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

At 7:40 in the evening, the disguised Gu Tongwan drove his own pickup truck directly. Fortunately, the pickup truck had been parked in the yard and covered with several layers of heat insulation covers. However, it took more than ten minutes just to turn on the air conditioner to dissipate heat.

The two dogs are still left at home to guard the house. After all, the room cannot be left empty. It would be terrible if someone robbed the house. The most important thing is that it would be too eye-catching to bring the two dogs with him. Now a small number of people in the inner circle already know that he has two mutant dogs. If he takes them out again, it would be equivalent to automatically revealing his identity.

Wearing trousers, a short-sleeved shirt, a wig and black-framed glasses, Gu Tongwan looked like a sloppy-looking "otaku" who didn't really like working.

Yan Fan was wearing the sportswear given by Gu Tongwan, and a black baseball cap and mask. He looked like a cool guy, but he was a little short. Otherwise, with his appearance and temperament, he should be attractive to girls.

Yan Fan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, found it difficult to adapt at first and almost forgot how to fasten his seat belt. After all, he hadn't ridden in a car for three or four years, and after arriving at the base, he still had to walk most of the time.

I glanced in the rearview mirror at the foam boxes at the back.

Because he was afraid that the ice inside would melt prematurely, Gu Tongwan directly moved all the boxes into the car. If more goods need to be transported in the future, he might need to ask Yan Fan to continue to manually keep the goods fresh.

She just told Yan Fan that these fruits and vegetables were purchased from a friend who ran a farm. As for the purchase location, it was a trade secret. Not to mention that Yan Fan was still a stranger to her, she did not intend to reveal any secrets even to her best friend Liao Yunyun.

It’s not that I don’t trust the other person, but sometimes people’s hearts change, and if this incident brings her trouble, it will be too late to regret it then.

It takes about an hour to drive out of the base from the inner circle and head to the black market venue. We arrived at exactly 8:25.

They parked the car in the familiar open-air parking lot. A parking attendant came up early and directed them to park in the corresponding position with a smile.

Since this is not the first time I have been here, although it has been more than two months, the changes are not too big, and there are quite a lot of people on the road. It seems that everyone is looking forward to the black market tonight.

After using the points card to swipe five points on the card machine in the black market brother's hand, he and Yan Fan took down the folding hand trailer and moved the four large foam boxes onto the trailer.

The points required to enter the black market are higher than before. I remember that it seemed to be less than 50 points at the beginning. Now vendors need 60 points each, and tourists need 35 points.

Since it was Yan Fan's first time in the black market, he felt that everything around him was quite new. His eyes were constantly attracted by the various vendors busy setting up stalls. Sometimes he would even be unable to take his eyes away from some things he had never seen before.

In the past, he did not have a good life in the base. It was good enough to have enough food and clothing every day. How could he afford the fifty points for a black market entrance ticket? Moreover, the black market was more than ten kilometers away from the base. It would take at least two hours to walk there, and on the way, he would encounter unknown threats or various mutant beasts lurking nearby. Therefore, basically everyone who could leave the base drove there.

Yan Fan stared at the two chandeliers above his head. The huge white halo made him feel as if he was at a construction site before the end of the world. However, at this time, he could hear all kinds of noisy conversations. There were more and more vendors along the street, and both sides of the night market, which was about a hundred meters long, were soon occupied by shops that had reserved locations in advance.

Yan Fan glanced sideways at Gu Tongwan who was wiping his sweat beside him, and saw that in a short while, his collar was already stained with sweat.

It was not open to tourists until around 8:30, but many people had already driven there. Tourists generally sat in their cars and were reluctant to get out, after all, they had to wait another half an hour, and they could also enjoy the air conditioning while sitting in the car.

The outdoor temperature at night was around 48 degrees, and the stuffiness made it feel like you had bronchitis even when breathing.

Here you can feel a very obvious mental force every fifty or sixty meters.

"He's an ice-type mutant." Yan Fan, who was pulling a trailer beside him, said this in a cold tone.

Perhaps he noticed Gu Tongwan's gaze on his face, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he continued to explain: "Psychics of the same type can sense mental fluctuations, and those around here are at least C-level or above ice psychics."

Gu Tongwan suddenly remembered that when she killed Zheng Fan in the suburbs, Zheng Tian's appearance did cause an abnormal fluctuation in her mental power, but the feeling was very slight. If her mental power was not more sensitive, she probably would not have felt it.

So she asked, "Do higher-level psychics feel the mental fluctuations of psychics of the same type more clearly?"

Yan Fan thought for a moment and nodded, "High-level psychics have stronger mental powers, so it is easier for them to sense other psychics of the same kind. However, there is no explanation for this statement in the base yet. From what I have encountered, the person just now was a B-level ice psychic, but she didn't seem to sense my presence."

"That may be because her mental strength is not as focused as yours."

Gu Tongwan narrowed his eyes and noticed Yan Fan looking at him in surprise, then he smiled and explained: "This is just my guess. After all, a high level of supernatural power does not necessarily mean that mental power is strong. Mental power needs to rely on later efforts and practice to gradually become stronger."

In fact, she had already felt that although Yan Fan was only a D-level psychic, his mental power was actually very strong. He was even able to sense Aoao's attacks in advance several times.

"These ice-type masters probably haven't activated their powers yet, so it's still as hot here." Gu Tongwan felt that it was night time and he needed to disguise himself, so he didn't wear a temperature-regulating tights when he came out. He had only walked a hundred meters from the car when he immediately felt so hot that he felt like he had just been pulled out of the water.

On the other hand, Yan Fan looked clean and refreshed, with not even a trace of sweat on his temples.

As expected, he is an ice-type mutant. This ability is very convenient. In extremely hot weather, he can not only use this ability to regulate his body temperature, but also lower the temperature around him.

No wonder the base is now recruiting ice and frost-type psychics. It is said that any ice-type psychic of C level or above will be paid at least one thousand to two thousand points a day, and the specific work seems to be related to lowering the temperature. It is estimated that some special departments or units are in urgent need of a "central air conditioner" that can be moved at any time.

Thinking about how Chen Yanxi had lowered the temperature around him before, and that he could control the range at will, his operation of supernatural powers had reached the level of perfection.

He is truly an S-rank psychic, and one with special abilities.

However, among the currently known superpowers in the base, "space power" has not been made public. In the end of the previous life, space power appeared around the fourth year. However, the appearance of space power was amazing at the beginning. In the later period, as the number of space power users gradually increased, people and the government over-pursued space power users, resulting in a large amount of resources still tending towards this type of people, causing dissatisfaction among other superpower users in the superpower world. In addition, space power users did not really play their importance in the later period. After all, in the later period of the end of the world, factories that could manufacture vehicles were slowly recovering. Vehicles were not only owned by the powerful, but some petty-bourgeois families were also gradually able to own their own cars.

With the small car, people no longer need the help of space-based psychics when traveling. After all, the largest space that space-based psychics had ever made public in China was only over 200 square meters. It was equivalent to a small arsenal, and it was very popular when the Self-Defense Forces were performing various tasks in the early stage. However, with the rise of vehicles and the use of aircraft, the disadvantages of space-based psychics were soon exposed.

First, space-based psychics are unable to transport living things, so the Self-Defense Force members who go out on missions still have to travel long distances; second, most space-based psychics basically have no way to transport items that exceed the range of their own space at one time. For example, if the weight of the one-time transportation is greater than the maximum weight the space can bear, the psychic's mental strength will be depleted, and may even cause adverse reactions; third, the upgrade speed of space-based psychics is too slow. It takes at least three to five years to complete from F level to B level, but in fact the space capacity expansion area has not reached the level people expected. It is only from about one square meter of portable space to about one hundred square meters of space.

The glorious moment of space-based psychics is extremely short. It has only been half a year since they were sought after and then fell from the altar. After half a year, space-based psychics are basically irrelevant to ordinary people. If there is any saying about their greatest significance, it should be that they have promoted the progress of space food delivery.

Gu Tongwan was very lucky that her space-based ability user had already existed before the end of the world. Although it seemed like a bug, no matter what, at least she did survive by relying on the space.

Thoughts flashed through my mind like a passing tourist, and before I knew it, I arrived at the meeting place with the contact person, in front of an abandoned round table opposite the red sign.

There happened to be a tent at this place, and there seemed to be a light on inside, and you could see people moving around inside.

The agreed time was half past eight. She glanced at her watch and it was eight thirty-eight. It took her some time to walk over, so she was a little late.

Just as he was thinking about it, a man walked out of the tent. The man was originally looking around, but when he suddenly caught sight of Gu Tongwan, a light flashed in his eyes. He then walked forward, and his mouth opened before he got to him.

"Little boss, you're finally here. I thought you weren't coming tonight, so I called you several times."

Gu Tongwan then took out his phone and found that the network signal was unstable, so he could only look up and smile apologetically: "Sorry, the signal is not good, I didn't receive your call."

The man did not look angry. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the trailer behind Gu Tongwan. His eyes seemed to be sparkling as he looked at the foam boxes.

"As agreed, there are four boxes of goods in total. Do you want to inspect them here or go somewhere else?" Gu Tongwan said with his hand already covering the lid of the foam box, ready to open it at any time.

"Wait, young boss, let's check the goods inside. There are too many people here. For safety reasons, it's safer to go inside the tent."

Gu Tongwan smiled, and then said to Yan Fan: "Push the things in."

There was another woman in the tent, who was about 30 years old. She should also be a staff member of the black market. When she saw Gu Tongwan and the man pushing things in, she looked at her curiously.

In fact, the woman is an old friend of the man and one of the main core members of the black market.

The black market is actually not under the jurisdiction of the base or the wanderer organization. There are real big bosses behind it. Although the base and the wanderer organization are the two largest existences in the apocalypse, in fact, in addition to these two forces, there are still some small forces in the base. Although the number of these forces is not large, they even hold important energy and supply.

The black market was originally a force that broke away from the Wanderers Organization. It is said that its leader is a very powerful high-level psychic, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have the strength to directly break away from the Wanderers Organization and create his own force.

Moreover, not only do these forces live a more carefree life outside than in their bases, but the resources within their bases are even staggeringly abundant.

For example, the forces on the black market own their own independent farms and breeding grounds, and even have various energy materials collected in the past few years of the apocalypse.

However, the background and whereabouts of this big boss have always been mysterious. Even though the base wanted to track him down over the years, the trackers they sent out finally returned without any news.

As soon as Gu Tongwan entered the tent, he felt a chill, so he looked at the woman standing in the corner of the tent with some surprise, and saw her smiling at him.

The woman had her hands behind her back, and the hem of her dress felt faintly like it was being blown by the breeze.

Could he be an ice-type mutant?

At this moment, Yan Fan's sight happened to fall on the woman. He had already felt the other party's supernatural power fluctuations. The temperature in the tent was estimated to be maintained at around 30 degrees, forming a strong temperature difference with the stuffy feeling of more than 40 degrees outside.

The woman didn't actually hide her identity as a person with special abilities on purpose. She probably didn't speak at this time because of the man's instructions.

When Gu Tongwan opened the foam box, two boxes of tomatoes that were very bright in color and size immediately caught the man's eyes. After a flash of surprise in his eyes, he immediately waited impatiently to open the other two foam boxes.
