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

The incident in the parking lot did not affect Gu Tongwan's mood. Even if Zhao Zhenzhen jumped around a lot, she was just a clown.

On the way, she saw that the shops along the street were open and bought two pairs of gloves. There were also some cooked food she brought from home in the back seat of the car. It was the braised pork she had made earlier. She brought about two kilograms of it to the proprietress, and also took a two-kilogram bottle of homemade wine.

Near eleven o'clock, the snow was heavier than before, but it created a different kind of scenery, especially the children who built their own houses on both sides of the snow and made snowmen, which was full of childlike fun.

In fact, when she was a child, she also fantasized about making a snowman of her own in a snowy day, using carrots as the snowman's eyes and nose, branches as the snowman's hands, a red scarf around the snowman, and finally putting a hat on it, and then a chubby snowman was ready.

Although she had always fantasized about making a snowman of her own, she was ultimately unable to realize this idea. When the first extreme cold weather came, she was busy dealing with the impact of the cold weather and trying to find a way to integrate into Xiaoxi Village, so she didn't even think about making a snowman at the time. Perhaps all of Tongque's naive ideas were based on a stable, carefree life.

His life has become more and more stable recently. During the dinner and conversation last night, Chen Yanxi also stated that after the fourth day of the New Year, he would personally lead a team to the underground city for the second clearance operation to ensure that the mutant creatures in the restricted area would not easily cross the human area. Moreover, since the base changed its director, the first thing it did was to add two more high-voltage power grids outside the restricted area, and also to install monitoring room equipment, with a dedicated team to monitor 24 hours a day.

There were more people coming for good fortune on the New Year's Day than she had imagined, especially in the outer circle, which was quite lively. The Self-Defense Force member who was in charge of entering and exiting the outer circle at the sentry booth also reminded her: "The security in the outer circle may not be very good today. You must pay attention to your safety and try not to stay overnight."

Because he often went in and out of the inner and outer circles before, Gu Tongwan was quite familiar with the people in the sentry booth, so he asked, "Are there many people going out today?"

"More than before. After all, it snowed a while ago and no one could go out. Now that the snow on the roads has been cleared, everyone is going out. But we just received a notice that there have been several robberies in the outer circle, and the targets of the robberies are all people who drove out. The Self-Defense Forces have already started investigating, but you know, the outer circle is so big, there is no way for people to hide if they really want to."

"What happened to those people who were robbed?" Gu Tongwan couldn't help but ask.

It is said that many members of the Self-Defense Forces were transferred back to the Inner Circle during the Chinese New Year. Although the Security Bureau has resumed work, the working hours of the Security Bureau have been changed from the previous 24-hour system to an 18-hour system due to the extreme cold. No one is at work from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., and the police will only be dispatched for special tasks. As a result, many early morning robberies have occurred in the Outer Circle in the past two days, but Gu Tongwan did not expect that something would happen during the day. After all, except for the appearance of the snow ape mutants on the ground, the order in the Inner Circle is still as peaceful as ever.

"Several people drove out yesterday afternoon, and two of them were robbed. All the supplies in the car were gone, and they were beaten. The worst case was that one's arm was broken. It is said that the robbery was done by a gang of speeders, probably the same gang that committed crimes everywhere before Ji Han. Although a few were caught at the time, they committed suicide before they could explain where their lair was, so the matter was left unresolved in the end. Miss Gu, you are going out to visit relatives, right? If necessary, don't come back too late. If not, stay at your relatives' house. At least go out after 8 a.m. the next day, or return before 5 p.m. today."

Another person who was in charge of guarding the city today also said, "Yes, Miss Gu, you have to be careful on this trip. After all, it's easy for a girl like you to be coveted when traveling alone."

"Thank you, I will be careful on the road, but I should be back in the afternoon. By the way, the fruits here were given to me by a friend before, you can take them." Gu Tongwan took four or five bags of fruits from the back seat and handed them over.

The two of them originally refused, after all, it was not appropriate to take other people's things while they were still at work, but in the end they had no choice but to accept it.

After Gu Tongwan drove away, one of the men discovered that the fruit was actually fresh. Even though they were wearing masks, they could still smell the fragrance of apples.

“Is this a fresh apple?”

"It seems so. And these oranges are fresh too. Miss Gu is really generous. Fresh fruits are hard to buy nowadays, but she is so generous to give them to us when others gave them to her." Another person was a little surprised.

In fact, the guards of both the inner and outer circle sentry posts are all D to C level psychics, and they are also equipped with fire support. But most importantly, the treatment of the guards is good. During the New Year, each person was given two bags of apples. Although the apples are a little wilted, they were just brought back from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It is said that they are a batch of fruits that matured before the extreme cold. Although they can barely be considered fresh fruits, the apples taste sour and have a fishy smell. If it were not for the fact that fruits are expensive and difficult to buy in this season, no one would be willing to eat these.

The two were surprised because fruits with good taste and large size are rare in the base.

"Miss Gu is beautiful, kind-hearted, and capable. She should have high standards for beauties like her." Another man couldn't help but bite the apple in his hand, and the sweet taste in his mouth made him exclaim, "So sweet!"

"…Eat your food. Stop talking so much. Let's get back to work, or the captain will punish us by making us stand at attention."

We arrived at the guesthouse at around 11:15. It was still the same, at least there was a thick layer of snow on the sign. The billboard outside for accommodation had not been removed, but the accommodation requirements were no longer long-term. The maximum stay was two weeks, with fifty points per day.

The accommodation fee seems to have increased a bit compared to before, but prices are going up now, so the guesthouse is just adjusting according to market conditions.

"Wanwan!" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, and then Gu Tongwan saw from the rearview mirror that Xiaoli and Lan Cen, who was dressed like a penguin, were walking towards them not far away, each holding a bag in their hands.

"Sister Wanwan, Happy New Year." I haven't seen Lan Cen for a while and she seems to have grown a lot taller. Her cheeks are rounder than before. She finally has the spirit and energy of a normal girl of her age.
