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

At 7:30 in the evening, there was only one service manager and eleven staff members left at the trading center, who were counting supplies. The originally relaxed atmosphere became tense and stagnant.

Everyone stared nervously at the surveillance video screen in front of them. The screen showed all the images from the opening in the morning to the present, and the camera screen was only facing the metal cabinet.

Staff member A suddenly spoke up, "I checked around 2pm. At that time, there were only lockers after 75 left, so it would be faster to check from 2pm."

The manager asked in a serious tone: "Are you sure?"

A nodded cautiously, "That must be right, because Xiaoxi was scalded by the boiling water at that time. I went to find her some burn ointment afterwards. I checked the time at that time, and it was 2:05."

"Set the time to after 2 o'clock and start watching from there." Two people are in charge of the pictures of a time period. Watch them all clearly for me, without missing any gaps."

The manager's voice echoed in the empty hall. He himself was nervous and excited, but after calming down, he felt a little heavy.

His eyes could not help but surrender to the red crystal core that was already placed in the safe next to him. He remembered that the guard team also captured a red crystal core when they carried out the first beast tide suppression operation last month.

It is said to have been obtained from a king-level mutant leopard, but its size is only half the size of a fist and its texture is relatively transparent.

In fact, most people just think that the more transparent the crystal core is, the more expensive it is. In fact, it is not the case. The truly good crystal core is the harder the texture, the darker the color, and the more stone-like the appearance is.

Currently, there has been a lack of high-level crystal cores in the base. According to the results of research conducted by the highest research institute, crystal cores can be used to develop special powders to deal with mutant beasts and potions to enhance the bodies of psychics. The higher the purity of the crystal cores and the stronger the concentration of the potion, the more obvious the effect will be after the psychic takes the potion.

Currently, every time a psychic uses his or her superpowers, the body will experience side effects. If the side effects reach a certain level, the person will go berserk.

A small-scale rampage will destroy everything around it, ranging from a few meters to tens of meters, but a large-scale rampage is said to be able to easily cause irreversible destruction of houses and lives within a radius of several kilometers.

Currently, the only thing that can resist side effects is the special medicine provided by the research institute every month, and those with special abilities will take these medicines regularly every month.

The government distributes this type of medicine to the guards, while civilians can only buy it through trading centers or obtain it through special channels, such as the "black market" outside the base.

The manager took a deep breath and carefully picked up the fist-sized crystal core. Its color was more ochre, but if you looked at it under the light, you could see that one area of ​​it was bright blood red.

In fact, part of the nucleus is wrapped in a layer of rough color on the outside, and the color inside is the true color of the crystal core. However, if you are more familiar with the crystal core, such as a member of the guard team, you will remove the outer layer of material, so that the crystal core looks more valuable.

The inspector next to him couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that we haven't got such a good crystal core for a long time."

Basically, the more valuable crystal cores are obtained by the elite members of the guard team and are usually sent directly to the research institute. The crystal cores exchanged at the trading center on a daily basis are basically the mutant beast crystal cores hunted by civilian hunters, most of which are below B-level crystal cores.

The manager nodded and sighed, "Yes, it is not easy. Keep it safe first. When the people from the research institute come tomorrow morning, I will ask them to see that our center can occasionally get good goods." A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he glared at the person in front of him, "Look carefully for me, and make sure to find the person who brought the crystal core!"

Time passed by minute by minute, and no one knew how much time had passed. In the end, no one knew who excitedly shouted, "Found it!"

At this time, the clock hands in the hall stopped at 10:15 pm, and everyone was exhausted.

Finally, at around 126: pm, we found the figure placing something in front of cabinet .

It was a person wearing a baseball cap and a mask, but one could tell from her slender figure that she was a woman. At that time, all the people nearby gathered around a few members of the guard team, and only this woman took out a piece of black cloth from her shoulder bag, threw the things in with quick movements, took the locker number plate, and walked out of the hall without looking back.

He even passed by Shen Lian on his way out, still walking forward without looking around.

The other people in the trading center were silent when they saw this scene, especially when they saw Shen Lian come in, everyone couldn't help but fall to one side with their knees shaking.

The manager was the first to ask, “Why is she okay?”

Someone touched his nose and said, "Maybe she endured it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by the manager. Anyone who can act normally under the pressure of a superior psychic is ineffective against the pressure unless his own strength is above that of the psychic.

The so-called invalidation is that research has found that a small number of people cannot sense the pressure released by people with special powers due to their dull perception, so they will not be affected at all. But at the same time, such people are extremely weak in athletic talent or other aspects, and it is even more impossible for them to have special powers.

Others immediately determined that Gu Tongwan was the latter, but if that was the case, how could such a person possess a high-level crystal core?

The manager took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, and said, "No matter what, be careful these two days. This woman will definitely come again. When the time comes, you must stabilize her as soon as possible and notify me!"

***

Gu Tongwan had no idea that his stone would cause such a chain reaction. He drove past several telecommunications companies in the circle.

The base now has network coverage, but it is impossible to use the base network without a card. In the base, whether you apply for a phone card or buy a mobile phone, you have to go to a special telecommunications store. She thought about it, took out a mobile phone that was common before the end of the world, and walked straight towards the telecommunications store.

As for mobile phones, they are definitely needed no matter where you are.
