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

The accumulated water of dozens of meters quickly flowed over, and the woman behind realized it belatedly and screamed angrily, with some ugly curses in her voice.

Gu Tongwan didn't look back from beginning to end, but he found that the white fog had dissipated a lot after passing the block.

"I guess we'll see a lot of people like this in a while. After all, the acid rain came too suddenly last night, and many people will probably be trapped outside." Yan Fan got off Aoao's back, and then glanced at the woman behind him out of the corner of his eye. He found that the woman had been glaring at him viciously, but she didn't have the courage to take a step forward.

"Well, maybe. Hopefully there will be fewer casualties in the base."

Gu Tongwan's tone was very calm, and no emotion could be heard from him.

After temporarily taking off the gas mask on her face, she opened her backpack and took out a bottle of mineral water. The bottle was actually filled with space spiritual spring water that she had filled in advance. She didn't know what situation she would encounter on the road. Once her body showed abnormalities or she was exhausted, drinking some spiritual spring water could help her restore her spirit.

Yan Fan's spirit is better than hers. He has been staying in the house to practice his mental power during this period. Both his physical and mental strength should be far superior to that of C-level psychics at the same stage.

The entrance to Liao Yunyun's community can be seen after turning a corner. There are usually security personnel at the gate of the community, but at this time only the iron gate of the community is closed and there is no one in the guard duty room. It is estimated that the continuous acid rain has caused the security here to be temporarily abandoned.

Gu Tongwan did not tell Liao Yunyun in advance that he was coming, so he only called when he reached the stairs.

The floors of buildings in the apocalypse are not very high, so the community where Liao Yunyun lives, like most communities, does not have an elevator. So the two of them climbed the stairs. The only sound in the entire staircase was the sound of footsteps, and there was no other movement.

This dead silent atmosphere continued until they reached the corridor on the fifth floor. Liao Yunyun had apparently changed her clothes and was ready to go out. When she opened the door, she found that Gu Tongwan had already arrived. Just as she was about to speak, she seemed to realize that they were still outside, so she quickly let the two in.

As soon as she entered the room, Liao Yunyun immediately locked the door and even looked outside twice. She only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no one else outside.

"Why do you look so nervous?" Gu Tongwan wondered.

Yan Fan stood next to him somewhat awkwardly. It was not that he didn't want to find a place to sit, but he found that there was only one chair in Liao Yunyun's house, and if he sat on it, there would be no place for Gu Tongwan.

Liao Yunyun was also looking at Yan Fan next to her at this time. Although she knew that her best friend had a new follower at home, she also learned a lot about Yan Fan on the Internet. She even warned Gu Tongwan to observe and pay more attention. In the end times, even a seven or eight-year-old child may become a tool or bait to be used by others, let alone a thief who appeared inexplicably and attempted to steal at the beginning.

However, after knowing that Yan Fan would rather take risks to come back to help Gu Tongwan, Liao Yunyun's feeling towards this young boy changed slightly. But it can't be said that she trusts him completely. She is just not so resistant now.

Liao Yunyun noticed that her best friend was looking at her with a worried look on her face, so she whispered, "Be careful, walls have ears. The neighborhood has been a bit uneasy lately, and a group of very strange people have come. I feel like these people are not normal, no, I should say suspicious."

Upon hearing this, Gu Tongwan involuntarily leaned forward slightly. Liao Yunyun stood up and sat on her bed, then pointed to the single sofa where she had been sitting.

After Gu Tongwan sat down, Yan Fan felt at ease and pulled up a small stool to sit opposite him.

Liao Yunyun glanced at the tightly closed window, as if a little worried. She walked over and closed the curtains again, then lowered her voice and told about the strange things that happened last night.

It turned out that the acid rain last night came very suddenly. All kinds of shouting and crying could be heard from downstairs, but those sounds only lasted for a short while. I guess everyone was busy closing the doors and windows, and the sounds were drowned out by the sound of the rain and no more sound could be heard.

Liao Yunyun had already made up her mind, and Gu Tongwan had reminded her to stock up on water and food, so the supplies in her home could basically last for a month or so. She even took out a few power banks she had bought on the black market and fully charged the "power bank" at home that had not been used for a while. If there was a power outage due to acid rain, she could just charge her cell phone and flashlight batteries, which would last at least a hundred times.

At 11:30 in the evening, Liao Yunyun, who had long been accustomed to the life of a night owl, was lying on the bed surfing the Internet with her mobile phone, when she suddenly heard the sound of rain and screams from the building opposite.

The acid rain lasted for three or four hours, and it gradually turned into moderate rain around eleven o'clock. However, every household was afraid that the acid rain would spread from the balcony, so no one dared to open the balcony door. Liao Yunyun could only vaguely see through the half-drawn curtains that about one-third of the houses on the opposite floor had turned on the lights, and it was estimated that the others had gone to bed early.

Just when Liao Yunyun was bored and wanted to put down her phone to take a break, suddenly there was a sound of explosion from the opposite side.

However, rather than an explosion, it was more like a compressed fireball or a loud firecracker thrown into the corridor, the noise was so loud that it could be heard even from here.

The explosion sound lasted for seven or eight times, and the faint rumbling sound of motorcycle engines could be heard from below. The reason it was so clear was that, firstly, the sound of rain had gradually weakened, and secondly, it seemed to be the sound of a group of motorcycle engines.

Liao Yunyun climbed up from the bed and just walked to the window to see what was going on, when she suddenly saw black smoke rising from the corridor on the second and third floors opposite, followed by two explosions.

Then several furtive figures emerged from the black smoke.

The building where she lived was about twenty meters away from the building opposite, and there were two flower beds underneath. When it was extremely hot, the flowers in the flower beds died, and several cleaners in charge of the community environment cleaned up the soil inside.

Some people said that the soil was dug from the big forest in the north. It was all good soil and the plants planted in it would not mutate, so the cleaners actually took the soil back home. But others said that the soil was stolen by residents of the community and the cleaners took away the last part of the sand.

Ever since the flower bed became empty, it became a place for children to play, and some naughty children even threw all kinds of garbage in it. However, it was only after the warnings from the community security personnel that the place was finally prevented from becoming a garbage dump.

This strong acid rain lasted for several hours. I'm afraid a lot of acid rain has accumulated in the flower beds. During the previous acid rain, some bones of mutant rats could be seen in the flower beds, and the entire rain turned dark red. It is estimated that after the mutant rats were corroded, their flesh and blood had already merged with the acid rain.

After the explosions from the opposite building ended, confrontation and cursing followed, all coming from the third floor opposite.

At first I thought it was a couple on the opposite floor arguing, but as I listened, the sounds became less and less continuous, and the woman's cries were even mixed with one or two cries of "Help".

When it was extremely hot before, the community was already short of staff for security. Unlike the villa area, the community here is not directly staffed by Self-Defense Force members. Instead, the community property and the government have arranged personnel to work in shifts. However, since many terrorist attacks occurred in Jire, the base has transferred the Self-Defense Force members working in various communities back to their original departments. This has led to lax security in some communities, and even if they want to find suitable security guards, they have been unable to do so due to salary issues.

There are more than twenty buildings in Liao Yunyun's community. Originally, the security guards were divided into groups of four, and there were three groups working in three shifts a day, with a total of twelve people. One of the groups was composed of members of the Self-Defense Force. After the members of the Self-Defense Force left, there were only eight people left. After these eight people were divided into three groups, their enthusiasm was not as high as before. In addition, it has been acid raining in the past two days, so the property simply let the security guards be on duty indoors. However, the duty room is in a low-lying area, and those security guards have not been seen since the day before yesterday. It is estimated that they have run back home long ago.

The woman's screams alarmed the people on the floors above and below, but what was strange was that the lights on the opposite floor were turned off almost one after another.

At this time, there was only a dim light left on the opposite corridor. She could vaguely make out that the people standing in the corridor were all men, and they seemed to be holding tools in their hands. One of them was smashing towards a door frantically.

The same situation occurred on the third floor. The three men broke into the room and closed the door. However, Liao Yunyun vaguely heard the scream of the woman in that household suddenly stop.

At the same time, the window on the third floor was opened, and an object with a cold glow suddenly pressed against the window sill.

"Ah!" Liao Yunyun covered her mouth and took a step back, and the next moment she quickly pulled the curtains.

Her eyesight has always been excellent, so even from a distance, she could vaguely recognize that the object with cold light that had just been leaning against the window sill should be a telescope.

Someone seemed to be observing the situation here with a telescope, and they were the men who broke into the house.

Liao Yunyun's back was pressed against the wall. The room was shrouded in darkness. She was glad that she didn't turn on the lights at night to save electricity. In addition, the corridor light on this floor was at the end, so the person opposite her should not have noticed her.

Just in case, she even crawled back to her bed with her hands on the ground, for fear that her shadow would be reflected on the window and she would be discovered.

While she was waiting, a woman's scream came from the other side again, and this time it was faintly accompanied by laughter.

The arrogance and joy in the laughter floated over with the sound of rain. Liao Yunyun covered her ears desperately, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. The laughter reminded her of the beginning of the apocalypse two years ago, when the order of human society had just collapsed.

While she was scared, Liao Yunyun's first reaction was to climb down from the bed, then she pushed the only sofa on the right side of the door tightly against the door, and then locked the chain that was usually not fastened to the door.

After doing all this, he slowly crawled to the bed and looked out cautiously. At this time, the window opposite had been closed, and except for a few swaying figures occasionally seen through the rain, there was no anti-glare light inside.

After feeling a little relieved, Liao Yunyun turned on her cell phone and called the nearby security bureau. The security bureau did answer the call, but said in a tactful tone that they could not respond normally during the acid rain. They only comforted Liao Yunyun's nervous mood and asked her to do everything possible to ensure her personal safety, at least to ensure that the gate would not be breached for a while, and secondly not to make too much noise or turn on the lights at night to attract the attention of the other side.

The entire call lasted less than two minutes before it was interrupted by another call. Liao Yunyun fell into anxiety and fear again.

At about half past twelve in the morning, there was a sudden sound of something falling heavily to the ground outside.

"boom!"

The moment the voice sounded, Liao Yunyun's heart rose to her throat, but she forced herself not to think too much.

This continued until morning, when Liao Yunyun realized that she had accidentally fallen asleep at around three o'clock last night.

The first thing she did after waking up was to lie on the windowsill and pull open the curtains to look outside. It was quiet across the street the whole morning, but the door of the house on the third floor where she had stayed last night was open. From inside, she could vaguely see a person lying on the floor, and she didn't know whether he was dead or alive. But she didn't dare to go out rashly, firstly because she was worried about acid rain, and secondly, she didn't know whether those people from last night were still there.

Unfortunately, there is no homeowners group in this community, so Liao Yunyun doesn’t know who the group of people were last night.

If it is safe later, she will immediately find someone to install a security door for her. When she first moved in and started decorating the house, she heard that a security door would cost more than 3,000 points, which was equivalent to her salary for almost half a year, so she was reluctant to spend the money. Now she regrets it so much. You can save on anything, but you really can't save on things related to security.

Even if they knew that criminals might have entered the community at this time, they could do nothing about it. After all, if they ran out now, they might not die at the hands of the criminals but would die in the acid rain.

She spent the whole morning in an uneasy mood and had only a few compressed biscuits for lunch. When she wanted to call the Security Bureau again, she found in despair that the line was always busy.

However, Gu Tongwan's call gave her a glimmer of hope, but at the same time she was also worried that her best friend's arrival would put her in danger.

"I did see several motorcycles in the underground garage on the first floor, but I don't know if they were the people you mentioned last night." Gu Tongwan thought of the seven or eight motorcycles he saw lying on one side when he parked his electric bike on the first floor below ground. The devices on the bodies of the motorcycles were very wild, with some cans hanging on them, and a lot of nylon ropes that could be used for binding were wrapped around the rear of the motorcycles.

Yan Fan, who had been silent the whole time, pursed his lips and said, "There is a body in the flower bed below."
