In February, the Spring Festival is coming.

People this year don't have New Year's joy and short-term happiness, even if it's self-deception. Life was hard, but I still managed to endure it. When my heart breaks, I have nothing.

It is true that the mood in society has barely stabilized under the government's vigorous propaganda, but there are still many people who feel hopeless and do not see the way forward. Suicides have occurred almost every day for two months.

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. The available land area has also been recovered from the border. Special areas such as mountains, rivers and the sea are uninhabited for thousands of miles.

The old man could not endure the torture and illness and died a lot under the influence of various factors. This middle-aged man worked hard to support his family. Young people are either decadent and passive, or they are in their sophomore year of high school. They shout at each other all day long, hoping to get on the road to success.

No one wants children, the birth rate has plummeted, and the world's population is experiencing negative growth.

It's not the end of time, it's better than the end of time. Even scarier than the method of instant death is to have you experience it firsthand, watching the world slowly change, cutting meat with a blunt knife, which is brutal and painful.

......

Phoenix Square, at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

It's snowing heavily, but it's warm like spring here. The party is open 24 hours a day. People are always flowing like weavers, and the noise is like a hustle and bustle. Some were dressed in civilian clothes, and on the high seas, mediocre, powerful, and imperious, and many foreigners roamed the neighborhood.

Due to the unstable atmosphere and low cultivation efficiency recently, many disciples gave themselves holidays and moved from one place to another, so Fang Shi naturally became a frequent place.

They hang out inside, uniforming their clothes, which is also an extra security measure.

"Eight Immortal Fist, Tai Chi Sword, Fan Shuibu... Let's see. Absolutely authentic traditional martial arts are different from those who are gorgeous and vulgar dancers. Let's see!"

In front of a small shop, the owner shouted loudly with a loudspeaker. Many of the so-called "loose repairs" on their arms stopped, either firing them or going into the store to discuss them.

"Boss, I'm here!"

A man in thin clothes suddenly gathered nearby, holding a bag stuffed with a bulky padded jacket. The boss looked at it several times and asked suspiciously, "What do you want?"

"We had an appointment the day before yesterday, I bought ...... at noon today" The man was in a hurry.

"Oh, oh, I remember!"

The boss suddenly took him to the back room and said, "You are very punctual. How's it going? Is it cold outside?"

"Without further ado, do you have anything?"

"Absolutely. You don't have to look where I am. ”

The boss opened a small box and pulled out a thin booklet. "Come on, pay the money, hand over the courier."

The man glanced at it and saw that the pamphlet was only 20 pages long. The printing quality is poor and the paper is not very good. On the title page are a few black words: "Golden Toad Locking Method".

He flipped it over first. There are words and pictures in it. It looks like a model. He took out his large padded jacket and unzipped it. It is encased in a lockbox.

The man was about to hand it over, when he hesitated again and said, "Don't lie to me, I have everything here!"

"In other words, children and the elderly are not deceived in our cause. Besides, if I set up shop here, can I escape?"

Immediately, the man tangled over the box and packed the book. The boss took the counter and counted the hula. The numbers aren't bad.

"Don't bother. This matter is too sensitive. Cash settlement is more secure. ”

The boss put the banknotes in the safe and sent the man out the door, still smiling: "Come back when you're ready." ”

What they thought was a hidden act was seen by people in the vicinity. The man was thin and had an ordinary face, like a layer of smoke in a cage. He saw his face clearly, but after thinking about it, he couldn't remember.

"Alas...

He looked at the man's cat's waist like a treasure and sighed.

"Golden Toad Locking Qi Method" is true, it is indeed a good way to nourish qi, and you can enter the door the day after tomorrow. There was at least $600,000 in that box.

600,000 yuan, in the basic methods and tactics, is it a loss or a value?

Recently, the craze for immortals has reached its peak. Everyone believes that the practice of the Tao is the best way to alleviate suffering.

Don't say how high the state is, just say nourish the spirit, when you have the feeling of qi, your body will become better, your strength will become stronger, you won't get sick easily, and you can even resist the cold.

A book is worth $10,000!

Secret deals like this are everywhere. The government may have hesitated to take tough measures.

Because it's a very contradictory issue, take the case of the unsuitable chestnut: like Sam's state's gun license, a person with a gun protects safety, property, and prevents others from committing crimes. But at the same time, it breeds its own crimes and even struggles with public power.

“......“

The thin man shook his head, didn't think about it, just wandered around the square city. From time to time, the disciples in the mountains passed by and ignored them one by one.

He turned around at random, but his emotions weren't there. He went out of the east gate again, avoiding the main road, and went out into the barren wilderness.

Snowflakes are flying all over the sky, and they are silvery white. Large snowflakes fell, quickly covering the hair and shoulders. They interact with body temperature to create a feeling of coolness and comfort.

He walked forward, and before he knew it, he had come to the river. The river flows out of the mountains, the upstream is clear and soft, and it is already cold and dangerous here.

The man looked angry. Seeing that there was no one around, he released the Dharma Boat and went down the river.

......

Boom.

Swallow and fail!

There is no sunlight, and in the dark deep sea, the sea water suddenly vibrates, as if a shell has fallen, driving the water waves forward quickly, forming a chaotic space with a dull sound.

An extremely thick red tentacle appeared, followed by a stretch, revealing the massive body behind him.

It is a giant squid 30 meters long, red all over its body, with ten tentacles. The diameter of the suction cup on the tentacle is 10 cm. The eyes are bigger and more intimidating, like two lights, swimming straight and poking.

On the opposite side is a long-bearded sperm whale.

King squid is a favorite food of sperm whales. In order to eat well, he often gave up his life and forgot about death. It was at this moment that the squid seized the opportunity and suddenly wrapped its tentacles around the whale, and the guy grabbed the squid's tail.

The two behemoths rolled violently, churning the ocean floor like an explosion. The rest of the small fish and shrimp retreated one after another.

The squid's suckers are very special. It appears to absorb flesh directly through the epidermis. After a while, the sperm whale was already scarred, and not to be outdone, it suddenly opened its large mouth and let out a strange call.

"Giggles!"

A strange sound wave disturbs the squid's nerves. The monster trembled, its eyes half-closed, showing human suffering.

"Okay!"

A figure suddenly thrust in the middle, pressing one hand and pointing left and right. The two giants were hostile to each other, but did not dare to move. They're awesome, but this woman is even better. No way.

"Let you look at the house and fight for me all day while playing!"

Xiaozhai waved his hand, and the two natural enemies in the food chain, like a pair of noisy bears, left together.

"The governor is too majestic!"

Just then, another familiar voice sounded overhead.

"Why are you here?"

"It's okay to go out and play. I've been bored lately. ”

The current undulated, and the narrow white bone shuttle boat showed its shape and disappeared in an instant. Beautiful little German Shepherd floated down from above.
