"Dear viewers, good evening. You are now watching the CCTV News Broadcast.
President Xi Jinping visited the Nanjing Military Region and made an important speech. He hoped that the people would not panic, overcome all difficulties, maintain social stability, and believe in the government and the people's army to solve all difficulties.
The Prime Minister of the United States met with American Vice President Thomson at the Ziguang Pavilion in Zhongnanhai. He said that strengthening the military, technology, and trade cooperation between China and the United States was in the interest of the people of both countries. Thomson said that the relationship between China and the United States was crucial to the development of the entire world. The United States was willing to work with China in various fields to overcome difficulties.
The Yunnan Military Region conducted a live-fire exercise in the mountains to test the power of the heavy-duty rocket.
The aurora phenomenon in the northeast attracted a large number of people to watch.
Luo Yuan carefully watched the news and analyzed the recent domestic and international situation. The residents upstairs began to quarrel again.
"Eat! Eat! Eat! You only know how to eat. If you can't buy food tomorrow, we will starve to death! "The female owner screamed.
"What do you want me to do? The supermarket, the farmer's market, and even the grain and oil wholesale market are all sold out. How can I still buy food? I'll go and see tomorrow." The male owner sighed. He was obviously suppressed.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! How long do you want to wait? We will run out of food in a few days. I told you to buy it earlier, but you didn't listen! You said that you can't ask for leave from the company. What happened to the company? Didn't it collapse? "The female owner's voice was so penetrating that a layer of concrete could not block it.
"Why don't you buy it? Aren't you always at home? "The male owner raised his voice.
"Do you think I don't want to? Who's going to take care of the child? Do you want me to take the child outside and fight with people? What if it gets damaged? It's a mess out there. There are robberies and murders everywhere. You heartless thing, are you still a man? "
Bang! Bang!
The sound of dishes smashing and children crying could be heard. It was a mess.
"Alright! Alright! Don't smash it. I'll get some from my friend tomorrow. Maybe it'll be fine after a while. The country has so much food reserves. They won't let us starve to death, right? "The imposing manner that the male owner had just raised was quickly beaten down to the clouds. He quickly lowered his body and said.
"You, you really piss me off!" The hostess suddenly burst into tears. "Why did I find someone like you? The family is about to run out of food, and you're not anxious at all. How are you going to live in the future? "
"Alright! Good! Good! I'll go to the black market tomorrow to buy it. No matter how high the price is, I'll buy it. Don't quarrel, others will laugh at you. "
The quarrel gradually died down.
In just half a month's time, both the news and the internet had changed drastically. Society was in a state of panic. No matter how the government tried to persuade people to calm down, this kind of panic quickly spread like a plague as more and more animals and plants mutated.
Food and other supplies were quickly snatched up, and the entire supermarket was empty. No matter how much was brought in, it was all snatched up by the crazy people. What followed was a sharp rise in prices, social chaos, robberies, murders, and rapes in the city.
Because Luo Yuan was prepared, he was not affected by the storm.
"Xiao Yuan, it's time to eat." Zhao Yali came out from the kitchen and greeted.
Luo Yuan turned off the TV and sat at the dining table.
Zhao Yali had come back 10 days ago. She had not been sad for long, but the panic had spread all over the world.
The dishes were simple: a plate of salted vegetables, two poached eggs, and a bowl of seaweed soup.
Although there were still a lot of supplies in the storage room, and the fridge was filled with a large amount of preserved meat and vegetables, no one knew how long this panic would last. At this time, if they could save a little, they would have a higher chance of survival.
Zhao Yali looked a little nervous as she took small bites of the food. After a while, she said, "I went to the farmer's market again today, but I still couldn't buy anything!"
"Don't go out for a while. It'll get better after a while. The city government won't just ignore it. They might take some coercive measures." Luo Yuan thought about it and said.
"How's your company now?"
"I don't know. Everyone is in a state of panic, and no one can focus on their work. Maybe it won't last long." Zhao Yali looked down and said, "I'm going back home. I'm worried about my parents."
Luo Yuan was not surprised. She had been calling home a lot recently, and she looked worried. Apparently, she wanted to leave. He asked, "When?"
"The day after tomorrow. My hometown is in the countryside, and I heard that it's become very dangerous. I'll be worried if I don't go and check it out." Zhao Yali forced a smile.
"Optional mission, F + mission: Escort Zhao Yali home. Mission failed if Zhao Yali dies. No time limit. (Cancel accepted) "
F + mission! Another F + mission!
Luo Yuan's hand that was holding the chopsticks froze.
"What's wrong? You don't look well. "Zhao Yali asked with concern.
"Nothing." Luo Yuan took a deep breath and tried to cover it up. "When did you say you're going back?"
"The day after tomorrow. I've booked a train ticket for the day after tomorrow." Zhao Yali repeated herself. She felt better when she thought about going home soon. She smiled and said, "I'll leave everything here with you. Keep in touch!"
He looked at Zhao Yali, who rarely smiled recently. He had mixed feelings. If she did not accept the mission, she would probably die because of the F + difficulty.
Was he really going to watch her throw her life away?
After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Since you're so generous, I'll see you off."
"Sure. I still have a lot of bags to carry. Don't complain when the time comes." Zhao Yali thought Luo Yuan only wanted to send her to the station, so she did not reject him. She was going home for good this time, and would never return to Donghu City again. Even though she had thrown away a lot of things, there were still three big and small boxes. She was considering whether she should check them in.
"You misunderstood. I'm sending you home. It's very dangerous in the countryside now. How can you go back alone?" Luo Yuan said seriously.
"Ah! It's really okay. It's not that far. It's only an hour's train ride. It should be fine. "Zhao Yali was stunned for a moment, her eyes sparkling. She was touched.
"Don't say anymore. I'm worried about you going alone. I'll book the tickets online now. What time? Which train is it? I hope we can still make it, "Luo Yuan said firmly, shaking his head.
"Yushui City, 1: 30 pm," Zhao Yali said, seeing that Luo Yuan was determined to go.
She was not a person with a mind of her own, and there were all kinds of rumors on the internet nowadays. It was really scary to be alone. She was touched, but she also had a headache. What should she say when she met her parents? Her fiancé had just died, and everyone in the village knew that. If they met Luo Yuan, they would gossip.
Suddenly, he thought of something and turned around. "Sister Yali, do we have to leave the day after tomorrow? How about tomorrow?"
"Actually, you don't have to see me off. It's too much trouble. I want to leave tomorrow, but I can't get a ticket. Many workers have gone home now, so it's hard to get a ticket, "Zhao Yali said.
It seemed like the loophole in the system was not easy to exploit. He could only rely on his own ability. He waved his hand and said, "I've already resigned. I'm free every day. I was just asking."
He walked to his bedroom, turned on his computer, and logged into the railway service center. Fortunately, there were still tickets available, so he quickly booked one.
After dinner, Luo Yuan went back to his bedroom and sat quietly for a while.
Then, he took out a long wooden box from under the bed and opened the lid. Inside was a sheathed Zhanmadao. The sheath was made of hardwood and was engraved with cloud patterns!
Luo Yuan held the long handle and slowly pulled it out of the scabbard.
The body of the saber was straight and the blade was very thin. The tip of the saber was slightly raised. At this moment, the saber had already been sharpened. It looked cold and extremely sharp. Not to mention cutting through hair, it could even cut through ordinary metals.
"Zhanmadao."
"Material: 165cm alloy."
"Rarity: Light Blue."
"Weight: 4. One kilogram. "
"Attack Power: 16-20"
"Additional effect: Attack speed + 1
"Requirement: Strength 11"
"Evaluation: This is a modern Zhanmadao. It has the sharpness to cut through gold and jade."
The Zhanmadao had a long history and appeared in the Han Dynasty. Like the famous Mo Dao, it could slay both horses and people. It was the ultimate weapon on the battlefield. It was a heavy saber that was most suitable for cavalry charging and attacking enemies from a high position.
Of course, this modern Zhanmadao was very different from the ancient ones. First of all, the handle was much shorter, so it could be held with one or two hands. It was very flexible. Secondly, the body of the saber was much shorter. It was only 1.4 meters long, so it was not easy to break.
After a period of high-intensity training, although his Strength had not reached 11 points, it was very close. He could use it normally, but it would consume a lot of his energy.
He chopped a few times, and the sharp blade cut through the air, making a sizzling sound.
Because the center of gravity of the saber was relatively forward, it was very easy to chop, and it seemed like it was getting faster and faster. If one did not have the foundation, they would not be able to control such a long saber.
But for Luo Yuan, it was not a problem.
The saber light around him was biting cold. Vertical slashes, horizontal slashes, horizontal slashes, and straight thrusts. Although the moves were simple, they were the most practical moves on the battlefield. He moved his body with the saber and practiced in a small area in the bedroom for about half an hour before he stopped.
He took out a piece of leather, wiped the non-existent dust on it, put it back into the scabbard, and put it back in the wooden box.
"Although the F + mission is dangerous, my Strength has improved a lot compared to the last time. Not only did I increase my Agility by one point, but I also have five skill points that I haven't allocated yet. If I use all of them on my Zhanmadao, I might be able to complete the mission."
