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

Chapter 232: You can have good intentions but you can’t be a saint

It was already four o'clock in the morning when Gu Tongwan returned to the base. She was exhausted after the whole night's tossing and turning. She put the little girl down after the car entered the inner circle of the base. She didn't dare put her down in the outer circle because the order in the outer circle was chaotic and she was worried that the little girl would be in danger in the middle of the night.

Although she can be kind to things in this world or people around her, she does not want to be a saint who is overflowing with mercy.

Before getting off the bus, the little girl suddenly bent down and bowed toward the outside of the bus, and then murmured softly.

"Thank you, sister."

Gu Tongwan was a little surprised. She was not mistaken. The lip language she used was indeed "sister".

Before the car drove away, Gu Tongwan rolled down the window and asked, "When did you find out?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment before she whispered, "You knew it when you gave me the candy. In addition to my shadow ability, I also have another not-so-useful ability, which is that I can tell the gender of all living things by intuition."

When Gu Tongwan handed her the candy, she subconsciously activated her sensory perception ability and was willing to take the candy only after she realized that the other person was a girl.

This ability cannot be said to be very powerful, but it has allowed her to immediately sense several evil people with bad intentions who deliberately disguised themselves as women in the apocalypse, and she has also avoided several unexpected disasters.

"Does it include plants and insects?"

She had never heard of this special ability, so she was quite curious about it.

The little girl nodded, but then gave a bitter smile, "But my special ability is pretty useless, so I can't help you."

Seeing her disappointed look, Gu Tongwan said softly, "It's just useless now, maybe it will come in handy someday, and I think every ability has its own reason, don't be too sad, you have to think like this, currently in the world's population, the proportion of people with known abilities is only one in ten thousand, and the probability of activating abilities is less than five percent, even if someone has abilities at the beginning, if they can't control them properly after the end of the world, their abilities will gradually disappear, I see you've kept your ability for a while, so do you still think you're useless?"

The little girl said nothing, but bit her lip as if she was lost in thought.

"Well, if you want to survive in the base in the future, you have to rely on yourself. Since you don't have an ID tag, it's best to find a part-time job. There is no law protecting minors in the base, and there is no such thing as child labor. You can try your luck and see if there is a job that suits you."

Looking at the car that was spewing black smoke and gradually disappearing under the street light, the little girl bit her lip and gathered her clothes. No matter what, she successfully got rid of the group of human traffickers, and she must try her best to survive for the rest of her life.

When Gu Tongwan returned to the guesthouse, he deliberately took off his previous clothes and changed his car to the SUV he had driven out before. Then he called Xiaoli to come down and open the door.

Xiaoli's slippers were dragging on the ground, making a rustling sound. She was rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawning. It was obvious that she was woken up in the middle of a sleep.

"Why are you back so late? Doesn't the black market break up around one o'clock?"

"There was a problem with the car on the road." Gu Tongwan smiled and changed the subject.

Xiaoli's mind was not very clear at this time. She nodded casually, let the car drive into the yard, and then continued to walk out.

The two dogs, who had just returned to the room feeling empty and lonely after a whole day, immediately pounced on him. Just as they were about to bark, Gu Tongwan stretched out a finger to stop them from howling.

Then he gave the two dogs a good pat on the head as if to comfort them.

The delicate Tutu smelled the remaining blood on her body, and immediately bared his teeth, with his pupils instantly turning blue.

Upon seeing this, Gu Tongwan immediately whispered, "Tutu is fine, that thing is dead." It must be because the smell of the demon on his body was too obvious. As a mutant beast, Tutu was very sensitive to this kind of smell.

After a simple wash, Gu Tongwan lay down on the bed, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he could think of the light pink crystal core taken out from the left chest of the demon species.

If the number of demon species is very rare, the crystal core in their bodies is becoming more and more precious. I heard from the proprietress before that an extremely precious S-level crystal core was once transported from the Kyoto base. It was said that it was used for scientific research at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It seemed that it was a special crystal core found in some mutant plant.

Unfortunately, there were no plants in the empty city at the time, and even the mutated animals we encountered rarely had crystal cores in their bodies.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a sense of regret for "missing out on 100 million."

However, the total points earned on the points card tonight, including the sales of goods and the auction of the golden python skin, are about 100,000 points. I can go to the land center early tomorrow morning to negotiate the land purchase with Yu Liang.

Because he came back too late yesterday, Gu Tongwan slept until noon. When he woke up, the time on his cell phone showed 11:30 in the morning.

Thinking of taking a break at the land center at noon, he simply had a leisurely breakfast and lunch, and then went back to the house to prepare the goods to be sold on the last day of the black market tonight.

She originally didn't plan to go to the black market tonight. After all, she had experienced so many things last night. She was afraid that the current black market inspection would be even more severe. But then she thought, crisis is business opportunity, and she might be able to make a lot of money tonight.

After changing into a loose white cotton and linen home clothes, she went downstairs and saw a familiar figure standing in front of Xiaoli, who seemed to be telling her something.

Seeing Gu Tongwan coming down, Xiaoli stopped talking and said to Gu Tongwan, "Wait another ten minutes, Auntie is preparing lunch."

Gu Tongwan glanced at the kitchen and nodded in understanding.

Although she was not very interested in the lunch here, she had paid for the food after all. If she did not eat here for the whole day, it would arouse suspicion. Besides, the food here was not bad except that it had no taste. It was just suitable for filling the stomach.

At this time, Xiaoli pulled the girl in front of her and asked her to stand in front of Gu Tongwan. She smiled and said, "Wanwan, let me introduce you. This is the new girl in our guesthouse. She will be staying here temporarily for a while. She will be in charge of reception and help me."

"Okay, introduce yourself." Xiaoli looked at the little girl with a smile again.

The little girl had two pigtails and raised her eyes timidly, saying softly, "Hello, sister. My name is Lan Qin and I am twelve years old."

Gu Tongwan narrowed his eyes at that moment.

Isn't this a coincidence? This Lan Qin is actually the little girl who just said goodbye to me last night.
