MTL - Epoch of Twilight-Chapter 13 Purchase restriction
In the early morning of the next day, Luo Yuan was woken up by the big horn of the propaganda car outside.
"Dearly citizens! Dear citizens!"
"In order to maintain stability, suppress prices, protect people's livelihood, and let people who have not bought food, they can also eat enough food. From now on, food, drinking water, meat, and vegetables are supplied quantitatively. The municipal government is in the major farmers' markets. Set the supply point, the public will be limited by the ID card.
"Dearly citizens! Dear citizens!"
The outside speaker is played over and over again!
He fell asleep and quickly got up and dressed, opened the door.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yali walked out of the bedroom door in her pajamas and yawned, a confused look.
“The government has taken measures. Can the food and vegetables be supplied quantitatively in the future?” Luo Yuan said with a smile, he said in a hurry.
Although he stocks a lot of food and other materials, but those fresh vegetables, meat is difficult to buy, because it will soon be robbed, and sit on the mountain, so much food, how long to eat. Now that the city government has finally taken measures, it means that there is no need to be scared in the future. This is undoubtedly a happy event.
After all, no one likes the troubled world except the ambitious family and some madmen.
"I will go and see if I can buy it?" Luo Yuan laughed.
"Let's go together, at least take a double." Zhao Yali said with a smile.
"Alright, if you go to wear clothes, don't wash them first. If you go early, you will definitely have a lot of people, and you have to queue up for a long time."
"Ah!" Zhao Yali noticed that she was still wearing pajamas, her face was reddish, and she quickly closed the door.
The woman's clothes are slower. When she puts on her clothes and opens the door, it has been ten minutes. Looking at her, it seems that she has been dressed a little.
Luo Yuan smiled a bit, and then she went out with her door. Just as she walked out of the building, even if she was psychologically prepared, Luo Yuan was shocked.
The community is crowded with people. He has never discovered that there are so many people in this community. These people seem to be attracted by an invisible force, and they will gather into a huge flow of people and flow slowly toward the gate of the community.
Households with private cars, the horns are kept on, but they are not allowed to move in the crowds. Some sensible, open the door and get off, and walk along with the crowd.
These people are carrying baskets, holding washbasins, and even more, even dragging a suitcase, but most people are like Luo Yuan, their hands are empty.
Originally thought that the flow of people in the community is already spectacular enough, but when they walked down the street, they found that this was simply a big witch.
It is like a river flowing into the sea. With the continuous advancement, countless small people flow and constantly flow into the streets, and the whole street is almost filled with people. Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali were squeezed in the crowd, and they didn't have to move around, and the body was automatically pushed forward by the flow of people.
This kind of scene he usually only watched on TV, but he did not expect it to happen around.
“It’s really lively!” Zhao Yali said with a little excitement. She seems to be happy: “I used to feel that the city was very indifferent. There were many people in the city, and the relationship was good. There were three or four things. People felt very lonely. I didn’t expect it. When it’s lively, it’s like the market that my mom told me when I was young.”
Luo Yuan shook his head and couldn't understand: "When you have a lot of fun, I know that so many people, I will not come, so when it will go down, it will be our turn."
He has some regrets.
"Maybe I am feeling that I am leaving the city. I thought I would stay in this city for a lifetime, marry a husband, have a baby... I didn't expect to go back in the end." She looked down and her eyes quickly became Wet.
"If you are sad, don't think about it. In fact, the countryside is not safe now. There are many mutant beasts. You still advise parents to move to the city or the town, at least safe."
"Well, but thank you, if you don't help me, I can't hold it anymore." Zhao Yali gratefully looked at Luo Yuan and said.
"Thank you for seeing it, how do you say that we have been renting for so long?" Luo Yuan smiled and said.
"No matter what, you must always contact in the future!" Zhao Yali said seriously.
"It’s different from life and death. I will send you back tomorrow, and wait until you get home." Luo Yuan was a little jealous of Zhao Yali’s words and quickly interrupted.
When the two of them talked and walked, the time was too fast. When I was a child, the flow of people finally reached the door of the nearest farmer's market.
Two rows of fully armed armed policemen stood upright and armed with automatic rifles in their hands, maintaining the order of the team. Under the deterrent of the armed police, the crowd was slightly commotion, but it quickly calmed down.
With the flow of people into the market, Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali have already cleared all kinds of facilities in the market and replaced them with a large amount of materials. A yellow warning band circled the market circle, and every one metre, there was a heavily armed armed police guard.
Every five meters, a metal simple trading window similar to the police kiosk was set up. There are more than one hundred trading windows in the past. If you add the other three faces, there are four or five hundred. Trading point.
But even with so many trading points, the movement of people is extremely slow.
There are so many people, the air looks boring and hot, only after ten minutes, he and Zhao Yali are already sweating.
He is okay, after all, he is strong and strong, and he has never been sick since he had a system. Whether it is physical strength or energy, the recovery speed is far more than ordinary people, but Zhao Yali is not good, I am afraid that they will not be their turn. Heat stroke.
"Would you like to squeeze in front of us?" Luo Yuan said.
"I'm afraid I can't squeeze in?" Zhao Yali fanned her hand and tried to keep herself cool. She looked at the crowds and tried to test.
"Give it to me, grab my hand?" Luo Yuandao.
When Zhao Yali was hesitating, she was caught by Luo Yuan, and then her body was pulled by him and squeezed toward the front.
Luo Yuan has great strength and is close to eleven o'clock. He is almost five times as many as a normal person. He is quick-moving and quick-eyed. His body is like a fish, and he is constantly moving toward the gap between the crowds.
There was a complaint around, but such behavior was everywhere in the crowd, and Luo Yuan was not obvious in it. Chinese people are very tolerant of this kind of behavior. In fact, most office workers do not have to deal with cars in one day.
After a while, Luo Yuan took Zhao Yali and finally squeezed into the first trading window.
"Why am I less than others? Are you mistaken?" an elderly middle-aged woman said loudly.
"Because you are not a local account, please see the bulletin board outside." The young waitress sitting behind the computer said with impatience: "Don't take the place, come to the next one."
Middle-aged women still want to argue, but they are quickly squeezed out.
"I have to give me the biggest share." A bald man with a huge gold necklace hanging from his head and neck shouted a stack of banknotes.
"Every person with a ID card is only limited to three days of share, the rest you need to buy in three days." The service staff glanced at the stack of banknotes, faintly said.
"Can you get through, money is not a problem." Bald man loudly.
"This is no way, the policy stipulates a total of two hundred!" The service staff explained one sentence.
"It seems that I can only go to the black market to buy it!" The bald man muttered a sentence, paid the bill, and took over two large plastic bags handed over by a staff member at the window.
At this time, it was finally Luo Yuan’s turn. He took out his ID card and two hundred dollars and handed it to the waiter. He said, “It’s also three days.”
The service staff took the money and ID card, entered the computer, and soon someone handed two bags.
When Zhao Yali bought something, he took Zhao Yali's bag and the two men struggled out of the market.
"Squeezing me out of sweat, finally came out, suffocating me?" Zhao Yali loosened the hand holding Luo Yuan's arm and looked at the crowd still black and pressed, and said with a heart.
"Look what's inside?"
"One bag is rice, it seems to be only five pounds, the other bag is a pound of meat, two pounds of vegetables, three apples, five pounds of drinking water, oh, there are three pieces of chocolate, a small packet of toffee." Luo Yuan clicked and said.
"It’s really dark, it’s going to be two hundred. It’s getting more and more worthless. It’s probably not fifty in the past!” Zhao Yali secretly groaned.
"It's already very cheap, what are you going to do? At least cheaper than the black market." Luo Yuan did not think that he understood the black market, now the black market food has risen to twenty-five dollars a pound, meat is Expensive, at least a hundred pounds, at this price, there is no place to buy. In this way, two hundred pieces are already very cheap.
"That is the government's restrictions on purchases, how can it be so dark, the government is stealing money from the money. Fortunately, I have to go home, or live in the city, I can't afford it?" she exclaimed. She is a clerk in a foreign-funded company, and her monthly salary is no more than 3,000. Even if the company does not go bankrupt, it is difficult to support herself at such a price.
"That is also!" Luo Yuan smiled, but the smile was bitter.
In fact, what about rural areas?
Eight days ago, Captain Chen of the Gaotang Town Police Station called and asked him to reserve some food to prepare. He didn't say much at the time, but there was a bit of dignity in the words.
Luo Yuan was curious and went to Gaotang Town.
After a large area of tree felling and burning, the situation in Gaotang Town is very stable and there is no abnormal place.
But when he reached the intersection, he found a strange phenomenon. The farmland in Gaotang Town has been replanted for a season of rice. Although it is about to pass the New Year, it is still winter. However, due to the abnormal climate, rice is supposed to be as long as other plants.
However, this is not the case. He saw that the rice fields are overgrown with weeds, the length is very lush and dense, and the length is two or three inches higher than that of rice. The living space of rice has been squeezed by weeds, even Even the sun can't be obtained, and there is no way to compete with it.
He asked an old farmer who passed by and learned that the weeds could not be removed with pesticides. They could only slowly go to the farmland by the old method. But nowadays there are insects everywhere in the fields, and they are poisonous and awkward. If you dare to do this, you can only let it be abandoned.
He was shocked at the time. Hey, I don’t even know how to come back. I only know that the world is going to change.
At 12:30 on the second day, Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali were properly packed.
Luo Yuan took her two boxes, walked out of the community, called a taxi, and drove toward the station.
"How do you hold a wooden box?" Zhao Yali looked at the things in Luo Yuan's hand and asked curiously.
"A craft." Luo Yuan laughed.
"In fact, you don't have to give gifts, this will cause them to misunderstand." Zhao Yali is obviously misunderstood, some powerless said, if Luo Yuan with a gift to the door, I am afraid she explained, parents will not believe it.
"You made a mistake, this is not a gift, I forgot the gift, I can't buy it at the train station." Luo Yuan smiled back.
"You don't want to buy, or I will have a headache for a long time." Zhao Yali quickly stopped the road, but forgot to ask what is inside the wooden box?
"You are going home to see your parents? If you buy a gift, it is better to send a bag of rice, and the mother must be happy." The driver heard the conversation and joined the fun.
Zhao Yali quickly flew two red clouds on her face.
"In fact, we are just ordinary men and women friends, so she is afraid of misunderstanding." See Zhao Yali face red, Luo Yuan Jiewei.
"I see it too fast. Of course, my wife and I are here. Where are you going? I mean where to take the train?" the driver asked.
"Yushui City!" Luo Yuan did not want to talk more, succinctly.
“Yushui City, is there a place where there is a mountain?” The driver suddenly asked.
"Yeah, Yushan is on the edge of Yushui City, a famous tourist attraction, the driver master, have you been there to play?" Speaking of her hometown, Zhao Yali said with some excitement.
"I haven't played it yet, but you have to be careful. Listen to my friend and say that many people have died there recently. Even the armored cars have entered, and they have been playing for a day." The driver said seriously.
Zhao Yali was so scared that her face turned white.
Luo Yuan patted her shoulder, comforted, and asked dignifiedly: "So serious, your message is not reliable?"
"How can I lie to this kind of thing, and it is not good. My buddies are from Yushui City, but I work in Donghu City. Now I have my parents here. It seems that Donghu City is safer. The place is already in chaos," the driver said.
"This is the news a few days ago?" Luo Yuan continued to ask.
"Three days ago, it should have been settled now." The driver said: "But be careful not to make a big mistake!"
"Thank you, Master! If you don't say, we still don't know?" Luo Yuan immediately thanked.
"No, no one is easy now. I see, this is coming, the government is still so strict. I want to say that each person sends a gun, which is better than the current fear every day."
"Xiaoyuan, what to do, do you say that my parents will have something?" Zhao Yali has no gods.
"Did you not call last night, and then look at it?" Luo Yuan reminded.
"Oh, yes! Right!" She quickly took out the phone.
"Hey, Mom! You and Dad are okay... Nothing, I will ask, our train for one and a half minutes, should be able to go home from half past three to four o'clock... and a colleague came over to send me... Male...not what you think...for mom, what is happening in the remaining water...rat disaster...oh, that mom, it’s okay, I hang up!” Zhao Yali hangs up and sighs. .
"It's okay, it seems that there has been a rat disaster there, should there be nothing?" Zhao Yali said.
“Is it just a mouse?” Luo Yuan thought, but there was an unpredictable feeling in his heart.
Because he knows that the F+ mission is definitely not so good.
The two came to the train station, but when they checked, the knives couldn't pass the security check. For example, Luo Yuan explained that it was useless. He only needed emergency check-in until he was sure to arrive at the same time. Luo Yuan was relieved.
Without a knives, Luo Yuan had no confidence in completing the F+ mission.
The train station is very crowded, and it is almost thought that it is the Spring Festival. These people are mostly heavy-faced, with depression on their faces and worry about the future.
The two did not find a seat and stood in the aisle!
Luo Yuan found that the train was very late. In just half an hour, there were four or five trains. The trains were late, and when they were approaching one and a half, the trains that drove to the remaining water also showed a delay. It seems that the road has happened. whats the matter.
"How is this train, it also shows that it is too late, too bad!" Zhao Yali complained.
"Come on slowly, as long as you can get there." Luo Yuan comforted a sentence, but his heart gradually sank.
Fortunately, there was no accident this time. After half an hour, the train finally got into the station.
Luo Yuan cut the ticket, and Zhao Yali went into the platform, and everyone suddenly became stunned. Some people even pointed off. I saw that the whole train was full of blood everywhere, a mess, and some places were still contaminated with some feathers.
Luo Yuan bent over and picked up a half ruler to make the color dark and with a hint of metallic luster, which made an identification.
"The sparrow's feathers"
"Use: Materials"
"Relity: white."
"Weight: 10 grams."
"Evaluation: This is the feather of a mutant sparrow."
Variation sparrow?
Did this train have been attacked by sparrows?
He looked at the feathers that were half a foot long. It is estimated that the sparrow should be close to a foot.
If even the birds are mutated, this is a bit bad, and the route may become very unsafe and even shut down completely. More seriously, birds are more difficult to defend than wild animals, and their hunting distance is too great, not to mention some particularly large birds.
Even if you cut down trees and burn forests, you can't stop the arrival of these mutants. When he thinks that the giant bird that covers the sky will appear in the sky above the city, he can't help but chill.
I hope that this will not happen in Donghu City. Luo Yuan is comforting himself, but even the most optimistic estimate is that he hopes that with the large-scale burning of forests in the country, some mutated hunters that are devoid of food will probably target food.
"How can such a thing happen?" Zhao Yali said with amazement, clutching Luo Yuan's hand tightly, his body trembled slightly.
Luo Yuan is absolutely right, I really don't know how to comfort.
"Let's go, get on the bus." Luo Yuan said: "Otherwise it will drive away."
