In this way, Luo Kai stayed in Zhang Wenqian's house. His injuries had not healed yet. He was like a person who had just woken up. His mind was slow and his body was stiff. The Evil God's attack was to directly attack the spiritual consciousness of a living being, which was the soul. Once the soul was injured, the person would become mentally retarded or even be directly obliterated. It was a true and complete death.
Zhang Wenqian gradually recovered from her sadness. She went to work from nine to five every day. Luo Kai stayed in the house all day long. At first, she was not used to having a strange man in the house. A few days later, she found that this man was like a block of wood. There was almost no difference between having him and not having him.
Early in the morning, Zhang Wenqian was awakened by the sound of a horn outside the house.
"Dear citizens, a group of ice beasts from the extreme north will soon approach Beihai County. All shopping malls and shops will be closed. Please close your doors and windows and stay at home. If there is an emergency, please sound the alarm on the street. The patrolling soldiers will quickly come to support you. The underground defensive fortress has also been opened. Those who do not have a house to live in, please go there as soon as possible. In order to maintain social stability and ensure the safety of the people, the military will set up supply points at the various farmers' markets.
The big horn of the fuel patrol car was constantly playing on the street.
Zhang Wenqian hurriedly got up and put on her clothes. She said to Luo Kai who was sitting in the living room in a daze, "Let's go and get some food."
Luo Kai nodded. He went outside and looked at the hazy sky. He could faintly feel the atmosphere of a coming storm.
Beihai County was located in the center of the human territory. If there were fierce beasts that had begun to invade, one could imagine the situation in other remote areas.
Ice beasts generally referred to the ferocious beasts of the extreme north. They came in all shapes and sizes. Some looked like fish, while others looked like animals or plants. What they had in common was that they were all life forms that were a combination of flesh and ice.
People from all over the city rushed out. The streets became crowded in an instant. They gathered into a huge human stream and flowed to the nearest supply point.
Rows of colorful houses had been built near the supply point. Through the small windows, one could see that the greenhouse inside was filled with a small mountain of food. Rows of fully armed soldiers were maintaining order. The rioting crowd slowly quieted down as they approached. In the past two years, the ordinary people had adapted to the scene of food distribution. The queue moved slowly in an orderly manner.
"Why do I have so little, but she has so much!" A fat middle-aged woman pointed at the old lady who had just left with food and asked loudly.
"Because there's a disabled person in her family who can't receive food." The soldier in charge of distributing food frowned.
The middle-aged woman was even more unwilling. She said loudly, "Who knows if she has a disabled person in her family? If I say that I have a disabled person in my family, shouldn't you give me more food too?"
When the surrounding people heard this, they immediately began to jeer.
The soldier's face turned cold, but he still explained patiently, "I just looked at her family information. She has a paralyzed son."
The middle-aged woman wanted to say something, but when she saw a few valiant soldiers walking towards them, she didn't dare to say anything. She quickly took her food and left.
In front of them was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He looked around carefully and took out a stack of cash. He whispered, "Can I buy two more portions with money?"
The worker looked at the cash in his hand indifferently and said, "This is the supply point. Everyone can only receive one portion. If you want to buy something, please go to the market."
"But the market is closed today." The man looked at the mountain of food in the greenhouse and gulped.
"I'm sorry. Please leave quickly after taking the food. Next."
When the man left, he muttered with a bitter face, "Looks like I can only buy from the black market."
Luo Kai saw that everyone's food for three days was only a bag of brown flour and a small jar of pickles. He asked Zhang Wenqian, "Is there no meat now?"
Zhang Wenqian rolled her eyes at him. "There's no meat for a long time. If we can't even feed the people, how can we feed the animals? Also, the mutation rate of animals is very high. If we're not careful, we'll raise a ferocious beast."
The two of them carried the food back home. Zhang Wenqian carefully hid the food and then looked at Luo Kai who was sitting in the living room in a daze. Although the two of them lived together these days, they almost didn't talk. She couldn't help but ask, "Where … where is your home?"
Luo Kai opened his eyes and replied, "Seongma Province."
"Oh, that's so far. I heard that Seongma Province was occupied by ferocious beasts a few years ago. Where's your family?"
Luo Kai shook his head. "I don't have any family."
Zhang Wenqian fell silent and stared at him for a while. Her expression became more and more strange. She muttered, "Strange, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
Luo Kai didn't explain too much. He naturally recognized that this woman was the girl surnamed Zhang that he met in the Thousand Islands Sea when he left Seongma Province. Later, they met again in Yunling. Now, they actually met again. In the vast sea of people, the probability of meeting her several times was close to zero.
There was no such thing as fate in the world for no reason. Fate was like a big net. Two people who were related to each other were bound to interact with each other. It was difficult for him to pry into this invisible and intangible thing that pushed and influenced everything. After thinking for a while, he finally changed his tone and said, "By the way, I haven't said thank you to you yet."
Zhang Wenqian smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? You're different from ordinary people. You must be a person with a story."
Then she went back to the room and took out a few strange-colored banknotes and handed them to him. "Take this money. Although it's not much, it should be enough for you to leave Beihai County."
Each banknote had a denomination of 100,000 yuan. Luo Kai felt a little strange and said, "Are the denominations so big now?"
"Not big. There are denominations of one million and ten million, but I don't have any. If you want to leave, you can go to the bus station after the martial law is over. Now only the buses are still running. The trains have stopped."
Luo Kai didn't take it. It could be seen that the life of ordinary people was very difficult. Even a high-level physical warrior like Zhang Wenqian could barely make ends meet.
Zhang Wenqian stuffed the money into his hand and sighed faintly. "I'm alone now. The factory provides two meals a day. It's useless to ask for money. Just take it."
"Thank you."
Luo Kai didn't say anything. He silently put the money in his pocket. Of course, he didn't need money. He just didn't want to refuse her kindness.
In the evening, Zhang Wenqian started a fire to cook. In reality, it was just boiling some batter and throwing in a few green leaves. There was also some wheat bread and salted vegetables.
After eating, she flipped through a small booklet under the candlelight. The words "Wu Kong True Explanation" on the cover of the small booklet attracted Luo Kai's attention. His heart moved and he asked, "What book is this?"
Zhang Wenqian looked at him and replied, "Recently, it's a body technique book that's been circulating in the body technique circle. Supposedly, it's a kind of heaven-level body technique that can communicate with the energy of Heaven and Earth. It's a pity that it's too profound and no one can understand it."
"Can you let me see?"
"Here." Zhang Wenqian handed it to him. The small booklet had been circulated a long time ago. It wasn't something precious.
Luo Kai took the booklet and flipped through it. There were many small figures drawn inside. Some looked like they were stretching their fists and kicking to cultivate their body arts, while others were standing still as if they were sleeping. The drawing was very crude, and the average person would definitely not understand what it was.
He smiled and said, "Do you have a pen and paper?"
Zhang Wenqian was puzzled. "What for?"
"The drawing is too ugly. I'll help you fix it."
"You know how to draw?"
"A little."
Luo Kai lightly nodded. The small booklet was the body technique that he had passed on to Tuo Ba Ye's daughter. This body technique was the product of the combination of the Vast Wave Energy and the static body technique. It was a method to use kinetic energy and static energy. It was hard to understand just by looking at the form. If you wanted to understand the meaning, you had to be able to keep up with the drawing. This small booklet was clearly a crude drawing, and it was most likely drawn by Tuo Ba Ye.
