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

After chatting with Xiaoli for a while, Liao Yunyun suddenly called when she went upstairs again. It turned out that Liao Yunyun saw that Gu Tongwan had not replied to the message, so she called specially. After knowing that she just slept, she was relieved, but then she was a little annoyed and said: "This time our team sacrificed a captain Li, and a junior leader died. The other two team members were also injured to varying degrees. The loss is quite serious. Although the captain said that everyone will be rewarded and compensated accordingly after returning, I feel very uncomfortable, especially since Captain Li's child is only a few years old, and his wife seems to be a nurse. If he hadn't sacrificed to protect us, he wouldn't have sacrificed himself."

Liao Yunyun's tone was very depressed, and she was obviously still feeling guilty about Captain Li's sacrifice.

Gu Tongwan thought about it and could only comfort him: "Since Captain Li sacrificed himself to protect you, I think he was mentally prepared to sacrifice himself. The only thing you can do now is to negotiate with the leaders of the station to see if you can hold a memorial service for Captain Li and get the corresponding compensation. Even though the deceased has passed away, the living still have to continue living."

In fact, Liao Yunyun didn't go to Gu Tongwan to comfort herself, but maybe she would feel better if she said it out loud.

Then they talked about Liao Yunyun's newly bought small apartment. After knowing that it was about to be delivered, Liao Yunyun wanted to buy some second-hand furniture. Gu Tongwan thought of the father and son who had ordered furniture from him before, so the two of them made an appointment to go for a walk in the outer circle pedestrian street tomorrow afternoon and customize some furniture and supplies by the way.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Tongwan smiled rarely, and there was a warm place in his heart. After all, after coming to the base, although he had close contacts with Xiaoli and the Zhang family, it was still not as good as the friendship with Liao Yunyun, as they grew up together.

When I returned to the room, I remembered that I hadn't replied to Chen Yanxi yet. However, we haven't seen each other for many years, and we are all adults now. It is impossible for us to have contact without a sense of gender boundaries like when we were children, and we can't speak freely like I can with Liao Yunyun. Therefore, I really don't know how to get along with Chen Yanxi for the time being.

I really couldn't think of what message to send to Chen Yanxi, so I could only tell Chen Yanxi that I would be going to order second-hand furniture with Liao Yunyun tomorrow. As a result, Chen Yanxi replied with a voice message that was only five seconds long.

"I'll pick you up after you finish shopping with her." The smiling voice was still very low, but it was like a hook that could make people's hearts tremble.

Gu Tongwan is not a person who is after men. In fact, because the timing of their meeting that day was so dramatic, even now she still doesn’t know what Chen Yanxi looks like under the mask.

Then, she discovered that her secondary account actually had the contact information of Chen Yanxi, the mysterious man who she thought was a big boss on the black market and who had ordered braised meat from her crazily.

However, Chen Yanxi probably doesn't know yet that he is the boss disguised in the black market.

Even though he was an older brother who had taken good care of her since she was a child, Gu Tongwan felt that she should not bring up the matter before her identity was exposed. After all, after all these years of separation, no one could read people's minds. Even people who were kind in the past, could they really keep their original intentions in this doomsday?

Sliding his finger across the screen, Gu Tongwan simply replied with an "OK".

The next morning, Gu Tongwan drove out. Liao Yunyun still lived in the unit dormitory. She thought that the treatment at the base TV station would be better, but she didn't expect that the treatment outside the establishment was still in the outer circle. In the outer circle, there was a place similar to the suburbs, where there were four- or five-story dormitory buildings. It was said that in addition to the TV station dormitories, there were also dormitories of five or six units such as the power plant and the water plant. The entire dormitory area had about several thousand acres of land and dozens of buildings.

However, the planning here is not as reasonable as the "Happy Community" where Zhang Youfan lives. There are basically no green plants in the outer circle. Looking at the windy and sandy suburbs, the outer wall is dilapidated, and even the guard on duty is dozing off listlessly. When she drove the car in, the guard shuddered and looked at her with suspicion and astonishment.

Today is not the weekend, so at this time many people are riding bicycles or rushing out the door quickly. Inside are employees who are going out to work. When they pass by Gu Tongwan's car, they can't help but take a few more glances. After all, in the apocalypse, only rich people can afford such off-road vehicles, and such cars are basically rare in the outer circle.

Liao Yunyun was wearing a faded denim shirt and loose wide-leg pants. Although the clothes were not new, they were clean and tidy. She carried a canvas bag that looked handmade. When she saw Gu Tongwan driving the car, she couldn't close her mouth. It was not until she got in the car that she sighed, "Wanwan, you are so promising. I didn't expect you could get a car in this apocalypse."

"I got this by chance when I was wandering outside the base. I'll just consider it my luck." Gu Tongwan answered with a smile, not intending to explain the reason in detail.

On the way, Liao Yunyun talked about a series of things that happened to her after the natural disaster. She also mentioned that fortunately she met Chen Yanxi who was going to Jiangcheng for a mission just after she was transferred to the Jiangcheng rescue center. Only then did she know in advance that Jiangcheng was going to establish a base. So, under Chen Yanxi's arrangement, she successfully built the base and was also introduced to the current TV station.

"Hey, I owe Chen Yanxi too much, but unfortunately she doesn't want me to marry her, so..." She looked at Gu Tongwan half-jokingly. "How about you, sister, compromise for me?"

"Yunyun, seeing you like this, I feel relieved." Gu Tongwan pulled the corner of his mouth, his face full of speechless expression.

Liao Yunyun asked: "Why do I feel like you are teasing me?"

"I'm just teasing you. You're still the same way, always trying to trick your friends and have a very rich imagination."

"You look down on Chen Yanxi? Although he was wearing a mask that day, it's not like you hadn't seen him when you were a child. He grew up together and his face was very handsome. It's a pity that there is absolutely no spark between him and me, otherwise I would have taken action."

"Then will there be any sparks between him and me? And what are you thinking? Compared to men, you should take care of yourself first and think about how to improve your living standards after you survive and how to prevent various natural disasters in the future."

Liao Yunyun shrugged her shoulders and said, "Okay, I didn't expect you to be such a career-oriented woman."

Gu Tongwan shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, you should think about what furniture you want to buy later. Since you are planning to move, you should buy it all at once to save the trouble of running back and forth later."

The two chatted on the way and arrived at the outer circle commercial street in less than twenty minutes. At around nine o'clock in the morning, it was deserted here, with almost no people. Even 80% of the shops were still closed, but fortunately, the store that Gu Tongwan went to happened to be open.

Gu Tongwan went over and asked, "Hello, I'm the Miss Gu who contacted you last night. I'm here to pick up the goods."

When the man saw the pair of watery eyes, he immediately remembered that it was the girl who had placed a large order with them some time ago. He immediately smiled and nodded, "Miss Gu, come in and sit down quickly. You have to get everything ready."
