Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 433: Human Life is Cheaper than Shoes
The people who got out of the car were Self-Defense Force members from the nearby Security Bureau. There were four of them in total, all wearing dark blue uniforms.
When they saw the Self-Defense Forces, the two men who were originally listless immediately showed happy smiles on their faces and quickly stood up.
"We are here, we are here! We need help!" One of the men waved his hands, afraid that he would not be discovered.
After the Self-Defense Force members got out of the car, they did not rush over. Instead, they took out portable raincoats from the car and put them on. They also put on gas masks on their faces. After about two minutes, they came over, looked the two men up and down, and asked, "You are not injured, are you?"
"No, no, we went out to buy something last night, but it started to rain out of nowhere and we've been stuck here. The road is still wet and we don't dare to go out. There are too many puddles on the road. Can you drive us home?"
When the Self-Defense Force member saw the slippers on their feet, he immediately understood what was going on, so he nodded to a colleague next to him, and the colleague took out two bottles of water and two packs of compressed biscuits from a large snakeskin bag and handed them over.
"It's like this. Our main purpose this time is to transfer the injured people to the stadium for unified treatment. For those residents who are temporarily trapped and not in danger of life, please wait where you are. If your home is nearby, you can go back in groups of three or five people, preferably." The voice of a Self-Defense Force member came from inside the gas mask.
The man's face immediately changed when he heard it. He then stared at the two people and repeatedly questioned, "What do you mean? You want me to keep waiting here? Who knows when this bad weather will end? We were frightened all night yesterday. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many mutant rats, we would have gone back long ago. But now you want us to keep waiting. Aren't you asking us to die?"
Another person immediately followed and said, "Yes, our home is only two or three kilometers away. It only takes you five minutes to drive us there. You can't just leave us there, right? The Self-Defense Forces are there to serve the people. They should see to it."
The members of the Self-Defense Force had long anticipated this situation, so they were not panicking. The leader was still indifferent, "Sorry, we are just following orders. If there is an emergency, you must try to go to higher ground and hide in places with wider eaves. The base radio will broadcast some information about this acid rain and self-rescue guide later."
After saying these words, the Self-Defense Force members left the scene. Even though the two men were so angry that they wanted to chase after them, they were hindered by the large puddle of water under the stairs. In particular, after one of the men's slippers slipped and fell into the puddle, they saw that the entire plastic slipper was visibly expanding, and then the color and texture changed, and white smoke continued to rise from the puddle.
The man was so frightened that he took several steps back, his entire back pressed against the glass door behind him, wishing he could break the glass.
But in fact, it was precisely because of this strong acid puddle that the mutant rats that gathered after the rain stopped last night were unable to cross the puddle to attack them.
Gu Tongwan and Yan Fan looked at the two people who were yelling madly on the spot, seeming desperate and angry, but more of them were helpless about their inability to change the current situation.
The Self-Defense Forces left after distributing the relief supplies. The whole process took less than five minutes.
As Gu Tongwan continued walking forward and was about to turn a corner to reach Liao Yunyun's neighborhood, he saw an older woman holding an adult man in her arms on the stairs of another private shop. The man seemed to have fallen into a coma, and his face was frighteningly pale.
The woman had messy hair and looked to be in her early forties. The man in her arms was about thirty-two or thirty-three years old. There were burn marks on the man's arms and neck.
The area for two people to sit is about two square meters, with three steps, but the first step has been submerged in acid water.
Gu Tongwan and Yan Fan were also confused at first about how to pass through this place. This was the only place in the block that was in a low-lying area. It had been repaired for a period of time before. The surrounding residents had been complaining to the base government, but the results were not satisfactory. After many repairs, the road still had a few potholes.
Aoao and Tutu seemed to not care at all about the potholes and acid water remaining on the ground. Even if their feet stepped into the acid water, it would not cause any harm to them at all.
Although the two dogs are very clean and basically avoid the puddles along the way, occasionally Aoao would be a little naughty and deliberately step on some remaining water stains on the road, but I didn't see any reaction from them, and they even jumped around happily.
It is probably because the two dogs have thick skin and flesh, or the physical fitness of the mutant beasts is far beyond the corrosive level of acid rain.
So Gu Tongwan suddenly thought of an idea. She put two fingers under her lips and whistled in the direction of the two dogs. Then she saw the two dogs who were still playing immediately coming towards her.
Gu Tongwan quickly climbed onto Tutu's back. His movement was decisive and free and easy, which made Yan Fan stunned.
When the two dogs stand up, they are about two meters twenty-three tall, and when they walk on all fours, their backs are about one meter twenty high. When Gu Tongwan sits on them, his toes can just touch the ground, but he can sit on them easily by just curling up his feet slightly.
Seeing this operation, Yan Fan couldn't help but envy and complain, "Can these two dogs be used like this..."
Seeing Yan Fan still standing there in a daze, Gu Tongwan raised his eyebrows: "Not coming up? Aoao has been waiting for a long time."
Yan Fan let out an "ah", his face obviously filled with confusion. After he came to his senses belatedly, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No way, if I go up, will Aoao throw me off?" As he spoke, he glanced at Aoao who was scratching his face standing next to him. He accidentally saw the two fangs exposed when Aoao yawned, and he shuddered inexplicably in his heart.
"You've been feeding them snacks all this time, why do you think I asked you to feed them and do confrontation training every day?"
Yan Fan showed a look of astonishment on his face, but soon returned to normal, and there was a bit more gratitude in his eyes when he looked at Gu Tongwan.
Don't be fooled by the two dogs acting incredibly well-behaved in front of Gu Tongwan. In fact, wild beasts are still wild beasts, especially since they have wolf blood flowing in their bodies. Aoao and Tutu are actually very ferocious in their usual tempers, especially when it comes to objects they think can be attacked or crushed. They often treat them as hunting targets and even turn them into their prey.
Aoao is lively and simple, but she is also the one who clings to Gu Tongwan the most. Tutu is aloof and shows obvious resistance to strangers and will secretly send threatening messages to them. This time, Gu Tongwan left Aoao to Yanfan because he was worried that Yanfan would not be able to control Tutu. Relatively speaking, Aoao would be easier to control.
Yan Fan made up his mind before he walked to Aoao. Aoao raised his eyelids and glanced at him. He did not leave immediately. Instead, he squatted down a little, obviously willing to accept Yan Fan.
After seeing Yan Fan sitting on Aoao smoothly, Gu Tongwan gently patted Tutu's neck and whispered, "Tutu, don't move too much for a while, otherwise the water will splash up easily."
The road ahead was flooded for about thirty meters. The water was not deep and could probably cover the ankles, but she and Yan Fan would not be able to wade through it alone. However, it was different for Ao'ao and Tutu, who were not afraid of acid rain. The corrosion of acid rain seemed to no longer cause any harm to them. This might be related to their upgrade. Still remembering the first acid rain period in Kongcheng two years ago, the two dogs had not shown any corrosion resistance to acid rain. But as they fought monsters and upgraded over the past two years, they had also eaten a lot of crystal cores of low-level mutant beasts, and perhaps their bodies had been strengthened in the process.
Aoao and Tutu walked one after the other, with Tutu in front, and their limbs gradually stepped into the puddle. They could see the white mist slowly rising above the water surface, and the closer they were to the water source, the more they could smell the pungent smell.
The whole sleep was very turbid, but one could still see some mutant rats and the remains of black-shelled cockroaches that had not yet been completely corroded.
The woman under the eaves heard the noise, her shoulders trembled, and then she raised her head to look at the source of the sound.
"Wait, wait, please save my husband!" The woman was frightened by the huge figures of Aoao and Tutu at first. When she noticed that there were people sitting on them, a gleam of light immediately flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she shouted loudly.
Gu Tongwan was only about five or six meters away from the woman, who was on the third step. She couldn't help but hug the man tightly in her arms and said hurriedly, "Can you take us back to our community?"
Because Gu Tongwan stopped, Aoao, who was carrying Yan Fan, also stopped.
At this time, Gu Tongwan was observing the woman. He saw that the woman was wearing a clean dress. Although her face looked haggard, she was still wearing makeup. The man in her arms was also wearing a suit. Anyone who still had the mood to dress himself up in the end times must not lack food and drink. It can even be said that he was at least doing well in the base.
Although the woman asked them for help, she obviously took it for granted, and her tone from the beginning was like a condescending command.
Perhaps because Gu Tongwan hadn't answered, the woman frowned in dissatisfaction and added, "I live in Canglan Community. If you can take me home, I can give you a generous reward, ten kilograms of rice, and an extra five hundred points. How about it?"
"We don't lack that little bit of food, you should keep it for yourself." Yan Fan, who has been living on the bottom floor of the base for many years, has seen all kinds of people. He is not a cold-blooded person, but he will never easily show sympathy to any stranger. In addition, he really finds the woman's tone harsh, so before Gu Tongwan expresses his opinion, Yan Fan couldn't help but retort to the woman.
The woman did not expect that she would be rejected, so she was holding her anger in her heart, but she could not immediately turn hostile at this time. You know, the young man and woman were the only living people she had seen from last night to this morning. She had seen several other men before, but those men were bitten by the mutant rats nearby before they came over, and finally they were scared and ran away in the opposite direction, and could not help her at all.
Originally, the woman didn't expect strangers to help her. She just hoped she could hold on until the Self-Defense Forces arrived. However, the man in her arms might not be able to hold on until that time.
"Whatever you need, I can give you whatever I have, but I hope you can help me. My husband was burned by acid rain last night, and we can't delay any longer. I see that since you can wade through the water smoothly and walk all the way here, then you must have a way to get out." The woman had to lower her posture at this time and said to Gu Tongwan in a calm manner.
She could feel that the person who could make the decision on this matter was the young woman who was wearing a mask and whose face could not be seen clearly, and that the young man was just a little follower.
"The Self-Defense Forces in the base have been dispatched. I saw a small team on the way here just now. You can continue to wait. Someone should come to rescue you soon." Gu Tongwan said and patted Aoao's head again. He saw Aoao turned his head underground and continued to move forward.
The woman was completely dumbfounded. She couldn't believe that Gu Tongwan was so stubborn, so she quickly stood up, stamped her toes and shouted, "How can you be so heartless? Can't you see we are in danger? I said I would reward you, not that you can help for free! You are so cold-blooded at such a young age. I wonder how long you can survive in the base in the future!" She continued to curse and the words she used became more and more unpleasant.
Aoao, who was passing by behind, suddenly released his imposing manner and let out a beast-like growl from his throat. His amber pupils turned into deep blue in an instant, and there was a faint intense electric current around him.
"what!"
The woman screamed and was frightened by Aoao so much that she fell to the ground, her face full of fear.
At this moment, she could also feel that Aoao was carrying murderous intent and might pounce on her at any time.
Yan Fan saw the panic-stricken woman and sneered, "Humanity? Let's not talk about the fact that this is the end of the world where everyone is in danger. You are a stranger and have no relatives or friends with us. Do we have to help you if you say you need help? Besides, this man is just burned and is not dying yet. I see there is water in the bag next to you. What you should do is clean his wound. Next, see the opposite side? There is a place where the water is not deep at the bottom of the stairs. You are wearing high heels. If you want, you can carry the man on your back or support him and step up in one go. It's only about seven or eight meters away. You can just go there. Why do you have to wait here to be rescued?"
After saying this, Yan Fan's mocking eyes fell on the high heels that the woman had been holding tightly. She said that she wanted to save her husband, but she didn't expect that her husband's life was not as important as her pair of high heels.
Haha, this is human nature, human life is cheaper than shoes!
