The Rise Of Space Technology

Chapter 177 The Beginning Of The Collapse

The William Li family waited for nearly two hours before returning to their home through the block that was blocked by the lucky team.

The journey that originally only took ten minutes, it took more than two hours, and he was so apprehensive along the way that he didn't even dare to open the car window.

Because now the hatred against Asians is rising rapidly, and people are attacked on the road every day.

The unemployed people are the most easily detonated powder keg. Once people see themselves in the car, they may be beaten up or even killed.

Fortunately, his car has a film, so the inside can't be seen from the outside.

"Try to go out as little as possible in the future, especially when you have children. It's too dangerous now."

When he got home, William Li, who had lingering fears, couldn't help but exhort him.

It's so messy now.

Sustained high unemployment has caused a large number of people to lose their jobs, and society has become extremely turbulent.

But what's really scary is that under the flood of water, soaring prices, coupled with the loss of jobs, make it extremely difficult for people who don't have much habit of saving money.

All kinds of robberies, zero-dollar purchases, and gun battles are staged almost every day, which further exacerbates the turbulent situation. Originally, many stores could open their doors for business, but because there were too many people robbing and zero-dollar purchases, so Almost all of the stores are now closed in large numbers. Smart people moved the goods in the stores early and suffered huge losses.

Now, even the supermarkets that supply everyone with basic daily necessities have begun to be bought at zero yuan, and William and Li have begun to worry about whether he can buy the daily necessities he wants in the supermarkets in the future.

"Should have bought some more things just now."

William Lee couldn't help talking to Alice.

"We can't be like those people, always thinking about doing zero-dollar purchases."

Alice looked at William Lee and said solemnly.

"I don't mean that, I mean supermarkets may be closed for zero-dollar purchases, and we may not be able to buy anything when we have money."

"And now prices are rising fast, maybe tomorrow, prices will be even more expensive."

William Lee quickly explained.

"You're right."

Alice thought for a while and agreed, and now prices are indeed skyrocketing, which is extremely outrageous.

"I feel as if I have returned to the other side of the ocean now, and the purchasing power of this green coin is no different from that there."

"too expensive!"

William Lee said while moving things: "Let's turn the garden at the back into a vegetable field. We can grow some vegetables, and then we can save a lot of money."

"Growing vegetables?"

Alice asked immediately.

"Yes, growing vegetables, how expensive is the price now, and our back garden is not very useful, why not use it to grow vegetables?"

William Lee said.

"No, no~"

"I will never grow vegetables in the back garden. This is something only you can think of. Where is the place for children to play, it is absolutely not allowed to move."

Alice firmly said that she was born and raised here and has her own stubbornness about it.

"Okay~"

William Lee shrugged helplessly.

The next day, William Lee woke up early and couldn't sleep because there was a major shooting in the wealthy area where they were last night.

A group of people broke in and stole the goods, only to be discovered by the owner of the house. There was an exchange of fire between the two sides. The sound of gunfire broke the tranquility of the night, making people unable to sleep at all.

When William Lee came to this house, a large number of people were already watching, including King Paul and Bill Liu.

"That's horrible!"

"A few members of the family were killed except for the child hiding under the bed, and all the valuables in the house were looted, even the food in the kitchen was looted."

Seeing William Lee coming, Paul Wang said in silence for a long time, "This is something that has never happened in our community before."

"What about those jgca?"

"I didn't seem to hear the siren last night."

William Lee thought about it and said.

"There are shootings all over the place now, and they're too busy to come."

"And haven't there been frequent incidents of black and black being shot by jgca recently? They are making troubles everywhere, and these jgca now feel that their income is too low, not enough to support their families, and they are all on the front line of death. So it's also a strike."

Bill Liu thought about it, shook his head and said.

"So, we're not safe here anymore?"

William Lee's expression changed suddenly. The wealthy area has always been very safe. Not only is there a lot of monitoring and patrolling, but the property in the wealthy area is also very good.

But now, it seems as if it has suddenly become unsafe.

"What do you mean, people on the property side are now discussing the matter of increasing the property fee. Because of the soaring prices, their income can no longer support the family expenses, so they think about increasing the property fee, so there is no property at night now. People were patrolling, and this happened."

King Paul said with a wry smile.

"shit~" "grass~"

"The property fee is still going up, hasn't it gone up a few times in the last two months?"

As soon as William Li heard it, he immediately scolded him. The property fee was almost doubled compared to before.

"They say that if they can't get enough to eat, they can't provide quality service."

"That explanation leaves you speechless."

Bill Liu shrugged and said.

"Didn't you say go drive a truck?"

William Li fell silent, thought for a while and asked again.

"Driving a hammer truck, there are too many zero-dollar purchases all over the place, shops are closing in large numbers, trucks are basically at rest, and it's not safe to drive a truck now, and people everywhere are starting to stare at the trucks on the highway to rob. "

"In our group of trucks, several people were robbed. The goods in one truck were robbed so cleanly that even people died."

King Paul said helplessly: "I am unemployed again, and now I don't know what to do?"

"I heard that prices have gone up a lot. I'm ready to go shopping and buy food."

"I just went yesterday. Basically, the price has risen by more than 20%, and some have risen by more than half. However, when I checked out yesterday, I happened to meet a group who bought zero yuan. I guess there may be nothing in the supermarket today."

William Lee said quickly.

"Let's go, let's go, I'm also going to collect some food and supplies."

When King Paul heard this, his face was filled with sadness. Now it's not just that prices have skyrocketed, but that even food and living necessities may not be available.

"I'm going too, and I'm going to buy more for my house. It's really messy now."

William Lee also nodded again and again, and the three of them took a pickup truck and headed for the supermarket.

"Have you read the morning news?"

On the way, the three continued to chat again.

"I did not see."

"Me too~"

"Green coins have plummeted again. The other day, the other side of the ocean announced that they would no longer use green coins to settle energy trade, and gradually implemented that all commodities and trade would no longer use green coins."

"Yesterday, green coins plummeted, and it was announced that they would no longer use green coins as foreign exchange reserves or foreign trade settlements. Today, it continues to fall. In the international currency market, people from various countries and regions are selling green coins in large quantities. The magnitude of today's devaluation is much greater than yesterday."

"The exchange ratio of green coins to fruit coins has reached the level of 1:2."

"What? It's all 1:2?"

When William Lee and Paul Wang heard it, they were dumbfounded. This depreciation was too fast. It only took two days.

"This is just the beginning, and it will definitely continue to plummet in the future. God knows how huge the green currency reserves in the world are. If the status of the international currency cannot be maintained and the green currency is sold, it will be the same as paper. "

"Now it is supported by many allies who are gnashing their teeth. Once they can't support it and start to announce or sell green coins, it will really be the same as paper."

"Over the years, too much money has been printed. People all over the world are not fools. The currency has been depreciating for decades. Everyone knows that it can't go on like this anymore, and it will collapse sooner or later."

"It's just that no one thought that this day would come so quickly."

"In my opinion, the money on hand should be replaced as much as possible with gold or the like to preserve its value."

Bill Liu sighed and continued: "Many of my classmates and friends who work in New York Financial Securities have also lost their jobs on a large scale. Affected by the sharp devaluation of green coins, the current stock market is impossible to see. It is estimated that it is very The market will be closed soon.”

"My parents just bought a house in the city not long ago and sent me money."

William Li was sluggish, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"..."

When King Paul and Bill Liu heard it, they fell silent.

Soon, the three came to the supermarket. Fortunately, the supermarket was still open.

However, when the three came to the supermarket, they were all dumbfounded, because almost all the goods had new price tags on them overnight.

"shit~"

"fuck~"

"Oh my god, even the cheapest pork costs thirteen green coins a pound."

"And this instant noodles, which used to be very cheap. You can buy a lot with a few green coins, but now you need a few green coins for a pack!"

In the supermarket, similar exclamations can be heard everywhere, and prices have risen sharply overnight.

"terrible!"

"When I came yesterday, the price was only half the current price, and it has doubled overnight!"

William Li looked at the price tags on the shelf, and immediately shook his head in amazement. This price increase is too fast and outrageous.

"Hurry up and buy some important food and living materials, buy more rice and noodles, but also expensive ones. Otherwise, it may rise tomorrow, and it is very likely that even if you have money, you will not be able to buy it."

Bill Liu pushed the shopping cart and started frantically packing bags of rice and food into it.
