Dawn of a New Era

As time passed for several days, the number of refugees stranded in the safe zone did not decrease, but gradually increased. The entire safe zone was full of refugees waiting to be resettled and recruited.

Although the entire safety zone is under construction, and a new factory is added every few days, there are too many monks and too little porridge.

The end of the war did not improve the situation in Hedong City, but continued to deteriorate.

But for Chen Shouyi, life had completely calmed down.

After practicing archery all night for several consecutive nights, he has completely corrected the original rough archery movements, and now all that is left is repeated practice, and he is constantly proficient in increasing the rate of fire.

However, this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.

Today he doesn't plan to go out again, he is going to rest for a day.

In the evening, after Chen Shouyi took a shower, he was half lying on the bed wearing a thin underwear, holding a book of basic customs of barbarian tribes in another world, and slowly flipping through them.

The barbarian tribes are different in size, different regions, and the degree of civilization is also slightly different.

Like some small tribes, those with backward civilization are comparable to ape-man, living on hunting and gathering, and have basically not developed material civilization.

However, large tribes, especially those that believe in gods, tend to have a relatively high degree of civilization. To some extent, the existence of gods has promoted the development of civilization.

Some civilizations can even be compared to the Shang and Zhou dynasties of the Great Xia Kingdom. They no longer focused on hunting and gathering. They had developed animal husbandry and farming, learned to weave and make utensils, and built buildings, and formed the prototype of the country.

The barbarians who invaded Hedong City before obviously belonged to this kind.

As for whether there is a more developed civilization, humans have not yet discovered it, but the author of the book is also optimistic about it. Although the existence of mysterious power seriously hinders the development of productivity, the application and development of extraordinary abilities, Maybe we can walk out another brilliant path that is different from human beings.

...

The shell goddess next to him played with the crystal ball lazily for a while, glanced at the giant lying next to him, grabbed his clothes, turned over and climbed to his abdomen, and jumped vigorously to show his dissatisfaction: Good giant, are you really not going out today?

Don't go out, take a day off!

Why do you need to rest, I'm not tired at all! Shell Girl said loudly dissatisfied.

Chen Shouyi glanced at the Shell Girl who was full of desire and dissatisfaction. You have been sitting on my shoulder, and at most you can only yell a few words. Of course you are not tired. I am the one who is tired. You know how to pull a strong bow for hours , how hard is it?

If it weren't for my own natural healing, every slight muscle injury would heal quickly, and the arm muscles would be broken.

Hey, let's go tomorrow! Chen Shouyi comforted.

No! I'm not good! I'm going to kill bad mice, I'm going to kill big vicious birds. Shell girl bounced on his belly in dissatisfaction.

I killed it! You didn't kill any of them. Chen Shouyi corrected seriously.

Shell Girl's face was suffocated, and she said quickly: But I discovered that.

Did you find it useful? Can you kill a mouse? Chen Shouyi cast a sidelong glance at Shell girl's small body, which was only fourteen or five centimeters high, and said contemptuously.

Shell girl's face turned red when she heard the words, she hesitated for a long time, then turned her head away, and said angrily, Bad giant, I ignore you!

As he spoke, he jumped vigorously on his stomach angrily.

Chen Shouyi glanced at the little one, and smiled evilly. Taking advantage of the moment she jumped down, her abdomen shrank and bulged wickedly, and Shell girl's body was immediately bounced high, screaming in fright, but soon she became excited stand up.

It's so fun, the giant is coming again!

Chen Shouyi snorted, and as soon as she landed on his abdomen, his abdomen bulged again, like playing on a trampoline, and Shell girl screamed again, bouncing high like a spring.

Good giant, I want to be taller, the higher the better.

Okay! Chen Shouyi said simply.

This time he used more force, his abdomen bulged, and when Shell Girl flew out like an arrow off the string,

Chen Shouyi immediately felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, Shell Girl hit the ceiling with a slight muffled sound, and she let out a cry of pain, falling straight down like a shot sparrow.

A trace of sweat broke out on Chen Shouyi's forehead, and he quickly reached out to grab her and put it on the palm of his hand.

Are you okay? Chen Shouyi asked with a dry smile.

Shell girl covered her head, tears of pain swirled in her eyes, her mouth was deflated, and she soon let out a wail, crying loudly with grievance:

Bad... giant, I made me... hurt like hell, it's no fun at all.

Okay, okay, it's my fault! Chen Shouyi knew he was wrong, and apologized resolutely.

Shell Girl sobbed aggrievedly, Then...I want...a reward!

Okay, no problem! Chen Shouyi agreed.

I want a big gem! Shell Girl immediately wiped her tears when she heard the words, the magic stopped, and she said loudly with red eyes.

Can!

I want one by one... one by one! Shell Girl said a series of one after another.

Chen Shouyi didn't even bother to count. Are you a fan of porcelain?

Only one! Chen Shouyi resolutely refused. This hole cannot be opened. If there are too many, the value will be depreciated.

Shell girl burst into tears, and she was about to start crying again.

Two, I can only give you two! Chen Shouyi said quickly.

Shell Girl smiled happily when she heard the words, all tears and pain were completely forgotten by her at this time, she excitedly jumped a few times on his abdomen, and said loudly: What a giant, let's play this kind of game again.

Stop playing, go play by yourself. Chen Shouyi quickly refused.

I can't afford it, if I meet again, I will go bankrupt, Chen Shouyi cursed in his heart.

...

Early the next morning, after Chen Shouyi finished washing, he went to the living room and found Bai Xiaoling coming.

Here is your salary slip for this month.

Is the salary finally paid? A gleam of joy flashed in his heart. His last month's salary has long been used up, and he only has more than 2,000 yuan left. These days are very tight, and even the arrows shot during archery practice, if they can be retrieved, must be recovered one by one. , no longer dare to squander.

After taking it, Chen Shouyi glanced at it, and found that there were 5.65 million yuan, of which 650,000 yuan was the national, provincial, and municipal allowance and salary for warriors, and the other 5 million yuan was the mission bonus.

He was thoughtful: The amount of this bonus is huge, obviously it is the compensation for recruiting a few days ago.

The money has been transferred to the passbook, and you can go to the New City Bank in the safe zone to withdraw it at any time! Bai Xiaoling said, envious in her heart, her monthly salary is not even a fraction of his!

Not even a tenth of a fraction!

Chen Shouyi knew about New City Bank, which was the only bank recently opened by the city government, and it only served the safe zone. Unfortunately, the people had already been frightened, and no one dared to make deposits.

Chen Shouyi was also worried, and kept the cash at home for safety.

There is another item, and you need to confirm and sign for it! Bai Xiaoling continued, and then handed over an aluminum alloy suitcase, a document and a pen.

Chen Shouyi took the suitcase with some doubts, tore off the seal on it, opened it, and found that there were twenty 30ml transparent reagents inside. Looking at these faintly fluorescent reagents, he already had some guesses in his mind. He picked up the item manual and glanced at it.

Sure enough, I secretly said in my heart!

Inside are ten spirit medicines and ten spirit medicines.

Chen Shouyi locked the suitcase, took a glance at the receipt document, and confirmed, Do you have to sign it?

must!

It's really troublesome! Chen Shouyi murmured to himself in a low voice, so he picked up the pen helplessly, thought for a while and controlled his muscles to sign his name stroke by stroke.

Bai Xiaoling glanced secretly, and found that every stroke of his handwriting looked like it was printed out.
