Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 87 The Butterfly Effect
After Liu Feng and his companions got off the speedboat, they bit their lips, their faces covered with a layer of gray haze. In the speedboat behind them were several travel bags and plastic bags, some of which were torn, while others were still intact.
Xu Hong immediately rushed over and counted the number of people who had set out today. She was relieved to see that although Liu Feng and Xiao Li had bruises on their faces, they were not seriously injured. However, she saw that the people who had gone out today were silent, so she guessed that something must have happened. She pulled Xiao Li aside and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Why did you come back so late?"
Xiao Li pulled the corner of his ripped mouth, frowning in pain every time he opened his mouth. There was still a taste of blood in his mouth, but Xu Hong urged him to do so, so he could only say wearily, "When we were searching the financial building before, we ran into a group of people robbing people downstairs right after we came out. They were robbing the owners of the same community as us. Later we found out that they were from Building F. They spontaneously organized a few kayaks to search for supplies today. They should have come after us. Brother Liu and I wanted to help at the time, but it turned out that the group had weapons..."
As Xiao Li spoke of this, his breathing became a little rapid, and his voice trembled, as if he was thinking of the thrilling and terrifying scene before, with the black muzzle of the gun pointing directly at their faces.
Although there were only three people on the other side, in this day and age, having a gun in your hand meant you were the emperor. This bullet could blow their heads apart.
The three men were wearing bulletproof vests and uniforms from a security company, but their posture and behavior did not seem like they had received professional training. One of them even had a shaved head, a tattoo on his neck, a dirty long-sleeved shirt, and a pair of large sneakers that almost rubbed the floor into sparks when he walked.
This kind of person is the kind that exudes a unique aura that you can occasionally glimpse among the countless passers-by on the street when you look back. You deserve to get rid of him.
Although the shotgun is very intimidating, in the end times, with food and water shortages, some people are under far more mental and physical pressure than the fear they feel from the gun in front of them. They would rather have their foreheads blown off than not snatch back the supplies they have found with great difficulty, as those are enough food to save an entire family!
The people in Building F became furious after being robbed, and several of them rushed directly towards the three people.
After all, they were all people from the same community. Liu Feng, Xiao Li and several other property owners felt their blood boiling. They shouted some bold words and joined the "battlefield".
In the chaos, someone pulled the trigger of a gun. Fortunately, the bullet hit the ground and no one was seriously injured for the time being.
After being chased away, those rascals were still cursing, saying that sooner or later all the nearby communities would be razed to the ground, and that they were waiting for their big brother to kill them.
During this fight, Liu Feng, Xiao Li and others all suffered varying degrees of minor injuries. The most seriously injured was a middle-aged man in Building F, who seemed to have been hit on the back of his head during the fight. When they came back, the man was still being helped to lie on their kayak in Building F. Even so, the people in Building F still insisted on continuing to search nearby.
On the way back, Liu Feng kept thinking about what those people said when they were fleeing. It was like a thorn buried in his heart, making him feel uneasy.
Gu Tongwan, who was standing nearby, also heard what Xiao Li said, so he frowned and asked, "What kind of gun did that group of people have?"
Xiao Li touched the bruised corner of his mouth, recalled for a moment, and then answered: "It seems to be the long gun that the security guards of bank armored vehicles are equipped with. It should be a shotgun. But the accent doesn't sound like Jiangcheng, and he doesn't look like a bank employee."
Gu Tongwan immediately understood what was going on when he heard this. This group of people were most likely the same ones he met at Bauhinia Department Store that day.
"You have a gun? Will we be in danger later? Did you find the police station when you went out?" The woman yelled nervously. The man squatting on the ground with his trouser legs rolled up to check the wound on his thigh was her husband. He didn't care about his image at this time. He pulled the woman and cursed, "Idiot, the police station is flooded. You still need the police? Don't you know what time it is? It's a complete mess outside!"
"No way, is there really no one in charge? Did the police run away?"
"It's over, it's really the end of the world. I thought it was abnormal for the rain to come so suddenly. I should have bought more things at the temporary market. It's all my fault that my husband was reluctant to spend that little money. Now, I can't buy anything even if I have money!"
"Then, then what should we do from now on? Are we really going to wait here to die?" A woman's voice was already tinged with tears.
"Honey, what did you find today? Is there anything to eat?" The other woman hurriedly pulled the bag in her man's hand.
The atmosphere suddenly became anxious. Liu Feng pursed his lips and looked at everyone. He closed his eyes tightly. The noisy "buzzing" sound in his ears made him upset. Finally, he shouted, "Okay, everyone, count the supplies, take the speedboat to hand in the two layers of supplies and go back. In view of what happened today, there will be no other speedboats to go out in the afternoon. It's not safe at night. Those who want to go out have to wait until tomorrow morning."
"We're just waiting to go out and search for food. We have nothing to eat. We're starving to death!" a man protested dissatisfiedly.
Property manager Li was kicked several times in the abdomen. He endured the pain and said back: "If you want to die, just go out by yourself. We won't accompany you. You can kill people and rob people outside. Do you think you are capable?"
The woman in her sixties behind the man panicked when she heard this. She sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and started crying, "Oh God, why are you so blind? Are you really not going to give me a chance to live?"
Jiang Tian couldn't help rolling her eyes and whispered to Gu Tongwan, "This old lady is always pretending to be pitiful. She didn't know how to bully others at the temporary vegetable market last month. She bought 50 kilograms of rice at one time, and squatted on the second floor every day waiting for the property management to restock. I don't believe she really has no food left at home."
Liu Feng and the people from the property management went upstairs first, not wanting to deal with the mess behind them. When they left with the deflated speedboat in their hands, they were envied by many people, but no one dared to rush forward to grab it. Besides, after seeing what happened to the property management today, they thought that it was dark at night and they might really die if they went out.
Gu Tongwan went upstairs with Jiang Tian, saying, "Your brother was injured today and was soaked in the flood. You'd better have him disinfect and clean the wound when you go back, otherwise it will easily become festered and infected."
Jiang Tian nodded obediently, and then listened to Gu Tongwan continue: "Also, your face is a little swollen. If you don't have ice cubes, apply some Yunnan Baiyao. If it's still swollen after tonight, you can use some eggs to reduce the swelling."
"Well, Sister Gu, thank you. If it weren't for you today, I might..." Jiang Tian said with tears in her eyes.
Somewhere in Gu Tongwan's heart softened a little at this moment, and he said in a lighter voice: "Don't think too much, the most important thing right now is that you are okay, and your brother is okay too."
Jiang Tian forced herself to smile a little, then said goodbye and went back home.
As soon as Gu Tongwan arrived home, Aoao and Tutu, who had been waiting at the entrance, rushed over to her. This time, they were not too disgusted by the smell of blood on her body, and their tails were still wagging.
Gu Tongwan stroked the two big heads, took out two pieces of 20-jin meat from the space, then found some clothes and went to the bathroom to wash.
After changing into a comfortable set of pure cotton long-sleeved home clothes, she sat on the sofa, took out a box of Kung Pao Chicken lunch from the space and ate it slowly. The drink she got was the Thai mango passion fruit that she usually liked. The slightly iced drink paired with the hot rice greatly satisfied not only her taste buds but also her stomach.
After eating and drinking, she stretched and tried to communicate with the system with her consciousness.
"System, what is the connection between the mutations of plants, animals and insects and natural disasters? Why didn't the mutations of plants and insects appear in the previous life?"
After waiting for a while, the system's voice finally gave an answer.
[Host, the mutation of things is related to the collision of time and space and the resulting butterfly effect. ]
"Since everything has a butterfly effect, can I assume that the natural disasters in this life may be different from those in the previous life?"
[Yes, the opening of each plane world is a brand new operation.]
"Okay, so what type of natural disaster will it be next time?"
In the previous life, it must have been extremely cold after the rainstorm. Heavy snow fell in Jiangcheng before November. The lowest temperature outside could reach minus 60 degrees Celsius, and even the temperature indoors was minus 20 degrees Celsius. The whole world was shrouded in ice and frost, and Jiangcheng became a country of ice and snow.
This time the system did not answer, it seemed that it was unable to tell her the answer.
Gu Tongwan was not discouraged and asked another question.
"System, how is the bounty mechanism set up? Is it based on human malice or potential threat? Why didn't the bounty prompt appear for the people I killed today?"
[The bounty is a task randomly assigned by the system and has no direct relationship with the degree of human malice.]
"Are all the people judged by the bounty evil?"
The system did not answer this time, but judging from the candidates judged by the system in the past, at least the other party was not completely innocent.
And she can choose whether to accept this task, it is not mandatory.
Just when Gu Tongwan wanted to let his consciousness come out of the space, the system's voice suddenly rang again.
[The space lottery mechanism has been opened and is currently available. 】
