Chapter 13 Stone Tablet
Chen Yiming patted his younger brother's shoulder and signaled that he could go back.
Chen Jing hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help it: "They ......"
"They just did what they didn't dare to do in a society governed by the rule of law. Chen Yiming said.
"Alas......" Chen sighed in surprise.
"Let's go. Chen Yiming's expression was a little complicated when he said this.
It's only been less than two days.
Perhaps something more terrible could have happened in a place he didn't see.
......
Finally back in the community.
After Chen Yiming returned home, he first checked the food.
The things at home have not been moved, Chen Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable.
"Brother. Why don't we go to the city border and find a house to live in?" Chen said, "It's too time-consuming to run around every day. ”
Chen Yiming thought for a while, "What if the monsters in the forest invade the city, it's too dangerous to live on the border of the city, and the first people to be attacked are the people who live on the edge of the city." ”
"But if this happens, there is not much difference between living in the border and in the city, high risk and high return. Chen said in surprise.
"But people who live on the city borders can buy us time. Chen Yiming was silent for a moment and then spoke, his tone indescribably cold.
Chen was shocked and stopped talking.
"It would be nice to have a car, even if it's a battery car. Chen was shocked for a while, smashing it, smashing it.
"No matter what kind of car costs electricity and fuel, these are non-renewable resources, and the devil knows if you can find oil mines here. Chen Yiming shook his head, "And you're not afraid of being stolen, now the city is full of Che Guvalas." ”
"Brother, you think too badly about people, even if you get bad, it won't be so fast, after all, you're a city person. Chen muttered, and then was a little melancholy: "Then what should we do?" ”
"Actually, it's pretty good that we live here now, it's only a little more than an hour or so away from the city border, and it's still within the acceptable range, and if something really happens, we have time to react, like those who live in the middle of the city...... If you want to get out of the city, you have to walk for four or five hours. Chen Yiming comforted his younger brother.
"That's just as well. ”
Chen nodded in surprise.
The two finally arrived outside the community building.
As soon as the two arrived downstairs, they saw a black man wearing a mask squatting obscenely in the carport of the battery car, glanced at the two of them, and then pretended to be tidying up his car.
But the toolbox at his feet and the half-dismantled battery exposed him......
The man in black was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, hurriedly pulled the hat on, then picked up the battery on the ground and hurried away, there were two large traditional Chinese characters for "wash rain" on the back of his clothes.
When I went upstairs, I heard the landlord's reprimand from the next room.
The landlord is a single old father, he often nagged that it was not easy for him to work hard to raise his daughter alone, fortunately, he lost 13 suites for demolition and relocation, and only 11 sets were left after selling two sets in recent years, and this man was always embarrassed whenever he mentioned that he only had 11 houses left.
At that time, Chen Yiming's face was expressionless, and he also toasted a glass of wine.
However, there is one thing to say, the landlord is usually very good to the tenants, even if sometimes it is too late to pay the rent for a month and a half due to difficulties.
But he is very strict with his daughter, never allowed to spend the night outside, is not allowed to go to the bar, and is not allowed to fall in love...... Usually you can always hear the sound of father and daughter arguing.
Back in his room, Chen Yiming closed the door and summoned the green skin.
The heightened green skin and goblin face are peering at each other.
The goblin took two steps back.
The goblin seemed to be a little incredulous, and the giant in front of him, who was 1.7 meters tall, was the goblin he had just met in the morning.
said that everyone was 1.4 meters together, but you secretly grew taller.
The goblin leaned in to touch the goblin's muscles.
Greenskin snorted contemptuously, not letting the goblin touch his muscles.
"I want to touch myself. Greenskin said arrogantly. "Small ribs. ”
"You must be inflated!" the goblin brought pliers, screwdrivers, and awls from the corner.
Greenskin raised his index finger and pointed at the goblin's forehead, and gently pushed it forward, causing the goblin's head to rise back and sit on the floor.
"Quack. Greenskin couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.
Dinner in the evening was an egg scramble, in which eggs stirred in a layer of oil and flour are fried on a pan and sprinkled with a layer of chopped green onions.
The fragrance is tangy.
But Chen Yiming knew that without a refrigerator and a cold room, it might be difficult to eat these foods in another half a month.
At the same time, the center of the city - Starlight Square.
In the center of Starlight Square, a large stone monument with a height of 100 meters appeared.
The stele appeared out of thin air and occupied the most central position of the city.
The surface of the stele is as smooth as new, with a huge 364 number on it.
Yesterday the stele still showed 365, but one night later, the number on it became 364 out of thin air.
There is no trace of artificiality, and in fact it is not at all possible for humans to do it.
In addition, there are many people who have secretly chiseled the stele, but the texture of the stele is very peculiar. Although the stele appears to be a stone, it cannot be destroyed by any material, not even a single white mark can be left on the stele.
In the evening, a team came to seal off the stone monument and prohibit others from touching it without permission.
However, because of the large size of the stele and its special location in Starlight Plaza, surrounded by high-rise office buildings and commercial buildings, the blockade is of little significance...... It is impossible to cover the entire stone monument, at most to prevent citizens from accessing.
In peacetime, this condition might have been possible, but now most of the city is without electricity, and it is difficult to integrate human and material resources after the loss of communications.
The control of the Shanshui City Hall over the city is gradually declining.
------
In just two days, prices soared throughout the city.
The city is cut off from the outside world, and the gossip circulates inside the city that the city is surrounded by forests.
Two moons appear in the night sky.
And the mysterious Book of Summons.
At present, except for a very small number of factories that are still operating brightly, most areas of the city are cut off from water, electricity and gas.
At night, the city is plunged into darkness.
At night, the streets are full of patrol cars, during which time the whole city is under martial law, and at night there is a curfew system, which prohibits citizens from moving in the streets after 1 a.m. and between 5 a.m. in the evening.
But the patrol cars in the streets and alleys lasted only two hours before they had to be stopped.
Because of the power outage, the surveillance in most areas of the city has disappeared, and there is no lighting, and the shadows cast by the high-rise buildings tens of hundreds of meters high almost engulf the entire lower level of the city in black shadows.
This is too inefficient and wastes the only remaining energy resources.
And for certain considerations, the Shanshui City Hall issued an order to lift the curfew for patrols.
