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

"Brother Huang, boss, why are you here?" Xiao Yu stood up with the help of a chair in embarrassment. He just wanted to take a break but he was caught red-handed.

Huang pointed at him helplessly and said, "How do you work like this? You really embarrass me. Don't say I introduced you to this job. We haven't even started business yet. It's okay for you to slack off occasionally, but aren't you too relaxed now? You're watching the surveillance video. What if there's a suspicious person hanging around nearby and you miss him?"

Xiao Yu scratched his head and couldn't help muttering: "There hasn't been any suspicious person yet."

"You know nothing. You're really pissing me off to death!" Brother Huang almost rushed over and slapped him in the face.

Seeing that Huang was really angry, Gu Tongwan acted as a peacemaker and said with a smile, "We have been renovating recently and it is not time for business yet. It's okay for Xiaoyu to relax. Besides, he is the only one in charge of the monitoring room now. He can't be so tense from morning to night. But then again, you can't work in such a relaxed state after the guesthouse opens to the public. Otherwise, I will hold you accountable if something goes wrong."

"Of course, boss, don't worry, I will work seriously and never slack off in the future." Xiaoyu even patted his chest to make a promise.

After the episode, Xiaoyu learned that the two men came to check the surveillance footage of the past two days, so he quickly retrieved the surveillance footage according to the time period provided by Brother Huang.

As a result, he saw that there was a man hanging around these days. If it was just a stranger, Gu Tongwan might not have been concerned, but he recognized him at first sight. Wasn't he the head of the money shop he met with Chen Yanxi at the underground city trading center? He was also a running dog of the hawkish faction.

I didn't expect that I would have such a bad fate with this person. We had a feud in the underground trading center. After being tricked by me, the other party is probably sending people frantically to investigate my true identity. But no matter what, he can't find out that I have disguised myself. But this person appeared nearby, maybe just because the unfinished building has been renovated and decorated with great fanfare recently, it is unlikely not to attract attention, especially since the unfinished building has been turned into a brand new building in just a few months. Judging from the decoration outside, it looks a level higher than the nearby houses. Recently, there have been quite a few people asking about the construction team outside. Most of them are curious about the purpose of the house construction and the progress of the decoration. But the reason why Brother Huang was particularly careful and felt that there was something wrong with this person must be that the things he asked have involved some of his privacy.

"I think this guy has a sneaky look. He came alone to ask questions at first, and then brought two or three people with him. On the surface, he pretended to be doing business, but the people behind him looked like scoundrels and didn't look like good people. If he knew that you, Miss Gu, were the boss here, who knows what he would do to you. We still have to be vigilant these days. I think you should register with the Self-Defense Forces?"

Brother Huang was really worried about Gu Tongwan. He had taken many orders in the past and had experienced incidents such as customers being targeted and attacked. In addition, Gu Tongwan was a girl, so Brother Huang was even more worried about her.

"Nothing has happened yet, and those people haven't made any threats or illegal moves. If we report it to the Self-Defense Force now, I'm afraid they will accept it. But we can be more vigilant. Brother Huang, please tell the other workers that if anyone deliberately comes up to ask about the guesthouse or about me, just let them spread some false information or ignore them. If there is any situation, please send me a message."

"Don't worry Miss Gu, I have already reminded them in advance to keep their mouths shut. They are all my friends and I know them well. They won't say anything nonsense." Brother Huang replied quickly.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu beside him also said quickly: "Don't worry, boss. I have been paying attention to the situation around me during this period. I recognize this person's face. If he appears again, I will definitely not make a mistake."

------------

It was around five in the afternoon when we came out of the guesthouse. On the uphill road, we could see a lot of private cars and construction teams entering the underground city.

Previously, the underground city’s curfew was clearly to close the city gates after 5:30, but anyone who could still come down during this time period was probably not an ordinary person, but probably a powerful person with a great background.

In fact, this month, many people have come in to decorate their houses in advance. I heard from Yu Liang that the villas of the rich people in the southern district are being renovated in full swing. Some require a swimming pool, some want a rockery in the backyard, and some even hope to cover the yard of several hundred square meters with artificial turf. There are all kinds of ways to show off wealth, and there is nothing you can't think of that others can't do.

In a Mercedes-Benz coming towards them, a woman rolled down the window and was seen dressed up gorgeously. She seemed to be in her forties. Even the bag she was carrying was an Hermès brand that was rarely seen in the apocalypse.

There was another car following behind the Benz, with several men in black uniforms sitting in the car. The uniforms should be those of the guard team.

It seems that this middle-aged woman has a very special identity, she must be either rich or noble.

Huang, who followed her out of town today and also hitchhiked, couldn't help but sneer when he saw the woman: "So she's the first lady, no wonder there's such a grand ceremony?"

"What First Lady?" Gu Tongwan was quite curious about this title. After all, you should know that before the end of the world, this title would only be given to the wife of a president or a big leader by the outside world.

"She is the wife of the First Executive Director Yu Hui. That's why she is able to mobilize so many members of the guard team to travel with her." There is always a kind of contempt and disdain in Brother Huang's tone. It seems that there is some story that she doesn't know.

"I don't watch much news about the base, so I don't know much about the people above." Even at home, she usually watches TV series and reads novels, or fiddles with the fruits and vegetables in her space. She has no time to pay attention to what's happening above, and she has always believed that ordinary people like her have no way of contacting the "powerful and wealthy" above.

In fact, that's what she thought. If Brother Huang knew that her boyfriend was the captain of the Hunters, he would probably think that she was a little "ungrateful". After all, everyone in the base now knows that although the first CEO is in charge of the guard team, the person who actually has the right to mobilize more than half of the guard team is still the captain of the Hunters. It is said that this mysterious captain is not only sent by the capital to supervise the work of the second base guard team, but his ability level is even far higher than that of the current first CEO. Some people even joked in private that if the captain of the Hunters wanted to seize power, it would happen in minutes. After all, every time a beast tide comes, this rumored absolute strong man above the psychic is always the commander-in-chief.

Huang Ge retracted his gaze as if to make light of it, and then continued: "He only behaves like a decent person in front of others, but I don't know how many immoral things he has done behind the scenes. If it weren't for his old father in the capital, Yu Hui would have divorced him long ago."

"What? Brother Huang, are you an old acquaintance of the First Lady?" Although Gu Tongwan was not a gossipy person, he still wanted to hear some gossip about the "First Lady".

"We all lived in the same community before. Yu Hui and his wife opened a supermarket in the community before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, everyone's superpowers awakened. He and his wife are now superpowers. Yu Hui quickly gained recognition from the higher-ups with his S-level superpowers and the items in the supermarket. His wife is also a B-level superpower. At the beginning, the two were quite polite to their acquaintances, but after being in the base for a long time, they began to act like leaders. In fact, this is nothing, but these two people actually conspired to deceive everyone in our community, saying that they could find a backdoor to get us a house in the underground city apartment building. In fact, they asked their secretary to bring the contract, and they would not recognize it after it was signed. The contract was even some unfair terms. If you want to buy a house in the underground city, you have to pay an additional commission of 30% higher than the house price. Isn't this a trap to cheat people out of their money?"

"Can't we report it? We can complain to newspapers, magazines and relevant departments about his illegal money-making?" Gu Tongwan frowned. He was very disgusted with this kind of phenomenon, whether it was before or after the apocalypse. Especially after the apocalypse, it was not easy for everyone to survive. If they encountered a scam again and it was a pig-killing scheme from an acquaintance, people with low pressure-bearing ability would easily be defeated.

Huang Ge could only sigh helplessly when he heard this, and then shook his head: "How could anyone not have thought of what you said? The problem is that you have to know that no matter what the environment is, powerful people have many ways to cover up their mouths, and we are insignificant and our words are useless."

Perhaps because he felt that he had said too much today, Huang immediately changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore. By the way, Boss Gu, when do you plan to open your guesthouse for business? I will be the first to come and congratulate you then."

"It will be the second week after the dungeon opens. There's still a month left. We need to wait for the renovation to be completed and the smell to dissipate, so we're not in a hurry to open for business right away." Gu Tongwan stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly went uphill. The main reason was that the slope was too steep, so he needed to step on the accelerator as much as possible when going uphill.

Huang slapped his thigh, nodded and smiled, "That's great, it's almost a month, and by then, Miss Gu, your guesthouse will surely be booming."

After chatting with Brother Huang for a while in the car, she learned that she also ran a fruit and vegetable store. Brother Huang then suggested that she could open one in the underground city. Since there are relatively few stores in the underground city now, if she can choose a good location for the store in advance, she will not have to worry about lack of business in the future.

"There is another community near the guesthouse. There are schools, hospitals and office buildings there. I think it will become a new commercial center in the future. It would be the best if you can choose to open a store there. I just decorated a restaurant there. Although the price of the store there is quite high, it is indeed worth investing in the long run."

"Thank you, Brother Huang. I'll think about it again." Gu Tongwan would not rent a store impulsively just because of these words. After all, opening a store and doing business is not that easy. Even the current fruit and vegetable store took a long time of preparation before he made up his mind to do it. In addition, he now has to take care of the guesthouse as well. If he wants to add another store, he has to find the right person to do it for him.

After seeing Brother Huang off, it was almost half past six when I got home. As soon as I reached the gate, I heard two dogs barking.

After the last thief, the backyard wall has been raised again, and there are surveillance cameras and alarm devices on both sides. Although there are people strolling around her house occasionally, those thieves can only leave in disappointment when they see that the high-walled courtyard has all the vicious dog elements maxed out.

The first thing Gu Tongwan did when she got home was to turn on the TV. This time she did not change the channel immediately. Instead, she watched the weather forecast first, and then waited for the national news to start at around seven o'clock, followed by the Jiangcheng news.

At this time, the picture that appeared on the screen was that of Yu Hui and the "First Lady". However, what was interesting was that in addition to Yu Hui, the base commander Zhang Zhijun and his wife were also in the same frame. The two couples were separated by a distance. Although they had smiles on their faces, it was obvious that there was a distance and alienation between them, especially Zhang Zhijun's wife, whose face was so gloomy that she did not hide anything at all.

I have heard for a long time that the relationship between the base commander and the first CEO is tense, and they are wary of each other. In terms of position, the base commander is indeed higher than the CEO, but if we look at the power in his hands, the first CEO controls the entire Self-Defense Force and one-third of the guard members of Jiangcheng Base. If a coup d'état occurs in the base, the CEO can rely on the military power in his hands to crush the base commander.

Now the two of them have gone to such an extent of avoiding suspicion when attending official events, and no one knows how the two and their factions are fighting in private.

I was watching TV while eating the mango sago that I made last night. The aroma of mango and grapefruit blended well together, and with the rich milk in my mouth, the one I made myself was no worse than the one I packed from the milk tea shop.

I still have some durians, how about trying making durian pizza?

There are many semi-finished pizza doughs in the space. Just put durian and plenty of cheese on them and you can get a fragrant durian pizza.

----

At the villa, Liu Hun, who had already finished dinner, suddenly wrinkled his nose and smelled a "foul odor".

"Fuck, whose family is stewing SHI here? The smell is so disgusting. Aokiji, go and close the sun door." Liu Hun doesn't like eating durian, and he can't stand it when he smells the smell.

Ye Ziqiu, who was eating melon seeds nearby, rushed to the balcony and turned to look at Xu Qingzhi after careful identification.

"durian?"

“It’s durian!”

Two people shouted out the name of the fruit at the same time, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
