Chapter 2 - 2

Apocalypse Countdown 59 days.

Co Dong Van had a dreamless night last night, so she decided not to go to work the next day, so she slept until 9 o'clock in the morning. She washed her face and picked up her phone to check the news.

Yesterday at work, she had already made a big fuss about it, and had neglected her work for no reason. This morning, the HR department had already notified her that she didn't need to come. In addition to deducting certain expenses and expenses, the salary she could receive this month was less than two thousand. Fortunately, the big boss was worried about her doing something, so the salary was settled very quickly. After all, she had sent away an intern who wasn't good at disciplining her, and the next new intern could smoothly jump into the pit.

Gu Dong Wan laughed coldly in her heart, and sent a clip of the vice president's voice disturbing her to the company's mailbox, and directly sent the same message to the supplier of the musical instrument, making this talented person retreat.

Previously, he only dared to keep evidence in his mobile phone because he was worried about whether he could get his college degree certificate or not. Now, there are still two months until the end of the world. Go get his graduation certificate and his thesis.

The mobile phone's empty slot finally returned to number four. Gu Tongwan opened the high seat and made a long-remembered dish of chili fish stew.

Although eating this early in the morning is a bit heavy, but in the eight years of struggling in the apocalypse, let alone fish stewed with chili, even fresh fish meat is hard to come by.

The apocalypse has factories that are dead, and natural disasters have invaded, water pollution is severe, and river and sea creatures have mutated. Let alone being edible, it's not bad to swallow people.

"Ding ~"

WeChat reminder sound starts.

Gu Dong Wan glanced at it casually, and it was actually sent by Zhang Xing.

"Xiao Wan, why haven't you heard from me these two days? Did something happen?"

Co Dong Van frowned, only now remembering that there was such a character.

Before the apocalypse, she made her first boyfriend, who was also her first love.

Alas, after so many years, she almost forgot this person. After all, after they separated, it had been eight years since they last saw each other. She also didn't know if this person was alive or dead.

Memories came crashing down like a tidal wave. Gu Tong Wan clearly remembered that this person was the main culprit who caused her to be kicked out of the rescue center.

In the third month of the apocalypse, social order had gradually collapsed. She and Zhang Heng went with the army rescue team to set up a rescue center in Jiangcheng Academy Museum. At first, the rescue center still had normal food and water, but as the natural disaster intensified, food and water supplies gradually became scarce, and people's hearts also twisted. People in the center often fought for supplies until their heads broke and they bled, and they also committed crimes.

At that time, in order to get more food, Zhang Heng kept showing off his charming appearance in the rescue center, using his little white face to get food and supplies from different female students, but this also caused suspicion and jealousy among the female students.

And being Zhang Heng's girlfriend made her even more of a thorn in her side. After all, they didn't want Zhang Heng to be monopolized. In the end, Gu Tong Wan was framed by a high-ranking teacher, Liu Cam, for stealing food and was expelled from the rescue center.

Faced with Liu Gan's slander, at that moment, not only did Zhang Heng not have the strength to speak for himself, he even stood on Liu Gan's side and said that he saw Gu Tong Wan enter the rescue warehouse in the middle of the night. Gu Tong Wan had no way to deny it, no one was willing to believe him, but they discovered that at the time when he was being slandered by everyone, Liu Gan and Zhang Heng's eyes were filled with ambiguity.

Gu Tong Wan still clearly remembered the day she was chased away. Jiang Cheng, a southern city, had actually had a heavy snowfall in November. At that time, the snow even covered her calves, and the wind blew like small knives on her face.

In the end, in order to survive, she had no choice but to join a nomadic organization, a group without order or law, where she suffered a lot of hardship and injustice.

Later on, she became numb and cold-blooded, even stabbing and robbing people without blinking an eye, all for the sake of living until the end of the world.

Coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes, Gu Tong Wan's mouth corners were slightly curved, it was truly like searching with worn out iron shoes but not finding anything, but getting it without much effort, this time if he didn't properly deal with this scumbag, he really couldn't swallow his anger.

"I caught a cold yesterday, took medicine and slept for a while, then no news."

"Are you sick? I caught a cold last night. Oh right, come to my house when you have time. I bought a new game. Don't you like to play the latest release [Apocalypse City]? I'll play with you then."

A man invited his girlfriend to his house, naturally there was no need to say what his intentions were. In his previous life, Zhang Heng had wanted to develop something with her many times, but because Gu Tongwan had an introverted personality, and was also relatively conservative towards relationships between men and women, after refusing her a few times, Zhang Heng felt uncomfortable. It was said that before the apocalypse, Zhang Heng had also cheated on her many times.

Originally wanted to refuse, but then thought of this Zhang Heng although his character is not good, but towards women he is generous, moreover his family background is not bad, in Jiang Cheng he is also a rich second generation, usually starting from a few hundred thousand, the monthly living expenses during university time was five figures.

Previously, Zhang Heng had been pursuing Gu Tong Wan, this male sect flower, for a year and a half. Now that he had not yet tasted the cooked duck, he naturally considered her to be a person who would fulfill all his wishes.

Biting her lips, Gu Tong Wan replied with a "Good" and then started planning how to get money from that scumbag.

Twenty minutes later, the lunch box arrived, slightly pulling Gu Dong Wan back to think.

Gu Tong Wan couldn't wait any longer, her heart trembled as she opened the lunch box, and immediately a long-lasting spicy aroma rushed into her nose.

Looking at the bright red satay and pepper, she picked up a piece of tender fish meat and put it in her mouth. The spicy taste stimulated her taste buds. The fresh fish meat made her almost swallow her own tongue.

A pot of fish stew with chili for two people is equipped with two big bowls of rice. This breakfast, Gu Dong Wan ate to great satisfaction.

After finishing this meal, Gu Dong Wan couldn't help but clench her fists, secretly swearing that in this life she would definitely upgrade her space, crazy escape, and never say that she was hungry again.

***

Gu Tong Wan changed into a set of clothes, a short-sleeved white shirt and light blue jeans, underneath she only stepped on a pair of canvas shoes, and also wore a white baseball cap, she was truly invincible in her youth, completely different from the skinny and bony appearance of the apocalypse. Moreover, her skin was extremely white, further highlighting her outstanding features.

After arriving at the neighborhood, Zhang Heng had been standing in front of the black Audi he had just bought for himself for a while.

Zhang Hang wore a white leisure suit, with light yellow pants underneath. His features were elegant and dignified. If one only looked at his appearance, one could tell that he was the type of elegant and handsome male that girls liked.

Seeing Gu Tong Wan blink, Zhang Heng's eyes suddenly flashed, his gaze was glued to Gu Tong Wan's undulating and seductive figure, the heat on her chest seemed to increase.

After dating for more than a month, he and Gu Tongwan's progress was only holding hands and hugging, even kissing was just facial; Gu Tongwan was really too well-prepared, every time he wanted to take a step further, she would reveal an impatient expression, this called Zhang Heng also couldn't continue, afraid of provoking Gu Tongwan's displeasure, in the end, he had been chasing this woman for a year and a half, but before he could get what he wanted, they broke up, Zhang Heng couldn't swallow this breath.

Getting into Zhang Heng's car, Zhang Heng immediately "flirted" and asked with concern: "Xiao Wean, is your body better?"

Co Dong Van nodded and smiled softly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm much better."

Truong Hanh raised his hand to rub her head, but unfortunately it touched Co Dong Van's cap, so he felt a little embarrassed and withdrew it.

"This time the game is newly launched by our three companies, you will definitely like it."

Gu Tong Wan likes to play games, all kinds of online games have mentioned a few, Zhang Heng scratched the right itch, thinking that he could definitely please her, at that time, something naturally happened...

Gu Dong Wan turned her head away. Zhang Hang thought she was shy, but didn't notice the dark expression on her face.

Zhang Heng's residential area is located in the city center, near the best commercial building, the first period sales reached 120,000 bottles, after all, this place is adjacent to the cbd commercial circle, the nearby subway, hospital, school and the old pedestrian street are all gathered there, and the old town rented that broken house is really a world of difference.

Gu Tongwan's mobile phone received another new message, this time it was the 59th housing broker, telling her that last night when she went out to the old unit room, several people had inquired, one of them wanted to immediately take it over, but the price was 15% lower than her offer.

"Who knows?" Zhang Heng was very jealous and had a strong desire to control himself towards Gu Tong Wan. Seeing that she was always looking at her phone, he was a little unhappy, but he still had a smile on his face, pretending to be a gentle boyfriend.

"Real estate broker, said the other party wants to lower the price of my foster parents' apartment."

Zhang Xing was surprised and raised his eyebrows, saying: "Xiao Wean, you want to sell the room?"

Gu Tong Wan sighed and said sadly, "Yes, recently my foster mother fell ill, but there is no news about the surgery fee. Furthermore… I am graduating soon. Even though the company has just finished its internship period and the official salary is at most 4000, there is no way to cover the surgery fee."

Her family background was not good, Zhang Heng knew a little bit, because Zhang Heng's own conditions were not bad, compared to his strong and well-matched girlfriend, he thought that the beautiful and well-behaved Gu Tongwan was more suitable to consider, to a certain extent it would satisfy his masculinity, even thought that the more miserable Gu Tongwan was, the more she could rely on him, so he usually pretended to be gentle, and tried his best to coax Gu Tongwan, although the intimate relationship between the two of them did not progress much at present, but thinking back, the more challenging Zhang Heng was to conquer, the more satisfied he felt.

"How much is left?" Truong Hanh rubbed Co Dong Van's small hand, pretending to ask gently.

Co Dong Van's face was calm, but inside she was already rolling her eyes wildly.

"Two hundred thousand..." Gu Tong Wan knew that this little bit of money was not too much for him, at least he could easily get it, if it was a hundred thousand to ten thousand, he was afraid that Zhang Heng would only have doubts and might not be willing to borrow it.

Sure enough, in order to quickly reach Gu Tong Wan's heart, Zhang Heng hurriedly said: "Don't rush to sell the house, I have the twenty thousand here, I'll borrow it from you first."

"It's just that..." Gu Dong Wan pretended to hesitate.

"Don't think too much, you are my girlfriend, I should help you, when you have money pay me back, be good."

Looking at his girlfriend's weak and pitiful thoughts, Truong Hanh felt even more pity for her. On an impulse, he decided to lend her all the pocket money for next month's birthday party.

Gu Dong Wan, sooner or later I will ask you to be my fool!

Zhang Hang's face was smiling lightly, but in fact his heart was twisted!

Arriving at Zhang Heng's house, taking advantage of Zhang Heng's time in the toilet, Gu Tongwan's eyes stopped at the crystal shelf on the left side of the main hall. On it was a piece of paper that Zhang Heng had spent all his effort to make until his hands were empty. She clearly remembered Zhang Heng once proudly showing off that this thing was worth 180,000.

At first, Gu Tong Wan was skeptical that this toy could be worth this much money. But later, she learned that this Big Dipper Divine Fist was inlaid with about 50 pieces of ancient Chinese crystal, leaving only a trace of regret.

Indeed, the rich people of our world do not understand.

However, it is said that Zhang Heng still has hidden treasures that he has not displayed. In his parents' villa, there is also a set of handmade gold products, worth more than a million...

Gu Dong Wan was so moved, pure gold, how many moments did it take?

Gu Dong Wan stepped forward, her eyes narrowed, she moved forward slightly, her consciousness moved, and her hand fell into the air.

Although it was a bit immoral to not ask and bring it upon herself, compared to Zhang Heng's adultery and betrayal in his previous life, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his current behavior at all.

Unfortunately, the system only accepts gold. Even if the antique worth hundreds of millions enters, it has no value to the space.

After Zhang Heng came out, his mind was probably filled with tadpoles. He was not in the mood to look at his own hands on the shelf. He just smiled and accompanied Gu Tongwan to play games, thinking about how to keep her overnight.

However, Gu Tongwan had not stayed at Zhang Heng's house for long. After playing the game, she did not wait for Zhang Heng to carry out his plan. She pretended to go back to the hospital to take care of her foster mother. She did not even give him a chance before leaving, ignoring Zhang Heng's gloomy expression. It was three days after Zhang Heng discovered that he was short of hands.
