Chapter 7: The Dark Age
Although there was a small accident in the middle of the live broadcast, Wang Xiaobao still received tonight's salary as usual.
Alipay arrived: 30 yuan.
"One day, I will be able to live in a big house for my parents. β
Wang Xiaobao looked at the balance in Alipay and muttered contentedly.
A total of three thousand dollars.
Although we are still far from our goal, we will succeed if we persevere.
He has always believed in the principle that little adds up.
After turning off the laptop and putting it away, Wang Xiaobao went to the toilet to wash his face and rinse his mouth, and then went to bed early.
11:25 p.m.
"It's okay, it's not too late. β
Wang Xiaobao glanced at the time, breathed a sigh of relief, and fell asleep with his head down steadily.
If it were a normal day, he would definitely review for another hour or two to consolidate his knowledge after work.
But today is different, Wang Xiaobao must recuperate.
Is it possible that he will awaken and succeed because he is full of energy?
It's not impossible.
Even for the state subsidy of 3,000 yuan a month, he has to try.
If he has this wealth, he is one step closer to his small goal.
At least the family may have a chance to get together and have a happy meal.
The next day, Yangcheng Experimental High School.
Wang Xiaobao came to school early.
After last night's recuperation, he now only feels refreshed, and he has his own special effects when he walks.
To paraphrase a familiar advertising slogan, it is:
After eating the Blue Bottle Pill, my waist doesn't hurt anymore, my legs don't go numb, I can go up to six floors in one breath, and I eat it deliciously!
When Wang Xiaobao arrived at the class, he was surprised to find that the entire classroom was already full.
Originally, he thought that he must be the first few people to arrive today, but now he realized that he was the last to arrive.
Even the classmate who likes to be late on weekdays arrived in class earlier than him today.
Everyone sat upright, vaguely expecting something.
"Chen Mo, why did everyone come so early today?"
Coming to his seat, Wang Xiaobao asked with some curiosity.
"I wonder why you're here so late!"
Chen Mo explained helplessly: "Didn't you just tell you yesterday? Whether you can wake up or not is directly related to everyone's future in the future, who do you say will be able to sleep last night?"
"That's right, after all, that's a financial subsidy of 3,000 yuan a month. β
Wang Xiaobao nodded with a look of agreement and said, "I went to bed two hours early yesterday, and I don't know if it can help wake up." β
ββ¦β¦ I'm talking about the three thousand dollars???"
Chen Mo glared at Wang Xiaobao angrily.
But then thinking of the latter's family situation, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said in a slightly softened tone: "But Xiaobao, how did you do it, I tried several methods last night, but I just couldn't sleep." β
"Before I went to bed last night, I thought that if I waited for me to rest, I would be able to wake up tomorrow, and then I thought about it like this, and I fell asleep inexplicably. β
Wang Xiaobao touched his head and smiled at Chen Mo: "But don't say it, I woke up early this morning and felt very energetic, and my whole body was indescribably comfortable, which shows that going to bed early is still a little effective." β
Chen Mo: "......"
The scene fell into an awkward atmosphere for a while.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Li Jianguo to walk in with a thick stack of materials.
"It seems that everyone has already known the school arrangements in advance. β
He stood on the podium, looked at the students sitting at the bottom, and said with a smile: "Because we are in the first class of high school, we will be the first to go to the gymnasium for the test when we go to class later, but before that, I have to explain some precautions to the students clearly." β
Hearing Li Jianguo's words, the eyes of the students present lit up, and they hurriedly pricked up their ears and listened seriously.
This is the first time that the school has arranged to explain about awakening, and they have to listen carefully.
"Actually, I don't need to say that everyone should know that the old era has come to an end, and now is a new era of Reiki revival. β
Li Jianguo propped his hands on the lectern and asked, "But although everyone often talks about aura recovery, which student knows what aura is?"
The students immediately began to discussβ
"It should be like in a fantasy novel, right?"
"Maybe it's a radiant gas, like the gamma rays of the Hulk in the Avengers, but it's just pushing the biological mutation in a favorable direction. β
"The biology teacher just talked about it in the last class, and most of the biological variations caused by physical and chemical factors are harmful, and you just didn't pay attention to the lecture when you saw it.
β......β
After Li Jianguo and the other big guys finished discussing, they picked up the chalk and slowly wrote on the blackboard - "gene stock solution".
Then he pointed to the blackboard and said: "Actually, Reiki is not what the students say in fantasy novels, nor is it a radiation gas, but a gene liquid, to be precise, Reiki is the gas formed after the evaporation of the gene essence, and it is most appropriate to describe it as gene gas." β
The student below hurriedly raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Li, what is the gene stock solution? β
"It's normal not to hear about it, although the genetic stock solution is the essence of Reiki, but for most people, it is enough to know that Reiki is Reiki. β
Li Jianguo explained with a smile: " According to the investigation of the scientific group of the United Nations, the gene stock solution is actually a special cosmic energy, which is originally protected by the atmosphere, and it stands to reason that there should not be any cosmic energy diffused to the earth, but this cosmic energy is extremely special, not only can penetrate the protection of the atmosphere, but can even trigger the favorable evolution of organisms, although the science team has tried its best to analyze the material composition of this energy, but so far there has been no progress, only know that this energy can affect the genetic structure of organisms, so it was named the gene stock solution by the scientific groupγ β
Immediately afterwards, he continued: "Of course, this is also due to the fact that the scientific team of the United Nations has deeply gathered this cosmic energy, and found that the most primitive state of this cosmic energy is actually liquid, but after the evaporation of solar radiation, it spreads into the air and becomes a gas, so it will become the familiar aura, in fact, it should be the original genetic gas." β
"That's ...... so"
Many students muttered in a sudden realization.
Suddenly, the whole classroom became noisy againβ
"It turns out that Reiki is the original genetic gas, and it is still evaporated from the genetic essence. β
"Yes, it's the first time I've heard such a professional and systematic explanation, and I always thought it was the aura in a fantasy novel!"
"Hey, hey, I'm better than you, at least the radiant gas is still more reliable. β
"People who don't pay attention in class are not qualified to speak. β
β......β
Li Jianguo waited for the students to calm down before continuing: "The first place where mutated creatures were found was Mount Tai, the head of the five mountains, and then according to the investigation of the United Nations science team, almost overnight, the creatures of the entire earth have mutated to varying degrees, but for animals and plants, perhaps it is more accurate to describe it as evolution. β
Seeing the puzzled expressions of the students below, he continued to explain: "Because the mutation caused by the gene stock solution to animals and plants is completely in a favorable direction, not only does it give them unimaginable wisdom, but also has indescribable destructive power, if it weren't for our high-tech thermal weapons, human beings would be completely unable to resist the attacks of these mutated creatures, but even so, at the beginning, we humans still suffered heavy casualties, and that period of time is also known as the darkest era in human history." β
Hearing this, many of the students below showed a heavy look.
"Dark years" they know.
Not only them, but no one in the entire human society will forget this most painful history.
A third of humanity is forever buried in that history.
If the mathematical concept of one-third is vague, it is even more shocking to describe it as a whole billion lives.
In those dark times, there was no racism, no high or low.
All of us are selflessly contributing to the flame of human civilization.
They have forged walls of iron out of their own flesh and blood.
They forged the golden iron horse out of their own white bones.
They are the creators of the Bright Age.
They burn their own blood and create the dawn of the dark ages.
They were the most immortal heroes of the Dark Ages.
Their heroic souls are still alive!
"Fortunately, after the baptism of the dark ages, we human beings have also begun to gradually and greatly improve themselves, not only the continuous innovation of high-tech thermal weapons, but also the emergence of strong people among the awakened, and then after the continuous efforts of everyone, the mutant creatures were finally forcibly controlled within a certain range, so there will be our current era of peace. β
Li Jianguo sighed and said seriously: "No matter how brilliant everyone's achievements are in the future, the teacher here hopes that the students will remember the tragic lessons of history no matter what they do in the future, and do not forget the selfless dedication of our ancestors, who used their flesh and blood and even their souls to open up peaceful years for us, they are the heroes of the entire era, and they deserve our eternal respect." β
A group of classmates had solemn faces and shouted in unison: "Teacher Li, we know!"
"Where there is a quiet time, it's just that someone is carrying a load. β
Wang Xiaobao couldn't help but sigh secretly: "People envy the social status and welfare that the country has brought to the awakened, but they don't know that in the turbulent years, they are the anchor of human society, and they deserve to be loved by us forever." β
"Then Mr. Li is here to thank the students first. β
Li Jianguo bowed deeply to the students under the podium, and then continued: "Okay, after talking about this, let me focus on explaining to the students what the awakening is all about. β
