Dawn of a New Era

The small city within the safety has already begun to level the ground.

Wherever Chen Shouyi looked, there were densely packed workers everywhere.

Many of these workers are potbellied, and they don't seem to have worked as coolies at first glance. These people are basically refugees who migrated here recently.

Since the mutation, the unemployment rate has remained high, and only in the newly established safe zone can the employment rate reach the level before the mutation.

Excluding the safety zone, in the entire Hedong City, only one or two out of ten people can find a job. Most of the people are unemployed and can only go to relief stations to make a living.

Do you want to say that the city government has money now?

That was definitely rich, quite rich.

Since the bank was unable to operate normally, a huge amount of funds have been piled up in the bank, and then it was kept by the city government. If the money is evenly distributed to the public, I am afraid that each person can get one or two million.

Yet no reasonable person in power would do that.

Money is essentially a contract between the owner and the market regarding the right to exchange. It is basically an agreement between owners. If the essence of currency is stripped away, money is just a piece of paper, which is worthless except for its beauty. .

Under the current situation, the supply of materials in the market is in short supply. Once the huge amount of currency is evenly distributed to the people, the first thing for all the people is probably to buy a large amount of food and other materials and hoard them like hamsters for the winter.

The result is market inflation, currency devaluation, and skyrocketing prices.

The whole society will only become more chaotic.

Today's prices are relatively stable, and the market supply is stable, thanks to the fact that the people do not have much cash in their hands. Even if they were rich before, they would not have too much cash plus gold and other hedging items.

Chen Shouyi put the bicycle in the garage and pulled down the iron sliding door.

He walked into the living room with a heavy arrow bag, and Chen Xingyue came over curiously:

Bro, what did you buy?

It's nothing, arrows! Chen Shouyi raised his arrow bag as a signal.

How much did you buy for such a big bag? Chen Xingyue asked.

More than six hundred sticks!

Chen Xingyue opened her mouth in shock when she heard the words, and immediately hugged Chen Shouyi's arm, and said coquettishly in an unprecedentedly sweet voice, Brother, you are the best, give me some!

Stop, can you talk to me, you don't even have a bow, what do you need arrows for? Chen Shouyi's goosebumps stood up when he heard it, and he said hastily.

Chen Xingyue blinked, and continued to coquettishly said: Brother, don't you still have a bow, you don't need it anymore, can you give it to me?

Then he added: You have never given me a gift since you were a child!

When Chen Shouyi heard the words, there was no embarrassment on his face.

It's as if you gave it to me.

He cursed in his heart.

All right, all right, isn't it just a broken bow, here you go! Chen Shouyi said,

He originally planned to wait a few days for this month's salary to buy a female warrior bow for his sister.

Now that my sister is so frugal and sensible, it is obviously unnecessary.

Because men have a natural advantage in strength, the standards for female warriors and male warriors are different. The standard for a male warrior-level war bow is 500 pounds, while women only need 400 pounds.

Five hundred pounds may be a bit heavy for my younger sister who barely has the physical fitness of a warrior, but it's not for actual combat. It's completely fine for daily practice. If you pull it a few times at most, your arms will become sore.

Brother, you are so kind!

Seeing his younger sister bouncing around with her arms in his arms, with an excited expression on his face, Chen Shouyi swallowed the cruel truth that he wanted to say.

Forget it, it's better not to irritate him, just keep her in the dark.

After all, as an older brother, one still needs to have the mind and spirit of an older brother.

Wait a minute, I'll bring it for you! Chen Shouyi put down the arrow bag, walked to the bedroom on the second floor, and brought a bow bag.

Chen Xingyue couldn't wait to open the zipper of the bow bag,

It didn't take long for the bow to be assembled.

This kind of warrior-level war bow has always been durable and adaptable to various battlefield environments. Even though Chen Shouyi didn't maintain much at all, it still looked like new.

The more Chen Xingyue looked at it, the more delighted she became, and said excitedly, What about arrows, give me an arrow.

Seeing Lie Xinxi's younger sister, Chen Shouyi was speechless. He took out one from his arrow bag and handed it over, reminding him, Be careful, don't let go. If you shoot it against the wall, you will be in trouble. You will definitely die when the time comes. Get scolded.

Hearing this, Chen Xingyue thought to herself, you are the one who caused destruction at home every time since she was a child, so I don't want to talk about you anymore.

Once playing with fire in the room, almost set the whole house on fire.

But I can only think about this in my heart, and I must not dare to say it at this time, if her brother becomes angry after hearing this, and withdraws his war bow stingily, it will be bad.

She said softly, Don't worry, I'm not a beginner!

One of the Martial Artist Apprentice Examinations was the archery assessment. In terms of it, Chen Xingyue had spent much longer learning archery than Chen Shouyi.

I saw Chen Xingyue pulling the bowstring forcefully with a standard technique, a few blue veins protruding faintly on her fair and slender neck, her face flushed from suffocation, and then she slowly loosened it.

Chen Shouyi estimated that with her strength and physical strength, she could pull six or seven times, which would have reached her limit.

Seeing that she could hold on, Chen Shouyi ignored her. He counted fifty ordinary arrows from his quiver, picked up the quiver, and prepared to go back to the bedroom: Practice slowly by yourself. I'll give you fifty arrows. If it’s not enough, ask me again.”

Brother, you are the best, thank you brother.

I've used this war bow for a long time... Chen Shouyi said, before he was interrupted by his sister.

Brother, don't worry, I know, this is your first war bow, I will take good care of it.

Chen Shouyi stood where he was, opened his mouth, and swallowed the next sentence, You can do whatever you want.

...

Chen Shouyi returned to the bedroom, put away the arrow bag, took out an armor-piercing arrow, and groped for the sharp arrow with his fingers.

Armor-piercing arrows are much heavier than ordinary arrows, and the density of tungsten is higher than that of gold. Of course, the arrowhead is not pure tungsten, but tungsten steel, but the density is twice that of ordinary steel. The entire arrowhead weighs a pound, streamlined And the sharp arrows are dark in color and gleaming with cold light, showing terrifying penetrating ability.

Using 800 pounds to carry such a heavy arrow, at close range, the power is estimated to be far greater than that of an anti-material sniper rifle, and the armor of a military armored vehicle can be easily shot through.

He looked itchy, and couldn't help but wanted to try it out, but when he saw the surrounding environment, he tried his best to restrain himself.

Not urgent!

Or wait until night to test.

Chen Shouyi played with it for a while, put the arrow on the desk, and planned to practice the thirty-six exercises several times before dinner to move his body.

However, just as he made a gesture, the sound of cannons came from afar again, his heart skipped a beat, and he stopped immediately. First it was a relatively crisp anti-aircraft gun, and soon it turned into a heavy gun that was as heavy as a thunderbolt.

With one stride, he walked to the window and quickly opened the curtains.

Now his eyesight is quite good, and he can only see the distant sky, the black smoke formed by countless anti-aircraft guns exploding in the air, which has not completely dissipated, suspended in the air like shadows.

It lasted for two or three minutes, and then all the cannons stopped abruptly.

But Chen Shouyi not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more and more uneasy.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the gunfire sounded again, this time it became more intensive, and the sound seemed to be closer.
