Doomsday Rise

Compared with the ghosts in front, this place is like another world, with bright lights and people coming and going. This street is not big, but it is the only commercial street in the vicinity for dozens of miles. To the left is the slave area, and to the right is the slum area. Compared with the slaves who have nothing, the purchasing power of the poor is obviously higher.

The formation of the commercial street lies in the purchasing power.

Biscuits, canned food, steamed buns, steamed buns, ham sausage... These things that were eaten as snacks before the end of the war have now become staple foods, and they are luxury foods. Because of the radiation problem, there is almost no place for planting and breeding on Mars. All the food today comes from greenhouse cultivation and indoor production. As long as it is something to eat, even a peanut has become a rare thing now.

Liu Wei'an has always been below the poverty line. Today, he got 255 copper coins by accident. Adding the 6 copper coins he had originally saved, he has a total of 261 copper coins. This is the time when his family has the richest money in the past three months, but it is far from being squandered.

Liu Weian took 10 steamed buns at 10 copper coins each, compressed biscuits 8 copper coins each, and took 10 yuan. The rest of the money was all energy tubes, 5 copper coins each, 16 tubes in total. When he returned, there was only one copper plate left in his pocket.

Thanks also to the 'loot' game, the money in it is the same as in the real world. It is worth mentioning that the credit crisis was also a very important factor for the start of the War of the End Times. After the establishment of the three empires, they unified the currency and canceled the banknotes maintained by credit. Today, there are basically three types of currency in circulation in the market, gold coins, silver coins, and copper plates. However, copper plates and silver coins are basically the main ones, and gold coins are relatively rare.

Passing through the dark streets, the environment in the slave area is not comparable to the slum area. Although most people choose to hibernate because of the cold after nightfall, those who are extremely hungry cannot be excluded. In this dark night, countless crimes happen every night. People like Liu Weian who don't even have an ID card, if an accident happens, no one will even ask.

Although today's society is advanced in technology and civilization, but here, it is like a chaotic world. Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way. Liu Wei'an felt that it was still early. If there were still people wandering outside after ten o'clock, they would basically encounter something.

Back in the basement, as expected, the lights in the room were turned off. Liu Wei'an turned on the light, and Zhao Xin saw the food in his hand at a glance. The buns were still hot, and his eyes lit up.

"Let's eat." Liu Wei'an grabbed a steamed stuffed bun and ate it. The long-lost taste, although not as delicious as the ones made on earth, is supremely delicious for a person who has been drinking energy tubes for three months.

Zhao Nannan looked at Liu Weian without moving. How could she not know the difference between buns and energy tubes? However, after all, the hope in Zhao Xin's eyes could not be met, and he felt sad, and silently grabbed a bun. Zhao Xin cheered slightly when she saw her mother making a move, quickly grabbed a bun, and ate it with a happy smile on her face.

The energy contained in the energy tube can only guarantee that people will not die. There are also many trace elements that the human body needs that cannot be provided. After all, the price determines the quality. Taking energy tubes for a long time will make people useless, and they must supplement food at regular intervals.

Zhao Nannan stopped after eating one bun. Zhao Xin came to see her mother and stopped eating. Liu Wei'an had already finished eating the second one, looked up at Zhao Nannan, and said softly, "Eat, I'm already on the right track in the game, so I don't need to be hungry anymore."

Zhao Nannan hesitated for a moment, and grabbed another steamed bun. She knew her daughter very well, if she didn't eat it herself, she wouldn't eat it either. Feeling moved and sad at the same time, he lowered his head not to let Liu Weian see his red eyes. Zhao Xin smiled happily, and quickly grabbed another bun.

After Liu Weian ate three steamed buns, he returned to the bed, meditated for a while, grabbed his helmet, and entered the game of 'looting'. Zhao Nannan glanced in surprise,

But he didn't speak. Normally, Liu Weian would have fallen asleep exhausted at this point, but today seemed very different.

The bed is an old-fashioned iron frame bed, divided into two bunks, Liu Wei'an sleeps on the lower bunk, Zhao Nannan's mother and daughter sleep on the upper bunk. After Zhao Xin finished eating, Zhao Nannan packed up the leftover food, and pulled Zhao Xin into bed. The 1.2 meter bed was a bit narrow for two people, but Zhao Nannan felt warmer than ever before.

Entering the game, it is also night in the game. The time of World of Warcraft and the human world seem to be synchronized. There is also a sun in the sky during the day, and a day is also 24 hours a day. The only difference is that the moon at night in World of Warcraft is red, which looks very strange.

Due to physical problems, Liu Weian always went online during the day and rested at night. His physical strength could only last six hours on average, and seven hours was already the limit. It was the first time he went online at night.

The night in Stone City was much calmer than the daytime, the flow of people was reduced by more than half, some shops were closed, and many people went out or entered the city with torches. Liu Wei'an didn't have much time to pay attention to these things, and hurried out of the city, followed by the moonlight, although the light was dim, he could barely make out the road. He had been to the direction of the cemetery many times before he got lost.

The farther away from the city, the fewer pedestrians. After walking for about ten kilometers, there was no one to be seen on the road. The wilderness was pitch black, with only trees that looked like shadows. Insects made cheerful calls in the grass, and the occasional screams of birds were quite scary.

When passing by a forest, Liu Weian stopped and began to cut trees. This forest is made of iron poplar, and the number is not much, only more than one hundred. Iron poplar, tough and resilient wood, is an excellent material for making bows.

There is a saying in ancient books: bows are mainly made of stems, horns, tendons, glue, silk, lacquer and other materials, which are also called "six materials". Dry ones are considered far away, horns are considered to be diseased, tendons are considered to be deep, glued ones are considered to be harmonious, silky ones are considered to be solid, and lacquered ones are considered to be exposed to frost and dew.

Dry, including a variety of wood and bamboo; used to make the main body of the bow arm, laminated in multiple layers. The performance of the dry material plays a decisive role in the performance of the bow. The dry wood is made of zhe wood, followed by eucalyptus, eucalyptus, etc., and bamboo is the bottom. The horn, that is, the animal horn, is made into a thin sheet and attached to the inner side (abdomen) of the bow arm. Bows are mainly made of ox horns, with natural white, medium green, and unfeng horns being the best; "the horns are two feet long and five inches long (nearly fifty centimeters), and the three colors are reasonable. It is called a cow wearing a cow." This is the best horn material (the price of one horn is equivalent to a cow, so it is called a cow wearing a cow). Tendons, the tendons of animals, are attached to the outer side (back) of the bow arm. The function of the tendons and horns is to enhance the elasticity of the bow arm, making the arrow more vigorous when it is shot, and the object penetrates deeper. The selected ribs should be small and long, and the large ones should be round and moist. Glue, that is, animal glue, is used to bond dry wood and corner tendons. "Kao Gong Ji" recommends six types of glue: deer glue, horse glue, cow glue, mouse glue, fish glue, and rhinoceros glue. The preparation method of glue is generally to boil animal skin and other animal tissues (especially the muscle cavity) in water, or add a small amount of lime alkali, then filter and steam to thicken. According to the experience of archery making in later generations, isinglass made from fish tissue, especially the inner skin of the palate and fish fat is the best. Later Chinese bowsmiths used isinglass to make the important parts of the bow, that is, the place of bearing force. The silk thread is tightly wound to make it stronger. The selected silk must be bright in color, as in water. Paint, the finished bow arm is painted with varnish to prevent frost, dew, and moisture erosion, and the selected lacquer must be clear in color.

To really make a good bow, the process is complicated and time-consuming. Obviously, Liu Weian does not have such time, so the bow he makes is the simplest kind. The iron poplar wood he cut is roasted into a curved shape with a torch, and then tied with beef tendon, and it is done.

This is the second time to make a bow, and it was completed in just one hour. Unlike the first time, it took two full days. The bow was completed, and the next step is the arrow, a sharp arrow. When it comes to craftsmanship, the bow does not need to be simple. However, what Liu Weian needs are disposable arrows, so there is no need to be so strict.

However, although it is a one-off, the material cannot be sloppy. Liu Wei'an knew that bamboo was good, but there was no bamboo in this area, so he could only choose wooden poles.

Iron poplar is hard enough, but the elasticity will affect the accuracy. Liu Wei'an walked about three miles to the northeast on a familiar road. The dense forest looked gloomy. If he hadn't been here many times, Liu Weian would not have dared to come in alone.

After carefully looking at it for a while, his eyes lit up, he took a few steps forward, drew his knife, and chopped off five or six small saplings the size of fingers, and then picked them up and ran away. This black cloth Londong's is so scary. The fluttering wings of the startled bird seemed to be right behind him. Liu Weian didn't even look back until he reached the main road. After taking a few deep breaths, he began to make arrows.

This is an iron birch tree, as hard as iron and straight as a gun. It is difficult to grow. If the dagger is not sharp, it is really not easy to cut them down. A small sapling can be cut into four arrow shafts, exactly twenty-four. They are peeled and polished, and all unnecessary things are removed. Finally, the nail clippers from the rotting corpse's hand are installed on it, and an arrow has been made.

The arrowheads of the twenty arrows were carrion nails, the arrowheads of one arrow were animal bones, and the other three arrows had nothing to install, so Qin Zhou sharpened them.

After the bow and arrow were made, the next step was to kill monsters. Liu Weian hesitated for a moment, and set off towards the cemetery. In the dark night, going to the cemetery alone, to be honest, was a bit frustrating.

There are obviously more monsters in the night than in the daytime, stalking around, civet cats, bobcats, wild dogs, and wolves... Liu Weian was not sure about shooting them, and carefully avoided them one by one. After about an hour and forty minutes, he entered the cemetery area, and it was obvious that the moonlight in this world was even darker and silent.

It seems that because of the shrouding of the corpse, there are basically no creatures that like to live in it, no monsters running around, no insects screaming, but Liu Weian is not used to it, and there is no one around, so he gritted his teeth and walked in.
