Chapter 147: The Raging Spirit

Hedong City seems to have become a pool of stagnant water, and the atmosphere is getting more and more depressing day by day.

The next morning, Chen's father and Chen's mother finally couldn't help but call Chen Shouyi, borrowed a tricycle, and went to the vegetable market to continue purchasing.

When the group came there, they found that there were soldiers standing guard everywhere outside the vegetable market, and the atmosphere was solemn.

When I walked into the vegetable market, there were pitifully few stalls. Except for an official grain and oil store, the prices did not rise, all vegetables and meat were expensive, which was more than several times more expensive than before the change.

"Why is it so expensive? Who can afford it? And it doesn't look fresh." Chen's mother picked up a cabbage and asked about the price. She actually cost nine yuan per catty, and she was shocked.

"I said to my sister-in-law, this is really not expensive. I wholesale it and it's not much cheaper, so I just earn some hard money."

"But it's not that expensive, it's more expensive than the previous meat price."

A vendor said impatiently: "If you want to be cheap, go to the suburbs to buy it, which is much cheaper. If you want to buy it in the countryside, it is like you don't have any money."

Chen Shouyi frowned slightly. It is not easy to live in a large city, especially for the current situation.

This change has not had much impact on agriculture, or it has not had much impact in a short period of time.

However, Hedong City has a population of tens of millions, and this super-large city itself has established modern and efficient logistics. Before the change, not to mention the vegetables and meat foods in the surrounding vegetable and meat bases, you can reach the city center in just a few hours. The prices in the suburbs and the city center are not much different.

But now the level of logistics has suddenly deteriorated to not much better than that of the feudal era. From car transportation to tricycles, the cost of logistics has increased dozens or even hundreds of times. No matter how cheap things are, the price will soar.

Although Chen's mother was so painful, after some bargaining, she finally bought a lot of cabbage for eight yuan, then bought another meat, more than ten kilograms of eggs, two barrels of oil, and five bags of twenty-five kilograms of grain before leaving the vegetable market.

"This little thing costs more than 3,000 yuan!" Chen's mother sat in the tricycle and said heartbrokenly: "If you go buy it next time, you must go to the countryside to buy it."

"Mom, forget it, just be more expensive." Chen Shouyi pedaled a tricycle and said, "There are soldiers in the city that are martial law, which is quite safe. I don't know what's going on in the countryside. In a few days, I will be paid, which should be enough for my life."

Chen's mother frowned. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that several pedestrians on the roadside glanced at her from time to time, with unconcealed greed and covetousness in her eyes. She immediately swallowed.

Seeing this, Chen Shouyi glanced coldly, fortunately, he could see soldiers and police from time to time on the road, and there were no one who was blind and dared to rob.

In the chaos, people used heavy punishments, except for the first day of the beginning of the mutation, there were people who took advantage of the chaos to smash, loot and kill. However, as soldiers took to the streets and began martial law, especially after shooting some chaotic elements on the spot, they were shocked, and no one dared to do evil on the street again.

Of course, those sins hidden in the dark cannot be stopped.

In this depressing atmosphere, life is difficult and many people are full of fear and confusion about the future.

In addition, the information has become blocked, and you never know the world's affairs without leaving the house. Now, you can't hear other information except for a few kilometers. Being in the city is like falling into an isolated island.

No one knows what's going on outside now.

Is the war beginning or is it still maintaining peace?

Agitated, panic, and restless. Under all the stimulation, even a person who was once gentle and elegant may release the demon in his heart in a blink of an eye. During this period, you can hear where someone was killed everywhere.

...

Chen Shouyi rode a tricycle and returned to the community. He saw several policemen carrying a body that had been packed into a body bag and moving it onto a specially renovated big dou tricycle, which had already been placed on it.

One of them, judging by size, is a child, so it is obviously a family of three.

The residents of the community in groups of three or three in the distance whispered and dared not approach them from afar.

"Stop looking, bad luck, go quickly!" Chen's mother urged uneasy.

Chen Shouyi responded, withdrew his gaze, continued to ride the tricycle, and soon he came downstairs of the community.

He carried five bags of grain on his shoulders, and another slap of pork and two buckets of cooking oil in his hands, and walked up the stairs with Chen's mother.

...

"Mom, brother, you are back, where are you?" Chen Xingyue asked.

"Your dad is going to return the tricycle!" Chen's mother said with some anxiety.

"I'll tell you something. The police have just arrived and someone on the ninth floor died." Chen Xingyue said.

"When I came, I saw it outside. Is it our building dead?" Chen Shouyi said in surprise.

More than ten minutes later, Chen Dawei also came back. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh: "Do you think the people in our building did it?"

He was not worried much. Not to mention that his son was a warrior, but even his daughter was a warrior apprentice. It was not enough for ordinary murderers to deal with his family.

"No, I see that everyone here is very kind-hearted." Chen's mother said.

"Mom, who knows people, but not your heart, can you say it right?" Chen Xingyue curled her lips and said.

...

After lunch, Chen Shouyi stayed at home for a while and couldn't stay anymore. He was stuck at home every day and was almost bored.

As he walked along the way, he walked to the haunted house without realizing it.

He suddenly felt something strange, as if something was wrong. There was still hundreds of meters away from the haunted house, but he had already felt a faint gloomy feeling. He looked up in the direction of the haunted house, and it seemed that the light was a little dark.

Unexpectedly, it was already so serious!

This natural spirit is getting stronger and stronger.

He noticed that there was a thick layer of snow on the cement road in the alley, and there were no other footprints except for a few scattered footprints. Obviously, there were few people coming and going here recently.

Chen Shouyi hesitated for a while and was about to walk into the alley to go to the haunted house to take a look, but after walking a few steps, he was stopped by the soldiers standing guard on the roadside:

“This is prohibited from entering.”

He couldn't help but feel a stern in his heart, took out the warrior's certificate, and asked, "What's going on inside?"

The soldier looked solemn after the inspection and said, "There are many people who have died inside. Now the people nearby have been moved to other places. In order to avoid panic among the people nearby, please do not spread the news."

"Is no one here to deal with it?" Chen Shouyi said in confusion.

"The Investigation Bureau of Class III came once the day before yesterday, but it still returned in vain. Now it can only be temporarily isolated and wait for the final processing."
