Rise From The Doom Chapter 4
Compared to the area in front of him that was like a ghost, this place was like a different world, with bright lights and many people coming and going. This street was not big, but it was the only commercial street in the vicinity. To the left was the slave district, and to the right was the slums.The formation of the commercial street lies in purchasing power.Biscuit, canned food, steamed buns, steamed buns, ham … These things that were eaten as snacks before the apocalypse had now become the staple food, and they were all luxurious foods. Because of the radiation, there was almost no place on Mars for cultivation or breeding. All the food was now grown in the greenhouse and produced indoors. Anything that ate, even a peanut, had become a rarity.
Liu Wei An had always been below the poverty line. Today, he had unexpectedly obtained 255 copper coins. Adding the 6 copper coins he had saved up, he had earned a total of 261 copper coins. This was his most prosperous period in the past three months.10 copper coins for a bun, Liu Wei An took 10 in one go, 8 copper coins for a compressed biscuit, 10 copper coins for a bun, the rest of the money he had left was all energy tubes, 5 copper coins for a tube, a total of 16 copper coins.One had to thank the game Plunder, the money inside and the real world were universal. The credit crisis was also a very important factor in the opening of the Apocalypse War. After the establishment of the three empires, the currency was unified, and the paper money, which was maintained on the basis of reputation, was cancelled. At present, there were basically three types of currency on the market: gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins.Although most people chose to hibernate after nightfall due to the cold, those who were very hungry could not be excluded. In the dark of the night, there were countless sins that happened every night, and people like Liu Wei An, who didn't even have an ID card, would not even be able to ask about it if something happened.Even though society was technologically advanced and civilization had advanced, this place was like a chaotic world to them. Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way. Liu Wei An felt that it was still too early. If there were still people wandering outside after ten o'clock, basically, something would happen.Back in the bas.e.m.e.nt, as expected, the lights in the room were turned off. Liu Wei An turned on the lights and Zhao Xin immediately saw the food in his hands. The steamed bun was still warm and his eyes lit up."Eat." Liu Wei An grabbed a steamed bun and started to eat. Although the steamed bun that he had not tasted for a long time was not as delicious as the one cooked on Earth, for someone who had drunk three months' worth of energy pipe, it was still an incredible delicacy.Zhao Nannan looked at Liu Wei An without moving. How could she not know the difference between Steamed Bun and the energy pipe? However, in the end, it was no match for the hope in Zhao Xin's eyes. She felt a burst of sadness in her heart and silently grabbed a bun. When Zhao Xin saw her mother make a move, she lightly cheered. She quickly grabbed a bun and started to eat. Her face was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a happy smile.The energy contained in the energy tube could only ensure one's survival. There were also a lot of trace elements that the human body needed that were impossible to provide. After all, the price of the energy tube determined the quality of the food.Zhao Nannan stopped eating after eating a bun. Seeing that her mother had stopped eating, Zhao Xin also stopped eating. Liu Wei An had already finished his second meal. He raised his head to look at Zhao Nannan and said softly, "Eat, in the game, I am already on the right path, there is no need to go hungry."
Zhao Nannan hesitated for a moment and then grabbed another bun. She knew her daughter very well. If she didn't eat it, she wouldn't eat it either. He was both touched and sad at the same time. He lowered his head so that Liu Wei An wouldn't see his red eyes. Zhao Xin happily grabbed another bun.
After eating three steamed buns, Liu Wei An returned to his bed. He thought for a while, grabbed his helmet and logged into the 'Plunder' game. Zhao Nannan glanced at him in surprise but did not say a word. Usually, Liu Wei An would drag his fatigue to sleep, but today seemed very different.The bed was an old-fashioned iron frame bed, divided into two bunks. Liu Wei'an slept on the bottom bunk, while Zhao Nannan and her daughter slept on the top bunk. After Zhao Xin finished eating, Zhao Nan packed up the rest of the food and pulled Zhao Xin onto the bed. The 1.2m bed was a little narrow, but Zhao Nan felt an unprecedented warmth.Entering the game, it was also night in the game. The time in the world of demon beasts and the world of humans seemed to be synchronized, and the sky and the sun were present during the day, with 24 hours a day. The only difference was that the night moon in the world of demon beasts was red, making it look extremely demonic.Due to his physical fitness, Liu Wei An always logged on during the day. At night, he could only maintain his physical strength for an average of six hours. Seven hours was his limit. It was also his first time going online at night.
The night in Stone City was much calmer than during the day, and the traffic was reduced by more than half. Some shops were also closed, and many people were carrying torches as they left the city or entered the city. Liu Wei An did not have much time to pay attention to this, and hurriedly left, followed by moonlight. He had been in the direction of the cemetery many times to avoid getting lost.
The farther away from the city, the fewer pedestrians there were. After walking for about 10 kilometers, there was no one left on the road. It was pitch black in the wilderness, with only trees showing the shadow of their eyes. The bugs were happily crying in the gra.s.s, but the occasional bird's scream was quite scary.
When he pa.s.sed by a forest, Liu Wei An stopped and started to chop down trees. The forest was made of iron-colored poplar, and there were only about a hundred of them. Iron poplar wood, tough wood with elasticity, is the best material for making bows.Ancient books have a cloud: the making of the bow to dry, horn, tendons, glue, silk, paint and other materials, also known as' six. The doer, who thinks far and wide, the horn, the disease, the sinews, the deep, the glue, the silk, the solid, the lacquer, and the frost.Dry, including a variety of wood and bamboo; used to make the main body of a bow arm, multilayered. The performance of dry wood plays a decisive role in the performance of the bow. Dry wood with Zephyr as the top, secondary wood, oak trees, bamboo as the bottom. The horn, or animal horn, is made into a thin slice that is attached to the inside of the bow arm (abdomen). The best way to make a bow is to use a bull's horn. The horn is white, medium green, and undeveloped. The length of the horn is about five inches (nearly fifty centimeters), and the color of the bow is three colors. This is the best horn for a cow to wear a cow "(the price of a horn is the equivalent of a cow, so it is called a cow to wear a cow). The tendons, the animal tendons, lie on the outside (back) of the arcuate arm. The role of tendons and horns. Both of them increased the elasticity of the bow arm, allowing the arrow to shoot faster and deeper. Choosing tendons must be small and long, big and round and smooth. Glue, i.e., animal glue, used to bind dry materials and h.o.r.n.y tendons. The book recommends six kinds of gum, such as deer gum, horse gum, beef gum, rat gum, fish gum, rhino gum and so on. The preparation method of glue "generally is to put animal skin and other animal tissue (especially muscle cavity) in the water boiling, or add a small amount of lime alkali, and then filter, steaming thick." According to the experience of later generation bow making, fish tissue, especially the palatine endothelium and fish fat were the best. In recent times, Chinese archers used fish glue to make an important part of the bow, that is, the bearing capacity of the bow. However, it was not very important to use the hide gum in other areas, such as covering the skin. Silk, that is, silk thread, will be the angle of the bow by the tendons of the silk threads tightly entwined, making it more solid. The colour and l.u.s.ter of the choice silk must be as bright as if it were in water. Paint, will be made of the bow arm paint, to prevent the erosion of dew moisture, and the need to choose paint color clear.
It would take a long time for him to make a good bow with complicated craftsmanship. Obviously, Liu Wei An didn't have that kind of time, so the bow he made was the simplest kind.
Unlike the first time, it took two whole days for the bow to be completed. Next was the arrow, a sharp arrow, and in terms of craftsmanship, it was not that simple. However, Liu Wei An needed a one-time arrow, so the requirements were not as strict.
However, although it was a one-time use, the materials couldn't be sloppy. Liu Wei An knew that bamboo wasn't bad, but since there weren't any in this area, he could only choose a wooden pole.The hardness of iron poplar is enough, but the elasticity will affect the accuracy. Liu Wei An walked eastwards along the familiar road for about three miles. The lush forest seemed eerie. If he hadn't been here many times, he really wouldn't dare to come in here alone.After carefully examining the tree for a moment, his eyes lit up. Taking a few steps forward, he drew his saber and hacked down five to six finger-sized saplings. He then picked up the sapling and ran. This black cloth in the middle of winter was too frightening. The startled bird flapped its wings as if it was right behind him. Liu Wei An didn't even turn back, only stopping when he reached the road. He took a few deep breaths and started to make arrows.This was an iron birch tree. It was as hard as iron and as straight as a spear. It was difficult for it to grow big. If not for the sharpness of the dagger, it would have been difficult for it to cut them down. A small sapling could be cut into four arrows, exactly twenty-four of them. He would peel and polish them, remove all unnecessary things, and finally install the nail knife from the rotting corpse's hand. One arrow was already completed.
The arrowheads of the twenty arrows were carrion nails, the arrowheads of the first arrow were animal bones, and the rest of the arrows were nothing.After the bow crafting was completed, the next step was to kill the monsters. Liu Wei An hesitated for a moment before he set off towards the cemetery. It was a dark night. To be honest, he was a bit scared when he went to the cemetery alone.There were clearly more monsters in the dark night than during the day. They scurried around, including the leopard, lynx, dog, and wolf … Liu Wei'an didn't have the confidence to hit them, so he carefully avoided them one by one. About an hour and forty minutes later, they entered the cemetery. It was obvious that the moonlight in the sky was even darker and silent.Because of the corpse aura, almost no living being liked to live inside it. Liu Wei An wasn't used to having no insects to call out, so he gritted his teeth and strode inside.Remember that this book starts with a domain name:
