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

The loud noise was about a hundred meters away from here, and white smoke could be clearly seen rising in the forest not far away.

"That seems to be a signal for help. It's probably that the hunter who entered the forest encountered danger and is sending a rescue message to the outside world." Yan Fan stood up and squinted at the white smoke that was faintly visible in the sky through the intertwined branches of the broad-leaved forest.

"Hunters who can enter the danger zone should be quite strong. If they really encounter danger, it only means that the target of their attack is a tough guy and we can't help." Gu Tongwan's tone was not too anxious, but rather calm. After all, she didn't know the other party and had no friendship with him, and people who entered the danger zone should be mentally prepared for "going but not coming back" in advance. For this reason, she didn't plan to join in the fun, nor did she plan to help.

"If it is really an advanced mutant beast, we should leave here as soon as possible." Yan Fan pursed his lips and quickly made a judgment.

"Well, let's go." Gu Tongwan patted the head of the dog next to her, and the two dogs immediately stopped licking their fur and looked up at her.

Because the two of them had exhausted a lot of their physical strength, they could only rely on Aoao and Tutu to carry them through the forest when they went back.

However, the soil and branches that had been piled up before had not been taken back yet, so she could only return to the original place and tie the things on Aoao and Tutu. She went back and forth three or four times, and it took almost forty minutes to transport all the things. After that, she and Yan Fan's physical strength was half restored, and they left the forest before the sun set.

On the other side, the people from the three major guilds who had managed to survive and escape to another place were no longer able to continue fighting. They had just escaped from the mutated bushes, but accidentally encountered the carnivorous plants that prey on prey. These carnivorous plants seemed to be able to sense the breath of living creatures. No matter from which direction they attacked these carnivorous plants, they would spit out a strange mucus. This mucus was corrosive, and both metal and other substances would immediately dissolve under the strong acid-corrosive mucus.

"A-grade man-eating dahlia, why would this thing appear in the danger zone? Shouldn't this be a plant near the Death Valley?" A hunter who had once entered the Death Valley and luckily survived shouted in horror as he looked at the large black flower in front of him that was more than one meter tall and whose petals, when unfolded, could reach a diameter of almost one and a half meters.

The "Man-Eating Dahlia" is recorded in the encyclopedia of advanced mutant plants printed and published by the base. This flower likes a humid environment and is extremely sensitive to the temperature and smell of the outside world. The most important thing is that the food of this plant comes from other mutant beasts or mutant insects in the forest. When the petals open, they will release a strong acid corrosive mucus, and they will also use this mucus to kill prey. In most cases, the petals are closed, but if they want to eat or want to catch prey, they will open the petals.

Xu Hang, who was not far away, endured the pain and sprinkled disinfectant powder on the wound, then drank a bottle of energy liquid, and this time he felt a little better.

His injury was relatively minor. Lao Bi and Xiao Chen were more seriously injured than him, especially Lao Bi, who was splashed with the liquid from the carnivorous plant on his arm. A hole the size of half a fist immediately appeared there, and one could even see the bones inside from the turned flesh and blood.

"Damn it, I thought I could escape the white fog, but then a mutated bush appeared. After I finally managed to escape from the bush, here comes this carnivorous plant. I don't know if I can leave this damn place today." Xiao Chen had a minor injury in his abdomen and various abrasions on his face and legs, but fortunately, they were not serious.

"Okay, stop yelling. Let's save our energy and think about how to leave here later. I think this operation has dealt a huge blow to everyone. Look at those people from the Red Flag Guild. They just lost two A-level hunters, and even their captain was injured. I think we can't rely on others. We still have to find a way ourselves." Xu Hang tightened the bandage on his arm and looked at the people from other guilds with gritted teeth.

There were originally more than seventy of them before they entered the bushes, but now there are less than forty left.

What's even more ironic is that originally the three major guilds sent out a total of nearly a hundred hunters, but by now at least half of them have been lost.

The situation of the Sailing Guild was slightly better, or perhaps they were just lucky, none of the eight of them died in those two distress incidents, and although some were seriously injured, at least they managed to save their lives.

"If we are separated from the main force, we will have no chance of survival. At least there are many people here, and many high-level psychics. We can still survive when necessary." Lao Bi let out a long sigh. He just took a painkiller, and his whole spirit was slightly relieved. However, this painkiller alone cost him nearly a thousand points, and he had to rely on his acquaintances to buy it. After all, after the end of the world, major pharmaceutical factories lacked large-scale equipment, and the difficulty of manufacturing medicines increased. Medicines are basically only supplied to a small number of senior executives and privileged people. It can be said that this industry has been completely controlled by the powerful, and even various medicines are no longer open to the public. Ordinary people who want to see a doctor can only wait in line or find ways to buy some over-the-counter drugs.

The price of prescription drugs has now risen to between over a thousand and several thousand points. Once a person gets sick, they can only endure it or wait to die.

Lao Bi's painkiller was hard to come by in the first place, so he is even more reluctant to give it up now. However, compared with his own life at the moment, his life is of course more important.

"This damn place! We thought we'd be fine after escaping the weird white fog, but we ran into this weird bush and now there's the Piranha Plant. Damn, our luck is so bad." Xiao Chen couldn't help complaining while he was dealing with the wound on his lower abdomen. He had just been hit by the branches of the dahlia, which even had barbs on them. As a result, a more than ten-centimeter cut was made on his lower abdomen. Fortunately, the wound was relatively shallow, so he just needed to sprinkle some disinfectant powder on it and take a sedative and anti-inflammatory pill.

"By the way, Xu Hang, how much medicine do we have left?" Lao Bi suddenly thought of this question. When they came in the morning, each of them brought some energy liquid, but medicines have always been distributed on demand by the guild every month. Usually there is only one shared medicine box, which contains some basic medicines for field staff, but they are all bandages and some anti-inflammatory and antiviral potions. Oral analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs are personal belongings, and many people are not willing to take out such items easily.

Xu Hang hurriedly took several gulps of water. There was no shortage of water in the forest, and the air was humid, so even if there was no stream to be found, he could collect dew on the leaves. So he didn't feel bad about drinking water. Instead, they were more worried about food supply, especially in this situation when everyone was starving and they didn't know how long they could last with the food in their backpacks.

After taking a quick inventory of the supplies in the backpack, Xu Hang's face instantly turned ugly. He probably didn't expect that he only had so few things left in his hands.

"There is still one tablet of painkiller left, but the anti-inflammatory medicine is gone. There are still two rolls of bandages and a bottle of disinfectant." With a slight sigh, Xu Hang felt more and more that he might not be able to get out of the forest today.

Xiao Chen next to him also said: "I have already used the painkillers. I still have some anti-inflammatory drugs. All I have left is half a bottle of disinfectant and some bandages."

"Me too. All we have left are bandages and disinfectant." Another guild member said at this time.

Lao Bi glanced at his backpack. He only had some bandages left. Even the disinfectant had just been used up for cleaning the wound. If the wound continued to worsen and fester, he would have to continue using medication. If everyone was injured by then, who would be willing to take out their own medicine?

"Where is the food? How much is left?" Lao Bi continued to ask while enduring the pain.

"We were in a hurry to leave this morning, so we only brought limited things. I guess there isn't much dry food left now." Xu Hang emptied his backpack. There were only two pieces of chocolate, two bags of compressed biscuits, and some dried meat inside.

The situation of the others was also not that good. They only had some dried meat and compressed biscuits left. Only Xiao Chen took some extra chocolate when he left because he was greedy.

"Why do you have so many chocolates? Aren't these things quite expensive?" another colleague couldn't help but tease.

Xiao Chen touched his nose and smiled bitterly, feeling a little embarrassed: "I liked a girl from the neighboring guild before, so I went to the trading center to buy her, spending several thousand points. I was thinking of giving her away after I confessed my love to her..." The more he spoke, the more miserable his expression became. Outsiders would immediately know that this confession would end in failure.

Another young colleague immediately laughed and joked, "It was Christmas Day. I asked you out for a drink that day, but you refused with a smug look on your face. It turns out you had a date with a girl that night. Who was it this time? Was it Xiao Yuan or Xiao Chen from the Dawn Guild?"

"You are willing to spend money on this. We usually don't want to buy this chocolate. One chocolate costs more than a hundred points. Your packaging looks like a high-end product, so it must be not cheap." Someone also joked.

I guess this incident touched Xiao Chen's sore spot. Xiao Chen immediately said with a sullen face: "Well, don't mention it. If I knew the result, I wouldn't have spent that money in vain." He even seemed a little indignant when he said the last part. It seems like there is a story behind it.

"What's wrong? Is there something hidden?"

"Please explain yourself clearly. We are all in so much pain. We are just waiting for your story to relieve our boredom and relieve our emotions."

Xiao Chen glanced at the others unhappily, then sneered, "You guys are using my sad story as a tool for entertainment, right?"

"Hey, don't say that. Everyone is in a bad mood. Maybe your story can improve everyone's mood."

After hearing what his colleague said, Xiao Chen swallowed back the traditional Chinese quintessence sentence that was originally stuck in his throat.

"I confessed my feelings to her that day, but she said she was married with kids. She only treated me as a friend even though she had a good relationship with me at first." Xiao Chen took a deep breath, and then his face suddenly became indignant: "In fact, she just treated me as a side dish. It is said that she had a big fight with her boyfriend at that time, and she just treated me as a backup when she happened to meet me. I was the only one who didn't know about it from beginning to end. Everyone in her guild knew about it. No wonder every time I went to give her fruit, the people over there always had a wicked smile. Damn, they are all newbies!"

"Tsk, isn't this just like raising fish in a fish pond? And you've become quite fat. But listen to me, brother. It's good that you cut your losses in time before you become completely obsessed. Although this girl had ulterior motives at the beginning, fortunately she didn't continue to play with you in the end. If you really meet the Sea King, you will probably lose everything, not even your underwear."

"Hey, I wonder if you guys know how to comfort others. I'm the one who was cheated, why are you guys acting like you're gloating?" Xiao Chen stared at the others in disbelief.

Xu Hang was also amused at this time, so he patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Aren't we all saying this because we care about you? Besides, you haven't given away the chocolate yet, and it's all going to go into your stomach anyway, so there's nothing to regret. If you can get out alive today, we will accompany you to squat downstairs to look for pretty girls, and we will find a pretty one for you."

"That's right, Lao Bi, I remember that my sister-in-law's cousin is very pretty, how about introducing her to Xiao Chen?"

In the past, Lao Bi would have definitely shaken his head and refused outright, but now seeing that everyone's mood and emotions had warmed up a lot, he nodded and said, "Okay, as long as everyone can get out alive, I will introduce my cousin to Xiao Chen."

Xiao Chen was stunned by what he said, but after a while he smiled and tilted his neck, leaning his body against the tree trunk, "Forget about the girlfriend. If I can really get out alive, I still want to eat the boxed lunch near the community. Xu Hang, can you ask the boss lady to reserve a few more for me?"

It would be fine if we didn't talk about this. As soon as we talked about it, everyone started to recall the taste of the lunch box, and their mouths secreted more saliva. They couldn't wait to fight their way back to the base and eat and drink to their heart's content.

Xu Hang never expected that Xiao Chen was still thinking about the lunch box, and he said with a smile: "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about these things."

"Food is the first necessity of the people. If you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. If you can't even satisfy your appetite, why would you want a girlfriend? Anyway, no matter what, I have to work hard until the last minute for this lunch."

After seeing that everyone had recovered from their jokes, Lao Bi said to Xu Hang, "If you really want to separate your share from the major guilds, then do it when we set out later."

Xu Hang was just about to nod when he saw a black figure jumping out from the side closest to the bushes in front of him and rushing towards the crowd at an extremely fast speed.

Originally, everyone was resting in place and in a relaxed state. In addition, this thing hit them silently, and even its breath could not be detected. Therefore, when Xu Hang was about to open his mouth to remind them, it was too late. The thing swallowed one of their heads in one bite.
