The thermostatic system keeps the temperature in the room at a comfortable 22°C, insulating the Deccan plateau from the cold at night. Li Mei lay on the soft bed, and the silk sheets were wrapped around her body as softly as water.

The room was pitch black, and Li Mu's rhythmic breathing could be heard quietly.

Li Mei tossed and turned on the bed, which was more comfortable than all the beds she had slept in before, but she still couldn't sleep peacefully. The duvet filled with duck down was light and seemed to have no weight, but it made her very insecure.

"Can't sleep?"

Li Mu's voice was exceptionally clear in the silent room, and he leaned against the wall and sat on the floor.

"Hmm."

Li Mei's voice was a little muffled under the quilt.

"It's going to be a little more comfortable on the floor."

In the dark, Li Mei looked in the direction of Li Mu, and could only see a black mass. She nodded happily, lifted the quilt, stepped barefoot on the cold teak floor, followed the voice, and sat next to Li Mu.

"In this world, why do some people work in the fields like cattle for most of their lives, their faces are full of wind and frost, their temples are gray, and the calluses on their hands are like tree bark, but it is difficult to even want to be satisfied. Some people can sit back and enjoy the fruits of other people's labor, live a luxurious life that ordinary people dare not think of, and they even want more, and they are insatiable to grab the wealth of ordinary people. ”

Li Mei leaned her head on Li Mu's chest, and everything she saw after walking out of Gaogang Village gave her too much impact.

The rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand. It was an era of gross uneven distribution of wealth, and an era of frenzied exploitation of the common people by industrialists.

Li Mu took a deep breath and sorted out his thoughts. He knew that tonight's words might affect Li Mei's drifting away from him in the future, or whether he would be in the same boat through thick and thin.

"Do you know the Thirty-Six Crowns?"

"Yes, everyone should know about it, right?"

Thirty-six families share the world, this is a common saying that no one will say in public, but everyone knows in private.

In that great war that destroyed together, the north, which was the political center of Zhuxia, was hit far more than the south. The enemy who had landed from Weiman and the army of the former Zhuxia collided fiercely on the northern border, and everything was in ruins.

Material scarcity and a large amount of nuclear weapons radiation residue make the living environment in the north much worse than in the south of Zhuxia.

From then on, the Zhuxia people in the north began to migrate to the south. The dangers and hardships encountered on the migration route are unimaginable to modern people. Mutant creatures, swarms of ghouls, marauders. The weak were eliminated, and those who survived began to form a group of powerful homeless people.

Along the way, superpowers began to emerge gradually. Every powerful group of exiles usually has a second-level powerhouse as the core. In order to show their loyalty and obedience, the exiles who were attached to the strong changed their surnames to those of the strong.

This is the prototype of the crown family.

In the face of the group of displaced people who came from the south, the scattered southern Zhuxia people were initially powerless to resist. In order to protect themselves, they also began to clan.

Under the protracted war for hegemony, the number of crown families in Zhuxia began to decrease greatly, and in the end, only thirty-seven surnames remained. Thirty-seven powerhouses of the first energy level, annexed other surnames.

Yuan Zongbao, as the strongest group, defeated the other thirty-six surnames and unified the chaotic Zhuxia.

After he pacified the divided wasteland and unified Zhuxia, he became the first president. He was left with a devastated world. Most of the highways and railways that connected the country before the war had been destroyed. There are a large number of ghouls and mutant creatures between the gathering areas of the Zhuxia people. The isolation of traffic makes it extremely difficult to centralize power.

In the beginning, the laws and regulations promulgated by Shenjing only left the city, and they became a useless waste paper. The officials he appointed had no prestige to speak of. The pre-war way of ruling is no longer applicable in a land that has undergone a sea change.

In the later period, the relationship between the ruling group of Shenkyo and the local crown clan became more and more acute. In areas beyond the control of Shinkyo, a semi-independent governorship system was essentially formed.

After the death of Yuan Zongbao, the surname Yuan began to weaken rapidly, and the local crown clan seized real power and promoted Zhuxia to establish a parliament. Power was transferred to the Committee of Thirty-Six.

Under the rule of these thirty-six people, Zhuxia became a hierarchical, dreary, decaying, and lifeless place. Complex borders, fierce ethnic contradictions. At the beginning of the birth of Zhuxia, it was full of sharp contradictions. We can only rely on foreign expansion again and again to alleviate the contradictions of foreign colonization.

The weak centripetal force made it possible for the independence of the colonies to blossom everywhere when the power of the House began to weaken. When the invaders from the north began to appear, Zhuxia, which seemed to be powerful, immediately fell apart.

In Sword of Dawn, countless players go one after another in order to change the fate of Zhuxia, but they are just moths to the fire.

"This is not how the world should be."

Li Mu said in a deep voice, and he described the pre-war world to Li Mei. One was talking, the other was listening. Li Mu is just a half-baked college student, he doesn't know much, but he still makes Li Mei deeply immersed in it, one asks questions, one answers, and suddenly doesn't notice the passage of time

Before I knew it, the night outside the window began to fade slowly, and a red sun rose from the east, and the sky dawned.

The morning light shone in from the window and fell on Li Mei's body, she was wearing some shabby underwear, and most of her green and healthy body was exposed.

But she didn't have the slightest shyness, she didn't sleep all night, her face was still full of energy, not a little tired, but full of hope for the future.

"Can we really change the world the way you say it is?"

She wanted to find confidence in Li Mu's eyes.

"Yes, but the power of one person is limited, as long as we unite more like-minded people, even if we fail, someone will take over our ideals and go on."

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Li Xuan covered his mouth sleepily and walked in with a yawn. She saw the disheveled Li Mei and her brother sitting next to each other, and her little eyes suddenly widened.

"I'm sorry to disturb you."

Only then did Li Mei notice that she was half gone, and like a red and more cooked crab, she pushed Li Mu violently and got back into the bed.

Li Mu, who was caught off guard, was pushed and hit the wall, he grabbed Li Xuan's back collar with a wooden face and lifted her up.

"You're so young, where did you get so much mess in your head?"

Li Xuan's eyes stared at Li Mu brightly.

"Brother, you and Sister Li Mei really didn't do that kind of shameful thing."

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Li Mei's face turned even redder, and Li Mu could almost feel the heat coming from behind.

"No, what's the matter with you getting up so early to look for me?"

"That one I want to pee, but I don't know where the toilet is, and I asked Sister Xiaoye, and she didn't know either."

Because of the amount of precious fresh water they consume, flush toilets were almost extinct in the colonies.

Li Mu flicked her head with his fingers.

"Brother Xiaotu Baozi will teach you how to use it."

ps: This chapter code is too difficult, changed and changed, for fear of stepping on the line, and finally strung together the background. It's really early in the morning, I'm tired, and I'm sleeping
