If there is such a person, he proposes a deal: he gives you 1.8 million at the price of reducing your life to three years.

How would you react? Of course, you would not hesitate to point at his nose and scold him.

The man went on to say that 1.8 million is just the base salary, the commission is a variety of privileges and rare resources, and in addition, after your death, your family will receive an eight-figure bonus.

You froze for a moment, and when you finally figured out whether the eight figures were millions or tens of millions, you hesitated for a few seconds. But you still rejected the deal.

This man continues to add weight, and he tells you that in addition to wealth, resources, and privileges, you will also gain unparalleled social status and fame, and after your death, will go down in history and be immortalized.

This time you hesitate longer. But in the end, you spat on the ground and scolded viciously: "Fuck immortal, I can't enjoy the blessings after death!"

The man smiled slightly and said, "Actually, you don't have to die, you will face a test in three years, and if you pass the test, you will survive." He pointed to the tall and handsome soldiers in the propaganda film, "Look, there are many people who have survived, and they are now standing at the top of this world, with equal honors, and are worshiped and admired by thousands of people." ”

You look at the characters who appear in the promotional video, these people are synonymous with honor, they are active on the front line of the most dangerous things, opening up boundaries for humanity and exploring the unknown. They are warriors, warriors, and heroes. You can name all of them and know the glorious deeds of each of them.

"They all made a deal with you?"

"Of course. ”

And so you waver. No one doesn't want to be a hero. You look at your ordinary self in your glasses and finally make up your mind.

This is the deal that the Association proposes to the world.

It has to be said that the association succeeded. When everything is linked to honor and the survival of mankind, it seems that the life and death of the individual are no longer so important.

Chen Bin sat alone on the stump.

When the bonfire was lit, Zhen Shanmei wanted to pull Chen Bin with her, but she refused without hesitation. Even if she threatened and intimidated her violently, Chen Bin still refused to obey.

Zhen Shanmei left angrily and annoyed.

Chen Bin looked at her petite back, without any intention of opening his mouth to stay.

Zhen Shanmei is a good girl, she doesn't have much heart. He had already deceived her for an afternoon, and he couldn't bear to continue to deceive.

Lying to honest people is still a little guilty after all.

Anyway, the points are already in hand, and it's time for the boring play house to end.

As for the bonfire party, heh, since it's a party, how can there be less audiences?

Chen Bin is not the only such audience.

Jiejiegao walked over with a glass of chocolate ice cream.

The shape of this ice cream is a bit peculiar, spiraling upward, similar to the shape of some kind of excrement.

"You're amazing. Jiejie gave a thumbs up, "I'm willing to gamble and lose." ”

Chen Bin rolled his eyes: "What about perfunctory me?

Jiejie Gao dug a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth and forcibly explained, "You dare to say, this is not ice cream like?"

“......”

The two sat on a tree stump, two meters away from each other, and watched in silence at the roaring bonfire and the crowd of people reveling around it.

"He fell. Jiejiegao said suddenly.

Of course, Chen Bin knew who the "he" in Moxigan's mouth was.

Among the crowd, He Junyao and Jiang Shuning interacted most frequently and intimately. The relationship between the two seems to have taken several steps further in the couple check-in game.

"The association is really dizzy, and engaging in this kind of friendship activity makes people lose their fighting spirit. ”

I had a good night's sleep in the afternoon, and now I was full of energy, and I began to chirp again.

"He Junyao may not lose his fighting spirit because of this, and-" Chen Bin paused and said seriously, "If you don't have fun at this time, when will you be happy?" Do you think our life will be long?"

Silent and silent.

With the help of the sea breeze, the bonfires burned even brighter, the firewood crackled, and the smoke billowed into the sky.

Boys and girls sang and danced, completely immersed in the wonderful and joyful night.

Chen Bin looked at them from a distance, and what he saw was a hundred young and beautiful figures, but in his eyes, there was only sadness and pity.

How many of the students here, especially those who are on a voyage, can pass the baptism? 50 percent or less?

The association covered up the process of [baptism] and the mortality rate to death, but it could hide it from outsiders, but it could not deceive itself.

That's why a group of children who graduated from junior high school will be recruited, let them spend what may be the last three years of their lives in the cradle of the association, give supernormal rights, encourage personality development, encourage love, and even turn a blind eye to some transgressive behaviors.

Chen Bin bumped into a boy who sneaked out of the girls' dormitory at three or four o'clock in the morning more than once.

For cadets, the association seems to be particularly "conniving". Even the daily routine training is obvious. Forget about working from 9 to 5, the training intensity is still low, even He Junyao was suspicious, and asked Chen Bin two days ago:

"Do you think it's useful for us to train like this? I've been stuck in the second order of my physique for several years, and I don't show any signs of breaking through. Looking at the attitude of the instructor, it is obvious that he did not take the training seriously. I really want to ask Captain Zuo how he became so strong. I feel that if I continue like this, I will not be able to reach that height in my life. ”

Chen Bin could only smile helplessly.

He Junyao has probably touched the ceiling of human beings. He is too fierce, training for more than 16 hours a day, for ten years, I am afraid that the left tooth of the year is far inferior.

Chen Bin speculated that the association does not attach importance to training, probably because it is difficult to break the ceiling with ordinary training, or at all, it is impossible to break it. The only way to break through the boundaries of the human body and give birth to a super human may be the [Baptism] that has been hidden by the association.

Therefore, the two-year "cadet period" and the one-year "recruit period" are, to a large extent, just for show, not only for the trainees, but also for the world to see.

Although this is just Chen Bin's speculation, it is not groundless.

In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the association, all the recruits were high school graduates who were adults or close to adulthood, but more than half of the students who responded to the call were killed or injured in less than half a year. The horrific death rate has provoked a worldwide backlash and verbal condemnation. In the end, this measure was only implemented for three years before it was forced to stop due to public pressure.

Later, the association reformed, lowered the age of conscription, added the cadet period and the recruit period, and gave various benefits and preferential treatment to the cadets and their families, and at the same time put a large number of propaganda videos, spreading the concepts of "honor" and "all mankind" into thousands of households and into the hearts of every ordinary people.

The reform of the association was quite successful.

The half-year buffer period was extended to three years, and then the temptation was to take advantage of it, move it with affection, and take a multi-pronged approach, slowly, naturally, it diluted people's fear of death.

There are no people in this world who are afraid of death, only people who lack faith.

Chen Bin is a person with little faith. If he hadn't come to this world with intelligence, perhaps, under the influence of the environment, he would have become a staunch supporter of the association, an old stubborn like Zuoya, who talks about honor every day.

He took pity on this group of young boys and girls, whose lives were compressed and exploited without knowing it, and who could dance happily around the bonfire.

He looked away at the dark sea, where the waves rose and fell, gently lapping at the sand.

"Of course, people who don't have strength can't live long. Jiejiegao was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "But you and I, don't worry about longevity, do you?"

Chen Bin smiled.

Not worried?

What an international joke!
