The world enters the age of myth

"Can't you be more restrained, where is the willpower? Where is the willpower?" Lu Yiming faced this fat man who was much taller, with a greedy look on his face, and he was so angry.

As long as he held an apple and dangled it in front of him, the fat man couldn't bear it at all. His laughter came out of the corner of his mouth and he became a little crazy, just like a dog that has been hungry for several days and sees meat and bones...

When Guo Weiqiang faced Lu Yiming's reprimand, he obeyed and said in a low voice: "No, Captain Lu, I can't control it at all... Once I eat, I can't control my mouth, as if I'm hungry. And I'm really hungry now. I also know that this is wrong. Hey, what can I do?"

"Do something else, divert your attention, and control the portion of food. We have no medical treatment at the moment."

A medical expert following behind said: "The special crystals around his heart urgently need more energy for growth, so they urge him to overeat. This is no longer a mental illness, but an instinct." Physiological phenomena.”

"His gastrointestinal digestion ability is much stronger now than before, so he feels hungry."

"In other words, the appearance of this crystal changed his behavior. We still don't know whether this change in behavior pattern is reversible. Perhaps with the advancement of technology and the excavation of more relevant information, we will can treat this.

Lu Yiming frowned. This troublesome disease is really very difficult.

He turned his head and said to Guo Weiqiang: "Forget it, just stay here for a while. Going out will cause trouble."

Human behavior patterns are influenced by genes and memes.

Genes, that is, the innate physiological instincts of human beings, include the two main lines of survival and reproduction. Survival includes eating, drinking, defecating, and peeing, while reproduction includes various instinctive behaviors such as reproduction and aesthetics.

Human beings are born with a love for delicious food, men like beautiful women, and women like handsome men. These are all determined by genes.

Memes are units for the inheritance of cultural information. For example, the law stipulates that certain behaviors are prohibited, morality stipulates that a normal person must respect the elderly and love the young, etc.

These patterns of human behavior are all part of memes. The culture of each country is different, and the way society operates will also be slightly different. Human beings in some places believe that individual interests are greater than collective interests, and people in other places believe that collective interests are greater than freedom.

That's the power of memes.

Genes and memes regulate all aspects of human behavior. Therefore, humans living in the world can never achieve true "great freedom", otherwise they would no longer be human beings, and they would all become unreasonable lunatics.

When Guo Weiqiang heard that he would be locked up here and starved, although he was a little reluctant, he could only reluctantly accept it.

"...Then I'm hopeless? As long as no one controls me, I will overeat? What should I do?!" The fat on Guo Weiqiang's face trembled.

Lu Yiming sighed and said: "...Maybe there is relevant research information in this continent. The original residents here may have a solution...With our own research power, it may take a lot of time to find out the secrets. Long time.”

Although Yunhai has some scientific research talents, compared with a civilization, they are still far from qualified.

In the next few days, it was not just Guo Weiqiang who suffered from this situation. As the more than 300 remaining survivors woke up one by one, they all also suffered from similar overeating.

Especially those who eat very fat food will immediately lose their minds and become aggressive to a certain extent as soon as they smell the aroma of food.

There is no other way. For a guy like this who has difficulty controlling himself, he can only stay in a safe house all day long.

As long as you don't give them too much food, they will appear to be in good spirits.

The recovery of these people has become a big and difficult problem.

…

"Human beings are too weak...both physically and mentally. They are all too weak."

After Ding Yuan learned about this, he privately summoned a few superpowers and held a meeting: "Everyone, we can see from this accident that a small disturbance above the Yang River can make us all Destroy."

"We cannot maintain this state of military alert forever. We have to breathe outside air sooner or later."

"We were able to escape the white fog this time because it has color and can be seen by the eyes. But what if next time it is something that cannot be seen or smelled? Our overall immunity is too poor. "

"So, we must seize every possible opportunity to improve ourselves... The translation of documents and materials may take a certain amount of time, but no matter what, we need a certain amount of manpower to go deep into this continent and explore it for the second time. More classified information.”

After hearing the news, everyone in the conference room looked unhappy.

The situation on this continent is too dangerous.

Horrible creatures born from flesh balls are everywhere, wandering, preying, and even killing each other.

For elite superpowers such as Lu Yiming, Shi Dayong, and Zhong Peng, it is already so difficult to kill just one of them. There is also a certain element of luck. Once again, they boldly explore in depth. It is not an exaggeration to call them a narrow escape.

"What do you think?" Ding Yuan sat in the middle of the table and asked, "Does anyone volunteer to go?"

Zhong Peng coughed for a while, lowered his head and did not answer.

He definitely doesn't want to.

At first, he didn't know about the disaster on this continent, so he could bravely explore it, but now that he knows the truth... he really doesn't have such courage.

He was originally a otaku and didn't care much about the development of society as a whole. Lu Yiming was responsible for many things.

"I think this plan is advisable. We must obtain relevant scientific and technological information... I am willing to go."

The speaker was Shi Dayong, and most of the patients suffering from bulimia were his soldiers. No matter which angle he came from, he had to take the risk.

Moreover, if he is not willing to take a stand, probably no one will be.

"It still depends on the specific location of the laboratory. If it goes thousands of kilometers deep into the mainland, then forget it. How many people go in and how many people die, our Yunhai cannot withstand such heavy damage. If it is near the coastline, barely... You can try it.”

Lu Yiming didn't look very good and said a few words briefly.

In fact, he is not very willing in his heart... Even if the second exploration mission is for the entire collective, what if his life is lost?

Lu Yiming is not the kind of saint who makes selfless sacrifices, his life must still come first.

"I agree with Lu Yiming's point of view." Liu Xuwei sat there in a daze, and he was not willing... For him, Yunhai is already a paradise. Isn't it nice to pick up girls every day? If you have to go deep into the continent to fight monsters, it is simply a suicide attempt!

Of course, if the reward given is enough and the risk can be tolerated, he is actually okay.

Liu Xuwei is really too poor. Before the apocalypse, he was a second-generation rich man who was used to spending a lot of money and could not live a hard life. Rather than living a poor life, it is better to take risks and try something.

"I have no problem." Li Yao raised his hand and said nothing more. He and Shi Dayong were professional soldiers in the special forces, and they still had some sense of honor.

Ding Yuan could probably guess the psychological activities of everyone. Except for the two professional soldiers, most people had some thoughts in their minds.

He sighed and said: "There is no rush in this matter. After all, it involves everyone's life safety... So, let's wait for the final data deciphering results, and then we have to make some military preparations." Maybe after some time, this white mist will disperse directly, and this continent will enter a safe period again?"

"But I still hope that you can be mentally prepared. The second expedition mission is not for other things, but for...our future!"

"We, the Unkai, must become stronger before we can have a real future."

"If it really doesn't work...I can also play."

The meeting ended without a clear result, and Lu Yiming was not in a very good mood.

He also had some psychological baggage, so he and Zhong Peng took the elevator back to Community 56 under his jurisdiction with a not-so-easy pace.

As soon as I walked out of the elevator door, I heard the greetings of "Captain Lu" and "Captain Zhong".

Obviously, people are full of respect for Lu Yiming and Zhong Peng who came back from the expedition.

"Captain Lu, how is Guo Weiqiang's treatment going?" He looked up and saw Guo Weiqiang's mother.

"Oh, he has regained consciousness now... he is still hospitalized. But you can make a video call to him or something, that's no problem."

"That's good, that's good." The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain Lu, this is the latest ripe cantaloupe, one for you."

"Haha, no need, I won't need it."

For the people in Community 56, the current quality of life is much better than when they first landed in the shelter. The types of food have become more abundant. The latest batch of white-feathered chickens have been freshly sold. As long as you have them in hand, If you have some spare money, you can buy fresh chicken.

There are also vegetables and fruits that mature relatively quickly, such as strawberries, cantaloupe, etc., which have also been picked from the branches and can be easily purchased in supermarkets.

Some clothes made from Jinbaobao silk fabrics have also begun to be sold normally. This kind of clothes feels very good and is not easy to be stained with dirt. If you buy one, you can wear it for a year or two.

The only drawback is that the colors and styles are relatively monotonous and cannot be as colorful as before.

There are also various simple electronic games that have been produced. You can play landlords, mahjong, and double buckles online. There is no simpler entertainment method in the world than electronic games.

Anyway, mobile phones have a pretty good service life, and basically everyone has one.

In addition to the fact that the battery of a high-quality mobile phone deteriorates quickly, it is not a problem to use it for five or six years as long as it does not get wet. You don’t even have to worry too much about the battery deterioration. You can just charge it a few times.

There are some private reserves for electronic products, so at least there is no need to worry about them in the past few years.

All in all, when all these things are added up, the happiness level of 56 communities is quite good, the employment rate is also quite high, and the current per capita income can be regarded as the upper reaches of 50 communities.
