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

Zhang Tao, who had been rolling on the ground, had obviously lost his composure. Perhaps he was still in shock that Yan Fan was a superpower. Therefore, after falling to the ground, he did not react. The most important thing he should have done at this time was to stand up immediately, but he rolled on the ground for a few rounds, which increased his contact area with the ground.

It is eleven o'clock in the morning now, but the sun rises at six o'clock every morning, and the temperature at seven in the morning can reach an astonishing fifty-three degrees. By now, when it is close to eleven o'clock, the temperature is close to fifty-five degrees. If it continues like this, the temperature will continue to rise before three o'clock in the afternoon.

Part of the area under the labor market office building was under construction last month. In order to save trouble, the concrete floor here was directly poured into asphalt. Normally, people try to avoid this place when they want to cool off. After all, places with asphalt will emit more heat.

As a result, Zhang Tao fell directly on it, with one palm pressing on the asphalt bottom plate, which immediately made a "sizzling" sound, accompanied by a more intense scream. Zhang Tao was seen raising his palm, which instantly formed a layer of blood blisters. The others were immediately scared and pushed to the cooler place at the bottom of the building.

"It seems that the temperature today is abnormal." Someone couldn't help but mutter.

Another person frowned and shouted anxiously to the others: "Do you want to go over and help him?"

As a result, everyone just looked at each other, and no one planned to help. It was Zhang Tao's fault for being arrogant and domineering, and for his bad mouth and his love for stealing other people's jobs. Some people felt that he deserved this outcome.

Finally, the honest uncle couldn't bear it anymore, so he went over and helped Zhang Tao back to the shade. It was only a short distance of five or six meters, but the uncle immediately felt a burning sensation on his back as he didn't have time to put on sun protection.

I couldn't help but mutter: "This sun is so poisonous!"

Zhang Tao's left palm was already covered with blisters. If it had been any later, the entire flesh would have been stuck to the ground. As his right hand had been frozen, the blood had just started to circulate, so he only felt numb for a while.

However, as soon as he walked over, he met Yan Fan's cold eyes. Zhang Tao lowered his head immediately and dared not look at Yan Fan again.

Yan Fan did not intend to continue to pester them. Originally, he did not want to expose his special abilities, but in the situation just now, if he did not take action, he would be the only one to get hurt. However, since his identity as a special ability user had been exposed, he planned to find a job somewhere else, or at a different time. After all, he was more worried that Yang Feng and others would find him. After all, the names of Yang Feng and Brother Zhao were not among the special ability users who had been killed as reported by the news media.

***

As soon as Gu Tongwan parked the car and stepped into the trading center hall, the stuffy feeling that hit him was completely different from the feeling of enjoying the fresh air in the car just now.

I glanced at the time on my watch. It was eleven fifteen, which was still working hours. However, the trading center hall, which was usually crowded with people, was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Originally, during the busiest time, twelve windows were open at the same time, but at this moment, only one window was occupied. The staff was even so bored that he was yawning, crossing his legs, and looked drowsy.

Gu Tongwan was holding a black plastic bag in his hand, which contained two strips of bacon, some compressed biscuits, and some "expired" sausages that he had taken out from the space before.

"Hello, I want to appraise the goods." Gu Tongwan knocked on the window and saw the staff member open his eyelids and glance at her lazily.

Coincidentally, this staff member was the woman who had appraised her goods for the first time at the trading center when she first entered the base a few months ago.

The woman was indeed the staff member who had received Gu Tongwan, but Gu Tongwan was wearing a mask and sunglasses at the time, so he didn't recognize her at the moment.

As the temperature gradually rises during this period, the base has been promoting online working from home to reduce the time of outdoor work, so many municipal units have already been on holiday. However, because the trading center is a special unit, it needs to conduct transaction valuations every day. Even if no one comes, it has to trade with some large companies. Therefore, two clerks must be assigned every day, one for front-desk transactions and one for valuations. Two guards are also required to perform security work.

The woman was a little surprised that someone would go out in this weather, so she straightened her posture and said indifferently: "What do you want to trade? Take out the goods first."

Gu Tongwan handed the whole bag over, and the woman immediately smelled the aroma of spices, a smell she hadn't smelled for a long time. The woman was not from Jiangcheng, but from Nanchuan Province, where they often used Sichuan peppercorns and Sichuan pepper powder to make various spicy, salty and fragrant sausages and bacon. So she was very familiar with this smell, but due to the shortage of supplies after the apocalypse, spices became a luxury. She herself had tried to make bacon with mutant meat several times, but the taste was far from the same, and it could even be said to have a weird smell.

The sudden smell of this familiar scent made her quicken her movements. After opening the bag, she saw the bacon and sausages she had been longing for.

"How did you do that?"

The woman lowered her head and smelled it carefully. It was indeed a strong aroma of peppercorns. Although it had not been cooked yet, she couldn't help but drooling in her mouth.

The quality of this bacon is also of high quality, with fat and lean parts mixed together and the meat is covered with a layer of oil. Even from a distance, you can smell the aroma of spices such as peppercorns.

This kind of bacon can be boiled slightly to remove the saltiness, then cut into thin slices and stir-fried with chili peppers or garlic sprouts. It couldn't be more delicious.

She has been working in the trading center for a year and a half. During this period, she has been exposed to different trading goods every day, ranging from the most common fruits and rice to expensive crystal cores, but she has never felt as surprised as when she saw the delicacies from her hometown.

"I made it myself with mutant pork." Gu Tongwan said with a smile, and asked another question, "Take a look and see how many points you can redeem. Pork has not been sold recently, so the price should be higher than before, right?"

"It must be higher. In the past, bacon was 30 points per pound. Now, let alone bacon, even meat is no longer available. Even if you can buy it, the price is ridiculous. I see that the quality of your meat is very good, and it can be sold for at least 60 or 70 points per pound. Do you have 6 or 7 pounds here? Is that all?"

The woman answered but her eyes never left the bag. She found some canned meat and compressed biscuits with torn labels inside. She didn't know if the canned meat was spoiled, but the compressed biscuits should be fine. As long as they didn't get moldy or spoiled, they could be stored for many years.

Gu Tongwan still has more than 200 kilograms of such bacon in his space, all of which he bought during the free shopping period. This time he took four pieces of bacon, weighing a total of about 6 or 7 kilograms. One reason was that he wanted to keep the bacon for himself, and the other was that it would seem abnormal to take too much at one time.

"I still have some for myself at home. These are made from the mutant meat left in the refrigerator. The strong sun during this period is suitable for making bacon. However, I can't buy meat at this stage, so I don't have much. I thought of exchanging some points to save them for buying other things later."

The woman felt a little disappointed after hearing this, because she had originally wanted to buy some if there were more.

"Let me give you an estimate first. I don't know if the canned food is spoiled or not, so I can only calculate it based on the price of canned meat before the end of the world. Is that okay with you?" the woman asked.

Gu Tongwan thought about it. These canned meats were actually pure beef cans, and they were imported. The price was not low. She had eaten them once before. There was nothing wrong with them except that they were a little salty. If they were seasoned with the mutated canned meats before the extreme heat, they would only be 15 points each. In the end, she was still losing money.

After making some mental calculations, she took the canned meat back. There were five cans of meat in total. She originally thought that she could sell them for at least two or three hundred points. But now thinking about the hot weather, the trading center probably wouldn't want to take the risk of accepting something that she didn't know if it had gone bad, so she might as well keep it for herself.

In the end, I bought six and a half kilograms of bacon and five kilograms of sausage for a total of nearly eight hundred points, and sold the compressed biscuits for two hundred points. Even if the income from this trip was small, I made a thousand points, which at least covered the water, electricity and internet fees for this month.

At this time, there are not many things displayed in the product area of ​​the trading center. Basically, there are some high-temperature potatoes and fine rice noodles, but the prices are twice as high as before.

In the middle, there is an air conditioner and a battery fan covered by a glass cover. The battery, which originally cost more than 2,000 points, now costs more than 5,000 points. The one-horsepower air conditioner in the middle is also priced at 22,000 yuan. Even those who are slightly wealthy in the inner circle would back off at this price. After all, the air conditioner is second-hand, and no one knows how long it can be used. Once there is a problem, it is unknown how long it will take to repair it when contacting after-sales service.

Gu Tongwan was really amazed. No wonder Zheng Fan was jealous of his own repair shop. If he could really control the two channels of after-sales and air-conditioning spare parts, he could at least make a fortune during the extremely hot weather.

Originally, household appliances were considered luxury items in the base. The price of this air conditioner is almost as high as that of a single apartment of more than ten square meters in the outer circle. Even at such a price, many people are still flocking to it, fearing that they will not be able to buy it.

Perhaps because he saw her staring at him in a trance, the staff member came out from behind the glass window and said helplessly, "This has been reserved this morning, so if you want to buy it, you'll have to wait a while. There are too many people buying air conditioners recently, and the same goes for fans."

Gu Tongwan nodded, looked around the hall, and suddenly discovered something.

This is a household vacuum cleaner. It seems to have been here for some time and is covered with a layer of dust.

The price tag above is over 4,000, which is not cheap, but it is a very reasonable price compared to air conditioners.

"Ah, this vacuum cleaner is on sale right now. If you like it, you can get an 18% discount right away, and it also comes with a robot vacuum cleaner."

There was also a white mini sweeping robot next to the vacuum cleaner, which cost around twelve thousand yuan.

"Are there any slightly larger sweeping robots? I want to change to a bigger one." Gu Sheng turned and asked the staff.

The staff immediately said in embarrassment: "It's not that there are no small ones, but the price difference between the big one and the small one is quite large. It's unlikely that you can exchange them."

"I think I can just pay the difference. You don't need to give me a discount for this vacuum cleaner. Just pay the difference. If I need to change to a larger robot vacuum cleaner, you can just see how many points I need in total."

Seeing Gu Tongwan so straightforward, the staff immediately took out the computer and clicked on it for a while, and finally said: "A large sweeping robot and a vacuum cleaner will cost a total of 5,300 points."

Gu Tongwan thought that this was a lot of expenses, but when she thought about the dog hair flying everywhere when Aoao and Tutu were playing at home, and she herself had some mild rhinitis, she couldn't stand it. She had wanted to buy a vacuum cleaner for a long time, but when she browsed the second-hand market on Tieba, she found that some vacuum cleaners sold privately had been priced at more than 3,000 points, and there was no after-sales service and knife-cutting was not allowed. If this was the case, it would be better to buy it directly at the trading center, at least there would be a one-year warranty.

The staff took her to see a larger sweeper, which came in black and white. It was indeed larger than the one just given to her and looked to be of better quality.

After picking out a white one, I readily swiped my points card. After deducting the items I just sold, I earned more than 4,000 points.

There are currently more than 40,000 points remaining on the card, and it seems a bit difficult to buy real estate in the underground city with this amount of money in the future.

However, she felt excited at the thought of the black market reopening tonight. After all, in such extreme weather, the fresh fruits and vegetables in her space should have no trouble selling.

When she returned to the yard, the two dogs in the house did not pounce on her immediately. Instead, they lay listlessly on the ground. When they heard her movement, they raised their heads and walked over, rubbing their heads against the back of her hand obediently.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" Gu Tongwan rubbed his concave head and suddenly found that the temperature on the second floor was much higher than usual.

No, to be precise, it's because the temperature outside is gradually rising, and it's noon now. Although the temperature in the courtyard has been set to 18 degrees, the actual indoor temperature is still 42 or 43 degrees.

Although Aoao and Tutu can use their supernatural powers to regulate the temperature of their bodies, they do not have ice-related supernatural powers after all. If they use their supernatural powers for a long time, it will more or less consume their own mental strength. Therefore, for now, they can only lie in the shade as much as possible to rest more and reduce the time of activity.

The reason why she didn't let the two dogs enter the space was that she hoped they could adapt to such extremely hot weather as soon as possible, because no one knew what kind of accidents would occur in the future.
