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

In the villa area, the hunter team had to stay in the living room on the second floor because of the hot weather.

Some time ago, Ye Ziqiu had someone install another wall-mounted air conditioner in the living room on the second floor. After all, the living room on the second floor is mainly where everyone gathers for activities, whether it is eating, watching TV, or occasionally engaging in entertainment activities.

Now they have basically abandoned the living room on the first floor. One reason is that the temperature in the living room on the first floor remains high, maintaining around 50 degrees during the day and 45 degrees at night. It is like a huge steamer. People lose a lot of sweat in it, and if they do not replenish water in time, they may suffer from heatstroke even indoors.

Ye Ziqiu sighed helplessly and looked a little unhappy. Liu Hun next to him was so hot that he was scorching hot. He was originally a fire-type mutant. Although he was not afraid of fire, it did not mean that he was not afraid of heat, especially in the hot weather now. It felt like something was burning his body, making the fire in his body grow stronger and stronger. He wished he could stay under the air conditioner 24 hours a day.

"Why didn't the team recruit an ice-type mutant in the first place? If we had one, we could have him cool down the entire villa." Liu Hun opened his legs, gulped down water, and shook his head due to the heat.

Xu Qingzhi was taking out a glass of water that he had frozen last night from the refrigerator. But maybe it was because of the hot weather, there was still some water flowing in it overnight, and it was not completely frozen. So he turned around and said in distress, "Don't even think about it. Currently, the major hunter guilds are offering high prices to recruit a group of ice-type psychics. For those between C and B levels, the salary is almost three to four times what it was before the extreme heat."

Mo Zigeng beside him also smiled bitterly and said, "I visited Lao Yu's guild a few days ago. The ice-type psychics there are praised as ancestors in the guild. But they also have the ability. With a wave of their hands, the temperature of the entire office can be reduced by 5 or 6 degrees. It works better than air conditioning."

"Our captain can do it, you just don't have the courage to ask." Ye Ziqiu took a bite of the apple he bought at the trading center a few days ago. Although the skin was not too dry, the taste was really hard to describe. Not only did it taste sour, but it also had a strange smell. If Ye Ziqiu hadn't been worried about constipation from eating meat or pasta all day, he wouldn't have spent hundreds of points to buy several kilograms of fruit.

"Zi Qiu, haven't you contacted the boss from last time? The fruit you bought this time is too bad." Liu Hun also picked an apple, but he frowned as soon as he took a bite.

Ye Ziqiu pouted unhappily, "Do you think I don't want to? But the boss may be busy with other things and didn't reply to the message."

I have become accustomed to eating the juicy and delicious fruits that I used to eat, and my taste has become a little picky, so I always feel that other fruits don’t taste good.

Due to weather reasons, the black market has temporarily stopped operating. After finally waiting for the past two weeks for the black market to open, the hunter team received several missions that needed to be carried out across provinces. They only returned to the base this afternoon, but everyone felt too hot and gave up the idea of ​​going out.

"Xuyang, turn down the air conditioner temperature. It's too hot."

Xuyang held the remote control in his hand and adjusted the wind speed to the highest level. "Brother Liu, it's already the lowest level, and the wind speed has just been adjusted to the highest level."

The two air conditioners were running at the same time, and the temperature in the living room on the second floor was still around 40 degrees.

"Fuck, this is fucking terrifying. Why do I feel like the temperature is even higher than it was in the afternoon?"

"It is indeed higher than in the afternoon. The outdoor temperature is now 62 degrees. It was 60 degrees in the afternoon. I estimate that it will set a new record high tomorrow, maybe as high as 65 degrees." Mo Zigeng shrugged his shoulders, his tone full of emotion about the end of the world.

"By the way, is the old man still in Kyoto?" Liu Hun couldn't help muttering. He began to miss the benefits of having the old man at home. At least when it was extremely hot, the temperature of the dozens of square meters in the room where the old man was was maintained at around 30 degrees, which was even better than air conditioning.

This mission was carried out by several of them together, but Chen Yanxi went to Kyoto alone. It seemed that there was a high-level meeting of superpowers in Kyoto that required him to represent the team, so even the team members did not know when Chen Yanxi would return.

Just when everyone was too hot to be in the mood, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairs. Although the sound was not loud, everyone on the second floor was a psychic with a strong sense of perception. They could clearly sense any person downstairs, not to mention that this person had already reached the stairs.

The reason why everyone was not alert was simply because the aura released by this person was that of someone they were familiar with.

Sure enough, the person who came was Chen Yanxi. When Chen Yanxi appeared in the villa without any warning, everyone immediately looked at him with hope and expectation.

"Boss, you're finally back." Liu Hun couldn't help but stand up, his tone full of flattery.

Ye Ziqiu saw that Chen Yanxi was holding a cardboard box, so he asked, "Captain, what is this?"

Chen Yanxi put the things on the coffee table and said, "This is the fruit wine my friend made. I'll give it to you to try."

"Fruit wine? Did you make it yourself?"

Liu Hun, who usually loves drinking, suddenly became excited and immediately came forward and took one of the bottles. "It looks pretty good. Let's have a drink right away?"

Little did they know that Chen Yanxi took a bottle from Liu Hun and took two other bottles from there. However, everyone noticed that the bottles he took were all in transparent glass bottles, while the ones in the brown bottles were hardly touched.

"You can divide the rest among yourselves. I'll take these bottles."

After seeing Chen Yanxi return to the room, Liu Hun narrowed his eyes and said, "Did you notice that the ones the captain took away seemed to be homemade fruit wine, but these bottles seemed to have the labels removed. The packaging of these bottles is the same as the bottles in the wine tasting area of ​​the trading center."

"What do you mean?" Xu Qingzhi asked innocently.

"Have children ever been in love?" Liu Hun raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Xu Qingzhi let out an "ah" and was still confused, but Ye Ziqiu next to him understood.

"Could this wine be given by the young lady I met last time?" Ye Ziqiu was a little unconvinced.

Mo Zigeng stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "I think it should be that our captain is not a drinker, but his behavior just now should be due to possessiveness, right?"

Ye Ziqiu had already opened a brown bottle of wine, took a sip, frowned, and said, "It tastes okay, but a little bitter. It's not my favorite taste."

Liu Hun next to him opened a bottle of transparent glass bottle with the word "Green Plum Wine" written on it. As soon as it was opened, the air was filled with the aroma of green plum and alcohol.

"Damn, when did you open it?" Liu Hun saw that Fang Tang had even poured the wine into the cup and took a sip. Fearing that he would finish it, he immediately brought the remaining plum wine to himself and smelled it. The rich aroma of the wine immediately penetrated into his spleen and lungs, making him greedily take several deep breaths.

When Liu Hun poured himself a cup, Ye Ziqiu walked over and pushed her cup forward as well, "Don't pour it all by yourself."

"Then I want to drink too." Xu Qingzhi also handed over the cup.

Xuyang also silently pushed the cup forward.

Liu Hun immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Why would a child drink alcohol? It has nothing to do with you."

Xuyang: "Brother Liu, I'm already 20 years old, I'm not a kid anymore."

Xu Qingzhi also said: "I am also twenty-one years old, I have already reached adulthood."

Seeing that everyone wanted to have a share, Liu Hun glanced at the two-thirds of green plum wine left, and immediately pointed at the bottle of wine that Ye Ziqiu had just opened, "Why don't you just drink that bottle?"

Xu Qingzhi and Xuyang looked at each other before saying to Liu Hun, "Brother Liu, we are no longer old enough to be deceived."

Liu Hun knew that the two were not so easy to fool, and even Mo Zigen was looking at him eagerly, so Liu Hun simply suggested opening the other bottle.

There are now ten other bottles of wine on the coffee table, including four transparent glass bottles left. Since everyone wants to drink, we might as well open one more bottle.

Who would have known that Ye Ziqiu would be the first to object.

"No, we have to save these for the next time we succeed in our mission. Just think of it as a celebration of us being alive. We can't drink it all now."

Fang Tang had already finished the plum wine in his glass by this time, and he grinned and nodded in agreement with Ye Ziqiu.

"Tsk, I thought I could successfully fool these two, well, now there are so many people waiting to share the food, I guess it will only take one bite for each person."

"You talk too much nonsense. Do you want to eat alone?" Ye Ziqiu rolled his eyes at Liu Hun.

A bottle of wine has to be shared among five people, and indeed not much gets to drink. In the end, each person basically only gets two sips.

Gu Tongwan probably never imagined that the fruit wine he casually brewed would almost cause the famous hunting team to fall apart.

Gu Tongwan, who had returned home at this time, immediately sent a message to Chen Yanxi.

Seeing Gu Tongwan opening the door and coming out from the first floor, Yan Fan opened the door and walked out.

"Sister Wanwan, are you going out so late?"

"Yes, I'm going out to meet some friends. They're in the villa area, so don't worry too much." Gu Tongwan was still wearing her home clothes and even slippers. It looked like she wouldn't go far, and Tutu's big white dog was following her. Anyone who tried to provoke her would probably not end up well.

Gu Tongwan was holding a small box in his hand, which contained the medicine produced by the "Illuminati" that he had received from Hou Cheng before.

The two met at the old place again, but Gu Tongwan was sweating less than five minutes after he went out, and he complained about the damn weather in his heart.

The hot sweat slid down from the forehead to the cheeks and then to the neck, and was quickly absorbed by the clothes on the body.

Even at night, every breath of air she breathed felt like a hot knife irritating her lungs, forcing her to slow down her pace.

Fortunately, it is only five minutes from home to the villa area, and I saw the familiar figure appear next to the electric pole from a few dozen meters away.

In order to save electricity during this period, only half of the street lights near the villa area were in normal use.

Although it was dark on the other side, she could still sense from the other person's breath that it was Chen Yanxi.

When I got a little closer, I realized that even in the dark, the tall figure was still extremely oppressive.

"When will you be back? I remember you said it would be at least until the end of December." Because of the light, Gu Tongwan raised his head and tried hard to adapt to the excessive darkness.

The place where they met was in a corner outside the villa area. There were originally a few trees here, but after the extremely hot weather, all the trees died, so the staff of the villa area simply cut down the trees. Now there are only two large flower beds nearby, and there are no surveillance cameras nearby, so it is the most suitable place for conversation.

Chen Yanxi, who had long since adapted to the darkness, had the same vision as in the daytime even in the dark. So when he caught a glimpse of her sweating profusely, he just stretched out his hand and slightly waved it, and saw that the temperature around her suddenly dropped by at least twenty degrees, and there was even a thin layer of frost covering the ground.

Gu Tongwan looked at him in astonishment, only to catch a glimpse of the clear jaw, and then a pair of pupils that still sparkled in the darkness as if carrying flowing light.

"I arrived in the evening. The black market happened to be open so I wanted to come and take a look." Chen Yanxi's voice was a little low, like a layer of mist in the night, with an indistinguishable emotion.

Every time I meet him, his eyes always seem to penetrate me. They are not overly affectionate, but I can feel that the gaze is not just a simple childhood feeling. Although the two have been frank with each other, Gu Tongwan always feels a little concerned every time he thinks about the future.

At this moment, suppressing the awkwardness in his heart, Gu Tongwan handed over the box in his hand.

"This is something I got by accident. I hope you can find someone to test it."

Chen Yanxi took the box and opened it, only to find that it was a tube of reagent.

Then she continued, "It is said that this reagent can allow a person with superpowers to break through their superpower levels in a short period of time, but it also has serious side effects."

There was no need to hide anything about the "Illuminati" from Chen Yanxi. He simply mentioned that he had recently accidentally learned some secrets about the cult organization. As for the "Success Guild", he did not mention it.

"The government is already investigating this matter. If more clues are obtained, a guard team will be sent out to track them. But the whereabouts of the core members have not been found yet. I guess they are hiding in the base with other identities." Chen Yanxi was not unfamiliar with this potion. In fact, he already had several tubes of the same potion in his hands, and they had also been sent to the research institute for testing.

"Wanwan, the Illuminati is far more dangerous than you think. If possible, I hope you won't have any contact with them." Chen Yanxi's eyes were fixed on her in the darkness, and her figure was reflected in his pupils.

Gu Tongwan frowned slightly. She knew Chen Yanxi's style of doing things. If she could make Chen Yanxi feel fearful, it could only prove that this matter was temporarily out of his control. So she nodded and said, "I know. I'm not planning to get involved. But if the other party wants to provoke me, then I can only fight back."

"We shouldn't let them have that chance." Chen Yanxi pursed his lips, his lip lines were cold and hard, his voice was very light but for some reason it revealed a murderous intent.

While the two were still chatting, a beam of white light suddenly hit them, and Gu Tongwan subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes.

"Who is still wandering around outside at this hour? Eh? You two young lovers are being affectionate with each other. Can I go home? It's hot outside. Don't get a heat stroke."
