Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

It was obviously not the first time that Xiao Zhi had seen Tu Tu, but he was well aware of Xia Yang's fear at the moment, so he immediately grabbed Xia Yang.

"Uncle Xia, don't worry, that's the boss lady's pet, it's not some dangerous mutant animal."

Seeing Xia Yang's look of being faced with a formidable enemy, Xiao Zhi had to explain immediately. As if to prove what he said, he moved closer to Tu Tu's position. However, Tu Tu was still lying lazily on the ground, neither showing any threatening gesture nor paying any attention to Xiao Zhi.

Such a big dog, no, it would be more accurate to say it is a white snow wolf rather than a domestic dog, because its body shape and appearance are more like a wolf.

And the powerful supernatural aura that I felt when I pushed the door open just now should have come from this snow wolf.

This powerful feeling of oppression is at least from an A-level mutant creature, or even higher.

I remember Xiao Zhi once said that the proprietress of this guesthouse was not a person with super powers, but is it true that an ordinary person can keep a mutant wolf in captivity?

"You must be Xia Yang, right? Please take a seat first. Don't be too nervous. We will just ask some simple questions and just treat it as a chat."

Xiao Zhi patted Xia Yang on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Uncle Xia, do a good job in the interview. I'll be leaving first."

After Xiao Zhi left, Gu Tongwan asked some random questions, most of which were about work. Originally, she only asked these questions to pave the way for the following questions. After all, what she was really curious about was what happened to Xia Yang.

However, what surprised Gu Tongwan was that Xia Yang answered every question very seriously, and from his answers, he seemed to have rich work experience. He was very familiar with loading and unloading, security and even cleaning. Moreover, he no longer had the high spirits he had as a hunter in the past, but rather the vicissitudes and mediocrity after being polished by reality and life.

In fact, Gu Tongwan was already very satisfied with Xia Yang after learning about this. Although Xia Yang currently had little combat power, it was sufficient for a security guard, and he could be arranged to be responsible for monitoring in the future.

After asking almost all the questions, Gu Tongwan asked the last question, which was also a question that had been bothering her for the past few days.

"Actually, Xiaozhi has told me a little about your situation. If you don't mind, can I ask you some questions about the energy core? Of course, if you think this topic will make you uncomfortable, you can choose not to answer."

"Do you want to know what happened that day?" Xia Yang frowned, his expression gradually becoming cold, but he was not targeting Gu Tongwan. It was just that every time he thought of what happened that day, it was like a knife cutting his heart.

"I am indeed a little curious, and I also want to know what causes the energy core in the body of a mutant to gradually weaken."

Perhaps it was Gu Tongwan's frank attitude that eased Xia Yang's resistance. After hesitating for a while, Xia Yang finally asked, "Are there any cigarettes here?"

Gu Tongwan nodded, "Wait for me."

Xia Yang saw her go out for about two minutes. When she came back, she was holding a pack of cigarettes in her hand and handed it directly to Xia Yang.

"I only need one." Xia Yang didn't smoke before, but he felt a huge blow after losing his arm. Taking a puff when he was upset would indeed make him feel better. However, it was not convenient for him to smoke because he had children at home. He would only run to the stairs to take a puff when he occasionally felt the urge to smoke. In addition, smoking also cost extra money, so he only smoked once in a while.

Gu Tongwan returned to his seat and smiled faintly, "Take it. I don't smoke either, but I just keep some on hand. After all, there are many workers here, and sometimes I need to trouble others."

Most of the people working on the project smoke. Sometimes, instead of giving them a raise or a meal, it is better to give them a pack of good quality cigarettes. You know, cigarettes are not cheap on the market.

Xia Yang didn't hold back this time. He took out one cigarette and carefully put the rest into his pocket. He always carried a lighter with him. He took two big puffs eagerly before squinting his eyes and telling what had happened.

The course of events was actually pretty much the same as what Xiao Zhi told Gu Tongwan, but Xia Yang's description was a little more detailed.

"After I fainted, I actually woke up once. At that time, I vaguely felt that I seemed to be taken to some place by a group of people, but I didn't know who they were, and I was worried that it was my illusion. It was not until later that my wife told me that she found pinhole-like marks on my body that I was sure that the people I saw at that time were not my own hallucination." Thinking of this, Xia Yang still couldn't help shuddering. Even though he was decisive in killing when he was a hunter, he felt physically uncomfortable because his superpower core was taken away for no reason and he might even be used as the target of an experiment. This experience was too unbelievable, and no one would believe it even if he told it out. Therefore, except for his wife, Xia Yang remained silent even when facing the interrogation of the guards.

Gu Tongwan didn't expect Xia Yang to have such an experience, but Xia Yang's words made her connect it to another thing, so she asked: "By the way, do you still remember the clothes or physical characteristics of those people you mentioned? Even a little bit will do."

Xia Yang frowned, perhaps because he had never thought about this question before. But now after Gu Tongwan's reminder, he remembered a detail.

"It seems that one of them has a tattoo on his wrist, but I can't tell the specific pattern."

"Is it something like this?" Gu Tongwan took out a pen and paper and started drawing something, and finally handed it to Xia Yang.

Xia Yang just took a curious look at it at first, but he didn't expect that just one look would give him a fright, because the strange line pattern on the drawing was exactly the same as the tattoo on the wrist of the man who appeared that day.

It seems that he is another member of the "Illuminati". This terrorist organization has not given up on developing its own believers over the years, and is even now targeting people with special powers. Perhaps Xia Yang's original mission was even planned by this organization.

However, Gu Tongwan did not intend to tell Xia Yang about this matter. After all, it would be safer for Xia Yang not to know about this matter.

After chatting for about ten minutes, this time they learned about Xia Yang's family situation. Gu Tongwan smiled and said, "I already know the basic situation. Our guesthouse will not officially start business until the underground city opens to the first batch of citizens at the end of the month. You can come and report then. As for the contract, it will be given to you after the new personnel arrive. However, before that, everyone has a one-month probation period, and the salary during the probation period is two-thirds of that of regular employees."

Xia Yang didn't expect the interview to go so smoothly. Although some problems made him feel uncomfortable, it was a happy thing to have the opportunity to work again.

Xiao Zhi was sitting in the rest area on the first floor. Although she was holding an old book that Gu Tongwan had bought from the farmers' market, her mind was actually on the upstairs.

It was not until Xia Yang appeared in the hall that Xiao Zhi called out "Uncle Xia".

There was a faint smile on Xia Yang's face. Xiao Zhi knew at a glance that the matter was most likely settled, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Xia, I told you the boss lady is a good person, right? As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to stay."

Xia Yang had a refreshed feeling at this moment, especially when he looked around at the place where he would soon work, he suddenly regained hope for the future.

"Yeah, the boss lady is a nice person, but I dare not get too complacent as there is still a month of probation period." Xia Yang was worried that he would be fired if his performance was not good. After all, he had tried other jobs before, but each time he was fired within a week or half a month, using the excuse that the store currently had enough staff. In fact, they still despised him for being a "disabled person."

"It's okay, Uncle Xia, you can do it. The boss lady here is not that kind of person. Although I can't say that I can judge people very accurately, at least she is different from the bosses I have met before." Xiao Zhi didn't know why he believed in Gu Tongwan so unconditionally. Maybe it was because she gave people a different feeling from others.

Just as the two were chatting, Xia Yang suddenly raised his head. Although he had lost most of his supernatural cores, he was still very sensitive to other supernatural auras.

Because the other workers had gone to other floors to do the final finishing touches, there were no other people in the yard and on the first floor, so Xia Yang was sure that this strange and malicious aura came from outside the yard.

Xia Yang walked out quickly, and when he reached the yard, he found two strangers standing not far away and wandering around. After seeing Xia Yang and Xiao Zhi come out, they stopped talking and walked towards them.

The two looked Xia Yang and Xiao Zhi up and down. One of the men couldn't hide his vulgarity and vulgarity between his eyebrows, so he smiled and said to Xia Yang: "Do you work here or are you the management here?"

Perhaps it was because the man looked too shabby, and the wooden pipe had never left Xiaozhi's chest. He even grinned at Xiaozhi, but there was a hint of ridicule in his smile, which made Xiaozhi frown, fearing that his anger would be too high and he would throw a thorny root at the man's face.

Xia Yang took a step forward, blocking the other party with at least half of his body, and also blocking those malicious gazes that were falling on Xiao Zhi.

"Who are you and what's wrong?"

Facing Xia Yang's questioning tone, the man's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he still had a smile on his face. It was just that kind of smile that made people feel uncomfortable, as if the other party was plotting something.

The man took out a business card from his trouser pocket with a name and phone number on it.

"Our company deals in building materials. We saw that this place seems to be under renovation recently. If the boss lady is willing, you can contact us for some furniture and decorations in the future. It would be best if you call us in person to discuss. The price is reasonable and we will not cheat anyone."

When the man saw the other sleeve that was moved when he took the business card, it was empty. He immediately realized that Xia Yang was missing an arm, so he couldn't help but show a little more contempt in his eyes. He thought he had concealed it well, but he didn't know that these changes in his expression had already been seen by Xiao Zhi behind him.

The two of them chatted with Xia Yang about the decoration and other aspects of the dungeon, but for some reason they always ended up talking about the guesthouse, especially the staff of the guesthouse and the boss behind it.

After the two men left, Xiao Zhi came out from behind Xia Yang, still with some worry on his face: "Uncle Xia, is there something wrong with these two? Why do I feel like they are always trying to find out about the boss's wife from us? And I remember that the boss's wife and the construction brother here said that they all said to the outside world that the boss is a man. How can they be so sure that the boss is a woman? Isn't this wrong?"

Xia Yang nodded, his face solemn: "These few people may have no idea of ​​entertaining others, and may have been eyeing this place long ago. Go back and tell the boss lady to pay attention to this situation. After all, you need to be careful about everything in the end times."

----

Time passed quickly and it was the end of March. Chen Yanxi finally sent a message that the mission was finally completed and they could arrive in Jiangcheng before the guesthouse opened.

Gu Tongwan had previously posted recruitment information on the forum, and the recruitment section has gradually become lively during this period. This is mainly because with the underground city about to open, the shops and new companies below need manpower, which has increased employment opportunities for base residents to a certain extent.

The recruitment section of the forum has always been the most visited place. After all, there are few job opportunities in the base, and only a small number of people own houses in the base. The rest rent government houses or private houses. The rent and living expenses added together are a headache. Without a stable job, one can only temporarily live in the "shantytown" with the worst environment in the outer circle.

As soon as I entered the forum, I saw that the section is mainly divided into three sections: [Corporate Recruitment], [Talent Center], and [Other Recruitment].

【Corporate Recruitment】As the name suggests, it refers to job recruitment open to the public, such as government departments or hunter guilds.

[Other recruitment] refers to recruitment in some stores, hotels and private individuals.

The Talent Center is a place where job seekers can recommend themselves and share their basic information and work experience on various job types. This can attract the attention of people from companies or relevant persons who need to recruit personnel, thereby increasing their chances of successful job search.

After looking at the first two sections, Gu Tongwan clicked on the [Talent Center]. Unexpectedly, there were so many talents there.

Needle in a Haystack: Male, 28 years old, F-level metal user, can manipulate metal to a certain extent.

Little White Rabbit: Female, 24 years old, can do any job, but requires two days off a week and the working hours cannot exceed 8 hours a day.

Some even went so far as to post a list of all the jobs they had done since the end of the world, and ended with a sentence, "Please do not disturb me if your salary is less than 800 points. I will not accept transfers."

Gu Tongwan referred to the salaries of other positions and roughly estimated the income level of each position in the base. Taking into account factors such as transportation, working environment and time, she has basically thought about the salary she can offer.

Picking up the hot coffee on the table and taking a sip, Gu Tongwan hoped that this recruitment would go smoothly.
