The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

Zhao Shao's heart was pounding, and he opened the attribute panel tremblingly, feeling nervous as if he was holding a lively little rabbit.

Hey, this was a terrible sight. His eyes were as big as copper bells and almost fell out of their sockets.

It turns out that it clearly states that 9892 opening tasks have been completed!

Zhao Shao took a deep breath and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Oh my god, I'm so lucky!"

His mind was in a tangle, he was extremely curious, and he kept muttering:

"How on earth did I manage to get through this? Where did I get all this perseverance and courage?"

.........

On the winding path covered with thick yellow leaves, which made a creaking sound when walked on, Zhao Shao dragged his tired body and stopped to catch his breath.

Then he couldn't wait to open the system and look left and right.

He muttered:

"Ever since I encountered that bandit leader six years ago, the system gave a loud notification and helped me a lot, but now there's only this lonely task panel open, and no movement at all.

What is the origin of this mysterious system?

Why did they choose me?

I can’t figure it out no matter how hard I try! "

……

After resting for a while, Zhao Shao took a deep breath, cheered himself up, and continued walking towards the town with high spirits.

As Zhao Shao walked, he was still pondering the mysterious system.

“What on earth can this thing bring to me?

Even though I completed the mission, I didn't get rich! "

He muttered.

……

This should have been a bustling and prosperous town, but now it is as depressed as an eggplant hit by frost.

There were very few people coming and going in the town, and even the birds that loved to join in the fun were reluctant to stay here for a while.

The once bustling market now has only a few shops still hanging on, while the rest have closed down.

The streets were deserted, with only the wind rustling the leaves and the occasional weak barking of dogs breaking the eerie silence.

The square in the town center, where everyone used to gather and chat, is now so empty that you could run horses there, and it looks particularly desolate.

The doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street were tightly closed, as if they were desperately avoiding some disaster.

Some houses even put up seals, and it seems that they are determined to leave this unfortunate place.

The faces of those residents who still stayed here were filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

When Zhao Shao was still several miles away from the center of the town, he felt something was wrong.

From afar, black smoke was floating over the town, and the entrance was deserted, with no one around.

He scratched his head and said to himself:

"This season should be the busiest time of year in town, why does it look so eerie?"

But even though he was having doubts in his heart, Zhao Shao still gritted his teeth and walked towards the town.

After all, he had to sell the goods in his hands in exchange for something to live on, otherwise he and his family would not be able to survive in the mountains in this cold winter.

Walking slowly along the street, there are dilapidated houses everywhere on the roadside, with the walls peeling off piece by piece, the windows broken into pieces, and some have simply collapsed, leaving only a pile of ruins.

Beggars can be seen everywhere along the streets. Some sit listlessly on the roadside, some lie weakly on the ground, and some stand at the street corner with a lonely look, stretching out their hands to beg for food from passers-by.

At this time, a skinny beggar walked up to Zhao Shao tremblingly and said pitifully:

"Good man, please be kind and give me something to eat.

My old bones are almost falling apart from hunger, I feel like the wind will blow me up to the sky!"

Zhao Shao looked at his pitiful appearance and felt soft in his heart. He took out a half-eaten bun from his pocket, handed it to him and said:

"Take it, sir."

The beggar's eyes suddenly lit up, and as soon as he took a bite, he was surrounded by a group of people who were also hungry.

Someone shouted: "This bun is mine!"

Another said: "Why is it yours? Whoever sees it gets a share!"

They pushed and shoved each other and fought fiercely.

A beggar fainted and asked a stupid question: "Why don't you rob the people who are distributing food?"

A close friend nearby grumbled, "Look at how big he is, we can't afford to offend him!

If you want to grab it, grab it..."

Zhao Shao looked at the situation where everyone was fighting for half a bun and shook his head. He sighed helplessly, "Alas, this is a sad world."

Then continue walking forward...

He came to the door of the familiar store and saw that it was still intact, so he knocked on the door a few times.

Soon, a vigilant voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Zhao Shao shouted at the top of his lungs, "Bamboo seller!"

After a while, the door opened and the shop owner, Uncle Zhou, poked his head out. Seeing Zhao Shao, he frowned and said:

"You kid, it's such a mess outside, and you still dare to come?

Don’t worry about your life! "

Zhao Shao said with a grin:

"Uncle Zhou, what can I do if I don't come? We're almost out of rice at home!"

As he said this, he put down the goods on his back.

Uncle Zhou sighed: "You are such a stubborn kid!"

After handing over the goods, Zhao Shao counted the copper coins in his hand and wondered what he could buy.

He went to other shops to see if there were any cheap and practical things.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a loud noise.

I saw a dozen soldiers in military uniforms and holding rifles rushing over, looking like bandits.

They arrested anyone they saw and robbed any food they found.

A soldier shouted:

"No one is allowed to run. I'll kill anyone who runs!"

The beggars were so frightened that they ran away, shouting:

"Run! The soldiers are coming to steal our things again!"

Zhao Shao had just come out of the store. Seeing this, he turned around and wanted to hide in the store, but the store owner slammed the door shut and shouted, "Don't come in. Save your own life!"

There was no choice but for Zhao Shao to follow the crowd.

The soldiers behind were still shouting, "If you run again, we'll shoot you!"

At this moment, there was a gunshot and someone fell down.

Everyone was stunned. They thought the soldiers were just trying to scare them and didn't dare to shoot, but the reality was that the soldiers really dared to shoot.

Some people were so frightened that they dared not run away, and said with a sad face:

"Don't shoot, I'm not running away."

But Zhao Shao didn't care and just rushed forward.

Someone scolded him: "Why are you running? Are you trying to kill us?"

Zhao Shao replied, "If you don't run, you'll be caught!"

At this tense moment, the system voice in Zhao Shao's mind, which had been silent for a long time, rang out:

"Ding……"
