Time is approaching the Spring Festival in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Chen Shouyi walked out the door.

The temperature today is particularly cold. The door of the residential building hall is covered with long ridges of ice like sharp spears, and the length is nearly half a meter.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Chen Shouyi, who was dressed in thin clothes, couldn't help but get goose bumps.

The sky was gray and filled with thick mist, and the air was filled with a sour and pungent smell.

The steam age!

Chen Shouyi sighed slightly,

It has been almost two months since the last change. A large number of steam factories have emerged in Hedong City like bamboo shoots after a rain. The chimneys are spewing white smoke day and night. Often, when you go out for an hour or two, your clean clothes are completely covered with coal ash.

The tall buildings that used to be clean and shiny could illuminate human figures have now become black and stained, completely fading away their original luster.

Most of these office buildings are already in a semi-abandoned state, with empty buildings and no property is available for cleaning.

When he walked to the entrance of the community, Chen Shouyi glanced at the notice board that was surrounded by people every day.

The recruitment notices posted above have become more.

In the conspicuous place in the upper left corner, there is also an additional recruitment notice for retired soldiers with the seal of the street office:

As of March 1, all retired soldiers under the age of 45 must report to the Hedong Military Region.

Twenty years of quasi-wartime state have kept the number of troops of the Great Xia Kingdom at six or seven million, and the number of retired soldiers is more than ten times the number of troops, with nearly 100 million.

With the population of 1.7 billion in the Daxia Kingdom, one in every 17 people is a retired soldier.

At the same time, it also increases by two to three million per year.

With a population of tens of millions of people in Hedong City, even if the elderly retired soldiers are excluded, they can easily recruit 300,000 or 400,000 soldiers.

Chen Shouyi sighed. The situation has not improved much recently. Instead, various crazy news spread in Hedong City, and people were in panic.

Some say that gods have begun to invade, some places have fallen, and some say that the north is extremely cold and a large number of people have been frozen to death.

The latter, he didn't know the specific situation, but the former, Hedong City has recently added many refugees from other places.

...

Chen Shouyi walked out of the community and turned into a barber shop.

He had been neglecting for almost two months, and his hair had almost covered half of his ears.

Because it was still early, Chen Shouyi went in, except for the barber.

There was no one left. The barber was a young woman in her thirties. When she saw Chen Shouyi coming in, she immediately stood up and asked.

"What hairstyle should I do?"

"Let's cut, leave half a centimeter." Chen Shouyi said while sitting on the barber chair.

"It's so short. This hairstyle is quite cold in the weather!" The young woman picked up the pushing head in her hand and said after hearing this.

"It's okay, just do it as it should."

"Your hair is so hard!" After a while, the young woman complained.

Now there is no electric push head, it is all manual. As soon as the young woman got her hair, she felt something was wrong. It was too hard, just like a steel wire. After just a few strokes, her hands were so sore.

"I know it in my mind that you won't lose money at that time!" Chen Shouyi said.

His physique is more than 7.5 times that of ordinary people. This physique not only represents physical strength, but also represents the strength and toughness of various tissues in the body, the acuity of the five senses, and all other aspects of the body.

The salary last month has been paid, with nearly 100,000 yuan in cash. In addition to leaving 50,000 yuan for the family, there are still 30,000 yuan left, and the hands have become much more abundant.

"This is what you said. I'm tired of paying attention to you, but I'm more tired than paying three or four. How do you have such a long hair? Why are you so hard!" The young woman said happily and hurriedly.

“Born!”

Chen Shouyi and the young woman said nothing, and the door suddenly opened and the two of them came in again. Chen Shouyi glanced at him, one was a middle-aged fat man in his thirties and forties, and the other was an old man in his fifties and sixties.

As soon as they sat down, the two started chatting.

"It's really messy recently? Have you heard that the entire mountain in Yunshan is now blocked, and I don't know how many people have died." A middle-aged fat man whispered.

"If there is such a thing, Yunshan is in the city. Will it affect it?" an old man asked.

"It probably won't be. After all, it's too far away from here, and it takes more than an hour to ride a bicycle." said the middle-aged fat man.

"Oh, it's going to be in chaos. I don't know what to do in the future!" The old man sighed with a pessimistic look on his face: "Why do you think this creature in another world come to the earth forever?"

"I'm just eating and suffocating. If I had put it before, I would have been slamming him. A few of the invading barbarian gods died?" said the middle-aged fat man, and then whispered: "Actually, I don't reject the barbarian gods in another world. As long as they are not evil gods and have evil blood sacrifices, their lives can be stable. Who does not believe it?"

"Who said no!"

...

Chen Shouyi was a little silent when he heard this. After finishing his hair, he took out a hundred pieces from his wallet and handed them over: "No need to look for them."

The young woman looked happy after taking it. Now Hedong City is in a great depression and the price of the service industry has dropped sharply. In the past, it took at least twenty or thirty yuan to get a haircut. Now five yuan is enough, and one hundred yuan is already twenty times the price.

Chen Shouyi patted the broken hair on his shoulder, opened the door, and walked out of the barber shop.

The anti-aircraft guns in the distance sounded again, and black smoke exploded in the air. However, pedestrians on the road have become accustomed to it, and not many people are looking up to pay attention. Now there are a large number of ferocious birds that have fallen into the other world on Earth. Almost every one or two days, the anti-aircraft guns will sound.

...

When he returned home, Chen Shouyi found Bai Xiaoling at home.

Looking at Chen Shouyili's bald head, Bai Xiaoling held back her smile: "Mr. Chen, are you back?"

Chen Shouyi nodded and saw a lot of things in the living room, including pork, five or six chickens and ducks, and various dried fruits. He couldn't help but wonder: "Is this?"

Although the prices of this thing have dropped a lot in the city, it is probably not cheap. Some things are not available in the market.

"This is the New Year's goods sent by Officer Bai. It's so cold that she, a little girl, came here on a tricycle?" Chen's mother brought a cup of hot tea from the kitchen and said, "It's frozen, drink a cup of hot tea."

Bai Xiaoling quickly took it and said, "Thank you aunt, you're welcome. This is my job. I'm just serving Mr. Chen."

"Then you can't let a little girl do such rough work. Next time you have something to do, tell Shouyi that he is rough and thick-skinned, just let him come." Chen's mother said.

Bai Xiaoling covered her mouth and smiled: "This is not possible. If the leader above blames me, I will be unemployed. Auntie, you look much younger now?"

When Chen's mother heard this, she said happily: "Is that true?"

Since she started taking divine blood, her face has become rosy these days, and her steps have become stronger. Even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes have faded away, and she looks like she is five or six years younger.

...

Chen's mother and Bai Xiaoling continued to chat for a few words, and then gave the living room to Chen Shouyi.

"This is your house key and related documents." Bai Xiaoling handed Chen Shouyi a document.

After he took it, he found that it was a real estate certificate with seals from the military region and municipal governments.

"Villa No. 24!" Chen Shouyi said, wonderingly: "Has the safety zone been built?"

"It's already an unfinished house. The reason why I have to wait for this time is that I only need to arrange military defense. At that time, Jiangnan University, major research institutions, various key factories, and government agencies will be relocated one after another." Bai Xiaoling explained.

Chen Shouyi nodded heavily in his heart.

Today's giant cities are no longer adapting to the changing environment. On the one hand, various logistics costs are high, which has serious impact on both industry and life.

On the other hand, a scattered layout is not conducive to concentrating forces and defending key strategic units.

And the safe zone is for the possible upcoming war.

“When can I move?”

"At noon seven days later, a steam truck will come by, and the furniture will not need to be taken away, so there will be new places."
