Chapter 146: The Decline of Civilization
Chen Shouyi carried a bow bag and a sword box and walked out of the old-fashioned tube building.
The fine snowflakes fell one after another, it was already snowing outside, Chen Shouyi restrained the urge to use his natural ability, and let the snowflakes fall on his body, and in just a few steps, a layer of snow was already on his shoulders.
It was really bad weather.
It's getting colder and colder these days.
He let out a long breath of white air, hung his bow bag and sword case on the handlebars, unlocked it, mounted his bicycle, and hurried back.
It was located in the suburbs, thirty or forty kilometers away from his house, and if he didn't hurry, it would be dark when he got home.
From time to time, you can see relief stations run by the city government.
Not only was it full of people, but there was also a long queue at the door, some with umbrellas, some simply let the snow fall, and under this kind of cold and freezing, everyone was wrapped in coats or down jackets, still shivering from the cold, and their faces were blue.
Now the banks are still unable to withdraw money, most of the companies are completely closed, there is no source of income, and many people do not have much cash in their hands at all, basically moonshine people.
If there is no relief, the entire Hedong City will probably become a mess in an instant.
Chen Shouyi's face was silent, and he pedaled the bicycle quickly, speeding all the way.
......
Three steam trucks wrapped in tarpaulins approached.
On the front of the old-fashioned train-like locomotive, white smoke was puffing up, and the connecting rods of the six pairs of wheels connected to each other were constantly rotating, making a huge noise.
Back in the community, it was already five o'clock, and it was just getting dark.
The snow on the ground has accumulated more than half a foot thick,
Chen Shouyi rode into the parking lot, glanced at the rows of cars that had accumulated a thick layer of gray, drove to the corner and locked the car, dusted off the snow on his shoulders and hair, and was steaming all over his body.
......
At night, the flame the size of a candle bean on the computer desk glows faintly red.
Chen Shouyi pulled out the strange alloy sword, inserted the maintenance oil on the surface of the sword, and looked at it carefully.
In the dim light, the edge shimmered with fine patterns like fish scales, and the edge was not flawless, as if it had never been used, and the cold light was shining.
He rubbed his fingers lightly against the edge of the blade.
"Shhh
His hand suddenly hurt slightly, and when he picked up his index finger to see it, he actually made a cut, and blood slowly overflowed.
Good sharp sword.
A hint of surprise flashed in his heart, knowing that with his physique, even if the nano-hardened membrane sword wanted to cut the skin, it would take some force, and this sword, just a light rub, made him hurt.
Suddenly, he got up, swung his sword and slashed at the corner of the table, the blade of the sword cut through the composite board of the computer desk, without making much noise, extremely smooth, and with a slash, he barely felt much resistance, and the corner of the table had already fallen off.
"No wonder, listening to Cao Zhenhua's wife, the other party liked this sword the most when he was alive, and this is definitely not an ordinary metal. Chen Shouyi thought thoughtfully.
He shook a few sword flowers, and felt more and more satisfied, a sword of more than ten kilograms seemed too heavy for a martial artist, but for him, it seemed quite handy, and it did not affect the speed of the sword at all.
I'll use this sword in the future.
He inserted the sword into the scabbard, looked at the cut finger again, and saw that it had already healed completely.
......
"Big gems, one by one!"
"Big gems, one by one...... One of them!"
The shell girl sat on the bed, with four crystal balls in front of her, and a piece of glass beads and small glass beads, blushing and playing with self-amusement, and under the appeasement of a large crystal ball, she was no longer obsessed with watching cartoons in a short time.
"Little gems, one by one...... One by one!" she counted for more than a minute, almost not taking a breath.
Chen Shouyi almost laughed out loud and corrected: "One, two, three, four, you have to count like this!"
Hearing this, the shell girl raised her head and looked at Chen Shouyi, her eyes were a little disdainful: "You stupid giant, you can't count like this!"
Chen Shouyi's chest suffocated.
You're such an idiot in math that you still despise me.
"Why not, one-two-three-four-five-six-seven, you know?"
"Yes!"
"You count!"
Shell snorted disdainfully, as if trying to prove how stupid the giant was in terms of intelligence.
"One, two, three, four...... counted for a while, then she stopped and picked up four small glass beads: "Look, this is just one, why do you have to say it's four?"
......
In the blink of an eye, another few days have passed, and the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.
However, in today's Hedong, there is no sense of joy when the Spring Festival is approaching, and there is only a more and more depressing atmosphere day by day.
As soon as a young civil servant from a neighborhood committee posted a job poster at the entrance of the community, the outside was quickly filled with people.
Chen Shouyi walked downstairs and glanced over curiously.
The recruitment is basically the general workers of the machinery factory, of course, there are also some positions with higher salary, such as mechanical repair, such as mechanical engineers, mechanical designers, but these require certain professional skills and knowledge, for the vast majority of people in the community, can only be prohibitive.
He looked up into the distance, only to realize that before he knew it, there were already several more chimneys spewing white smoke nearby.
Chen Shouyi has never been a sad person, but at this moment, he feels heavy for no reason.
He clearly felt that the splendid material civilization of mankind was declining rapidly, and perhaps this was about to enter a turning point of another glory, or perhaps it was a permanent sinking.
......
In the afternoon, some people in the community began to promote the belief in barbarian gods, holding an iron horn, loudly declaring: Belief in gods is the only way out for mankind, and it is also the beginning of a new era, if human beings insist on resisting, human beings will perish, and the whole world will fall into hell, and swear that they have seen the gods with their own eyes.
It attracted a lot of onlookers.
But a few hours later, the police came to the door and arrested the madman.
When caught, he yelled frantically all the way.
Claiming that he has been made the spokesman of the gods, and arresting him is a blasphemy against the gods.
......
"If worshipping God really keeps you safe, it's not that you can't worship it. Specially walked downstairs, and after Chen's mother, who was in the fun, came back, she was worried.
Chinese people have always been pragmatic and utilitarian in their beliefs, and for most people, as long as there is a benefit, that god is not worshipped.
"You can only say this in private, not outside. Chen Dawei advised.
"I'm not stupid, I'm just talking casually!" Chen Mu glared at him.
At this time, the anti-aircraft cannon outside rang out again, Chen Shouyi walked to the balcony, a few small dots in the sky, constantly circling, in the past ten days, the invasion of creatures from another world has become more and more serious.
"Don't look at it, let's eat!" Chen Mu said.
PS: Sorry, but there are some Kavin these days.
