Forced Evolution of the End Times

Looking at the gray sky outside, it was estimated that it was only around four o'clock, Wen Ran got up quietly to prepare the meal, took a casual bite and prepared to go shopping during the morning market.

He hesitated when going out, left a note on the coffee table, and decided to hurry up and come back before Yuan Yao woke up.

Wen Ran didn't have a lot of cash in his hand, so he took his salary card to the ATM outside the community to check the balance. He never spent money extravagantly, but after working for more than five years, he only saved [-] yuan with salary and bonus. Feeling stuck, Wen Ran took out half of it cruelly, and murmured in his heart, if nothing happened, he would not starve to death, but would die of poverty, but deep down he still hoped that nothing would happen.

It took 10 minutes to take a taxi to the largest grain and oil wholesale market nearby. I don’t know if it was earlier or for other reasons. There were not many cars in the market today. The market is deserted and empty, and it looks very depressed.Wen Ran has been here a few times, but they were all with others, not very familiar with the environment here, and observed the shops on both sides while walking.

The scale of the shops here is very large, and Wen Ran passed by and visually inspected that they are basically more than 500 square meters.The grain and oil wholesale market sells a variety of things. There are special rice shops and edible oil shops. There are dozens of types of rice sold in them—indica rice, japonica rice, glutinous rice, etc., some of which Wen Ran has never heard of. .In addition to these, vegetables and all kinds of frozen meat are also sold here, and there are quite a few of them. It is the first time Wen Ran knows that the grain and oil market also sells these two things.

City h is the largest financial center in the country, one of the best international metropolises in the country, with a large base population plus a large number of floating population, the per capita area here is less than 18 square meters, which can be said to be very expensive, so the agriculture and manufacturing industry in city h are quite underdeveloped , Food and daily necessities are almost entirely dependent on the wholesale of other provinces, so the wholesale market here has a relatively large amount of goods coming in and out, basically trucks deliver goods to various points in the city or shopkeepers in need come here for large quantities of wholesale orders.

Wen Ran was a little dazzled after looking at it for a while. Due to the large scale of the area, it was divided into several areas - grain trading market, grain storage area, grain and oil processing area, vegetable and meat cold storage area, and agricultural product trading area.Wen Ran only knew that he was in the grain trading market, but it was too big to find a clue.

As she was turning around in a hurry, the sound of a car's horn honking came from behind her. Wen Ran was startled, and left behind a half truck not far behind. Even though it was not blocking the road, she still leaned towards the side of the road.The car didn't pass quickly but honked its horn a few more times. Wen Ran looked over strangely, a young man with a smiling face popped out from the driver's window and shouted at him: "Where do you want to go? I'll take you a while."

Wen Ran hesitated for a moment, although he was unwilling to take a stranger's car, but relying on his own legs, he would probably be exhausted to find a place, so he decided to compromise.

"thank you."

Wen Ran got into the car and thanked the man, the young man waved his hand, "You look strange, you don't come here often, where are you going?"

Wen Ran told him the purpose of coming here, this man looks like someone who works here, with his help, he can avoid detours.

The young man was amused when he finished saying "Puchi", "You are really lucky, come with me, our store is recognized for its full range of goods and fair prices."

Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, Wen Ran bumped into the seller by mistake, and Wen Ran's restless mood also stabilized, and he started talking with that person.The young man's name is Chen Ce, and he works in a store here. He met Wen Ran who was hesitating on the road just after delivering the goods and came back from the urban area.

A few minutes later, they stopped at the entrance of the largest wholesale store here. Before the two of them got out of the car, they saw a tall and thin man standing there on the phone as if complaining. Seeing the car slowly parked at the door, his face was even more ugly. , put down the phone and came to Chen Ce in a few steps, looking at him sullenly, "It's been so long since you came back?"

"Not a few minutes late..." Facing the boss's raging anger, Chen Ce rubbed the back of his head with a smile on his face, "I also found a big customer~"

At this time, the boss also saw Wen Ran, gave him a hard look, put on a professional smile and walked over, "What do you need? Take a look inside." He greeted Wen Ran and walked into the store while talking.

"Don't scold him either. If he hadn't given me a ride, I would still be wandering around the door."

Although Chen Ce looked nonchalant, Wen Ran couldn't help explaining a few words for him, after all, he wasted time because of pulling himself, and Chen Ce looked like a child who didn't grow up.

"It's okay~ The boss picks on me every day for nothing, I'm used to it..."

After saying this, Chen Ce made a face at the boss, and ran to the back quickly, as fast as someone was chasing him.

"This, this brat..." Maybe he was used to him being so inconspicuous, the boss scolded with a smile.

The store has a large area, and bags of various grains and tightly packed boxes are piled up in a mess on the ground.Ignoring the messy goods on the ground, Wen Ran found that this shop sells a full range of things, including rice, flour, vegetable oil, coarse grains, and seasonings for the kitchen.

On the way here, Wen Ran simply planned the things he wanted to buy, took a quick look at them, and found that almost everything on the list was available in the store, so he reported the things he needed to the boss one by one.

Listening to Wen Ran's orders, the smile on the boss's face deepened. Because of the news reported yesterday, the flow of people in the market has been greatly reduced, and the number of orders has also dropped significantly. Although the orders are much smaller than usual, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. ah.

With the active cooperation of the boss and Chen Ce, the items on Wen Ran's order were quickly assembled - 50 bags of 100 kg rice, 100 bags of flour, dozens of boxes of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and seasonings, Wen Ran took [-] The quick money was spent in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the mountains of food in front of him, Wen Ran felt a little troubled. Although these things can be put in the space, how to get them back is a problem.The boss happily collected the money. Seeing the difficulty on his face, he quickly understood his difficulty, and said with the intention of attracting repeat customers, "If you are inconvenient, we can deliver the goods to your door."

Wen Ran's eyes lit up, and the problem was solved.The boss called the vacancy of the truck, and Wen Ran walked around the butcher shop and fruit shop next to him until he ran out of money in his pocket.

Loading was quick and easy. It was less than seven o'clock when Wen Ran arrived downstairs, and the unloading staff piled up the things on the car into the corridor. Wen Ran took all the things into the space when there was no one there, and went upstairs to go home. This procurement operation is officially over.

The room is quiet, the food on the dining table has not been touched, and the bedroom door has not been opened, Wen Ran looks at his watch - 8:20, I can really sleep!Not knowing what to do, Wen Ran stepped into the space.The scene in the space surprised Wen Ran. The proud Immortal Bai Xin turned out to be a good hand at sorting out goods. Bags of grain were neatly stacked. Boxes of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar were placed next to each other. and Bai Xin specially asked him to buy the vacuum-packed cooked chicken and cooked beef in a white-glowing array. With his sense of aura, Wen Ran felt that the array could achieve the effect of refrigeration without any delay. There is no doubt that such a mysterious thing comes from the handwriting of the little fox.

"Is this the only thing?" Bai Xin was a little dissatisfied looking at the supplies piled up in the yard. This little thing is not enough at all.

"These things are enough for me to feed myself for decades, why buy so much?" Wen Ran was quite puzzled.

"I'll use these things when I go out in the future. No one knows what will happen. It's safe to stock up more." Bai Xin didn't bother to explain to him, and tapped the stone table with his front paw, "I'll sell these pieces of jade. Used to buy supplies."

On the table were four jade bracelets of the same size and almost identical, all green, crystal clear and moist.Wen Ran didn't understand jade, but what the little fox brought out was definitely not ordinary.

"This is something that I used to collect boringly, so feel free to sell it."

The little fox is not reluctant at all. In the world of comprehension where there are all kinds of rare and exotic objects, these jades can be seen everywhere. After he was hunted down, he did not know where his storage bag fell. shocked.

Wen Ran put the jade away carefully, and went out of the space. Seeing that Yuan Yao hadn't woken up, he began to practice Lingxin Jue in the living room.

Everything is the same as usual, and no one has noticed that something has begun to change quietly in this inconspicuous corner of this noisy city.

After running the Spiritual Heart Art for a short week, it was already nine o'clock when Wen Ran opened her eyes again, and she stretched her waist a long way, feeling particularly comfortable in her body.There was still no movement in the bedroom at this time, Wen Ran felt a little nervous, something must have happened, was it accidentally injured by a monster yesterday?

Once he started to doubt, he couldn't help but start thinking wildly. After waiting for a while, Wen Ran couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and walked to the bedroom.

He raised his two fingers and knocked a few times, but there was no reaction in the room.At this time, Wen Ran didn't care about any abruptness, and gently pushed the door open.The bedroom door was unlocked, and because Wen Ran moved carefully, he didn't make any sound.Because the curtains were drawn, the light in the room was very dark, Wen Ran tiptoed in and took a look, the heart in his throat immediately eased, Yuan Yaoan was lying on the bed peacefully, looking sound asleep appearance.

Wen Ran heaved a sigh of relief and was about to go out. She just turned around and felt something was wrong. She suddenly turned her head and rushed to the bedside, only to see Yuan Yao's thick eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and Leng Jun's face was covered with thin sweat, as if he was sunk in the bed. Painful expression in nightmare.
