March 24, 2016, the sixth day.《》()

Perhaps because of Carmel's participation, the news that the Earth was declared war was unknown to the public until now. What most people can see and feel are just some details that happen in their lives, and these details are largely fatal enough to be fatal.

First of all, the food price. On the surface, it has been nearly a week since the deadline Carmel said. Until now, Carmel's official official has not come out to give an explanation. Food prices are like the attitude of the Carmel government, and have maintained an ambiguous and half-dead curve. But on the other hand, the merchants who hoard food cannot be as calm as Carmel.

The price that can be cashed out at any time is the most attractive bait for small and medium-sized merchants, which is particularly obvious in some big cities. A week ago, small shops and supermarkets that had no inventory were swearing a week ago that they had "selling grain" signs at the doors of the store. Of course, at the same time, the government has also begun to issue a statement saying that the current grain purchase price limit is reduced. At the same time, the amount of rice limited to each person has also been appropriately increased, from 40 kilograms per month to 50 kilograms.

In the market's view, these government measures are undoubtedly the most obvious signal - the fall of dominoes directly triggered a nationwide sale, and the price of grain dropped by 30% in just half a day. Many people beat their chests and stamped their previous greed. Of course, more people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that life would return to the peace of the past - of course they would not know that the government recovered from the public during this period was far more than the quota grain they spent.

Almost all governments around the world are doing this - all leaders seem to have become socialists at this moment, believing that food, the most important resource in the future, must be controlled by the government. As for the consequences of this kind of thing being exposed by the media, affecting the support rate and - let the votes go to hell! Carmel is right. First of all, there must be a government, and secondly, it is better or bad government. If they don't do this, it is certain that when the war really threatens, a government that lacks food cannot maintain even the most basic social order. Then, there is naturally no need for such a government to exist.

Only the few people in society who have the strongest capital, the most patient, and the most informed sources of information have remained quite calm at this critical moment of chaos. Even if there is no definite news, in recent times, there have been constant meetings between governments and large and small, and front-line police officers - whether they are policemen or traffic police, there are more bullets on their belts. Although the government is carrying out these phenomena under the pretext of "maintaining stability", if you change your thinking and consider this matter with a relatively pessimistic attitude, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.

There are some other evidences that the number of international front-line politicians in the news media has significantly decreased, and the ban on exports of grain from various countries has not yet been loosened.

The most important point is that Carmel still maintains combat readiness standards in China, and large-scale mandatory military training is still underway. Even if Carmel's people publicly questioned the government several times, they did not get a satisfactory answer. On the contrary, the government's attitude began to become tougher. Li Litian even spoke publicly on Carmel TV that in Carmel, the government has the right to prevent citizens from knowing what they should not know.

...

Although according to the previous deductions of Wang Ming and Ivan, if the emperor's army wants to truly pose a threat to the earth, it must go through a long period of "study" and pay a very expensive "tuition fee". In private, the Carmel government has also reminded other governments that there is no need to be so nervous now. There is no need to be so urgent about food issues. Appropriate private reserves still have certain benefits - the people's disappointment and opposition to the government may be detected and used by the invading army. In that case, it will be really not worth the loss.

Although Carmel's speech is important now, he is still not a "ball captain" after all. No matter how much he says, it is just a suggestion. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that similar suggestions do not have too much market. In the past few days, the highest leaders of most countries on earth have been busy signing various agreements. Of course, the busiest of them is Li Litian. So far, more than 27 countries have proposed to establish an embassy in Carmel have been approved, and more than 10 countries have proposed to join the Consciousness Network Alliance (of course, their sincerity still needs to be reviewed). More than 15 countries have formed a military alliance with Carmel against force outside the earth. This alliance includes z, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Japan, Israel, Germany... These countries with the best armaments have expressed that they will implement limited military cooperation within the alliance, the main contents include military intelligence and information sharing - technology sharing is not included.

At present, Carmel is joining forces with the United States to improve the "orbital defense system" they have been improving, and also began to improve the ground monitoring system - the most important one is to integrate satellites of various countries and domestic monitoring systems, because from the current situation, this "simple and primitive" method is the most effective tool to deal with magic, and this one is also Carmel's biggest motivation to promote the formation of this military alliance.

At the same time, there is also the appropriate spread of magic within the alliance: Carmel selected personnel from the elite special forces of various countries that met the standards to form the "magic special forces". These soldiers were like Song Qiang. Although they joined the consciousness network and obeyed the command of the Chief of the Carmel military, they still maintained their allegiance to their motherland. Although some people have always questioned that the consciousness network is a tool for controlling the spirit, countless people who chose to leave after joining Carmel said that such doubts are undoubtedly nonsense. Even if the people in the consciousness network are controlled, they are controlled by all other users, not Ivan.

...

March 25, 2016, the seventh day.

Since I met the old man who claimed to be a "pioneer" in the underground passage and had some communication, Liu Qing's heartbeat has never slowed down.

Until now, he still couldn't imagine what kind of psychology he was saying so happily to the old man. Maybe it was because the feeling of consciousness communication was extraordinary, which made him talk. Maybe it was because his life was too failed, so there was a little anti-(harmonious) social thought in his heart, or maybe it was because some of the stubborn old man's thoughts resonated with him...

But these are no longer important. Since things have happened, then the next thing he needs to do is wait for the result quietly.

The price of grain has dropped a lot in recent days. Even the landlord was a little impatient in Daxinganling and began to think about coming back to sell the stored grain. When he saw the grain bags piled up next to him, to be honest, Liu Qing felt that guilt disappeared without a trace. When he watched the landlord direct the workers to move the entire room, to be honest, he was filled with the pleasure of hating the rich. This kind of pleasure even needs to be vented with a guitar. I really want to see the wonderful expression on the landlord's face in a while, maybe a week or a month.

Yesterday, Liu Qing went to charge the phone bill for the mobile phone that had been shut down, and then called the band members one by one. On the phone, he told them obscurely that if there is food at home, don’t sell it, and if there is no grain, the government’s grain purchase restrictions, sell it as much as the government’s grain purchase restrictions. As for whether they listen or whether they can make the decision at home, it is not something he can control. These buddies are his only friends in this world, and this is also a thing he can do.

Most of the day, Liu Qing would choose to return to the underground passage, watch the crowd walking back and forth indulge in singing - for him, this was completely a kind of catharsis, completely gone from the inferiority complex that had been before - although people's eyes were still the same as before, only he himself knew the world, and they really needed pity.

Perhaps it was because of his indulgence that the effect of singing was much better than that day. Every day when he closed the stall, he would inevitably think that if he could have earned this income on the first day, he might not have done that at that time.

He didn't do anything else with the extra money, and bought most of the food. In addition to the restricted purchases, he also bought a small amount of black market grain, and then spent a little more money to buy a radio. He originally wanted to buy a second-hand mini TV, but when he saw the radio, especially its price, he changed his mind.

This "old antique" that relies on radio waves to accept sound should have been eliminated in modern times. In fact, many mobile phones are already compatible with the functions of radios, but because of the shortage of money, if he buys a TV, he will not be able to do anything in his pocket. However, after changing to a radio, he can buy many batteries, and the extra money may be exchanged for a bicycle. This idea was changed afterwards. Instead of buying a bicycle, he went to the supermarket to buy a fire axe. This thing has been a best-selling product some time ago. With this thing, bicycles and even cars on the street can be chosen by himself.

At night, when he returned to the rental house, he would sit in front of the computer like before, quietly looking for possible clues on the Internet - these things are not difficult to find. Many "professional" netizens on the forum have ready-made provisions, and they are full of pictures and texts. However, in the eyes of uninformed people, these information is just a common conspiracy theories, but in his eyes, it is Satan's footsteps.

Taking advantage of the normal Internet network, Liu Qing received the CCTV on the radio and engraved the frequency on the radio. He originally planned to record it in his mobile phone, but when he thought of the standby time of his mobile phone and the most terrifying situation, he chose this primitive and reliable method.

He prepared a mountaineering bag, and he would carry it with him without bothering every time he went out. The mountaineering bag contained beef jerky, rice, batteries, and some anti-inflammatory drugs. If he wasn't afraid of being too out of order and inconvenient to take it, he actually wanted to take the fire axe out every day.

He is not a survival expert and has never been interested in survival, but he has been blessed with the Internet. In a few days, he has made up for a lot of common sense of survival. If it weren't for limited funds, he even wanted to buy one or two weapons to defend himself through the black market channel - similar small advertisements are rampant now, and there is a contact information in a public toilet recently. He also called, but after asking about the price, he didn't say much.

He also found some civil-sponsored survival organizations that were more "popular" (according to Liu Qing's understanding, it was more "popular") on the Internet. However, when he called, he was busy most of the time. Some people answered them by chance, either because they had disbanded or that they had to pay a certain fee. Some more "professional" organizations also asked him what skills they had - on some phone calls, the other party's frivolous attitude made Liu Qing feel that they might just feel that it was interesting to do this, rather than really for survival.

Today, Liu Qing did not go out to make money - he felt that the few hundred dollars he had on him were almost enough, and he had already bought everything he should buy, and the rest was waiting. Although the pioneer did not reveal anything when communicating with him, he had a premonition - it was not far away.

During the whole day, Liu Qing surfed the Internet at home and recorded as much information as possible in his notebook - underground cities, government-public air-raid shelter locations, city public security bureaus, municipal government locations, military districts, places where troops have been stationed, and of course, the most important railway station locations - it is not just a transportation force distribution center, but also a fast track to other cities, but the most important thing is that there is a space gate directly to Menggo! Among the countless escape routes analyzed by netizens, this one has always been considered the least dangerous and has the greatest safety factor.

...

Compared to Liu Qing, although Du Wei also has a certain plan for "survival", because he is always in a state of ignorance, both the sufficiency of preparation and the determination of the specific implementation process are far inferior to the former. What's more, he has always had a girlfriend who is dragging his feet.

Du Wei has much more funds than Liu Qing's preparations. In fact, sometimes, having money may not be a good thing - having money means having more choices, and for Du Wei, more choices means more trouble.

As a girlfriend, Yu Xiaojuan saw the most clearly about Du Wei's personality. Just this morning, when Du Wei asked her about whether she would buy food or a gun for the question of whether she would buy a thousand yuan, she said it in one sentence - you are like Yuan Shao of the Three Kingdoms period, who was indecisive and had one idea a day. When she really made a decision, she would look forward to it.

The final decision was to use the method Yu Xiaojuan gave to make a decision - tossing a coin. According to the result of the coin, at noon today, the school met a senior who helped him carry a gun, and then exchanged a thick stack of RMB for one in his arms, which was said to be a m9 that Carmel had.

Maybe Du Wei, who was guilty and inexperienced, was about to leave after taking the gun. It was after the senior reminded him that he remembered to take the bullets. As for trying it out, he never dared to think about it. After getting the gun, he regretted it. He didn't think that you could use this thing to shoot at someone calmly.

After returning to the dormitory, he carefully put his gun into his schoolbag. In addition to the gun, he also prepared some beef jerky, first aid medicines, and a detailed map of Ningzhou. It has to be said that like Liu Qing, he was influenced by online remarks.

The senior who sold his gun online quickly contacted him happily, while dutifully introducing him to the attempt to shoot and instructions for use, while mysteriously showing him the source of the gun - it is said that a relative of his family had a friend with Carmel. Carmel is now a national gun, so he dragged a few to escape inspection in the name of magic project (the construction workers of the magic project now almost always use guns, and they are not inspected. Carmel has no regulations on these issues, which is considered a policy loophole area). The senior sold the weapon that his family defended him because of the financial difficulties of his junior.

If it weren't for the delicate situation now, the police would have focused on emergency training on maintaining urban order. With the senior's attitude of this propaganda, neither of them would have any good results.

When she asked Yu Xiaojuan to come out in the evening and showed her the gun, the other party was also shocked - she always thought that the topic of buying a gun was just Du Wei's own whimsical thoughts, and what he said to him before was also exciting to him, and he planned to give up on his "survival plan", but unexpectedly, he really made a fortune and bought it back.

"Hide it quickly... By the way, it won't go crazy, right?" Yu Xiaojuan said in a low voice, and secretly looked around. The place where the two were in the small woods, a school dating resort. Although it was a bit remote and seemed to be without a lot of people, as long as you look carefully, there will always be more couples than you imagined.

"There are no bullets inside." Du Wei said.

"This thing...you can use it?"

Du Wei shook his head: "It shouldn't be difficult. The gun is not very caliber and has little recoil. As long as you pay attention, it will not be difficult for you to use it." He is just learning and selling it right away.

"I don't dare," Yu Xiaojuan looked at the murder weapon with a metallic luster in the darkness, and then raved, "Where is it as scary as you think? Isn't this okay? Gun? You've watched too many disaster movies."

To be honest, Du Wei regretted it a little, but since he had already bought it, even if he regretted it, he had nowhere to say: "It's better to have it than not." This tone was to convince Yu Xiaojuan, but rather to say it was to convince him.

Maybe if he really bought food, he would worry about such heavy things now, and how to bring them up at that time - it would probably take a long time before he would understand whether his decision today is worth it.
