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

Gu Tongwan was also quick. After cleaning up all the garbage, he called Zou Yang. Fortunately, Zou Yang actually had two newly made shelves. After selling the shelves he had, he got another batch of wood. So he thought about making some wooden shelves himself these few days. Even if he couldn't sell them for a while, he could put them in the warehouse to store other things.

What was unexpected was that just a few days after it was completed, Boss Gu wanted to buy more. Zou Yang was naturally very happy. After all, who doesn't like to make money?

After the problem with the shelves is solved, the next issue is the supply of goods. These are actually not big problems. After all, the thing that is most in short supply in the space is fruits and vegetables. But the more important thing now is to find out the thieves who came here last night.

Although Aoao and Tutu are very sensitive to smells, they cannot rely on smell to find people if the range is too large.

However, this does not mean that you cannot find the person. There is one last way, which is to release a few blood vine branches and let these new blood vines follow the remaining breath of the same root to find the target, but this will take several days.

The other one is to continue waiting for the other party. Since the other party's purpose is to attack her shop, he must not be happy to see her shop continue to operate. He will definitely come back here to check the situation later. Then she can't let the other party get what he wants. The more he doesn't want to see her business booming, the more she has to run the shop better. This incident also reminds her of the necessity of installing surveillance.

If I want to buy surveillance cameras, I have to go to the commercial street specifically to buy them. I last saw one in an electronic product store that specializes in surveillance cameras. But at that time, the store had just been opened for a short time, so I was thinking of considering this matter after recruiting a salesperson. But I didn't expect that I couldn't find a suitable salesperson, and the store was instead visited by thieves.

The news of the thief stealing the store soon spread around the neighborhood, and Gu Tongwan actually didn't want to hide it. If the public had any clues, maybe they could follow the clues to find the suspect.

After Xu Hang learned about this, he sent a message to express his concern. After he knew that this was not just a simple theft, his typing speed suddenly increased.

[Xu Hang] Thief? What kind of thief is so bold? The Hunter Association building is nearby, and there are more than a dozen guilds here. I don't think this is a simple matter. Madam Boss, I don't think this is a personal revenge.

[Gu Tongwan] It should be revenge. Everything in the store was smashed, so I can’t prepare lunch boxes for lunch today.

[Xu Hang] If I find out who that bastard is, I will never let him off. By the way, boss lady, if you need help with this matter, just let me know.

[Gu Tongwan] There is indeed one thing I need your help with.

[Xu Hang] No matter what, as long as it is within my ability, there will be absolutely no problem.

[Gu Tongwan] It’s like this. In the next two days, I would like to ask your guild to check the surveillance for me, because the surveillance was just installed this afternoon. At that time, I will send the surveillance images to your mobile phone, or I will tell you the password of the surveillance cloud.

Xu Hang was stunned for a moment after seeing this message, but thinking that the guild did not arrange too many tasks during this period, coupled with the severe damage in the recent period and the gradually cooling weather, the president seemed to have planned to suspend all field tasks, at least until after the Chinese New Year before assigning new work.

If you just want to check the surveillance, it’s not that difficult and you can watch it in the dormitory.

Just when I was about to send a message to reply to the other party, I saw Gu Tongwan’s latest message.

[Gu Tongwan] Don't worry, I will pay you, but not too high, probably about 50 points a day. Two people should be enough to watch this surveillance.

[Xu Hang] What are you talking about? Can I charge you for this? What kind of people would we be if that were the case?

[Gu Tongwan] We can't ask you to help us all the time. It's better to make it clear. Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to ask you for help next time.

After seeing this sentence, Xu Hang really thought about it. In fact, she was right. Some things cannot be done just out of enthusiasm. It is actually reasonable for the husband to receive a certain amount of compensation for his efforts. Fifty points are not too high, but he would not feel at ease if he accepted the money.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Hang sent the message.

[Xu Hang] How about this, we don't need to pay the money. Just charge 50 yuan for two lunch boxes. Next time when the lunch boxes are delivered, the boss lady can just give us a few more according to the points we should have paid.

[Gu Tongwan] Sure. If you like, I will leave more lunch boxes for you next time. I promise that the price will not increase even if the quantity is increased.

[Xu Hang] That’s great. I will tell my brothers the good news right away. Don’t worry, the surveillance will not miss any footage.

After confirming this, Gu Tongwan hurriedly drove to the commercial street, where he bought four surveillance cameras at once, and with the corresponding equipment, he spent nearly 8,000 points in total.

Although it hurts to spend a lot of money, I thought that surveillance would be essential when opening a store in the future, so I gritted my teeth and bought it.

There is a surveillance camera installed inside and outside the store, one under the eaves about ten meters outside the store, and the last one is installed on the left side of the store.

When Gu Tongwan was installing the camera, he met Zhang Rong and Liu Wanrou who had just returned from buying cold-proof products.

The two asked casually after seeing Gu Tongwan, and found out about the theft and vandalism last night. Zhang Rong immediately frowned and said, "Thieves are too rampant these days. There are so many hunter guilds nearby, and someone still dares to commit a crime here?"

"What's the big deal? Winter is almost here, and it's almost Chinese New Year. The thief must have money in his pocket to celebrate the New Year. But what I don't understand is, why did he have to smash other people's shops when he just wanted to steal things?" Liu Wanrou looked at the deep scratch on the newly painted table and the empty shelves, and felt more and more that there was something fishy about this matter.

"Isn't it? I also think that someone might have done this intentionally behind the scenes!" Zhang Rong was just guessing at first, but she didn't want to criticize without any evidence. But when she heard that Liu Wanrou actually had the same idea, she also agreed.

"Maybe I accidentally offended someone. After all, it's inevitable to make enemies when doing business. Or maybe it's competition from the same industry." Gu Tongwan actually had a vague guess in his mind, but before there was any definite physical evidence, he could only continue to follow what the two said.

Liu Wanrou curled her lips, as if she couldn't stand what was said, and immediately retorted: "You can't say that. If everyone is like this, who in this world would dare to do business? Besides, Boss Gu, you've only opened your store for a short time, and you've encountered this situation. I think someone is clearly holding a grudge. I'm just saying this in front of you and you can listen. I have no evidence anyway, but I just can't help but speak out." After stopping, Liu Wanrou even glanced around, and only after making sure that there was no one outside did she deliberately lower her voice.

"Boss Gu, do you still remember the clerk who was fired yesterday?"

When Gu Tongwan heard Liu Wanrou mention this, his heart sank. He was not surprised but rather surprised that Liu Wanrou had also noticed this.

Zhang Rong next to her didn't interrupt, probably because she hadn't thought about it that deeply.

"That clerk seems to have a bad temper. She seemed quite upset when she was fired yesterday. But does this have anything to do with her?"

Liu Wanrou said noncommittally, "It's hard to say. Yesterday I saw her mumbling something before she left. And you didn't notice at the time. She seemed to be sending a message to someone. I just happened to peek. I didn't peek on purpose. I seemed to see some words like venting anger or revenge." When she said this, she was worried that Gu Tongwan and Zhang Rong wouldn't believe her, so her voice became a little anxious. "I swear I didn't say this. My eyesight has always been good. Plus, I happened to be standing in the direction where her back was facing, so I accidentally saw it."

"But this doesn't prove that she had someone do this, right?" Zhang Rong didn't rush to draw a conclusion. After all, evidence is needed for everything. At present, this is only Liu Wanrou's one-sided statement. In addition, Liu Wanrou had a conflict with the clerk yesterday, so it is not ruled out that she said this with some targeted purpose.

"There is no evidence, so I just said it casually. It may also be that the girl was fired and sent a complaint message to her friends. You just listen to it." Liu Wanrou smiled awkwardly, but there was obviously some disapproval in her eyes. She believed that Zhou Xiaojuan could do such a thing. That girl didn't look simple. It would not be surprising if she joined forces with outsiders to take down the boss's store.

Zou Yang delivered the goods very quickly, and the shelves were delivered around three in the afternoon. Gu Tongwan closed the rolling door and restocked the shelves. At four-thirty in the afternoon, he took down the "Temporarily Closed" sign outside.

Four-thirty is the time when most people go to buy groceries. At this time, many people have just got off work or were unable to grab discounted vegetables in the morning, so they can only wait for the second wave of discounted vegetables to be put on the shelves in the afternoon. Among them, many people nearby have been buying groceries at Gu Tongwan's store during this period, because they saw that the store was closed this morning and therefore did not buy any vegetables. Now that they see the store has reopened, they come in one after another to buy.

Some regular customers were buying vegetables while asking about what had happened in the past two days. Some of them probably heard that the store was smashed last night, and they all started talking about it. Some suggested that Gu Tongwan call the police immediately, some said they would help Gu Tongwan find someone to solve the case, and some started to speculate on conspiracy theories, suspecting that someone had been eyeing Gu Tongwan's fruit and vegetable store from the beginning.

Faced with such a situation, Gu Tongwan could only smile bitterly and agree that fortunately the loss was not too great, and only the shelves were damaged.

Before leaving at night, he deliberately left three blood vine branches in the store, and even asked Aoao and Tutu to smell these blood vines carefully. If those people were really targeting his store, they would definitely commit crimes again once they knew that the store was still operating normally. Therefore, he asked Aoao and Tutu to remember the smell of the blood vines in the store. Once the blood vines were still within range, Aoao and Tutu could use their mental power to sense the approximate location of the blood vine branches.

————In a rental house in the outer circle.

The chicken coop man had been missing for nearly a day. Normally, even if he went out to pick up girls, he would come back in the afternoon. But this time, what was unexpected was that he had been missing from noon to around nine o'clock in the evening.

The smoking man opened two cans of meat and took a puff of low-quality cigarettes sold individually before saying to the masked man, "Forget it, don't wait for this guy. The black market can't wait. Let's go first."

"It's really weird. Could this guy have died in some woman's belly? Logically, he doesn't have the money to have fun?" The masked man still didn't quite believe that the chicken coop man would give up the opportunity to make money in the black market to find a woman. Besides, everyone's pockets were empty, so where did he get the spare money?

"Never mind. Originally, you and he each got 20% of the profits tonight. Since he's not here, then he'll get 10%. It's his fault for not doing any work at all. You want to take the money? Dream on!" The smoking man twisted off the cigarette butt in his hand, his eyes a little fierce.

The masked man was naturally delighted when he heard that his income would increase by 10%. If he could earn about a thousand points tonight, he would get 300 points, which was almost as much as half a month's income when he was stealing and muddling around.

The masked man and the smoking man rushed to the black market on their motorcycles. Because it was the first black market in winter, although the temperature was very low at night, there was still a constant stream of people coming to this black market.

After all, everyone has an idea in mind. If extreme cold really comes in the future, the black market will probably not be able to operate normally for a long time, and many people will lose some of their income. For this reason, everyone is trying their best to make a fortune tonight.

It was already half past ten in the evening when the two arrived. Today's black market was open from nine to two in the morning, and the number of people coming was at least double that of usual. In addition to the people in the base, there were also many people who came from various wanderer bases.

Looking at the crowded scene, the smoking man bit his cheek and a smile instantly appeared in his eyes.

It looks like I can do a big business tonight, as the goods I brought out will definitely be in great demand.

Just as the smoking man thought, the goods in his hand were sold for nearly three thousand points in the evening. Fortunately, the weather was cold, and the vegetables in the snakeskin bags were sold out quickly. Moreover, he only took potatoes and tomatoes that were easy to preserve. Within less than half an hour of setting up the stall, nearly a dozen people came forward to inquire about the price, so the two were really excited to be able to sell out the goods in advance.

When the two returned, the lights in the room were still off, which meant that the chicken coop man had not returned yet.

"Tsk, brother, I feel like something is wrong. He shouldn't have anywhere to go in such a cold day. Could something have happened to him?"

"What could possibly happen to him at such an age? Let's look for him tomorrow morning." The smoking man didn't care where the chicken coop man went. In his mind, the only thing left was the money he earned tonight. He even felt a little sorry that the black market was only open for one day, otherwise if he sold everything in the other snakeskin bag in the room, he should be able to make twice as much.

They forgot about the incident with the chicken coop man, but the next day the smoking man received a call from Zhou Xiaojuan. Before the smoking man could say a few words of flattery, the other party started to curse him.

"Didn't you say that the store had been smashed? Are you trying to make fun of me?"
