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

Yan Fan's words immediately added a bit of weirdness and tension to the already heavy atmosphere.

Liao Yunyun found her teeth chattering. Thinking of the loud "bang" last night, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Then she asked half-doubtfully, "Is it a woman?"

The sound of the body falling last night was preceded by a woman's painful scream, which was quickly drowned out by the sound of rain.

Yan Fan lowered his eyes and nodded, "It should be. There are still some long hair and white cloth left in the water."

"The hostess of the family on the third floor was wearing white clothes when she was collecting clothes on the balcony yesterday morning. They should have a three-year-old child in their family, but now it seems that she may be in danger."

Liao Yunyun sat on the bed, hugging her calves tightly with her hands, like a snail curled up in its shell, wishing she could find a place to hide.

Gu Tongwan's eyes darkened, and he said calmly, "It seems that we have confirmed that the group of people across the street are the bikers who caused trouble at the base two days ago."

"Biker gang?" Liao Yunyun suddenly raised her head, and then asked: "Hasn't the Security Bureau decided to send more people to catch the bikers? Why are they still so rampant? And why are the bikers allowed to ride motorcycles outside during the acid rain? This is not right!"

Liao Yunyun was still somewhat reluctant to believe that the criminals who broke into the residents' homes across the street were the "motorcycle gang" that caused panic among the people in the outer circle of the base a few days ago.

"If it's really a biker gang, should we call the police first? The rain has stopped now. You just said that the devil's car is still in the garage downstairs, which means that the other party will not leave for a while. It is even possible that they have chosen the opposite floor as their temporary resting place. This place is about six kilometers away from the Security Bureau in a straight line. It takes fifty minutes to walk normally, but there is still acid rain water on the road. We cannot rule out other unexpected situations. It may take an hour or even longer than this time." After gradually calming down, Liao Yunyun began to analyze how to deal with the situation at this stage.

In the corner, Ao'ao and Tutu were licking their paws leisurely. There were traces of acid rain on their paws. It seemed that the two dogs did not like the smell. In addition, Gu Tongwan had used his special powers to completely evaporate the acid rain on their paws before letting them in, but the smell could not be avoided.

Gu Tongwan didn't mean to pour cold water on her best friend, but she still felt that Liao Yunyun's idea was too naive, so she talked about the situation on the road and added, "The Security Bureau is currently busy with post-disaster rescue work, trying to transfer those who are still trapped in the central business district of the base and unable to move to a safer place. In addition, there are many injured outside, and now the Security Bureau has no way to dispatch more police force." On the way, she and Yan Fan passed two branch offices, all of which had their doors closed. It was obvious that the personnel were carrying out field support operations.

Furthermore, because of concerns that someone might be playing a prank or deliberately provoking trouble, the Security Bureau would not simply believe their one-sided story unless they could find evidence that they were a motorcycle gang or there was proof that they had injured someone.

"The woman on the flower bed was thrown down by them. We can take pictures!" Liao Yunyun clenched her hands, her tone hurried and angry.

“If we go down to take pictures now, the woman would have turned into corpse water. Besides... who would believe that she was thrown down instead of jumping down on her own?” Yan Fan curled his lips. He was not as optimistic as Liao Yunyun, thinking that he could simply ask the Security Bureau to send police. After all, the nature of the Security Bureau had changed a long time ago. It was no longer the kind of bureau that put the people at heart and did everything based on the people’s life safety and national property. Instead, the work of the Security Bureau was just a guarantee to support a family and a proof of being able to survive in the end times.

In fact, what Yan Fan said sounds nonsense, but in fact, in the end times, all human resources will be used to the extreme. This extreme also means that when there is a shortage of personnel and the population base of the base is gradually increasing, unless someone is really killed, the Security Bureau will only simply make a record of theft. As for whether to investigate or not, it depends on the area and personal identity of the reporter, and then it is to measure whether this matter will bring high risks and high threats to the lace. If the danger level is less than level two, basically 100% of the police will not be dispatched.

The current base official manual stipulates that theft, robbery in the street, hooliganism, provocation, verbal disputes, hit-and-run resulting in non-fatal incidents are "level 1 incidents."

Home robbery, attempted rape, and using a weapon to threaten and cause harm to others are considered "secondary incidents."

Threatening others resulting in injury or death, rape, intentional injury resulting in death, and gathering a crowd to commit illegal robbery are considered "level three incidents."

Actions that seriously affect the development of the base, such as causing multiple casualties, terrorist attacks, cult organizations, illegal experiments, and large-scale human trafficking, are considered "Level 4 incidents."

Level 1, 2 and 3 incidents will also be judged as the basic standards for the Security Bureau to dispatch police. Basically, unless it is a "level 1 incident" that is the least worth the effort, there is a high probability that police will be dispatched for level 2 incidents or above.

However, there are also unexpected situations. For example, even if a powerful person feels embarrassed after having an argument with someone in a shopping mall, the Security Bureau will consider whether to send police if he has connections and background.

Just as Yan Fan said, precisely because reporting a crime and opening a case for investigation now require cumbersome confessions and a large amount of evidence, coupled with strict regulations, many people would rather swallow their anger than call the police. This is why certain areas outside the base are even jokingly called "no man's land" by local residents. Not only does the Security Bureau turn a blind eye, the base officials also seem to acquiesce in such a place. Unless they intend to "rebel" one day, the base can still tolerate its existence.

Liao Yunyun currently works within the base system. In fact, she is not unaware that corruption and chaos are inevitable in the circle, but other than that, she can't think of any other way to stop these criminals.

"Before they take further action, let's wait and see. And according to what you said, they are not stupid people. Maybe they have already investigated the recent decline in security in the community. Also, there must be other reasons why they did not choose a high floor to commit the crime."

This residential complex is made up of seven-story buildings. Logically, high places are the most suitable for observing the surrounding environment, but these people only choose to live on the second and third floors.

"Also, the two households whose homes were broken into did not have security doors installed." Yan Fan lifted the curtain a little with his fingertips and clearly saw that there were a total of five households with security doors installed on the opposite corridor, two on the second floor and three on the third floor. The one that was broken into had an ordinary wooden door, as could be seen from the door panels.

"Fortunately, I listened to you and replaced it with an iron door. However, it is only slightly stronger than an ordinary door. It cannot be considered a high-quality anti-theft door. If the other party sets their sights on our building, I'm worried that this door will not last long." Liao Yunyun said worriedly.

Gu Tongwan suddenly asked, "Is the apartment type on the opposite floor the same as yours?"

Liao Yunyun immediately shook her head, "No, ours is a small apartment with a single room, with a construction area of ​​about 2 square meters. Excluding the public area, there is still square meters left, so basically those who live here are young people with a limited budget or single like me. Opposite is Building , which is a medium-sized apartment with two bedrooms and a living room. I remember the construction area is square meters. Excluding the public area, it should be or square meters, at least twice as spacious as mine. Those who can live there are people with slightly better family conditions."

When I came to Liao Yunyun Community before, I asked about the situation here. The largest apartment should be the G Building, which is about 100 meters away from here. The building area of ​​the apartments there is generally about 60 square meters, and excluding the common area, there is still more than 40 square meters. Both the windows and the doors are made of stainless steel, and installment payments are not allowed. Only full payment is allowed. Except for those that had been reserved for leaders of certain government agencies and some powerful relatives before the pre-sale, there are about 30 units left for sale. I remember that the price of each unit here was between 250,000 and 300,000 points, which is roughly equivalent to 5,000 points per square meter.

This price is equivalent to that people outside the base cannot afford to buy a house even if they work for a lifetime, and the office workers in the inner circle will have to go without food and drink for at least 40 years to buy a house. It makes people think that before the end of the world, most people still became lifelong "house slaves" because of this.

However, since Building G is only inhabited by special people, the security there is basically independent from the rest of the community. The owners there raise tens of thousands of points every month to hire four people with special abilities and four staff members with security experience from a medium-sized trade union to be responsible for the security of the entire building.

However, the four psychics are only low-level C- and D-level hunters, but the other four staff members are from large-scale security companies, so they usually carry guns with them.

The reason why those biker gangs did not choose Building G was probably because they weighed the combat effectiveness there. Once the fight started, it would most likely become a protracted war and even alert the Security Bureau and the Guard Team, so they chose Building D where the security was relatively lax.

"How about this, why don't you stay at my place for the time being? My place is close to the villa area, at least if something unexpected happens, I can get the support of the Self-Defense Force in the villa in the first place. In addition, the Security Bureau over there will definitely not turn a blind eye."

Liao Yunyun was still a little hesitant at first, but when she thought of the cold light reflected by the telescope on the opposite floor last night, she felt a wave of disgust rising from her throat, so she decided not to hesitate any longer, and said with trembling bloodless lips: "Okay, I'll go with you."

While waiting for Liao Yunyun to pack her clothes, it began to rain heavily outside without any warning. The white mist produced by the chemical reaction between the toxic gases in the rain and the air slowly began to rise from the ground on the first floor.

Obviously, this time the three of them and two dogs couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

"It looks like we have to keep waiting." Gu Tongwan's tone was somewhat self-deprecating, but she still looked at her bestie and shrugged, "You continue to pack, in case the rain stops soon, but... maybe we are lucky, if you pack faster, we will have to walk in the rain."

"You are still in the mood to joke now. I am almost scared to death. We were about to be able to leave, but we were trapped here by the heavy rain. Is this God deliberately playing a trick on us? Why do I have a bad feeling that danger is coming? At this time, Liao Yunyun's mind has begun to imagine various possibilities, and she imagined all of them to be the worst.

Gu Tongwan shook his head and said with a sullen smile, "Don't worry. If the other side really sets their sights on this building, Acid Rain and the others won't be able to get through for a while. Even if they can, with Yan Fan, Aoaotutu and I here, even if we can't kill them all, we can at least keep a 50-50 chance."

Although Liao Yunyun was somewhat skeptical, she thought about how Gu Tongwan had slaughtered the mutant Saker Falcon alone in the absolute restricted area of ​​the northern forest, and how he had even managed to escape unscathed from an S-level mutant beast and even seemed to be able to crush it. Perhaps she should not underestimate her best friend too much.

"Dinner is almost here, so let's think about what to eat tonight." Gu Tongwan smiled and turned to go to the kitchen.

In fact, in Liao Yunyun's small house, the stove next to the sink is the kitchen, and it is open. Fortunately, Liao Yunyun doesn't cook much at home. Basically, she eats all kinds of fast food, such as compressed biscuits, sandwiches, bread, and canned beans or meat. Occasionally, she needs to turn on the fire just to cook noodles.

I found the tomatoes that I had given her but had not finished eating in her refrigerator, as well as some gray mutant eggs. These eggs were laid by mutant chickens bred by a research institute. The taste was no different from normal eggs, and the flavor was also unsatisfactory, with a slightly strong fishy smell. They are usually used for frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying. If boiled directly in water, the fishy smell would be so strong that it would be impossible to swallow.

He also found some noodles on the small cabinet next to the rice jar, so Gu Tongwan simply planned to fry some eggs with tomatoes for dinner, making the simplest tomato and egg noodles.

After the noodles are cooked, rinse them with cold water. This way, the noodles made from rough flour will have a slightly elastic texture. Finally, pour the marinade on them and a bowl of fragrant tomato and egg noodles is ready.

Taking advantage of the huge rain curtain formed by acid rain, the rain blocked the view between the two buildings. The mist exhausted during cooking quickly dissipated in the air, and even the fragrance was covered by the pungent smell outside.

Yan Fan and Gu Tongwan were enjoying the noodles slowly, but Liao Yunyun, on the other hand, looked very worried and it was obvious that she couldn't calm down at all.

She was about to speak when she suddenly heard the same explosion downstairs that she had heard last night, which frightened her so much that she shuddered.
