Chapter 1, Selling Knives

However

Lin Shan has a naturally quiet disposition

Lin Shan would never hesitate to sacrifice his life for his homeland

Faced with the sudden emergence of various mutated giant ants, human soldiers were momentarily driven back in defeat.

Only then did the enormous abdomen of the red queen ant swell violently, and in the next moment, even the light near its mouth seemed to be distorted, as an invisible massive sound wave was emitted.

For the homeland behind him, and for the phrase "every man has his duty" in the book, he responded to the call of the nation, gave up his current way of life, and joined the front lines in the fight against the monstrous beasts

Today is Labor Day, and the market is exceptionally lively, with a throng of pedestrians. Along both sides of the street, vendors are lined up, warmly greeting the passing customers. They have amiable expressions, yet a glimmer of shrewdness shines in their eyes

The long-range weapons of the urban defense perimeter have also been launched. Although there is no satellite positioning, with the assistance of ground positioning stations, those missiles will not forget where they are supposed to go while in flight

More incredible than the invasion of the异兽.

Everyone found it quite invigorating

South Wind Street Market

Various large weapons were moved out of the ammunition depot as if they were free, and were crazily hurled towards the red weaver ant swarm

That's right

One-stop complete provision

Although e-commerce has captured an increasingly large share of the retail market

Why not look for a job

They arrived here to claim a spot at around 3 a.m. today, but unfortunately, they still did not secure a large area, only three meters wide, because there were others who arrived even earlier and had been waiting here since last night

Finished speaking

11 o'clock in the morning

Each red arboreal giant ant is larger than a horse. Although its name contains the character 'ant', its appearance is quite different from that of the ants on Earth. They are both multi-legged, and their social structure is similar to that of Earth's ants, which is why they have been given this name

Before him stood a young man named Lin Shan, with a display of various knives laid out on the stall.

The chubby man, with a dark expression, had no choice but to repeat it once more

The fat man is named Qi Rui

The weapons in the combat zone are concentrated within two kilometers in front of the outer defense.

Invasion of the异兽

It is merely less than half an hour

He remembers being in the northwest war zone of the Beast Star at that time

Can your reasoning be any worse? At least my buddy is a being with a positive IQ, but Lin Shan has been absent-minded all along, perhaps due to being in a bad mood, and Fat Qi did not refute him either

Jingshan City

It is simply because he does not wish to be constrained

However, the sound waves and shockwave weapons, which are the most lethal to exotic beasts, are completely ineffective against the Red-Backed Giant Ant

"Qi Fatty, can you change to another song?" The vendor next to him helplessly advised...

"Take a stroll, have a look, direct sales from the manufacturer..." A slightly plump young man shouted loudly, and while you might think shouting is enough, he even infused it with a melody, combining it with the catchy song from the hottest group of the moment

The two people had no choice but to squeeze together

Is it necessary to think about it for an entire morning

Qi Fatty then turned to a young man at the adjacent stall and said: "Lin Shan, why are you still in a daze? Aren't you going to do business?"

Lin Shan has been reborn

The young man called 'Lin Shan' looked up at his neighbor, who was smiling happily, and said with a puzzled expression: "What did you just say?"

Parallel world

Humanity seeks to prevent

this era

Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst

Among them

He can live in a carefree manner, drifting along without concern for matters that do not affect him

bustling and lively

Sitting upright in a camouflaged lounge chair, lost in thought, this situation has persisted since morning. Qi Fatty has asked many times, but Lin Shan always replies: I am thinking about what to have for lunch.

Or rather, since the moment of his disorientation that morning, Lin Shan has not cared about this trivial business anymore; whether people buy or not, he has no interest in stopping anyone who takes something without paying.

Watching the red ant king suddenly emerge from deep within the forest

the year 2023

It is nothing but a battlefield

Lin Shan

The development of events, however, is becoming increasingly unsettling

The stall is run by his neighbor, and the place where he lives is also with a neighbor, sharing a two-bedroom apartment.

They are inherently immune

Many mutated species have emerged among those red-nest giant ants

The invasion of strange beasts is at least a matter of spatial dimensions; he has studied physics and can understand a bit of it. However, this pertains to the dimension of time, something that even humanity two hundred years from now will be unable to grasp.

Everyone struggles for a living, which is not easy

Tsk tsk

At that time, the artillery fire was intense

After listening

Lin Shan directly rolled his eyes, lowered his head to feign sleep, and ignored this guy

The red ant swarm charged right up to the outer defense perimeter of the human soldiers

However, the online store's business is virtually non-existent, so he also sets up a stall every day and visits the Nanfeng Street market twice a month

Wherever you want to go, there is no need to worry about time, no need to take leave, and you can sleep until you wake up naturally. He was quite carefree in his youth, but it was not until he joined the military and served the country that he gradually changed his way of life

Originally, each person had a space of 1.5 meters, but due to the need for Qi Rui to hang his merchandise, which not only occupied space but also required more room, Lin Shan only requested a width of 1 meter, leaving the remaining 2 meters for Qi Rui

However, humanity is in peril

The melee has begun

In normal circumstances, an electromagnetic railgun can penetrate dozens of red giant ants, but those mutated species possess astonishing defensive capabilities. With a single shot, it can at most kill one, and that must be a vital area.

Because his soul comes from the year 2239, two hundred years later, it is also himself and not someone else's body.

I enjoy doing things quietly

At this moment

A multifunctional knife, a kitchen knife, a spring knife, a utility knife, a dagger, a pencil knife, a nail clipper, and an ear scoop are all included, making it quite comprehensive. When stepping out, both personal grooming and self-defense equipment are readily available

Gazing at the horizon

Because there are no choices

This matter was immediately reported to the headquarters of the Earth Federation. Soon, the Earth Federation ordered the activation of the emergency plan, and reinforcements from the human urban area located three thousand kilometers away were on their way to Earth.

In times of peace

There is no way.

Cannot

May 1

However

All shells are designed specifically for the beasts of the Beast Star, possessing astonishing lethality. If at a distance of one kilometer, smart weapons may be manageable, but some indiscriminate weapons could very likely harm our own personnel

At a stall

A sense of collective belonging arises naturally, as humans are inherently social animals

I am ready to make a significant profit during the holiday.

All human soldiers were somewhat bewildered, and Lin Shan was no exception. He knew that things had escalated significantly; this red weaver ant queen was thousands of times larger than the largest red weaver giant ant he had seen before

However, there is simply no time to react

Before his rebirth, for Lin Shan, who was then a Major General of the Earth Federation and the Deputy Commander of the War Zone, soon to be promoted to Commander of the War Zone with the rank of Lieutenant General, all of this was equally incredible

However, it cannot replace the joy of shopping for people; physical stores offer an irreplaceable experience that online shops cannot provide, allowing these vendors to have a space for survival, as they can feel the 'popularity'.

This is Linshan

Individuals are exceptionally powerful

The muddy ground was plowed over and over again by intense artillery fire, with shells flying everywhere and green blood splattered all around. However, the red-nest giant ants seemed to emerge endlessly, surging madly from the beast star forest filled with towering trees.

Human soldiers are engaged in battle with tens of millions of red nesting giant ants

What do you want to eat

Immediately following

The Red Ant Emperor unleashed a talent skill with an extremely long attack range

At the age of twenty-five, he was in the prime of his youth. He was still a 'freelancer' and, after graduating from university, returned to Jingshan City, where he opened a Taobao store specializing in knives.

It is the vendor next to Qi the Fatty

As the supreme commander of over two million human soldiers, Lin Shan has been closely monitoring the battle. He had encountered swarms of red weaver ants before and thought that this time it was merely a matter of their large numbers

The red ant emperor, towering over 500 meters, is simply a violation of strength

In their twenties

To alleviate the pressure on the front lines

In any case, it does not affect his business
