Chapter 18: This Cold and Ruthless New World
It's a strange world.
Yi Yue stood at the front of the two columns, very well-behaved like a child caught by a parent in the wrong place, listening to the scolding of the guards who were probably the team leader to their group of people.
She couldn't understand what he was saying, but looking at the disdain on his face, his frown, his small but powerful push against the other children, and the children's trembling performance, she easily understood that what he said was definitely not a good thing.
The tall leader was a head taller than the tallest boys in the pile, and from time to time he would pull a few people out of the line and curse something.
When Izuki saw the angry expression on the face of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy caught by the team leader, and then smashed on the back with a thick plastic stick by the team leader and making a dull sound, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the world.
The boy's screams were smothered in his chest, and he closed his mouth tightly and bit his lip to prevent the screams from overflowing, leaving only a muffled snort.
He trembled, he couldn't stand steadily, his expression lost from anger to fear.
Even if she was beaten, she didn't dare to shout out her patience, which made Yiyue feel a little chilly, and she turned her head and didn't dare to look at it again.
Something is not right in my mind.
There were no parents to send their children over, and these boys and girls of different ages left the cafeteria by themselves and walked into the team by themselves.
Even when they were scolded and beaten, no adults came out to stop them, and no one even looked at these children with unbearable or pitying eyes, as if adults were insulting and abusing children as they should have been.
That's not right.
What a cruel world it is when a society doesn't even love children.
What about their parents? What about their original parents?
It seems that there was never a sign of them.
Those ice huts seem to embody the characteristics of the world's social base unit is not the 'family', but the 'individual'.
It feels very deformed, the bloodline inheritance seems to be nowhere to be found, and the nature of parents to raise their children seems to have never existed.
There is a different kind of indifference between adults and adults, adults and children, children and children.
She has only just come into contact with this world, and there are too many bewilderments, and the social system, customs, and characteristics of this place are very different from the environment in which she once lived.
Could it be that the more technology develops, the more indifferent people become to each other?
Although the relationship between neighbors in modern society is not as good as in the countryside, and people are relatively strangers to each other, except for the bad influence of some people with low moral character on the trust between people, most people are still kind from the bottom of their hearts.
Just like she used to ride a bicycle to school, the chain fell off and she didn't fix it for a long time, and the uncle who passed by saw it and took the initiative to come over and help her.
No matter how much society develops, it will not and should not be like this.
The child tugged at his fingers and lowered his head and moved into the group.
The slow movement seems to be a remembrance of something.
Remembering some places where I once lived, where there are intangible and intangible human feelings that are completely different from here.
Izuki sneaked into the line when the leader scolded the middle and back of the group, and at that moment the person standing behind her quickly retreated away from her, as if he was hiding from something.
She left the team at a loss, was excluded, and stood alone in front of the team.
Isn't that how you queue up? Is she standing on the wrong side?
The wide plaza was large, roughly estimated to hold at least 100,000 people, and the concrete-poured ground was dotted with many facilities she didn't know what to do.
There were other children in the distance, could she be in the wrong place?
That's not right, the place where the neighbor's male finger is Yin Yin is here, and each team is quite far apart, so she won't go wrong.
She still believed that the man who took care of her in the first place, taught her to use the equipment in the room, hugged her when she walked slowly, and took her away when he heard the notice and didn't put her down until the playground would not pit her.
No one spoke to her, and no one told her what was going on.
Not long after she joined the team, the number of people pouring out of the cafeteria had plummeted, and now no one had come out of it anymore, and most of them had found their own team to stand.
Yiyue's heart was full of question marks that could not be answered, but she always felt that something was wrong, and her heart was full of ominous premonitions.
You must know that the people who were pulled out of the team by the team leader before and left the team were severely scolded and even beaten.
She was hesitating to run into the team again, but she heard the leader's voice disappear, and her body suddenly became a little stiff and did not dare to move.
Listening to the footsteps of the military boots kicking the ground behind her, she finally stopped beside her, thinking of the dull screams of the boy he had just beaten, her whole body was a little hairy.
Swallowing his saliva, thinking that stretching out his head is also a knife and shrinking his head is also a knife, he slowly raised his head and looked at the team leader with courage.
I didn't look carefully from a distance before, but now I look pale.
This is a man in a dark blue military uniform, with short hair, a handsome appearance, short hair on his forehead that hides some gloomy colors in his eyes, and his gaze at her is straight and cold.
When her gaze met him, for a moment, Izuki seemed to smell a sweet smell of blood around her.
The formless and colorless feeling of oppression made her heart spasm, as if she had fallen into the abyss.
Yi Yue had never seen this kind of look in her life for more than ten years, and her mind was blank.
The face was slightly itchy, and the little hand subconsciously touched the face, and felt the cold water stains.
She cried.
She was scared to tears by one look.
["What is the Taylor third-order expansion of sin(x) at x=0?"] The team leader looked at her in a low voice, and he raised the rubber roller in his hand slightly, as if threatening her to be beaten if she couldn't answer.
The toddler stood in front of him like a little mouse facing a big black cat.
Yi Yue was stunned, and at that moment, she only knew that she kept repeating: What is this? What is he saying? What to do? What to do? It's over, it's over, it's over......
Yi Muge sensed that something was wrong now: {What's wrong?} }
Yi Yue is the voice that echoed in his mind trembled a little: {I don't know, I don't know the question he asked, I think I'm going to finish.} }
Chiba moved the vines, {calm down, it should be fine.} }
Yi Yue replied a little stiffly: {Don't shake when you speak, maybe I can be appeased by you, what should I do, Dad?} }
Yi Muge held back for a long time before he could hold back a sentence, {It's useless for you to call me dad, you tell him to try?} }
Yi Yue pursed her lips, her eyes fluttered, she pretended to be calm, and couldn't help but complain in her heart to divert her attention, {You useless thing!} }
Feeling a slight pain in his wrist, it was Yi Muge expressing his dissatisfaction with Yi Yue's blind truth, and the annoyed Chiba Teng decided to ignore this cub this time.
