Chapter 17: Ideals
On this day, Zheng Rui and Bian Na disposed of two alien corpses, and Bian Na also kept a lot of accounts, and she felt a little tired when she went to bed at night.
Zheng Rui flashed a flashlight and wrote down the process of disposing of the alien corpse in the experiment notebook, which was used as a standard protocol for later use. In addition, I also remembered the taste and texture of fresh alien meat after eating it raw and cooked, although as a person who has eaten it, I should not forget this knowledge in the future, but Zheng Rui still just in case, since elementary school, some teachers have said, "A good memory is better than a bad pen."
Of course, part of the reason is that she saw that Miss Bian Na's accounts were neat and beautiful, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed when she looked back at her bad words, so she took the opportunity to practice two strokes and write something down.
"When the tide goes out, you don't know who's swimming naked" is what Warren Buffett describes as investing, but it's the same here. When there is a computer, words can be typed by input methods, and now technology products are basically unusable, so I can see who writes well and who is handicapped.
Zheng Rui thought boredly, and after writing the experiment record, she shone the glow of the flashlight only to find that Bian Na had fallen asleep.
She also wanted to play with the Consciousness Connection.
Although it seems to be okay in a dream, Zheng Rui suspects that the connection of consciousness in the dream is actually equivalent to maintaining a lucid consciousness. Staying awake when it's time to sleep will most likely interfere with the brain's normal sleep cycle, and it is estimated that you will be more sleepy the next day. Therefore, in order to maintain a normal routine in this harsh environment, this kind of equivalent to experimentation still has to be done during the day.
Alas, when I lived a good life before, black and white were reversed, but in the "end of the world MOD", I lived a healthy life, and humans are really not used to animals.

When I woke up again, it was August 18th.
This time, Zheng Rui woke up earlier than Bian Na, and she took the experiment notebook she had kept at hand before going to bed yesterday, and walked to the bright place at the entrance of the commissary. I picked up a pen and wrote the words "August 18th", but suddenly realized that I had not done a near-death experiment for two days.
Alas, this is not good, Zheng Rui thought.
But why not?
Is it good to indulge in NDE?
Zheng Rui has to admit that a large part of the reason for her NDE experiment is also because the feeling of calm and serenity during the NDE, and the eventual hallucinations of dying will be attractive to anyone. In the absence of entertainment, NDE is actually like VR for her.
But now if she is in front of Bian Na, she definitely can't kill herself casually. In addition to scaring the young lady, Zheng Rui also understands that there may be people in the opposite community who are staring at this side, if they find out that she is an immortal type, not only will the future be bleak, but even Bian Na may be implicated by her.
In a special period, you can no longer indulge in pleasure -
Zheng Rui, you are a member of the Communist Party!
At this time, she suddenly thought a little off the line that this month's party fee had not been paid, and now it seemed that it was ...... I guess I can't hand it over.
If you don't pay the party fee because the "Apocalyptic MOD" is busy surviving, it shouldn't be automatically quit the party, right?
In fact, she used to be a person with lofty ideals and ambitions, but she was too weak and scumbag, and the approximate half-life of this "ideal ambition" was about a month. Zheng Rui had already accepted that he could only be an ordinary person in his life, but who knew that if he did it now, he might not even be an ordinary person.
Maybe it's going to be over - whether it's herself, or the land that is in an abnormal state right now.
Wait, as if this is the time for the Communists to play a role?
Zheng Rui saw Bian Na sitting up from between the two shelves, and suddenly asked her, "Sister Na, are you a party member?" β
"What?" Bian Na was not fully awake, yawned and rubbed her eyes before asking, "What is it?" β
"I asked if you were a party member." Zheng Rui repeated it a little shyly.
"No, it's not." Bian Na said, "The place where I work is a private company, and no one has joined the party. β
"Oh." Zheng Rui replied, indicating that she knew.
For some reason, she felt a little regretful, but she suddenly felt a special sense of responsibility from the bottom of her heart. Zheng Rui inexplicably thought that such a big thing had happened, and Miss Bian Na, who was a member of the masses, was almost eaten by the alien, and this was the time when she should play an exemplary role as a party member. There are no other party members here, and she should lead her only mass to the light β whatever the so-called "light" is.
At present, it seems that the most important thing is not to dream big, but to survive.
andβ
Find the truth about how the world has become.
This seems to be a little self-touching, but Zheng Rui feels that her heart is full of strength again.
The half-life of the "ideal ambition" is only one month? Actually, enough is enough.
Keep working hard for this month.
ββ
Zheng Rui stood in the sunlight at the top of the staircase and hypnotized herself for a few minutes, and then began to help Bian Na tidy up the things in the commissary.
I didn't know it, but I found that the materials stored in such a square inch of land were quite rich. Not only food and beverages, but also daily necessities. Probably in the past, in order to avoid frequent restocking, the owner of the commissary stocked up on daily necessities that could be stored for a long time at one time. Anyway, the old workers who live in the tube building are dizzy, and they don't look at the date at all when they buy daily necessities, so it doesn't matter if it's a little fresh.
But now daily necessities such as paper toothpaste are relatively insignificant to Zheng Rui and Bian Na, who on the one hand cannot stay here forever, and on the other hand, they do not have the heart to live a delicate girl's life in the current food shortage and the threat of violence, although Zheng Rui is actually not very delicate in the stable period. It's just that in case the army takes over in the future and social order can be restored, these inedible materials will still have a place for them to shine, so they are also packed and put in the warehouse, and they are not touched for the time being.
In addition to daily necessities, there are also a lot of liquor and cigarettes of various grades in the warehouse of the commissary. Zheng Rui, as a student of biology, doesn't know much about these things, while Bian Na is a typical white-collar lady who never goes to drinking and eating in the work circle, and has little interest in cigarettes.
The two of them rummaged through the stock left and right, and wondered if the commissary owner had bought it for his own "enjoyment". However, the two boxes of two pots should have been taken out and sold, and Bian Na opened the box and counted the total amount inside. The calories of liquor are still quite high, and alcohol also has a disinfecting effect, so it can be used if you are injured in the future.
In this regard, Zheng Rui just said: "There is 75% sterilized medical alcohol, and these two pots are more than 50 degrees, and the effect is not good." And with my blood, your deep wounds are healed, which means that my blood can still be disinfected, and there is no need for alcohol. β
Bian Na poked her forehead and reluctantly repeated her usual opinion: "You can't use blood in front of outsiders, you can't let others know that you are immortal, understand?" β
