This town, which did not seem to be big, was crowded, and all manner of shouts could be heard from within.
“Machetes forged from refined steel, Guan Yu sabers, axes, every weapon under the sun! Barter trades only! 50 kilograms of rice and weapons for you to choose from!”
“The Brotherhood Alliance is recruiting. Join us! Three meals are included, and there is a chance to have sex every week!”
“The Gate of Seven Kills is recruiting brothers. Join us and you’ll be accompanied by a woman on the weekends and holidays, and your monthly salary will be 100 kilograms of rice!”
“The Steel Tubes Brigade is recruiting as well! Handsome men with great strength and a strong body are preferred!”
“The pig farm is recruiting people. You know, money is not a problem for us.”
“The First Bandit Group is looking forward to your applications. As long as you are strong enough, you can enjoy the pleasures of life!”
Other than that, Wang Mang also saw that most of the people in the town were armed with sticks and sharp weapons.
It was a lively scene, but in a completely unexpected way.
Even the people who looked gentle seemed to have become ferocious, and many elderly people and children were looking around vigilantly.
Most importantly, Wang Mang discovered something important!
Money was worthless! No one used it!
From this, it could be seen that society had undergone a huge change!
In fact, what Wang Mang did not know was that the situation in many prosperous cities were even more exaggerated. Many people had fled the major cities to the countryside and rural areas, believing it to be safer there.
Naturally, the best choice in this case for most of them would be to return to their ancestral hometowns, where they knew people and had family members.
In addition to that, Wang Mang could even see people robbing others openly.
There were even many women in the alleys who were plying that ancient trade. It was as if the society had degenerated into the feudal era of the past.
At this moment, a young man with a machete walked up to Wang Mang with bright eyes.
“Brother, have you joined any forces yet?”
“Our Machete Sect is currently recruiting people!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang came back to his senses.
Looking at the young man who looked like a street gangster, Wang Mang was left speechless.
However, Wang Mang still wanted to know why things had degenerated to this level even though news of the apocalypse had not been announced.
Thinking this, Wang Mang could not help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid of being caught?”
The young man with the machete looked at Wang Mang strangely.
“Brother, did you just get out of jail? You seem to be completely out of touch with society.”
Hearing this, Wang Mang did not get angry. He simply calmly nodded and asked, “Can you tell me what happened?”
Seeing Wang Mang nod his head, the young man with the machete in his hand, his eyes immediately lit up as he said excitedly, “Brother, if you managed to get yourself released from jail at such a young age, it proves that you are an outstanding talent!”
“The boss of our Machete Gang likes such talents!”
Wang Mang’s expression darkened as he steered the conversation back in the direction he wanted.
“What I’m asking you is what happened during the past few months?”
“Tell me that first, then 1 will consider whether to join your Machete Sect!”
Hearing this, the young man with the machete nodded and said,
“It’s a long story.”
“Then make it short,” Wang Mang said with a dark face.
“Basically, after the demons ran amok, the world began to turn chaotic.”
“Do you know about the super meteorite incident not long ago? If it weren’t for our Red Empire’s Guardian Beast, Earth would have been destroyed! After this incident, the empires around the world became even more uneasy.”
“To put it bluntly, the world has long been in chaos!”
“Moreover, the sun and moon were in the same sky some time ago, and now there are black clouds pressing down.”
“Everyone can see that something is happening. No one wants to be taken for a fool. Is it really possible to hide it from everyone? The answer is no!”
“Moreover, there was news not long ago that there would be a catastrophe on Earth.”
“Although I don’t know when, but various forces have started to establish themselves.”
“Brother, do you understand now? When disaster strikes, it’s every man for himself!”
Ah!
It was no wonder these forces and sects openly recruited people.
Everyone in the world was panicking!
“Brother, how about it? Would you consider joining our Machete Sect?”
“The number of members we have has already surpassed a hundred!”
“Among the local forces, we are considered quite a large force.”
Hearing this, Wang Mang asked curiously, “Have we entered an era where food is king and bartering is the only way to trade?”
The young man hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and explaining, “It’s not that things have all gone that way. Every province is different. Most provinces still circulate a special currency.”
At this point, the young man proudly raised his head and said proudly, “Do you want to know what kind of currency is recognized by the people in our province?”
