Chapter 4 Prepare in advance
Lin Li opened the mahogany box in his hand and took out a jade bracelet with a round and jade jade from it. This is the heirloom of the Lin family, which is said to have been passed down from the grandmother's family for nearly a hundred years.
The fineness of the jade bracelet is very good, and the jadeite is also of the highest quality. Lin Li's parents had an accident. Many relatives have had the idea of this jade bracelet.
There are also bad ones, bullying Lin Li's youth, using coaxing, and even stealing, trying every possible way to get this jade bracelet.
Lin Li was also extremely alert, knowing that this jade bracelet was worth a lot of money, and it was a relic handed down from his ancestors. I have been carefully storing it, even when life is the most difficult, and I am reluctant to sell it.
But not anymore. The end times are coming, and if you want to make a difference in the last days, you must be fully prepared. This requires a lot of money, and the jade bracelet can only be sold.
Of course, he can actually borrow money from Yan Xiaoqing. With the relationship between the two and the wealth of the Yan family, not to mention 100,000, it is 200,000, and Yan Xiaoqing will also lend it to herself.
But Lin Li didn't plan to do that, good man, rely on yourself! Three years of eschatological life has long made him accustomed to solving all problems by himself.
Besides, it takes time to send money, and it is urgent to use it yourself!
"I hope this thing can be sold for a good price! That way, I can prepare a little more before the end times! Lin Li muttered, closed the mahogany box in his hand, quickly walked out of the rental house, and left the community.
In the end, Lin Li stopped in front of the largest pawn shop in Anseong, swallowed his saliva, glanced at the mahogany box in his hand with nostalgia, gritted his teeth, and strode in.
The reason why he chose a pawnshop is also a consideration, compared with other mortgage methods, pawn is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective.
What's more, if you pawn it, you can get the money on the spot, which saves a lot of trouble. The jade jade bracelet handed down from my grandmother's family is indeed worth a lot of money.
When Lin Li came out, he was already carrying a canvas bag containing 200,000 yuan in cash and a three-month receipt.
Within three months, if Lin Li can return 200,000 yuan, he can redeem the jade jade bracelet, and if he can't repay it, the jade jade bracelet will belong to the pawnshop.
But Lin Li is confident, he doesn't have to wait for three months, three days, as long as three days later, the disaster breaks out, he will definitely take the jade bracelet back again!
Carrying a large bag of cash, Lin Li stopped a taxi on the side of the street and came to the largest and most chaotic old town in Anseong.
The taxi stopped at the entrance to an old street, and the driver said that he didn't dare to drive in. Because it is all the territory controlled by the Black Dragon Gang, where do ordinary people dare to deal with this group of people.
Similarly, this is also the biggest black market in Anseong, and as long as you have money, you can buy anything here. Not long after Lin Li walked into this old street, he heard a clanging sound of iron.
It was an old blacksmith's shop, which looked a little old, and the stall in front of it was full of dark knives, but the door of the shop was closed.
Lin Li did not hesitate, strode over, knocked three times in a row, paused for a few seconds, and then tapped three times in a row with the same rhythm.
The sound of striking iron in the shop suddenly disappeared, and it took more than a minute before an impatient voice came out, "Who, what are you doing?" ”
"I bought the goods, Zhang Xiaoliu introduced me!" Lin Li replied in a deep voice.
Zhang Xiaoliu used to be a classmate of his high school and the original resident of this old street, and he had a good relationship with Lin Li before, so Lin Li knew a lot of inside stories about this old street.
It's a pity that Zhang Xiaoliu went to prison a year ago, and Lin Li doesn't know if this shop still sells those weapons now. I was also a little apprehensive in my heart.
"Xiao Liu introduced? Isn't that dog still crouching in the trumpet? The iron door of the shop finally opened a crack, revealing a middle-aged man with a fleshy face and a scar on his face, looking at Lin Li with an unkind expression.
"What are you going to buy? Lao Tzu's shop has kitchen knives and scissors, all of which are placed on the stall, and the price is clearly marked, what you want, you go and get it yourself, and the money is thrown in the cabinet over there! ”
"A bloody knife, is there one?"
Lin Li continued to ask.
"You want to buy a knife that sees blood?"
The middle-aged man's face changed, his eyes looked at Lin Li even more sharply, and after more than a minute, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and shouted inside: "It's not a hat, everyone continue!" ”
"Come in and talk, the goods are all on the wall, you can choose for yourself!"
The iron door finally opened, and in the shop, the sound of clanging iron sounded again. Several middle-aged men with dark faces, shirtless and holding hammers, were making knives.
The walls of the shop are also full of knives, but they are not kitchen knives or firewood knives, but watermelon knives with open blades. Knives, knives, deboning knives......
Lin Li also found imitation military gold wire daggers, Swiss army knives, and nipo. You. Scimitars, and even on the knife holders on the walls, there were several long, narrow, shimmering samurai. Knife, looking at Lin Li's eyes are greedy.
With three years of experience in surviving in the last days, he could see at a glance that among these knives, the most powerful ones were probably those samurai. Knives, I can't figure it out, it's still the best quality of the original imports.
But Fang Yuan also knew that such a weapon was not something he could use now, it required extremely strong strength and endurance, and now he was just an ordinary person.
"Life intensity 0.6, low physique, low stamina, medium speed, low strength, less than 7% brain domain development, closed gene chain. Comprehensive evaluation, the combat effectiveness is low, and the strength is so low that it is negligible! ”
Lin Li habitually evaluated his body according to the law of weakness analysis, although he had not yet awakened the ability.
But the three-year survival experience in the last days still allowed him to quickly figure out the condition of his body.
Before the end of the world began, the life intensity of most ordinary people was between 0.5 and 0.6, athletes could reach 0.7, and some special forces or martial artists could reach 0.8, which was the limit.
And to play the samurai. The power of the cold weapon of the knife, Lin Li estimated that his life strength must reach at least 0.7, that is, the physical fitness of the athlete.
Now he is not suitable for using knives that require high strength and physical strength, but some short swords, daggers and other stabbing weapons, which help him more.
Between two points, the straight line is the shortest, and the assassination action is also the simplest, most labor-saving, and also the fastest. Lin Li thought about it for a while, and then walked to the wall and took down three things.
An elongated military gold wire dagger. A Swiss army knife, a military hand axe.
"Boss, that's all there is to it! How much? ”
Lin Li asked.
"10,000 yuan for each kind, no credit!"
The middle-aged man said coldly, and at the same time, a pair of eyes stared at the canvas bag that Lin Li was holding in his hand with some ill will.
Several people who struck iron also stopped tapping the iron at this time, but just held the big hammer in their hands tightly, and their eyes looked over this way, intentionally or unintentionally.
They all found a surprise thing, that is, this young man, opened the canvas bag, filled with a thick stack of red tickets, looking at the number of hundreds of thousands!
Some people's eyes suddenly showed greedy expressions. The middle-aged man didn't accept the ticket handed over by Lin Li, just stared at the open canvas bag, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are very rich?" ”
"It's a little bit, what, do you want it?" Lin Li smiled coldly, in the last days, this kind of look, he didn't know how many he had seen, where he didn't understand the meaning of these people's eyes.
A fierce murderous aura unconsciously poured out of his body, and his eyes became cold, staring coldly at the middle-aged man led by him.
The smile on the middle-aged man's face suddenly stiffened.
The people on the road are very sensitive to murderous aura, and they feel the thick murderous aura on Lin Li's body, not only middle-aged people, but also a few people behind, and a piece of sweat also breaks out on their foreheads. Know that you have met someone you can't mess with.
The young man in front of him must have killed people, seen blood, and killed more than one.
The middle-aged man immediately put away the greed in his eyes, and didn't dare to look at the canvas pocket in Lin Li's hand again, but bowed slightly with a respectful face.
"This big brother is laughing, they are all people who are mixed up on the road, and I hope that the big brother will take care of the business of the small shop in the future!"
Lin Li nodded slightly, "Let's talk about it when we have a chance!" ”
As he spoke, he strode out of the old blacksmith shop with the weapons he had bought. The middle-aged man also watched Lin Li leave respectfully. It wasn't until Lin Li walked away that he reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and sighed.
The moment he looked at Lin Li just now, he actually had the feeling that he had turned around the ghost gate.
"I spent 30,000 yuan to buy weapons, and now I still have 170,000 yuan on me, although the money is a little less, but the money to buy the necessary materials is about the same."
Walking out of the streets of the old city, Lin Li calculated that he had weapons, and the remaining money could be used to store some necessary supplies.
Anyway, the end of the world is coming, and these tickets are basically equivalent to waste paper, and if you don't use them quickly, you won't have a chance in the future. He didn't even bother to go back to the rental house.
If the memory is not wrong, the end of the world is coming, and although the whole world is in a state of panic and disaster, many cities still hold on until the last moment before they have no choice but to evacuate.
Lin Li still remembers that in the previous life, when the whole city was in chaos and zombies were rampant, only Xicheng District had a large number of government agencies, official residences, and wealthy merchants' villas, so the army desperately protected it, and it had been holding out for several months before evacuating.
Again, at the beginning of the end times. It was also when those zombies were at their weakest, and Lin Li also planned to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain enough evolutionary energy to reawaken his abilities, and he would not give up leaving the city.
He is still just an ordinary person, and it is even more dangerous to leave the city alone, and a relatively safe place to stay is necessary.
In this way, Xicheng District, which will be protected by the army in the future, will be the first choice for Linli, and of course, he will not dare to rent his house in those luxurious villa complexes.
Those are places where powerful people live, either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, and after the military takes over, there will definitely be an identity check.
When the time comes, an unidentified person like him will definitely be suspected and even expelled by the army, but fortunately, there are several streets near these villa complexes, and there are many medium-sized communities. Because it is also in Xicheng District, it will also be protected by the army to a certain extent.
"Renting a community like this won't attract attention!"
Lin Li walked around Xicheng District, and finally chose an ordinary community not close to the villa area, called Qingfeng Mingyue.
I casually found a real estate agent near my home, a whole 10,000 yuan bill, and the ticket smashed on the intermediary's face, and the intermediary who was wearing a suit and spoke in an out-of-tune Mandarin voice suddenly burst out with amazing enthusiasm and vitality.
Just three hours, signing, check-in, and you're done! Household appliances are also readily available. By the way, it also comes with broadband access, a high-configuration computer, and extremely thoughtful service.
Lin Li was even more lazy to go back to the dilapidated rental house that was leaking everywhere and had no protection ability, so he simply lived here.
I quickly turned on the computer and logged in to foreign websites proficiently.
At this time, it happened to be four o'clock in the afternoon! In Western countries, it should be late at night or even early in the morning.
At this time of year, the sky is already full of stars. But today, there is only a fiery red sun in the sky, high above, and it never sets.
This also made the people abroad even more frightened, although there were constantly famous experts, scholars, professors and other official people who came out to answer and try to reassure the people.
However, the voice of the people has gradually risen, and the rumors of the end of the world have spread rapidly on the Internet at an astonishing speed, and large-scale demonstrations have broken out in many foreign cities, and in some places, there have been bloody conflicts.
Major video websites have also begun to scroll through the latest situation throughout the day. Lin Li casually clicked on a few foreign video websites and found that they were all panicked scenes.
London, Paris, Zurich, Berlin......
In these famous cities, the streets were full of crowded people, people shouted slogans, held huge signs, portraits, and large fonts with the end of the world written on them, surrounded official institutions, police stations, courts, and even the homes of officials, shouting for the official announcement of the truth of the events.
However, even the officials of various countries have no clue about this disaster, let alone explain it publicly, and can only constantly ask the people to be calm and restrained.
Such an ambiguous approach also fuels people's panic even more. The apocalyptic rhetoric is getting louder and louder, and churches and temples in many places are already overcrowded, and people are full of prayerful people.
In the face of the surging crowds, the police have gradually begun to lose control of the situation, and the officials of various countries have to urgently mobilize large numbers of troops and begin to enter these cities.
When armored vehicles and tanks drove into the city, when teams sang military songs and soldiers with high morale were stationed in, the panic of the people was finally contained to a certain extent.
But Lin Li knew that this was only temporary, as long as the sun did not set for a day, such a panic would only get bigger and bigger until the disaster happened!
Seeing that the situation abroad was basically the same as what he knew in his previous life, Lin Li didn't say a word, and hurriedly jumped up from his chair and grabbed one side full of banknotes. The canvas bag of the ticket rushed out of the door like a fly.
