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

It was already evening when Liao Yunyun came back. The sun had not risen during that period, and he was standing in a darker spot at the stairs, as if he was embedded in the darkness.

Song Bo raised his head after hearing Liao Yunyun's footsteps. When he saw it was her, he immediately put out the remaining puffs of his cigarette.

This is the first time I know that Song Bo smokes. After all, Song Bo gave people the impression that he didn't smoke or drink before. But he actually did all these in private?

But I have to say that he seemed like a different person when he was smoking. He seemed a lot stranger and more distant.

When she saw him coming over, Liao Yunyun frowned and was about to ask him if he had finished his work, but the man on the other side asked first: "Can I go to your house to get some hot water? I forgot to pay the electricity bill and there is a power outage at home."

Song Bo scared Liao Yunyun as soon as he opened his mouth. His voice was hoarse as if it was cut by a knife, and he had changed his clothes, but there seemed to be some gloom between his brows. This made Liao Yunyun subconsciously feel that something might have happened during the time he was away, so she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Perhaps noticing her hesitation, Song Bo chuckled and said, "The electricity is really out. Why don't you come back with me to check? The electricity bill reminder is still posted at the door."

Liao Yunyun said unhappily: "Okay, come with me, I'm not afraid of you." As she spoke, she handed the things over.

Song Bo was quite considerate. The corners of his mouth curled up even more and he took Liao Yunyun's things very naturally. The interaction between the two was so natural that they seemed like a couple who had been together for a long time.

At this time, there were two coughs coming from the stairs. An old woman walked down with a cane. When she saw the two people at the stairs, she smiled and said, "You're back?"

Liao Yunyun recognized the old woman. She seemed to live on the third floor. When they met occasionally, she would nod and say hello, and the old woman would also ask a question or two.

"Hey, I'm taking a day off from work today."

The old woman nodded, then her eyes fell on Song Bo again. After seeing what Song Bo was holding, she smiled and said, "That's good. You should ask your boyfriend to send you home next time you come back."

Liao Yunyun looked at the old woman awkwardly, opened her mouth, and wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

Song Bo, on the other hand, was more tactful. His narrow eyes reflected the light of the street lamp that was turned on in advance across the street, making his eyes sparkle. He was very polite to the old woman: "Grandma, you are right. Next time I will definitely send her. Every day is no problem. It depends on whether she is happy or not."

The old woman looked at the couple, who were extremely pleasing to the eye in both appearance and temperament. People of all ages like to see handsome people and beautiful people in love, especially the couple in front of them who were so pleasing to the eye, so the old woman couldn't help but look at them with caring and loving eyes.

After the old woman left, Liao Yunyun glared at someone unhappily, "Who told you to talk too much just now?"

Although Liao Yunyun glared at him, Song Bo was good-tempered and didn't mind being scolded at all, because at this moment he saw through the dim light that Liao Yunyun's ears seemed to be slightly red.

Seeing Song Bo still laughing, and there was a hint of teasing in that laugh, Liao Yunyun said unhappily, "Why are you still laughing? Why don't you go home by yourself and don't come to my house to use my power."

"No, it's still so cold out here. My room is like a freezer. I can't stay here. I've carried so many things upstairs for you. Can you at least give me a cup of hot tea?"

Liao Yunyun pulled the corner of her mouth, then went upstairs without looking back. Song Bo immediately followed her. During this period, he had known Liao Yunyun's personality to some extent. She had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. On the surface, she was unforgiving, but in fact, her heart was softer than anyone else. Song Bo didn't know why he fell in love with Liao Yunyun. Maybe it was because it was rare to find such a straightforward girl with no calculations in her eyes, or maybe it was love at first sight? Anyway, Song Bo couldn't tell, but he knew that he really liked Liao Yunyun.

This was the first time Song Bo came to Liao Yunyun's home, but Liao Yunyun's family would be moving out in another month. The current owner was not in a hurry to move in, so Liao Yunyun was allowed to stay for another month and a half after the house was sold.

The apartment Song Bo lives in has two bedrooms and a living room, which seems much more deserted than Liao Yunyun's home.

Looking up and down at her house, I found that although Liao Yunyun's house was small, it was very warm. The total living area was less than 30 square meters, but she had arranged it neatly. Even the walls were painted, and the light pink curtains looked very girlish.

Liao Yunyun turned on the heater skillfully, then turned to the kitchen and started to make a cup of black tea, adding some milk and white sugar. In this way, a cup of steaming hot milk tea with a black tea base was ready.

"Don't blame me if there's too much sugar. I made it according to my own taste." Liao Yunyun suddenly said something to spoil the mood when Song Bo lowered his head to drink.

Song Bo just smiled and nodded, then took a sip and drank most of it.

It is indeed very sweet, and not just ordinary sweet. It seems that she really likes sweet things. Should I give her some desserts next time?

Just when Song Bo was thinking about what excuse to bring and what gift to bring to drink again next time, Liao Yunyun suddenly asked: "By the way, have you dealt with all your affairs?"

Song Bo's hand holding the cup trembled noticeably. When he realized that Liao Yunyun was asking about his whereabouts after his sudden move, he pretended to be relaxed and answered, "Well, it's all taken care of. It's not a big deal."

Liao Yunyun supported her chin with one hand and held a water cup in the other, as if she wanted to see some clues from his face. Unfortunately, this man was so good at hiding his true feelings that Liao Yunyun couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth just by looking at the micro-expressions on his face.

But a thought flashed through her mind, why should she care so much about Song Bo? Didn't she agree that she wouldn't fall in love easily? Besides, Song Bo always looked careless, and even concealed his past, so it was impossible to completely trust him.

There was a struggle in Liao Yunyun's eyes, and then she said "Oh" and moved her eyes away from him, as if she had never had the slightest interest in him.

Perhaps noticing Liao Yunyun's emotional ups and downs, Song Bo did not stay with Liao Yunyun for too long. Instead, as he said before entering the room, he just wanted to have a sip of hot tea and enjoy the heating, and left after finishing his milk tea.

Liao Yunyun closed the door, frowned and said, "This person must be hiding something."

------

Song Bo went downstairs. The apartment building he lived in was about three buildings away from Liao Yunyun's building. It was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment.

He did not deny that he entrusted Chen Yanxi with help after he found out that Liao Yunyun lived in the base. The condition was that he would carry out a task assigned by Chen Yanxi without pay every month. Of course, the premise was that it did not violate his personal principles.

Chen Yanxi had guessed Song Bo's thoughts a long time ago. The reason why he did not refuse was because he knew very well that Song Bo was not a bad person, and his attitude towards Liao Yunyun was not just playing around. Chen Yanxi had mentioned this to Gu Tongwan many times in private. Both of them currently hoped that Liao Yunyun would face her own feelings. As for Song Bo, whether he could win the beauty depended on his performance.

Song Bo took out a cigarette from his pocket, smoked it downstairs, and then walked towards his own apartment building against the cold wind of early spring. There were only scattered dim lights on the road, and his shadow was stretched like a ghost.

He did come back once before Liao Yunyun went home because he had to wash off the blood smell on his clothes and body.

Thinking of the warnings and threats shouted by the woman deep in the alley, Song Bo did not regret his action. He just thought it was a good thing for the woman that he had broken her arm.

Song Bo never thought of himself as a bad person, but he was definitely not a good person either. He never liked getting himself involved in trouble, nor did he like wading into muddy water. No matter whether it was before or after the end of the world, all he could do was to keep himself out of trouble. If we say that the fundamental reason for his current personality is probably because his original family is not sound, his father was abusive in his early years, and his mother chose not to abandon her husband and son. Growing up in the beatings of his biological father, Song Bo, who had grown up, learned the first thing to be forbearance, but forbearance does not mean indulgence. He just chose the cruelest way in the narrow and hopeless road of life, fighting violence with violence. Probably no one knows that the reason he was ordered to drop out of school a month before the college entrance examination was because of fighting.

In the eyes of others, a good student with excellent character and academic performance who could have been admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University would break three of a person's ribs and even leave indelible scars on his face.

While others lamented his downfall, no one tried to understand the truth behind it. The school also did not investigate the student he beat, as he had taken the lead in bullying him and even blocked him in an alley after school and threatened and intimidated him into doing various humiliating actions and insulting gestures.

To this day, the student should be thankful that it was not the end of the world, otherwise Song Bo would have repaid him a thousand times for everything he had done to him.

Events from many years ago flashed through his mind. If it weren't for what happened today, he seemed to have not been angry for a long time.

Pulling his lips in self-mockery, Song Bo gradually walked from the bright place into the darkness without street lights.

Yesterday's incident seemed to be just a small episode, which did not affect the lives of Gu Tongwan and Liao Yunyun. Liao Yunyun posted photos of her new house in the underground city early in the morning. Although it was just an ordinary unfinished house, it still made her very excited.

Liao Yunyun [Sisters, have you seen the photos that the real estate agent sent in the group chat about the house that was just delivered today? The layout of the small apartment with one bedroom and one living room is like this. It looks pretty good.]

Gu Tongwan [Congratulations, so we should be moving soon?]

Liao Yunyun [Not so soon, we have to wait for the company to arrange it. Our company rented a building in the underground city together with other companies. It is estimated that it will not be officially used until April. I checked the map in advance. It is only half an hour's drive from my workplace. There are four buses every day, which is just right for my commute. When I have some savings, I will buy an electric car for transportation. After all, gasoline cars are too expensive. Although electric cars are expensive in the early stage, at least charging is cost-effective. ]

Gu Tongwan [Why don’t you drive my car first? I usually drive myself.]

Liao Yunyun: "No, that won't work. If you give me everything, I'll be spoiled. Besides, it's not a big deal to have a bus to go to and from work."

Gu Tongwan [Well, I'll ask that "friend" I know if he has a suitable second-hand electric donkey. If the price is right, I'll help you get it first. I remember it should be lower than the market price. ]

Liao Yunyun [Well, if I could pay in installments...]

Gu Tongwan [Don't worry, that's for sure. ]

After chatting with Liao Yunyun on the phone, Gu Tongwan hurriedly opened the local forum. She didn't look at the recruitment information she had posted before at home yesterday, and she didn't know how the current recruitment situation was going.

As soon as I logged in, I was shocked by nearly a hundred job application messages.

After calming down a little, Gu Tongwan opened his private messages.

This time we are recruiting for several positions with a total of more than a dozen people, so it is normal to have hundreds of resumes.

After a quick look, the positions with the most people applying are in the monitoring room and at the cashier desk, followed by cleaners and waiters. As for security, since she specifically noted that those with special abilities would be given priority, not many people applied. This is also related to the fact that the salaries of most security positions on the market are relatively low. It is said that even for full-time security personnel in high-end hotels or similar administrative units, the salary is only around 600 to 700 points, which is only equivalent to the salary of an ordinary white-collar worker. However, the total working hours are no less than ten hours a day. In addition, there is no hope of promotion or salary increase, so most people are not willing to apply for such positions.

Even so, there were still seven or eight people who submitted their resumes for the security position on her side, with ages ranging from 18 to 35.

Although the salary was based on that offered by companies in the same industry, she actually offered it 20% higher. On the one hand, she wanted to retain suitable people with high salaries, and on the other hand, she took into account that most of the applicants were probably from outside the circle, and therefore would most likely face transportation problems. However, she also provided dormitories. There were two rooms behind the restaurant on the first floor for male dormitories, each of which was a four-person room. In addition, there were two rooms on the second floor for female dormitories.

She posted the recruitment information at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. Twenty hours have passed since then, and there are still many interested parties asking various questions under the recruitment information post.

[Underground city? Has the guesthouse been built yet? ]

[It's a bit far from my home, should I stay at a guest house? ]

[My uncle used to be a chef in a five-star hotel. I can let him try it, but is it convenient to ask about the salary? ]
