Chapter 146: The Decline of Civilization

Chen Shouyi walked out of the old-fashioned tube building with a bow bag and a sword box.

Fine snowflakes fell down one after another, and it was already snowing outside. Chen Shouyi restrained the urge to use his talent and allowed the snowflakes to fall on his body. In just a few short steps, a layer of white snow was already stained on his shoulders.

What a bad weather.

The weather has been getting colder these days.

He let out a long breath of white air, hung the bow bag and sword box on the handlebar, opened the lock, rode the bicycle, and rushed back.

It is located in the suburbs, thirty or forty kilometers away from his home. If it is not faster, it will be dark when it arrives.

You can see relief stations opened by the municipal government from time to time on the road.

Not only were there people inside, but there were long queues at the door. Some were holding umbrellas, and some simply let the heavy snow fall. In this cold weather, everyone was wrapped in a coat or down jacket, and still shivered by the cold and their faces were blue.

Banks are still unable to withdraw money, and most companies have completely closed down, with no source of income, and many people don’t have much cash in their hands, so they are basically moonlight clans.

If there is no relief, the entire Hedong City will probably become chaotic in an instant.

Chen Shouyi's face was silent, and he quickly rode his bicycle and ran all the way.

...

Three steam trucks wrapped in tarpaulin came towards us.

Like the old-fashioned train-shaped front, white smoke was sucking and spitting, and the six pairs of connecting rods connecting each other kept turning, making huge noises. Chen Shouyi stared at these giants in a daze, and did not come back to his senses until he drove past him.

When I returned to the community, it was already five o'clock and it was just dark.

The snow on the ground has accumulated more than half a foot thick.

Chen Shouyi rode into the parking lot and glanced at the rows of thick gray cars inside. He drove to the corner to lock the cars, dusted off the snow on his shoulders and hair, and steamed all over his body.

...

At night, the flames as big as candles on the computer desk were shining with a faint red light.

Chen Shouyi pulled out the strange alloy sword, inserted the maintenance oil on the surface of the sword, and looked at it carefully.

The blade was shining with fine patterns like fish scales in the dim light. The blade was without any flaws, as if it had never been used before, and was full of cold light.

His fingers gently rubbed the blade.

"hiss!"

My hand suddenly hurt slightly. I picked up my index finger and saw a hole in it. Blood slowly overflowed.

What a sharp sword.

A hint of surprise flashed in his heart. You must know that with his physique, even the nano-hardened membrane sword needs to use some force to cut the skin. However, this sword was only slightly wiped, but it hurt him.

Suddenly he stood up, swung his sword toward the corner of the table, and the blade cut through the composite board of the computer desk without making much noise. It was extremely smooth. With one stroke, he almost felt much resistance and the corner of the table fell off.

"No wonder, I heard from Cao Zhenhua's wife that the other party liked this sword the most during his lifetime. It was definitely not an ordinary metal." Chen Shouyi felt thoughtful.

He threw a few sword flowers and felt more satisfied. The sword above ten kilograms seemed too heavy for the warrior, but for him, it seemed quite handy and did not affect the speed of the sword.

I will use this sword in the future.

He inserted the sword into the scabbard, looked at the cut fingers and found that they had already healed completely.

...

"Big gems, one by one!"

"Big gems, one by one...one by one!"

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. She counted herself with a blushing face. With a big crystal ball comforting her, she no longer insisted on watching cartoons in a short time.

"Little gems, one by one...one by one!" There were a lot of small glass beads. She counted for more than two minutes in a row, but almost couldn't come up in one breath.

Chen Shouyi almost laughed and corrected: "One, two, three, four, you have to count like this!"

Upon hearing this, the shell girl raised her head and looked up at Chen Shouyi, with a little contemptuous look: "You stupid giant, you can't count it like this!"

Chen Shouyi suffocated his chest.

You are so idiotic about math level, you even look down on me.

"Why can't it be, one, two, three, four, six, seven, you know?"

"Know!"

"You count!"

The shell girl hummed disdainfully, as if in order to prove how stupid the giant is from her IQ, she pretended to count.

"One, two, three, four..." She stopped and picked up the fourth small glass bead: "Look, this is just one, why do you have to say it is four?"

...

In a blink of an eye, a few more days have passed and the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer.

However, in Hedong today, there is no feeling of the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival approaching, but only the increasingly depressing atmosphere.

A young clerk from a neighborhood committee posted a recruitment notice at the entrance of the community, and the outside was quickly surrounded by people.

Chen Shouyi walked downstairs and took a curious look.

The people who hire are basically ordinary workers in machinery factories. Of course, there are also some positions with higher salaries, such as mechanics, mechanical engineers, and mechanical designers, but these require certain professional skills and knowledge, and for the vast majority of people in the community, they can only be discouraged.

He looked up and then realized that before he knew it, there were a few chimneys nearby that were spitting white smoke.

Chen Shouyi has never been a cold-hearted person, but at this moment, he felt heavy for no reason.

He clearly felt that the splendid material civilization of mankind was declining rapidly. Perhaps this was about to enter another brilliant turning point, or perhaps it was permanent sinking.

...

In the afternoon, someone in the community began to promote the belief of the barbarian gods. He held an iron trumpet and loudly claimed that believing in gods is the only way out for mankind and the beginning of human glory. If mankind insists on resisting gods, mankind will surely perish and the whole world will fall into hell, and he vowed to see the gods with his own eyes.

It immediately attracted a lot of people to watch.

But a few hours later, a policeman came to the door and captured the madman.

When he was caught, he shouted wildly all the way.

To claim that he has been named the spokesperson of the gods, arresting him is a blasphemy against the gods.

...

"If worshiping God can really ensure safety, it's not impossible." Chen's mother, who walked downstairs and joined in the fun, said worriedly after she came back.

Chinese people have always been pragmatic and utilitarian about their faith. For most people, as long as there is a benefit, that god is not worshipped.

"You can only say this in private, but you can't say it outside." Chen Dawei advised.

"I'm not a fool, I'm just talking casually!" Chen's mother glared at him.

At this time, the anti-aircraft guns outside sounded again. Chen Shouyi walked to the balcony. A few small dots in the sky were constantly hovering. In the past ten days, the invasion of creatures in another world has become more and more serious.

"Stop watching, eat!" said Chen's mother.
