It has been nearly four months since Higashino Hirosawa crossed over.

But whether before or after traveling, he still knew too little about some conditions in Japan.

After browsing around on the Internet, Higashino Hirosawa realized that Japan, shrouded in the sky, would face two very important problems.

One is food and the other is oil.

Japan in this world needs to import nearly 50% of its food.

And oil, it's about 90%.

Many people were still immersed in yesterday's turmoil and were attracted by the canopy in the sky and the Holy Mother of Truth, so they did not notice this aspect for a while.

If he hadn't seen it online, Higashino Hirosawa wouldn't have been able to react for a while.

Needless to say, food, you cannot live without it, and oil is needed for many daily products.

After discovering this problem, Higashino Hirosawa immediately called the Asakusa family to go shopping at a nearby supermarket.

In fact, some people had already reacted. When Higashino Hirosawa and others rushed over, they saw people buying in a big way.

It is estimated that these people who reacted are planning to secretly purchase large quantities of supplies.

Higashino Hirosawa and the others first purchased a large amount of supplies. In order to transport these supplies back, Higashino Hirosawa found an unoccupied vehicle on the roadside nearby.

There was a big hole in the car's window, and it was obvious that the driver had been captured by tentacles.

After transporting the things back, when Higashino Hirosawa came over again, the news may have begun to spread on a large scale. The number of people in the supermarket increased sharply, and the items in the supermarket were decreasing rapidly.

However, in addition to supermarkets, there are still things you can buy in some convenience stores and individual stores, but the prices have increased significantly.

Higashino Hirosawa didn't even look at the price. He plundered a cart full of everything he could buy before transporting it back again.

After returning, Higashino Hirosawa did not come out again.

Because at this time, panic has spread throughout Japanese society.

At this time, the government reacted and held a new press conference, notifying that it would control the sale of a series of items such as food and petroleum. At the same time, it told the people that there was no need to panic because the control was temporary, and the government would significantly increase the amount of food in the future.

Plant, and starting from the next season, food can be freely bought and sold again.

"Higashiya, is what this person said true? Can the food supply really be restored?"

Asakusa Yayoi asked a little worriedly.

They have purchased a lot of supplies, and the supply will not be a problem in the future. However, if the food supply cannot be restored, sooner or later they will go hungry and can only eat the portion provided by the government every day.

"If nothing else happens, it will be no problem."

Higashino Hirosawa nodded.

Although the self-sufficiency rate is only 50%, Japan does not only grow this amount of food.

In Japan, there is an organization called the Agricultural Association. This organization deliberately controls the output of agricultural products in order to maintain and protect the interests of farmers and the association, so that agricultural products can be sold at high prices.

If you let your hands go and plant, ensuring the supply of food will not be a problem in a modern industrial society.

Moreover, the phenomenon of food waste in society was very serious in the past. Now after the food shortage, if no one dares to waste food, the food consumed will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, if no major problems occur, the food supply will be restored soon.

On the contrary, the problem of oil is very serious.

Because it lacks oil resources, even if it is fully exploited, it will be difficult to increase production much.

However, at the press conference just now, the government has decided to close all gas stations and will no longer refuel private vehicles in the future. All oil will be used as a priority to ensure the operation of society.

At the same time, because the government still has a large amount of oil reserves, the shortage of oil will not cause major problems for at least the next year.

In this way, a few days passed by.

Society has entered a new order, and many supermarkets have been taken over by the government.

When citizens purchase food and ingredients, they need to purchase them according to their family’s real-name rations, and they can only purchase up to one week’s worth at a time.

In terms of transportation, it basically becomes buses, trams, and bicycles.

It is difficult to see the shadow of cars on the road.

After all, if you can’t refuel, you’ll need to use less gasoline.

At the same time, electricity is also restricted. Household electricity consumption has begun to be rationed. After the rationed electricity is exceeded, the electricity bill will skyrocket in a step-by-step manner for every additional kilowatt hour used.

Another week passed like this, and when everyone felt that life was beginning to become quite inconvenient, the leader of the Holy Mother of Truth Church, Shendai Yongsheng, once again gave a televised speech.

There are only two contents in the speech.

First, the Holy Mother of Truth has a large reserve of food. As long as you join the Holy Mother of Truth, you can use your faith to exchange for food.

Second, through divine reconnaissance at Our Lady of Truth, we found three new oil fields, two onshore oil fields and one offshore oil field.

The Church of Our Lady of Truth will jointly exploit these three oil fields with the government to ensure social oil supply.

Although everything currently happening is caused by Our Lady of Truth, the reputation of Our Lady of Truth has increased significantly after this televised speech.

The reason is also very simple. Those who dare to complain against the Holy Mother of Truth and take action have already been dealt with by the members of the Holy Mother of Truth using judgment.

The number of people joining the Holy Mother of Truth Cult has also skyrocketed because of this.

During these days, Higashino Hirosawa also took some time to go to the beach near Tokyo Bay.

He came to the edge of the canopy, and the canopy went straight to the bottom of the sea, cutting off the inside and outside.

Not only that, when Higashino Hirosawa looked outside the sky, he was unable to locate the space outside the sky.

In other words, this canopy is not a simple ordinary barrier, but a barrier with spatial attributes.

He wanted to use his space transfer ability to move outside the sky, but he couldn't.

However, this does not mean that Higashino Hirosawa has been completely cut off.

These days, Higashino Hirosawa has been in contact with Yako Koshishima one after another. During the conversation, he and Yako Koshishima talked about the topics of those ancient families. As a result, Yako Koshishima accidentally revealed information about the strange forbidden area to him.

The strange forbidden area can completely isolate the sky from detection.

Not only that, the rules of the canopy are not applicable in the weird forbidden areas.

In other words, Higashino Hirosawa can still find weird forbidden places as a retreat.

In addition to those ancient big families, the weirdo who is about to die as mentioned by Yue Dao Yazi also has a forbidden area.

Before the sky fell, Higashino Hirosawa had not yet decided whether to go to that strange place.

But now, it has become necessary to go on an adventure.

The source of his wish points has been basically cut off. If he goes on an adventure and finds the super power fruit, he will be able to complete an S-level commission and also gain access to a strange forbidden area as a way out.

And with his current ability, he can handle it even if there is danger.

…

After the televised speech of the Eternal God, society further stabilized.

However, due to various rationing restrictions, the number of unemployed people has increased significantly. Instead, joining the Church of Our Lady of Truth has become more like an emerging "career".

As long as you pray every day, you can eat and drink without worrying, which is quite easy.

Under such circumstances, the number of people joining the Holy Mother of Truth Church naturally began to increase dramatically.

People who want to join form a long queue in front of the church every day.

Higashino Hirosawa was not surprised that the Holy Mother of Truth Church had a large amount of food.

After all, the incident was caused by them, and they could completely reserve in advance. If they could control the canopy, they could also directly let the grain transport ship come in from outside the canopy.

After the new social order, many jobs and industries have disappeared. Some were directly banned by the government, and some were unable to continue due to rationing.

But there are two industries, one is the publishing industry, and the other is the entertainment industry.

Not only are these two industries not subject to restrictions, their development is also strongly encouraged by the government.

As for why, Higashino Hirosawa naturally thought that it was related to people's mental power.

If the entire society loses spiritual food, then people's spiritual world will become lifeless.

Our Lady of Truth needs the spiritual world of believers to maintain sufficient health and vitality.

For this reason, the government has even increased the rationing of electricity, and the restrictions on electricity are no longer as strict as before.

Higashino Hirosawa originally thought that the comics he serialized might have to stop being serialized, but that was not the case in reality.

In the past week, the sales of major comic weekly magazines have actually increased significantly.

At the same time, major schools that were suspended due to the Advent incident began to reopen under the supervision of the government.

Sakura City High School and Utsuki Elementary School also sent notices asking students to go to school.

In general, society, which has been disrupted, is gradually returning to normal.

Two weeks after the incident, Hua'er Kindergarten also reopened, and Higashino Hirosawa also sent Chiwa-chan there.

During this period, Nishio Mahyu came to see Chiwa-chan once, and after confirming that Chiwa-chan was okay, he left in a hurry.

After being able to send little Chikazuya back to kindergarten, only Higashino Hirosawa and Asakusa's mother were left at home during the day.
