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

Hunting Tournament, second stage, second day, morning

Liao Yunyun was awakened by a very strange noise. When she woke up, she subconsciously looked at her watch. However, it was only six fifteen in the morning, and eight or nine hours had passed since they went to bed last night.

Considering that it was the first day entering the restricted area, Liao Yunyun and another girl named Xueer were not arranged to be on guard last night.

Twelve people spent the night in a room on the same floor of a Hakka earth building. Liao Yunyun and Xue'er stayed in one of the rooms, and the other slightly larger room was reserved for all the other men. At night, one of the psychics was assigned to keep watch with one of the members of the technical team.

The room that Liao Yunyun and Xue'er live in is more than 20 square meters. It has been simply cleaned before. You can lie down in it by putting a portable sleeping bag in it. However, there is still a damp and musty smell in the air. It was a bit unbearable when you first entered, especially Xue'er who almost vomited. Fortunately, Liao Yunyun applied for many field trips because of this job. The pay for field trips is twice the usual salary. At that time, in order to save money to move out of the dormitory as soon as possible, Liao Yunyun would go out on field trips at least three days a week. She would follow the research teams of other units or suitable seniors to the outer circle or even the wanderer base to conduct various investigations. She was accustomed to sleeping in the wild.

The environment in the boys' room next door was worse, but it was also the easiest to clean in this floor of the earth building. The other rooms were either filled with unrecognizable mutant animal skeletons or excrement from various animals. There was even silt left over from the flood that was ankle-deep.

Before the end of the world, Liao Yunyun was a sleepy person who liked to sleep until noon, but since the world changed dramatically, her work and rest schedule and living habits have also undergone earth-shaking changes. For example, at the base, as long as she didn't work overtime, she would go home, eat and take a shower, and check her mobile phone for messages. She could lie down in bed before nine o'clock, and then get up before six in the morning to start washing clothes and making breakfast. This kind of life was boring and made her feel depressed for a while, but since she went to do research outside the base and found that people outside the base were in dire straits, she felt how lucky she was. If she hadn't met Chen Yanxi, she would not have been able to enter the base, and she would not have found the good job she has now, and she still has no worries about food and clothing.

When I walked into the corridor, I happened to meet a member of the Hunter Association who was just finishing his last night watch and a colleague from the technical team. The two were chatting in low voices. When they saw Liao Yunyun, they were startled. They probably didn't expect Liao Yunyun to get up so early. After all, they had agreed to get up after 8 o'clock and have a simple breakfast at 8:30 before setting off.

"Captain Liu, good morning. I'm going to the bathroom over there. You don't have to follow me." Liao Yunyun pointed to another room in front a little embarrassedly.

It's normal for people to have urgent needs, and seeing that they were only two rooms away, they could rush over immediately if something happened, so he said, "Go ahead, just give me a shout if you need anything."

Liao Yunyun smiled gratefully, then went to a house in front. After opening the door, she was greeted by a strong musty smell. She pinched her nose and carefully stepped over the high threshold.

After closing the door, the whole room was plunged into pitch-black darkness again. It was almost like being blind.

I shone the flashlight around inside and found a mess of tables and furniture scattered on the ground.

Liao Yunyun slowly put down her hand that was pinching her nose, placed the flashlight on one of the fallen tables, so that the light of the flashlight could at least be dispersed a little, and then quickly solved the physiological problem.

When I went out, I found that the earth building was indeed too quiet. I was used to the sounds of insects and birds. At least in the safe zone, I could often hear the howling of some mutant animals. Although the occasional roar of wild beasts was terrible, it was creepy when I couldn't hear any sound of any living creature in the forest.

Liao Yunyun lay on the corridor which was several dozen meters long and looked down. She didn't know whether the position of the sycamore tree below was her illusion or not, but she felt that it seemed to have moved at least ten meters to the left compared to when she arrived yesterday afternoon.

In order to confirm what she was thinking, Liao Yunyun compared the distance between the sycamore tree and the earth building opposite with her hand, and found that there was indeed a difference of one section.

Liao Yunyun felt strange, so she couldn't help but walk forward for a distance. The corridor in front was closer to a branch of the sycamore tree, and there seemed to be something hanging on it.

The closer they got, the more they heard a "crunching" sound. Liao Yunyun found it strange, especially because the sound sounded like the chewing sound made by a mouse.

She approached step by step, but at the same time she held her breath unconsciously. After seeing the scene by the wall, Liao Yunyun felt as if she fell into an ice cellar.

All I saw were corpses hanging on the branches at some point in time. Those corpses had turned into human skins. The black eyes on the skins were staring straight in a certain direction, and their mouths were wide open as if they had experienced something extremely terrifying before they died.

Her mouth opened and just when her throat was about to burst out with a scream, a pair of hands suddenly appeared in her mouth, stopping all her screams.

"Shh!"

When she turned around, she saw Muchen shaking his head with a serious expression on his face, and then he pulled her slowly away from where they had just been. Only after they had retreated more than ten meters did the serious expression on Muchen's face ease a little.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice: "Sister Yunyun, why did you come here alone?"

Liao Yunyun bit her lip tightly and asked with some fear: "What is that?"

Mu Chen frowned and said, "I'm not sure yet, but... I guess it should be some kind of demon species?"

Thinking back to the appearance of the monster he had just seen, it was completely black, and its squatting posture was like a monkey, but it also had some human outlines. The most important thing was that he was just holding a torso that looked like a human and gnawing on it, and on the branches beside him were hanging dried human skin corpses, with a layer of white thin threads wrapped around the outside of those corpses, but they should have been formed not long ago. Yesterday afternoon, because the sycamore tree was not so close to the earth building, they did not notice the corpses hanging on the branches when they came in.

Muchen continued, "Do you remember the hunter teams that mistakenly entered the restricted area during the hunting competition last year? There were more than 30 people that entered, but less than four came out alive. Two of them developed mental illnesses. I saw one of them when I went to the hospital for an interview with Sister Yuan last time. He kept saying the word [corpse Gu] over and over, and no one knew what it meant. Currently, only the guard team can enter the restricted area, but the higher-ups have been keeping this information secret. I'm afraid it won't be so smooth for us to come in this time, but Captain Li was right before. Stay curious, but also restrain yourself and don't run around or touch anything."

Liao Yunyun looked at the location of the monster she had just seen, and said with lingering fear: "We should have tried our best to stop the rest of the team yesterday. If we really die here, wouldn't all the money I earned to buy a house be wasted?"

Mu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only say helplessly: "That was ordered by the director, are you really willing to give up this job? Besides, the reason why we followed in here is more or less out of curiosity about the restricted area."

Liao Yunyun did not refute Muchen's words. Instead, she frowned and asked, "Should we explain what we just saw to Captain Li so that everyone can pay attention."

"Okay, let's go together."

The two of them were walking back and happened to meet Captain Li who had maintained the habit of getting up early for many years.

After briefly explaining what he had just seen, Captain Li hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said to the two men, "I'll go over there. You guys wait a moment."

Captain Li was very fast. The moment he left, he wrapped his whole body in the aura of pressure, making his aura slightly stronger. However, this situation could only last for a short period of time. However, this short period of time was enough to make the mutant beasts below level B feel fearful and would not attack him easily.

Captain Li came back in less than five minutes. His face looked much uglier than before he left, and his steps were hurried when he came back.

"We can't stay here any longer. Go wake everyone up and leave in ten minutes. Let's find an open area before getting up early."

The two nodded at the same time, and Liao Yunyun immediately went back to their room to wake up Xueer, who was still rubbing her eyes in a daze. She was so scared last night and couldn't get used to sleeping here that she didn't fall asleep until around two or three in the morning.

"Sister Yunyun?" Xue'er raised her head in confusion.

"Pack up quickly, we have to leave here immediately." Liao Yunyun instructed with a serious look.

Ten minutes later, just as the group walked to the bottom of the earth building, they heard a sharp roar from the sycamore tree, which seemed to be filled with anger.

''Bang!"

Then one object after another fell from under the sycamore tree.

When the thing hit the ground, it broke into pieces. A round object rolled right at Xue'er's feet. When she looked closely, she saw it was a shriveled head without eyeballs.

Xue'er was about to scream, but Liao Yunyun covered her mouth. Seeing Xue'er's tears oozing out of fear, she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't make any sound, let's go!"

The group looked up in horror and saw a vague black shadow above them, with white silk threads constantly spitting out of its mouth, accompanied by bursts of "rustling" sounds.

After everyone left the earth building, they heard another very loud noise. No one dared to look back, but Liao Yunyun couldn't help but glance back out of curiosity. She seemed to see vaguely a black arrow-like object flying through the air, and then a series of shrill sounds rang out in the earth building.

At this time, in another direction from the bottom of the earth building, Gu Tongwan, who had returned to the earth building again, held a compound bow in his hand, pressed his thumb hard against the bowstring, and looked with cold eyes at the monster that was still hiding on the trunk of the paulownia tree after being shot.
