The world enters the age of myth

After hearing what Shi Dayong said, Lu Yiming sighed softly.

Li Yao has always been a rather taciturn person, and Lu Yiming didn't know much about him. This soldier's "clairvoyance" ability played a great role in the last battle.

He couldn't help but ask: "Is Li Yao so upright? Is he really willing to sacrifice himself?"

"Hey, yes, he is a very strange person. Perhaps in this truly special era, he can be regarded as a moral model and a true hero model in our entire shelter!"

"He and I have known each other since college. We both enlisted in the army in college... so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Shi Dayong took out a bottle of xylitol chewing gum and gave one to Lu Yiming. In today's world, this thing can be regarded as a high-end luxury product.

Lu Yiming stuffed the chewing gum into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and blew out a bubble, which made a soft "pop" sound, smearing his face.

Recalling the past, Shi Dayong was quite sad: "Li Yao didn't have many friends in college. He was laughed at by his classmates for several years. The reason was that he actually cried when the flag was raised for the first time after entering school. And moved! Haha, isn’t it weird? It’s hard to describe his expression at that time, as if he had fought a difficult war and shed tears of bitterness and excitement when he finally won the victory..."

"At that time, some people noticed his abnormal expression and pointed at him one after another. Some girls even said with a smile, does this guy have something wrong with his head? What's so exciting about raising the flag and singing the national anthem? I really thought I was there. Fighting the Anti-Japanese War..."

"After that, in my college career, everyone talked about this matter with a mocking tone and made all kinds of ridicule, saying that I haven't seen such a person since the founding of the People's Republic of China. He is simply a country bumpkin, little pink, and ***. This kind of hat is tailor-made for him.”

Lu Yiming frowned, thoughtfully.

Such people...are indeed rare.

Shi Dayong continued: "Li Yao is indeed different from others. He has reached an exaggerated level, like a second-grade youth in the comics. Once, when selecting a scholarship quota, a good-looking girl got the scholarship quota. Everyone knows that This girl's family is not poor, but she doesn't have any objections. I can't get it anyway, and it doesn't matter who gets it... There are always these people in the university, right, the university is already a small society."

"It seems like this..."

"Then... Li Yao stood up and said loudly to the counselor, I think this is unfair. She lives in the city, and the clothes she wears cost more than a thousand, and she also has a gold chain hanging around her neck. , it shows that they are not poor. Bursaries should be given to the poor, not to the original rich. He thinks it is a bursary, not a scholarship!"

"The situation was very embarrassing. Even the counselor had never encountered such a strange person before. He felt that he was inexplicable."

"The girl's face was red and she was so angry that she couldn't raise her head. After the meeting, she was still crying on the table."

"It's really not that common." Lu Yiming said with a smile, "There are probably only a few of the hundreds of thousands of people in the shelter. Being colleagues with them is actually quite tiring. Once you don't do well, you will be punished. If you scold me, he won't show mercy to you."

"Yeah, you're right. It's really tiring to be colleagues with them. There are advantages and disadvantages... But from then on, Li Yao's popularity became even worse. He didn't have many friends, and others thought he was a fool. . Fortunately, he and I are in the same dormitory and can still say a few words to each other."

When Shi Dayong said this, he waved his hand: "After two years of studying, we all joined the army together. However, he did not do well in the army, and his bones were too hard. After a few years, my character Those who are more tactful actually become his leaders."

He lamented: "...Absolute justice does not exist in the world. It is the same everywhere. The water in some places is turbid and in some places it is clearer, but it cannot be completely free of impurities."

"But think about it, why is he being laughed at? If he raises the flag and plays the national anthem, he will be laughed at if he is moved? Why is this?"

"When did his character become a laughing stock? Later I learned that Li Yao's father was an anti-narcotics police officer and died when he was just born. His only memories of his father are in photos. He He was raised by his mother alone. Suddenly I could understand the tears he shed while looking at the national flag. It is also very difficult to be able to struggle until now..."

Lu Yiming thought thoughtfully, in an era that should be tolerant, why would a slightly selfless collectivist spirit be ridiculed?

Everyone has become refined, but they feel that refinement is natural, and they begin to instinctively reject the selfless spirit.

This is a very complex issue.

Shi Dayong sighed: "It's mainly because of culture and time. Peace has been peaceful for too long, and the culture of our entire society has undergone fundamental changes. We believe that as long as we take care of ourselves, it is enough... In fact, any progress Someone has to make sacrifices. Behind the light, there is always darkness."

"We no longer worship heroes. When we meet a better person, our first reaction will not be to recognize and learn from him, but to be jealous and start trying to slander him. Maybe this is the normal state of the world..."

"But now, times have changed again. Our society is in a moment of crisis. We need to reshape the hero culture. If we want to live here, we need too many heroes who can stand up... Yes, we must We must re-establish the concept of glory and sacrifice. Although it sounds stupid, it has to be done.”

"Oh, you'd better think about it carefully. You won't force this matter. If you don't participate, we will continue in our own way..."

After Shi Dayong said these words, he left in a hurry.

Lu Yiming was left alone, thinking...

He... was still a little hesitant.

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder. He looked up and saw Zhong Peng coming in a hurry. He also had a dark face, as if he had something on his mind.

"Has Shi Dayong done ideological work with you?" Lu Yiming asked.

"Hey, yes." Zhong Peng scratched his head.

"Hi, kid Lu Yiming."

"Hi Lily."

On the contrary, Jin Lili, who was following at the end, had no worries. After her head fell off, her vitality was severely damaged and her physical ability has never fully recovered. Therefore, some of the more difficult tasks are not her turn, so there is no psychological burden.

Her main job now is to be responsible for various affairs in the community, and then she will donate some blood to the research institute, study hard, and slowly start to change her career in the direction of research.

Jin Lili said with a smile: "Would you like the sad-faced duo to have dinner together?"

Lu Yiming shook his head: "I don't seem to have much appetite."

"No matter what happens, we still have to eat. How about I treat you!"

"You're treating me to a treat...of course I'll go."

A group of people walked into the restaurant. The two men kept sighing. Lu Yiming ordered a bowl of white rice, took a few sips and didn't bother to drink it.

Zhong Peng simply ate one bun, then took out his mobile phone and started playing the Gal game, letting out a silly laugh of "hehehe".

In his opinion, the two-dimensional world is more attractive. Only in the two-dimensional world, Li is carefree and does not have so many worries.

These two people made Jin Lili a little angry, "What are you doing? Are you collectively possessed by a demon?"

"I feel a bit stupid!" Lu Yiming cursed incoherently, not knowing who he was scolding.

"What? What did you say!"

"The second adventure is about to begin!"

"Isn't this something that must be done? What's so stupid about it?" Jin Lili felt a little funny when she saw his expression.

"Well..." Lu Yiming was a little confused.

I always feel that this kind of behavior is a bit like a deserter, which is very embarrassing.

He was not a heartless nerd like Zhong Peng. He still wanted to save some face in front of Jin Lili.

On the contrary, Zhong Peng was playing with his mobile phone and hesitatingly explained the general process: "Hey, this mission is very difficult. It can even be said to be a narrow escape from death! It doesn't matter if you choose to protect yourself and not participate in the mission, right? ?”

"But now they have formed a team of their own, and some ordinary soldiers have also mobilized. They have all written suicide notes and are ready to sacrifice. In this way, we are a little bit embarrassed... But I don't want to be Revolutionary martyrs should be buried in graves for others to worship. If they are really heroic, who would want to?"

"Oh, this is very simple!" As an outsider, Jin Lili quickly understood what the two of them were struggling with, and said with a smile: "Your choice is understandable, because you have a higher status now."

"The soldiers under my command do not have many escape routes. They must do what their superiors order. If they become deserters, they will not be able to survive in this society. In addition, this matter will indeed have a negative impact on the entire shelter. Their interests are on the moral high ground, and they have no reason to resist... But now that you are the superiors, you have enough escape routes, and no one can force you to take risks."

"Don't laugh here. If it were you, wouldn't it be the same?" Zhong Peng said very unhappily: "You are so upright and awe-inspiring. If it were you, you would hesitate, right? Don't you know what the monster is? How strong!"

He exaggeratedly said: "It's huge, so agile, and has special psychic abilities that can control the beating of your heart. Understand! It's not easy for a few of us to kill one...Chen Wei...but also He died heroically and was eaten in just one second. There were not hundreds of millions but millions of similar monsters on that continent!"

"You have to know the danger."

Jin Lili nodded with a serious look on his face: "Yes, you are right! If it were my turn to play in person, I would actually hesitate."

"After all, our generation has not experienced a real cruel war, and the spirit of hard work and hard work is actually not as good as that of our ancestors. The collective dedication... is also far less than that of several generations. We will all give priority to personal interests. "

"If someone really has a collective spirit, they will be considered a fool."

"If you really don't want to, that's okay. Everyone can understand..."
