Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 598 Infinite Flow Cannon Fodder (45)

When the mobile phone is connected to the Internet, the messages that pop up are all about various disasters, as if there is no peace in the whole country.

Looking at the relaxed and peaceful people in the small town and the carefree and laughing children around them, Shen Yao always felt that the world was somewhat divided.

The gap between online and offline is so huge, it’s no wonder that people are in a trance.

Shen Yao only occasionally goes online to learn about the outside world and rarely makes any comments.

As they stayed in the town longer and longer, many unfamiliar faces began to appear around them.

"Sister Shen, Sister Shen!"

He Jie hurried over and explained to Shen Yao in a panic that many people had moved into the town during this period, and without exception, they all moved from the coastal areas or high-economic zones.

"The coastal areas are well developed, and the high-economic zones have a large population," Shen Yao glanced at He Jie and pointed to the newly renovated house next door, "The price has doubled since we came here."

It turned out that the neighbor living here had other properties. When he heard that someone was willing to buy this old and dilapidated house at a high price, he happily transferred the ownership and sold it on the same day.

Shen Yao didn't know whether this person would regret it in the future. There were countless similar situations at the moment. Before the real disaster came, who could resist the temptation of money?

"Sister Shen, should we move to the countryside?" He Jie raised his hand and touched his chin.

"This is not much different from the countryside. Besides, we are not locals."

Shen Yao narrowed her eyes and thought that going to the countryside would mean having to face constant exclusion from local forces.

The countryside is simple and has the least regard for etiquette and rules. Once there is a shortage of resources, outsiders are the first to be robbed.

Shen Yao didn't want to make things more troublesome, so the countryside could only be the last backup option. If there were any new directions during this period, she would abandon them without hesitation.

He Jie opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Shen Yao must have her reasons for saying this. I can't help much, so I'd better just keep my head down and follow her instructions.

He Jie left gracefully, and Xu Hai followed closely after him.

Xu Hai didn't say anything about going to the countryside. He thought they could prepare first and spend their money as needed. What if the town was too crowded to accommodate them? What if the entire town had to move to the southwest?

Money will become a pile of digital waste paper in the end, so it is best to put it in your pocket while it is still useful.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao thanked Xu Hai for the reminder, and also asked him not to forget her.

"Hehe, I came here just thinking about what Sister Shen would buy, and I would buy the same thing."

The ultimate secret of clinging to someone powerful is not to act on your own and not to cause trouble.

There is a big guy who is kind enough to help you, so why waste your few brain cells?

Xu Hai scratched his head, with a silly smile on his face, without stopping to calculate the pros and cons in his mind.

After seeing Xu Hai off, Shen Yao turned around and started looking for a new residence online. She didn't need to have too high requirements in all aspects, after all, it was just a backup option.

"so much?"

Xu Ningchen was surprised because Shen Yao's phone was full of photos of her residence that she had carefully selected.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao pursed her lips a little embarrassedly and said, "The official location has not been determined yet." They can only cast a wide net and catch more fish. If they happen to find one, they can have a place to stay with the property certificate.

Xu Ningchen observed it through the screen of his mobile phone and selected a few to keep.

"When I was in contact with Brother Li and the others, I mentioned these places in conversation."

Maybe it's nothing special, but it's better to be prepared. Their money (funded by He Jie) is enough for the time being.

As long as it is enough, Shen Yao spent money without mercy. She also brought Xu Hai and He Jie together, and the four of them were tied together, forming a formal alliance.

The initiative of the alliance lies with Shen Yao, He Jie relies on his money, and Xu Hai relies on his cleverness. Both of them have proved with practical actions that their existence is useful.

"These people don't think of us when things are good, but now they come up to us and say nice things."

He Jie shook his phone and complained to Xu Hai about what the other members of the guild were thinking.

Xu Hai had long seen through the morals of his colleagues in the guild. The relationship between the two sides was more plastic than plastic. Not to mention sharing hardships, even sharing happiness required one to be on guard.

"Let them go. Those who stayed in Feng City regretted it now."

Xu Hai shrugged his shoulders. Things have changed. There is no use regretting. Now if he wants to come to their place from Feng City, there are neither planes nor trains. He has to drive himself.

"The roads are under control and they can't move without a pass. They can't get out."

He Jie felt that they took a big risk when they left Feng City.

However, the situations of both parties have been reversed now. The people who stayed in Feng City no longer have the filter of the territory token, and they suddenly feel that what they did in the first place was stupid.

"Let me be frank. No matter what they say, we cannot get involved."

Afraid that Xu Hai wouldn't figure it out and would get himself into trouble, He Jie simply spoke the truth.

Xu Hai snorted when he heard this, indicating that he was not a fool. Not to mention that Feng Shi and he were not of the same kind, even though he had come here with them in the beginning, they could not get along now.

He Jie raised his eyebrows, thinking that this guy may look silly, but he actually has a clear-headed view of things.

Not bad, not bad, a good partner, who can beat 90% of people without being a drag.

…………

"Xiao Shen, are you going out today?"

"Well, let's go to the market and have a look. I heard there are new vegetables available today."

"You should go check it out, otherwise you'll see radishes, cabbages and green beans everywhere."

"..."

After just a few words, Shen Yao had already walked out of the community.

The weather outside was getting colder, and everyone changed from long-sleeved shirts and long pants into thicker clothes.

Shen Yao was wearing casual clothes and a large hat on her head, and she was riding an electric bike on the road.

The vegetable market is in the center of the town. Since there are few main roads in the town, it only took a few minutes for the electric car to see the plaque of the vegetable market.

In addition to a group of vegetable vendors, there are also some middlemen who act as middlemen.

Shen Yao found a familiar vendor and started a conversation with him, and put some fresh vegetables on the pedal.

"These are newly grown eggplants and potatoes. Take them back and try them."

Sister Li, who sells vegetables, and Brother Li, who deals in building materials, are a couple. They have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and they work hard to support their family.

Shen Yao gets along pretty well with Sister Li because of Xu Ningchen, so every time she goes out to buy groceries, she would most likely choose Sister Li's place.

"Sister Li, these eggplants and potatoes are so juicy, they don't look like something that can be grown nowadays.

"The new varieties collected in the countryside are said to be free seeds distributed by the government. We must first pay the required number of kilograms, and then we can sell the rest."

After saying this, Sister Li winked proudly, saying that she was able to get so many goods thanks to her good relationship with the vegetable sellers. If she had an ordinary relationship with them, she would not have had this opportunity at all.

Shen Yao thanked Sister Li for her kindness. Having more varieties of vegetables would help her satisfy her appetite better.

After giving out the money, Shen Yao rode her electric bike back to her residence.

Xu Ningchen hadn't gone out today. When he saw Shen Yao coming back, he looked around curiously and saw some familiar yet unfamiliar vegetables.

"Improved breed?"

Xu Ningchen looked at the purple-black eggplant in his hand, which was big, thick and straight.

"Maybe it's a genetic mutation."

It is several times larger than a normal eggplant, and buying one is enough to feed the whole family.

"The new fruits and vegetables cultivated by the government must have many advantages that existing varieties cannot match," said Sister Li. "The government is recommending their cultivation on a large scale."

The authorities are making preparations just in case.

"It's good news for ordinary people," the more supplies the authorities have, the more likely ordinary people will be able to survive a disaster.

Putting the purple-black eggplants in their hands back to their original places, the two of them cooperated with each other and made a table full of food in just one hour.

I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. It tasted okay, but not as amazing as I had imagined.

However, this is inevitable. After all, fruits and vegetables with large yields will have some problems. The pursuit of deliciousness is based on having enough food and clothing. When survival is put first, having enough food and clothing is the first priority.

The strange yet familiar fruit and vegetable categories seemed to have revealed a corner of life. Every day when Shen Yao went to the vegetable market, she could get fresh fruits and vegetables from Sister Li. They looked strange, but the taste was mostly above the passing line.

Shen Yao goes to the vegetable market almost every day. The increasing number of special vegetable varieties means that the number of ordinary vegetables is decreasing, until there are no ordinary vegetables in the entire vegetable market.

Shen Yao even asked Sister Li about this, but Sister Li couldn't explain it clearly. She only said that the new fruits and vegetables tasted good, were cheap and available in large quantities, and with the official subsidy policy, most vegetable farmers were willing to grow them.

Originally, the planting area in the southwestern highlands was limited, and new vegetables squeezed the living space of ordinary fruits and vegetables. In addition, vegetable farmers were driven by their own interests, so ordinary vegetables naturally disappeared.

This does not have much impact on ordinary people who buy groceries every day. It is not that the new fruits and vegetables are inedible. In fact, because of their cheapness and large quantity, the prices of new fruits and vegetables are half cheaper than ordinary fruits and vegetables, which is more in line with the choices of ordinary people.

It means that some people who are neither going up nor down are suffering collectively.

However, this is not Feng City, with a small population and mostly elderly people. Shen Yao will at most hear some pleasant complaints. The Internet is calm and life is still very peaceful.

Of course, this is only limited to economically underdeveloped and remote inland cities. As for other big cities, the noisy sounds have never stopped since the beginning.

The rumors grew stronger and stronger. After realizing they couldn't stop it, the authorities gave up resistance and just went about their business quietly. This approach seemed to have fueled the trend online, with violent and aggressive words frequently exposed to the public. If Shen Yao hadn't been living a relatively normal life offline, she would have thought she was surviving the apocalypse.

It is not wrong to say so. With all kinds of sudden deaths in cities big and small, when it comes to one's own life safety, everyone will lose their calm instinct, become irritable and make irreversible decisions.

The small town where Shen Yao lives was also in an uproar because of a food poisoning incident.

The cause was a large restaurant where a customer who was dining at the restaurant felt unwell and after experiencing severe diarrhea, dehydration and other problems, was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with food poisoning.

As the most direct source of food contact, the entire purchasing process of the restaurant was checked, and it was discovered that there was a problem with the restaurant's purchasing channels. The vegetable farmers who sold the vegetables to the restaurant used unqualified herbicides and pesticides in their fields, causing the toxicity content in the farmland to exceed the standard. If humans eat such food, even if it is cooked and heated, they will still suffer from symptoms of poisoning.

What’s even more frightening is that the vegetable farmer is a well-known local seller. Although the vegetables he sells are wholesale, his trading range covers the entire town and even includes official recycling.

The inside information was brought back by He Jie, and Shen Yao did not know whether it was true or not, but judging from the final outcome of the town's handling of the matter, the ratio of true to false was approximately eight to two.

Because of this incident, the vegetables sold in the vegetable market have become more popular. Those who have some ability all cook by themselves, and those who do not have the ability are slowly learning how to do it manually, otherwise they might get caught when they go out to eat.

"Is this the reason why you two are eating and drinking for free?" Shen Yao rolled her eyes at He Jie and Xu Hai, holding the freshly cooked meal in her hands.

He Jie and Xu Hai looked at each other and laughed, "Sister Shen, we are just afraid."

With their physical enhancement points, food poisoning would not be fatal, but who knows if there would be more terrible dangers after food poisoning.

It is still the safest and most comfortable to be with the big boss. Even if something happens, the big boss will rescue them, and the two of them will just lie down and hug his thighs.

Shen Yao:......

What a simple and plain reason. It was a sign that I had survived until now.

"It's better to be afraid than to be foolish and bold. At least they won't jump out and cause trouble."

Xu Ningchen felt that these people from the Changping Guild were quite interesting, whether they left with them or chose to stay in Feng City.

"I'm afraid that even if they don't look for trouble, trouble will find them."

The members of the Changping Guild were not just He Jie and the other two, there were also a few others who followed and lived nearby.

The copy situation was tense. Although He Jie and Xu Hai had discussed countermeasures, they were no match for certain people, especially when they acted unintentionally.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen were both on guard, not to guard against He Jie and the others, but to prevent someone from using them to plot against them.

.........

"He Jie, what's wrong with your phone?"

Shen Yao took out her mobile phone and adjusted the interface to the dialog box between the two of them, which clearly showed the reason why He Jie wanted to ask Shen Yao to go to a certain place.

Coincidentally, an accident happened in that place two days ago, and the road was closed, so we had to take the back trail.

He Jie: ...

He Jie scratched his head, "I never sent this message."

Why not just talk to someone directly when he has something to do? Why do they have to chat on the phone?

Besides, he has been going out with Xu Hai recently and has asked Shen Yao out, so it is impossible for him to have forgotten Xu Ningchen.

"Someone has touched your phone, so it's best to check if anything is missing."

Shen Yao put away her phone, poured a glass of water and handed it to He Jie, whose face was flushed.

He Jie: ...

He Jie opened the bank card information with trembling hands, and found that some of his money had disappeared.

"That's the reserve fund," to be used to fill in the gaps when they escape. Since he is the second-generation rich, he is the only one among the four who can take out large sums of money anytime and anywhere without being suspected.
