Dawn of a New Era

In a blink of time, the Spring Festival is gradually approaching.

Early in the morning, Chen Shouyi went out.

Today's temperature is extremely cold. The entrance of the lobby of the residential building is already covered with long icy edges, almost half a meter long.

A cold wind blew, and Chen Shouyi, thinly dressed, couldn't help but give birth to a goosebump.

The sky was gray and full of dense fog, and the air was filled with a sour smell.

The steam age!

Chen Shouyi sighed slightly,

It has been almost two months since the last mutation, and a large number of steam factories have sprung up in Hedong City, and the chimneys are spitting white smoke day and night. Often, when I go out for an hour or two, my clean clothes are completely covered with soot.

The high-rise buildings, which used to be clean and bright and can reflect people's shadows, have now become dark, stained with stains, and the original gloss has completely faded.

Most of these office buildings are already in a semi-abandoned state, people go empty, and there is no property to clean at all.

Going to the gate of the community, Chen Shouyi glanced at the bulletin board that was surrounded by people every day.

The job postings posted above have become more numerous.

In the eye-catching place in the upper left corner, there is an additional call for retired soldiers with the stamp 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 conditions have kept the number of Daxia troops at six or seven million, and the number of retired soldiers is more than ten times the number of standing troops, and the number is close to 100 million.

With a population of 1.7 billion in the Daxia Kingdom, it means that for every seventeen of them, one is a retired soldier.

At the same time, it is increasing by two to three million each year.

With a population of tens of millions in Hedong City, even excluding old soldiers who are too old, it is easy to recruit three or four hundred thousand soldiers.

Chen Shouyi sighed. The recent situation hasn't improved much. Instead, all kinds of crazy news spread in Hedong City, and people's hearts were disturbed.

Some say that the 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.

In the latter case, he does not know what the specific situation is, but in the former case, Hedong City has recently seen many refugees from other places.

...

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

He had been ignoring for almost two months, and his hair was covering half of his ears.

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

No one was there. The barber was a young woman in her thirties. When Chen Shouyi came in, she stood up and asked.

"What hairstyle do I need?"

"Insert your head, leave a half centimeter." Chen Shouyi said sitting on the barber chair.

"Stay so short, this hairstyle is relatively cold in this weather!" Said the young woman, holding her head in her hand.

"It's okay, just take it that way."

"Your hair is so hard!" The young woman complained after a while.

Now there are no electric push heads, they are all manual. As soon as the young woman cuts her hair, she feels wrong, it is too hard, it is just like a wire, just after a few clicks, her hands are sore.

"I know in my heart that I will not lose your money!" Chen Shouyi said.

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

Last month's salary has been paid. Nearly 100,000 cash. In addition to leaving 50,000 in the family, there are 30,000 left, which makes them a lot more comfortable.

"That's what you said. I'm tired of you. I'm more tired than three or four. How does your hair grow so hard?" The young woman said with a smile on her face.

"intrinsic!"

Chen Shouyi and the young woman spoke without a word, the door suddenly opened, and two more people came in. Chen Shouyi glanced at one, a middle-aged fat man in his thirties or forties, and an old man in his fifties or sixties.

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

"It's been a mess recently? Have you heard that the whole mountain of Yunshan has been blocked now? I don't know how many people have died." A middle-aged fat man whispered.

"There is such a thing, but Yunshan is in the urban area, will it spread here?" An old man asked.

"Probably not. After all, it's too far from here, and it takes more than an hour to ride a bicycle." The middle-aged fat man said.

"Well, it's really messy, I don't know what to do in the future!" The old man sighed pessimistically: "You said this alien creature, why do you come to the earth?"

"I'm full and support me. If I had left it before, I would have bombed him, wouldn't those invading wild gods have died?" Said the middle-aged fat man and then whispered: "I don't A barbaric **** who rejects the other world, as long as it is not an evil **** or an evil blood sacrifice, life can be stable, and whoever believes is not! "

"Who said no!"

...

Chen Shouyi heard a little silence. After finishing his hair, he found a hundred from his wallet and passed it: "No need to find it."

The young woman looked happy after taking over. Now the Great Depression in Hedong City, the price of the service industry has fallen sharply. It used to cost at least 20-30 yuan for a haircut. Now five yuan is enough. One hundred yuan is 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 gun in the distance rang again, and the black smoke exploded in the air, but the pedestrians on the road were already accustomed to it, and not many people looked up. Nowadays, the number of violent birds that have fallen to other worlds on the earth is very large. Almost every one or two days, anti-aircraft guns will sound.

...

When he returned home, Chen Shouyi found that Bai Xiaoling was also there.

Looking at Chen Shouli's bald head, Bai Xiaoling forced to smile: "General Chen, are you back?"

Chen Shouyi nodded, and saw a lot of things in the living room, a piece of pork, five or six chickens and ducks, and a variety of fresh dried fruits, wondering: "This is it?"

Although the price of this item in the urban area has dropped a lot, it is estimated that it is not cheap. Some things are not even available in the market.

"This is a New Year's product from Police Officer Bai. It's so cold that she was brought by a little **** a tricycle?" Mother Chen brought a cup of hot tea from the kitchen and said, "Frozen, let's drink a cup of heat tea."

Bai Xiaoling quickly took over: "Thank you Auntie, you're welcome. This is my job, and I will serve Mr. Chen specifically."

"That won't allow you a little girl to do this kind of rough work ~ www.readwn.com ~ next time, say something to Shouyi, he is thick and thick, just let him come." Chen mother said.

Bai Xiaoling covered her mouth and smiled: "This will not work. If the leader blame me, I will lose my job. Auntie, are you looking a lot younger now?"

Mother Chen heard the words and said, "Is it?"

Since she started taking Shenxue, these days, her face has become rosy, her footsteps have become more powerful, and even the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes have faded a lot. The whole person looks younger by five or six years.

...

Mother Chen and Bai Xiaoling continued to talk a few words, and then gave up 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 the seal of the military district and the city government.

"Villa 24!" Chen Shouyi said, wondering: "Is the safety zone already constructed over there?"

"It is already a rough house. The reason why we have to wait for this time is 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.

Today's giant cities are no longer adaptable to the changed environment. On the one hand, the cost of various logistics is high, which has a serious impact on both industry and life.

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

The safe zone is for war that may be coming.

"When can I move?"

"At noon seven days later, there will be a steam truck coming by, and the furniture will not need to be taken away. There is already a new one."

ps: Sorry, I deleted a lot of words, it was a bit late.
