"Hey, hello, Mr. Li, do you have a house to rent there?"

"Yes! Yes, yes, I want to rent your house, and I am at the entrance of the village right now. You're coming to pick me up, right? Okay, well, I'm right next to the lamppost under the archway at the entrance of the village. ”

Gu Yan was standing next to a lamppost, following the phone number on a red rental flyer on the lamppost. There is a big memorial arch not far from the lamppost, and the plaque of the memorial arch reads the big three words "Cotton Tree Village", which is the entrance of an urban village.

As the so-called big hidden in the city, Gu Yan left the unfinished factory area, and wandered around in Yangcheng, while looking for a suitable place to live, and after observing for a long time, Gu Yan finally set the goal of Hongmian Village, an urban village that is also famous in Yangcheng.

Urban village, this is a special situation left over from the rapid development of Yangcheng's urbanization process, which exists in the bustling center of the city, but maintains its own village culture and organization. There are dense houses and complex personnel, and there are people of all religions and nine streams. The Cotton Tree Village, in Yangcheng many urban villages are also more famous, his fame is not due to its attractions, but because of its complexity, Cotton Tree Village is at the junction of a business district and an industrial zone, which not only lives in white-collar class, but also has a lot of factory employees, with strong personnel mobility and complex composition, which can well cover up the existence of Gu Yan, and there is a railway station nearby, which is very suitable for Gu Yan's next plan.

"Excuse me, young man, were you the one who called to rent a house?" Gu Yan was thinking about this next step when suddenly a deep and low male voice came from beside him.

After Gu Yan heard this, he turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his 40s not far away, wearing a gray tunic and holding a mobile phone in his hand, asking questions to him.

"Yes, yes, my surname is Gu, and I came to rent a house, you are Mr. Li." Gu Yan responded.

"Okay, come with me, let's go see the house first." Mr. Li nodded, then beckoned to Gu Yan very dryly, and led him into the village.

"You're a college student?" On the way, Mr. Li asked

"Yes, if you just graduate, you want to find a job in Yangcheng to support yourself, and you don't have to ask your parents for money." Gu Yan replied half-truthfully.

"Yes, it's good to be self-reliant, unlike that rabbit cub in my family, who only knows how to play games online at home all day long, and has no interest." Speaking of rising, Mr. Li's voice became a little louder.

In this way, Gu Yan and Mr. Na Li walked towards the center of the village while chatting.

"When I arrived, the house was on the 5th floor of this building." After nine bends and eighteen turns, after a few laps in the alley, Mr. Li stopped in front of a rental building, which has a total of six floors, and the house that Gu Yan wants to rent is on the fifth floor.

Mr. Li stood in front of the door of the building, took out an access card and ticked it in front of the electronic lock, and then said to Gu Yan: "You must have an access card when you enter and exit this building, and if you move here, I will send you the access card." After finishing speaking, he led Gu Yan upstairs.

Ascending to the fifth floor, Gu Yan came to the house that Mr. Li wanted to rent.

"One bedroom and one living room, water and power grid, three packs, furniture, one thousand two a month, refuse to bargain, at least one year rent, to pay a month's deposit, one month's rent, a total of two thousand four, you can move in directly.

Suitable? If it is suitable, you can sign the contract directly. Mr. Li opened the door and led Gu Yan in to take a look.

The environment is good, Gu Yan looked at it, nodded, and said: "Very good, I rented it here, sign it for a year first, but I don't have so much cash on me, do you accept electronic transfers?" ”

"Electronic transfers, yes, young people just simply." As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper from a drawer in the room, and wrote out the contract on the spot.

After transferring the account with the e-wallet and signing the contract, Mr. Li handed over the access card and room key to Gu Yan, and then left directly, without asking Gu Yan for other information in the middle, let alone checking his ID card, which is also the reason why Gu Yan chose to rent a house in an urban village, he didn't need to register too much information, and he could leave at any time.

"'Chengguang' scans the entire house to see if there's anything out of the ordinary." Not long after Mr. Li left, Gu Yan issued an order to the system, and only after the 'Chengguang' replied that there was no abnormality, Gu Yan really relaxed with peace of mind.

He didn't turn on the terminal immediately, but lay on his back on the sofa and rested for a while, after more than half an hour, Gu Yan walked slowly to the window and closed all the curtains, then walked to the door and locked the door, and casually pushed the sofa to the door to death, and after doing all this to ensure that it would not be disturbed by outsiders, he lay down on the bed and turned on the system.

As soon as his eyes changed, he entered the imaginary space again.

Gu Yan stood in the imaginary space, first took a cursory look at the personal information, and then opened the operation log of the terminal.

"Huh? Anyone else alive? It's been a long time, hasn't it?! "Gu Yan saw a prompt in the log saying that the number of participants in the virtual scene was displayed as '1', which also means that there are still people alive among the six gangsters he teleported to the scene before. couldn't help but attract his attention, after all, the danger level of that scene was 'high' in the system's evaluation, and Gu Yan also firmly believed that the possibility of ordinary people trying to survive in that environment for so long with their bare hands was close to zero.

"'Chengguang' projects the situation."

Then, the situation in the virtual scene appeared in front of Gu Yan's eyes.

"Hiding in a dung heap?! And it's the feces of a brute dragon, and it's really bold enough. However, there is still a gun in your hand? Looking at the projection, I saw a thin man hiding in a huge pile of feces, and not far from him there was a large adult brute dragon resting, the man's eyes were firmly fixed on the situation of the brute dragon, and his body couldn't help but tremble. However, what surprised Gu Yan even more was that the man still had a pistol in his hand.

"But, this pistol..." Then, Gu Yan looked at what had happened before.

After the six thugs were teleported to the virtual scene by Gu Yan, before they could react, they heard a roar, and then several terrifying figures rushed towards them quickly, and it was several velociraptors that attacked them, and before they could wonder why the velociraptor was still alive, a velociraptor that ran the fastest had already pounced on one of the thugs and kept biting.

Seeing this, the rest of the thugs exclaimed, and then they all scattered and fled in all directions.

And at the moment when the surviving man fled, the boss named Brother Long suddenly took out a pistol from his waist and shot his companion next to him, and then followed him in the same direction and fled together. Gu Yan guessed that Brother Long might have known that the man was thin and weak, and he must not be able to outrun him, so he ran in the same direction as him, and if he encountered danger, he would have a shield to fight for him a chance, but he didn't expect that it was his decision that caused him to lose his life.

Running all the way, Brother Long looked behind him from time to time to see if any velociraptors had caught up. After running for a long time and making sure that there was no danger, Brother Long was about to stop and rest, but at this moment, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and Brother Long, who was running, fell to the ground fiercely, and the gun in his hand was also thrown out.

"Damn, what the hell is this place, it hurts me to death, what are you doing, Ah Tong, don't come and help me." After Brother Long fell to the ground, he lost his body for a moment, and then slowly got up, and kept swearing on his lips. As soon as he raised his head, what caught his eyes was not Ah Tong's helping hand, but a black muzzle, and the gun was held by a thin man named Ah Tong.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, Ah Tong, be careful of misfire, come, give me the gun." When Brother Long saw Ah Tong holding a gun at him, he exclaimed, and his body couldn't help crawling backwards for a distance, and said tremblingly.

"Bye-Bye" Ah Tong didn't make a sound, just showed a hideous smile, then made a mouth shape, and then fired without hesitation, the bullet shot into Brother Long's head, killing him with one shot. The recoil of the pistol Ah Tong took a step back and rubbed his shoulder with his hand, Ah Tong did not leave, but took out a utility knife from his arms, and the sharp blade easily cut a few pieces of meat on Brother Long's corpse, threw the pieces of meat not far away, and then rolled a few times on the mud, covering up the smell of blood on his clothes with the dirt, and then left quickly.

"Vicious enough! Decisive enough! But no wonder he has a gun in his hand, it turned out to be robbed. Soon, after seeing the previous scene, Gu Yan looked at the man who was still alive with a strange expression, he never thought that such a thin man would be so vicious.

"'Chengguang' scans the man's memories and lists the information, I want to see what caused him to have such a strong desire to survive and a ruthless mind."

Gu Yan looked at Ah Tong hiding in the dung heap with a faint eye, and his mind slowly became active.

"This person is worth using."
