Chapter 242. Mindset

If the history of mankind is summed up in two words, it is probably "cycle", and the ancient dynasties established by mankind are all repeated in the four stages of creation, strength, decay, and destruction, until they accumulate enough capital in the ruins of the past, so as to leap into the next historical stage at a critical node, as far as the history of human civilization is concerned, the middle of the 21st century has reached the peak of the third industrial age, and then it was forced to the stage of decay by the immeasurable nuclear bomb. But it is not known whether it will continue to decay until the birth of a child of a plane, or whether it will regress completely to the Second Agricultural Age. If this were the law of the Third Age, then the pre-war thinkers would not have been blind to death.

The reason why a law is a law is because it is not something that can be reversed by human beings, and it is not easier for people to jump out of their own thinking rules and stereotypes than to reshape the worldview, but sometimes, can't a pry bar pry the earth?

So Simon sat in the tavern in a daze, the cat-eared lady was interested in carefully examining the purple-blooded heir at first, and after seeing too much, she found that there was not much to stand out, and after nightfall, the members of the Hydra came one after another, and Vivien naturally had to do her job alone, although the senior members of her real identity preferred to do it themselves, as if they had come here to buy a cup of coffee that was twice as expensive as the E section just to get more contact with the caretaker.

Simon recalls the scene when he walked out of the shelter and came to the scene just now, unaware of more and more malicious eyes. His face was silhouetted in the shadows of a warm sconce. He first recalled hearing the Coastal Alliance's full-band broadcast in the lower vaults of Fort Kent for the first time, and out of inertia of his thinking, he decided without thinking that he would stop at nothing to step out of the shelter and join the war between the "Alliance" and the "Empire", and at that time he even thought that it was a desperate guerrilla war. Considering that the Vault couldn't find the calendar at that time, and even if you saw the clock, you couldn't see the year, which is understandable.

After the attack of the Black Mountain Bear Monster, he meets the Jonathan father and son, who have fled the Empire, and learns that sixty years have passed since the nuclear explosion, and he has to accept the environmental realities of the old and new eras. But the brain is still an old-world code of moral conduct. Finding that there was nowhere to go, he immediately accepted the Northern Star, which seemed to be the last straw for the drowning man. It only then occurred to Simon that his first turning point had come so quickly.

Mayor Blackwater invites him to eliminate the Wyatt mercenaries in Black Mountain, and Simon's first impression of the post-apocalyptic town is extremely poor, and the inexplicable appearance of a single exoskeleton scout prompts him to try to find even a trace of pre-war civilization. By today's standards, it's good to accept the mayor's promise to stay and be a town guard, but as for legends and turmoil, it can only be said that everyone has their own aspirations. At least before joining the army before the war, Simon's wish was to get a decent job in Philadelphia after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania and settle down in the city with Juliana.

The old Interstate 77 leading to the Steel City was desert in the summer, deprived of social inertia, morality, and legal constraints, and only the primitive rules of rules and customs, which had largely disappeared as early as 500 BC, were left to power and prosper. First time I met Adolfina...... Simon remembers what he said, "Move again!" I'll throw you into the kiln! ”

The Steel City S3 caravan was intercepted by the Crusaders

Simon's journey was started, and the gunmen pursued, Adolfina went and returned to the rescue, and entered the city to be interrogated by Solomon electrocution for no reason.

Trial...... Simon seems to have grasped the point, and he is about to come out and like a fish in his throat, he has never been a prisoner, so he naturally does not know and does not want to know the taste of interrogation, and the Geneva Conventions are still in force in the war on the Eastern Front, and it is really not too much for the army with clear constraints in the modern civilized world to do collective bestiality before collective hatred, except for a certain IJ, of course. The whip was not only as simple as Simon's body, but also completely destroyed his three views, and he now realized that if the elites treated the lower class civilians like this, without any evidence or any form, they could arbitrarily oppress and torture the people who had obtained the rights of residents, then what could they hope for? Did you change your last name to Dalit? Life in Area F later on, more of Simon's latent thoughts.

It wasn't a man, it was an animal, it was a mule.

The hunting of living corpses in the Old City, the Daredevil, and the Crusader Wars in winter, are naturally too busy to think about life. After coming back, I was busy with the spring breeze, and some girls threw themselves into their arms, thinking about how boring they were in the past.

At this moment, there was really a big stick smashing over, and many things became clear, Simon quickly understood the meaning of this time, Adolfina kept arranging for him to participate in the triumphal ceremony of entering the city, the promotion ceremony of Hydra, the registration and negotiation of the Iron Army, and the meaning of letting him transfer money on his own. Yes, she was always testing her partner in her own way, and perhaps it was too difficult to expect a man to open up after a short period of success, so she simply went straight and looked for some opportunity to knock and knock.

What did Vickers Solomon do in Hydra? That's what Simon should have asked at the time. Instead of losing your temper at the person you support the most, after your patience is meaninglessly exhausted.

Thinking of this, Simonton felt the light of day, got up and walked up to Cat Ear Niang, and said, "Vivian, I want a cup of chicory coffee, no sugar." ”

The cat-eared lady drooped her eyelids, not only did she really have a pair of pure white cat ears, but even her eyes were different pupil colors, one eye was orange, and the other eye was sky blue, she didn't bother to wait for the official member of Hydra with the least seniority, and slightly tilted the "Northern Daily", which is one of the official newspapers of the Steel City, and the supplement to Simon's side read: "This Sunday at the Lakewood Grand Theater, "Dust to Dust" starring the artist Sveria Onegin will be screened, and the third-class seat will be priced at 50 yuan......"

"Go get it yourself, you really don't put sugar?"

Simon took the sealed chrysanthemum bottle on the ledge, removed a few pale chicory roots, put them in the grinder and ground them into powder, mixed a certain amount of coffee, and made a cup of coffee with the characteristic grass and nutty smell of the Asteraceae plant, Simon tasted it, at least not as ruthlessly as the inhuman coffee substitute he drank in Germany during the war on the Eastern Front. Coffee beans are produced in the southern hemisphere, and although they have appeared in the civilized world for far less than alcohol, coffee has completely conquered all civilized races and entered the ranks of the necessities of life in less than 300 years, just as the Italians can maintain basic social stability as long as they have olive oil and wheat, and the Germans and British feel that life is not too difficult when they can have a cup of coffee.

Steel City is located on the shore of Lake Yili, naturally 108,000 miles away from the coffee production area, the precious coffee beans transported from the Black Mountain Free Zone are first-class military supplies, and the priority is given to the army and the Black Wall, even if a little leaks to the E area, the price is amazingly expensive, can everyone have a cup before the war at the party

Nestlé instant coffee is often a symbol of family wealth in Zone E. Brands of liquor were cheaper and better because of the large-scale storage in pre-war shelters. Because of this, a large number of substitutes have appeared in social life, filling the material gap caused by regional fragmentation, and the chicory growing in the shade by the lake is only a small microcosm of it.

Simon sat back down, the strong astringency of chicory coffee opened his mind, he thought about it, he didn't care too much about the surrounding environment, unconsciously, the tables around him were empty, the group of senior members who often play bridge somehow left very early today, Simon's eyes swept over the tavern, five or six rather eyed guys leaned around, Simon pretended to take down a thick copy of the Oxford Dictionary, covering his face, except for a pair of steel-blue eyes.

As the moon wore on, the men were gone, and the group of ready-to-prepare Hydra, who seemed to be looking for trouble, surrounded Simon in a manner. Simon looked at his AATS watch, 10.18 points, and it was almost time to go to bed, so he stood up, looked around, remembered everyone's appearance, and said, "Is there anyone going out before we do it?" ”

"Ahem." Without waiting for the troublemakers to speak, Vivian first stretched out her finger and reminded: "Get out and fight, if you damage anything in the tavern, you will be compensated ten times." ”

"Everyone."

In the afternoon, Simon was trying to loosen his muscles, and when he walked out of the tavern, the moon was shining, and he unbuttoned the tie in his military uniform, and glanced at what seemed to be the leader, his head was half bare and half long, and there was still a scar at the hairline that still had healing marks, which was easily reminiscent of the Crusader's cut skin salute when they met.

"There are things we can sit down and talk about, and if we have to do it, it's not good for us." Simon explained. There were six men, six ready for Hydra.

No one spoke.

Simon slowly tucked his left hand into his sleeve, although he didn't want to make a big fuss, he couldn't stand the others, not everyone could think about the consequences, or they didn't need to bear the consequences. Simon was surrounded in the middle, and the scarred man was the first to punch him, and he was heavy.

Simon didn't even open AATS, he immediately threw out his coat like lightning, and with a "pop" sound, his sleeve was pulled on the scarred man's face, and he hit the eyeball with great precision, taking advantage of the gap in the attack, Simon swept around with his military uniform jacket, and the power he contained at this time was actually to repel several besiegers who tried to cut off his retreat. The strength is so great that it directly makes the military uniform stretched into an iron bar!

"Drink!" Simon let out a low roar, and immediately his shoulders sank, and he bumped into another oncoming preparatory Hydra, how could Simon, who has been immersed in free martial arts all year round, suffer a loss? Even if you lose, you have to win it back soon! Simon was kicked in the back a few times, cuffed the unlucky man in his arms, and slammed into the wall across the street, punching the man in the abdomen and paralyzing like an electric shock.

Simon picked up the first one to fall, picked it up upside down and threw it violently, kicked the wall with his front foot, and pounced with his strength, punch to fist! There was a clear knuckle breaking, and the second person was discarded, Simon went straight up with his hand, and his left hand grabbed his throat, pinched until he was half dead, and suddenly threw it again.

"I'd advise you not to use anything else." Simon's clenched fist slowly loosened, blood dripping down his fingertips, and he whispered.
