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

After Liao Yunyun finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth subconsciously, with a look of surprise and doubt on her face.

She thought that the "batch of goods" her friend mentioned might be fruits, meat, or even some dry food, but no matter how she thought about it, she would never have thought that it was munitions.

You must know that in the end-time environment, in addition to territory and talent, which are the most fiercely contested resources among major forces, the other important ones are crystal cores, oil, and weapons.

Weapons do not simply refer to cold weapons, but real firearms and ammunition. Unless one is a high-level psychic, psychics below level B will feel weak in the knees when seeing the black muzzles of guns.

Although they are people with special abilities, they are not mutants who are invulnerable to swords and guns, but have flesh and blood bodies. They can still die if they are shot. Therefore, arms have become an extremely important material that military strategists must fight for.

"Wanwan, what on earth is going on?"

Her heart was still beating wildly, but Liao Yunyun tried her best to suppress her emotions. After sitting down, she immediately looked at her friend with a nervous expression.

In fact, Gu Tongwan had only made the decision two days ago. If she wanted to buy a house down there, she would need a large amount of base points. Currently, the fastest way to make money was to sell part of the resources in her space, and the easiest things to sell at a high price were nothing more than oil and arms.

Oil is an important energy source and a scarce resource both in the future and now. Considering the vehicles and generators on hand, oil needs to be consumed all the time, so it cannot be sold. You must know that now in order to purchase a certain amount of oil at the base, in addition to providing very complicated personal certificates, there are also purchase limits on the amount of oil, and the price per liter has reached an astonishing three or four hundred points. This is the most fundamental reason why people who can afford to drive a car in the end times have a certain level of strength.

As for weapons, the arsenal in her space has not been consumed much. In recent years, except for the occasional encounter with difficult mutant creatures, which she would deal with with submachine guns or Barretts, the ammunition in the arsenal has always been very sufficient. The ammunition in her hands can at least feed a team of nearly two hundred people.

Moreover, in the past year since entering the base, she and Yan Fan have dealt with many people. In addition to those who attacked the Cai family last time, they have looted a lot of things from them, including some firearms.

At present, at the underground trading center of the base, the price of a pistol has been sold for about 3,000 points, and a bullet costs nearly 200 points. Some obsolete models of old-style Type 95 rifles also cost more than 4,000 points each, not to mention the AK, which costs nearly 8,000 points each. Even at such high prices, it is still hard to find one.

For example, the pistols equipped by the Self-Defense Forces in the base are all of the oldest type, and each person is equipped with no more than four bullets per month. A report must be written for each use, and the distribution of rifles on the guard team's side is even more strict. Members even need to sign a letter of responsibility. If a gun is lost, they will be penalized for at least five years.

In such an environment, firearms are obviously the absolute material that the military and certain forces want to obtain the most.

Of course, Gu Tongwan did not intend to sell all the arms in her hands. After all, the situation in the next few decades was still unclear, and who knew what kind of turmoil would happen. These weapons might become her life-saving talismans by then. Therefore, the batch of firearms she was going to sell this time were some old-model AKs and rifles. As for grenades, sniper rifles, and heavy weapons, she would never leak any information about them to the outside world.

"Remember what I said before, that I once wandered in Hai City for nearly two years?"

"I know. You've said it many times. At that time, Haishi disappeared completely for nearly a year because of the displacement of the earth's crust after the earthquake. Even drones could hardly detect the situation in Haishi. Moreover, the entire Haishi was shrouded in white fog all year round. The base and various forces tried every possible means and it took at least half a year to successfully break through the white fog and enter the real Haishi. However, Haishi at that time was entangled by huge mutant plants. The whole city looked more like a ruined city. I followed up on this situation for a while, and now I still have a lot of aerial photos taken by drones."

The moment the sea city reappeared, the base gathered a group of people to enter. Unfortunately, the entire sea city was like a ghost fog maze, and all teams encountered unprecedented difficulties. There were not only huge mutant plants but also mysterious and man-eating white fog. The degree of danger was limited to the current big forest in the north.

The special ability team that first broke into Hai City and successfully reported back the situation of the entire city was Chen Yanxi's hunter team.

Thinking of this, Liao Yongyong couldn't help but look at Chen Yanxi on the side.

This man didn't show much expression. Wasn't he surprised by the secret of his girlfriend?

Gu Tongwan continued, "During the two years in Hai City, I used the daytime to explore all the streets and areas. Hai City was one of the first cities to be evacuated after the natural disaster, and most of its resources have been transferred by the government, but there is still a small part that has not been transferred in time."

Liao Yunyun showed some confusion on her face.

"While exploring the neighborhood, I stumbled upon a small private arsenal hidden in the basement of a high-end villa."

The border of Hai City has never been peaceful. Before this, illegal and criminal activities in Hai City have always been the target of the government's key investigation and crackdown. The major 217 incident that caused a sensation a few years ago also occurred in Hai City. In that month alone, the government cracked down on more than criminal gangs, which shocked the whole country at the time.

In fact, this was not a lie by Gu Tongwan. She had indeed discovered an armory in Hai City before, but most of the guns in the armory had been moved away. There were also more than a dozen boxes of guns that had not been moved in time, all of which were obsolete models. However, each gun was fully equipped with bullets and could be used normally. Nowadays, similar models can be seen selling for nearly five or six thousand points on the apocalyptic black market.

According to preliminary estimates, if she could sell this batch of goods, she could earn at least one million points.

Liao Yunyun gasped. She would never have thought that Gu Tongwan was hiding such a big secret. But when she thought about the fact that if she resold these things, it would definitely attract the attention of various forces, and it might even cause trouble, she shook her head and said, "No, this is too dangerous. If we don't handle it well, we will all be in trouble. This is like walking barefoot on a knife edge. No, no, we can't do it."

After calming down for a while, Liao Yunyun frowned again and said, "Besides, the end-of-the-world environment is not completely clear yet. You keep these things, maybe they will come in handy one day. If you sell important supplies just to live a more comfortable and stable life now, I will not feel comfortable."

Gu Tongwan knew that Liao Yunyun was not the kind of person who could be easily persuaded. Besides, she probably felt embarrassed to implicate herself in this matter. Instead, she waited until Liao Yunyun finished speaking before explaining, "In fact, it is not safe for me to keep these goods in my hands. I have wanted to sell them for a long time, but I have not been able to find a seller I can trust. When I was chatting with Xu Hang in the vagrant camp before, he mentioned some rumors about the underground trading center. I plan to find time to go there and think of a way to sell them."

"If you really want to sell it, why not sell it to the guards? The guards are also short of guns right now, right?"

Liao Yunyun's understanding was that selling it directly to the guard team would not only strengthen the guard team's firepower but also be considered a favor to the base leader. Moreover, with Chen Yanxi mediating in the middle, the matter would be safer and simpler to handle.

But Gu Tongwangang didn't think so. The base government was currently in a turmoil, with various forces mixed in it. Different forces had clear barriers. The guard team where Chen Yanxi was located and the base commander and the captain of the guard team were in different camps. If Chen Yanxi took the lead in handling this matter, it would instead arouse the suspicion and doubt of the base commander. It would be better for her to deal with the arms privately.

"but……"

When Liao Yunyun was about to continue speaking, Gu Tongwan held her hands and said, "Okay, I have made up my mind about this matter."

Liao Yunyun had no choice but to look at Chen Yanxi, "What about you? Do you also agree that your girlfriend will take risks?"

Chen Yanxi put his fingers upside down on the coffee table and tapped it a few times before smiling faintly, "I'll take the risk with her. With me here, nothing will happen to her."

Liao Yunyun was fed a mouthful of dog food for no reason, and her worries suddenly disappeared. In the end, she could only wave her hand and said, "Forget it. You two are simply in cahoots with each other in this matter. There is no point in me saying anything. However, you still have to be careful."

---

After Liao Yunyun left, Gu Tongwan saw Chen Yanxi bring her a towel that had just been ironed with hot water.

Just as she was about to take it and wipe it, she didn't expect Chen Yanxi to bypass her hand and gently wipe her hands which were a little red from being frozen in the house.

"So you're angry with me for not telling you about this batch of arms?" Chen Yanxi's tall body bent down slightly at this time, and this angle was just enough to see his handsome eyebrows and beautiful ears.

Gu Tongwan was sitting sideways on the sofa with a cashmere blanket on his knees. Seeing Chen Yanxi willingly and gently interfering with him, with such careful movements as if he were treating a rare treasure, something in his heart softened, and he could no longer hold back, and stretched out his other hand to gently rub his white jade-like earlobe, and finally seemed to be nonchalant as if he was addicted to the game.

The fingers slowly moved from the earlobe to the earlobe, and just when he was about to continue playing with it, he was grabbed by a slender and cold hand.

"Everyone has their own secrets. You don't have to tell me everything. I just need me to be with you when you are on an adventure."

Gu Tongwan lowered her head and saw that her hand was completely wrapped by his hand. It unexpectedly looked so slender and small that it seemed as if it would break if he exerted the slightest force.

"Okay, I understand." Gu Tongwan covered it with his other hand.

Chen Yanxi raised his head, a smile rippling in his dark eyes, as if he was possessed by a poison. Gu Tongwan thought of what happened last night and instantly looked away.

She was very scared, afraid of seeing the man-eating beasts in there again.

Noticing her retreat, Chen Yanxi did not immediately press her forward. He just lowered his head, smiled, and let go of her hand.

She never mentioned anything about the space, and Chen Yanxi never asked about it, but in fact he had already noticed it in his heart.

Before returning, Liu Hun talked with Ye Ziqiu and a few others about the guard team's recent recruitment of a group of psychics, who were said to be seconded from the capital base. Among them were two space psychics. These two psychics caused quite a stir when they first arrived at the base. After all, space psychics were the first to appear in the base after the Psychic Center announced the new type of psychics last month.

It is said that these two space-related psychics relied on the special nature of their abilities to demand that the base grant them special privileges and even demanded that corresponding security personnel be provided.

At that time, Liu Hun said indignantly that these people came to the guard team to act like bosses. They just had some ability to store space. If it weren't for the long-distance expedition mission that required such people, he really couldn't think of the use of space-based psychics.

Instead, Cai Xing smiled and said, "What if someone awakened the space ability at the beginning of the apocalypse, or even before the apocalypse? Wouldn't that person be invincible?"

"More than being invincible, if it were me, I could directly empty out an entire Walmart and the armory! I could just walk sideways in the apocalypse!" Liu Hun immediately added.

Everyone was laughing at that time, except Chen Yanxi, who was looking somewhere else thoughtfully, as if he had no interest in this topic, but his eyes were directed towards her.

There was no doubt or judgment in his eyes, but a vague look that inexplicably made her subconsciously believe him.

"The black market trading center is currently divided into two factions, one is the Tiger Faction and the other is the Hawk Faction. The leaders of both factions are A-level psychics. The areas under their jurisdiction include the D field and money houses, as well as some companies that conduct mortgage business. There are many people and circles involved. If you must go the route of the underground trading center, my personal suggestion is to cooperate with the Tiger Faction. The Hawk Faction is too close to the border forces and will be easily targeted if not handled properly."

"I plan to go there in disguise and check out the other party's background first." Gu Tongwan pursed her lips slightly. When she didn't smile, her expression seemed a little cold.

"When?" Chen Yanxi also sat on the sofa and let her legs rest on his thighs. The way they got along like this was actually more imaginative than hugging or even more intimate contact.

Just as Gu Tongwan was about to change his posture, he found that his calf was pressed back again.

"I'll go with you." Chen Yanxi's eyes were dark, with a hint of coldness flowing through them.

Gu Tongwan wanted to say something, but he said with a half-smile: "If you don't agree, then don't go."

"That's great. With the captain of the hunter accompanying me, my safety index seems to be higher."

The next day

The disguised Gu Tongwan and Chen Yanxi appeared in the largest underground trading center in Jiangcheng Base.
