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

Gu Tongwan was originally busy in the restaurant checking with Yu Chang about the various materials needed for the opening the day after tomorrow and determining the opening hours.

Unexpectedly, the other side started beating drums and gongs. When I went out to take a look, I saw that they had even invited a lion dancer to come over to help.

Originally, the guesthouse had been busy with training in the past two days, and the management of everyone was not particularly strict. Basically, there were two training classes in the morning and practical training in the afternoon, and the rest of the time was left to the employees to arrange freely.

Everyone was originally eating melon seeds and watching TV in the restaurant. A 50-inch TV was installed in the restaurant, which she found in the space. It is used to provide customers dining in the restaurant with a chance to watch base news.

Except for the two cleaners, the rest of the people were young people, so everyone was chatting excitedly. But the sound coming from outside startled everyone. Xiaoyu, who likes to watch the fun, immediately ran to the street. He came back two minutes later and pointed outside and said, "It seems that the pet store opposite is open today."

"The third group of people in the dungeon hasn't come in yet, but they're already open for business early?" The girl at the front desk was a little surprised. After all, the flow of people in the block was average at this time. Although there were people who came into the guesthouse to inquire in the past two days, most of them were either colleagues or owners of nearby shops.

At present, the first and second batches of people in the base together are less than 20,000 people. After the dungeon is opened the day after tomorrow, tens of thousands of people will pour in. These people are basically third-class citizens and the main permanent population of the dungeon in the future. After all, there are very few people who can get second-class citizen cards and first-class citizen cards at the beginning.

Xiaoyu shrugged, "I don't know about that. I guess the boss is in a hurry to open the shop, or he checked the lunar calendar and found that today is a good day to open the shop. Anyway, they have invited a lion dance team to come outside and are preparing. Should we go out and take a look? It seems quite lively to me."

"Really? I haven't seen lion dance in many years. We used to have it during every festival in my hometown. I want to go and see it." Another waitress had an excited smile in her eyes. She jumped down from a high chair and put two handfuls of melon seeds in her pockets when she went out. She planned to eat some melon seeds while watching the fun.

The cleaning lady who was watching TV saw the young people's excitement and joked, "Look at what you two have become. I'm afraid there will be more excitement in the future. The day after tomorrow, all the stores on the street will open, and there will be endless excitement."

"Sister Zhang, this is different. This is a pet shop that specializes in selling mutant animals. Think about it, we have been staying in the base all these years and have hardly been out. When will you have the chance to see a mutant animal? If you see one outside, you will be dead. Now we can finally see the mutant animals with our own eyes, we must see it." The short waiter stuffed a handful of biscuits into his mouth and seemed to be ready to go out.

Another cleaning lady also smiled and said, "It's the nature of young people to like to watch the fun. What's more, what Xiaoyuan said makes sense. We have never seen these strange animals. I followed the people in the community to the rescue center during the rainstorm, and then entered the base. The only mutated animals I saw were the ornamental carp raised in our community pond. After the mutation, the head of the carp was huge, at least 20 to 30 kilograms, and it also ate floating corpses. The scene was so creepy."

"Sister Tian, ​​please stop talking. I'm about to get goosebumps." Xiao Yuan couldn't help but shiver, looking scared.

"Hey, aren't all mutant animals like this? We'd better not get too close to them. What if they go crazy?" Sister Zhang couldn't help muttering to herself, but she didn't stop the young people from going out. Perhaps she was used to it.

Xiaoyu led the others out of the room, and the restaurant immediately became quiet again.

Yu Chang glanced at the equally young lady boss and asked with a smile, "Why don't you go out and take a look?"

"Let's wait a while. Let's check these accounts first..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another sound of intense banging outside. This time the sound was even louder than before. The sound even reached the speakers, and the music could be heard from at least several blocks away.

Gu Tongwan reluctantly put down the notebook in his hand and said, "Let's continue checking it this afternoon."

Lele at the stairs poked his head out, his chubby face looked innocent.

"Dad, can I go out and take a look?"

The child was very curious and could not stay in the room when he heard the noise outside, without even lacing up his sneakers.

Yu Chang certainly knew his son's personality. Although he seemed well-behaved in front of outsiders, he was actually very noisy at home.

Before Yu Chang could refuse, he heard Gu Tongwan beside him say with a smile: "Brother Yu, how about I take Lele over there? It just so happens that I also want to go out and take a look."

"Yeah, that's great." Lele immediately ran to Gu Tongwan happily, and held her hand naturally. The baby fat on her cheeks trembled with her movements, making her look even more adorable.

"Wait, tie your shoelaces if you want to go out." Yu Chang had a stern face. When it came to educating his son, he was always half sweet and half harsh.

Lele is obedient. Although he feels a little aggrieved, he still squats down and ties his shoelaces just to watch the fun.

I only saw his chubby fingers trying to tie the shoelaces in an awkward manner. It took him about five minutes to finally finish one side, but he kept looking outside, fearing that the fun would end.

Gu Tongwan said with a smile: "Don't worry, it will probably be noisy outside for a while, take your time."

Perhaps it was Gu Tongwan's gentle voice that made Lele feel a little relieved. His movements were much more skillful than before. This time it took him less than three minutes to tie it up. Then he hurriedly pulled Gu Tongwan outside.

When I went out with Gu Tongwan and Lele, I found that the pet shop on the street was surrounded by a crowd of people watching the fun, and there were even people trying to squeeze in.

"Le Le, hold my hand tightly and don't run around, okay?" Gu Tongwan was worried that the crowded crowd would separate her and Le Le, so she could only hold Le Le's hand tightly and then gave him a few more instructions.

Lele nodded sensibly: "Yes, I will hold my sister tightly."

Although he got a positive answer from the child, Gu Tongwan still hung a whistle around Lele's neck that he had found in the space under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

"Lele, this is called a whistle. If your sister gets separated from you by accident, just blow it a few times so that your sister will know where you are."

"I know this. Grandma Huang also bought one for Xiaofeng before. His was yellow." Lele seemed to like this silver whistle very much. He even put the whistle in his mouth and tried to blow it gently. The whistle immediately made a "beep" sound.

This is a whistle specially used in competitions. Its sound is louder than an ordinary whistle. I found it in an outdoor goods store. At that time, I entered "whistle" in the "menu" interface in the space with the idea of ​​giving it a try. I didn't expect that there was really such a thing in the space.

Worried that Lele might blow it, Gu Tongwan at least rubbed the child's head and said, "Okay, this is something to protect you. You can't play with it casually. You must use it when you get separated or encounter danger, understand?"

Lele nodded as if he understood, but his attention was suddenly attracted by the exclamations in front of him.

Gu Tongwan pulled Lele tight and squeezed forward a little. When they finally squeezed to the front row, they found a giant black iron cage in front of them. A mutant animal inside was grinning at the crowd watching the excitement through the cage.

The Pomeranian had been mutating, but its body size was a circle larger than before the mutation. Moreover, the originally docile pet dog, the Pomeranian, was now barking at the crowd, and its exposed claws were extremely sharp, scratching the iron cage and making a "sizzling" sound.

How can this be a pet Pomeranian? It's clearly a wild beast that has lost its mind.

Lele was born the year before the apocalypse. Not to mention the mutant beasts, he was brought into the base in a stroller. He had no impression of natural disasters. He even felt that the world had been apocalyptic from the beginning. He had never seen hustle and bustle of traffic or tall buildings, so he was very curious about everything in the more modern underground city.

Gu Tongwan was worried that Lele would get too close, so he pulled Lele back two steps. The Pomeranian seemed to be very disgusted with the smell of strangers and kept barking violently at the crowd.

"Boss, can this mutant Pomeranian be kept as a pet? Will it bite people right after it's released?"

"Yes, boss, this is a pet store, right? Even if it's a mutant animal, it should be obedient. Otherwise, who would dare to keep it around?"

"This Pomeranian is almost as big as a Samoyed. If it were any other mutant animal, wouldn't it be even bigger?"

Various discussions, accusations, and even questioning voices were heard among the crowd.

The boss was a young man. He did not show any displeasure at the various voices in the crowd. Instead, he smiled and knocked on the iron cage with something like a long stick in his hand, which immediately made a crisp "ding" sound. The mutant Pomeranian immediately stopped all barking and aggressive movements as if it had heard some kind of instruction.

"I know that people are worried that the pets they buy will attack their owners, and I also know that people are afraid of being hurt, but don't worry, the pets I sell here will receive professional guidance and training in the early stage, and I guarantee that they will not behave aggressively towards people."

After the man finished speaking, he opened the cage. This action immediately caused the crowd watching the excitement to unconsciously step back several steps, fearing that the beast would suddenly go crazy and pounce on them.

"Don't worry, everyone. I told you, the mutant creatures in my house won't attack people easily without my orders." The man's voice contained a smile, and he pulled the Pomeranian out of the cage as he spoke.

At this time, everyone realized that there was a white collar around the Pomeranian's neck. The Pomeranian looked up at the man and wanted to pounce on him. The man sneered and watched the Pomeranian fall heavily to the ground the moment it pounced on him, accompanied by a shrill and painful sound.

The collar on the Pomeranian's neck was emitting a strange red light.

The onlookers suddenly understood why the man was so confident that he would not be attacked by the Pomeranian. It seems that the collar is also a controller that can quickly stop the Pomeranian's aggressive behavior.

"This is a new product that our store has developed in cooperation with a research institute. This collar has a sensor decoration inside. Once it is installed on a pet, it can detect whether the pet poses a threat to humans from its body temperature, supernatural energy, and emotions. If its behavior is determined to be threatening, it will automatically release an electric current, which can instantly paralyze the mutants and restrict their movements. This current will not cause the mutants to die immediately, but it will make them unable to move for a few minutes. Everyone knows that mutants have a certain IQ. After experiencing it a few times, they will naturally know that their indiscriminate attacks will only make themselves painful. Over time, they will naturally become obedient because of the collar, and their personalities will stabilize after they get used to being fed by their owners."

"How cruel! Isn't this a disguised form of pet abuse?" A young girl couldn't bear to see the Pomeranian lying on the ground and making painful sounds, so she couldn't help but criticize the store's behavior.

"Is this thing really useful? Can it be used on humans?" Some people are curious whether this thing can be used on humans.

"Any technological product will fail sometimes. This thing is a time bomb. I don't think it's very reliable. If you don't want to live long, you can buy one and try it."

"This can actually be considered as training mutant creatures. Maybe some people like this method."

"Boss, can I buy this thing separately? I really want to try it on my dog."

There were various discussions in the crowd. Some people were accusing the store owner of being unscrupulous, while others were attracted by the product because of their curiosity and even began to plan to use the product on their captive mutant pets or even humans.

The man's goal has been half achieved, because his ultimate goal is just to promote this product, and selling mutant pets is just a gimmick.

"Of course, you can buy our products, but the quantity is limited. Usually they are sold together with pets. If you buy them separately, the price will not be discounted."

"Boss, what's in the other cage? Come and take a look." Someone noticed that the black cloth of the other cage had not been lifted yet, so he urged.

The man smiled and said, "This product is a bit special. We spent a long time looking for it in our store."

As he spoke, he opened another cage, and everyone discovered that there was a lizard covered with scales in the cage. The lizard was about one meter long, but it was not a Komodo lizard. The lizard's body was green and its scales were mixed with other colors, making it look like a giant chameleon.
