Chapter 21: Doing Bad Things and Being Struck by Lightning

Lin Zaishan was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep at all.

"Master Lin, what should I do?" Lin Zaishan, who was in turmoil, asked.

"The master doesn't have to worry, the main theme of life in the last days is not the love of men and women, but the test of survival. Please focus your time, energy, and mind as much as possible on the upcoming endless survival tests. ”

"A test of survival? Do you mean that our situation could get worse and worse? ”

"Yes master, I have made this judgment based on a combination of information. In my opinion, the consequences of a meteorite explosion are much more serious than they seem on the surface. ”

"What do you think will be the main test?"

"First of all, there is the issue of resources, which I don't think needs to be explained too much."

"Secondly, there is the issue of ecology, I predict that the entire ecosystem of the earth will be completely changed, existing species will grow and evolve in unimaginable ways, and new species are likely to appear in a very short time. The profound ecological changes may also include the following two things: first, it is highly likely that humans will no longer be able to maintain their position at the top of the food chain; Second, the relationship between living things and nature and with each other will be fundamentally changed by the sudden increase in natural resources. In the past, for example, due to the limited area of grassland and seasonal variations, the population of herbivores could only be maintained at a certain level, and carnivores could not grow excessively. But nowadays, plants grow in a near-unlimited way, allowing a variety of animals to expand in numbers without being limited by the amount of food. Imagine a world full of antelopes and lions. What would lions most likely do if they were no longer bothered by not being able to catch enough antelopes? ”

"That's the birth of lion cubs and the expansion of territory, of course." Lin Zaishan replied.

"Not bad. As a result, the survivors will be threatened by powerful animals as ubiquitous as the dinosaurs, as if they had suddenly returned to the Cretaceous period. ”

"It's a really serious problem."

"The third serious threat is the increasing frequency of natural disasters. Winds, torrential rains, floods, thunderstorms, plagues, and even earthquakes can erupt with a density and intensity thousands of times higher than before. ”

"The fourth serious threat is the mob. They will act in extreme ways for various reasons, and the normalization of extreme behavior will become the basic reality of eschatological survival. ”

"The fifth serious threat is rivalry and conflict, even war, between the tribes of the survivors. To date, we know nothing about survivors outside of the county borders. We don't know who they are in control of, or to what extent they have preserved human wisdom and civilization. ”

"The sixth serious threat is abilities that can be abused. Just like Du Lili did today, the Paranormal has the ability to easily change the situation and the state of others, and if they don't know how to control themselves, the order can get out of control. The master once asserted that supernatural abilities would become more and more important in the last days, and would become the most important capital and dependence for personal survival. I couldn't agree more. ”

"Master Lin, the six serious threats you pointed out are indeed very reasonable. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this? ”

"I can only advise the owner to seize every opportunity to improve his own strength as soon as possible, and cultivate a team of his own when conditions allow."

"Master Lin, are you suggesting that my current team is not for me?"

"I don't dare to be a master, I just think that the current team is too fragile compared to the situation that may be facing. Moreover, most members are unaware of this, and they are still stuck in the habitual mode of relying on and reacting to authority and social forces before the end of the world. ”

"Can you give us an example?"

"For example, the master himself, the way you can maximize your interests is to possess Li Yan, envelop Du Lili, and then control all the men in the team to establish an absolute leadership position. But what you actually did was to lose Li Yan, reject Du Lili, and lose to Wang Youdao in the competition for leadership. ”

"Master Lin, you know that I don't care about power and money."

"Of course, the owner has high aspirations. But the basic basis for survival in the last days is strength rather than morality, and I hope that the master can wake up. ”

"I understand, you can go on."

Another example is Principal Wang. The group management method that Principal Wang is adopting now is completely pre-apocalyptic, and this set of things is easy to collapse in the face of life and death tests and strong people. And Principal Wang was unaware of this, and he was still happy to do it. Another typical example is Li Yan, for her, the most rational way to survive in the last days is to form a life partner with the master as soon as possible, and sweep away the competitive threat of Du Lili, He Annie, Song Chanjuan, Lu Sister-in-law, etc., but she easily listened to Wang Xiaoya's slander, knowing that Du Lili used her abilities to coerce her master, but she insisted on going her own way and rejecting the master thousands of miles away, but instead gave the competitor a chance and put herself at a disadvantage in the future survival test. ”

After listening to this, Lin Zaishan pondered for a moment and said:

"Mr. Lin, these examples you gave are not unreasonable, but there are three obvious problems: First, you have consciously or unconsciously chosen to support my position, taking me as the center and starting point, and ignoring the inner experiences and feelings of others. Of course, you can't be blamed for this, because you don't have direct access to information about other people's inner experiences and feelings. Second, you ignore the basic logic of human action, which is not survival itself, but the purpose and meaning of existence. For many people, they can give up their existence for something they think is valuable, or stick to a certain style of existence. The third problem in your example is that you are simplifying the relationship between virtue and strength. In your opinion, virtue is false, soft, and decorative, and strength is real, hard, and essential, but in fact, this view is wrong. Many of the qualities that human beings regard as strength are acquired by virtue of their corresponding. Virtue is the foundation, and strength is the extension. ”

"The master's opinion is deafening, and I must reflect deeply."

"Master Lin, your point of view is also very enlightening to me. While telling you these words, it is also a kind of combing and reflection on my own concept and character. A conversation with you has brought my mind back to its senses and made me feel a lot better. Now it's time to go to bed. ”

At 5:00 a.m. the next day, after just a few hours of rest, Lin Zaishan completely regained his energy, he got up and washed up briefly, and then came to the playground to practice boxing.

With the performance of the boxing moves, the feeling of refreshment once again spreads all over the limbs. Suddenly, the body was heavy, and the air seemed to become solid and textured again. Lin Zaishan was not in a hurry, without distractions, and continued to practice boxing, and in this special state, he played the 36-style Ma family boxing method for two rounds before he finished his work.

He shook his neck and ordered Lin Fuzi: "Evaluate my current basic attributes. ”

"After the assessment, the basic attributes of the master are as follows: strength 124, speed 124, endurance 139, dexterity 140, hearing 132, vision 122, intelligence 135...... Most of the basic attributes showed a slight increase. ”

"Traditional boxing is really not trivial."

Just as Lin Zaishan was immersed in the joy of attribute growth, the laughter of men and women came from afar. Following the sound, I saw Li Yan and Chen Gengxin running together, the two chatted while jogging, and Li Yan laughed happily from time to time.

When the two saw Lin Zaishan, Chen Gengxin elegantly raised his hand to say hello to Lin Zaishan, and said, "Captain Lin, good morning!" ”

Lin Zaishan responded with a "good morning" and looked at Li Yan, but Li Yan continued to run with Chen Gengxin as if she didn't know him at all.

Lin Zaishan didn't dare to be bored, so he simply went back to the warehouse. At the entrance of the warehouse, he met Wu Chaoqun, who was drenched in sweat and looked tired.

"Brother, do you honestly tell me that you really like Du Lili's girl's film? If you like, yesterday she played with me as if nothing had happened; If you don't like it, I'll shave her eyebrows right now! ”

"Brother, you can go if you want to, but beware of her repeating her old tricks."

"Brother, I don't want to sing "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountains" every day, you have to discipline your girl well!"

"Don't be serious with these little kids, the situation is not optimistic now, we still focus our time, energy and mind on the survival of the team."

"Well, brother, you're right. In terms of taking care of the overall situation, you are much better than your brother. Okay, I'll go take a shower first and talk later. ”

"Captain Lin, you have to call the shots for me!" Wang Ziqiang asked when he saw Lin Zaishan in the corridor.

"I went to work out, what's the matter?"

"Look at my lips, Lele doesn't like me kissing it, and it bites my lips. Du Lili is so bad, if I get rabies, I must bite her first! ”

"Xiao Wang, don't worry, I will criticize and educate her. You'd better go brush your teeth first. ”

"Captain, great joy!" Zhiyang Yang grabbed Lin Zaishan and shouted.

"Zhiyangyang, what's going on?"

Zhiyang Yang took out a large handful of weeds from his pocket and said, "I ate grass last night and found that a lot of grass can stimulate the body's attributes, and the taste is not bad." ”

"Zhiyang Yang, is this true?"

"Of course, you see, this grass with thin and long leaves tastes sour, but it improves eyesight; This grass with very fat stems and leaves, has a sweet taste and can grow strength; There is also this slender vine grass that has a bitter taste, but can increase stamina; By the way, there is also a kind of grass that only has a few small leaves, don't underestimate it, eat the long speed. ”

"Do you have the data?" Lin Zaishan asked with interest.

"Yes, I'll send you the stat change data now."

"You didn't lower your HP this time, did you?"

"No, it's still full of blood!"

"No other negative statuses?"

"There is a kind of grass, which is actually a flower, and after eating it, it shows poisoning, and the HP drops rapidly. That's it. Zhiyang Yang held up a very bright-looking red flower to Lin Zaishan to see.

"And how did you recover?"

"It's thanks to this white flower." Zhiyang Yang held up another flower to Lin Zaishan to see. The petals of this flower are snow-white, the stamens are silvery-white, and the size is small, which is inconspicuous at first glance, but it is very delicate when viewed closely. "After eating this flower, my poisoning state was lifted, and then my HP went back."

"Zhiyangyang, your discovery is too important! If we dig deeper, we can configure the herbs of the end times. You put the effects and pictures of these flowers and plants for Lin Fuzi to record. I took the time to talk to Dr. Song and them about the situation. ”

"Okay, I'll go right away. My beautiful angel, hee-hee......"

"Zhiyangyang, beware of Annie He's madness."

"Yes, thank you Captain for the reminder!"

"Who got up early in the morning and spoke ill of me?" Anne Ho asked as she emerged from the room.

As soon as Zhiyang Yang saw He Annie, he immediately switched to the "pet dog" mode, crossed his heels, bent his palms downward, raised his wrists to his chest, opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and smiled all over his face. Lin Zaishan knocked on Zhiyangyang's head, and the latter quickly switched to otaku mode.

"No, who dares to speak ill of our President He, isn't that looking for death?" Lin Zaishan said with a smile.

"It turned out to be the handsome guy Lin who made countless underage girls crazy, why didn't you see that superb girlfriend behind your ass? Oh, I think about it, it turns out that I was usurped by a certain underage girl! ”

"President He's mouth is sour and mean, and the lethality is extremely high, and a few words can make people want to die, could it be that BJ has done too much?"

"You're nasty!" He Annie's face turned red and said angrily.

Lin Zaishan didn't dare to provoke her again, and was about to go back to the house when she raised her feet, when Song Chanjuan came out of the room and said, "I just heard that Captain Lin and Mr. Zhiyangyang have something to look for me. ”

"Ah yes, Zhiyangyang, you go and introduce the discovery to Dr. Song."

"Captain Lin's complexion looks very good." Song Chanjuan smiled: "It seems that last night was good." ”

Lin Zaishan laughed, bowed his head and left, and Song Chanjuan said again behind him: "Captain Lin has a man's charm!" ”

Lin Zaishan glanced back at Song Chanjuan, only to see her looking at herself with her usual gentle smile on her face, and thought, "Why did Song Chanjuan also turn on the mockery mode?" It seems that my performance last night offended the women on the team quite a bit. So he stopped talking and hurried to his room. met Wang Xiaoya at the door of the bathroom, Lin Zaishan thought to himself: "It's over, I've encountered this long-tongued woman head-on." ”

Lin Zaishan walked past Wang Xiaoya nervously as if he was afraid of being attacked.

"Captain Lin." Wang Xiaoya spoke.

Lin Zaishan only felt that his scalp was numb for a while.

"Are you okay now?" Wang Xiaoya asked softly.

"Except for being said a few bad words and a good thing with Li Yan, there is nothing bad about it." Lin Zaishan pretended to be calm and said.

"Captain Lin, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have run to Sister Li Yan to chew my tongue......" Wang Xiaoya actually admitted her mistake and apologized. She apologized with sincerity and remorse on her face, while secretly observing Lin Zaishan's reaction.

If Lin Zaishan knew for the first time that this matter was related to Wang Xiaoya, he would definitely be surprised and angry; But at this time, he was already numb and even a little tired of this matter, and he didn't want to get involved in it at all.

"Xiaoya, you don't have to apologize. I've got something to do and let's go! ”

"Captain Lin!" Wang Xiaoya stopped Lin Zaishan, and said with a hint of pleading in her eyes: "If you want to blame me, blame me, I am willing to accept any punishment from you." ”

Lin Zaishan didn't say anything, and went directly into the house.

He wanted to go into the house and be alone for a while, but he didn't expect Du Lili to sit on his bed and play with his long hair.

"Lin Lin, where have you been? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Du Lili said excitedly when she saw Lin Zaishan.

"Don't enter my room early in the morning without permission, it won't affect you."

"What's so bad? I'm your girlfriend. ”

"Lili, I want to solemnly declare: I am just ordinary friends with you. Don't talk nonsense in the future. ”

"Lin Lin, I also want to solemnly declare: you are already my boyfriend, and our relationship has been recognized last night."

"I'll be mad if you mess around again."

"Your Majesty, you're going to be mad, and the concubines are all going on."

"You ......" Lin Zaishan has always lacked effective measures to deal with those menopausal women and underage girls who are neither reasonable nor painful.

He was helpless, so angry that he only circled in place.

Du Lili smiled while blinking her big watery eyes and said, "Honey, the tail is here." ”

Lin Zaishan turned around more than a dozen times before stopping, thinking, "I was controlled by Du Lili's ability just now." He looked at Du Lili angrily and stretched out his fist to hit her.

Du Lili held Lin Zaishan's fist with two small hands, and said in a loud voice: "Lin Lin, don't be angry, I will compensate you well." As he spoke, he took Lin Zaishan's thumb in his cherry mouth.

Lin Zaishan suddenly withdrew his arm, pulled out his legs and ran out. Du Lili ordered: "Stop! Lin Zaishan stood involuntarily. Du Lili walked over and wrapped Lin Zaishan firmly with her hands and feet like vines, and said in her mouth: "Don't move." ”

Lin Zaishan wanted to move but couldn't move, thinking: "If this continues, I will either go crazy or be played to death by Du Lili." The station is temporarily unstoppable, and it is best to find an excuse to go out quickly. ”

The two were entangled here, and Principal Wang and Jiang Wei appeared at the door of the room.

"Oh, you guys...... You need to be temperate and pay attention to the public influence. "Principal Wang came up and approved it.

Du Lili let go of Lin Zaishan and said, "What is Principal Wang looking for us?" ”

"Jiang Wei said that you didn't go back for a long time, because she was afraid that something would happen to you, so she came to you with me." After President Wang finished speaking, he looked at Lin Zaishan again: "Comrade Lin Zaishan, now is a time of crisis and emergency, you are also a state worker, how can you indulge in the love of men and women every day?" Lili is still a minor, can't you pay attention to the impact? ”

"Principal Wang, I was wrong. I feel so remorseful for my wrongdoing. I want to examine myself deeply. Please criticize and supervise the organization more, and give me a chance to mend my ways! ”

"Well, that's right. You have a good attitude. ”

"Principal Wang, in order to make up for my mistakes, I volunteered to go to the resort to carry out a search and rescue mission, and I sincerely ask for organizational approval!"

"Are you ready? Do you have security measures in place? ”

"Yes!"

"Good! Comrade Lin Zaishan, in the name of the chairman of the council, I approve your search and rescue mission! The mission will take three days, and no matter what the outcome is, you must return to your station within three days! ”

"Understood, carry out the mission immediately!"

After Lin Zaishan finished speaking, he picked up his backpack and ran out quickly. It was too late for Du Lili to intercept her, she looked at Principal Wang and wanted to give an order, Jiang Wei suddenly grabbed her hand and said:

"Lili, Captain Wu Chaoqun asked us to go to the playground for training, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

"Is it okay not to go?"

Principal Wang heard this and said: "Lili, the training camp is a great opportunity to improve your quality, if you don't go, are you willing to fall behind others?" ”

Du Lili snorted and said, "It's Wu Chaoqun who trained us, I have to teach him to sing the song "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountains" today. ”
