Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 45: Looting

Hope nothing too big will happen!

Chen Shouyi crumpled up the newspaper and threw it into the trash can.

At the next stop, he immediately rushed to the bank.

Before reaching the door, he saw that the entire lobby of the bank was crowded with people.

Seeing this scene, Chen Shouyi was relieved instead.

Because the situation is not the worst yet.

Since the bank can still open for business, it means that the bank is equipped with an independent power supply system, and only the wireless network of the mobile phone is disconnected. At least the optical fiber connection can still be used normally.

Chen Shouyi discovered that the ATM was not turned on.

He speculated that it might be for the people to delay the speed of withdrawing money.

It may be that there is not enough cash reserves, or it may be to delay the looting of the people.

Walking into the lobby of the bank, I found that it was already crowded with people. Even the train station during the Spring Festival was probably not so crazy.

But it's normal to think about it.

With the popularity of mobile payment, fewer and fewer people use cash. Many people don't even have many opportunities to use cash at ordinary times, and they don't keep much cash on them.

Now that the mobile phone network is cut off, these people are also the most anxious.

He immediately took a number and queued up.

He didn't have much cash in his hand, only about three or four hundred yuan.

With the current situation, having more money in hand is better to be prepared.

And he didn't know whether the invasion of the force field from another world would continue to worsen. If the electricity and the internet were completely cut off, the money would probably never be withdrawn.

With the passage of time, not only did the number of people in the bank lobby not decrease, but it tended to increase.

Not long after, the security guard of the bank reminded the public hoarsely that each person can only withdraw up to 10,000 yuan.

There was an uproar in the crowd, and some people started to argue violently.

"Why can I only withdraw 10,000? I can't withdraw my own money."

"What can you do with 10,000 yuan, who knows how long the power outage will be, and what if the bank runs out of cash."

...

Fortunately, the excitement is the excitement. After all, the power outage happened not long ago, and the situation was not so serious as to be chaotic.

Most of the people are still rational, and there are soldiers and police patrolling the streets next to it.

In the end, under the continuous comfort of the security guards, although many people were reluctant, they gradually calmed down, and no serious incidents occurred.

Chen Shouyi didn't care much.

His money comes easily, and he doesn't care about money like an adult.

If it were changed to before, even 10,000 yuan would be a huge sum of money.

What's more, he still has the island's gold.

It can be described as gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, gold can hold more value than money.

...

After queuing up all morning, it was finally his turn.

After withdrawing the money, Chen Shouyi immediately went straight to the nearby supermarket.

In fact, most of the people who have withdrawn money have the same destination.

Although the newspapers tried their best to promote people not to loot, but it is completely impossible to avoid looting unless purchases are restricted.

Originating from people's own sense of crisis, people always tend to believe news that is not good for them. Coupled with group panic, looting is unavoidable.

When Chen Shouyi arrived at the supermarket, there was already a sea of ​​people inside, and all the people were buying like they didn't want money.

Chen Shouyi was also included.

The trolley in his hand is already full, most of which are drinking water, various sealed packaged cooked food, and storage-stable compressed biscuits.

Originally, he wanted to look for candles, but he couldn't find them anyway, probably they had already been snatched away.

In the end he had to take a bottle of cooking oil.

If there is still a power outage at night, it might be a good idea to have an oil lamp in the room.

His mobile phone is running out of power, and it has been turned off by him now.

The remaining power is still used when it is critical.

Chen Shouyi wasn't worried about his family. His mother had always been cautious, and she participated in every looting incident in society in his memory.

...

He was carrying big bags and small bags, and when he returned to the hotel, he didn't find the front desk, so he probably rushed to buy them too.

He put the things in the room and let out a long sigh of relief.

Thinking of the crowded scene in the supermarket that was almost trampled on, Chen Shouyi couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

It's crazy.

In fact, if it was just a simple power outage, it would not cause such panic looting.

It's just that the invasion of the alien force field this time has caused the chemical reaction to become dull, which is reflected in countless details.

For example, the flame of the natural gas at home weakened, the car was easy to stall and the accelerator accelerated slowly, and even smokers felt that the smoke was not strong enough. Naturally, it was impossible for Chen Shouyi to be the only one to notice these terrifying phenomena.

...

He let Shell Girl out. Get her some honey water first.

Then I ate a few compressed biscuits and a pack of sauced pork knuckles, and I finished my lunch.

It was two thirty in the afternoon.

Today he is not ready to go out again.

Now the streets are full of military police, and if he goes to the space passage of the unfinished building, he will be easily questioned.

For safety's sake, it's better to stay in the room.

"Has Beiqi come back yet?" Shell Girl, who pinched her nose and drank the honey water, licked her lips and asked expectantly.

She is obviously already addicted to cartoons and can't extricate herself.

"Not yet." Chen Shouyi replied.

Hearing the cruel news from the giant's mouth, Shell girl was very sad. She sighed and looked depressed.

But she was very quiet and didn't shout like yesterday.

Seeing her pitiful look, Chen Shouyi almost couldn't help giving her a glass bead to comfort her.

Fortunately, at last he was determined and unmoved.

The two remained silent, relatively wordless.

After a while, Chen Shouyi opened the panel with a bored expression on his face, and glanced at the words "Elementary self-healing". Fortunately, it was still the same as yesterday, and it did not become more transparent.

Finally, he glanced at the knowledge column, and just as he was about to close it, a piece of information suddenly flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help being stunned.

The book of knowledge reminds that the thirty-six body exercises and meditation exercises can be optimized again.

Chen Shouyi felt excited.

He waited for a long time and finally waited until now.

Only then did he discover that the energy accumulation had reached 3.04.

Is each optimization an increase of two points from the previous one, or three times the previous one?

He thought for a moment, then gave up.

These are not critical, the key is which one to optimize first.

The physical attributes increased by the Thirty-Six Body Refinement are naturally very important!

It is also indispensable to practice the body in meditation to strengthen the control ability of the body, and at the same time increase the perception attribute.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to optimize the thirty-six body exercises first.

Although it is important to practice one's body in tranquility, at least the effect is quite obvious for now, enough for him to use.

As for the thirty-six body training, since the transformation of the body, the progress has become much slower.

Of course, compared to other people, this speed of progress is still extremely fast, but just like a person who used to drive a Ferrari every day suddenly drives a Passat, the contrast between before and after is really unbearable.

He glanced at Shell Girl, and saw that she was still moaning.

He lay on his back on the bed and closed his eyes.

Immediately select "Thirty-six Forms of Body Training" for optimization.

The familiar dream came again. In the gray fog, I practiced the thirty-six exercises over and over again. Every time I practiced, my movements showed subtle adjustments.

With the passage of time, the thirty-six changes in body training have become more and more extensive, and have gradually become beyond recognition.

When he repeated it for the last time, his mind became peaceful, with no thoughts or thoughts, no waves, showing a sober state of tranquility.

In a trance, there seems to be a mysterious aura descending!
