About a thousand meters above Shen City, Lin Xi closed his eyes. A pair of blood red wings appeared on his back. He used his consciousness to control Hagi Hyuk, which was half gas and half liquid, to maintain his body and float in the sky.
Today was a sunny day.
It had been half a month since the last assassination. It was winter now, but it hadn't snowed yet. The sky was clear and cloudless. Due to the destruction of the industry, there was no pollution. The sky was blue, and the sunlight dispelled the chill of the night.
It also brought warmth to the city that was once silent because of hunger, but now it had regained its vitality.
At the center of the city was the City Hall. At the top of the European-style castle, there was a statue of an angel holding a sword with both hands.
Under the sunlight, the angel seemed to be emitting a golden halo.
Looking down from the sky, the green fields in the city were very beautiful. This was the farm that Lin Xi had built using the construction function of the city.
With the distributed food, they wouldn't starve to death. However, if they wanted to live a better life and eat more, they still had to rely on their own hands. The citizens worked on the farm, taking care of the fields and planting the seedlings one by one. Even in winter, as long as it wasn't covered by snow, the special building could still produce crops.
These citizens, through the "Farmer's Shack", had actually become farmers.
In the Heroes of Might and Magic 5 Templar forces, farmers were the lowest class of soldiers.
However, the fighting power of the farmers was too low. They had to be trained as militia in the training center before they could be of use.
The people who worked hard felt satisfied. Although their lives weren't good, it was far from what it was before the apocalypse. However, after three months of miserable life, they felt that it was better to have a job than to have no job.
There was a powerful City Lord, a special city to ensure their safety, and a fixed amount of food delivered every day. If they worked, whether it was on the farm, as a farmer, or as a worker to reinforce the city wall, they would be able to get some extra food. This happy life was actually very Jian Dan.
In the apocalypse, who could ask for more?
On a farm, Shen Guo Hua and his family were busy. A man in his forties, who was originally strong and healthy, had been starved for the past three months. It was a little strenuous for him to do high-intensity labor. He had to stand up from time to time and rest.
Soon, it was lunchtime.
Shen Guohua massaged his waist and took a sip of water from the bottle at his waist. His skinny wife came over and took out a cloth bag. When she opened it, there were rice balls the size of a fist. There were some salted vegetables embedded in the rice grains.
"Time to eat."
Men, wives, sons, and elders all took rice balls.
The old man sitting on the ridge of the field was Shen Guohua's father. He used to be a farmer, but because of his old age and starvation, he could no longer do heavy work, so he helped out on the side. When he saw the green seedlings in the field, his face was full of wrinkles, and he smiled like a flower.
"Sure, sure."
The old man looked at these seedlings and felt as if he had seen the hope of the future.
He couldn't bear to eat until he was full. He ate half of the rice ball and stuffed the rest into his grandson's hand.
"Dad, you eat it yourself. Don't give it to him. We don't lack food now … We have three farmers taking care of this field. The grain output is enough for us to eat after we hand it in."
Shen Guohua swallowed the rice ball in two or three mouthfuls. He clapped his hands and looked into the distance. There were people working in the fields. It was tiring, but it was fulfilling. He couldn't help but sigh. As a white-collar worker before doomsday, he didn't expect to experience this kind of life.
There was a field in the distance. The man working in the field was the former manager of his company.
The former fat man was now a skinny man. The manager who used to be tired of walking was now working hard in the field. It was nothing to be tired, but hunger was unbearable.
At this time, some people were approaching from the distance.
Shen Guohua clenched his fists nervously. His father and wife tried to identify them with their eyes. When they saw a figure in the group, the family was so excited that their bodies were trembling.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Little Brother, I successfully changed my job!"
The woman who walked to the field was wearing a green light armor and a helmet. She carried a bow on her back and a quiver of arrows hung on her waist.
Archer.
Obviously, this girl had become the first batch of archers in Shen City.
"That's great!"
Shabak was strong enough to change his job to a warrior, mage, or priest. But what did that have to do with the civilians? The powerless civilians could only stay at home and get a bowl of porridge every day. They would suffer until they died.
That was how Shen Guohua's mother died.
Farmers weren't considered as real professionals. Infantry and archers were the combat units.
Shen Guohua's daughter grew up in the countryside. She often used a slingshot to shoot birds like a tomboy. When she went to school in Shen City, she liked to practice throwing darts in her spare time. She even won the second place in the city darts competition.
After reporting her specialty to the people in the street office, the higher-ups issued a notice to let his daughter take the test. Now, it was obvious that she had successfully changed her job.
"This is the meat. We have 300 archers in the first batch. Every one of them has meat."
The long-lost happy smile appeared on the face of the family. There was food and meat to eat. They had a safe life and they were looking forward to the future.
This was an ordinary family. It was also the epitome of the civilians in Shen City.
Everything was brought by the mayor.
Saint Hall!
It would become a paradise for ordinary people in the apocalypse. It was a home that people could rely on.
Shen Guohua's heart was filled with pride.
… …
During this period, the city had completely stabilized, and everything was developing in an orderly manner. The Beast Squad led the army of Shen Cheng City and 300 urban management officers to wipe out a satellite town nearby. They killed the Wilma Sect Leader who was entrenched in it and brought back a lot of resources.
Including wood, steel, and gold.
Farms were built in large numbers. After all, food was the most important thing. Training camps, archery towers, barracks, militia huts, blacksmith shops, stables, markets, and even pubs were built one by one.
The most special buildings were the market, the Magic Guild, and the pubs.
The market could be used to exchange resources. For example, steel could be exchanged for silver, or gold could be exchanged for gems or wood. Of course, the exchange rate was ridiculous.
The Magic Guild had magic scrolls. After reading them, it was possible to learn spells.
In the pubs, they could actually recruit heroes of the Invincible Heroes series. Human heroes were equivalent to mercenaries. However, hiring them did not cost points. They only used gold in the real world.
They could only exchange for gold once a week. The hero that appeared was level 1. It was not very useful at the moment.
The contribution system had been established. Labor, killing monsters, inventions, and resources found … all of them would bring a certain amount of contribution. Contribution points could be exchanged for food. They could even be exchanged for a chance to advance to a higher class in the future.
The monetary system was also being rebuilt.
With the death of Elder Song and the others, there was no longer any resistance in the internal affairs of the city. A few job seekers left due to fear. The remaining 60 or so ability users were more confident than before. A thriving city and a dead city had a different atmosphere.
Lin Xi was floating in the sky, replenishing his energy.
The light and heat released by the sun shone on his skin. It turned into a warm current that flowed into his body. The super cells that formed his body converted the heat into bio-energy and stored it. It gave him a sense of satisfaction. It was as if he was constantly eating.
Now, he could finally live a life without food.
Depending on the intensity of the sunlight, it would take about 10 hours on a cloudy day to fully replenish the bio-energy. On a sunny day, it would only take an hour. If it was midsummer, the scorching sunlight would further reduce the time needed to recharge.
In half a month, Lin Xi did not step out of the city. In addition to the internal affairs of Shen City, his strength was also growing steadily.
Master Raccoon, Golden Monkey, Spirit Crane, Spirit Snake, Mantis, and Bear, Crocodile, and Chicken opened a dojo in the city. They taught martial arts to evolved people and people who had advanced class for free.
Through learning and sparring with the masters, Lin Xi had completely mastered the two forces.
The explosive force of Xu Zilong and the spiral force of Sky Sha.
In addition, he had also developed a new set of combat skills.
The characteristic of Qi, other than healing, was to shape. This was something that the killing intent and killing intent didn't have.
In the Four Gods True Fire Eight Trigram Formation, he had gone through a near-death experience. Not only did he refine his body, but he also trained his spirit. His spirit and willpower had undergone a transformation. Now, Lin Xi's spirit was several times stronger than before. This meant that his control of Qi shape had greatly improved.
The combination of shape shape and combat skills. The combat skills that Lin Xi had created was to condense Qi into a palm and use his spirit to attack remotely. There were five moves in total. They were named Protective Palm, Repelling Palm, Grappling Palm, Diamond Palm, and Crushing Palm.
Diamond Stone increased his defense. This set of five consecutive palms increased his attacking methods.
Sunlight absorption solved the problem of energy source.
In this half a month, there were no more assassinations. Everything in the city was on the right track. In the sky, Lin Xi, who was completely filled with energy, opened his eyes. Hagi Hyuk spat out a bloody light and dove down from the sky.
It was time to leave.
On the way back to his residence in the city hall, he met Leonidas. This Sparta Wang Chuan wore a military coat and a red armband. He held a police baton and was doing his daily routine patrol on the streets of the nearby district.
When Lin Xi returned home, Ning Shuixin was cultivating the power of her absolute domain. Recently, her strength had increased quite a bit. 30% of her absolute domain activated the cold flames, which were more powerful than the Cosmos Thunder.
Wang Feifei was busy cooking. Ally and North were watching Tom and Jerry.
This time, Lin Xi prepared to bring Little North with him when he headed to the seven great special cities for revenge and challenge.
Actually, Ally was not bad. "The World" was a bugged skill. Zakum was a super boss. However, this city needed a strong person to guard it. Li Qi alone was not enough. Plus, he did not dare to leave North Qi Ji in Shen City for too long.
After all, she was a boss. This time, she would not be gone for a short period of time. If North went crazy and caused great destruction, he could only be at ease with her.
