Chapter 370: The Smoke of Shopping Season



"Next, Wang XX!"

A soldier enters the room, stands on the scale, and then measures blood pressure and other data.

Physical examinations are being carried out in the military.

A doctor entered the data into the computer with a little surprise.

"75 kg... height 175 cm..."

To be honest, judging from the height and physique of this soldier, he does not weigh more than 75 kilograms. After all, he is a well-trained soldier and does not have much fat on his body.

And because it focuses more on endurance training, the muscles are more symmetrical and not so bulging.

The physical examination started in the morning, and after more than ten minutes, the data of the dozen or so soldiers who came in were all abnormal.

The most intuitive manifestation is blood pressure and weight. Although the height has increased a little, it is impossible for the weight to increase so much.

There is only one explanation: the soldiers' body density is slowly increasing.

Since the soldiers' training mode and intensity are not comparable to those of ordinary people who neglect exercise, the speed of physical strengthening will naturally be more affected by the earth's environment.

The army's tiered physical examination is carried out in stages. Some suspected new evolvers will be reported immediately and then sent to special institutions for detailed examination within a short period of time.

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

The sudden tremor caused a commotion, and many people immediately ran out of the physical examination center as they felt their feet were swaying.

Many people in the military camp also ran out, some even carrying guns.

This military camp is located on the edge of a mountainous area, but now the area around the camp is already covered with green trees.

Looking up at the distant sky, countless mountain birds were startled and took off from the forest, forming a cloud of chirping birds not far above the head.

"Are there so many birds already?"

One soldier was not dwelling on the earthquake, but rather the dense flocks of birds attracted his attention.

The earthquake came and went quickly, lasting only a few tens of seconds.

For the military, they can do whatever they want very quickly, but for the top leaders, they have to take it seriously.

This time the shock is still global, and the altitude is lower than the previous ones.

But these were things that had been foreseen, and at most served as a wake-up call.

Many restrictions on news media reporting have been relaxed, so some TV stations and online platforms have also begun to report objectively.

"Our latest news is that at around 9am today, some cities in our country felt slight tremors, with a magnitude of about 4 and a duration of between 10 and 20 seconds. The cities where the tremors occurred include Yuncheng, Changcheng... It is reported that similar tremors can be felt in the United States... Russia... and other places."

"Experts have started discussing this... This may be the beginning of a new round of active crustal movement..."

I searched several channels and found that during this prime time, several news outlets reported this incident, and even CCTV only briefly reported it.

Click, the TV was turned off.

A woman in her thirties sat on the sofa in the living room, frowned, and then bumped her husband with her shoulder.

"Hey, don't you think this earthquake is too weird?"

My husband was holding his mobile phone and playing with his colleagues, and they had already reached the stage of fighting for the big dragon.

"What's so weird about that? It can't shake here! Hey hey hey... Go ahead, we can grab it. The opponent's jungler is not here!!"

Responses from other colleagues could also be heard from the voicemail phone.

"I said, are you listening to me carefully?"

The wife was so angry that she really wanted to snatch her husband's phone and smash it. She was a little annoyed that he just kept playing.

“Double Eleven is coming!”

"ah?"

Her husband finally looked at her.

"Let's buy less this year... Last year, there were a lot of useless things, and our oil will probably not be used up until next year..."

His wife glared at him unhappily.

"This year I plan to buy all the food and drinks, plus some daily necessities."

On the mobile phone, there is already a long list in the shopping cart.

The game was already hopeless, with the opponent approaching the high ground with double buffs. The husband decisively chose to surrender, and then approached his wife to see what she was going to buy.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that they were all fast food, some canned food and water. The strange things from previous years were still there, but they were much less.

"You're not going to prepare for the end of the world, are you?"

My husband asked in surprise.

"A lot of people are buying it, we should buy some too. Xiaohao's school has been taking evacuation classes for a long time."

"That's to avoid fire and hijacking..."

"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? If you say so, come on! Follow me to the supermarket now!"

"ah?"

The husband was confused by his wife's train of thought. Why did she suddenly want to go to the supermarket?

It was less than 8 o'clock in the evening, and the husband came to the supermarket at the insistence of his wife.

The situation before him surprised him a little.

Crowds of people!

There were old men and women around, and even many young people walking around in the supermarket, and many of them had their shopping carts already full.

"Shit! Is there a big sale at the supermarket today?"

His wife was actually also shocked by the scene, and she did not expect that there were more people than she thought.

There were even two policemen standing next to the supermarket security.

"Let's go! Let's buy some too!"

She pulled her husband into the supermarket.

"Fuck, are you crazy? There are so many people here, how long will it take to line up and pay?"

But having said that, I somehow managed to go into the supermarket with my wife.

A shopping cart would be inconvenient in this situation, so the two of them carried a shopping basket.

The first thing we did was to rush to the food area. All the canned goods and milk were sold out. Some supermarket employees were pushing new goods out from the warehouse, but before they could reach the shelves, a group of middle-aged women rushed over and were rushing to buy them. They were like they were snatching them away!

The shelves with the most people are those selling compressed biscuits and canned goods.

The irony is that even the salt is gone from the shelves.

After a lot of effort, the two of them only bought some fresh vegetables with chili sauce and a few bags of fragrant rice. They waited in line for more than an hour before they could pay.

“Huh~”

The husband wiped the sweat from his head. It was only early November, but he felt like he had just experienced the height of summer. He could hardly breathe inside.

"Now you know!"

"I know, I know... It's definitely wise to buy online! But, why don't we place the order earlier and not wait until Double Eleven..."

After seeing the scene in the supermarket, my husband suddenly became a little worried about online shopping.

"Fuck, you guys are here too?"

The couple looked back and saw that it was their friend Lu Yong, who also came out of the supermarket with his girlfriend, sweating profusely. They had achieved great results.

"When did this supermarket become so scary?"

"It is said that after this large-scale earthquake, some people started to stir up trouble online, and a lot of people rushed to buy in the evening..."

The four of them chatted idly, watching the people coming in and out of the supermarket entrance.

Among these people, uncles and aunts are the main force. Their ferocious fighting spirit is so frightening that even young people are scared.

This general environment is similar to the salt rush in the early years, except that it covers a wider range.

Maybe some people realized that they have hoarded a lot of things at home, or they felt that their behavior in the past few days was a bit ridiculous, or they felt that their wallets could not take it.

Anyway, the situation improved over the next week or so.

But it has successfully made many people realize that if they rush to buy something when something really happens, they may not even be able to get a scrap.

In this atmosphere, major online shopping platforms strangely felt a pressure far greater than ever before.

It was as if the smoke of war had already begun to fill the air.

Many people’s shopping carts are already filled with pre-ordered goods, and some even pay in advance for fear of future express delivery conflicts.

For big men like the bosses behind e-commerce platforms, it is impossible for them not to know some key information at this point.

But the country has issued a death order to them, requiring online shopping platforms to remain stable, and even requiring them to cooperate in stabilizing some merchants' stores.

Things are different now. In this environment, you can offend anyone but never offend the most important protector.

The non-public Second United Nations General Assembly is no longer a secret among some high-level information sources.

As a member of the World Alliance, China firmly occupies the first echelon of doomsday preparations!
