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

Speaking of which, Zhou Xiaojuan was really bored in the afternoon, and thinking of the fact that Gu Tongwan's store had been smashed, she was very happy. It happened that the two sisters who had a good relationship with each other made an appointment to stroll in the commercial street near the main urban area and buy some cold-weather supplies.

Zhou Xiaojuan hasn't been to the city for a while. Although she lives in the outer circle, she is actually still some distance away from the city center. She even put on some makeup when she went out, thinking that if she could meet a nice boy, she could approach him and deliberately strike up a conversation with him.

Although the temperature was only five or six degrees in the afternoon, Zhou Xiaojuan still endured the cold and wore only a leather jacket, the so-called leg-revealing artifact underneath, and a pair of long boots before going out.

In the last days, few people would dress so fashionably, or it could be said that people’s minds were not focused on dressing up, but among a small number of powerful and wealthy people with good family backgrounds, there were also many people who dressed elegantly.

Zhou Xiaojuan's best friend is the eldest daughter of a leader of a unit in the base. When she goes out, she always wears ready-made clothes specially tailored by tailors in the capital. The price of a single piece is equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary person in the inner circle. The better coats are even made of the fur of mutant animals, and are even more valuable.

Although Zhou Xiaojuan always felt inferior when she was with her good friend, she just needed to maintain a good relationship with her. After all, when they went out, all the food and entertainment were paid for by her. Naturally, she was reluctant to let go of this big fat fish.

After arriving at the commercial street in a blue BMW driven by the other party's private driver, the other party busily began to choose clothes in a high-end clothing store.

When we were shopping until about 5:00 p.m., my friend suddenly said, "My cousin just sent me a message saying that she would be working overtime tonight and asked me to bring her some braised food. I know there is a famous one on Shangmao Street. I'll buy some and bring it over later."

Although Zhou Xiaojuan was not very happy, she never dared to refuse in front of this friend, so she had to agree.

Unexpectedly, my friend’s cousin works in the same office building as Xu Hang and is said to be the head of the finance department of a large hunting company.

When the two were leaving, my friend's cousin gave them a bag of apples and said with a smile, "These are from the fruit and vegetable store downstairs. You can try them. I guarantee you will never forget them after you have tasted them."

"It's just an apple, but we're acting like we've never eaten one before, cousin. I thought you were giving me something good."

"I guarantee that you will ask me where I bought it right after you finish eating it." My cousin joked with a smile, and she was very confident in the gift she gave.

"Isn't that exaggerated? But the apples you picked are really good. They look fresh, big in size, and smell good." As soon as he opened the bag slightly, the rich fruity aroma hit him in the face.

The two of them were chatting idly and didn't notice Zhou Xiaojuan's surprised expression at all.

Before Zhou Xiaojuan's suspicion intensified, her friend had already pestered her for the address of the fruit and vegetable store.

"Turn left after you exit the office gate and walk about a minute or less than a hundred meters. You will see a fruit and vegetable store in front of you, facing a large flower bed. There is also a car repair shop a few dozen meters away."

The information her cousin gave her made Zhou Xiaojuan's face darken instantly. She was certain that this fruit and vegetable store was the one where she had tried out her job yesterday.

But the smoking man clearly told me that he smashed the store last night, so how could he still be open for business today?

My friend, on the other hand, was eager to go to the fruit and vegetable store to buy some more fruits. After biting into an apple on the way, her eyes lit up and she pulled Zhou Xiaojuan downstairs.

It was only five minutes from her friend's cousin's workplace to the fruit and vegetable store. Zhou Xiaojuan was very nervous and walked outside the store. She happened to see Gu Tongwan locking the rolling door and getting on the cart.

"Oh, they're closing right now. It's only six o'clock. Why are they closing so early?" My friend obviously didn't know the closing time here and couldn't help complaining.

Zhou Xiaojuan bit her lip and sneered, "They're back in business so soon..."

The friend turned around in confusion: "Xiaojuan, what did you say?"

"No, I mean it's really too early to get off work." Zhou Xiaojuan said perfunctorily with a wry smile on her face.

But the moment Gu Tongwan got into the car, he saw Zhou Xiaojuan's shadow in the rearview mirror.

Who made Zhou Xiaojuan wear a red wool coat today? It was impossible not to take a closer look.

If it was really done by the other party, I'm afraid they should have taken action at night.

After Zhou Xiaojuan returned home, she called the smoking man. The smoking man wanted to show off to his girlfriend after making a small profit, but he didn't expect to be scolded. He became angrier and angrier, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it. I want to see how many things she has that I can smash. She can still operate normally, right? I've seen if she can still operate normally tonight!"

Hearing the cruelty in the other party's tone, Zhou Xiaojuan was a little worried, and her voice softened: "How about we talk about it later? You just smashed someone's store yesterday. Wouldn't it be too risky to go there again today?"

"What? Are you worried that something might happen to me, or are you worried that if I get caught, it will implicate you?" The smoking man narrowed his eyes, and his tone changed from being abnormally cold.

Zhou Xiaojuan's heart shuddered, and she whispered softly, "I am definitely worried about you, and I saw that there seemed to be surveillance cameras installed outside the store today. Otherwise, let's forget about it. Anyway, I just suffered a little injustice, it won't be a problem."

"How can I let my woman be wronged?" The smoking man laughed strangely at first, then said: "The camera is indeed a bit tricky, but it's not a big deal. I have ways to deal with it. And don't worry about it. I won't lose myself. Anyway, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Zhou Xiaojuan subconsciously held the phone tightly and didn't even notice when the call was hung up.

After Gu Tongwan returned home, he turned on the heater first, letting the heat fill the entire bedroom in advance, and then turned on the heater on the first floor.

The vertical air conditioner on the first floor is enough to keep the temperature in the hall at around 20 degrees, which is suitable for wearing only a long-sleeved singlet at home.

The one cooking tonight is Yan Fan, as the weather is getting colder, and he didn't continue to go to the forest after I told him two days ago, so I sent a message today saying that he would cook in the evening.

I originally thought that the little boy's cooking would be barely edible, at most he would just cook some noodles or two packets of instant noodles with a poached egg, but I didn't expect him to make three dishes and a soup.

"Spinach and tofu soup, stir-fried pork belly with tiger skin peppers, and this is...steamed eggs with meat? Spicy and sour shredded potatoes, great, Yan Fan, I didn't know you were such a good cook."

"I learned it from my grandfather when I was in junior high school. I was alone at home a lot at that time and I was quite interested in cooking, so I learned it." Yan Fan smiled shyly, which was quite suitable for his age. Otherwise, he always suppressed his smile and was more steady than a man in his thirties or forties, making people forget that he just celebrated his eighteenth birthday some time ago.

"Yes, it smells delicious, but is there no rice?" Gu Tongwan asked with a smile.

"I saw a lot of steamed buns that I made last time in the freezer, so I took out a few to steam. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to finish the rice, so I didn't cook it." Yan Fan turned around and took out a few white steamed buns from the steamer. They were slightly bigger than his fist and were still steaming hot white steam.

Once before, I used a bread machine at home to knead at least three kilograms of flour at one time, and made about thirty or forty steamed buns. I thought it would be just right to steam some steamed buns when I was too lazy to cook.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. I'm really hungry after a busy day." Gu Tongwan unceremoniously picked up a piece of fried, fragrant and dry pork belly. It sizzled with oil when he took a bite, and then he could taste the stimulating spicy taste of the screw pepper, which was spicy and fragrant. The aroma of pork and pepper blended perfectly together. Then he took a bite of the soft white steamed bun. The taste was simply amazing!

After they were almost full, Gu Tongwan told Yan Fan about the accidental glimpse of Zhou Xiaojuan he had seen in the afternoon.

"Sister Wanwan, are you suspicious of the female clerk you fired before?" Yan Fan's expression immediately turned cold when he talked about this topic. It was obvious that he was disgusted and hated the mastermind behind the smash-up of the store.

Gu Tongwan leaned back, then shook his head but nodded, "If possible, I don't want to doubt her, but this is the end of the world. The most vulnerable thing in the end of the world is human speculation and malice. Not to mention that there is malice without reason in the world, not to mention that this incident happened after I fired her, and then what Liu Wanrou said in the afternoon, combined with what she said, it is possible that she planned this incident."

If the other party really wrote the private message because he was fired, then he would definitely choose to strike again if he knew that the store could still operate normally today.

"It is unlikely that someone would commit a crime for the second time even though he knew the store was on guard. Unless he is very familiar with the area and is confident that he can succeed without being noticed, a normal person would think it is impossible to commit a crime for two consecutive days. Perhaps the other party is taking advantage of this mentality and choosing to strike again. Another reason is that this person really hates you." Yan Fan analyzed his views calmly.

Gu Tongwan smiled faintly: "You and I are thinking the same thing, which is why I am in a hurry to install the camera. However, Zhou Xiaojuan should have discovered the surveillance camera this afternoon, so she should be prepared."

Yan Fan didn't say anything, but a ball of white mist brewed in his palm. If you look closely, you can see that there are very thin ice cones wrapped in the white mist.

This was one of his supernatural powers that he had just successfully cultivated recently. It was to condense the supernatural power into multiple small ice blades. Each ice blade was only the size of a finger, but it could kill with one blow and directly penetrate the most vulnerable part of the target object.

Yan Fan's ability level at this time far exceeds that of C-level psychics at the same stage. At least when it comes to "playing with ice", he is already an expert, and the time he uses his abilities has increased several times compared to a few months ago.

At 1:30 in the morning, a motorcycle drove into the inner circle administrative center, about 500 meters away from the Hunters Association. Two men got off the motorcycle, one wearing a motorcycle helmet and the other with his face tightly wrapped with a scarf.

After getting down from the building, the man wrapped in the scarf was obviously a little nervous, and his walking posture became extremely stiff.

The cold wind at night makes people dizzy, and coupled with the obvious drop in temperature tonight, a thin layer of frost can be seen forming on the ground on one side of the unfinished building.

The man wearing the scarf is the man in the mask, and the man wearing the motorcycle helmet is the man smoking. These two men actually braved the wind to come here tonight.

"Brother, I think we should forget about it tonight. You see, the weather is so cold. It might snow soon." The masked man said while shivering and gritting his teeth. His whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"You're wearing so many clothes and yet you still say you're cold. You're really weak!" The smoking man glared at the other person unhappily, his knife-like eyes scanning the man's cotton coat.

The masked man couldn't help but shrink his neck and retorted: "I'm not weak..." But as soon as he finished speaking, he shuddered violently.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and follow me." The smoking man raised his hand and pretended to hit someone, which immediately scared the masked man so much that he retreated like a quail.

"You useless piece of trash!" After cursing again, the smoker turned around with a sneer.

When the two men walked to the door of the store, the sharp-eyed smoking man immediately noticed the new surveillance camera under the eaves.

"Wait, do you see that camera? Find a way to take it down." The smoking man tilted his head and gestured to the masked man.

The masked man followed the other man's gaze and was about to say that he couldn't do it, but when he saw the cruelty in the smoking man's eyes, he had to swallow all his dissatisfaction temporarily.

He pulled out a slingshot from his waist. This was the experience the masked man accumulated when he was a child hunting birds in the countryside. Although he was not a psychic, his eyesight and touch were particularly good. Since he was a child, he was very adept at playing with slingshots and archery.

Accompanied by a crisp "pop" sound, the camera hanging under the eaves exploded instantly.

The smoking man nodded with great satisfaction, then pointed to the camera in another direction.

It just so happened that the camera seemed to be aware of the previous sound and would actively turn the picture to the direction of the sound.

"Fuck, I didn't expect it's such a high-end product." The smoking man cursed inwardly, and pulled his helmet down as if feeling guilty, so that even his chin was completely hidden inside.

After the camera's connected screen instantly turned black, the expressions of Gu Tongwan and Yan Fan, who were standing in front of the computer, became polarized.

Gu Tongwan was not surprised, and was even a little surprised that these two people dared to smash the store for two consecutive days.

Yan Fan was filled with anger. From the moment the masked man took out the slingshot, Yan Fan wanted to shoot the man through the ice hole immediately.

"Sister Wanwan, I'll be there now." Yan Fan was a man of action. He immediately turned around and went downstairs.

Gu Tongwan grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute, don't worry, they can't open the shutter door for a while, and it's not our turn to do anything about it."

Yan Fan looked up in surprise, but met a pair of eyes with a deep smile, but there seemed to be a hint of coldness in that smile.
