In February, the Spring Festival is approaching.

This year, people do not have the joy and short-term joy of the New Year, and they can't even do it by deceiving themselves. The days are hard, and I can stand up, but my heart is broken, but there is nothing left.

Under the government's vigorous public opinion propaganda, it is true that the social mood has been barely stabilized, but there are still many people who are desperate and do not see the way forward. For two months, there have been almost daily suicides.

Before the collapse of the world, Xia had a population of nearly 2 billion and a land area of more than 10 million square kilometers. In just seven years, the population has shrunk to 1.5 billion, and the usable land area has also been recovered from the border.

The elderly could not bear the toss and illness, and died in large numbers under various factors, and the middle-aged people worked hard to support their families. Young people are either decadent and negative, or they are hot-blooded in middle school, babbling all day long, hoping to embark on the road of immortality.

No one wants to have children, the birth rate is plummeting, and the whole world is experiencing negative population growth.

It is not the last days, it is better than the last days. What is even more terrifying than the instant death method is that it allows you to experience all this firsthand, watching the previous world slowly change, and the blunt knife cuts the flesh, which is ruthless and painful.

……

At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, Phoenix Fang.

Outside the heavy snowfall, here is as warm as spring, the market is open 24 hours a day, every moment is the flow of people, noisy like boiling. There are plainly dressed, there are high-flying waves, some are mediocre, some are mighty and domineering, and there are many foreigners hanging inside.

Due to the unstable aura and low efficiency of cultivation recently, many disciples gave themselves vacations and ran around, and Fang City naturally became a frequent place.

They roam around inside, uniformly dressed, and act as additional security guards.

"Eight Immortal Fist, Taiyi Sword, Lost Steps...... Let's take a look, the absolutely authentic traditional martial arts are different from those gorgeous and fancy dancing, let's take a look!"

At the door of a small shop, the boss put on a loudspeaker and shouted hard. Many so-called loose cultivators with internal qi stopped and stayed, or went away with disdain, or entered the store to discuss.

"Boss, I'm here!"

A thinly dressed man suddenly approached, carrying a bag and a large bloated padded jacket. The boss looked at it a few times and said suspiciously, "What do you want to buy?"

"We made an appointment the day before yesterday, and I'll buy ...... at noon today" The man suddenly became anxious.

"Oh, I remember!"

The boss suddenly pulled him into the inner room and said, "You're quite punctual, how are you, it's cold outside?"

"Less nonsense, do you have something?"

"Of course, you don't look at what kind of place I am. ”

The boss opened a small box and took out a thin booklet, "Come, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

The man glanced at it and saw that the booklet was only about 20 pages, the printing quality was poor, the paper was not very good, and there were a few black words written on the title page: "Golden Toad Locking Air Method".

He flipped through it first, there were words and pictures in it, and it looked decent, so he pulled out the big cotton jacket and opened the zipper, and there was a lockbox wrapped in it.

The man was about to hand it over, but he hesitated and said, "Don't fool me, my whole net worth is here!"

"That's what I said, we don't deceive children in business, and I just opened a store here, can I still run away?"

Immediately, the man tangled over the box and picked up the book. The boss carried the money counter and counted the hulala, and the number was not bad.

"Don't be too troublesome, this transaction is too sensitive, cash settlement is safe. ”

The boss put the banknotes in the safe and sent the man out, still smiling: "Come back at any time, welcome at any time!"

The movements they thought were hidden were all watched by a person not far away. This person is very thin, with an ordinary face, like a layer of smoke, I can clearly see his face, but I can't remember it at all when I think about it later.

"Alas......

He couldn't help but sigh as he watched the man run away like a treasure.

"Golden Toad Locking Qi Method" is true, it is indeed a good method of nourishing qi, which can enter the acquired doorway. And the box contained at least 600,000 yuan.

600,000 yuan, in exchange for a basic method, is it a loss or a value? Only you know.

Recently, the craze for seeking immortals has reached a peak, and everyone regards cultivation as the best way to relieve the sea of suffering.

When you have a sense of qi, your body will become better, your strength will increase, you will not be able to get sick easily, and you can even resist the cold.

A book of ten thousand profits!

Covert dealings like these two have taken place everywhere, and the government has been hesitant and has not taken strong measures.

Because this is a very contradictory question, to take a chestnut that may not be appropriate: like Sam's country's gun license, people have guns, they can protect their safety, their property, and stop others from committing crimes. But at the same time, it will also breed its own crimes, and even oppose public power.

“……”

The thin man shook his head, not thinking about this difficult problem, but just wandering around the market. From time to time, there were disciples in the mountains who walked by, ignoring them one by one.

He spun around at random, not in a mood, and went out of the east gate again, avoiding the main road, and walking towards the uninhabited wilderness.

The sky was covered with snow, and it was silvery white. Large snowflakes fell, and soon covered the hair and shoulders, and the body temperature was intertwined, giving birth to a cool and cool comfort.

He walked and walked, and before he knew it, he was at the river. The river flows from the mountains, and the upper reaches are clear and supple, but it is cold and oppressive here.

The man looked very bored, and when he saw that there was no one around, he simply released the magic boat and went down the river.

…………

Rumble!

gurgling!

There was no sunlight, and in the dark and secluded deep sea, the sea water suddenly shook, as if a cannonball had been released, driving the water waves to advance rapidly, forming a chaotic space, and making a dull sound.

A red, extremely thick tentacle appeared, stretching out one after another, revealing the huge body behind it.

This is a king squid with a body length of 30 meters, red all over, with ten tentacles, and the sucker on the tentacles alone has a diameter of 10 centimeters. The eyes are even bigger and more terrifying, like two bright lights, swimming straight over.

Opposite it, it was the long-bearded sperm whale.

King squid is the favorite food of sperm whales, and they often sacrifice their lives to die in order to eat well. Just like at this moment, the squid seized the opportunity and suddenly wrapped its tentacles around the whale's body, and the guy bit the squid's tail.

The two giant beasts tumbled violently, stirring the bottom of the sea like an explosion, and the rest of the small fish and shrimp retreated.

The squid's sucker is very special, it seems to be able to suck flesh directly through the epidermis. Not long after, the sperm whale was already scarred, and it was not to be outdone, opening its huge mouth and making a strange call.

"Gurgle!"

A strange sound wave interfered with the squid's nerves, and the behemoth trembled all over, its eyes half-closed, revealing human pain.

"That's it!"

A figure suddenly inserted himself in the middle, holding one in one hand, and one point to the left and right. The two giant beasts were hostile to each other, but they didn't dare to move, they were very awesome, but this woman was even more awesome, there was no way.

"Let you watch the house, fight with me all day long, and play while you go!"

Xiao Zhai waved his hand, and the two guys who were natural enemies in the food chain, like a pair of noisy bear children, left together.

"The lord of the mansion is so majestic!"

At this moment, another familiar voice sounded overhead.

"Why are you here?" said Xiao Zhaiqi.

"It's okay to go out and hang out, I've been annoyed lately. ”

The current fluctuated, and the narrow white bone shuttle boat showed its shape, and then disappeared in an instant, and the good-looking little wolf dog floated down from above.

(Ah, I'm going to wish you a happy Valentine's Day, dear single dogs...... ）
