Dawn of a New Era

More than an hour later, Chen Shouyi got off the train and walked into a taxi.

Chen Shouyi found out that the martial law in Dongning was over. Apart from the fact that there were more police patrolling the streets, there were no soldiers to be seen on the roads.

But the market is still as depressed as ever.

The long-term power outage caused business to wither, factories to shut down, and a large number of citizens to lose their jobs, which greatly affected the economic vitality of Dongning City.

Every pedestrian's face seems to have a gloomy look, and there are beggars everywhere on the road. A few plastic bags are constantly flying with the wind, giving people a desolate atmosphere.

Chen Shouyi looked away and closed his eyes to rest.

I can't help but feel a little heavy in my heart.

Dongning City is just a microcosm of the whole country. Except for those first- and second-tier cities, which have maintained abnormal prosperity under the siphon effect of resource inclination, most of the other areas may be like this for as long as one or two years.

...

He got off at the hotel where he used to live. After paying the money, he took the luggage from the trunk of the taxi, looked at the door of the hotel, and deliberately posted the words "There is electricity" on it, and walked into the hotel.

The pretty lady at the front desk of the hotel couldn't help but her eyes lit up when she saw Chen Shouyi:

"Little handsome guy, you are finally here, your courier has already arrived."

"Oh, you remember me?" Chen Shouyi said in surprise.

In fact, more than a month has passed, and he has long since given up hope for this express delivery. The reason why he chose this hotel is because it is closer to the space passage.

"For the handsome guy, I have always had a good memory!" The receptionist said with a smile, "I've been watching your delivery for you."

"Thank you so much. I'll book a single room for two days."

"The house price is 150, and the deposit is 100." The front desk said.

"So cheap?" Chen Shouyi asked.

"Yeah, it's a pity that there are not many people living there!" Speaking of this, the fat face of the baby at the front desk said a little sadly. Now even her salary has shrunk by half. If it weren't for the help from her parents from time to time, she wouldn't be able to survive. down.

...

Chen Shouyi took the package and walked into the room.

Immediately, the tape was torn off by hand and the package was opened.

There are seven bundles of arrows stacked inside, one hundred speed arrows, twenty spinning arrows, and ten whistle arrows.

This time, he only brought a war bow and sword with him. As for arrows, he needs more. He originally planned to buy them at Dongning's local cold weapon shop, but now it's easy.

He had already accepted the exploration mission, and waited for dawn in the other world.

But before he came, he adjusted the time. Chen Shouyi looked at his watch, and there was about an hour left.

He took the briefcase and walked out of the hotel, ready to buy food.

It didn't take long to come to a large supermarket nearby. The goods in the supermarket were sufficient, but the people were sparsely sparse.

He bought two roast ducks, five catties of cooked beef, three catties of sauced pork knuckle, five compressed biscuits and two large bottles of mineral water.

After thinking about it, it should be enough. He has a huge appetite now, so many things are enough for three meals.

Next, he bought a large suitcase in the supermarket.

After returning to the hotel, he simply stuffed everything into the suitcase.

After everything was ready, he didn't stay long, and went straight to the wormhole in Dongning City.

...

"Military important place, idlers are not allowed to enter!"

Chen Shouyi took out an exploration card, a soldier checked it, and let it go immediately.

Walking into the high wall, the original location of the unfinished building has been replaced by a giant cylindrical building with a diameter of about 30 meters and a height of more than 20 meters. A large number of artillery and machine guns placed in the post are firmly blocked This space channel.

The documents were checked three times in a row along the way, and then there was no problem.

Opening a thick iron door, he came to the passage smoothly.

Compared with the previous open-air space passage in the parking lot, the reinforced concrete that has been built around it now, in terms of thickness, Chen Shouyi estimated that it would be difficult for even heavy artillery to blow it down for a while.

Looking at the passage that is close at hand,

He took a deep breath and stepped into it without hesitation.

With a burst of space transformation.

The next moment, a long-lost feeling rose from his heart.

The natural ability of the body is completely recovered.

He felt that his natural ability to control the wind had become much stronger unconsciously.

Wisps of light wind, like a tame elf, lingers around meekly, with clothes fluttering all over her body and hair fluttering.

Unfortunately, this ability is only available in another world.

If it were on Earth, they would be people with their own style on stage, with different styles.

After Chen Shouyi played for a while, he immediately got down to business.

He took the suitcase and walked quickly towards the beach.

Chen Shouyi found that this place seemed to have been initially explored, and he saw a lot of new footprints on the ground.

This is not surprising. The number of warriors in the military may be extremely tight, but there are many warrior apprentices. A company-level garrison definitely has the strength to initially explore an unknown space passage.

Several canoes were still far away, unused at all.

The only thing that gave Chen Shouyi a headache was that it had obviously rained here these days, and there was a lot of rain on the canoe.

What a hassle!

Chen Shouyi untied the rope of the canoe, then took off his pants, and jumped into the canoe, dripping with sea water.

Put the suitcase on the bow, and prepare to solve the waterlogging of the kayak first.

He didn't expect this to happen before, and he didn't bring any handy tools. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to cut one of the large bottles of mineral water in half and scoop the water honestly.

After working for a full hour, he finally emptied the water in the canoe.

Then, he let Shell Girl out.

Shell girl woke up a long time ago, and came to another world again, she was so excited:

"hurry up!"

As soon as she was released, she immediately flew up, and she flew around excitedly, and then she flew farther and farther, higher and higher.

This was his first time in another world, and he didn't tie up Shell girl again.

"Don't fly too far!" Chen Shouyi quickly stood up and shouted.

But it was obviously useless to the excited Shell girl, she soon turned into an insignificant dot, and after a while, even a small dot disappeared.

"It's so skinny!" Chen Shouyi shook his head speechlessly, his face was still quite calm, confident that after Shell girl had had enough flying, he would return obediently soon.

But five minutes later, Shell Girl still didn't come back. His confidence began to falter, and he felt a little uncertain.

Don't you even want to watch it?

Don't want the big gems still in the backpack?

She wouldn't really take the opportunity to escape for freedom.

After ten minutes, he became anxious and kept looking at the sky, hoping to find Shell Girl.

Alas, I am still too soft-hearted.

Should have tied it up earlier.

He waited another ten minutes in agony, his heart was completely hopeless, his heart was empty, as if he had lost something.

"That's right. Gems are nothing compared to freedom. You can quit cartoons after a while!"

"Oh, it's fine to leave, and I don't have to lock her in a backpack to torture her in order to avoid being exposed in the future."

He comforted himself, but couldn't hide the disappointment on his face. He forced himself to take the oars and start rowing.

At this moment, he seemed to vaguely hear Shell Girl's voice, a trace of excitement surged in his heart, and he quickly looked up to the sky to search carefully, but he didn't see the slightest trace.

"Is there an illusion in my heart?"

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the voice to become clearer and clearer, as if it was coming from behind.

He hurriedly looked back, and saw a small figure holding a glass bead about the same size as her body, flying towards this direction, tens of meters away. Her body was ups and downs in the air, and her speed Slowly like a snail, several times, she almost fell into the sea water, and then flew up desperately with her face flushed.

From a distance, he kept shouting: "Huhu... giant, I still hide one by one, one by one... a gem on the island. Giant, quickly help me get the gem!"

Ten seconds later, she landed on Chen Shouyi's shoulder, tightly hugged the glass beads in her arms, and said out of breath, "I'm so exhausted!"
