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

Although this theft incident did not involve other large criminal gangs, Gu Tongwan still kept it in mind. After that, he not only replaced the door with a more advanced lock, but also planned to raise the wall.

He was a little worried about hiring outside workers, so Gu Tongwan contacted Zhang Youfan's family.

Fortunately, Zhang Youfan and Zhang Mingguo had just returned from the underground city a few days ago, and the work in the underground city came to a temporary end. The two had worked hard for almost two weeks, but they were able to save some money. When they were considering what job to look for next, they received a call from Gu Tongwan.

Originally, the two were reluctant to charge her money. After all, the two families were so familiar with each other. They heard that she was planning to raise the wall because her house was robbed a few days ago, so they planned to only charge her for the materials. However, they couldn't get rid of Gu Tongwan, so they could only charge her the lowest market price as a worker's fee.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jinhua and Yang Mei looked at him at the same time, unable to resist asking more questions.

"Is Wanwan okay? What happened when she was robbed?" Liu Jinhua asked while knitting.

"It seems like someone targeted her and scouted the place in advance. After all, there are only two girls in her family now, and Yan Fan has gone to participate in training and no longer lives there, so people think she is easy to rob." Zhang Youfan sat on the sofa, smoking and replying to his wife.

Yang Mei sat in front of the table and tutored Xiao Bao with his homework. The most troublesome thing for her was that Xiao Bao was already attending elementary school in a nearby private school. However, the education system in the apocalypse emphasized efficiency, and teachers were no longer as careful as before. Many knowledge points could only be explained once and students had to go home and review and understand them by themselves. So now Yang Mei's biggest headache every day was reviewing Xiao Bao's homework. The knowledge points of the third grade of elementary school had already exhausted her. Every time she wanted to give up, she would think of the high tuition fees she had paid.

Now, the tuition for one semester of elementary school has already consumed nearly one-third of the Zhang family’s savings. If there is no further result, the money will be wasted.

After hearing about Gu Tongwan's situation, Liu Jinhua reminded him, "Then you and Guoming must buy better materials tomorrow and be more careful when working."

"Mom, don't worry. You don't know my and Dad's personalities. I treat Wanwan as my younger sister. Her affairs are our family's affairs. I will definitely handle them well."

That evening, Gu Tongwan transferred the money for buying materials to Zhang Guoming's mobile phone, so Zhang and his son ran to the largest building materials market nearby early in the morning, and after comparing prices from three stores, they finally bought the things.

After the store delivered the goods to my door, I couldn't help but take a few more glances at this self-built house. The father and son had bargained so hard just now that I thought they lived in the outer circle. I didn't expect that this house was near the inner circle villa area and they were rich people.

As expected, the richer a person is, the more stingy he is.

Zhang Youfan and his son had no idea that their boss was complaining about them. They just moved the materials to the yard skillfully before starting to mix cement and lay bricks.

However, this is quite time-consuming. First, you need to remove the outer layer of wire ring, and then you have to smooth out the glass shards on the wall again.

"The current wall height is 2.8 meters. I suggest increasing it to about 3.6 meters. Adding the height of the wire ring and the glass, the total height can reach at least 4 meters. Not to mention ordinary people, even a psychic would need an extremely high jumping ability to jump over the wall." Zhang Youfan said as he took off his heavy coat. He started sweating after doing a little work and now he was starting to feel a little stuffy.

Gu Tongwan remembered that the outdoor temperature today was a little warmer than yesterday, only about minus twenty degrees Celsius, and had gradually returned to the normal winter temperature. Therefore, there were a lot more people shopping in the streets, and even a lot more shops were open.

"It will take about three days to complete the entire project." Zhang Youfan said loudly while mixing cement.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm not in a hurry. You and Brother Zhang can take your time." Gu Tongwan was also doing some work within his ability, mainly standing on a ladder to dismantle the complicated wire rings.

At this moment, Zhang Guoming raised his head and asked, "By the way, Wanwan, my mother told me that you are planning to move to the underground city. If that's the case, why are you going to the trouble of repairing the wall? Can't you just rent it out when the time comes?"

The Zhang family also heard about the opening date of the underground city, and learned that the housing prices were ridiculously expensive. However, they also heard that three months later, after the first two groups of people settled in the underground city, they would gradually open up places to other people, and 500 discounted houses would be available for rent.

These discounted houses will be provided to those who successfully pass the lottery at extremely low prices. However, there are only 500 houses for hundreds of thousands of people in the base, and the chance of winning is comparable to winning the lottery. Therefore, many people feel that there is little hope. But some people, such as the Zhang family, still plan to give it a try. What if they take a chance and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle? If they don't try, they will never have another chance. Therefore, they have been trying their best to build relationships and fill out information during this period.

Although Zhang and his son said it would take about three days to complete the wall, in fact the work was basically finished by the afternoon of the next day.

Gu Tongwan crossed his arms and looked up at the nearly one-meter-high wall. He really had the illusion of being in a large courtyard with deep walls.

Liao Yunyun, who had just returned from a trip to the company to process sick leave, found that the wall had been repaired. She felt pain in her neck after looking up for a while.

"Okay, sister, you can rest assured now, don't I say, go out for a walk, your yard has the tallest wall around here, you won't be targeted by others, right?"

Gu Tongwan shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you think that if you keep a low profile you won't get robbed? That's why we have to build such a high wall, so that people know that our house is heavily guarded. When ordinary thieves see this situation, they will know that this family is not to be trifled with."

"What you said seems to make sense."

Then Liao Yunyun walked over to Zhang Youfan and his son who were doing the finishing work and chatted with them.

"The lottery for the 500 houses won't start until around June. You guys have already signed up, right? So I can't sign up. They say it's for eligible families, which must be couples or have family relationships. Singles like me don't meet the requirements, so I didn't sign up. Otherwise, I should at least try my luck."

"That is, the base residents' household registration needs to be in the same book, right?" Zhang Guoming asked.

Liao Yunyun nodded repeatedly, and even took out the fried peanuts she had just bought on the way and handed them over. "Now many people are doing household registration in the department next to us, and they all want to get a household registration booklet to draw lots based on the family unit."

"Then the marriage rate in the base will increase, right?" Zhang Guoming couldn't help but joke.

Liao Yunyun chewed some peanuts, pulled up a bench and sat down, shaking her head and said, "Just wait, you'll definitely regret getting married. This is just a lottery, and you may not necessarily get a house. But it's really cheap, cheaper than renting a house in the outer circle. Most people are excited and want it."

"At least more than half of the people in our community have signed up. There are 500 places available, but in fact, there are at least 50,000 families who have signed up. This is not just a problem of too many people and too little meat. It's simply like looking for a needle in a haystack." Zhang Guoming couldn't help but sneer.

After a pause, Zhang Guoming continued, "And when I was working at the construction site downstairs, I heard that the underground city would adopt a citizen grade system, divided according to contribution points. Even if we really got a number in the lottery, we wouldn't be able to get that much contribution points."

Liao Yunyun couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "That's not necessarily true. Although this citizen rank system is quite strict, if we continue to live in the underground city based on this contribution value, not many people will be able to live there. I guess there will be a fourth type of underground city resident by then. After all, the underground city still needs a lot of manpower to maintain its operation, and labor is also very important at this stage."

A few people were chatting when a familiar male voice was heard from outside.

"Oh, this courtyard is really lively today."

When Liao Yunyun heard the voice, she felt a little uncomfortable. When she looked up, she saw Song Bo's harmless face appear outside the gate.

Yan Fan also came with Song Bo. The two dogs, smelling Yan Fan's scent, rushed over impatiently.

After all, Yan Fan had fed the dogs for half a year, and the two dogs were a little uncomfortable during the week Yan Fan was away from home. From time to time, they would run to the bottom of the villa and bark towards the balcony, almost making the people in other villas think that they were wolves, so they went directly to the property management to complain several times.

Now seeing Yan coming back, the two dogs were so excited that they kept wagging their tails.

Song Bo and Yan Fan have recently participated in the training of the hunter team. They even tried to carry out a mission together yesterday. Overall, they have cooperated well with the team. Even Ye Ziqiu, who is always picky, recognized their strength.

Song Bo's gaze seemed to inadvertently fall on Liao Yunyun's sprained foot, but then he looked away naturally.

"I heard that your house was robbed some time ago?" This was said to Gu Tongwan, but he walked to Liao Yunyun's side and even pulled a stool for himself to sit down naturally, completely treating himself as a guest.

Liao Yunyun turned around, seemingly not liking Song Bo's approach. Song Bo was not annoyed when he saw her rejection. Instead, he had a smile on his face, as if even Liao Yunyun's disgust and annoyance were very interesting to him.

"Yeah, I was targeted by some dirty creatures, but it's not a big problem. I solved it two days ago."

Gu Tongwan guessed that everyone in their team should have known the whole story from Xu Qingzhi, so there was no need to explain it again.

Yan Fan squatted down to pet the dog. After hearing what Gu Tongwan said, he asked, "Sister Wanwan, why don't I move back?"

Gu Tongwan smiled and declined: "No need, just stay in the training center. Besides, when you become a formal member of the team, you need to develop mutual understanding as quickly as possible. The best way is to live and eat together under the same roof."

Yan Fan wanted to say something, but Liao Yunyun interrupted him, "Yes, handsome boy, just focus on your practice. The most important thing at this stage is the training camp. Your sister Wanwan is not as weak as you think. She doesn't even blink when she hits people."

Yan Fan's hand was still stroking Aoao, and Aoao was even lying on his back on the floor with his belly exposed, which made Liao Yunyun very envious. She had been living in Gu Tongwan's house for several days, and these two guys always acted bossy every time they saw her. Liao Yunyun always had the illusion that her IQ was insulted.

Seeing that Yan Fan ignored her, Liao Yunyun didn't bother herself anymore and simply rubbed her calves which were a little swollen from sitting for a long time.

"Have you seen a doctor about your foot?"

Liao Yunyun raised her head when she heard Song Bo's question. With so many people around, she couldn't continue to show a cold face, so she nodded and said, "I've seen it."

"What did the doctor say? How many days will it take to heal?"

At this time, Song Bo was less nonchalant and his tone was softer, which made Liao Yunyun feel a little embarrassed. After all, he seemed to really care about her.

"Don't touch water for a week, and try not to move around for a month, and there's nothing else to worry about. Anyway, the swelling has gone down now."

Song Bo nodded as if he didn't care, and reminded him again: "If you sprain your ankle and it's inconvenient for you to walk, you can try the medicinal wine prescribed by a private old Chinese doctor in the South Street District. I'll ask Yan Fan to give you the address later. Also, try to avoid walking alone at night. What if you really encounter any problems? If it's really impossible, ask a friend to pick you up, or you can call me."

The last sentence made Liao Yunyun stunned. When she was about to ask what it meant, she saw Song Bo had stood up and was chatting with the Zhang father and son in a familiar manner.

Gu Tongwan saw through it but didn't say it out loud. With Liao Yunyun's intelligence, it was impossible for her not to understand what it meant.

Seeing that Liao Yunyun's face was full of doubt and surprise, and finally she was scratching her head in embarrassment, it was obvious that she didn't expect Song Bo to be interested in her, right?

In fact, only Liao Yunyun herself didn't notice it. Even Cai's father noticed it when they were at the wanderer base camp. Song Bo took the initiative to ask about Liao Yunyun's situation several times, and Song Bo would always "inadvertently" appear wherever Liao Yunyun was.

In fact, it was not accidental at all, it was clearly planned.

But now it seems that Song Bo has a long way to go to win the heart of his best friend. It's because Song Bo is too good at disguising himself. He pretends to be frivolous and nonchalant while playing around in the world, but in fact it is just to hide his gloomy and ruthless side. Such a person actually lives a very tiring life.

However, since he is someone Chen Yanxi likes, and he has helped him many times in the wanderer base, this person is not a bad person.

After Song Bo and Yan Fan arrived, the two gave some ideas. They proposed to install an electric grid device on the wall. The power grid device can be activated from 11 pm to about 5 am. This time period happens to be the time when the Self-Defense Forces will not patrol, and the power supply required by the power grid device is not large.

With the help of the two, the power grid device was installed quickly. After seeing off the Zhang father and son, the two naturally talked about the recent training.
