In the early morning of the next day, Luo Yuan was woken up by the loudspeaker of the propaganda car outside.

"Dear citizens! Dear citizens!"

"In order to maintain stability, suppress prices, safeguard people's livelihood, and citizens who have not bought food can also eat enough food. From now on, the municipal party committee and government will implement a fixed supply of food, drinking water, meat and vegetables. The municipal party committee and government set up supply points in major farmers' markets, and citizens will supply in limited quantities with their ID cards.

"Dear citizens! Dear citizens!"

………………………………………

The speaker outside played over and over again!

He was sleepy and swept away, and quickly got up and put on his clothes and opened the door.

"What's wrong outside?" Zhao Yali walked out of the bedroom door in her pajamas, yawned, and said with a confused look on her face.

"The government has taken measures. Can food and vegetables be supplied in a fixed quantity in the future?" Luo Yuan said anxiously with a happy face.

Although he had stored a lot of food and other supplies, it was difficult to buy fresh vegetables and meat because they would be snatched away soon and they would eat up so much food. How long can they eat like this? Now the municipal government has finally taken measures, which means that there is no need to worry about it in the future, which is undoubtedly a great joy.

After all, except for ambitious people and some crazy people, no one likes troubled times.

"I'll go and see if I can buy it?" Luo Yuan smiled.

"Then let's go together, at least you can get a double portion." Zhao Yali said with a smile on her lips.

"Okay, go and wear a piece of clothing, don't wash up first. Go away as soon as possible. There will definitely be a lot of people later. Then there will be a long queue."

"Ah!" Zhao Yali noticed that she was still wearing pajamas, her face turned slightly red, and she quickly closed the door.

The woman was slow to wear clothes. When she got dressed and opened the door, it had been ten minutes since she was about to wear clothes. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to have dressed up for a while.

Luo Yuan smiled bitterly and went out with her. As soon as he walked out of the building, even though he was mentally prepared, Luo Yuan was shocked.

The community was crowded with people. He had never discovered that there were so many people in this community. These people seemed to be gathering into a huge stream of people under the guidance of an invisible force, flowing slowly towards the gate of the community.

The residents with private cars kept pressing the horns, but couldn't move in the crowded crowd. Some wise people opened the car door and got out and walked along with the abortion.

These people were carrying vegetable baskets and washbasins, and even dragging a suitcase, but most of them were like Luo Yuan, with empty hands.

I originally thought that the crowd in the community was already spectacular, but when I walked on the street, I realized that this was nothing.

It was like rivers entering the sea. As we continued to move forward, countless small streams of people continued to flow into the streets, and the entire street was almost gradually filled with people. Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali were squeezed around in the crowd, and they didn't have to walk at all, and their bodies were automatically pushed forward by the streams.

He usually only watched this kind of scene on TV, but unexpectedly it happened around him.

"It's so lively!" Zhao Yali said with a little excitement, as if she was happy: "In the past, I always felt that this city was very cold. There were so many people in the city, and there were only three or four good relationships? It made people feel very lonely. I didn't expect it to be so lively, just like what my mother said when she was a child."

Luo Yuan shook his head, unable to understand: "You are lively at that time. If I had known so many people, I would not have come. When will it be our turn if this continues."

He regretted it.

"Maybe it's my feelings that I'm about to leave this city. I thought I would stay in this city for the rest of my life, marry a husband, have a child... I didn't expect to go back in the end." Her expression was low, and her eyes quickly became moist.

"Don't think about sad things. In fact, the countryside is not safe now. There are many mutant beasts. You should advise your parents to move to the city or town, at least be safer."

"Yeah, but thank you. If you didn't help me, I wouldn't be able to hold on." Zhao Yali looked at Luo Yuan gratefully and said.

"I just said thank you and saw you. Why do you say that, we have rented it together for so long?" Luo Yuan smiled and said.

"No matter what, you must contact us often in the future!" Zhao Yali said seriously.

"It's like a separation from life and death. I'll send you back tomorrow and I'll talk about it when you get home." Luo Yuan was a little taboo about Zhao Yali's words and quickly interrupted.

The two chatted and walked, and time passed quickly. In an hour, the abortion finally rushed to the door of the nearest farmers' market.

Two rows of fully armed armed police stood upright, holding automatic rifles in their hands to maintain order in the team. Under the deterrence of the armed police, the crowd was slightly turbulent, but soon calmed down again.

Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali rushed into the market with the crowds. Various facilities in the market had been removed and replaced by a large number of materials piled up. A yellow warning belt circled the market in a circle, and every meter, there was a fully armed armed police guarding it.

Every five meters, a simple iron trading window similar to a police booth was set up. There were more than 100 trading windows along the road. If the other three sides were added, there were four or five hundred trading points.

But even with so many trading points, the movement of people is extremely slow.

There were too many people, and the air seemed stuffy and hot. After just over ten minutes, he and Zhao Yali were already sweating profusely.

He is fine, after all, he is strong and has never been sick since he has the system. His recovery speed is far beyond ordinary people in terms of physical strength and energy, but Zhao Yali is not good. I'm afraid they will have heatstroke before it's their turn.

"Why don't we squeeze in front?" Luo Yuan said.

"I'm afraid I can't squeeze in, right?" Zhao Yali used her hand as a fan, trying to cool herself up. She looked at the crowded crowd and was eager to try.

"Leave it to me, grab my hand?" Luo Yuan said.

When Zhao Yali was hesitating, her hand was caught by Luo Yuan, and then her body was pulled by him and she squeezed forward.

Luo Yuan was extremely strong, and he was close to eleven o'clock, almost five times that of a normal person. He also acted quickly and had quick eyes and hands. His body was like a swimming fish, constantly moving towards the gap between the crowd.

There were complaints around, but such behaviors were everywhere among the crowd, and Luo Yuan was not obvious. Chinese people have a high tolerance for this behavior. In fact, most office workers do not have a day of dealing with squeezing cars.

After a while, Luo Yuan pulled Zhao Yali and finally squeezed to the first trading window.

"Why do I have so many fewer than others? Are you wrong?" said an elderly middle-aged woman.

"Because you are not a local household registration, please look at the bulletin board outside for details." The young waitress sitting behind the computer said impatiently: "Don't take up the place, come next."

The middle-aged woman wanted to argue, but was quickly pushed away from behind.

"I want everything, give me the biggest share." A bald man with a huge gold necklace on his head and neck shouted loudly, waving a stack of banknotes.

"Each person is limited to purchase the share of three days with his ID card, and you need to purchase the rest in three days." The service staff glanced at the stack of banknotes and said lightly.

"Whether you can make some peace, money is not a problem." The bald man shouted.

"This is impossible. The policy stipulates a total of 200!" The service staff explained.

"It seems that I can only buy it at the black market!" The bald man muttered, after paying the bill, he took the two large plastic bags handed over by a staff member at the window.

At this time, it was finally Luo Yuan's turn. He took out his ID card and 200 yuan, handed it to the waiter, and asked, "It's also a three-day payment."

The service staff took the money and ID card, entered the computer, and soon someone handed over two bags.

When Zhao Yali bought the good things, he took Zhao Yali's bag and the two of them squeezed out of the market with difficulty.

"I've squeezed my sweat all over, and finally came out and suffocated me to death?" Zhao Yali let go of the hand holding Luo Yuan's arm, looked at the still dark crowd behind, and said with lingering fear.

“Look at what’s inside?”

"The rice is packed in one bag, which seems to be only five pounds, and the other bag is packed in one pound of meat, two pounds of vegetables, three apples, five pounds of drinking water, oh, three pieces of chocolate and a small bag of milk candy." Luo Yuan pointed and said.

"It's so bad. It costs two hundred yuan. This money is becoming less and less valuable. I'm afraid it was less than fifty yuan before!" Zhao Yali said in a striking manner.

"It's already very cheap, what else do you want? At least it's much cheaper than the black market." Luo Yuan said disapprovingly. The black market situation he knew was that the grain in the black market has now risen to twenty-five yuan per pound, and meat is even more expensive, at least one hundred yuan per pound. At this price, there is no place to buy it. In this way, two hundred yuan is already very cheap.

"That's because the government restricts purchases. How can it be so bad? The government is robbing money crazy. Fortunately, I'm going home, otherwise I can't afford to live in the city?" She said angrily. She worked as a clerk in a foreign-funded company and her monthly salary is no more than 3,000 yuan. Even if the company does not go bankrupt, it will be difficult for her to support herself at such prices.

"That's true!" Luo Yuan smiled, but his smile was a little bitter.

What can be done in rural areas?

Eight days ago, Captain Chen from Gaotang Town Police Station called him to store some food and prepare for it. He didn't say much at the time, but his words were filled with solemnity.

Luo Yuan was curious and went to Gaotang Town.

After large-scale tree cutting and wasteland burning, the situation in Gaotang Town is very stable and there is no abnormality.

But when he walked to the intersection, he discovered a strange phenomenon. The farmland in Gaotang Town had replanted rice for a season. Although the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated and it is still winter, due to abnormal climate, rice should be very lush like other plants.

But this was not the case. He saw that the rice fields were overgrown with weeds, growing very lushly and densely, growing two or three inches higher than rice. The living space of rice was already occupied by weeds, and even sunshine could not be obtained and could not compete with it.

He asked an old farmer who was passing by and learned that this weed could not be removed with pesticides at all, and he could only use the old methods to slowly pull it into the farmland. However, now there are insects and snakes everywhere in the fields, and they are poisonous and fierce. No one dared to do this and could only let it be discarded.

He was shocked at that time and was in a daze. He didn't even know how he came back, but only knew that the world was about to change.

……………………………………

At twelve:30 noon the next day, Luo Yuan and Zhao Yali were fined.

Luo Yuan took her two boxes, walked out of the community, called a taxi, and drove towards the station.

"Why are you holding a wooden box?" Zhao Yali looked at the things in Luo Yuan's hand and asked curiously.

"A handicraft." Luo Yuan smiled.

"Actually, you don't need to give gifts, this will cause them to misunderstand." Zhao Yali was obviously misunderstood and said powerlessly. If Luo Yuan brought the gift to the door, I'm afraid that her parents wouldn't believe it no matter how she explained it.

"You've made a mistake. This is not a gift. I forgot the gift. I won't buy it when I get to the train station." Luo Yuan replied with a smile.

"Don't buy it, otherwise I will have a headache for a long time." Zhao Yali quickly stopped it, but forgot to ask what was inside the wooden box?

"Are you going home to meet your parents? If you buy a gift, it's better to give a bag of rice. The expectant mother-in-law will definitely be happy." The driver said as he joined in the fun after hearing the conversation.

Two red glows quickly flew on Zhao Yali's face.

"Actually, we are just ordinary boyfriends and girlfriends, so she is afraid of misunderstandings." Seeing Zhao Yali's face turned red, Luo Yuan rescued.

"I think it's too soon, of course my wife and I are here. Where are you going? I mean, where are you taking the train?" the driver asked.

"Yushui City!" Luo Yuan didn't want to talk much, and said concisely.

"Yushui City, is there a place in Yushan?" the driver suddenly asked.

"Yes, Yushan is right next to Yushui City, a very famous tourist destination, driver, have you ever been there?" Zhao Yali said excitedly when she talked about her hometown.

"I haven't played it before, but you have to be careful. My friend said that many people have died there recently, and even armored vehicles have entered and fired a day's gun." The driver said seriously.
