Hedong City seems to have turned into a pool of stagnant water, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more depressed day by day.

Early the next morning, Chen's father and Chen's mother finally couldn't hold it anymore, so they called Chen Shouyi, borrowed a tricycle, and went to the vegetable market to continue purchasing.

When the group came there, they found that there were soldiers standing guard everywhere outside the vegetable market, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Walking into the vegetable market, there are few stalls, and except for an officially supplied grain and oil store, the price has not risen, and all vegetables and meat are expensive, more than several times more expensive than before the mutation.

"Why is it so expensive? Who can afford to eat this, and it doesn't look fresh. Mother Chen picked up a cabbage, and after asking the price, she asked for nine yuan a catty, and suddenly said suddenly.

"I said sister-in-law, this is really not expensive, I came wholesale here, and it was not much cheaper, so I made hard money. ”

"But it's not that expensive, it's all compared to the previous meat price. ”

One vendor was a little impatient and said, "If you want to buy cheap, you can go to the suburbs to buy it, where it is much cheaper, and if you want to go to the countryside to buy it, it's like not having money." ”

Chen Shouyi frowned slightly, it is not easy to live in the city, especially for the current situation.

The anomaly had little impact on agriculture, or not for a short time.

However, with a population of tens of millions, Hedong is a mega-city that is itself built on the basis of modern and efficient logistics. Not to mention the vegetables and meat in the surrounding vegetable and meat bases, you can reach the city center in a few hours, and there is not much difference in price between the suburbs and the city center.

But now the level of logistics has degraded to the point that it is not better than the feudal era, from car transportation back to tricycles, so that the cost of logistics has increased dozens or even hundreds of times, and no matter how cheap things plus logistics costs, they will soar.

Although Chen's mother looked painful, after bargaining, she finally bought a lot of Chinese cabbage at the price of eight yuan, and then bought a fan of meat, more than a dozen catties of eggs, two barrels of oil, and five bags of 25 kilograms of grain before leaving the vegetable market.

"This little thing cost more than 3,000 yuan!" Chen's mother sat on the tricycle and said bitterly: "Next time I go to buy it, I must go to the countryside to buy it." ”

"Mom, forget it, it's more expensive. Chen Shouyi pedaled on the tricycle and said loudly: "There are soldiers in the urban area who are under martial law, which is quite safe, but I don't know what to do in the countryside, in a few days, I will be paid, and it should be enough to live." ”

Mother Chen frowned, and just as she was about to speak, she noticed that a few pedestrians on the side of the road glanced at this from time to time, with greed and covetousness in their eyes that could not be concealed, and she immediately swallowed it.

Seeing this, Chen Shouyi glanced coldly, fortunately, soldiers and policemen could be seen on the road from time to time, but there was no one who was not long-sighted and dared to rob.

In troubled times, except for the first day of the mutation, there were still people who took advantage of the chaos to smash and loot, but as the soldiers took to the streets and began martial law, especially after killing some chaotic elements on the spot, in order to deter, no one dared to do evil on the streets.

Of course, those sins hidden in the shadows still can't be stopped.

In this oppressive atmosphere, life is difficult day by day, and many people are full of fear and confusion about the future.

In addition, information has become closed, and it has become impossible to hear other information except for a radius of a few kilometers. Being in the middle of a city is like being stuck on an island.

No one knows what's going on out there now.

Has the war begun, or is there still peace?

Anxious, frightened, and restless, under all kinds of stimuli, even a person who used to be gentle and elegant may release the demon in his heart in the blink of an eye, and during these days, you can hear everywhere where people are killed.

......

Chen Shouyi pedaled the tricycle all the way back to the community, and saw several policemen carrying a body that had been put into a body bag and carrying it onto a specially modified Dadou tricycle, on which there were already two bodies.

One of them, judging by the size, is still a child, which is obviously a family of three.

The residents of the community in the distance pointed and pointed in a low voice, and they did not dare to approach from afar.

"Don't look at it, bad luck, go quickly!" Chen Mu urged with an uneasy expression.

Chen Shouyi answered, retracted his gaze, continued to pedal the tricycle, and it didn't take long for him to come downstairs in the community.

He carried five bags of grain on his shoulders, and with both hands he picked up a fan of pork and two barrels of cooking oil, and walked up the stairs with Chen's mother.

......

"Mom, brother, you're back, where is Dad?" asked Chen Xingyue.

"Your dad went to return the tricycle!" said Chen's mother, who was a little uneasy.

"I'll tell you something, the police just came, and someone on the ninth floor died. Chen Xingyue said.

"When I came, I saw it outside, and it was our building that died?" Chen Shouyi said in surprise.

Ten minutes later, Chen Dawei also came back, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help sighing: "Do you think the people in our building did it?"

He didn't have much to worry about, not to mention that his son was a martial artist, even his daughter was a martial arts apprentice, and it was not enough for ordinary murderers to deal with his family.

"No, I think the people here are pretty good-looking. Chen's mother said.

"Mom, who knows people and faces but doesn't know their hearts, who can say for sure. Chen Xingyue pursed her lips and said.

......

After eating at noon, Chen Shouyi stayed at home for a while, but he couldn't stay anymore, he was bored at home every day, and he was almost bored.

He walked all the way, and before he knew it, he was near the haunted house.

He suddenly felt a little strange, it seemed that something was wrong, there were still hundreds of meters away from the haunted house, but he already felt a faint eerie meaning, he looked up in the direction of the haunted house, and faintly seemed to feel that the light was a little dim.

I didn't expect it to be so serious!

This spirit of nature is getting stronger and stronger.

He noticed that there was a thick layer of snow on the concrete road of the alley, and there were no other footprints on it except for a few scattered footprints.

Chen Shouyi hesitated in his heart, and was about to go into the alley to take a look at the haunted house, but he was stopped by a soldier standing guard on the side of the road after he walked a few steps:

"It's forbidden to enter. ”

He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he heard this, took out his martial arts card, and asked, "What happened inside?"

After inspecting it, the soldier's expression was solemn, and he said: "It is haunted inside, and many people have died, and now the people in the vicinity have been relocated to other places." In order to avoid panic among the people in the vicinity, please do not spread the word. ”

"Isn't there anyone here to deal with it?" Chen Shouyi wondered.

"The Investigation Bureau of the Third Category came the day before yesterday, but it still came to no avail, and now I can only temporarily isolate for the time being. ”

said that it was in vain, in fact, the two people who went, when they came back, one was pale, as if he was greatly frightened, and the other was completely crazy.
