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

There are more than just the "Far Voyage Guild" that have entered the northern forest. Since the temperature has gradually dropped in the past two days, the major guilds have also begun to take action.

Firstly, they want to occupy the last resources (mutant beasts) before the extreme cold comes. Secondly, recently a medium-sized tide of mutant beasts has gradually formed in the northern forest, and the traces of animal activities in the forest are more active than in the previous few months. In addition, drones that have penetrated deep into the junction of the danger zone and the Death Valley have monitored from the air that the plants in the Death Valley have a tendency to spread to both sides.

Secondly, many rare mutant beasts were found in the forest. For example, the "three-tailed fox" that their guild was hunting this time was a rare mutant beast.

A total of eight hunters who stayed in the office of the "Far Voyage Guild" immediately made corresponding preparations, especially Xu Hang, who did not care too much. He opened the drawer and took out several bottles of "energy potions". These were all supplied by the Hunter Association to each Hunter Guild before. The larger the guild, the more "energy potions" it can get. A medium-sized guild like the "Far Voyage Guild" can get about two boxes of such "energy potions" every quarter. If it is a large guild, basically there will be at least five or six boxes a quarter.

"Energy agent" can restore some of the psychic's physical strength in a short period of time. Unlike "nutrient solution", it cannot improve superpowers while restoring energy. However, "energy agent" does not have any side effects, and its main production material is a special energy stone. Currently, the price of a bottle of "energy agent" on the market is between one hundred and fifty and two hundred points, while the "nutrient solution" that can improve superpowers in a short period of time has been sold for between five hundred and one thousand points. After all, the material of the "nutrient solution" is crystal core, and the higher the level of the crystal core, the higher the price of the "advanced nutrient solution" made from it.

At the same time as Xu Hang and others set out, the "Red Flag Guild", "White Cloud Guild", "Beehive Guild" and several large guilds in the same building also set out at the same time.

Not only the large guilds, but also the small guilds that had learned of the activities of the special mutant beasts in the northern forest and various civilian hunters began to take action. In an instant, dozens of teams set out for the northern forest.

Inner Villa Area

Liu Hun was sitting in front of the computer and sending a message to a hunter he was familiar with. After a while, he smiled and said, "It seems that the northern forest is bustling this time."

"Everyone you know went there?" Geng Zimo raised his eyebrows slightly, quite curious.

"Of course I went. How could I not go? It is said that the mutant beasts that appeared this time are relatively rare, not to mention the three-tailed fox, there are also the colorful flamingo and the split-mouthed crocodile. Although they are only A-level mutant beasts, they can continue to transform. Their research value is no less than that of the demon species. More importantly, these mutant beasts should not appear in Jiangcheng. Now, not to mention the Hunter Guild, I'm afraid that the people above our base are also ready to move." Liu Hun pointed his finger upwards, obviously expressing the meaning of the base.

Xu Qingzhi, who was standing next to them, couldn't help but ask after hearing their conversation: "The guard team has sent some people out, so don't we have to follow them?"

"What's the point of following them? There are too many monks and too little meat. Besides, are those mutant beasts so easy to hunt? Not to mention the Valley of Death, how many of them can really come out alive? This beast tide only occurred in the forest but there is no trend of spreading to the south. This means that there must be something in the forest now." Ye Ziqiu threw the knife and fork in his hand aside without comment. This breakfast was really tasteless. The smell of pork was too strong. All the meat was purchased from the trading center. The price was quite high, but the taste was really hard to describe.

Ye Ziqiu felt like she hadn't eaten well for two or three days in a row, so her mood was extremely bad.

Ever since she had eaten the braised meat made by the proprietress and future captain's wife, Ye Ziqiu found that she was becoming more and more picky.

At this time, Fang Tang and Chen Yanxi were discussing the mission plan for the next few days in the bedroom.

"Shen Lian's behavior has been very strange recently. He has been in frequent contact with Zhang Zhijun. According to news from his acquaintances in the capital, Zhang Zhijun may move to a new position after the New Year. Shen Lian probably has ideas about the position of base commander."

"The Shen family is currently restricted in their actions in the capital, and the faction in Jiangcheng has not yet taken shape. He should want to transfer part of the Shen family's power here. In this way, Jiangcheng may become the second power center of the Shen family."

"It doesn't matter. Even if the Shen family sets their sights on Jiangcheng, it won't change the current situation in Jiangcheng."

Fang Tang nodded, and his eyes, which were usually full of smiles, suddenly became fierce.

——The Great Forest in the North

When Gu Tongwan and Yan Fan first arrived at the northern forest, they discovered that there were many cars parked outside the safe zone, most of which were large pickup trucks.

"In the past two days, more and more logging teams have entered the forest. It is estimated that the logging resources in the safe zone will be basically saturated in about a week." Yan Fan couldn't help but said this as he looked at the team that was still logging not far away.

In fact, it is not that the trees in the big forest in the north cannot support the felling of trees by the logging teams in a short period of time, but that there are more and more logging teams at present, and the growth rate of the forest cannot keep up in a short period of time. Another point is that not all trees in the safe zone are suitable for making charcoal. Some trees have a low burning point and produce odor when burning. If humans use them indoors for a long time, they are prone to respiratory diseases. Therefore, the logging teams can only select those raw trees that are suitable for processing into charcoal.

There are more trees to choose from in the safe zone, but the safe zone is undoubtedly a natural hunting ground for ordinary people and low-level psychics. The only difference is that the prey has become humans, and if they venture in, they will undoubtedly be courting death. Therefore, even if there are psychics in the logging team, they dare not rashly enter the danger zone.

"We'll probably need a few hundred kilograms of raw branches today, so we can exchange them for about a hundred kilograms of charcoal. We can buy some more later, so we don't have to worry about running out of charcoal at home."

In the past few days, she and Yan Fan have been going back and forth in the danger zone, and have picked up quite a few raw tree branches. Together with the number purchased, there are now seven or eight bags of charcoal piled in the corner of the yard, weighing about three or four hundred kilograms, which is enough to support her for nearly a month. Besides, she has other coal in her space, and if all else fails, she can use electric heaters. Unless the extreme cold persists for several years, it will be no problem to support her for half a year to a year. In addition, the big forest in the north is not always inaccessible. Even in the extremely cold period, as long as you can enter the danger zone, you can still get tree branches. The base should currently have a lot of storage, but by then the price is expected to increase several times.

The car could still only drive to an open area near the safe zone. In order to distinguish the two dogs from wild mutant beasts, Gu Tongwan put collars on the two dogs before going out. The collars were engraved with the Chinese names of Ao Ao and Tu Tu. She had specially gone to a mutant beast pet shop near the commercial street to customize them, and spent nearly 500 points. In this way, at least the two dogs would not be hunted as mutant beasts when they were free.

Although they were wearing collars, there was no guarantee that there would be no one who coveted the mutant beasts' powerful crystal cores and energy. In addition, the two dogs had shiny fur, so many people might want to take their fur. Therefore, Gu Tongwan specially placed a branch of blood vines on each of the two dogs, so that he could sense the emotional changes of the two dogs within a certain range.

"If any danger occurs, avoid it temporarily and don't engage in head-on confrontation." Gu Tongwan stroked Aoao's head and whispered.

Mutated beasts above level A are intelligent creatures. Their behavior and thinking ability are at least at the level of human toddlers, and they can fully understand some simple instructions and commands.

But Aoao is simple by nature. Although he understood what was said, in his perception, this forest is not dangerous at all. Instead, everything is fresh and interesting. Therefore, he just rubbed his palm against Gu Tongwan's, enjoying the moment when his master caressed him.

But Tutu, who was always aloof, shook his head and glanced at his younger brother with contempt. Then he walked to Gu Tongwan, rubbed his head against Gu Tongwan's waist, then took a step back and squatted. The meaning was very clear, he was obeying orders.

Ao-ao didn't take his brother's disdainful look seriously at all. The child was used to being heartless. After rubbing Gu Tongwan's palm enough, he ran to Tu-tu with a satisfied look, sticking out his tongue.

The expression on Yan Fan's face twitched uncontrollably. You know, these two dogs bullied him a lot when they were doing confrontation training with him. After all, he is only a C-level psychic at the moment. The two dogs can easily crush him, and when they start hunting in the forest, the two dogs are extremely ferocious. Every time they set their sights on the prey, they will never let go until it is dead. And their cruel and bloodthirsty appearance is very different from the docile and well-behaved appearance in front of him.

After receiving the order, the two dogs ran away without a trace, but in fact, the two dogs were also very smart. They would generally stay within a range of about 500 meters from Gu Tongwan. Dogs are extremely sensitive to scents. Advanced mutant beasts like Aoao and Tutu could sense Gu Tongwan's presence from several kilometers away. If their master was in danger, they could rush over in a short time.

Seeing the two dogs running away unable to restrain themselves, Gu Tongwan could only hold his forehead helplessly. These two dogs were really playful. As expected, the area of ​​several acres of space was not enough for them to build. It was rare for them to go out during this period, and the forest was simply a large playground for them. Unlike when they were in the base and were bound by various rules, here they could release their nature and hunt the prey they wanted at will.

This time, Gu Tongwan entered the forest not only to obtain a certain amount of raw branches and continue digging mud, but also to hunt some B to A level mutant beasts. After all, the system space still needed crystal cores to upgrade.

Today is really a tight schedule and a heavy task...

The two entered the danger zone as planned. When they passed through a small broad-leaved forest in front, the logging teams on both sides couldn't help but turn around and cast curious glances at the brother and sister.

"Are these two young men heading towards the dangerous area?" One of the middle-aged men, who was sweating from felling trees and wearing only a white work vest, couldn't help but say to the man squatting next to him smoking.

The smoking man slowly blew out a puff of smoke, then set his gaze on Gu Tongwan. Looking at her slim and graceful figure, a little impatience flashed through his heart, but it soon turned into a contemptuous smile.

"She has a good figure, at least full marks, with a thin waist and long legs, and her height is also acceptable." The man commented lightly, but his tone was very frivolous, as if he was commenting on a commodity.

The man holding the axe next to him didn't respond, but after a while he reminded him: "Zhang Da, don't do anything unnecessary, don't think too much, don't you see that he has entered the danger zone? He is probably a superpower, and his level may not be low." If he is not a B-level superpower, who dares to enter the danger zone? Ordinary people like them can only cut down trees in the forest at the junction of the safe zone and the dangerous zone. If they accidentally encounter a ferocious large mutant beast, they have to think of a way to escape.

In fact, these two people are from the same logging team and from another wanderer base.

In fact, in addition to the Jiangcheng base, the black market base and the wanderer base camp, there are also many small camps composed of wanderers or free hunters. The number of people generally ranges from dozens to hundreds. They usually choose a place to enclose or occupy a part of the available space in a county town, and then live together there. It is currently known that except for the wanderer base camp with the largest population, the population of other small camps has exceeded three or four thousand, and even become villages of broken scale. These wanderer camps are collectively called "wanderer bases" outside, which makes it easier to distinguish them from the "wanderer base camps" with a population of tens of thousands.

Although there has been no specific statistics, it is said that there are more than a dozen so-called "wanderer bases" outside.

The logging team to which these two men belonged had a total of more than twenty people today, all of whom set out from the Wanderer Base. There were only three psychics in the group, but they were all of the lowest level F. Therefore, before setting out this time, these people could only carry some handy tools as self-defense weapons. Occasionally, some people had hot weapons, but because they cherished bullets, they would only fire a shot when their lives were threatened.

Zhang Da is one of them, but he is uneducated and selfish. He was driven out of the wanderer base at the beginning, and then joined the current wanderer base.

"I don't think so. If they were really high-level psychics, it would be impossible for two of them to enter the forest. They are probably a young master and a little princess who came from nowhere to the forest to have fun."

"This... Even if that's the case, there must be someone powerful behind them. You'd better not have any bad ideas. Have you forgotten how you were kicked out of the camp before?" The companion was about to continue persuading him, but he saw Zhang Da sneer and turn around and walk away, obviously not taking his words to heart.

"Hey, good words can't persuade a ghost who is looking for death."
