Chapter 68 The Food Crisis

Wang Ke has been in the workplace for eight years, and he has become a veteran in the workplace from a young college student who just joined the company.

Punch in and out of work every day, come to the company on time, and complete your own work no more.

Goji berries and thermos cups are his standard nowadays, and occasionally a few large red dates are added.

Being able to get a stable salary every month is his only pursuit.

Once he also had ambitions, ideals, and pursuits, but they were all quietly worn out unconsciously.

The child was born and needed milk powder money, and now he has just entered kindergarten, of course, he wants to go to a better bilingual kindergarten, not to pursue anything, but the parents around him are so demanding, he can't let his child lose at the starting line, he can't give his child the best, but he can give his child the best.

So he didn't dare to resign, so he could only complete his work every day while occasionally stealing a little laziness.

The days passed like this, life was not too good, but it was passable.

Sometimes he also looks out the window or the ceiling in the middle of the night in a daze, and he will also have a moment of unwillingness, and the ambition of his youth is buried in the deepest part by the soil called life.

Maybe...... It never sprouts.

Forever, Forever......

It will be buried deep in the ground forever.

He and his wife steered the family's boat and let it slowly move forward in the sea called life.

Maybe one day when he gets old, the helmsman of this boat will be handed over to his son.

He also imagined what his old age would be like.

Like the old men and ladies in the park now, I go for a walk every day, square dance, tai chi, and occasionally sign up for a tour with other old men and women of the same age. When you are older, you can only lie on the sofa at home, watch TV and computer every day, and your children come back to see you during the New Year's holidays.

Is this the life you want?

But sometimes he thinks it's pretty good, and it's no different from clocking in to work every day anyway.

Life...... So be it.

However, he didn't expect that five days ago had changed the life he thought would be like this for the rest of his life.

Five days ago, the world outside the window suddenly lost its light, and endless darkness engulfed the entire city.

By the time the light returned, many cars had collided on the street outside.

He heard many cries and quarrels.

He thought of his son who was still in kindergarten class, he called the teacher but found that the mobile phone had no signal, he quickly went to the manager's office to ask for leave to pick up his son in the kindergarten, he is also an old employee, the manager was very good to give him a leave note and asked him to pay attention to safety on the road.

He took his son, who was a little frightened and held him and refused to let go, and when he left, the kindergarten teacher told him that he would have a holiday tomorrow.

He found that his wife had not come back either, and he suddenly remembered that his wife seemed to be on a business trip to another city today.

That's when he was in the mood to check the Book of Callings.

He summoned a forest wolf from the Book of Summons.

The ferocious forest wolf scared his son into tears, and he quickly summoned the forest wolf back.

Then he found that his son summoned a slime to play with him, Wang Ke was a little worried that the slime would hurt his son, so he wanted to snatch the slime over, and then the slime spat out the acid to corrode his clothes, and then the acid corroded to his chest when the forest wolf was automatically summoned just now.

He was in a hurry again, and it took a long time to figure out that these summoned beasts would not harm their masters, and they were completely obedient to their masters' orders.

It took him four or five hours to make his son no longer so afraid of the forest wolf, and affectionately hugged the head of the forest wolf and called the big dog.

He found that there was no gas, there was no electricity, and the water flow was much lighter than normal.

He went downstairs to the convenience store and bought some panels, as well as biscuits and mineral water, and took them home to satisfy his hunger.

Looking at his son, who was happy to sit on the sofa and eat snacks, he smiled helplessly.

At night, he lay on the large bed in his bedroom and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

He took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album, looking at the photo of himself and his daughter-in-law inside, and couldn't help but have a warm smile on his face.

The next day he wanted to go to work only to find that the bus was out of service and the bus stop was crowded with people who wanted to take the bus.

He was dumbfounded.

Then he took a taxi to the company, but the door of the company was closed, and a notice was posted at the door that he would not go to work for the time being.

He was suddenly anxious, how could he do without a job!

When he went downstairs with a heavy heart, he found that several companies downstairs were temporarily on vacation and did not go to work.

He noticed something was wrong.

When he returned home, he saw that his son had secretly eaten all the snacks.

He thought that the power and gas outages would only be short-lived, but there was no electricity or water for the next few days.

There are fewer and fewer food-related shops outside, and the prices are getting more and more expensive, and on the third day, he even saw a box of deer biscuits being fried to the price of 300 yuan a box!

The price of biscuits sold at 9.9 in the supermarket has increased 30 times.

For four days, people from the neighborhood committee came to every house to inform him of the news, and it was only then that he knew what was happening outside the city.

No wonder the price of food is so expensive now, it turns out that the whole city is wrapped in a super forest with no borders, and all the access paths to the outside world are covered by forests.

In other words, the entire city of six million people is trapped in this city.

There are also monsters in the suburbs and more monsters in the forest, wild fruits and vegetables, and various animals, and the people of the neighborhood committee have also pointed out a "clear way" for people in the city who are gradually falling into food difficulties.

They can get food from the forest.

The problem of contradictions was transferred to the outside of the city.

He's not stupid, but he can't do it any other way.

There is still a little food left in the house, which my wife bought before her business trip, and there is not much left.

It was enough for him and his son to eat for two more days.

So he joined the community's hunting party on the first day.

But what happened next made him desperate, and the leader of the community hunting team was a fool.

Take them to wander around the suburbs, the suburbs are full of people! There are people everywhere! There are still monsters everywhere, all the monsters have been killed, and trying to meet monsters is just like buying a lottery ticket to win the lottery depends on luck.

There were some men in the team who were talking about going to the forest to hunt monsters, and he wanted to go too, but he couldn't worry about his son...... If something goes wrong with him, the only pillar of the family will collapse!

Moreover...... Besides, there is still a little food at home.

In the end, he followed the men around the suburbs for a day, and the leader did not dare to go into the forest.

After returning to the community, he vowed that he would be a fool if he went out with these people again tomorrow and wasted time.

Today, there was not much food left at home, and Wang Ke was very panicked.

He knew that he couldn't wait until he had finished eating to get food, otherwise it would be unknown whether he would have the strength to get food at that time.

Today he and five other men in the community formed a team to go to the forest border.

Their so-called boundary is the area within a thousand meters deep into the forest, this range is full of people, I don't know how many people have searched it, but they dare not go deeper places, I heard that many people died.

Then, after searching all day in the morning, I found a dozen wild fruits, a snake and a few handfuls of unknown wild vegetables.

In the afternoon, they ventured deeper into the forest, and found a quagmire with slimes congregated, but the quagmire was overrun by another team with more people, and they were too small to fight.

The deeper you go, the thinner you are, but the more dangerous you are......
