12 noon
In the chaotic East End
Although no one is allowed to enter or leave Zein at the moment, people are still able to travel freely in the city, causing chaos. The Equality Operations Department, independent mixed divisions, and guard corps that have not yet been reorganized are unable to make it in time.
Have lunch, race against time to maintain order, and stabilize the boiling city as quickly as possible.
"Everyone, please rest assured! The International Equality Alliance will ensure the supply of the most basic supplies! No one will be without food! The money in your hands will not become waste paper! If the price of food in any food store increases excessively, we will immediately
Handle it! Everyone is welcome to report it at any time!”
"For safety reasons, Laize has temporarily closed the entrance and exit, but it will be opened as soon as the situation stabilizes. Don't worry! If you have any special circumstances, you can always come to us for explanation! We will try our best to help everyone solve the problem!
"
"Many of your questions can actually be answered from the public notices posted on the street! The International Equality Alliance launched this revolution so that people can enjoy equal rights! No longer be oppressed! We will follow up through practical actions.
Prove it!"
Eye-catching notices were posted on every street, and soldiers patrolled to maintain order. There were also people from the Propaganda Department of the International Equality Alliance holding loudspeakers against the scorching sun to explain the situation over and over again to appease the people.
As for the public, a considerable number of people trust the Equality Association very much, which makes the comrades of the International Equality Alliance a lot easier when stabilizing the situation. However, at the same time, there are also some people who are deeply worried and do not easily trust the International Equality Alliance.
Guarantee, choose to hoard supplies crazily and purchase gold to protect your own interests.
When this group of people took to the streets to buy, panic began to spread rapidly. More and more people would rather spend twice or twice as much money to stock up on daily necessities than to trust others with their lives.
Thinking of this, he followed the leading group of people and surrounded him in front of the grain store.
The supplies were sold out in less than half an hour, and by the time they were sold out, the price had increased five to six times on average. Even with such a high price, it would be priceless in Laize Yin.
If you can't buy a bag of bread for a hundred gold grams, isn't it just a piece of waste paper?
Among the majority of the people who were unable to buy supplies, there were inevitably some people who went to extremes and chose to use violent means to snatch supplies from others, which further aggravated the chaos in Lezein.
The Independent Mixed Division Cavalry Regiment alone dealt with dozens of such riots in one morning.
In response to this situation, the International Equality Alliance urgently deployed manpower to establish contact with large and small grain stores, and transferred large quantities of grain from agricultural product trading companies that had purchased and stockpiled large quantities of grain earlier to ensure the original low price.
In the case of supply to the public.
Through the unity and cooperation of many parties, although small problems appeared one after another, fatal conflicts were nipped in the cradle.
"Are you hungry?" In front of a grain store on a street, the captain of the combat team responsible for maintaining order for people to purchase grain asked his subordinates.
"I'm hungry. I've been running around this morning. I'm so hungry that my chest is touching my back." The young comrade was so hungry that his eyes were dull.
"I told you to eat more in the morning and you don't want to eat it. Come on, take it." The team leader scolded the young comrade calmly, and then took out a bag from his pocket, "You can share these slices of bread with everyone."
Divide it one minute and keep at it, and you will probably have time to rest and eat in the afternoon."
The young comrade happily took it: "Well, what about you?"
"I ate till my throat was filled with food this morning, and I'm not hungry at all now. Go and share it quickly. Everyone is starving." The squad leader patted the young comrade on the shoulder, and then noticed that some of the people queuing up to buy food were because of this.
A quarrel broke out when he jumped in line, and it was about to turn into a fight. He rushed over and said, "Stop! Don't cut in line! No quarrels or fights! Don't worry, everyone! We have enough food! The price won't go up!"
The young comrade looked at the busy figure of the team leader, then looked at the pieces of bread in the bag, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Anthony, come here, you and other comrades share this bread, so as to satisfy your stomach first."
"Don't you want some?" Anthony took it.
"I almost ate to death this morning. I'm still not hungry. You guys eat." The young comrade resisted his hunger, pushed Anthony to leave, and then came to the squad leader to maintain order together.
"It's not good! Come and save people!"
"
At this time, a cry for help came from a shop near the grain store. The team leader who had just stopped the conflict between the two citizens immediately rushed over with his two comrades.
——
It was a feeling of familiarity, and Jiang Xu'an didn't know how to describe it exactly. It was like the tacit understanding of old friends, the silence that does not require words in the familiarity. He felt that he had a very important connection with this stone, which was the inner connection between him and him.
The connection built. They can know each other's inner thoughts, and the feeling of silence and familiarity is mixed.
A very abstract description.
Are you stupid? There is a soul resonance with a stone?
Jiang Xu'an muttered to himself, then showed an unspeakable smile. He stuffed the pendant into his pocket and said to Zhang Qiaochu: "Actually, that old man is quite good at lying."
…
The taxi app is really convenient. The two of them took the same car back to the city. The car first stopped at Zhang Qiaochu's community. After saying goodbye to Zhang Qiaochu, Jiang Xu'an continued to ride home.
It was about ten o'clock, and the road was busy with traffic, and the neon lights on the roadside were flashing. Through the car windows, you could hear the sound of car horns outside and the music playing in the surrounding stores. City people are used to living a life of feasting and feasting, but Jiang Xu'an is a
exception.
The driver stopped the car in front of a red light, humming an old song that was playing outside. He put his hands on the steering wheel and swayed slightly to the rhythm of the music.
Jiang Xu'an sat in the back seat, crossed his arms across his chest, and stared blankly out of the car window.
Zhang Qiaochu was still in the car just now. This man was already eloquent, and because he wanted to get the goddess’s mobile phone number, he excitedly chatted with the driver all over the world. After leaving, the two of them still had unfinished business. The car started again, and the driver continued
I glanced at Jiang Xu'an specifically and found that he had been silent, so he didn't say anything.
Taxi drivers can generally tell at a glance whether a passenger is a talkative person. If he likes to talk, the boring journey will be over. If he doesn't like to talk, he just shuts up and walks.
So after Zhang Qiaochu left, the car was very silent, so silent that it was a bit suffocating.
Jiang Xu'an didn't feel any discomfort. He liked such quiet moments.
Green light.
The car started and arrived at Jiang Xu'an's community a few minutes later.
The community where Jiang Xu'an lives is an old-fashioned community. It was bought by his parents when they got married, and it is about thirty years old. Recently, a lot of things have been built around it. The developer has taken a fancy to this land and has already planned to turn it into a new one.
The community was demolished and a large shopping mall was built.
Regarding the demolition, Jiang Xu'an accidentally heard from the aunt in the community. He himself has not paid any proactive attention to this aspect.
The main entrance of the community is always open, and the two security guards, an old man and a fat guy who is lazy and lazy, are basically useless. There are often thefts of lost electric cars in the community, so the problem must be partly caused by these two people.
Walking into the community, the cool summer night wind blew on his face, and Jiang Xu'an felt somewhat comfortable. He walked quickly and arrived home in a short while.
A room of about 80 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen, plus a small balcony. Jiang Xu'an went into the house, took off his clothes and put them on hangers, and walked into the study. He was the only one living in the house, and one bedroom was used for
For sleeping, the other room is used as a study.
There are two rows of bookshelves in the study room. One row is for famous books, which he has loved reading since he was a child. The other row is for professional books, books about spirituality. Jiang Xu'an works in a large mental hospital as an expert assistant.
, earning a monthly salary of around 3,000 yuan and living a boring life.
He took away the "Snow Kingdom" on the desk in the study and placed the pendant there. Under the light of the desk lamp, the scarlet lines on the black stone became more alluring.
Jiang Xu'an put on his glasses and looked at it carefully.
After a while he put it down because he couldn't see anything strange about it.
"Didi..." The minimalist cell phone ringtone rang. Jiang Xu'an picked up the phone from the table and answered the call, "What's wrong?"
"Hahahaha!" A deafening laughter came from the other end of the phone. Jiang Xu'an could even imagine Zhang Qiaochu with his hands on his hips and looking up to the sky with a smile, "Lao Jiang, do you know? Tingting called me!"
"Oh, isn't this normal?" Jiang Xu'an stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Zhang Qiaochu's joy was too strong, "This is our first phone call. She took the initiative to speak, and the first sentence she said was, Hi..."
Jiang Xu'an pressed speakerphone, put the phone aside, took out a sausage from the refrigerator, and took a bag of instant noodles from the side, started hot water, "Keep working hard."
"Yes, yes." Zhang Qiaochu said, "By the way, Lao Jiang, I mainly want to ask you, what gift should I give her when we go to class tomorrow?"
"We've just made a little progress, so we're in a hurry to give him a gift." Jiang Xu'an frowned. The only bad thing about this good friend of almost seven or eight years was his recklessness.
"Then what should I do?" Zhang Qiaochu asked Jiang Xu'an for advice.
Jiang Xu'an put the noodles and sausages into the hot water, turned on the faucet and started washing his hands, "I have never been in love, so I don't know much about this. You can ask others, or read books or movies about this."
"Okay, okay, then that's it." Zhang Qiaochu hung up the phone in a hurry.
The noodles were ready quickly. Jiang Xu'an finished the noodles and it was already half past ten. It was already quite late. If he hadn't gone to listen to the magic gun's lecture today, he could have gone home two hours earlier.
According to the normal arrangement, Jiang Xu'an will read a book or watch a movie at home during these two hours.
Fortunately, the magic stick only disrupted the rhythm of his day. He thought to himself not to attend such meaningless and absurd lectures in the future, so he put on his pajamas and fell asleep in the bedroom.
at the same time,
In the study room, the scarlet lines on the stone placed on the desk became more and more alluring and dazzling...
…
"Crack!"
The bitingly cold water splashed on Jiang Xu'an's face, causing him to wake up instantly. He immediately sat up and looked around with groggy eyes. This was a strange place.
Realizing that the situation was not good, he looked around in the bright moonlight. He was on a lonely black reef, and beyond the reef was an endless black ocean.
The sound of "swish, swish, swish" came from far to near, and finally huge waves crashed in, hitting the rocks and setting off waves.
The waves fell on the rocks and turned into pieces of black foam, and the air was filled with thick water vapor.
"Huh...huh...huh..." Jiang Xu'an, who was drenched by a huge wave of spray, stood there in a daze.
In front of him, huge waves hit one after another, and each wave seemed to swallow up this crumbling small rock.
The pajamas were completely soaked by the sea water, and the bone-chilling cold made Jiang Xu'an's body tremble, and cold air kept coming out of his mouth.
Jiang Xu'an stumbled and fell to his knees before he could stand. The reef was not flat, and the densely packed raised rocks directly scratched Jiang Xu'an's knees. He gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the trembling of his body.
"Woo..."
Suddenly a dull chirping sound came from the sky. The chirping sound was not loud. If you listen carefully, it seemed like the wail of an ancient giant beast.
Jiang Xu'an wiped his cheeks with his hands and forced himself to calm down. This didn't seem like a dream. The dream couldn't be so real. His senses were strongly impacted. This was definitely not a dream.
"Woo..." Like a mournful voice, it echoed melodiously between heaven and earth.
"Woo..." The mourning continued. This time Jiang Xu'an seemed to be able to find the source. The sound came from the sea under the monster.
Jiang Xu'an's mind went blank. Anyone who saw a monster like a mountain would lose the ability to think.
If possible, Jiang Xu'an is now willing to believe that he is in a dream.
The body of the tentacle monster is too huge. Fortunately, it has not moved, but its countless tentacles are moving. Otherwise, it can easily set off a huge wave that can engulf the reef.
Jiang Xu'an glanced at the injury on his knee and struggled to stand up. Suddenly, his body froze and his face became paler. He even stopped breathing, turned around slowly, and looked behind him.
"thump."
Jiang Xu'an's legs became weak and he fell on the rocks. He became short of breath. One word could be easily seen from his expression, fear.
Directly in front of him was a wriggling monster that was hard to guess how huge it was, somewhat like a squid or an octopus. This monster had countless thick and long tentacles on its body, and the tentacles were floating in the air. If you look up at the sky now, you can
They saw densely dancing tentacles in the sky. Only part of its body was exposed to the sea, and no one knew how huge its body was under the sea.
