With Wang Lu's rare serious advice, Wang Bi'an nodded: "I know." Mom, I'll wash the dishes. Saying that, he picked up the bowl and entered the kitchen, and Chen Qiong and Zhou Min, who had eaten well, also consciously stood up and cleaned up together.

Wang Lu paced to the living room with his sleeves, turned on the TV, and listened to Zhu Yazhen reporting the news, the broadcasting center has now set up a shelf, with special interviewers, post-editing, and hosts, unlike at the beginning, Zhu Yazhen ran around with a pocket video recorder, and the news footage shot shook vigorously, and now the news is equipped with subtitles, and even Zhu Yazhen's clothes are specially provided by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and they are changed every day.

After a while, Chen Wei also entered the living room and handed Wang Lu a cup of ginger tea, Wang Lu doesn't like coffee, and he is not interested in green tea and black tea, ginger tea warms the stomach, but it is a good drink in winter. After a while, Xie Ling also entered the living room, and naturally sat on the same sofa as Chen Wei, Chen Wei asked Xie Ling, "How many children?" ”

Xie Ling said: "After tidying up the kitchen, I went upstairs. ”

Chen Wei suddenly said: "Zhou Min, this kid, is unexpected. As a mother, she naturally has a very keen sense of children, and Wang Bi'an's changes cannot be caused by Chen Qiong, then it can only be Zhou Min.

Xie Ling was a little puzzled: "What did you say?" Although she was surprised by the sudden change in Wang Bi'an's attitude, she didn't expect that Zhou Min, a hostage-like child, could do anything.

Chen Wei smiled: "It's nothing, come, eat an orange, Uncle Chen said, now no one has collected the oranges all over the mountain, and they have all fallen to the ground and rotted." Up and down the cliffs, this orange is completely free and open. ”

Xie Ling smiled: "Forget it, I also have a basket in my office, I don't dare to eat too much, I'm afraid of getting angry." She turned to Wang Lu and said, "Brother, I think it's better to use this orange to make juice, isn't there a canning factory in Longguan Township?" With a little modification, the production line can be used to make juice, and the oranges are now rotten on the streets, and in the summer. But it's in demand. ”

Wang Lu didn't say anything. As soon as Xie Ling turned around, she saw that Wang Lu was actually in a daze, and she said strangely: "Brother, what do you want?" ”

Wang Lu raised his head with a sigh. Reached out and rubbed his face. Sighing: "I'm thinking about hydrofluoric acid." ”

Chen Wei hurriedly said: "I'll say hello to the chemistry teacher about this." For such a dangerous thing, it is enough to teach theories, and you can't show real things to children. Not to mention experimenting. ”

Wang Lu shook his head: "I'm not talking about the harmfulness of hydrofluoric acid, but after the accident in the school in Anhui, a series of different reactions in all aspects really point to all aspects of human nature." ”

Xie Ling was a little curious: "What the hell is going on?" Brother, tell me carefully. ”

Wang Lu scratched his head: "The cause of this incident was just a female student, who posted a finger with hydrofluoric acid on her finger in Baidu Tieba, said it hurt, and asked if it had anything to do with it, and then, everything got out of control." This post bar was only built by the students of this high school themselves, how do you know the harm of hydrofluoric acid, but, this post was inadvertently seen by some people who study chemistry, and then turned to the chemistry bar, where there is a group of cattle people, are famous universities, laboratories, and chemical units, and immediately ran to the school bar to remind the children of the dangers of hydrofluoric acid and let them treat it immediately. There are many enthusiastic netizens who even called the local 110 to call the police. At this time, the school reacted and took the student to the hospital. But at the same time, in the school post bar, the bar owner desperately deleted the posts, deleted all the warnings of those chemical experts, and scolded those well-wishers for smearing the school. But after all, this matter could not be hidden, and the media reported it quickly, but what made people angry was that the school poured all the sewage on the children, saying that the children were operating in violation of regulations, and after being splashed with hydrofluoric acid, they were not flushed with water in time - Niang Xipi, 20% of the hydrofluoric acid was flushed with water, and Lao Tzu really wanted to give the bastard principal a drop of hydrofluoric acid on his hand, not more, just a drop, just wait for the amputation. It's like giving a loaded pistol to a student to play with, and instead of saying that he broke the law after an accident, he blames the student for not holding the gun. Sadly, until this time, the school bar was still trying to delete the accusations made by enthusiastic netizens against the school. ”

Xie Ling slapped the armrest of the sofa heavily: "What's the matter with this group of children?" Isn't this a dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't know the hearts of good people? Who's good to them and who's hurting them, can't tell? It's really brainwashed and brainless! ”

Wang Lu smiled bitterly: "This is not brainwashing, a middle school principal is not capable of brainwashing children and making them loyal to themselves, in my opinion, this is the power of the collective." Human beings are social animals, naturally living in clusters, a perfect collective, has its own set of frameworks, after a single person enters the collective, will gradually be assimilated, become a part of the collective, and when the collective is harmed, will stand up and consciously fight for the collective. The children in the post bar are not necessarily the lackeys of the principal, they are more with the concept of loving their alma mater as a collective, and they are fighting, although such a battle is actually hurting the children who have been injured by hydrofluoric acid who are also their younger siblings. ”

Wang Lu looked at Chen Wei and Xie Ling and said: "I know, the two of you are not very satisfied with the series of reforms we have carried out in Yashan recently, I think you must think in private that I am walking crookedly, complaining that I don't look like I just arrived in Yashan......"

Chen Wei and Xie Ling glanced at each other, Chen Wei said softly: "No matter what you do, I support you, I just hope that you can ease up, some things don't need to be so intense, like Lin Jiu's child's matter, I still feel uncomfortable when I think about it, what a good child, you handled it lightly at that time, and you wouldn't force him to escape from the cliff." ”

Xie Ling hurriedly said: "I can't blame my brother for this, it's those policies formulated by my father......"

Wang Lu waved his hand: "The policies were formulated by Xie Yaguo, but these are all signed and agreed by me, and it can even be said that Director Xie's policies are very in line with my heart, and he has done a very good job, better than I did it myself, so I can't blame him." I've already talked about the power of the collective. Before Director Xie came to Yashan, although there were many people in Yashan, they were just a group of displaced people, if it weren't for Yashan's abundant supplies, they would be able to stage all the ugliness and crimes of other settlements in Yashan one by one, let alone fight for Yashan. What I need is a collective, a collective that can assimilate any outsider, like the children of that school, who will consciously stand up and fight for the collective without hesitation when the crisis comes. I know that Yashan's current methods are beyond your eyes and those of you. But I have to tell you. These methods have been proven to be effective in extraordinary times, and it seems to me that there is no such thing as good or evil in the means, as long as I am trying to make life happier for all of them, then all the means I use. It is naturally righteous. Because. Winners. No condemnation! ”

Chen Wei muttered, "Collective? Collectively? I also know the importance of collectivity, there are enough survivors, and only by uniting can we fight zombies. Compared to the scattered survivors, the zombies are more collective. It's just that, Wang Lu, can you really create what you call a collective? Think about it, in the middle school in Anhui that you just mentioned, the children are blindly fighting for the collective, but what about those teachers and school leaders, didn't they betray the children and betray the collective? In this way, the collective is not as assimilated as you say, is it? ”

Wang Lu shook his head: "Wrong, you said something wrong." The teachers and school leaders did not betray their collective, on the contrary, they are doing their best to defend their collective, because their collective is not the collective of the children, the teacher, the head of the teaching and research group, the principal, the director of the education bureau, the local department in charge of safety accidents, the deputy mayor in charge, the propaganda department...... They're a collective! Their collective and the children's collective are not consistent, you look at the news, why is there an isolated incident, the person involved is not necessarily powerful, but the relevant departments will work together to cover it up? To put it simply, officials protect each other, but in fact, the interests of this officialdom collective are threatened, so every element of this collective will try to cover it up. You see, that's the power of the collective! ”

Wang Lu said meaningfully: "Which collective you are in is very, very important!" ”

Chen Wei and Xie Ling were silent for a long time, and the two of them thought in unison, which collective are they in? For this collective, what interests are supreme and need to be defended with all their might, and which things can be easily discarded - do you have to give up those interests in order to be protected?

Wang Lu didn't say anything anymore, Chen Wei has always been a grassroots teacher, even after being rated as an associate professor, she still can't change her social status and attributes, and Xie Ling is a female student who has not yet entered the society, they can't understand and have never felt the consciousness of being a ruling class.

That's right, it's the ruling class, Wang Lu doesn't like the word class, with the size of the cliff and the number of people, it is not enough to produce class, but class is inevitable, which is also an alternative manifestation of the collective.

Wang Lu's family is a class of its own, and then there are middle-level cadres who are attached to Wang Lu, the wise corpses are another class, and the survivors are the so-called grassroots people, and they are another class, and finally, the zombies are a separate class, and each class and each collective have their own interests to pursue, and what Wang Lu has to do is to unite them around him, and at the same time help all strata realize their own interests, realize the highest interests of their own family - unify Yashan for thousands of years. The interests of all other strata had to stand aside in the face of the supreme interests of the Wang Lu family.

Chen Wei and Xie Ling still do not have this mentality of being a ruling class, they can't understand that the status of their family is actually determined by the growth history of Yashan, once they sit in this position, they must do their best to maintain it, otherwise, their family will fall from a high position, and it will be a catastrophe.

Wang Lu is not actually a qualified ruler, neither his education nor social experience can support his governance of Yashan, fortunately, he has special abilities, and it is the ability to help all classes achieve the most fundamental needs in the last days - survival and freedom from killing, Wang Lu can stand firmly at the top of Yashan.

But Wang Lu is not a fool, Feng Haiqi's warning about the ability, he also remembered it in his heart, Feng Haiqi is right about one thing, Wang Lu does not know where the ability comes from, and what changes will occur in the future, so he needs to be able to firmly hold the cliff mountain when his ability has problems. And Xie Yaguo's reform can more or less realize this wish of his.

Chen Wei suddenly asked, "How is that child?" ”

Wang Lu was stunned: "What child?" Which child? ”

Chen Wei said: "It's the first child in the Anhui school you said to post for help." ”

Wang Lu sighed: "That's a girl, she was seriously injured by hydrofluoric acid, in the photos she posted, her fingers were discolored, but when this child posted, he kept saying that it was his responsibility, because he didn't listen to the teacher's words and didn't wash it with water, and the school was very concerned about himself." Don't blame the teachers and so on – just when the school is planting all the black pots on the students' heads. This child is still consciously maintaining the collective, the collective in her heart. ”

Chen Wei let out a long sigh: "It's so pitiful. ”

Wang Lu said meaningfully: "I would rather come to pity others than others to pity me." This is a reproduction of "I would rather let the people of the world bear the burden of the world than let the people of the world bear me". Chen Wei and Xie Ling both understood.

Late at night. Xie Ling lay on the bed. Staring blankly at the ceiling with his eyes open, he didn't feel sleepy.

The cliff mountain has changed, and the king road has changed. Wang Bi'an has also changed, and even Chen Wei ...... myself, too, has changed.

Is this a good thing? Or is it a bad thing? I'm so stupid, where can I explain things in this world with two words, good and bad?

Xie Ling only felt that all this seemed to be unable to stop, and her body spun involuntarily, wrapped in an unknown front. It's a terrible feeling. My heart was empty and heavy, as if I wanted to grasp something, but I couldn't grasp anything.

At the door, there was a sudden soft noise.

Xie Ling was stunned for a moment, and then found that she had heard correctly, someone was knocking on the door, she suddenly sat up from the bed, and subconsciously wrapped the quilt tightly: "Who?" "--Hell, it must be Wang Lu, he's going to die, come to his room at this time!

However, a low voice came from outside the door: "It's me." "It's Chen Wei.

Xie Ling was stunned, jumped out of bed barefoot, ran over and opened the door, outside the door, sure enough, it was Chen Wei, she stopped Xie Ling's hand from turning on the light: "Don't turn on the light." Is your camera still there? ”

"What?" Xie Ling was confused.

"Camera, didn't the finance department send some household appliances some time ago, and there is a home camera in it, do you put it away after playing?"

"Ah, yes, I'll bring it to you."

Xie Ling found the camera from the drawer in the dark - this is really weird, in the middle of the night, Chen Wei Baba ran to her room to ask for the camera to do? But she knew that Chen Wei had a calm temperament and never did those mindless things, her heart suddenly twitched, it couldn't be an accident, right? In this family, if there is something that can alarm Chen Wei, there is only Wang Lu's business!

Xie Ling handed the camera to Chen Wei, but Chen Wei didn't answer: "I won't use this thing, you can shoot, by the way, don't use a flash." ”

Xie Ling said in a low voice: "This machine has an infrared night vision shooting function, and you can shoot without external lighting." She casually turned on the camera and let Chen Wei see the effect of infrared photography.

Chen Wei nodded: "Okay, it's okay, come with me, don't make a sound, turn on the camera." ”

Xie Ling's heart was beating, her sense of foreboding was getting stronger and stronger, she forced herself to calm down, held the camera that had already started to take pictures, followed Chen Wei, and walked down the stairs step by step.

The two went downstairs, past the living room, and towards the kitchen.

At the door of the kitchen, Chen Wei stood and made a gesture to Xie Ling behind her, Xie Ling looked through the camera viewfinder screen, in the infrared night vision shooting mode, everything in the kitchen was shrouded in a green light, and a figure was standing in front of the kitchen table, doing something.

It was Wang Lu, and for some reason, he was naked and bare-assed to himself.

Xie Ling firmly remembered Chen Wei's advice, and didn't make a sound, but just pointed the camera at Wang Lu, Wang Lu, who was chopping vegetables on the board, and was very serious.

Chen Wei came over and pulled Xie Ling slightly to change the angle, Xie Ling saw that Wang Lu was cutting fish, cutting live water perch, the perch was on the board, the gills were still in one piece, Wang Lu pressed the fish body with one hand, and operated the knife with one hand, cutting the fish with one knife. It's just that he cut the fish, unlike ordinary people, starting from the head of the fish, cutting it vertically with a straight knife, and then cutting the fish from head to tail with one knife after another.

Xie Ling had sliced raw fish meat at dinner, but she had never seen anyone cut fish like this, and the internal organs were not cleaned. She suddenly found that Wang Lu was cutting fish while thinking about something.

Xie Ling couldn't help but take a few steps closer, and then she heard clearly, what Wang Luzui was muttering was a sentence, three words: "Kill you." ”

"Kill you." "Kill you." "Kill you." "Kill you."

The tablet has no tonal change of three words.

Xie Ling felt a chill in her heart. She got up in a hurry, didn't even put on slippers, and stepped on the kitchen tile floor with her bare feet on the big winter night, but the chill in her heart was worse than the soles of her feet. She suddenly remembered that Wang Lu had been like tonight for a while, getting up in the middle of the night and eating alive, but then this strange sleepwalking suddenly disappeared, but tonight, Wang Lu was abnormal again.

The red shooting indicator on the camera screen was flashing, and suddenly, Wang Lu turned his head and looked directly at the camera—directly at Xie Ling and Chen Wei beside her, and said word by word: "Kill you." (To be continued......)
