Dawn of a New Era

There were figures running around outside the villa, and the workers who were originally leveling the ground were quickly dismissed.

The sound of artillery fire stopped and continued intermittently. The duration of each artillery sound was as short as half a minute and as long as three or four minutes. The interval time was also extremely short.

Sometimes he sat down on the bed, sometimes he stood up and walked back and forth.

My heart is full of uneasiness.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but listening to the intermittent cannon fire, he seemed to vaguely see that a terrifying existence was quickly tearing down the defenses of Hedong City, and was coming towards this side at a very fast speed.

His heart seemed to be covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, which made him a little out of breath.

At this moment, there was a loud knock on the door.

"Brother, brother! Open the door, open the door quickly!"

It was Chen Xingyue's voice.

Chen Shouyi came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and the anxiety on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by a calm and composed look.

He has now become the backbone of the family. Others can panic, but he cannot.

He went to open the door.

"Mom asked me to call you for dinner!" Chen Xingyue said, and then couldn't help but asked with anxiety in her heart, "Brother, are we going to be okay here?"

"Don't think about it, the safety zone is a key defense area, and it's not comparable to other places!" Chen Shouyi comforted.

With the mobilization of troops day and night these days, the outside of the safe zone has almost been set up as a solid wall. Chen Shouyi estimated that nearly half of the military forces in Hedong City have gathered here.

It's just that even so, he doesn't have much confidence in whether he can kill the terrifying existence that seems to be a barbarian.

...

During the meal, the atmosphere was oppressive, and everyone was silently thinking about their own affairs.

"How much rice do you have at home?" Mother Chen suddenly broke the silence and asked Chen Dawei.

"It should be more than five hundred catties! Don't worry, I will buy a bag every few days." Chen Dawei said, he cooks almost all the rice, and he knows how much rice there is.

With two big eaters around, the food consumption in the family is extremely fast. A bag of 50 catties of rice can be eaten in a few days. The consumption of rice alone would cost three to four thousand yuan a month. If it weren't for Chen Shouyi's salary And the subsidy is considerable. If it is an ordinary working family, I am afraid that the family can only drink the northwest wind and receive relief food.

"The cannons stopped again!" Chen Xingyue reminded at this time.

On the mechanical clock on the wall of the restaurant, the hands beat one by one.

Make a crisp and pleasant clicking sound.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and even eating slowed down. Everyone seemed to be waiting for the next cannonball to come.

But this time the interval was extraordinarily long, lasting more than ten minutes, even the dinner was finished, and there was no sound of cannonballs.

"Did he get killed?" Chen Xingyue asked with some hope.

Chen's father and Chen's mother couldn't help being slightly relieved when they heard the words.

"I knew it was fine. With so many troops and cannons, how could it be impossible to beat them? The rumors outside are too exaggerated." Mother Chen said.

However, as soon as the words fell, everyone felt the ground tremble.

At the same time, a loud "boom" came from a distance.

In just a few seconds, the sound of the guns became more and more intense, almost becoming one piece, and the dust on the ceiling began to shake off.

The sound of cannons so close is probably only the garrison troops outside the safe zone.

Listen to the earth-shattering loud noise outside.

Fear enveloped everyone's figure, thinking of the horror of the rumored barbarians, everyone felt more and more uneasy.

At this moment, Chen Shouyi said quickly, "Dad, Mom, Xingyue, you all go to the basement now."

In the current villa project, the basement is basically a standard configuration, with a space of hundreds of square meters. Now, except for one of the rooms, which is used as a storage room, most of them are idle.

"Brother, what about you?"

"I'll get the weapon and I'll be over soon," Chen Shouyi said.

"Then I'll get it too." Chen Xingyue said.

Chen Shouyi didn't speak, just ordered, walked out of the restaurant, and stepped up to the second floor in one quick step.

He opened the bedroom door,

He strode to the window, opened the curtains, and looked into the distance.

At this time, it was already five o'clock, and the sky had begun to darken. Through the window, the sky not far away was full of fire and gunpowder smoke. flight.

The front line of the war is only a dozen kilometers away from here. In this kind of war, this distance is almost in the battlefield.

It only takes a few minutes for him to reach the battlefield from here.

Long before taking the divine blood, his full sprint speed could reach 50 meters per second, but now he can reach nearly 100 meters per second.

Running speed depends on stride frequency, stride length and wind resistance. Needless to say, stride frequency is closely related to agility (response ability). With his agility seven times that of ordinary people, he even has the heart to wait for the other foot while running Landing time.

The stride is related to the strength of the legs, and his strength is enough to allow him to stride fifteen or sixteen meters in one step while running.

As for the factor of wind resistance, for a person like him who has the ability to control the wind, the influence is negligible.

Of course, the running speed does not mean that the higher the stride frequency, the faster it will be, nor is it that the larger the stride length, the faster it will be. The two are balanced and compromise with each other, and there is a maximum intermediate value.

Otherwise, Chen Shouyi's speed would not be more than ten times that of ordinary people, but fifty or sixty times (agility*strength)

Of course, this is the speed of a full-strength burst, and it will last for half a minute at most before being completely exhausted. But even at a normal running speed, for Chen Shouyi, it only took a few minutes to run a dozen kilometers, and it was not a matter of physical exertion at all.

...

Chen Shouyi took a look, then quickly closed the curtains, took out part of the arrows from the quiver, and put them one by one in three backpack-style quiveres, one of which was specially designed for armor-piercing arrows.

Then he unwound the war bow hanging on the wall.

A minute had passed since he was done with everything, and he returned to the window again. Gunpowder smoke filled the distance, and he could not see clearly at all.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the sound of the cannons outside seems to be a lot thinner, and it no longer has the previous density.

It turns out that this is no illusion.

As time went on, the sound of the guns became more and more sparse.

There was a knock on the bedroom door:

"Brother, Mom told you to go back to the basement." Chen Xingyue shouted at the door.

"I see. You go first, and I'll be right there." Chen Shouyi said.

"Then hurry up!"

Chen Xingyue left quickly, and Chen Shouyi stood absent-mindedly for a few more minutes before the cannonballs finally fell silent.

Deathly silence.

Chen Shouyi remained motionless as if petrified, his whole body stiffened.

It wasn't until Chen Xingyue's fierce knock on the door came again that he shivered and came back to his senses.

"I can't stay here anymore!"

He immediately took Shell Girl's briefcase and long sword, and opened the bedroom door.
