Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 8 A New Mission
Gu Tongwan’s eyelids jumped. Could it be that this system “grants every request”?
However, I still let my consciousness enter the space and open the system panel to check.
[Lawrence Klein, an international fugitive wanted criminal, has been located at 29 Baker Street, California City, Country P. The prisoner is carrying weapons. The host must complete the task. Completing this task will help improve the space in the future.]
Gu Tongwan frowned immediately.
The United States? Do we have to cross borders to complete the mission this time? And the other party is armed, which sounds risky.
But high risk means high reward, and the system will not assign tasks for no reason, which means that this person is of high value.
Gu Tongwan immediately opened the bounty website to check, and found that he had to climb over the wall to enter the international bounty platform. He had to spend money to get a VPN to successfully view it.
Lawrence Klein, born in Mexico, is currently the world's most notorious drug lord and criminal boss. He escaped from a prison in North Carolina in 2019 after killing three prison guards. He has committed numerous crimes in the past decade and trafficked in various banned drugs and medicines across borders. In 2020, he was designated as a global A-level wanted criminal, and the current reward has reached 1000 million US dollars.
Gu Tongwan hesitated about the task given by the system this time. Although the reward amount was very attractive, the other party was not an ordinary person. He was a ruthless man who could escape from the world's strictest prison in Bek, and he was also the boss of a gang. There were more than 800 members of the "Black Wolf" organization in Lawrence's hands alone. Moreover, the other party had a gun. Gu Tongwan was risking his own life.
However, the remaining balance is less than 300,000 yuan, and we will need to continue purchasing various supplies to prevent the arrival of extremely cold and hot weather in the future. We will also need to rent a safer high-rise apartment to survive heavy rains and floods.
All of the above require a lot of money to achieve.
Everything left Gu Tongwan with no choice. Suddenly, her palms felt wet and warm. The two little puppies, one black and one white, probably sensed her anxiety and restlessness, and they kept licking her palms to show their concern.
Gu Tongwan lowered his eyes, and suddenly a surge of strength surged in his heart. He stroked the two little heads and sighed with a smile: "Yes, in order to survive, how do you know it won't work if you don't take a risk? Otherwise, what's the point of living again?"
However, it would take her five or six days to go to the Beautiful Country and back, plus she would have to complete the mission. The space has not yet been upgraded to the highest level, and living things can only stay in it for two hours. Does that mean she has to leave these two little ones in a pet shop?
However, this thought was quickly dispelled. Gu Tongwan suddenly thought of another person. After his rebirth, he had been busy storing various supplies and even forgot about his childhood friend with whom he had a good relationship before the end of the world.
You can't blame Gu Tongwan for being heartless. It was mainly because in the first year of the apocalypse in the previous life, due to the harsh environment and various natural disasters that followed, the network infrastructure was completely abandoned. In the following years, although the major bases tried to establish a network, they were unable to truly realize it. Without the medium for communication, Gu Tongwan lost contact with almost all the people he knew. Coupled with the subsequent major earthquakes and tsunamis, the violent plate movements directly caused the entire Jiangcheng to be dislocated. Some people were separated from their loved ones by natural disasters and could never see them again in their entire lives.
Liao Yunyun answered the phone quickly, and before Gu Tongwan could speak, her little cannon-like mouth started firing.
"Gu Tongwan, why haven't you contacted me for several days? I called you eight hundred times last week. Where the hell have you been? It's rare for Chen Yanxi to come back from the capital. You are too pretentious. What's wrong with you?!"
Last week was Gu Tongwan's busiest time, and he had just been reborn. His phone was in silent mode most of the time, and he had no time to check for any missed calls. Perhaps he ignored Liao Yunyun's call unknowingly.
"Yunyun, I was too busy last week, so I didn't hear the call." Gu Tongwan said softly. After all, she was indeed wrong in this matter.
Liao Yunyun grew up in the same orphanage as her, but she was one year older than her. Tongming and Gu Tongwan were taken away by different foster families, but Liao Yunyun was luckier than her. The couple who adopted her were an elderly couple. They were never harsh on her in life. They treated her more like their own granddaughter than their adopted daughter. The two old people passed away when Liao Yunyun was 18 and 20 years old respectively, but they left Liao Yunyun a house and hundreds of thousands of dollars in property, which was enough for Liao Yunyun to live a normal life for ten years without spending too much.
Liao Yunyun did not take the college entrance examination. After graduating from high school, she joined a cosmetics company as a sales consultant. She worked there for less than two years. Later, after she earned some money, she opened a coffee shop and became the boss. She is considered a wealthy woman.
Gu Tongwan has very few friends, and Liao Yunyun can be said to be one of the few true friends before the end of the world. However, she doesn’t know how long this pure friendship can last after the end of the world, but she still hopes that Liao Yunyun will be fine by then.
"Forget it, I just feel sorry for someone... Then why did you call me? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you might as well quit that crappy job. You work so hard and only get so little money every month. How about you take the barista exam and work in my shop? I'll give you two days off on weekends." Liao Yunyun still cares about her friend and won't lose her temper for long.
Gu Tongwan smiled and said, "I'd rather not smash your store's sign. By the way, I have something to talk to you about today. I may need to go on a business trip the day after tomorrow. Could you help me take care of the dog?"
“You have a dog?”
Liao Yunyun's tone was a little surprised. She knew that Gu Tongwan had liked small animals since she was a child, but she couldn't raise any due to her living environment. After all, she couldn't even support herself at one point, let alone cats and dogs.
"Well, there are some reasons. The children are still young, so I don't feel comfortable leaving them in a pet shop..." Liao Yunyun has experience in raising pets, and she has a golden retriever at home, so she should be able to take good care of the two little ones.
Liao Yunyun agreed readily, and the two made an appointment to meet the day after tomorrow.
The two little ones had temporarily settled down. Gu Tongwan lowered his eyes and looked at the two little ones, one black and one white, circling around him with their tongues sticking out, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"Tutu, Aoao, these will be your two names from now on."
He pointed at the white puppy and then at the black one.
The two little ones seemed to understand, and their little tails wagged even more happily.
Gu Tongwan continued to pick up her phone and customized various freeze-dried dog food and meat pellets. She bought 500 bags in total, and they were a better brand. It cost her nearly 70,000 yuan, which made her gasp with pain.
Fortunately, the platform received news at this time that the Fist of the North Star figure that she had previously listed on the second-hand trading website was sold, and she directly received 200,000 yuan.
She didn't feel bad at all about spending the scumbag's money. She quickly opened a Pinxixi website and placed an order for 2000 disposable portable toilets and disposable toilet garbage bags, and also bought five tons of cat litter, spending a total of more than yuan.
When purchasing these things, Gu Tongwan specifically communicated with the store to delay the shipment for a week, because it would be very troublesome if no one signed for the goods when they were delivered while he was not at home.
The things he had purchased were only a small part. If he really wanted to survive in the apocalypse, these supplies were far from enough. Gu Tongwan bit his lip and suddenly used his consciousness to ask the system: "System, I don't have any weapons for the mission later. Can't you provide me with some?"
The opponent is not only a famous big boss, but also has a gun in his hand at all times. Even though his body has been forged beyond that of ordinary people, he is unarmed and will be shot when he confronts him head-on.
Seeing that the system didn't respond at all, Gu Tongwan didn't give up and continued to ask: "If I die and the mission is not completed, then I won't be able to find gold upgrade space in the future, and the system won't be able to upgrade..."
In fact, when Gu Tongwan realized that the system would assign tasks appropriately according to her situation, she guessed that the upgrade of the space should be related to the upgrade of the system, and her rebirth was not a coincidence. Perhaps the system had chosen her again.
Therefore, she was certain that if she did not choose to accept the task, the system would definitely not be able to upgrade.
After three minutes of silence, the system finally responded coldly.
[The space mall has been activated. One hundred points are required to open it. Goods can be purchased based on the points. ]
A familiar computer screen appeared in Gu Tongwan's mind. There were only three items in the first column of the mall, but the items were marked with question marks, so it was impossible to tell what was inside. This should be because the mall had not yet opened.
Although she still complained about the system in her heart, she had a strong feeling that the items on this product column might play a key role in her next task.
