Chapter 1339 The Beginning of Chaos

Lin Jia ran to make dinner, but this dinner was not cheap. It was not that Lin Jia's labor costs were high, but that the cost of the dinner had increased significantly.

The strange insect chaos four days ago put everyone in the big city at risk. Although the casualties caused by the insects were not large, the citizens were extremely insecure and went to supermarkets, grocery stores, and markets early. Food was looted and stored at home in case the end of the world came.

As the prices of staple foods such as rice and flour increased, other vendors followed suit and increased the prices of various vegetables, fruits, and meats. The most shocking thing is that pork in Suicheng supermarkets has been sold out. It costs 50 yuan per pound, which is four times the usual price!

Food is like this, not to mention other daily necessities. All kinds of fruit knives and kitchen knives are also being snatched up. Even the spring knives are about to be sold out. It is difficult for you to get another one. It is said that in some black markets There are also "Hunting Crossbows", "Hunting Bows" and "Country Guns" that are being traded crazily. The most common "Hunting Crossbow" with twenty crossbow arrows has been sold for 2,000 yuan. You must know that its usual price is only that much. Four to five hundred yuan, the price has increased nearly five times!

And those long bladed knives, Tang knives, watermelon knives, and fitness knives are almost selling like crazy, especially the Tang knives on Taobao, which are produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They usually only sell for 700 to 800 yuan, but now they have It sold for 3,000 yuan, and the supply was still in short supply. Couriers were quickly delivering these sharpened props every day!

Some people in society have nothing to do after they are full. They commented online: This society is crazy. People are in chaos because of some small bugs. Prices have soared and people are in dire straits. Although it is understandable that everyone carries a knife for self-defense, if the country does not care , if things continue like this, it will definitely become the next United States, and serious "armed fighting" incidents will occur every day. The bad nature of the Chinese people has destined them not to carry weapons with them!

Such social figures were quickly bombarded by a large number of netizens, who fired back:

"As national taxpayers, we work hard for the country for real estate and are exploited. We want a stable life. But when we were attacked by insects, where was the army and where was the country's help? Even if the country was later Help with burial, but who will be responsible for the dead people? Next time the bugs invade again, can the country provide us with support as soon as possible? No, the only thing we can rely on is our family and friends. In this case, let What’s the point of criticizing family and friends who have enough weapons to fight off monsters?”

In short, after four days, even though the country carried out appeasement and macro-economic adjustments, it had little effect. Every household had prepared weapons for self-defense, and those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen were even more afraid of death and hired a large number of private bodyguards. Rumor has it that Sui Sui A wealthy businessman in the city was followed by ten bodyguards in black at all times when he came in and out. There were nearly fifty bodyguards stationed in the villa at all times. They were also equipped with a large number of thermal weapons, including an anti-tank sniper rifle and a grenade. A basket of chalk bombs and incendiary bombs is enough to kill all the invading colorful centipedes alive!

Because the chaos has reached this level, it is natural that the prices of various materials should skyrocket...

Lin Jia was forced by Li Jiayu to buy groceries this morning. The raw materials for lunch and dinner alone cost two thousand yuan. After all, Li Jiayu eats twenty times as much as ordinary people. After all, this money is really worth it. Jinghua!

Nowadays, a cup of instant noodles in the supermarket can cost ten yuan. People on the Internet said that even the hairdressers near the train station have raised their prices to more than five hundred yuan. It’s just fast food. If you include a night out, the price will increase to more than 500 yuan. One thousand dollars!

This damn thing... is simply a money grab. If it had been changed four days ago,

You can find a plump and tender student with one thousand yuan. If you are having sex for the night, why do you need to buy those pheasants from the hair salon?

I don’t know how many people are venting on the Internet. They can’t live this life. The horrifying skyrocketing prices make it difficult to live without even a full meal. If this situation continues to worsen, I’m afraid there will be major riots across the country. The degree of harm is no less than that of the Cultural Revolution!

In addition, some cults hidden among the people also took the opportunity to expand their power and win over believers. They threatened that those strange insects were messengers sent by the devil to the world to purify this filthy world and kill all the degenerate people who were obsessed with money and wealth. The light leaves only honest and kind-hearted men and women, so you must believe in the cult, otherwise you are not kind people, and the bugs will kill you next time they come.

Not to mention, there has never been a shortage of ignorant people in the Central Plains. Those rural people with low education and uncles and aunts in the city were really deceived and joined the cult without knowing anything, and accepted brainwashing again and again. educate……

As for the state agencies, they are also very busy with this "weird insect disaster". The martial police in the city are busy disposing of the bodies of the dead, the construction engineering team is worried about the buildings damaged by the earthquake, and the People's Liberation Army is even more burdened. Under great pressure, they were condemned again and again, but they had no choice but to drive tanks into the city. They sent military units to patrol the city every day, loaded with live ammunition, and always on alert...

"Is it that serious?"

Li Jiayu turned on the TV, and all the news played on it were related to the "Weird Insect Disaster". One moment, there was the tragic wail of the family of the deceased, another moment there was a memorial service for a certain person, and another moment there was a scene where a certain hero sacrificed his life. The deeds of rescuing people are a tear gas for one moment, showing where the orphans will go. The next moment, it is a reminder of how many elites the country has lost, how many houses were damaged by the earthquake, how many people are homeless and can only temporarily live in tents...

Suicheng is the capital of Guangdong Province and one of the cities most severely affected by the disaster. A total of 120,000 people died. However, compared to Shanghai and Hong Kong, it was much luckier. The news reported that the extent of the disaster in Shanghai and Hong Kong was truly real. It was so tragic that the total death toll exceeded 400,000, which was actually more terrifying than the Nanjing Massacre decades ago!

"On behalf of the party, I swear that I will make every effort to protect the motherland and the people! Comrades, please rest assured that the country will not let you down and will definitely give you a stable and beautiful home!"

On the TV, the video news of the country's supreme leader was being broadcast. He had two dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest in a few days, but he still insisted on condolences to the families of the deceased and walked through cities to comfort people. …

Even the country's leaders had trouble sleeping. This shows how heavy the impact of the monster insect disaster has been on the real world.

"The food is here, beautiful chef, come and eat quickly, let's watch the news while eating!"

Li Jiayu's eyes lit up while watching the news. At some point, Lin Jia had already served the food. His cooking skills were getting better and better. The dishes he cooked were full of flavor and flavor, such as fragrant Coke chicken wings and hot taro crab roe. , coupled with hot and sour pork ribs, beer sword-bone fish and other meats, Li Jiayu's index finger is very excited.

"Lin Jia, the news said that society may be in turmoil soon, is it true? Will it be difficult for us to be as comfortable as we are now? I still want to eat the dishes you cook for me every day... "

At the dining table, Li Jiayu swallowed a piece of ribs and suddenly asked with a serious expression.

"You have a fever? How could you bring up such a topic?"

Lin Jia was stunned. In his opinion, Li Jiayu was not a person who cared about national political affairs. He was unruly and humane at the same time. He was just a child who had not grown up. However, Lin Jia did not think too much about it and gave Li Jiayu a piece. Coke Chicken Wings replied:

"Whether there will be chaos or not, who knows... It all depends on the power of the state. If it can suppress those insects, who will dare to cause chaos? But if the state agencies can't do anything about those bugs, they can't stop them from killing civilians like crazy. ... Then no one will trust the country anymore... By then, everyone will be concerned about saving their lives, and no one will raise pigs and chickens, let alone sell meat, and no one will sell salt or oil, even power plants. I’m afraid there are no workers willing to work, so you and I really won’t have the chance to eat comfortably at home like we do now.”

"oh……"

Li Jiayu nodded, feeling disappointed. She had just gotten used to living with Lin Jia, and had a lot of fun every day without any worries... But the good times did not last long, and the world was about to be in chaos so soon. She could vaguely feel it. , my comfortable days are coming to an end again.

"Beautiful Master, you feel very strange after reading the news. Hey, you must be merciful and want to save the world, right?" Lin Jia put down her chopsticks, looked at Li Jiayu seriously, and suddenly touched her chin and patted her thigh. Said: "Yes, Master, you can save the earth. You are a superwoman! Why don't you open a martial arts training class and teach others to practice martial arts. Just like me, everyone's physical fitness has improved significantly, so there is no need to be afraid. Bugs!"

"Idiot, I don't want that! I'm not meant to be a teacher... What's more, not every ordinary person is like you, who can endure hardships. Even if they can, they have to work hard for several years to achieve results... ...But you, if you didn’t have those dozens of bug crystal nuclei integrated into your body, you wouldn’t have the strong physique you have now.”

Lin Jia was speechless for a moment, speechless.

"Forget it, I don't have to worry about it anyway... The soldiers will cover up the water and the earth. Anyway, those insects can't hurt me. The worst thing is that my life will be a little more difficult in the future." Li Jiayu's brain is not very good, compared to thinking and planning , she prefers to use violence to solve problems.

"Hey, it would be great if we could still go to that other world..." Lin Jia took a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, feeling disappointed: "In that other world, there are so many masters, and anyone who comes can kill those bugs. It's crazy... If our earth world and that other world are connected to each other and exchange what they need, our earth will let them eat well and provide a lot of living facilities, and they will come to teach us martial arts and help us Dealing with bugs...it's definitely a win-win situation."

That's what he thought, but Lin Jia also knew that he was daydreaming. How could anything be so cheap in the world?

"Ding dong"

After finishing the meal, Lin Jiagang wanted to put away the tableware, but the doorbell rang. Li Jiayu ran to the window and looked down, only to see a precious burgundy car parked below, with a handsome young man wearing sunglasses standing next to him.

"Hello, cousin Lin Jia, I'm here to see you again!"

This guy is none other than Lin Jia’s classmate Ye Fugui! (To be continued "This article is provided by the Dawn Update Team x-on:Qianyu Momo". If you like this work, you are welcome to ◤First Release◢vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
