Chapter 1,277: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 68 (Part 1)
The afternoon sun was a bit hot. The people working on the farm had just finished lunch. Most of them were enjoying the cool in the shade of some trucks near the Middle Boundary Tower.
Some tired people put their coats under the car and took a nap. Some prisoners sitting on the huge tires were talking and laughing.
Rows of trucks that were not yet fully loaded were parked beside various farmlands. There were 30 groups of prisoners on this straight road, all of whom were minor criminals.
Hydra leaned quietly on the front wheel of a truck in the middle section, one foot stretched out comfortably, basking in the sun, and the other foot bent as a support for the book. In his hand, he held a black booklet with the words "World Destroyer" on it.
This booklet was obtained by chance from a person who was released from prison. There was only a very short paragraph.
Please remember! Freedom of mind is much more important than freedom of body.
I am not a prophet. I can't know what is waiting for us humans in the future!
But it shouldn't be too easy. I often wonder what freedom is!
Increasingly convenient life, increasingly digital life, and increasingly class-divided life will be infinitely magnified in the future, especially when disaster strikes, useful people are far more valuable than useless people!
It's a pity! This is a tragedy that has existed since the birth of mankind, or since the birth of organisms! Under the law of survival of the fittest, every life needs to experience the baptism of nature.
This is a very sad, but respectable, established fact that often only sighs like the long river of history!
But please remember, we are human!
People who have long escaped from the law of the jungle have built a law called the human world. Useful people have become the beneficiaries of the established law, and useless people have become the cornerstone of this law!
Rationality, logic, morality, right and wrong! It is difficult to measure all this.
It's a pity that all this has been full of tragedy and helplessness since the beginning, and everything is a choice for survival!
The increasingly heavy everything will deprive humans of the last bit of freedom! Everything about you will be controlled by the products derived from the times, and your thoughts and body will not be spared.
The most valuable thing about being a human being may be the spirit, or to put it more beautifully, call it the soul! The body breeds the mind, the mind determines the spirit, and the sublimation of the spirit turns into the soul!
Dear future friends! When one day everything about you is bound, only the mind is difficult to be bound!
Free things are never easily available, and they are never liberated just because you want to break free!
Don't stop thinking, don't give up thinking, trace the root of thinking! This is the only way to gain freedom!
by World Destroyer
Hydra closed the booklet and put it in his pocket. His eyes drifted to the farmland under the diffuse sunlight, and a sturdy child who stared at him from time to time beside the farmland.
Hydra smiled and looked over. With the exchange of eyes, the boy walked over step by step.
"Is there anything you want to ask, kid!"
Leon looked at Hydra quietly. This person looked very friendly. Leon had wanted to talk to him before, but finally gave up. Looking at Hydra's outstretched hand, he made a gesture of invitation.
Leon sat next to Hydra.
"Mr. Hydra!"
"What about you!"
Leon hummed and said.
"My name is Leon. I was recently sentenced for economic crimes. I am in prison for 10 years. Now I am in my fourth year."
Looking at this somewhat shy child with extremely sharp eyes, Hydra smiled and took out a piece of cool mint from his pocket and handed it to him.
Leon thanked him and took it in his hand. Hydra pointed to his mouth and put a piece in himself. Leon nodded awkwardly and put the mint in his mouth. The cool and sweet feeling instantly made Leon's heat disappear.
"Do you want to ask the question of whether it is worth it or not!"
Leon was a little surprised, Hydra explained.
"Only people with similar experiences will notice me. You are the 1394th person."
Leon was a little surprised.
"Mr. Hydra, I don't want to ask whether it is worth it or not, but I want to ask you whether what I did is right or wrong."
"Don't you already have the answer?"
Leon smiled helplessly.
"From the perspective of law, society and morality, everything I did was wrong, but from the perspective of my family, what I did was right."
Hydra was a little surprised, looking at the 10-year-old boy next to him, who was already thinking about these things.
"Leon, I can't judge whether everything you did was right or wrong. Right and wrong are dual or multiple in terms of yourself and the outside world. Are your family members happy?"
Leon nodded, as if he understood what Hydra wanted to say.
"Every time my parents come to see me, although they are a little older and have some minor illnesses, they are generally good."
"That's good enough. There is no need to analyze many things layer by layer. Maybe these things will bother you for a while, and even affect your future, but"
Hydra stood up and smiled, looking up, his cheeks bathed in the sun.
"Fate is so tricky. What do you think of me? Right or wrong?"
Leon shook his head. The Hydra case has become a paradox. When he was still in school, he had debated it, but there was no answer or result.
"Leon, I have asked myself countless times whether I am right or wrong, whether I am guilty or not guilty, but all this is my destiny. The year 2234 is the day I will be released from prison, and it will also be my miserable 30 years. Years in prison are the end of fate!”
Li Ang was a little surprised. There was no trace of anger, hatred or sadness in Hydra's body.
"I chose to reconcile with fate! When you refused to bow your head, you shed blood again and again, and your body and mind withered and froze in exhaustion and sorrow. Unfortunately, I am not the kind of tenacious person who wants to break through all obstacles and break through my own destiny. A strong-willed person, I can’t do it!”
Li Ang looked at Hydera blankly. He lowered his head and looked at Li Ang, who had a confused face at this moment.
"If you can't let go and want to find your own answer, just become a determined person. Nothing is right or wrong. No matter you choose to continue to defy fate or choose to make peace with fate, you may not get what you want. It’s not necessarily the same thing!”
Hydera said and walked slowly. He looked very relaxed. Li Ang had also heard people mention Hydera in the past. He was very heavy, very gloomy, and even autistic for a time, but now Hydera Li Ang felt very happy. This kind of joy from the bottom of his heart is something Li Ang doesn't have now.
In addition to working every day, he also exercises and studies. The freshness at the beginning is alienating him. Li Ang feels the boringness of prison life. Li Ang is particularly easy to get emotional when it comes to some annoying issues.
Gradually, Li Ang also felt that it was extremely difficult to find goals and hope for himself. Everything Li Ang did now was just a personal behavior to numb his sensitive and delicate heart.
"Remember Li Ang! You are just a teenager. Even if you have seen a lot, even if you have learned a lot, even if you are smarter than others, even if you are already very sensible! But you are still just a child Li Ang."
Hydera picked up a straw, held it in her hand and waved it gently, and walked towards the farmland.
"Hydra, you don't have to work in such a hurry, would you like to come over for a drink?"
A member of Section 12 on the Middle Realm Tower shouted. Hydra smiled and shook his head, then jumped into the farmland and started working.
Li Ang lowered his head quietly, and he vaguely understood what Hydera said. He missed everything on campus all the time, missed the days of playing with Niya and the others, and missed the delicious food.
A wave of soreness rushed up to his nose, and Li Ang wiped his tears. He wanted to say something to his parents countless times, but he almost couldn't stand it anymore. This was only his fourth year.
Unchanging is the life here every day. Li Ang looked at the city in the distance quietly. Today, there was a sudden commotion in the city. Many people were discussing the commotion in the morning. Although it calmed down afterwards, most people The discussions were all about battles between mutants that he had never seen before, and Li Ang was not interested at all.
There were no more mints in his mouth, and the heat began to creep in slowly again. Li Ang lay on the cold ground, looking at the dark sky. The sun was always like a huge bright light in the dark night.
1 o'clock in the afternoon
King Xue stood respectfully at the gate of All Domain Academy, and Deguna and Tang Rao walked in together.
"You take care of such a big school very well, Xiao Xue."
Deguna said, looking at the clean and tidy campus. Tang Rao next to her looked at the campus built of stone and wood with some nostalgia.
At first glance, it is a large retro-Victorian building with clean and smooth lawns on both sides. The white avenue in the middle has well-kept trees and flowers on both sides.
This school was established when they first established Brilliant City to train talents. After the first batch of students were successfully trained, most of them were the children of the family. Now most of the patriarchs of the family And some important figures came out of this school.
Now there was only King Xue in the whole school, Tang Rao sighed.
"Where's that boy Billy?"
King Xue shook his head.
"He went out to investigate something and hasn't come back yet."
The two walked towards the teaching building, with King Xue following behind.
"Two teachers, I must be here today to discuss the next batch of talents."
"You are the only one who makes me worry-free."
Deguna nodded, and Tang Rao turned around and looked at King Xue.
"You provided the method for handling this case."
King Xue smiled and nodded.
"I just hope to do my best for my classmates."
"I won't say anything unnecessary, King Xue. You did a good job this time. You are much smarter than Duan Kong. What is the 1st City Management Section!"
Deguna stopped as she spoke and sat directly on a bench under a tree beside the road. King Xue stood in front of the two of them, standing upright respectfully.
"You have to find a way, King Xue, to open an additional medical school."
As soon as Tang Rao finished speaking, King Xue nodded understandingly.
"I recommend someone, Huashen!"
Deguna waved her hands and then said.
"No, that kid is too self-righteous, or he doesn't want to be manipulated and exploited by the system, and wants to be free."
King Xue nodded. Huashen is indeed such a person. As a free doctor, this is related to the fact that he has been a traveling doctor since he was very young.
"That kid should be a better teacher. You have to think of a way. Now because of the last heavy metal poisoning incident in Department 4 and the wanton behavior of that kid Akimi, the progress of Department 4's construction of the medical school has been disrupted. "
King Xue scratched his head.
"It's a pity that I don't know how to do alchemy."
"Don't follow us, Xiao Xue. How does everything in this school work if you don't know alchemy?"
King Xue smiled and nodded.
"This matter is a bit difficult to deal with. Let's just print some money."
King Xue said jokingly, but after noticing Deguna's serious expression, he immediately put away his smile.
"I know the two teachers, I will find a way, address"
"It has been selected. It is near the headquarters of Section 4, southwest. Li Chu has used money to temporarily buy it. It is an old neighborhood."
Tang Rao said and King Xue nodded understandingly.
"That boy Duan Kong will handle the matters on the surface, and you will handle the matters behind the scenes. Julia has already told us."
Deguna said as she stood up and continued walking slowly.
King Xue is very clear that it is very necessary to continue to train a large number of medical talents. The current reserve of medical talents cannot support the future mechanization era.
Transforming people into machines requires a large number of medical talents, as well as the current direction of medical care. These are necessary preparations before the next era begins.
King Xue was impressed by the foresight of the gods. It was clear that the era of materialization of light and shadow had just begun, but the gods were already planning to prepare for the next era of mechanization.
The era of materialization of light and shadow is just to solve many problems in mechanized technology and to accumulate capital for the mechanized era.
"But there is no need to rush this matter. You can take your time, Xiaoxue. Now this college must shoulder the important task of continuously supplying talents to the Department of Acting. How are the new batch of students doing?"
"There are already 345 people! In three to five years at most, I plan to send 3,000 elites to the business department."
Tang Rao nodded and reminded.
"Don't talk to Jean about this, do you hear me?"
King Xue smiled gently.
"Of course, I won't tell the principal about this matter. After all, the principal will always do something unexpected, which is often unpredictable. I plan to go to Huashen to have a good talk in a few days."
"Anyway, I leave this matter to you, Xiao Xue. We must establish a medical school within 10 years."
1:45pm
Ran Zhi was sitting quietly on the balcony of his home, while his wife was drying the quilt. This kind of quilt made of real raw materials can give people a sense of solidity when covering the body.
The construction of the southern part has not yet been completed, and there is no access point for light and shadow materials. Ran Zhi used to cover the quilt with materialized light and shadow on the upper floor. It is very light and warm, and can adjust the breathability or warmth at any time, but Ran Zhi doesn't like it very much. .
Looking at the smile on his wife's face, Ran Zhi felt that this period was the happiest. The streets below were still dilapidated, but people could be seen talking and laughing all around. Most people here were not suffering from poverty or difficulties. And have a sad face all day long.
It's not like what the reports said. People are impoverished because of poverty. Ran Zhi looked at the quilt on the drying rod and smiled slightly. He felt that the quilt should be like this, with a thick feeling. It will be cold at first, but will gradually warm up.
Although light and shadow utensils are now popular, except for some younger generations who want to be fashionable and use them, most people at the bottom still keep the original utensils.
At this time, the doorbell of the room downstairs rang, and my wife hurriedly opened the door. After a while, more than ten people came upstairs, and they sat respectfully in the living room on the second floor.
"Master Wise, please help us."
Ran Zhi walked over with a smile and saw that these people were all nearby neighbors. Recently, people often came over to ask Ran Zhi for help in making suggestions and solving some problems, among which financial problems were particularly serious.
"Tax will be paid on the 1st of next month. Please show me your financial list. You can break down the portion that exceeds the tax you need to pay under other headings, so that you can avoid taxes."
As long as you don't pay taxes for a quarter, people from Section 7 will come to check your taxes. Once you are caught, you will have to bear a penalty of three times the tax.
Many people are unwilling to pay taxes. This is a common phenomenon among many people at the bottom, because taxes need to be paid from birth to death and are unavoidable.
The 10 councilors in the most taboo area were promoting all kinds of new things and wanted to promote construction reforms in the area to keep up with the middle class. Many people were full of lavish and beautiful things at the time. A beautiful vision, but when they came back to their senses, many people woke up when they looked at the black mud at their feet.
Once the light and shadow access points enter several households on the ground floor, the monthly utensils may seem cheap, but they will always have to pay taxes. The one-time and permanent light and shadow utensils purchased will wear out over time, and there will be wear and tear. It costs a lot of money to repair.
Ran Zhi looked at some tea cups that his wife brought to everyone. Many of them were utensils from the old era. Many were damaged and chipped, but they could still be used. Some could only be repaired with adhesive glue before use. .
Most of the utensils in Ran Zhi's home are old. These things are still usable, but they have begun to fade and decay under the light of the new era.
The new era established by the tax office is not suitable for most people at the bottom. Their lives are completely different from those of the middle and upper classes. People at the bottom cannot catch up with the new era, nor can they enjoy the dawn of the new era, but because of the so-called Exhausted from the new era.
After looking at everyone's financial situation, Ran Zhi began to give everyone some suggestions on how to avoid scrutiny if taxes could be effectively avoided. Everyone listened with conviction, because this man named Wise Man, who retired from the middle level, was Many local people provided suggestions.
Life at the bottom couldn't be simpler for Ran Zhi. All he needs is food to eat when he's hungry, water to drink when he's thirsty, somewhere to sleep when he's sleepy, and clothes to wear when he's cold. In his free time, three or five friends gather together and talk freely. Some vulgar and substandard things, drinking a glass of wine, occasionally watching movies and TV shows, playing games, and neighbors helping each other when they encounter difficulties, such simple and simple happiness is enough.
Although borrowing money is normal for people at the bottom, it is even more normal to borrow rice and noodles, or even borrow some clothes. This is correct for people at the bottom. This is the era that belongs to the people at the bottom.
We use the efforts of the people at the bottom to build the so-called new era, but this new era does not belong to the people at the bottom. The people at the bottom were tied to this high-speed train. As a result, before they could even sit firmly, they were thrown off and shattered to pieces. .
Ran Zhi smiled and continued to explain in detail how to reasonably avoid some policies and regulations and how to effectively deal with money issues.
Ran Zhi had gone to listen to the speeches of the district council members several times. The words “beautiful vision” were enough to sum up everything. Ran Zhi had never been there again, although for this group of young people who were full of fighting spirit, enthusiasm and ideals , Ran Zhi doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with their approach. They really want to make people in the area live a good life.
But in the end, these things are just empty bubbles. They look colorful in the sun, but as they gradually rise into the sky, these colorful bubbles will burst.
Ran Zhi once thought about a question. If people are divided according to intelligence, stupid people account for about 40%, smart people account for 30%, 20% are relatively smart, and the remaining less than 10% are less than 10%. They are elites, and above that there are only a few geniuses like Alpha.
The bottom group contains 70% of the dumber and smarter people, more than 14 million people. They obviously make up the majority, but they have to serve the remaining less than 10% of the elite geniuses.
They have never asked every person at the bottom what kind of era they need, what kind of life they need, and what they do every day determines how the times should proceed and where mankind should go.
Ran Zhi felt sad and ridiculous. This was obviously not the life that the people at the bottom wanted, but it was forcefully imposed on them.
Many people have been exhausted all their lives, struggling to bask in the light of the new era, but in the end they still die in the darkness of the old era.
"Okay everyone, that's it for today. We'll come back in a few days. Please feel at ease. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time."
After everyone left, his wife began to pack up. Ran Zhi stood on the balcony with a smile, smelling the smell of sunshine emanating from the quilt.
How the bottom is built is not decided by a few people at the top, but the people at the bottom should have the right to make free choices. There may be extremely smart geniuses who are aware of this problem, but in the system that has long been solidified, everyone is powerless. of.
"Come on, let's go for a walk on the street."
The wife walked over with a smile and gentleness. Ran Zhi nodded and was taken out by his wife. His wife was still chatting in Ran Zhi's ear about things happening on the street. Although today everyone was talking about what happened at the upper level, As well as the battle between mutants, but such a new thing quickly calmed down at the bottom and did not cause much fluctuation.
These things are too far away from the people at the bottom. What happened at the top, why half the block was destroyed, and why the mutant named Quasimodo did such a thing. These are all irrelevant. .
The most important thing for people at the bottom today is that on such a special day, some supermarket stores have launched some activities. This is what everyone is most concerned about. How much cheaper can an egg be, where to buy it, and what method to use. Buy the cheapest.
The difference of a few cents is what the people at the bottom are most concerned about, as well as what they will eat tonight and where they can find work tomorrow.
Some urban issues that are considered very important by most people in power at the top are rarely discussed here because they have nothing to do with most people. Even if they discuss them, the established facts have already been formed in the minds of the managers.
At the entrance of a restaurant, a mountain worker wiped his sweat. He was so happy that the boss took out the money and bought a large glass of beer and drank it happily.
A barber in a barber shop had just finished trimming a customer's hair, but the customer was obviously not satisfied. Although the barber was helpless, he only took half of the money. The customer left with satisfaction, and the barber didn't care. He casually stuffed the money into his pocket and continued to attract customers.
Beside a street food stall, some workers who had just got off work from the construction site sat and ate their meals voraciously. One worker said that the food was not enough. The stall owner smiled and told them to eat as much as they wanted, but the dishes cost money. The workers happily gathered over. Although there was only white rice and free soup, for many people, today was a day worth celebrating.
A car mechanic was repairing a truck under the hot sun, but it seemed that he encountered a problem. The owner was a little anxious. The mechanic also said that he would call a friend to come and would not charge extra. The owner was relieved at this time, and his impatient expression disappeared.
Several children kept walking through the alley with wooden toys in their hands. They looked dirty. Some adults passing by would remind them from time to time not to play on the main road. They seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Ran Zhi smiled and talked with his wife as they strolled on the muddy and dilapidated streets. There was no need to pay attention to common sense and etiquette here. They could live casually. Two men were fighting on the street, and people around were watching. But soon the situation calmed down after the intervention of the 5th Section. Neither of them planned to go to the Public Security Administration for investigation. After being verbally warned, they left.
"That store is on sale. Let's go and have a look."
Ding Manman smiled and looked at a clothing store. Ran Zhi nodded and looked up at the sun. He stretched out a hand to cover his head, and the reddish sunlight shone through his fingers.
"You can't imagine it at all. You all know it, but you still refuse to do anything or admit anything! It's ridiculous! God?"
