Dawn of a New Era

The shoes had been trampled on during the strenuous exercise just now, and it was quite uncomfortable to walk on the road. Chen Shouyi simply kicked off the shoes and walked barefoot.

It was almost noon at this time, the winter sun was shining on his body, but he didn't feel much warmth at all. A layer of thin ice covered with patterns was condensed on the ground, and a gust of cold wind blew in, causing goose bumps on his skin.

Before entering the community, Chen Shouyi noticed that a camphor tree on the side of the road had sprouted buds in this harsh winter. It was green and tender, exuding vigorous vitality. If it weren't for the freezing cold under his feet, he would have been in a daze It feels like spring has entered.

He looked at several other camphor trees on the road, only to realize that this camphor tree was not a special case.

After the mutation, the mysterious force began to permeate the earth. Although this force slowed down the electrochemical reaction of matter, it obviously did not have much effect on living beings. It was not like the other four fundamental forces of the universe. This is a kind of spiritual power. For life, it is similar to sunlight for plants. It can be absorbed and transformed by living things more easily, bringing more vigorous vitality.

...

In the evening, the war gradually came to an end. Only the occasional burst of intense artillery fire indicated that there were still sporadic giant spiders wandering in the city.

Chen Shouyi, who had put on his shoes again, stood on the balcony and looked into the distance. The dense and choking gunpowder smoke filled the sky above the city, as if shrouded in a thick layer of mist.

At this moment, Chen Shouyi saw a fat man in a down jacket walking cautiously towards the giant black spider he had killed in the community yesterday.

This giant spider was killed by him with a sword, and many legs were chopped off by him.

Seeing this fat man boldly walking to the side of a black broken leg, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, then suddenly squatted down and struggled to pick up the broken leg, and then walked back.

Chen Shouyi suddenly looked surprised.

What is he doing with this thing?

Wouldn't it be to eat it!

Maybe someone noticed this scene. Not long after, many people ran out one after another. There were more and more people, but after all, there were only three broken legs, so there were too many monks, and the rest began to use the whole giant spider corpse to make up their minds. .

The giant black spider is huge, and as a creature living under three times the gravity, it weighs nearly one ton, and its carapace is also quite hard.

Some of these people brought axes, some with kitchen knives, and some with hammers, trying to dismember the giant spider, but the effect was obviously not very good, until a middle-aged man with the strength of a warrior apprentice came over with a sword, the process It finally managed to get going smoothly, and the middle-aged martial artist apprentice didn't seem to be planning to take it all by himself, but enthusiastically helped other people cut up the corpses.

Brother, what are you looking at? Chen Xingyue asked, walking over with Song Tingting.

Chen Shouyi gestured with his finger.

When Chen Xingyue saw it, she felt a little uncomfortable and said, Brother, you killed this. There's so much meat, why should they take it?

Chen Shouyi was surprised when he heard the words: This is spider meat, can it be eaten?

Isn't it said in the book that girls are most afraid of this kind of thing?

Brother, what kind of spider? This thing looks like a praying mantis. You can't call anything with eight legs a spider. Chen Xingyue rolled her eyes and said, And this is the meat of a creature from another world. Yes, the last time I ate the meat you brought back, I felt that my strength has improved very fast.

Is it so obvious? Why didn't he feel it? For him, those meats are easier to fill up.

But thinking about it this way, he did find that during that time, his parents looked much better.

It's not easy to want to eat. It's everywhere outside. Thinking of the giant silver spider outside the community, Chen Shouyi couldn't stand still, and didn't know if he was still there: I'll go out and look for it!

He took the sword from the bedroom and went out the door.

Not long after, he walked out of the community, and the body of the silver giant spider was still there.

There was no pedestrian on the road, only three hungry stray dogs with green eyes, biting desperately at the wound of the giant silver spider, their mouths were full of green blood.

see this scene,

Chen Shouyi felt relieved.

It appears to be non-toxic.

When the dogs saw Chen Shouyi approaching, they were about to grin their teeth, but when he stared at them, they whimpered and quickly fled with their tails between their legs.

Dogs are far more sensitive to dangerous smells than humans.

A martial artist like Chen Shouyi's biological field is dozens of times that of an ordinary human being. Once maliciousness is revealed, creatures that are unresponsive to breath will naturally have little effect, but for those sensitive creatures, it is a strong danger signal .

He walked quickly to the side of the giant silver spider, and this was the first time he had watched this terrifying creature so closely.

Its six legs were curled up into a ball, and the green blood in the wound had been frozen by low temperature, which may be the cause of its death. Its original light silver luster has become quite dim, and its body seems to have lost a mysterious color.

Without delay, he drew out his sword, aimed at its strongest forelimb, and slashed it down, as if cutting into metal.

There was a crisp clicking sound, and the forefoot, which was about ten centimeters thick and nearly two meters long, snapped and fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Chen Shouyi looked at the blade of the sword and found that there was no curling blade. He immediately felt relieved and chopped off another one. Immediately, they respectively mentioned and walked into the community.

Each of these two front legs weighed close to a hundred catties, even if the outer carapace was removed, the amount of meat inside would probably not be less.

When Chen Shouyi walked into the community with two huge silver and eye-catching forelimbs.

Many residents who were still surrounded by the giant black spider, who were about to get some leftovers, looked at it one after another.

Soon, someone recognized Chen Shouyi and whispered something, and everyone looked at him in gratitude or awe.

I don't know who started it, everyone immediately applauded.

Good job dude.

It's amazing!

...

Chen Shouyi couldn't help but pause, nodded to everyone with a tense face, and then walked quickly into the residential building where his house was located.

As soon as he walked inside, a smile could not be restrained from the corner of his mouth.

This feeling of being appreciated and respected is really great, and it makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

He walked briskly up the stairs, and after a while, he opened the door.

Mother Chen, who was coming out of the kitchen, was shocked when she saw that Chen Shouyi was holding two huge front legs: What are you holding?

This thing looked quite terrifying. The entire forefoot was covered with fine sawtooth, and the front end was as sharp as a spear. Coupled with the orange fluff all over its body, and its huge size, it was enough to make people daunting.

Insect's feet! Chen Shouyi said casually, and gently put them down on the floor, making a soft bang.

When Chen Xingyue heard the movement, she ran over quickly and said in surprise, Why is it this color, isn't it black?

Although Song Tingting was a little scared, she still walked over curiously, like a milk cat that just opened its eyes, looking left and right.

Black is the weakest. Silver ones are much more powerful than black ones. Chen Shouyi explained that even if ten black giant spiders surrounded him in all directions, they would not be as threatening to him as one silver giant spider.

Chen's mother finally understood what it was, glared at Chen Shouyi, and said sullenly, Why did you bring this thing in? These monsters must have eaten people!

Look what I'm doing, it's not that I want to eat, Chen Shouyi looked at Chen Xingyue innocently.

Chen Xingyue's complexion also turned a little bit bad. Only then did she realize that this monster might have eaten people. It was just that when she saw someone robbing the community earlier, she acted impulsively and didn't think too much about it. Nervously said: Then throw it away.

Chen Shouyi looked at his sister speechlessly, it was you who wanted to eat, and you were the one who didn't want to eat.

Women are trouble.

At this time, Chen Dawei said aloud: Throwing away is too wasteful, others are going to eat it, why don't we eat it, it's not bad luck, not to mention, it's just two legs!

As a chef, how could he let go of this new ingredient.

If you want to eat it, you will eat it, but I won't eat it anyway! Mother Chen said.

It's a good thing, it's all protein. Chen Dawei said with a chuckle, the war gradually subsided, and his depressed mood also relaxed: I guess the meat is similar to cicadas, and it will definitely taste delicious after frying it.

This thing is not easy to deal with, so it can only be done by Chen Shouyi. Chen Shouyi put the two front legs on the balcony, and then cut off the front legs with a sword, and then split them from the middle.

Everyone looked at Chen Shouyi on the balcony, their eyes fixed tightly, but no one could clearly see the shadow of the sword that Chen Shouyi swung. Even his arms looked quite blurry.

Chen's mother and Chen Dawei were only surprised for a while, at most they felt that their son was so powerful, that's all.

Only Chen Xingyue gritted his silver teeth secretly.

Are all fighters so powerful? I feel that I am still far behind. Maybe three or four years may not be enough to catch up with my brother.

Ten seconds later, Chen Shouyi cut off his forefoot one by one,

The muscles inside were dense and tough, criss-crossing. He put the sword aside, and then vigorously dug out the muscles stuck to the carapace one by one, and placed them on the washbasin next to it.

Two full washbasins were dug out.

After washing, the muscles look white and tender, with a slightly crystal luster, just like flawless jade.

Although he saw a stray dog ​​biting it, the meat shouldn't be poisonous, but the part was different. To be on the safe side, Chen Shouyi picked up a piece of meat, reminded his parents, and walked out the door.

Soon, they found a few stray dogs outside the giant silver spider that were still biting in vain.

Before they could escape, Chen Shouyi threw the meat far away.

One of the dogs glanced at Chen Shouyi, hesitated, ran over quickly, grabbed the piece of meat in one bite, and couldn't wait to swallow it.

Chen Shouyi squatted down on the side of the road and observed it for half an hour. Seeing that it was not only safe and sound, but seemed to have become more energetic, he finally felt relieved. If it was poisonous, it would have had an attack long ago, and it was still alive and kicking.

...

Today, dinner is quite rich.

The meat of the giant spider was completely fried by Chen Dawei.

After the tough meat was fried, it became soft and tender, exuding an extremely attractive aroma, and it was hard to hold back the tongue.

At first, Chen Shouyi and Chen Dawei were the only ones who ate, but soon Chen Xingyue couldn't help but took a piece after seeing how delicious the two were eating, so it got out of hand. Only Chen's mother and Song Tingting, avoiding their eyes, The chopsticks don't move.

...

Early the next morning.

Zhang Jingyi hurried over to visit Song Tingting.

After the two met, they hugged each other and cried excitedly. Seeing Song Tingting safe and sound, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help thanking her, and took out a wad of money, which Chen's mother must accept.

Chen's mother refused several times in a hurry before the other party took it back.

Then Zhang Jingyi proposed that their family would move out, and planned to move to the staff quarter of Steam Turbine Group where her husband Song Qiran lived. Now the status of Hedong Steam Turbine Group in Hedong City has risen sharply, and it has reached a strategic height. They live there It will undoubtedly be safer.

Song Tingting was completely dumbfounded: Mom, why do you live there?

Your father has been busy with work recently, day and night all day long. If I don't take care of him, I'm afraid he will collapse immediately. I can't leave you here alone. Zhang Jingyi said patiently.

It's okay for me to stay here alone.

Of course, this is just a thought in my heart, so I can't say it.

But, Mom, what should I do when I'm studying? Song Tingting thought about it, and suddenly found an excuse.

You can transfer to No. 2 High School, it's near the group, it's convenient to come back, and you can come back in the future.

...

In the end, Song Tingting still couldn't beat Zhang's mother.

When parting, Song Tingting hugged Chen Xingyue with moist eyes: Xingyue, I will miss you.

I'll miss you too! Chen Xingyue patted her on the shoulder and said.

Song Tingting let go of Chen Xingyue, and walked in front of Chen Shouyi with tears streaming down her face. She had already given up, opened her arms and hugged the dazed Chen Shouyi tightly, and whispered in her ear: Senior, don't forget me, I'll be back soon.

It didn't take long for Song Tingting and Zhang Jingyi to leave with simple luggage. They kept crying as they left, and the tears were clearly scattered all over the ground.

Chen Shouyi watched the two of them go down the stairs blankly, feeling as if there was a void in his heart.

Brother, Song Tingting seems to like you. Chen Xingyue said.

Feeling the girl's tears on his shoulder, Chen Shouyi sighed, how could he not know: Let's go!

...

Order in Hedong City began to gradually restore, and soldiers took to the streets again.

At the same time, a large number of recruitment notices were posted all over the gates and walls of the community, and most of the recruits this time were construction workers.

In the middle of an intersection not far from the community, an octagonal building has been built with two floors overnight. The workers mentioned that a post will be built here.

This invasion of giant spiders made Hedong City tense. After the mutation, the previously perfect defense became full of loopholes. A new city defense system is obviously imperative.

...

At noon, 12 steam tanks and 80 steam trucks loaded with soldiers or loaded with artillery lined up in a row and paraded around the streets of the lower city, attracting the cheers of countless citizens .

Chen Shouyi's family also went over to watch. This kind of scene was really exciting, and even Chen Shouyi couldn't help but cheer for it.

However, this is estimated to be the most mobile force that can be used in Hedong City. For today's human beings, the next few months will undoubtedly be the most vulnerable period.
