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

Just as Gu Tongwan had expected, the temperature suddenly dropped by seven or eight degrees after eleven o'clock that night. At half past eleven, Gu Tongwan was awakened by the crackling curtains in the hall. She wrapped herself in a long-sleeved singlet and nightgown and walked to the window. As a result, she shivered in the strong wind at night.

A glance at the thermometer stuck to the window showed that the outdoor temperature was only about four degrees, and coupled with the sudden change in weather and the surge of cold wind, it suddenly felt like returning to winter in the south.

It seems that the extreme cold is indeed going to start early. According to the Meteorological Bureau, it would start a week before the Chinese New Year. But now there is still half a month before the Chinese New Year and the extreme cold is about to arrive early. It is estimated that there will be a constant stream of people rushing to prepare cold-resistant products in the next two days.

I made a quick check of the warehouse's inventory to make sure there were no major problems with my current cold-weather supplies.

After entering the space, I came to the familiar system warehouse page. The product menu floating in the air emitted a white light.

When a person stands about two meters away from the menu bar, the menu bar will slowly slide down.

Heating boilers x2, smokeless carbon x20 tons, ordinary charcoal x2 tons, down jackets: men's x30 pieces, women's x35 pieces (in four sizes), outdoor cotton clothes x40 pieces (including men's and women's styles), winter bedding sets x12 sets, electric heating fans x8 sets, heating pads x5 sets, various hand and foot warmers x10 boxes (1000 stickers per box), electric blankets x20 pieces, 2 fireplaces...

Basically, all the heating supplies that could be found in the supermarket are in there, including a lot of scattered heating supplies, but the most important things have been prepared. It should not be difficult to safely get through the extreme cold, unless there are accidents or the situation is different from the last time, but I still hope that it will not happen.

Wrapping his coat tightly around himself, Gu Tongwan returned to the room and replaced the coral fleece quilt in the room with a warmer and lighter down quilt. He also took out an electric blanket and spread it on the bed, and even placed two electric heaters on both sides.

Suddenly remembering Yan Fan downstairs, she took out a new duvet and a 1.5-meter electric blanket from the space and would take them down tomorrow morning.

When I got up in the morning, I changed into quilted coral fleece pajamas, put on pure cotton long-sleeved pajamas inside, put on slippers, hugged the quilt and walked downstairs.

Yan Fan usually gets up very early. He is used to doing morning exercises. Even though there was a strong wind this morning, he still came back after running ten kilometers outside. His usually handsome face was flushed with a layer of red due to the sweat.

Following behind him were Aoao and Tutu. When he got up, the two dogs also got up. Mutant beasts sleep for a short time. Unlike humans who need to sleep at least eight hours a day, mutant beasts usually sleep no more than 4-6 hours a day. After they eat, their bodies can convert the energy into corresponding energy sources. The more advanced the mutant beasts are, the more energy sources they need, but they can also control their sleep time. Therefore, after winter, there will be more mutant beasts coming out to hunt. Mutant beasts that are willing to hibernate often choose to hibernate when they can't hunt for food, but this also has risks. Many mutant beasts usually lose their energy sources during hibernation and cannot survive.

Aoao and Tutu are high-level mutant beasts. They need to maintain four hours of sleep every day. Even if they go without sleep for two days and two nights, they just need to make up for it afterwards. Yesterday, the two dogs hunted a lot of mutant animals in the forest. Those prey have now been converted into energy sources in their bodies. No wonder they showed no interest when they were asked to eat after returning home last night.

"Here's the quilt and electric blanket for you. The temperature will only get lower in two days. Even if you turn on the air conditioner, the temperature won't rise much. It's a bit too much for you to sleep in the living room. Do you want to move to another room?"

In addition to the living room, there are two vacant rooms on the first floor. The original layout of the house was two bedrooms, one living room, and a small warehouse of five or six square meters. One of the vacant rooms was used by her to store some sundries, while the other room has been empty. It has a bed and a table, and can be moved in immediately after being cleaned up.

In the past, Yan Fan had rested on the sofa in the living room in order to facilitate training and not cause her too much trouble. However, the air has become increasingly colder recently, and it might not be appropriate to continue living in the living room.

"I can continue to sleep in the living room. It's too troublesome to have a separate room." Yan Fan didn't want to trouble her and just said with a smile.

"It's not a big deal. You're working for me now. We agreed that food and lodging would be provided. I'll put a heater in your room, which should be enough."

"It's not a big deal. You're working for me now. We agreed that food and lodging would be provided. I'll put a heater in your room, which should be enough."

The room is about ten square meters. At first, it felt like there were two rooms on each floor. In addition to the master bedroom on the second floor which is about seventeen or eighteen square meters, the remaining another room is only twelve square meters. In addition to the separate kitchen and bathroom and the small utility room in the hall on the first floor, the remaining two rooms are indeed not big, only twelve or thirteen square meters each, but there is absolutely no problem using them as bedrooms.

Yan Fan knew that Gu Tongwan was the type of person who kept her word and would not change anything she decided. Plus, if he kept being polite, it would seem a bit hypocritical. After all, he had been eating and using other people's food during this time here. Although he was doing things for her, most of the time it was more like she provided him with a place to live, but did not restrict what he really wanted to do, and even gave him space to train and grow.

Gu Tongwan cooked noodles in the morning and fried two poached eggs. He simply put homemade chili oil and scallion oil on the noodles and added some pickles. A bowl of delicious noodle soup was ready.

Yan Fan was really hungry, so he picked up the chopsticks and started eating. The bowl of noodles tasted like a delicious delicacy to him.

Gu Tongwan turned on the TV in the living room, which was broadcasting current affairs news at that time.

The news after the apocalypse is not like before, which is all about the leaders of various parties and dignitaries of major political powers. The current affairs news here is more about the current situation of Blue Star. There are hunters who go deep into the front line, staff working in scientific research institutes, and even well-known hunters from major guilds.

Unlike the traffic stars before the apocalypse, people are more concerned about mutant beasts and changes in superpowers than traffic stars.

However, there are stars in the apocalypse, but these days stars have to be supernatural stars, and they have to be built into valuable heroes in people's minds. For example, the Hunter CP launched by the Dawn Guild has attracted a lot of attention and pursuit.

At this time, the screen was reporting some basic information about Hongcheng. The third base in Hongcheng had formulated a cold-resistant plan for several years, and it also mentioned that Hongcheng had decided to expand its area by nearly ten kilometers and increase the population to 50,000.

Another station was reporting from the sixth base in the north, which was located in a northern provincial capital near the extreme cold. The temperature there was currently approaching minus thirty degrees Celsius, and the number of mutant beasts there was on a downward trend. However, according to the tracking of the guard team, it was finally determined that some of the mutant beasts had already migrated to the warmer south, while some camps of wanderer organizations outside the fifth base were attacked by many mutant beasts. Currently, the base is considering accepting and managing some of the wandering people, but at the same time, it also needs to formulate management measures for these wandering residents.

The third report is about the major bases issuing "temporary name tags" to new residents who have been in the base for less than three months. In fact, it is equivalent to a temporary ID card. During the last month after entering the base, these temporary personnel will be subject to some terms and conditions formulated by the base, and there will be a monthly assessment period before they get the official identity tag. If they cannot pay the full amount of entry fees, they will be deemed to have failed the assessment, and in the worst case, they will be expelled.

At present, there are five satellite TV channels in the base, three of which are reporting current affairs news or people's livelihood news. The fourth channel is a live broadcast channel, but since the extremely hot and acid rain periods, this channel almost only broadcasts some previous replays. The fifth channel is a movie channel, which plays some TV series that have been preserved in the past. The ones broadcast these two days are "Temptation to Go Home", "Meteor Garden" and the once popular "Dae Jang Geum". The three TV series are broadcast from eight in the morning to eleven in the evening, divided into three time periods. Each TV series can be broadcast for more than ten episodes a day, which is something that drama fans in the past would never dare to think about.

I don't know what the female stars on TV are doing now, but the love entanglement between the hero and heroine is portrayed as if it were real. Gu Tongwan never liked watching this type of TV series before, but since there were no entertainment activities in the apocalypse, he gradually accepted it and occasionally stayed at home to watch it for a whole day.

I have been busy in the forest for some time. Today I had a rare break. When I opened my phone to check messages, I saw a pile of unread messages accumulated in the past few days, whether from Liao Yunyun, Xiaoli, or even Xu Hang. There were hundreds of messages in total.

There is no other way. I was almost exhausted when I got home a few days ago, and I was still busy tidying up the soil in the backyard. I also used the evening time to set up a plastic shed outside. The soil dug from the forest is not afraid of extreme cold. When it snowed before, the big forest in the north was still green.

She has not yet poured out all the mud. She has just cleared out a small vegetable garden of about 20 square meters in the originally planned location in the backyard. She covered it with rainproof dark plastic basins filled with black mud. This time, she used nearly 30 bags of mud. The mud layer is about 12 or 13 centimeters thick. It should not be difficult to grow some simple vegetables, such as the simplest onions, coriander, leeks, lettuce and tomatoes.

A layer of black soil shoveled out from the space was spread on the black mud, about five bags in total. After mixing with the previous mud, the green onions and coriander in the space were directly planted. As for lettuce, the seeds were directly sown, but I don’t know if they can still germinate if the temperature continues to drop.

The temperature was around four degrees in the morning. It rose slightly at noon, but only to eight degrees. Gu Tongwan took some charcoal from home and rushed to Liao Yunyun's home.

Originally, Liao Yunyun was not going to go home at noon, but when she heard that Gu Tongwan had returned from the forest, she hurried back to the community in the strong wind.

Her floor is much more lively than before, with many people moving in one after another. In the apocalyptic environment, no one minds whether the house they live in is a so-called "haunted house". After all, to them, sleeping on the street seems more terrifying than living in a haunted house.

When passing through the corridor, you can hear children crying, couples fighting, and someone's TV on in other houses, the volume is so loud that you can hear the host's announcement through the door.

Liao Yunyun had left her a spare key to the house in case no one was at home when she came to look for her. Gu Tongwan knocked on the door but no one opened it. She guessed that Liao Yunyun was still on the way, so she put the charcoal in her hand at the entrance.

This time she specially picked 20 kilograms of lychee wood and 20 kilograms of smokeless charcoal, which should be enough for her for half a month. Liao Yunyun's community has not yet achieved heating equipment. In fact, the only places in the entire base that can achieve heating are the villa areas and some high-end communities. Most of the communities are still living in the early 1990s. After all, the base has just been built for less than two and a half years, and the entire base and even the world are in a reconstruction period. During this period, both the economy and technology have lagged behind, and even showed a regression. Now the residents of the base basically heat themselves at home with a small stove and throw some charcoal or coal in it. Under normal circumstances, burning two or three pounds a day is enough, but some people are poor and can only burn firewood at home. However, firewood smokes too much and can easily cause carbon monoxide poisoning, so unless they have to, few people will burn firewood for heating.

Liao Yunyun arrived late, her hair a mess like a bird's nest. She shivered as she entered the room, taking off her shoes while complaining: "It's so windy outside. It's so cold that I almost died on the way."

"The wind has been quite strong these past two days, but the temperature is still okay. It hasn't reached the coldest yet." Gu Tongwan was sitting on the sofa and browsing his phone. When he saw her come back, he said with a smile.

"Did you bring these charcoals?" Liao Yunyun saw two snakeskin bags next to the shoe rack as soon as she entered the door. She opened them and saw that they were full of charcoal. She was surprised and happy. Isn't this what it means to send charcoal in the snow?

"If you don't have it at home, just bring some over. And there's something else I need your help with." Gu Tongwan put down his phone, bent down, and then looked at her with a smile.
