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

The fifth day of the apocalypse.

Gu Tongwan got up very early today, before seven in the morning, just after dawn. Mainly because he had an appointment with Liu Jinde today as the first day of the house construction, he was in a particularly good mood this morning with some anticipation, and even hummed a little tune while washing up.

She put on a short-sleeved sweater, a pair of jeans, white sneakers, a white baseball cap, and the same black mask that she always wears. This time, she even wore a pair of black-framed glasses. Her whole temperament was weakened a lot. She grabbed her small backpack and went straight downstairs.

This time when we went out, Aoao and Tutu also followed behind. The two are much more well-behaved now and they won’t bark even when they see strangers.

When I went downstairs, I met Xiaoli who was wiping the table. Xiaoli was also wearing a pink dress today, but the material didn't look very good. However, she was still a beautiful and youthful sight in the apocalypse.

As soon as Gu Tongwan came down, Xiaoli stared with her eyes wide open, sometimes looking at her slender waist, sometimes looking at her long legs wrapped in jeans. In addition, Gu Tongwan had waist-length hair today, which was long, straight and very black and shiny.

During this period of time, Gu Tongwan discovered that because the residents living in the inner circle had better conditions, the clothing and appearance here was basically the same as in the end of the world, and they did not suddenly return to the poverty of the 1950s and 1960s due to natural disasters.

Loving beauty is a girl's nature. Even though all industries are in a state of disrepair nowadays, apart from food and energy as the most demanded items in the base, clothing can be said to be the second most demanded item.

Therefore, within less than half a year after the base was built, tailor shops and clothing stores sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, whether in the inner or outer circles. There were almost seven or eight ready-made clothing stores in the inner circle commercial street.

However, the clothes sold there are basically all hand-sewn. Currently, the clothing factories and textile factories are still under construction. Small factories can only produce cloth. As for ready-made clothes, they need to be designed and processed manually. Therefore, a newly made garment is not cheap. A simple dress will cost hundreds of points. If it is a style with more complicated workmanship, it will cost several hundred points.

However, it is said that Xiaoli's clothes are all second-hand clothes bought from the black market. Perhaps someone rescued a batch of clothes from a clothing factory after the end of the world. But because they have been soaked in floods, they have some defects such as fading and hanging threads. But the price is much cheaper than ready-made clothes. Basically, you can find a nice piece of clothing with only a few dozen points.

When Xiaoli saw her outfit, which looked simple but showed off her figure, she was immediately envious. But when she thought that she was a wealthy woman who was about to own a house and whose background was mysterious, she felt curious and longing.

"Why are you up so early? Are you going out?" Xiaoli asked in surprise, but she glanced at the two dogs and still moved to the side with some fear.

Gu Tongwan smiled and said: "Yes, the house over there is going to start construction today, and the master may already be there, so we have to go there early."

Xiaoli came over and asked in a low voice: "By the way, are you going to the black market with my aunt tonight? Can you buy something for me then?" Because the last time her aunt took her out, they were almost harassed by some vagrants outside the base. Xiaoli now has a trauma in her heart about the black market, but many of the things she wants to buy are sold on the black market.

"Sure, just send the things you want to buy to my phone and I'll keep an eye out for you tonight."

"Wanwan, thank you so much, I love you." Xiaoli's face was full of smiles, and then she jumped around and went to the kitchen to help.

When Gu Tongwan drove to the outside of the yard, Liu Jinde had already gathered a group of people to squat outside the yard. Before Gu Tongwan arrived, the yard was covered with warning tape. If they went in rashly, they were worried that they would not be able to explain clearly when questioned by the Self-Defense Forces patrolling by, so they had to wait until the person himself arrived.

Liu Jinde stood up immediately when he heard the noise, and the others also turned their eyes to the SUV.

They were all former villagers of Xiaoxi Village, so they didn't feel restrained when they saw Gu Tongwan. Many of them had gone to the back mountain to chop firewood together in the past.

"Is it really Doctor Gu?" One of the villagers was rubbing his hands with excitement, with a gleam in his eyes as if he had met an old friend.

Gu Tongwan smiled and nodded: "Long time no see."

"Doctor Gu, that's great. Don't you know how worried we were when the village chief came back and mentioned you? We thought you..." Another villager paused in the middle of his words, realizing that it was not the right time to say such a depressing thing, and immediately changed the subject, "Now that we are all in the same base, it will be convenient for us to travel in the future."

Everyone was talking at once, and they surrounded Gu Tongwan in a flash. Finally, Liu Jinde said with a smile: "Hey, hey, hey, we are here to work, we have to hurry up, and we can talk about the past after work."

Liu Jinde and the other four took a look at the cement, lime, some steel bars, bricks, and even paint and stainless steel on the ground. Although they had vaguely heard from Liu Jinde that Dr. Gu had prepared the building materials, they were still quite shocked.

"Doctor Gu, you're awesome." Someone sighed for a long time before uttering these words.

The villagers that Liu Jinde found had all been working on construction sites before the end of the world. They also took on some private house-building jobs when they were in the village. After discussing it over, they decided that they could build the house before the 20th of next month, so they got to work in a hurry.

Here, work was in full swing and suddenly there was a "dong dong dong" sound.

In the villa, Liu Hun turned over in bed because of the noise. He then opened the curtains and saw a number of people working on construction in an abandoned yard not far away. He frowned, washed up a bit, and then came downstairs.

At this time, other people in the hall were having a leisurely breakfast.

"What's wrong with those people outside? They're so noisy. Can't we sleep?" Liu Hun muttered in dissatisfaction as he walked to the dining table. Seeing this, Xu Qingzhi went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of millet porridge to him.

Ye Ziqiu took a bite of the tasteless tortilla and said lazily, "They are working during normal working hours. Do you think everyone would sleep until this hour like you?"

Liu Hun looked up at the clock in the living room. It was already eight forty-five. According to the regulations of the base, the construction period is from seven-thirty in the morning to noon, and from two-thirty in the afternoon to nine in the evening. If construction is required after nine o'clock, a night construction permit issued by the base is required, which costs thousands of points for one night. Therefore, generally only government projects are constructed at night.

After taking a bite of the not-so-soft bread, Liu Hun raised his eyebrows and asked, "There must be a rich man next door. The building materials have been piled in the yard for several days, and he even specially asked the Self-Defense Force to patrol and check."

"If you don't buy weird things, you can also buy a house." Ye Ziqiu said bluntly.

Liu Hun shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "You don't understand. A man is a teenager until he dies. He enjoys playing games."

Liu Hun is a senior game fan. He recently spent tens of thousands of points to buy a laptop. Once connected to the Internet, he had a lot of fun playing several online games that had just been developed by the base.

They usually earn several thousand points a month, but no one has ever thought of spending the money on a house. For example, Ye Ziqiu has spent most of her savings on skin care products. After all, as a girl, no one doesn't care about managing her appearance.

Liu Hun glanced at the people at the dinner table and saw that two people were missing, so he asked, "Where are the boss and Geng Zimo?"

"I went to the research institute. Today is the boss's regular physical examination day."

The top thirty members of the guard team have a fixed physical examination time every month. The research institute needs to conduct various data research on the psychics, such as whether there is a consumption or growth phenomenon of superpowers, and whether there are any psychological problems with the psychics.

Lower-ranking guard members undergo collective inspections every two months.

"The boss is going to break the record again. Mutated beasts below level A should not be able to get close to him. Shen Lian's grandson has also come to the second area recently, and he is eager to give us a head."

There was a chilling chill in Liu Hun's words, but then the rumbling sound of the generator starting up instantly broke the tense atmosphere.

Construction was still going on in full swing in the yard a few dozen meters away.

"Fuck, can you please take it easy outside!" Liu Hun couldn't help but roared in anger.
