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

Just when everyone's nerves were raised to a critical point, it was like a balloon being punctured, and the atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Deputy Captain Zhang was worried that it was his own illusion, so he didn't dare to move for a while. It was not until a few minutes later that he heard the little girl on the other side, who seemed to be a superpower, weakly say, "It seems that the things outside have left." He nodded to her and said, "You can turn on the lights."

After turning on the lights, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed, but Fang Ru still found that Deputy Captain Zhang's forehead and neck were covered with a layer of hot sweat.

The temperature has been around 25 or 26 in the past two days, and it was even a bit cold at night. However, he didn't look like he was sweating from the heat. It seemed more like he was extremely nervous and was sweating so much. If Deputy Captain Zhang, a C-level psychic, looked like he was facing a great enemy, then the situation must have been very dangerous. However, he was trying to stabilize everyone's emotions.

"Deputy Captain Zhang, are you hiding something from us?" Fang Ru put Zhou Zhou on the chair and pointed at the other party in a sharp tone.

The members of the Self-Defense Force chose to remain silent at the same time, but everyone's eyes were on Deputy Captain Zhang, because the deputy captain's emotional changes just now were indeed a little abnormal.

Feeling that everyone's eyes were on him, Deputy Captain Zhang lowered his eyes and did not answer Fang Ru's question immediately, but this reaction further confirmed that he was indeed hiding something.

Xiao Luo was anxious at this moment, and immediately asked: "Deputy Captain, what does Doctor Fang mean by this? Do you know what that thing outside is?"

"It looks like a human, but it's not a human." Lan Cen said timidly.

Xiao Li was worried that everyone would misunderstand Lan Cen, so she explained for him: "Lan Cen is also a psychic. Although she is only F-level, her perception ability is very strong and she is very sensitive to abnormal auras." After that, she turned her head and looked at Lan Cen: "Lan Cen, what is human and not human? What does it mean? Why do I feel a little confused?"

Seeing that Deputy Captain Zhang seemed hesitant to speak, the proprietress immediately winked at her husband.

The latter was quite considerate. He quickly took out a homemade cigarette produced at the base from his trouser pocket and said with a faint smile: "Here, Deputy Captain Zhang, have one first, and we'll talk slowly later." Then he lit the cigarette and handed it over.

This time, Deputy Captain Zhang did not refuse. He was a heavy smoker and smoked a lot at home. When he smelled the cigarette in his nose, he could not help but took it and started to smoke.

After smoking half of the cigarette, I felt much more relaxed and decided to tell him what I knew.

"Just now I mentioned to you about several new superpowers that were officially announced before. I also said that those were artificial experiments. In fact, not only some evil forces outside the base, but even the largest terrorist organization, the Illuminati, are conducting experiments in private. Last month, I was transferred to the headquarters of the Security Bureau to carry out a special mission with the guard team. The mission was to destroy a secret chemical plant under the Illuminati, which was located about 30 kilometers outside the base. At that time, a total of five A-level superpowers, twelve B-level superpowers, and three C-level superpowers who were engaged in related work were dispatched. Because I have experience in criminal investigation, I was specially transferred to investigate the incident."

At this point, Deputy Captain Zhang took a long puff of the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, almost greedily, and then continued, "That chemical plant is very large. Before the end of the world, it should have been a nearby lumber mill. When we arrived, the main backbone of the other party had already fled, and there were two people left to look after the warehouse, but those two people knew nothing and were hired there. When we investigated on the spot, we found a secret laboratory there with specimens of various mutant animals that had not been removed in time. We also found an experimental cabin with signs of being used. We initially suspected that it was used for human experiments."

"Are there really human experiments?" Xiaoli exclaimed, but soon she was afraid of interrupting others, so she covered her mouth with her hands a little embarrassedly.

Deputy Captain Zhang still felt his heart beating faster when he recalled the situation on that day. In fact, the scene he saw at the scene that day was even more shocking, because they even found a lot of human limbs in the corner, and a lot of mutant animal corpses were piled up in another freezer.

The laboratory of more than 200 square meters was filled with all kinds of strange smells, including the smell of formalin, disinfectant, and some indescribable medicines. When they first entered, several team members were almost driven back by the smell.

Although the laboratory was deserted and even several computers used to support big data were smashed and destroyed, if they wanted to be repaired, the entire motherboard and hard drive would have to be sent to the capital, but this would take a lot of time to go back and forth.

He quickly finished a cigarette, and seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Deputy Captain Zhang coughed lightly and could only continue to explain what he knew.

"There are four experimental cabins in total. Two of them still have mutant beasts that have been dead for a long time handcuffed. One is a B-level mutant gorilla, and the other is an A-level special mutant beast. The handcuffs of the other two cabins have been broken. It is obvious that the original experimental subjects in the two cabins have escaped." Thinking of this, Deputy Captain Zhang suddenly raised his head with disbelief in his eyes. "We collected human fingerprints on the top of the two empty experimental cabins."

Xiaoli had felt that the temperature in the restaurant had been dropping, and now she couldn't help but take a deep breath when she heard this. Lan Cen, who was standing next to Xiaoli, couldn't help but shudder. He never thought that humans and mutant beasts would be in the same laboratory.

"Aren't human experiments prohibited? And it's happening right next to the base. Don't the higher-ups at the base notice anything?" Fang Ru worked in a hospital, so she had some contact with people from the research institute. The research institute would occasionally go to the hospital to get some basic medicines, and she had also delivered medicines to the research institute in person. So far, she hadn't heard that the research institute was conducting any anti-human experiments.

"It's banned on the surface, but it's hard to say whether it's actually done in private. We're just listening to these things." Deputy Captain Zhang sneered, then frowned, "The crystal cores in the two mutant beasts have been taken out. If they're conducting human experiments, the biggest possibility is... Never mind, maybe I'm overthinking it. The more I talk, the more outrageous it gets."

Everyone else was silent. In fact, they all knew what Deputy Captain Zhang was questioning, but it was not a good idea to point it out at this time. Some things are enough to just know them in your heart.

Just when everyone thought that the matter had come to an end, the air raid sirens outside sounded again. This time the sound was obviously much louder than the first time, but also shorter, lasting only about five minutes before stopping.

This time the acid rain lasted until the second half of the night before gradually subsiding. However, after being washed by the strong acid rainstorm, the buildings in the base gradually turned into a burnt color due to corrosion. At around six o'clock the next morning, the sky was just slightly brightening, and this was the time when people were fast asleep. But it was obvious that the people in the base did not get a good night's sleep that night. As a result of multiple acid rain attacks, people were always shrouded in the shadow of acid rain.

This time the damage to the base was much more serious than everyone had imagined, because the second severe acid rain started at around 7:30 in the evening, when some people were still taking a walk outside or taking the opportunity to buy daily necessities. This rainstorm came without any warning, or to be more precise, it came down with lightning speed without giving people any reaction.

When Gu Tongwan opened the door in the morning, the strong smell of nitrous acid and sulfur dioxide mixed in the air outside the yard filled the air. After accidentally inhaling a few breaths, she immediately felt a tightness in her chest, so she had to return to the room to take out her gas mask.

At this time, Yan Fan had just come back from outside, with his face covered with a towel. When he suddenly saw Gu Tongwan's half-hanging gas mask, he was almost frightened.

"Sister Wanwan?" Although he was sure that it was her, Yan Fan still couldn't help but shout.

Gu Tongwan nodded and said in a slightly muffled voice from inside the gas mask, "What's the situation outside?"

Yan Fan shook his head and was about to speak when he saw two figures, one black and one white, jumping and playing in the yard. They even ignored the puddles formed by the acid rain and even paced back and forth happily in the puddles without any signs of corrosion.

Seeing this, Yan Fan's eyes flashed with surprise. It is said that the skin of S-level mutant beasts is so strong that it is even invulnerable to swords and guns.

After hiding the surprise in his eyes, Yan Fan said: "It's not good. Many buildings have signs of corrosion, and... the number of casualties has increased."

He had just walked around the nearby streets and at first saw a lot of corpses of mutated red-eyed rats lying on the ground. The corpses were corroded and bloody. If it weren't for the long tail, it might be difficult to recognize what this ball of flesh was.

Under the eaves outside several office buildings, some residents who had been trapped the entire night still did not dare to go out easily. Some were even lying on the ground dying after being rescued due to serious injuries. The corroded parts became bloody, and some even began to fester due to lack of medical treatment.

He didn't walk too far, just a walk around a kilometer or so before coming back, but on the way he could hear crying and shouting coming from the residential areas on both sides, and he even ran into cars sent by the Security Bureau. A total of more than a dozen cars whizzed past, probably heading to the worst-hit areas to provide support.

When he came back, Yan Fan also noticed the marks left on the door by the "biker gang" two days ago. They were obviously bullet marks.

Gu Tongwan looked at the base shrouded in white fog, with a vigilant look in his eyes, "Go back and have breakfast. I want to go out and take a look later. If you don't want to, you can stay and look after the house."

Yan Fan immediately shook his head: "Sister Wanwan, I will go with you."

Gu Tongwan didn't say anything, so the two of them returned to the house and simply ate some millet porridge that they had cooked last night, accompanied by two poached eggs and some pickles. This time, she did not leave Aoao and Tutu to look after the house, she just left three branches of the blood vine so that she could sense any situation at home.

This time, several people chose to walk, but they all carried a backpack with mineral water, some compressed biscuits, and a simple first aid kit in case of emergency.

She was planning to go to Liao Yunyun's home to check on the situation. It was only about four kilometers away from here, and it would take about 40 minutes to walk there.

This time, both she and Yan Fan changed into slightly thick-soled tape leather boots. Yan Fan's pair of shoes was a pair he had bought on the black market before. The texture was quite good and looked very thick.

As for the pair of shoes on her feet, they were taken out from the space. They were corrosion-resistant leather boots specially customized. There were probably more than thirty pairs in the space. She remembered that the price of each pair was not cheap, at least seven or eight thousand yuan a pair. She felt a pain in her heart when she paid for it.

Both men were wearing hats, and Yan Fan still had a towel wrapped around his face, because the smell of sulfur dioxide in the air had not dissipated, and just one breath would make his throat feel like it was burning.

The bustling scenes of the past are no longer seen. The only things left on the four-lane road are the occasional surviving mutant rats and some black-shelled cockroaches that run to the streets to look for food. On both sides of the streets, you can see lumps of flesh with bones exposed, and the mutant rats are gnawing on the corpses of their companions in piles.

Seeing this scene, Yan Fan suddenly felt a little nauseous and regretted eating too much in the morning.

Gu Tongwan looked normal, and the sour water under his feet had not been completely diluted yet and made a "sizzling" sound.

Aoao and Tutu walked one after the other. Once they got a little closer to the mutant rats, because their superpower levels were so huge, the two of them were like the highest-level superiors to the mutant rats, completely crushing the lowest-level mutant beasts in terms of strength. Moreover, the two of them had been releasing their superpowers intentionally or unintentionally since they went out. For this reason, wherever they passed by, all the mutant rats scattered like birds and beasts.

The two men walked for a while before they approached the business district. The shops on both sides of the street were dead silent. Two figures were huddled in the commercial market at the front. The two men raised their heads when they saw someone approaching, with terrified expressions on their faces.

"Sister Wanwan, why don't they leave now that the rain has stopped?" Yan Fan didn't quite understand. Judging from the way the two people were dressed, they seemed to be in good condition, but they looked a little haggard, apparently because they didn't sleep well all night due to the acid rain.

Gu Tongwan glanced at the shoes of the two people, and said calmly: "These two people are wearing flip-flops, there is still accumulated rainwater on the road, plus there are swarms of mutant rats, it would be dangerous to go out now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sudden brake sound and saw a black car parked about ten meters away.
