Chapter 79 Prelude to Cataclysm(1/2)
[Exclusively published by Jinjiang Literature City]
At twelve o'clock at midnight, when she looked out of the window of the Star House, the city below the building felt a little strange to her.
It took her a while to remember the situation in her native world at this moment.
It has been raining intermittently for more than ten days. It is obviously December, but the weather is as hot as early summer.
Bridges located on the same river have all suffered varying degrees of damage due to the influence of vegetation.
Animals all over the planet have undergone various strange changes, large and small. Just this morning, the city was invaded by retrograde migratory birds...
You Xi sorted out the current situation bit by bit, and since she couldn't sleep for a while anyway, she started to sort out the supplies. She moved the perishable items that had been temporarily stored in the Star House and needed to be kept fresh back into the Star House warehouse, and then moved all the items that were not stored in the Star House warehouse.
Take out other items that will break, and then store similar types of items together.
After sorting it out, she looked at the almost full Star House warehouse and half of the Star House occupied by various items, and felt that she probably didn’t need to stock up on anything for the time being...
Well, the aluminum alloy shelves still have a lot of empty space, so we can add some odds and ends. Everything is based on the purchase criteria of things that will not appear in a short time after the apocalypse but that the three of them like very much.
For example: milk tea, braised vegetables, health products...
Because of her experience in joining the army, she discovered that she can also stock up on cigarettes in moderation, which can be used to gather information under certain circumstances.
She had thought about fruit and vegetable seeds, but these plantings required cultivation conditions, and their family knew nothing about them. What's more, seeds were not rare items, and they were light and easy to carry. It was impossible for someone who really knew how to grow these to have no inventory.
Moreover, for these things that are related to people's livelihood, the state will only store them more intensively than individuals, and she does not need to worry about it. Just like her father said, don't underestimate the state machinery. She knows all the abnormal changes these days.
The country knows it, but she may not know what the country knows.
Her personal power is far smaller than she imagined. The only thing she can do is to take care of her small family when the end of the world comes, and the rest - do what she can.
After that, You Xi opened the Star House Mall, with a balance of 436 star coins.
The star coins after this mission can allow her to directly upgrade the star house for the second time.
But in this case, the remaining star coins will not be enough to buy her two [powerful anti-sugar pills] for her parents, and their physical fitness will not be improved before the next apocalyptic mission.
She felt uneasy if she was asked to wait another month.
After weighing the pros and cons, she finally decided to guarantor first.
She purchased three [Powerful Anti-sugar Pills] and took one immediately, improving her physical fitness by another fifty percent.
After experiencing the apocalypse of the meteorite, she estimated that her physical fitness was about 250 units, and taking another [powerful anti-sugar pill] would increase it to about 375 units.
This is already quite astonishing data. In other words, her current speed and strength are almost four times that of ordinary people. She feels that she has made a qualitative breakthrough in her hearing, vision, jumping ability and even physical strength.
In order to verify her guess, she took out a dagger, controlled the force, and slashed the back of her hand with the strength of a normal person.
The blade made a white mark without any wound.
You Xi:......!!
Her feeling is right! There is no way to hurt her with ordinary sharp blades and normal human strength!
You Xi, who has always relied on the improvement of speed and power to travel through the apocalypse with high-damage tools such as [High Temperature Perfume] and [Air Hair Dryer], knows very well that his biggest weakness is his poor defense.
However, the Star House Mall has never produced new defensive star tools, so she can only conduct physical training every day, constantly learning and practicing different martial arts skills to improve her body's strength.
But now, this situation has finally changed.
You Xi felt a little excited inside, and tried to use the dagger to slash the back of her hand again with increased strength. Finally, when she let go of all her strength and slashed the back of her hand, she felt pain, and her skin was cut with a shallow cut by the blade.
She put away the dagger and wiped away the wound with [Repairing Foundation].
She reopened the Star House Mall and planned to buy four more [Powerful Anti-sugar Pills] to more than triple her parents' physical strength.
But the system made a sound at the right time.
[It is not recommended that the host increase the physical fitness of ordinary people by more than three times at one time. If the strength and speed increase too fast, ordinary people will feel uncomfortable and may easily hurt others. It is recommended to proceed step by step. 】
"I understand, let's take one for now."
You Xi checked the balance before closing the Star House Mall, and there were 376 star coins left.
Her eyes flickered over the prices of ice control skills, werewolf blood, and plant affinity. If her guess was correct, these three skills could deal with water, animals, and plants, and they all seemed to be useful in the coming apocalypse.
.
But this is just a guess, and we still don’t know which direction the end of the world will take.
So she decided not to buy it for the time being, and would choose the most advantageous option after the actual situation happened.
This is probably the sorrow of the poor...
The next day, when You Feng and Fan Qi got up and went downstairs, they found that their daughter had gotten up early and had made breakfast.
Fan Qi didn't know that in just one night, a long year and a half had passed for You Xi.
She was still immersed in yesterday's incident of migratory birds retrograde. She had been watching videos and news all night, and also saw that many people on the Internet had begun to summarize some recent abnormal events.
The eschatology that was mentioned before was mentioned again. Starting from the huge earthquake that affected their country in October, various disasters and abnormal events were detailed.
There is a summary video that lasts for more than an hour, editing multiple photos and videos, and adding narration to explain, including tornadoes, winter heat, bridge collapse, and migratory birds retrograde.
That video became more and more popular among Fan Qi, but at the end, the owner of the summary video said in a relaxed tone that everything was just nonsense. He also said that there are all kinds of natural and man-made disasters in any era, but the idea of the end of the world
It has never been reliable. I hope everyone will not believe or spread rumors and work hard and live a good life.
Fan Qi:……
Fan Qi, who had been watching the video until early in the morning, was speechless. When she sat at the dining table, she complained to her husband and daughter, and You Feng laughed a few times, saying that if it was really a serious eschatological video, it would have been blocked long ago, something like this
Only clickbait videos can exist.
You Xi listened without saying a word. He placed two glasses of water in front of the two of them and handed over a few health supplements respectively. Among them were the calcium tablets You Feng had purchased before, the deep-sea fish oil brought back by the meteorite world from Peninsula A, and the
There is a [powerful anti-sugar pill].
She said that the health products at home will expire if they are not taken, and starting from today she will supervise the two of them to take them on time every day.
Fan Qi and You Feng also took calcium tablets, fish oil, vitamins and the like before, but it was easy to forget them over time. Today, their daughter reminded them and they naturally took them.
You Xi watched the two of them swallow the [Powerful Anti-sugar Pills] and felt a little relieved.
The effect of [Powerful Anti-sugar Pills] was quickly apparent. When the bottled water on the water dispenser at home was finished that day, Fan Qi was going to drag a new bucket out of the storage room and put it next to the water dispenser, hoping to wait for You Feng to come back.
Let him change it.
As a result, she just exerted her strength and found that the bottled water that had taken a lot of effort to move in the past actually moved with little effort.
After that, Fan Qi dragged and lifted the water and changed the water in one go. She stood there and waved her arms twice, feeling like a new baby. You Xi, who originally wanted to help, watched the whole process quietly, and took Fan Qi to do some simple physical training in the afternoon.
You Feng noticed the changes in himself a few days later.
That day, several glazing masters came to the door with custom-made glass and spent a whole day adding a layer to all the glass in their home.
The other party worked neatly, and before leaving, he helped them clean a little around the windows and bagged all the garbage for taking away.
Fan Qi thanked the other party and ordered takeout from a nearby Sichuan restaurant and ordered a lot of dishes. The other party was too embarrassed to eat at their house, so Fan Qi let the other party take away the packaged food and rice.
Because there were a lot of dishes ordered, there were still a lot of dishes after the chef took them away, so Fan Qi didn't cook that night. After You Feng came back, the family of three started eating directly.
As a result, halfway through the meal, an "uninvited guest" came to the door.
The visitor is Zhao Hua, the husband of You Li, the third eldest son of the You family. He took the mistress to check out a house and was caught by You Li. It also made it into the local social news and caused a big fuss.
You Feng was very angry at You Li's ungrateful behavior of knocking over a boat of people with a pole, but he was even more angry at Zhao Hua. He didn't even let him in through the door and asked him what he had to say directly.
As a result, Zhao Hua actually came to see You Li, telling her that there was someone outside, and he also took away several bankbook cards from home. He had not been seen for several days, and even Zhao Xuefei did not come home.
He has already gone to Mr. You's place, and now the only place left is here. Seeing that he was not allowed to enter, Zhao Hua decided that the person was here, and asked him not to protect his sister, and quickly let him go in to find the person.
It means that the bankbook is the joint property of both husband and wife. Even if he is the fault party in the divorce, it is impossible for all the savings to be given to her, let alone the two of them have not divorced yet!
As he spoke, the other party wanted to rush in, but was grabbed by You Feng. He thought he didn't use much force, so he only gave him a slight shake, but the other party was pushed out of the door and thrown against the wall across the corridor.
You Feng was stunned, and Zhao Hua was stunned. Although he knew that You Feng was not an honest person who was easy to talk to, but because he was thin and had a gentle appearance, he did not look like the kind of strong and powerful man, so he had a strong body.
Zhao Hua had never taken You Feng seriously, always thinking that he would definitely win even in a fight.
Unexpectedly, during this conflict, they discovered that the other party was so powerful.
"Ask what you did. Why did your wife and children disappear? You tore apart our good home, and now you come to my place to act wild! So what if you take the bankbook? Since you haven't divorced yet, she can take it if she wants.
You can use it all! If I'm not here, get out of here!" You Feng was very disgusted with him and didn't want to talk to him at all.
The elevator opened on the side, and the security guard who was notified by Fan Qi rushed up and asked people to leave.
Fan Qi was equally rude and told the security guard to take a good look at the other person's face, saying that he should not let him enter the elevator or go upstairs if he saw him next time, not even let him enter the lobby.
After Zhao Hua left, You Feng closed the door but hesitated to speak: "Did you two just see that?"
"What did you see?" You Xi pretended to be confused.
You Feng frowned and looked at his hands: "Forget it, it's nothing..."
After the meal, You Feng called You Li, but as expected, she was hung up on.
You Feng had nothing to say to this willful little girl, so he directly sent him a WeChat message and told him that Zhao Hua came to look for someone today.
Half an hour later, Youli replied. There was no text or voice, only a photo. It was a photo of her wearing a beach skirt and Zhao Xuefei sitting on the beach watching the sunset. There was also a photo of a strange middle-aged man in the mirror.
Face.
