Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 557 Strange Death
Gu Tongwan slept relatively well at Liao Yunyun's house that night. He scrolled through his phone from 11:30 to 7:30 in the morning.
It may also be that the temperature is too low, and the charcoal in the heating stove is about to burn out, so the indoor temperature is gradually dropping. It was clearly around three or four degrees before going to bed last night, but in the morning the indoor temperature had become minus seven or eight degrees. It can be said that she was woken up by the cold. After all, when she was in her little nest, even the living room on the second floor could be maintained at five or six degrees, and the bedroom could be maintained at around ten degrees. So she was used to a warm environment, and naturally she couldn't sleep for too long once the temperature dropped.
Gu Tongwan stretched his waist, got up from the folding bed with difficulty, then picked up the tongs and picked up several pieces of charcoal and put them into the heating stove.
Liao Yunyun was still in sleep. Last night, she wore headphones and watched old TV series. She had spent a few hundred points to find a middleman on the black market who specialized in downloading TV series and variety show resources. She could download old film and television resources for free. Three hundred points included twenty TV series, thirty film festivals and a dozen variety shows. Although the price was a bit expensive, in today's doomsday world where spiritual food is scarce, there are really too few entertainment activities that people can engage in. At around seven or eight in the evening, the entire base was basically plunged into endless darkness. Even with street lights, they were dim and creepy. In addition, the base had a policy that no shops were allowed to open after ten o'clock in the base, unless it was a special holiday like the "Hunting Conference" or the Spring Festival. Only shops that applied for permission were allowed to operate all night.
There are many young people in the base, and it is impossible to ask everyone to turn off the lights and go to bed at eight or nine o'clock. Young people with mobile phones are accustomed to surfing the Internet, but the network signal in the base is weak, and it is even worse at night. Frequent disconnections are the norm, and there is no fun in browsing forum posts except being a keyboard warrior. Maybe it was quite fresh at the beginning, but after a long time everyone missed the joy of chasing dramas all night before the end of the world.
Liao Yunyun kept emphasizing to Gu Tongwan that her 300 points were actually well spent. At least the things she downloaded could help her pass the time for a month or two. No matter how much she hated a celebrity in the past, when she saw him or her in a drama now, she would often wonder whether he or she would still be alive after the end of the world.
Before Gu Tong went to bed last night, Liao Yunyun was still watching a bloody mainland fantasy drama with great interest. At the beginning, this TV series was criticized by the entire network, but watching it again now brings many feelings.
I don’t know what time this girl fell asleep last night. Judging from the way she sleeps now, she must have stayed up late many nights.
Although it was already 7:30 in the morning, looking out the window, the weather outside was still gloomy and the snowstorm showed no sign of stopping.
I originally wanted to go back when the snow was less severe, but it looks like I need to stay here for a while longer.
A small bunch of noodles was found in Liao Yunyun's kitchen, and there were some eggs in the bag next to it. So Gu Tongwan took out some canned ham while Liao Yunyun was still asleep. This canned ham was very salty and was just right to eat with the noodles.
Fortunately, Liao Yunyun seldom cooks. With her cooking skills, she usually just cooks a pot of porridge and eats it for the whole day. The vegetables are usually canned or pickled. She knows that her cooking skills are not good, so she is not very picky about food.
The gas stove shook for a moment, and there was probably about half of the gas left. I wasn't worried about cooking, because I had to turn on the range hood to cook.
Although the house is only about 30 square meters, fortunately, after Liao Yunyun moved in, she separated the kitchen and the living room with a glass sliding door so that the smoke would not enter the living room.
In the morning, I'll eat something a little simpler, so after the water boils, I'll put the noodles in, crack two eggs into the pot, and take a tomato from the dishes delivered last night. I'll also put the sliced tomato into the pot, and then add the sliced ham, a little oil, salt and soy sauce, and a bowl of steaming noodles is ready.
Liao Yunyun originally planned to sleep until at least 11 a.m. as usual. After all, she watched a drama until 2:30 a.m. last night. It was almost like this every day during this period. She would go to bed at two or three o'clock and get up at least at noon. Although her sleep and rest schedule was not very regular and healthy, she thought on second thought that she could save a breakfast and thus save money.
She admitted that she was basically woken up by the smell this morning. After all, it was so rare to have such a smell coming from home. Not to mention whether her cooking skills could produce it, what was going on with this meaty smell?
After being awakened by the smell, Liao Yunyun propped herself up and saw Gu Tongwan holding a pot and placing it on the coffee table.
"Awake? That's great, get up and have breakfast." He took two sets of bowls and chopsticks and started serving noodles with quick movements.
“What time is it now?” Liao Yunyun looked sleepy, but her stomach started growling at the smell of the delicious food.
"Seven fifty." Gu Tongwan replied.
"So what time did you get up this morning?" Liao Yunyun began to frown.
"It's not even 7:30 yet. It's too cold to sleep, and there's not enough charcoal in the stove. If you continue sleeping, the fire will go out." Gu Tongwan reminded Liao Yunyun of this. Don't let her fall into a deep sleep one day and not notice that the charcoal is gone. This is a matter of life and death.
Liao Yunyun nodded and smiled awkwardly: "I have been staying up late these days, and I always add charcoal before going to bed. Didn't you add it once last night? So I didn't add it before going to bed. I always remember to do it."
Gu Tongwan didn't really intend to continue talking to her. He just reminded her, so he served her some noodles and pointed in the direction of the bathroom. "Go wash up quickly. The noodles will get cold quickly in this weather."
"Okay, okay, right away, in two minutes." When Liao Yunyun heard that there was food to eat, she did not dare to be vague. Although her mind was still in a confused state, her body reacted in advance. She rushed to the bathroom, squeezed toothpaste, and washed her face. These things were done in one go.
When she returned to the dining table again, she began to slurp the noodles without hesitation. The temperature was just right, not too hot. However, this also shows that the temperature of food drops quickly in extremely cold weather. Unless the food is constantly boiling and heated like hot pot, the food will quickly lose its original taste.
Liao Yunyun really devoured the food this time. She finished a bowl of noodles in less than a few minutes, and then she finished the second bowl. While eating, she said, "But I hope the aroma of our noodles won't get out. Otherwise, the weird family next door will ask questions again."
"It's okay. If they are really bored, let them be, as long as it doesn't affect your life. If they really go too far, you should still keep the things I gave you. Take them out to scare them, and they will be behaved properly." Gu Tongwan ate the noodles slowly. She had eaten less recently, and was basically full with one bowl of noodles. But she cooked a little more just now, and the leftovers could be saved for lunch.
However, Liao Yunyun glanced at the noodles in the pot and suddenly asked, "You don't want to eat anymore, right?"
"Yeah." Gu Tongwan nodded, but he could see that Liao Yunyun probably wanted to say something else.
Sure enough, after Liao Yunyun was full, she put down her bowl and chopsticks and put all the remaining noodles in the pot into a stainless steel lunch box, which was just enough to fill it.
"The last family in the corridor is a single mother's. It's not easy for her to raise a child. Last time, I needed to alter the styles of several clothes, and I had planned to spend money to find a tailor, but the mother did it for me and didn't charge me. I didn't have anything to give as a gift at the time. I heard two days ago that when the extreme cold came, their family was so busy stockpiling charcoal that they didn't buy any food. Last time I met another neighbor at the stairs, she said that the mother of this family has been trying to find food for the children in the past two days. Didn't you give me a box of vegetables last night? I thought I should give her some slack." Liao Yunyun has always had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She has been like this since she was doing business. When she was watching the shop in a coffee shop, if she met a homeless old man picking up rags outside, she would give him a sandwich from the store.
"Then take it. We can't finish all this anyway. I think I'll have to stay here for a while longer. Leave the lunch to me."
Liao Yunyun smiled at each other before standing up and putting on her clothes. She came back about ten minutes later, and as soon as she came back, she hurriedly closed the door and hurriedly took out her cell phone from the coffee table.
"Why do you look so anxious? What happened?" Gu Tongwan knew Liao Yunyun's character. She wouldn't act as if the sky had fallen after coming back from a trip, so he guessed that something must have happened.
Liao Yunyun quickly opened the chat group of the owners. After seeing the various messages that were frantically displayed on the screen, she bit her lip and said in disbelief, "I didn't expect it to be true? Could something really have happened in our community?"
"What do you mean?" Gu Tongwan couldn't help but ask.
"Someone in the group just now said that a mercenary who was on night patrol last night went missing, and then someone found that person's head in the corridor. Now the mercenaries suspect that someone in the community committed the crime, and are checking every household, but they are mainly targeting the residents of units 5 and 6. Now the residents are in a turmoil in the group because of this matter, and they insist that the property management give an explanation!"
After Liao Yunyun finished speaking, she frowned again, slapped her thigh and sneered unhappily: "That man deserved to die. I think this is retribution. It was this man who took the lead in molesting the female owners in the community. No matter how he died, I have to say it's good."
Gu Tongwan did not respond immediately. Instead, she thought for a moment before asking, "How did that person die? Can you tell me specifically?" For some reason, she felt that the more she thought about it, the stranger it became. According to Liao Yunyun, this mercenary team was quite powerful and every member of them was a psychic. If it was just a simple night patrol, it would be impossible for them to die at the entrance of the corridor without even the ability to fight back. Another possibility emerged in her mind, and it was very likely related to the snow ape.
Liao Yunyun was already anxious to go to the community owners group to check what happened today. It was not only out of curiosity but more out of safety issues. The last murder incident still left a shadow in Liao Yunyun's heart. Now, a murder incident occurred again in the community in just two months. Liao Yunyun was naturally anxious to know the cause and effect.
[Wind blows fallen leaves] So what is the situation now?
[Be moderate in tension and relaxation] Just wait for the property to notify you. I've already reported it to the Security Bureau this morning. They said they will send someone over right away, but I don't know how long it will take to arrive. I heard that most of the Self-Defense Forces have gone to the outer circle for support, especially the shanty towns over there that are in urgent need of personnel to be relocated. It's a big project to evacuate people from shanty towns with tens of thousands of people, so at least half of the Self-Defense Forces in the inner circle have been gradually transferred to the outer circle, and the remaining part have gone to the underground city to perform other tasks. If it's not an extremely urgent situation, it's really difficult to get the Self-Defense Forces to the scene.
[Shining Five-Pointed Star] I feel it's mysterious. We called the police at 7 a.m., and it's already 8:20 and the Self-Defense Forces still haven't arrived. I think it's probably impossible for the nearby area to send people over for the time being. We should just find ways to improve our self-protection capabilities.
[Garfield doesn't like coffee] I live in unit 5. The man was found at the stairwell on the first floor. In his condition, I don't even dare to go out to throw away the garbage. Is there any perverted murderer in our community?
[Liushui Tiaotiao] Oh my god, it's exactly what I thought. Now I don't let my wife go out to take out the trash. Even if she wants to go, she has to have me accompany her. You see, even in the daytime, it's so quiet in our corridor, it's still pretty creepy.
[Snail noodles with three servings of duck feet] I feel the same way. Last night when I was in Unit 5, I seemed to hear a sound similar to scratching at the door outside. I can guarantee that there was something at the door because a very long and thin shadow was reflected from my window. I suspect there was someone outside the corridor at that time.
[Glittering Five-Pointed Star] Oh my god, is this true or not? This is too scary.
[Director of the South District Mental Asylum] The person who died seemed to be a person with special abilities. It was said that he had C-level special abilities. How could such a person have his head chopped off so casually?
[Snail noodles with three servings of duck feet] I’m afraid the perpetrator is a high-level psychic. The thought of killing people silently makes my hair stand on end.
[Liushui Tiaotiao] But that man deserved it. Those who bully men and women are not good people either!
[Garfield doesn't like coffee] But the point now is that someone has died in our community, and was tortured to death. Regardless of the question of whether the person who was killed deserved to die, what if the murderer committed crimes indiscriminately? Assuming that the premise is that this person is a high-level psychic, then will the next target be ordinary people like us who don't have any superpowers?
[Shining Five-Pointed Star] If he really is a person with superpowers, we can't stop him with just that iron door. The blizzard outside hasn't stopped. If someone really breaks in, there will be no one to help us!
Owners in the owner group are discussing the issue with concern, but some are more indignant and anxious about the property management's inaction.
