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

Gu Tongwan had to admit that it was quite interesting to browse the base forum when he was bored. At least in this non-daily life with no TV series or movies, browsing the posts or reading the comments of people on different floors in the posts was also a kind of fun.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew outside, and even the billboards of the shops along the street made rustling sounds. The few pieces of iron sheets that the proprietress had specially put up in the yard were also rustled by the strong wind, and people even thought that they would be blown away by the strong wind.

Because of power outages, the guesthouse gives tenants a small candle every day, which can only last about two hours. This is probably because they are worried about the danger of fire after the tenants fall asleep.

Many people in the floor where she replied already knew that she had a batch of insecticides to sell. Some complained, some asked for prices, some tried every means to trick her into getting the goods from the supplier, and some even shouted at her to produce the purchase order.

The person named [Yuzu Tea] who replied to her in the post also sent her a private message wanting to add her as a friend.

Gu Tongwan thought that he had originally intended to sell the batch of homemade insecticides in his hands. There were quite a few insect repellent herbs in the warehouse anyway. The insecticidal effect of the potion after it was made was not even worse than the insecticides that were limited in purchase by shops for exterminating the four pests. It would be better to lower the price a little. A barrel was about 200 liters, and at ml per bottle, each bottle was points, and one barrel could earn points. No matter how you think about it, it was a case of small profits but quick turnover. Besides, he had picked so many mosquito repellent herbs in the back mountain that they could even be piled up for several square meters. It was a waste to keep these herbs in the warehouse. This time, it happened to be a plague of insects, so he could consume some of them and make money at the same time. It was a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

[Yuzu Tea] quickly added herself as a friend. Looking at the profile picture, it was a girl’s profile picture against the light of a car. It should be a girl, but it could also be a shabby guy who stole someone else’s profile picture. However, she was just doing business with the other party and didn’t care whether it was a man or a woman.

Gu Tongwan's name has been changed to "There are two dogs at home who have to eat dirt" since last month.

[Yuzu Tea] Hello, I am Yuzu Tea. In a previous post you said that you had a batch of homemade insecticides purchased on the black market. I want to know, are they really effective?

[There are two dogs at home who need to eat dirt] How about this, after the insect plague is over tomorrow morning, you can meet at the address 2-23 in the inner circle. I can give you milliliters to use first. If you think it is really effective, you can introduce it to your friends or colleagues around you.

【Grapefruit Tea】Really? If so, thank you so much. Let's contact each other tomorrow afternoon. After all, we don't know when the insect plague outside will end.

After putting down his phone, Gu Tongwan stopped reading the forum information and went to the system space to take inventory of the related insect control products.

There are about 120 bottles of expired pesticides in the warehouse, but Gu Tongwan only plans to sell about half of them. The price can be a little higher. After all, each bottle is quite large, and can be sold for 200 points. As for why he wants to sell them, it is mainly because half of them are enough. After this insect disaster, the production of products to kill the four pests will probably be increased, and there is no need to worry about not being able to buy pesticides in the next few years.

And for now, she really needs some money to pay off the remaining tens of thousands of installments, so that she doesn't have to worry about how many points she needs to repay every month in the future.

The temperature at night was obviously hotter than in the morning. Gu Tongwan felt something was wrong, so he quickly took out an outdoor thermometer and stuck it on the wall. After a few minutes, he checked and the thermometer showed that the indoor temperature had reached 25 degrees.

She still remembered that the official radio station of the base had reported the recent temperature a few days ago. The highest temperature during the day in the base usually did not exceed 25 degrees, and the highest temperature at night was maintained at around 20 degrees. However, this year it was obvious that the indoor temperature was gradually rising. In addition, in order to prevent the second wave of locust plague tomorrow, the doors and windows were now closed, and the stuffiness in the room became more and more obvious.

Even the group that Xiaoli had created for convenience, which mainly consisted of Gu Tongwan, some young ladies she met nearby, and Lan Qin, only had seven people in it.

[Lili] Is the weather wrong, or is it because the windows are closed? Why do I feel so hot?

[Little Orchid] My room is also very hot. It should be because the temperature has risen. I slept with the doors and windows closed last night, but it was not as hot as today.

[Big White Teeth] Speaking of this, it reminds me of something. My brother's girlfriend works at the Meteorological Bureau. She told me that the temperature might rise in the near future, so those powerful and wealthy people who received the news in advance would rush to buy air conditioners.

[The Little Witch of the Ulanara Family] No wonder, I was wondering why so many people were running to the inner circle this morning, and when they came back they were complaining that all the air conditioners were sold out. It turned out that they were going to buy refrigeration equipment.

[Lili] Extreme heat isn't really coming, is it? It's terrible. The guesthouse hasn't had time to buy air conditioners yet. There are only two in the warehouse. They were second-hand when we bought them. We haven't used them for the past two years. I don't know if there's any refrigerant in them. My aunt spent more than 100 points to buy them three years ago.

[Big White Teeth] Forget air conditioning. I don't even have a fan at home. A second-hand fan was reduced in price before, and it only costs more than 300 points. My mother thought it was useless and didn't let me buy it. If the temperature continues to rise, I don't know how I will sleep at night.

[Little Orchid] I do have a fan, but if there is a power cut, won’t it still be hot at night?

[The Little Witch of the Ulanara Clan] I'm going crazy. I live in the outer circle. What's your temperature now? My indoor temperature is showing as 27 degrees. Does this mean that by tomorrow morning, the outdoor temperature will be at least 30 degrees?

[Big White Teeth] It's okay here. I just checked and the indoor temperature in the circle is 24 degrees. It's a bit stuffy, but bearable.

Among them, [Big White Teeth] and [Little Orchid] have better family conditions, and both of them live in resettlement communities in the inner circle, similar to the "Happy Community" where Zhang Youfan's family lives. They are resettlement houses that were purchased later through connections. Now it seems that the outer circle is more affected.

Gu Tongwan guessed that maybe it was because there were green plants in the inner circle, which could reduce the sultry weather a little to a certain extent, but if the temperature continued to rise, the temperature of the inner circle would be consistent with that of the outer circle within a few days.

Gu Tongwan simply took out an outdoor mobile power bank and then an oscillating electric fan. When the wind at the second speed blew slowly into the room, he felt much more comfortable.

The group is still discussing about the temperature and tomorrow's insect plague. Probably because of the hot and humid weather and the power cuts, everyone is unable to sleep due to the bad weather and can only complain on their phones to vent their frustration.

Gu Tongwan casually browsed his phone for a while, then put on headphones and watched two episodes of a TV series. At about eleven o'clock, he fell asleep in a daze.

I got up at around seven o'clock the next morning, and the first thing I did was to check the bathroom. After opening the blocked wooden board, I found no trace of cockroaches in the squat toilet. It was probably because the room was filled with the scent of mutant beasts, and the cockroaches, which were sensitive to the smell, didn't dare to approach at all.

I had a simple breakfast in the room, and when I went downstairs, I saw Xiaoli with two panda eyes, who rarely got up early.

But it was always the same. Today the guesthouse was not open at all, so she had to get up at eight o'clock. But because her biological clock had been fixed, she could only get up and eat something and wait for the second wave of locusts to attack at ten o'clock.

Compared to Xiaoli, Lan Qin was much more normal. After all, she had been wandering outside the base for several years and had long been accustomed to the changes in weather. She had lived in even more difficult environments. It was just a little hot last night, which was nothing unbearable for her.

"What's wrong with her?" Gu Tongwan saw Xiaoli walking down the stairs listlessly, and her whole body seemed to be wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

Lan Qin smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoli stayed up late last night because the weather was too hot. I think she didn't fall asleep until almost four this morning."

"It's hard for her. Usually she goes to bed at 10:30 and gets up at 7 in the morning. Now she has only slept for less than four hours. No wonder she looks so listless." Gu Tongwan could only smile and then asked Lan Qin, "It was so hot last night, did you fall asleep?"

"Yeah, I fell asleep. I'm used to this kind of weather. But I wiped one side of the mat with a towel dipped in water in advance, so it will be a little easier to sleep." After noticing the temperature rising last night, Lan Qin replaced the mattress with a cool mat and wiped it again with a wet towel to achieve the effect of cooling down.

Gu Tongwan did the same thing when there was no air conditioning at home. As long as there was a cool mat or a bamboo mat and it was wiped with a towel dipped in water, it could reduce the temperature appropriately. If it really didn't work, placing one or two basins of water near the bed could also reduce the high temperature in the room.

Of course, this cooling effect won’t be too obvious physically, but it’s at least better than doing nothing.

The proprietress and Uncle Zhang were busy checking whether the kitchen and the doors and windows were sealed properly, as they were worried that when the locust plague came, there would be gaps that would allow insects to get in.

The electricity came on at 7:30 in the morning. The ceiling fan was on in the restaurant on the first floor. Xiaoli was pestering the boss's wife to go to the warehouse to find an electric fan. She remembered that in the early days of the business, a good friend of the boss's wife gave her a small rechargeable fan that could be used for about an hour at a time, but because the temperature in the base at the back was always very cool, it was not used.

The lady boss held a small fan she made herself in her hand, and as she fanned herself she frowned and said, "It should be in the warehouse, but it's so dark in there, how can you find it by yourself?"

"We have to find it. I'll ask Lan Qin to help me. If I can't find the fan, I'll have sleepless nights again. You don't know how hot it is at night."

Finally the boss couldn't win over Xiaoli and had to give all the items in the warehouse to her.

As a result, before Xiaoli opened the door of the warehouse, she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from outside.

The sound was different from the previous locust plague. When the locust plague came, it was the sound of flapping wings, but this time it was obvious that in addition to the sound of flapping wings, the sound of rapid crawling was more obvious.

"Wait a minute, don't open the door yet. The sound isn't just coming from outside, it seems to be coming from inside the warehouse as well."

Gu Tongwan promptly grabbed Xiaoli's hand which was about to insert into the keyhole, and then signaled everyone to focus their attention inside the warehouse.

At this time, I really heard the "rustling" sound coming from the warehouse.

"It seems like it really came from inside!" Lan Qin couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth and backing away.

At this moment, several large cockroaches were seen crawling out from the gap in the warehouse.

"Ah, cockroaches!" Xiaoli jumped up in fright, and then was horrified to find that there were not just a few, but even more cockroaches crawling out from the gap continuously.

"How could there be a cockroach?" Xiaoli looked at the crack in the door in horror.

"Perhaps the warehouse is not completely sealed, or perhaps cockroaches or rats chewed through the ventilation ducts to get in. As long as it is not a completely enclosed space, creatures like cockroaches can basically get into any hole."

Like Lan Qin, Xiaoli is most afraid of large cockroaches with wings. They are not so afraid of mice and the like. However, the black-shelled cockroaches that may fly onto people can make their scalps tingle.

Seeing them stunned, Gu Tongwan was busy using a broom next to him to push the cockroaches back, while raising his voice and saying, "What are you still looking at? Xiaoli, go upstairs and get the insecticide. Lanqin, find some iron sheets. I remember there were still a few in the kitchen last time. Oh, bring a few stools. I need stools to fix the iron sheets.

Xiaoli came to her senses and immediately ran upstairs. There was still half a bottle of insecticide in her room.

Lan Qin also hurried to the kitchen to move a few pieces of iron sheets from behind the door.

Gu Tongwan skillfully placed the iron sheets at the gaps and asked Lan Qin to hold one side. He waited until Xiaoli came down, then he aimed the insecticide spray at the gaps and sprayed it several times. This frightened the big cockroaches that kept coming out.

Then a few stools were placed against the iron sheet to stop the cockroaches from moving forward to a certain extent.

Xiaoli used up the bottle of insecticide in her hand very quickly. After only a dozen sprays, the bottle was empty, so she could only throw it aside in frustration.

Seeing this, Gu Tongwan said, "I still have insecticide in my room. I'll go get it."

After she returned to the room, she sensed that Aoao and Tutu, who had the aura of other mutant creatures, were constantly circling around her.

She took out several bottles of insecticide from before the end of the world from the space, and also took out two bottles of insecticide that she made herself using herbs.

In fact, if possible, it is best to directly stuff oleander leaves into the gaps, because cockroaches hate the smell of oleander and will subconsciously run away after smelling this smell. But if you rashly take out fresh oleander, this is more suspicious than taking out pesticides. After all, there are channels to purchase pesticides, but nowadays, only people with special identities in the circle can get plants that have not mutated.

As soon as I went downstairs, I heard the proprietress shouting, "Uncle Zhang, be careful, you'll be bitten by these cockroaches. Damn it, this time it's not just a locust plague, there's also a cockroach tide!"
