"Good evening, viewers, what you are watching is the CCTV news broadcast...

He pointed out that he hoped that the people would not panic, overcome all difficulties, unite as one, maintain social stability, believe in the government and the people's army, and be able to solve all difficulties...

The United States is willing to work with China in various fields for mutual benefit and reciprocity to overcome difficulties...

The Yunnan Military Region carried out live ammunition drills in mountainous areas to test the actual combat power of heavy rockets...

Aurora phenomena appeared in Northeast China and other places, attracting a large number of people to watch...

Luo Yuan carefully watched the news, analyzing the recent domestic and international situation, and the residents upstairs started to quarrel again.

"Eat! Eat! Eat! If you know how to eat, if you can't buy food tomorrow, our mother and I will starve to death!" The hostess roared in a shrill voice.

"Then what do you tell me to do? Now the supermarkets, farmer's markets, and even the grain and oil wholesale markets are all sold out. I can still produce grain. I'll go and have a look tomorrow?" suppress.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! When are you going to wait? We will run out of food in a few days. I told you a long time ago, go buy it early, go buy it early, but you just don't listen! You also said that the company cannot ask for leave. Now the company What's the matter, isn't it down?" The hostess' voice was so penetrating that a layer of concrete couldn't stop it.

"Why don't you go buy it? Aren't you at home all the time?" The male host's voice also became high.

"Do you think I don't want to, who will take the child? Do you want me to hold the child and go outside to fight with people? What if it breaks? It's a mess outside now, there are robberies and murders everywhere... you Heartless thing, are you still a man?"

boom! Snapped!

The sound of dishes being smashed, the sound of children crying, was a mess.

"Okay! Alright! Don't mess it up. I'll go to my friend's place tomorrow to get some food. Maybe it will be all right after a while. The country has so much food in reserve, so we won't let us starve to death?" the male host just raised The momentum was quickly knocked down from the clouds, and he quickly lowered his body and breathed out.

"You, are you really mad at me?" The hostess wailed suddenly: "Why did I find someone like you? The family is almost out of food, and you are not in a hurry. How will you live in the future?"

"Good! Good! Good! I'll go to the black market to buy it tomorrow, no matter how high the price is, I'll buy it. It's okay! Stop arguing and let others listen to the joke."

The quarrel gradually faded away.

In just half a month, both the news and the Internet have changed drastically, and the society is filled with a sense of panic. No matter how the government propagandizes people to calm down, this feeling is like a plague as more and more animals and plants mutate. Generally, it quickly intensifies.

Various supplies such as food were quickly looted, and the entire supermarket was empty. No matter how much was brought in, it was snapped up by crazy people. What followed was skyrocketing prices, social chaos, robbery, murder, and rape took turns in this city.

Because Luo Yuan was well prepared, he was not affected by this trend.

"Xiao Yuan has eaten." Zhao Yali came out of the kitchen and greeted her.

Luo Yuan turned off the TV and sat down at the dining table.

Zhao Yali came back from ten days ago, and she hadn't been sad for a long time before she encountered this panic that spread to the whole world.

The dishes are very simple, a plate of pickles, two poached eggs, and a bowl of seaweed soup.

Although there are still a lot of supplies in the storage room of the room, and the refrigerator is also filled with a lot of pickled meat and vegetables, but no one knows how long this panic will pervade. If you can save a little at this time, you will have a little more chance of survival .

Zhao Yali ate with a cautious expression. After a while, she said, "I went to the farmer's market again today, but I still couldn't buy anything!"

"Don't go out recently, after a while, it should be fine, the city government can't ignore it, it is very likely to take compulsory measures." Luo Yuan thought for a while and said.

"How is your company doing now?"

"I don't know. People are panicking now. No one can work with peace of mind. Maybe it won't last long?" Zhao Yali said with a downcast expression, "I'm going back to my hometown. I don't worry about my parents."

Luo Yuan was not surprised. Recently, she often called home with a worried look on her face. It was obvious that she had intended to go. He asked, "When?"

"The day after tomorrow. My hometown is in the countryside. I heard that it has become very dangerous now. I don't feel relieved if I don't go and see it." Zhao Yali forced a smile.

"Drip, optional mission, F+ grade mission: Escort Zhao Yali home, if Zhao Yali dies, the mission will fail! No time limit. (Accept/Cancel)"

F+ task! Another F+ mission!

Luo Yuan's hand holding the chopsticks froze slightly.

"What's wrong? Your face is a bit ugly?" Zhao Yali asked with concern.

"Nothing?" Luo Yuan took a deep breath and concealed, "When did you say you would go back?"

"The day after tomorrow, I've booked the train ticket for the day after tomorrow." Zhao Yali said it again, thinking that she could go home soon, she felt better, and said with a smile: "I leave everything here to you, I will keep in touch in the future!"

He looked at Zhao Yali, who rarely showed a smile recently, and felt a little complicated. If she didn't accept this task, with an F+ difficulty, she might die!

Could it be that he really watched her go to die?

After being silent for a while, the balance in my heart gradually tilted, and he said with a smile, "Since you are so generous, then I will give it to you."

"Okay, I still have a lot of bags to carry, so don't complain when the time comes." Zhao Yali thought that Luo Yuan just wanted to send her to the station, so she didn't refuse, and this time she went home completely, and never returned to Donghu City up. Even though there are a lot of things to throw away, there are still three large and small boxes. She is considering whether to check it in?

"You misunderstood. They are sending you home. The countryside is very dangerous now. How can you go back as a woman?" Luo Yuan said seriously.

"Ah! It really doesn't matter, it's actually not very far away, it only takes more than an hour by train. It should be fine." Zhao Yali was stunned for a moment, with a flash of sparkle in her eyes, and she was a little moved.

"Needless to say, I don't worry about you alone. I'm going to book tickets online now. What time? Which train? I hope it will come in time." Luo Yuan shook his head and said without question.

"Yushui City, it's half past one in the afternoon." Seeing that Luo Yuan must go, Zhao Yali had no choice but to say.

She was originally a person with no opinions, and now there is everything on the Internet, so she is really a little scared by herself. I was moved and had a headache at the same time, what should I say when I see my parents? I just lost my fiancé, and everyone in the village knows about it. I'm afraid I'm going to gossip after seeing Luo Yuan.

At this moment, he thought of something, turned around and said, "Sister Yali, do you have to leave the day after tomorrow? How about tomorrow?"

"Actually, you really don't need to send me off. It's too much trouble for you. I want to leave tomorrow, but I can't book a ticket at all. Now that many migrant workers have gone home, it's hard to get a ticket." Zhao Yali said.

It seems that the loopholes in the system are not easy to exploit, and it seems that you can only rely on your own strength. He waved his hand: "Didn't I resign, I am free every day, I just asked casually?"

He walked to the bedroom, turned on the computer, and logged into the railway customer service center. Fortunately, there were still tickets, and he quickly ordered one.

After eating, Luo Yuan went back to the bedroom and sat quietly for a while.

Then, he took out a long wooden box from the bottom of the bed, opened the lid, and inside was a horse-chopping knife with a sheath. The scabbard was made of hardwood, with cloud-like decorations carved on it!

Holding the long handle of the knife, Luo Yuan slowly pulled the knife out of the scabbard.

The blade is straight, the blade is very thin, and the tip is slightly curved. At this time, the knife has been sharpened, it looks chilly and extremely sharp, not to mention breaking a hair, even ordinary metal can be cut off.

"Cut the horse knife."

"Material: 165cm alloy."

"Rarity: light blue."

"Weight: 4.1 kg."

"Attack Power: 16-20"

"Side effect: attack speed +1

"Equipment requirements: Strength 11 points"

"Evaluation: This is a horse-chopping knife of modern craftsmanship, with the sharpness of cutting hair and cutting gold and jade."

The horse-cutting knife has a long history and appeared in the Han Dynasty. Like the famous Mo knife, it can cut both horses and people. It is the ultimate weapon on the battlefield. It is most suitable for cavalry charge and condescending to slash the enemy. It is a heavy duty sword.

Of course, this modern horse-chopping knife is naturally very different from the ancient ones. First of all, the handle of the knife is much shorter. It can be held with one hand or with both hands. It is very flexible. Secondly, the body of the knife is also greatly shortened. Only one meter three four in length, moderate length, not easy to break.

After this period of high-intensity training, although his strength has not yet reached eleven o'clock, it is very close, and he can use it normally, but it consumes some energy.

After chopping a few times casually, the sharp blade cut through the air, making slight noises.

Because the center of gravity of the knife is relatively forward, it is very smooth to cut, and there is a tendency to cut faster and faster. If there is no foundation, it is impossible to control such a long knife, and the center of gravity of the knife belt will be unstable instead.

But for Luo Yuan, nature is not a problem at all.

I saw that his whole body was full of swords, vertical slashing, horizontal slashing, horizontal slashing, and straight stabbing. Although the moves are simple, they are the most practical moves on the battlefield. He walked with the knife on his feet, moved in a small area in the bedroom, and practiced for half an hour before stopping.

He took out a piece of leather, gently wiped the non-existing dust on it, reinserted the scabbard, and put it back into the wooden box.

"Although the F+ level task is dangerous, my strength has also improved a lot compared to last time. Not only has I added an attribute point of agility, but there are also five skill points that have not been allocated. With this sharp saber, the task may not be impossible."
