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

"Dear passengers, welcome to Metro Line 2. The final stop of this train is Science and Technology Park. Passengers who are getting off please be careful to bring your belongings with you. The next stop is Wanda Plaza. Please prepare to get off at the door..."

The long-lost subway announcement made Gu Tongwan raise her head suddenly. At this moment, she broke out in a cold sweat and her palm on the door handle tightened involuntarily.

"Ah, my balls!"

"dong dong dong"

A foreign object hit Gu Tongwan's instep. She lowered her head in confusion and found that it was a colorful children's football.

The next thing that came into view was a little boy about five years old wearing overalls.

The little boy was fair and round. He was squatting at Gu Tongwan's feet, struggling to pull back the football he had thrown.

Such a clean and beautiful child would never appear in the end times, so is this an illusion?

Gu Tongwan bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the pain made her frown.

The little boy raised his head and glanced at Gu Tongwan. He was obviously frightened and there was fear on his face. Then he nervously ran towards his mother holding the ball.

"Didn't I tell you to hold on to your football? If you keep getting mad like this, I'll tell your dad about it when I get home and he won't buy you these toys anymore. Hey, why are you shaking so badly?"

The young mother was holding her child and was about to scold her son a few more words, but her son suddenly threw himself into her arms and cried.

The mother noticed that her son was acting strange and raised her head to look in the direction where he had picked up the ball. The young woman in front of her had an abrupt and frighteningly pale face. She looked emotionally abnormal. Could she be suffering from some serious illness?

At this time, the door opened, and Gu Tongwan was pushed forward by the crowd behind her who were eager to get off the train. It was not until the door closed and the subway whizzed past her that she finally came to her senses.

Is this a dream?

She raised her palm in disbelief, and found that the sticky cold sweat oozing out of it was so real. The closed security door glass opposite reflected herself wearing a gray suit and mid-heeled shoes, looking like an office lady.

Such attire would never appear in the end times when order collapsed. At that time, there was a global power outage for eight years, and large transportation facilities such as subways could no longer operate normally.

Most importantly, she looked at the reflected small and pretty face and the curly hair draped over her shoulders. She felt like two different people compared to her haggard self in the last year of the apocalypse. Suddenly, she touched her face with some trembling.

After struggling for eight years in the apocalypse, what she hated most was her overly outstanding face.

The troubles and covetousness caused by this face came one after another. The men were eager to make her a plaything, and the women were so jealous that they wanted to grind her to ashes.

In the fifth year of the apocalypse, not only was her face scratched, but her hair was also shaved off.

But these are not what Gu Tongwan fears the most. She is more afraid of living in darkness in the end times, with poor clothing, poor food and no sunlight.

In order to fill her stomach, she can eat rotten and even maggoty food. When there is no water, she can drink flood water that has been soaked in corpses or even her own urine. She can also live in an airtight sewer that is full of mosquitoes and flying ants to avoid unpredictable natural disasters and the sudden appearance of zombies.

What is even more horrifying is the darkness of human nature in the end times. Rape, murder, looting and robbery have become normalized. Order and law have completely collapsed. The government and the military have long been unable to control the social situation that is gradually getting out of control.

Even in the base, society has gradually evolved into a class system. The value of human beings is no longer equal for all, but is divided into different classes. Those who create value become superior people, while inferior people without any value even become slaves.

Gu Tongwan had killed people in the end times and plotted against those who intended to harm her. At that time, as long as she could have a bite to eat, she would even give up everything, including the only remaining kindness. Even in the harshest environment, she wanted to continue living. As long as she survived, she would always see the day when this planet gradually recovers.

She thought she had escaped the terrible natural disasters and mutated zombies, but unexpectedly she still succumbed to the malice of human nature in the end. In the last group mission, she was abandoned by the team members who even used her as bait to delay the zombies' pursuit. In the end, because she didn't want to fall into the bloody mouths of the zombies, she jumped off the bridge with her injured body.

It was clear that there was no possibility of survival. She had given up hope the moment she fell into the water, waiting for the cold river water to drown her. She still clearly remembered the moment when she was enveloped by the overwhelming feeling of suffocation.

But why did she appear on the subway in the blink of an eye?

Suppressing his rapid breathing, he took out his mobile phone from his shoulder bag with trembling hands. It clearly showed June 2022. The time went back to eight years ago, which was two months before the doomsday.

Not sure whether it was surprise or fear, Gu Tongwan slowly squatted down, covered his face with his hands, tears streaming between his fingers.

She was actually reborn, she didn't die.

She went back to the time before the end of the world, instead of being in the end of the world where people are like ants.

I don’t know how long I cried. Countless workers who were in a hurry to work passed by me, and the chaotic footsteps rang in my ears.

After calming down a little, Gu Tongwan slowly adjusted his breathing and began to accept everything in front of him.

If there were a god in this world who chose to let her live again, she would be willing to seize this hard-won opportunity, even though she knew that the planet was about to be hit by a devastating attack.

What was she doing in the two months before the end of the world?

At that time, I should still be trying hard to learn how to be a qualified office worker. During my internship in my fourth year of college, I got up at six o'clock every morning, took the subway at seven o'clock, and stood on the subway for an hour while yawning.

I arrived at the company at 8 o'clock and didn't get home until 8:30 in the evening. The internship salary I received a month was only 3,000 yuan.

"Ding dong ding dong"

The leader in the work group on my mobile phone suddenly tagged me.

"Gu Tongwan, didn't I ask you to come to the company at 8 o'clock this morning to prepare for the meeting? Where have you been? Don't you want to work anymore? If you don't want to work anymore, move on. The company doesn't need people like you!"

The company consists of more than 30 people and is not large in scale, but the vice president is quite arrogant and likes to treat newcomers like slaves. In addition, Gu Tongwan once exposed his sexual harassment, and since that day, the vice president has been making things difficult for him.

Because she was worried that she would not be able to graduate from university because she would not be able to obtain an internship certificate from the company, she had to swallow her anger and silently endure all kinds of difficulties from her boss, always thinking that she would have to endure it until she graduated from university and throw the resignation letter in his face.

Gu Tongwan bit her lip. She was still a little dazed at this moment. After all, death seemed to have happened just a moment ago, but now she was standing here intact. She was not even sure whether she was reborn into the original world or came to another peaceful and tranquil world.

Until a cold and mechanical voice suddenly appeared in my mind.

[The system has been restarted, the space is waiting to be opened, and currently 200 points are required to activate it. ]

She was very familiar with this voice. This was the spatial ability that appeared in the sixth year of the apocalypse. But unfortunately, she didn't even have the capital to protect herself at that time, let alone make good use of this space. After all, resources were scarce at that time, and it was difficult to find useful things to put in when going out on a mission.

At that time, my space could not be upgraded due to lack of gold, so it remained at the basic size. I remember that my small space was full of all kinds of useless garbage, including clods of earth, rotten branches, old clothes pulled from dead people, and even used disposable lunch boxes. In short, it was more like recycling garbage than hoarding supplies at that time.

There is no way. The space appeared too late and the best time to use it has long been missed.

But this life is different. The early appearance of the space means that she has enough time to make corresponding preparations.

"Two hundred points? That means I need two hundred grams of gold of the same value..."

Gu Tongwan let out a long sigh. No matter what, now that she had the space, she finally accepted the fact that she was reborn.

In addition to the anxiety in her heart, she also had the hope of survival. After all, she still had two months left, and she had to make good use of it.

In this apocalyptic life, she must eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and live better than anyone else!

Thinking of this, he quickly sent a text message to the group's work group.

"I am reporting Zhang XX for frequently harassing female employees in the company, which has seriously affected their physical and mental health. Such social scum should be eliminated. I will resign immediately and quit my job."

A light smile appeared on his face. Even if he couldn't kill that damn vice president with his own hands, the end of the world would come in two months. Someone would naturally take care of a selfish dog like him. After all, all the laws and systems at that time were useless. The police and the army could hardly protect themselves, and maintaining social order became an empty talk. No one would care if one or two people died.

If he wasn't dead by then, she wouldn't mind fulfilling his wish!

Gu Tongwan took out his mobile phone and logged into the bank app. Looking at the more than 70,000 yuan he had saved from working part-time and various scholarships during his four years in college, he made up his mind in just a short moment.

As soon as I got out of the subway exit, I quickly found the nearest gold jewelry store nearby. The mid-year 618 sale is approaching, and all major shopping malls are holding promotional activities. Especially as the price of gold has dropped slightly recently, jewelry stores have been competing to offer various attractive discount plans.

Coming out of the jewelry store, Gu Tongwan put her left hand on her neck. The 140-gram gold necklace under the collar of her shirt made her feel a sharp pain, but since the space needed gold to activate, she had no choice.

She quickly returned to the small apartment she rented, which was located in the old dormitory of the water plant in the old city. It had one bedroom and one living room, less than 35 square meters, but fortunately the transportation was convenient. The rent was 850 yuan per month, which was acceptable to her.

She rummaged through the drawers without even having time to change her clothes, and found a red wooden box. When she opened it, she found a pair of gold bracelets inside.

This was the prize she won when she participated in an activity similar to "The Challenge of Wisdom and Courage" in her sophomore year. She was the second place at the time, and the prize was a pair of gold dragon and phoenix bracelets. The market price was 35,000 yuan at the time, and she estimated that it weighed about 50 to 60 grams.

After throwing all these things into the dark space, more than ten seconds later, the cold mechanical sound rang out again.

[Two hundred and thirteen grams of gold detected, space activated. ]

Gu Tongwan couldn't wait to enter the space with excitement.

The activated space is less than ten square meters, about the size of a bathroom, and it is dark at the end of the space.

Gu Tongwan tried to walk over, but once she touched the edge of the darkness, she immediately felt an invisible wall in front of her, preventing her from taking even a single step forward.

At this time the system reminds you again.

[The next space upgrade requires 400 grams of gold. ]

Wow, it doubled.

Gu Tongwan couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth at this moment.

What a shitty system.

Since she was given the chance to be reborn, couldn't the golden finger be opened wider? At least she should be equipped with all the supplies. Otherwise, with her conditions, where can she find tens of billions of supplies? After all, she is not the third generation of a wealthy family whose parents have both passed away, and she doesn't have billions of inheritance. Fuck!

After being reborn, I'm still a poor guy. With the little money I have now, the things I stockpile will only be enough for half a year at most. By then, all the money will be gone, and I'll be just like in my previous life.

With a sigh and his hands on his hips, Gu Tongwan paced anxiously. He couldn't take out high-quality loans, and he had nothing to pawn, so borrowing money was not practical.

She was just a social animal who had studied hard for four years just to get a diploma, but the reality was often more cruel than she imagined. She was reborn, but the first thing she faced after her rebirth was to make money!

After coming out of the space, Gu Tongwan took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and took a sip. The coolness of the beer immediately flowed into his stomach from his throat. It was simply refreshing in the hot summer.

When I opened the phone again, the WX wallet showed a balance of 782.9, the balance on Alipay was 89, and there was in the account on another bank APP.

Although I have little money, I have to start stocking up and see if I can find an opportunity to get a bargain.

Ps: In this article, the heroine's first life space appears a few years after the end of the world, so zero-dollar purchases and free rides are no longer useful, which is why she is so miserable in the end of the world.
