Carrying a bow bag and a sword box, Chen Shouyi walked out of the old-fashioned tube shaped building.
The fine snowflakes fell in droves. It was snowing outside. Chen Shouyi restrained the impulse to use his natural ability and allowed the snowflakes to fall on him. A few steps later, a layer of snow had been on his shoulders.
What terrible weather.
The weather is getting colder and colder these days.
He exhaled a long white breath, hung the bow bag and sword box on the handlebar, opened the lock, got on his bike, and rushed back.
This is located in the suburbs, 30 or 40 kilometers away from his home. If you don't hurry up, it will be dark when you get home.
Relief stations set up by the municipal government can be seen from time to time on the road.
Not only are there people sitting inside, but there are also long queues at the door. Some people are holding umbrellas, and some simply let the snow fall. In this cold weather, everyone is still shivering with cold and his face is blue, wrapped in coats or down jackets.
At present, banks are still unable to withdraw money, and most companies are completely closed. There is no source of income, and many people do not have much cash on their hands. They are basically moonlight people.
If there is no relief, the whole Hedong city will suddenly become a mess.
Chen Shouyi's face was silent, and he pedaled his bike quickly, galloping all the way.
……
Three steam trucks wrapped in tarpaulins came oncoming.
For example, on the head of the old-fashioned train, white smoke puffed, and the connecting rods connecting six pairs of wheels continued to rotate, making a huge noise. Chen Shouyi stared at these behemoths in a daze, and did not return to his senses until he passed by.
Back to the community, it's already five o'clock, and it's just getting dark.
The snow on the ground has accumulated more than half a foot thick,
Chen Shouyi rode into the parking lot and glanced. Rows of cars were covered with a thick layer of gray. He drove to the corner to lock the car, dusted off the snow on his shoulders and hair, and was covered with steaming steam.
……
At night, the candle bean flame on the computer desk glowed faintly red.
Chen Shouyi pulled out the strange alloy sword, inserted the curing oil on the surface of the sword, and looked carefully.
Under the dim light, the blade flickered with fish scale like fine patterns. The blade had no defects, as if it had never been used before, and the cold light was everywhere.
He rubbed his fingers gently on the edge of the blade.
"Hiss!"
His hand suddenly hurt slightly. He picked up his index finger and looked, but he cut a hole, and the blood slowly overflowed.
What a sharp sword.
A flash of surprise flashed in his heart. You know, with his physique, even if the nano sclerosing film sword wants to cut the skin, it needs some force, and this sword, only slightly wiped, but hurt him.
Suddenly he got up, waved his sword and cut to the corner of the table. The blade cut through the composite board of the computer table without making much sound. It was extremely smooth. With a stroke, he hardly felt much resistance, and the corner of the table had fallen off.
"No wonder, according to Cao Zhenhua's wife, this sword was his favorite during his lifetime. It's definitely not ordinary metal." Chen Shouyi was thoughtful.
He threw a few sword flowers and felt more and more satisfied. The sword of more than ten kilograms seemed too heavy for the martial artist, but for him, it seemed quite handy and did not affect the speed of the sword.
I will use this sword in the future.
He inserted the sword into the scabbard and looked at the cut finger. He found that it had been completely healed.
……
"Big gemstones, one by one!"
"Big gem, one by one... One!"
The shell woman sat on the bed, with four crystal balls in front of her, and a piece of glass beads and small glass beads. She counted them for fun with a flushed face. With a large crystal ball to appease her, she no longer insisted on watching cartoons in a short time.
"Little gems, one by one... One by one!" There were so many small glass beads that she almost didn't come up at one breath after counting for more than two minutes.
Chen Shouyi almost laughed and corrected, "one, two, three, four, count like this!"
Hearing this, the shell woman raised her head and looked at Chen Shouyi. Her eyes were a little disdainful and said, "you stupid giant, you can't count so many!"
Chen Shouyi's chest was stifled.
You are such an idiot in math that you despise me.
"Why not, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, you know?"
"I know!"
"Count it!"
The shell lady disdained to hum. It seemed that in order to prove how stupid the giant was from her IQ, she pretended to count.
"One, two, three, four..." on the count of four, she stopped and picked up the fourth small glass bead: "you see, this is only one, why do you have to say four?"
……
In the twinkling of an eye, another few days have passed, and the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.
However, today's Hedong doesn't feel the festivity of the approaching Spring Festival at all, only the increasingly depressed atmosphere.
As soon as a young clerk of a neighborhood committee put up a job advertisement at the door of the community, the outside was quickly surrounded by people.
Chen Shouyi walked downstairs and glanced curiously.
The recruits are basically general workers in machinery factories. Of course, there are also some positions with higher pay, such as machine maintenance, such as mechanical engineer and mechanical designer, but these all require certain professional technology and knowledge, which can only be prohibitive for the vast majority of people in the community.
He looked up into the distance and found that, unconsciously, there were several more chimneys spewing white smoke nearby.
Chen Shouyi has never been a person with a cold and sad autumn, but at this moment, he feels heavy for no reason.
He clearly felt that the brilliant material civilization of mankind was declining rapidly. Maybe this was the turning point that was about to enter another kind of brilliance, and maybe it was permanent degradation.
……
In the afternoon, some people in the community began to publicize the belief of barbarian gods, holding an iron trumpet and loudly declaring that believing in gods is the only way out for mankind and the beginning of human glory. If mankind persists in resisting gods, mankind will perish and the whole world will fall into hell. They vowed to see gods with their own eyes.
It immediately attracted many onlookers.
But a few hours later, the police came to the door and caught the madman.
When he was caught, he shouted crazily all the way.
To claim that he has been declared the spokesman of the gods is to desecrate the gods by arresting him.
……
"If worshipping God can really keep peace, it's not impossible." When Chen's mother came back, she was worried.
Chinese people have always been pragmatic and utilitarian about faith. For most people, as long as it is good, that God is not worship.
"This can only be said in private, not outside." Chen Dawei advised.
"I'm not a fool, I'm just talking casually!" Chen's mother glared at him.
At this time, the air defense cannon outside sounded again. Chen Shouyi walked to the balcony, and several dots in the sky were constantly circling. In the past ten days, the invasion of alien creatures had become more and more serious.
"Don't look, it's time for dinner!" Chen Mu Dao.
Ps: sorry, there are some caveins these days.
