In November, the city is quite safe during the day, but quiet at night.
Because of the panic buying, prices at supermarkets and markets had all gone up. Lin Xiaoman only bought a few of the food items that were the focus of the rush, as her 999 had already been fully stocked, except for the gasoline. She mostly bought daily necessities and snatched monsters and attribute plants from the market.
Every monster and every attribute is precious!
However, Lin Xiaoman discovered that the number of elite monsters had increased a little bit, and she even found a leader. As for the king monster, she still didn't see it.
At night, Lin Xiaoman considered sneaking out to fight monsters, but on the one hand, Wang Cuiqing refused and refused to let her go out no matter what, and on the other hand, there were too many patrols outside.
If you happen to run into someone, things will get complicated.
It’s better to stay at home at night.
As time went on, Lin Xiaoman clearly discovered that the live poultry in the vegetable market gradually disappeared, and were replaced by frozen meat.
Around the 20th, not only poultry but also fish, shrimp, and turtles were all gone, leaving only frozen goods. Furthermore, frozen goods were in short supply, and could only be purchased early in the morning. After 9 a.m., there was no meat at all. By the afternoon, all the vegetables and fruits were sold out in the markets and supermarkets.
Lin Xiaoman guessed that the mutation situation in the wild was serious and transportation was affected.
While the situation had not yet been completely brought under control, Lin Xiaoman hurried to empty the warehouse.
After her tireless purchase of monsters, she killed more than 30 elite monsters and 1 leader, picked up 4 [treasure bags], and expanded her backpack to 17 slots.
All the supplies were put into the backpack, filling up 15 slots. There were 3 cars full of supplies. Using the backpack function, Lin Xiaoman hid them in batches in an empty factory building near the community.
She also wanted to pick up a lot of things when the end of the world came, but her backpack was not enough. Now she could only hope for the three people in her family.
Chu Youyou and Wang Cuiqing definitely killed no less than 50 monsters. Lin Xiaoman even reluctantly gave each of them three elite monsters. If this still did not meet the standard, Lin Xiaoman could only sigh.
They were dedicated to buying monsters early in the morning every day, and soon it was the end of the month. On the 26th, a big event happened in their Lanting Jiayuan community.
A family's dog bit the female owner to death and injured the male owner. When the security guard arrived, the dog had already run away and no one knew where it went.
Such a big thing spread throughout the community, and everyone in the community was in panic.
In the residential complex, property management and relevant departments jointly enforce the law, requiring every household that keeps pets to hand in all their pets for disposal.
Not only in the community, but the entire city has launched a pet collection campaign.
In response to this, pet owners were divided into two factions, the cooperative faction and the opposition faction. The cooperative faction was very cooperative with the government's actions.
The opposition shouted slogans, held banners, and protested resolutely. They did not know the truth and firmly believed that killing pets because of one or two incidents of pets injuring people was a barbaric act that violated the spirit of humanitarianism. It was too bloody and they firmly opposed it!
The opponents have a valid point: there are car accidents every day, why not ban cars?!
However, only a minority of people keep pets in this day and age, so the protesting opposition was suppressed after just a few days.
In December, the city was directly blocked.
Except for those special government departments and basic utilities such as water, electricity, and garbage disposal, all other companies and enterprises must suspend operations and all employees must stay at home.
Rice, flour, vegetables and meat are purchased by the community and delivered door to door.
The news reported, "Several pet-related incidents have occurred. Experts have shown that a contagious disease called rabies has emerged among animals. Sick animals can go berserk and bite people. The city is undergoing a thorough animal cleanup. Citizens are encouraged to voluntarily hand in their pets... Report hotline: XXXXX."
In short: pets are dangerous, and all pets will be forcibly confiscated.
As soon as the news was broadcast, for their own safety, neighbors rushed to report their neighbors who kept pets.
The law enforcement vehicles were rushing by, taking away the pets locked in cages one by one.
In the empty city, the only vehicles you can see on the road are police cars and other special vehicles.
Of course, school was suspended. Lin Xiaoman, who was bored at home, went online. With his hacking skills, he was able to find and read many deleted posts, and then he saw a lot of messages.
Mutated animals are still plentiful across the country, especially in the wild. They're difficult to prevent, and some large mutants are even known to collide with trucks, creating difficulties in transporting supplies. The number of missing and deceased people is also rapidly increasing.
There was a lot of meat stored at home, so the four of Lin Xiaoman's family had enough to eat. Lin Xiaoman mobilized the whole family to practice martial arts, even the little ones were not left out.
If your physical condition improves, the original data may look better.
In mid-December, the temperature suddenly dropped and heavy snow fell on time.
With the freezing temperature, the entire city seemed to have fallen into hibernation. It was suddenly quiet, and even the patrol vehicles disappeared.
Not to mention the community staff, even the property management staff have disappeared, and all the staff are hibernating at home.
Lin Xiaoman knew that most people had stored food at home, so the vast majority of people survived December and did not starve to death.
Mass deaths are definitely a January occurrence.
As the original process went on, the communication was cut off, and then the water and electricity were also cut off.
But it didn't matter, she had a generator at home, and there was even a well in her yard! She had paid the property management a lot of money to have someone dig it.
In this world's end, there are no viruses or anything like that, so water can be used and drunk.
You can drink it after boiling. If you have the conditions, you can filter it with a water purifier before boiling.
However, at this time, Lin Xiaoman could only use melted snow for water like other families, because on the third day after the snow, the snow had accumulated to more than one meter, and it was so thick that it completely covered the well in the yard.
It was white and silent as death, with only occasional people standing at the window yelling to vent their emotions.
In the depressing social atmosphere, Lin Xiaoman counted the days on his fingers every day. Finally, on January 1, the dark clouds that had accumulated for half a month dissipated, and the long-lost sunshine filled the earth.
That day, the weather finally cleared up. After breakfast, Wang Cuiqing diligently took out all the clothes to dry in the sun. "The sun is finally out!"
Then, he shouted in panic, "Huh? Ah!! Xiaoying!"
Lin Xiaoman, who was staring at Chu Youyou's wrist, wondering, "Why hasn't the bracelet appeared yet? Is it because the conditions for unlocking it haven't been met?", heard the cry and thought Wang Yuqing had encountered a monster, so he rushed over.
"mom!"
Although her back was facing away from her, Wang Cuiqing was fine and was not attacked.
Lin Xiaoman exhaled, "Mom, what's wrong? Is there something happening outside?"
"No, look..." Wang Cuiqing turned around and stretched out her left hand towards her, her face full of confusion. "What is this thing? It suddenly appeared, so strange. Oh my God, I won't be caught and studied, will I?"
Lin Xiaoman: The Chosen One’s Bracelet!
