In the early morning of the next day, Luo Yuan was woken up by the loudspeaker of the propaganda car outside.

"Distinguished citizens! Dear citizens! ”

"In order to maintain stability, suppress prices, and protect people's livelihood, so that citizens who do not have access to food can also eat enough food. From now on, grain, drinking water, meat, and vegetables will be rationed. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have set up supply points in major farmers' markets, and citizens can limit the supply with their ID cards.

"Distinguished citizens! Dear citizens! ”

The loudspeakers outside played over and over again!

He was drowsy, quickly got up and dressed, and opened the door.

"What's going on out there?" Zhao Yali walked out of the bedroom door in her pajamas, yawned, and said with a confused face.

"The government has taken measures, and grain and vegetables can be rationed in the future?" Luo Yuan looked happy and said urgently.

Although he has stockpiled a lot of food and other supplies, it is difficult to buy those fresh vegetables and meat, because they will soon be snatched up, and he will sit on the empty mountain, how long can he eat such a small amount of food. Now that the city government has finally taken measures, it means that there is no need to worry about it in the future, which is undoubtedly a great joy.

After all, except for careerists and some fanatics, no one likes troubled times.

"I'll go check it out first and see if I can buy it?" Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Then let's go together, at least we can get a double portion." Zhao Yali said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"It's okay, you go get dressed, don't wash up yet, go over as soon as possible, there will definitely be a lot of people waiting, and there will be a long queue at that time."

"Ahh Zhao Yali only noticed at this time that she was still wearing pajamas, her face was slightly red, and she hurriedly closed the door.

The woman's movements of dressing were relatively slow, and by the time she got dressed and opened the door, ten minutes had passed, and looking at her appearance, it seemed that she had dressed up a little.

Luo Yuan smiled bitterly, and went out with her, as soon as he walked out of the building, even if he was mentally prepared, Luo Yuan was taken aback.

The community is crowded with people, he never noticed that there are so many people in this community, these people seem to be pulled by an invisible force, gathered into a huge flow of people, slowly flowing towards the gate of the community.

Residents with private cars, honking their horns non-stop, but unable to move in the crowd, some wise, open the car door and get out of the car, and walk forward with the flow of people.

These people carried vegetable baskets, basins, and even dragged a suitcase, but most of them were like Luo Yuan, with empty hands.

Originally, I thought that the flow of people in the community was spectacular enough, but when I walked out into the street, I realized that this was nothing at all.

It was like a river flowing into the sea, and as it continued to advance, countless small streams of people continued to merge into the street, and the whole street was almost gradually filled with people. Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali were squeezed around in the crowd, and they didn't need to move around at all, and their bodies were automatically pushed forward by the flow of people.

He usually only watched this kind of scene on TV, but he didn't expect it to happen in the real surroundings.

"It's so hilarious!" Zhao Yali said slightly excitedly, as if she was enjoying it: "I always felt that this city was very indifferent, there were so many people in the city, and there were only three or four people who had a good relationship?" It makes people feel very lonely, I didn't expect it to be so lively, just like when my mother talked about the market when I was a child. ”

Luo Yuan shook his head, unable to understand: "When the time comes, you will be lively, I would have known that there were so many people in Ludao, I would not come, when will it be our turn to wait until this continues." ”

He came out with some regrets.

"Maybe it's because I'm about to leave the city, I thought I would stay in this city for the rest of my life, marry a husband, and have children...... I didn't expect to go back after the worst time. Her expression was downcast, and her eyes quickly moistened.

"Don't think about sad things, in fact, the countryside is not safe now, there are many mutant beasts, you still persuade your parents to move to the city, or the town, at least it is safer."

"Well, but thank you, if you didn't help me, I wouldn't be able to hold on." Zhao Yali looked at Luo Yuan gratefully and said.

"Say thank you and see you, how can you say, we have been renting together for so long?" Luo Yuan smiled and said.

"No matter what, you must keep in touch in the future!" Zhao Yali said seriously.

"It's like life and death, I'm going to send you back tomorrow, and I'll talk about it when you get home." Luo Yuan was a little taboo about Zhao Yali's words, and hurriedly interrupted.

The two chatted and walked, and time flew by. After an hour, the crowd finally poured to the door of the nearest farmer's market.

Two rows of heavily armed armed policemen stood upright, holding automatic rifles in their hands, maintaining order in the ranks.

Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali poured into the market with the flow of people, and the various facilities in the market had been cleared and replaced by a large amount of materials piled up. A yellow cordon circles around the market, and every metre is guarded by a heavily armed armed policeman.

And every five meters, a simple iron trading window similar to a police booth has been set up, and there are more than 100 trading windows along the road, and if you add the other three sides, there are 4 or 500 trading points.

But even with so many trading points, the flow of people is unusually slow.

There were too many people, the air seemed stuffy and hot, and after only ten minutes, he and Zhao Yali were already sweating profusely.

He didn't have anything to do, after all, he was strong and strong, and he had never been sick since he had the system, whether it was physical strength or energy, the recovery speed was far beyond ordinary people, but Zhao Yali couldn't, I'm afraid they would suffer from heat stroke before it was their turn.

"Why don't we go to the front and squeeze it?" Luo Yuan said.

"I'm afraid I can't squeeze in, right?" Zhao Yali used her hand as a fan, trying to cool herself down, she looked at the crowded crowd and was eager to try.

"Leave it to me, grab my hand?" Luo Yuandao.

Zhao Yali was hesitating when her hand was grabbed by Luo Yuan, and then her body was pulled by him and squeezed forward.

Luo Yuan's strength is extremely strong, it is close to eleven o'clock, almost one and a half times that of a normal person, and he is agile, his eyes are fast, his body is like a swimming fish, and he is constantly advancing towards the gap between the crowd.

There was a lot of complaining around, but such behavior abounded in the flow of people, and Luo Yuan was not obvious among them. Chinese people are very tolerant of this kind of behavior, in fact, most office workers do not deal with crowded cars for a day.

After a while, Luo Yuan pulled Zhao Yali and finally squeezed to the first trading window.

"Why am I so much less than others, are you mistaken?" An elderly middle-aged woman said loudly.

"Because you are not a local account, please see the bulletin board outside for details." The young waitress sitting behind the computer said impatiently, "Don't take up space, come to the next one." ”

The middle-aged woman still wanted to argue, but was quickly pushed out of the way.

"I'll take them all, give me the lion's share." A bald man with a huge gold necklace around his neck waved a stack of bills and shouted.

"Each person can only buy shares for three days with their ID card, and you need to buy the rest after three days." The service staff glanced at the stack of banknotes and said lightly.

"Whether you can be accommodating or not, money is not a problem." The bald man said loudly.

"This is something that can't be helped, the policy stipulates, a total of two hundred!" The service staff explained.

"It looks like I can only buy it on the black market!" The bald man muttered, paid the bill, and took the two large plastic bags handed over by a staff member at the window.

At this time, it was finally Luo Yuan's turn, he took out his ID card and two hundred yuan, handed it to the waiter, and asked, "It's also three days." ”

The service staff took the money and ID card, entered it into the computer, and soon someone handed over two bags.

When Zhao Yali bought something, he took Zhao Yali's bag, and the two of them squeezed out of the market with difficulty.

"Squeezed me into a sweat, and finally came out and suffocated me?" Zhao Yali let go of the hand holding Luo Yuan's arm, looked at the crowd behind her who was still black and oppressive, and said with palpitations.

"See what's inside?"

"One bag is rice, it seems to be only five catties, and the other bag is one catty of meat, two catties of vegetables, three apples, five catties of drinking water, oh, and three pieces of chocolate, a small packet of toffee." Luo Yuan nodded and said.

"It's so dark, it costs two hundred for such a point, this money is getting less and less valuable, I'm afraid it used to be less than fifty yuan!" Zhao Yali said secretly.

"It's already cheap, what more are you going to do? At least it's much cheaper than the black market. Luo Yuan disagreed, he knew the black market market, now the grain in the black market has risen to twenty-five yuan a catty, and the meat is even more expensive, at least one hundred yuan a catty, at such a price, there is no place to buy it. In this way, 200 yuan is already very cheap.

"That's the government's purchase restriction, how can it be so dark, the government is crazy to grab money. I'm glad I'm going home, otherwise I can't afford to live in the city? She exhaled. She works as a clerk in a foreign-funded company, and her monthly salary does not exceed 3,000, even if the company does not go bankrupt, it is difficult to even support herself at such prices.

"That's just as well!" Luo Yuan smiled, but his smile was a little bitter.

In fact, what about the countryside?

Eight days ago, Captain Chen of the Gaotang Town Police Station called him to stock up on some food and get ready. He didn't say much at the time, but there was a sense of solemnity in and out of his words.

Luo Yuan was curious, so he went to Gaotang Town.

After a large area of cutting down trees and burning wasteland, the situation in Gaotang Town is very stable, and there is nothing abnormal.

But when he came to the intersection, he noticed a strange phenomenon. The farmland in Gaotang Town has been replanted with a new crop of rice, although it is almost the New Year, and it is still winter, but because of the abnormal climate, rice should grow very luxuriantly like other plants.

But this was not the case, he saw that the rice fields were overgrown with weeds, and they grew very dense and dense, and they were two or three inches taller than the rice, and the living space of the rice was already so tightly occupied by weeds that it could not even get sunlight, and it was impossible to compete with it.

He asked an old farmer who was passing by, and learned that this weed could not be removed with pesticides at all, so he could only rely on the old method to slowly pull it out of the farmland, but now the field is full of insects and snakes, and it is poisonous and ruthless, and no one dares to do so, so he can only let it be abandoned.

He was stunned at the time, confused, and didn't even know how to come back, only that the world was about to change.

At half past twelve at noon the next day, Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali packed up.

Luo Yuan took her two boxes, walked out of the community, hailed a taxi, and drove towards the station.

"How do you hold a wooden box?" Zhao Yali looked at the things in Luo Yuan's hand and asked curiously.

"A handicraft." Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Actually, you don't have to give gifts, it will cause them to misunderstand." Zhao Yali obviously misunderstood, and said a little weakly, if Luo Yuan came to the door with a gift, I am afraid that no matter how she explains, her parents will not believe it.

"You're mistaken, it's not a gift, I forgot about it, or I'll buy it at the train station." Luo Yuan replied with a smile.

"Don't buy it, or I'll have a headache for a long time." Zhao Yali hurriedly stopped, but forgot to ask what was inside this wooden box?

"Are you going home to see your parents? If you buy a gift, it is better to send a bag of rice, and the mother-in-law will definitely be happy. The driver heard the conversation and said lively.

Zhao Yali's face quickly flew two red glows.

"Actually, we're just ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, so she's afraid of misunderstanding." Seeing Zhao Yali's face flushed, Luo Yuan relieved the siege.

"I'm looking at it soon, of course my wife and I are here like this, where are you going? I mean, where to go by train? The driver asked.

"Yushui City!" Luo Yuan didn't want to talk too much, so he said concisely.

"Yushui City, is there a place where there is a Yushan?" At this time, the driver suddenly asked.

"Yes, Yushan is on the edge of Yushui City, a very famous tourist resort, the driver, have you been there?" Speaking of her hometown, Zhao Yali said with some excitement.

"I haven't played before, but you have to be careful, I heard from my friend that a lot of people have died there recently, and even armored vehicles have entered and fired for a day." The driver said solemnly.

Zhao Yali's face turned pale with fright.

Luo Yuan patted her on the shoulder, comforted her, and asked solemnly, "It's so serious, is your news reliable?" ”

"How can I deceive people about this kind of thing, it's no good, my buddy is from Yushui City, but he works in Donghu City, and now he has brought his parents here, and now it seems that Donghu City is safer, and many places are already in chaos." The driver said.

"This was news from a few days ago?" Luo Yuan continued to ask.

"Three days ago, it should have been settled by now." The driver said, "But it's always a good idea to be careful!" ”

"Thank you, master! If you don't say it, we still don't know the way? Luo Yuan immediately thanked.

"No, it's not easy for anyone now, I see, this end of the world is coming, and the government is still so strict? If you want me to say that it is better to give each person a gun than to be afraid every day now. ”

"Xiaoyuan, what should I do, do you think my parents will be fine?" Zhao Yali has no master of the six gods.

"Didn't you call last night, call again?" Luo Yuan reminded.

"Oh, yes! Right! She quickly pulled out the phone.

"Hey, Mom! Are you and Dad alright...... If nothing happens, I'll just ask, we should be able to get home at half-past three to four...... A colleague came to see me off...... It's a man...... Not what you think...... By the way, Mom, did something happen to Yu Shui...... Rat-plague ...... Oh, mom, there's nothing to do, I'm hanging! Zhao Yali hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's okay, it seems that there is a rat plague there, it should be fine?" Zhao Yali said.

"Is it just a mouse?" Luo Yuan thought to himself, but there was an ominous premonition in his heart.

Because he knows that the F+ mission is definitely not so easy to complete.

The two came to the train station, but when they checked, the horse chopping knife could not pass the security check, such as how Luo Yuan explained that this was a handicraft, it was useless, he only needed to handle the emergency consignment, until it was confirmed that it would arrive at the same time, Luo Yuan was relieved.

If there was no horse chopper, Luo Yuan would not have the confidence to complete the F+ mission at all.

The train station was so crowded that it almost made people think that the Spring Festival had arrived, and most of these people had heavy faces, with an indissoluble melancholy on their faces, and worries about the future.

The two didn't find a seat, so they stood in the aisle!

Luo Yuan found that the train delay was very serious, in just half an hour, there were four or five trains, all of which were invariably delayed, and when it was almost close to half past one, the bullet train to Yushui also showed that it was delayed, as if something had happened on the way.

"Why is this bullet train, it also shows that it is late, it's too inaccurate!" Zhao Yali complained

"Take your time, as long as you can get there." Luo Yuan comforted, but his heart gradually sank.

Fortunately, there were no accidents this time, and after half an hour, the bullet train finally made a pit stop.

After Luo Yuan finished cutting the ticket, he and Zhao Yali walked into the platform, and everyone was suddenly in an uproar, and some people even fell sharp. I saw that the whole bullet train was covered with blood stains everywhere, a mess, and some places were stained with some feathers.

Luo Yuan bent down and picked up a feather that was half a foot long and gray in color but with a hint of metallic luster, and performed an identification technique.

"Sparrow's Feathers"

"Usage: Material"

"Rarity: White."

"Weight: 10 grams."

"Comment: It's a mutant sparrow's feather."

Mutant sparrows?

Could it be that this bullet train has been attacked by sparrows?

He looked at the feathers, which were half a foot long, and roughly estimated that the sparrow should have approached a foot.

If even the birds mutate, it will be a bit worse, and the route will become very unsafe, or even shut down completely. To make matters worse, birds are much more difficult to defend against than wild beasts, and their predatory distances are too great, not to mention some particularly large birds.

Even if the trees are cut down and the mountains and forests are burned, they will not be able to stop the arrival of these mutated creatures. The thought of the giant bird that would cover the sky and the sun could not help but shiver at the thought that the giant bird that would cover the sky and the sun would appear in the sky above the city.

Let's hope that doesn't happen in Donghu City. Luo Yuan comforted himself, but even the most optimistic estimate is hopeless, with the burning of mountains and forests across the country, some mutated fierce birds that have no food to eat are afraid that they will target humans.

"How could such a thing happen?" Zhao Yali said in panic, grabbing Luo Yuan's hand tightly, her body trembling slightly.

Luo Yuan was silent, but he really didn't know how to comfort him.

"Let's go, let's get in the car." Luo Yuan said: "Otherwise, you will drive away." ”
