Walk alone in the abyss

This uncle has become more and more hateful recently! No naps allowed!

Didn't know that in this time-accelerated virtual world, he must ensure ten hours of sleep every day, otherwise his brain will get tired easily!

Oh yes, he didn't know.

That's fine.

During the lunch break, Yang Ming sat under the parasol, drank iced drinks, crossed his legs, looked at the bald man in front of him who was yelling hard, stretched himself, and lay down on the table to take a nap.

Badoli's carefully planned plan to recruit club members in the classroom was declared bankrupt amidst the embarrassing smiles of the students.

Uncle Bartoli, who never gave up, took the two of them and started to set up a stall on the only way between the training ground and the dormitory.

The uncle's voice floated slowly in front of him:

"Student, do you want to know the truth of the universe?"

"Do you want to look into the distant starry sky?"

"Are you still worried that you have nothing to talk about when you chat with your girlfriend? Do you want to express your love to your girlfriend in the most romantic ceremony?"

"Follow us, the Cosmic Truth Investigation Agency, I will take you away... Hey! Why are you so rude, young man, listen to me before leaving! Take one of the leaflets and go! Alas! Young people are too impatient Already!"

Yang Ming looked up at Uncle Bardoli, who was walking back scratching his head.

Yang Ming immediately lowered his head and pretended to be asleep, for fear of being caught and standing on the street together.

"Here comes the lunch box!"

Edwan Kabuba trotted all the way, followed by a food delivery robot; he worked with the robot for a while, setting a sumptuous lunch on the long table by the roadside.

Boss Yang regained his energy in an instant.

Levi Badoli had a sad face: "What should we do? There are only three people in our club. If there are less than five people, this club can't be opened."

"Who told you that you must have five people?" Yang Ming asked in bewilderment.

Levi Badoli scolded: "The minimum of five members in the club is not common sense! You have no common sense!"

"Really?" Yang Ming picked up the knife and fork and began to eat.

Levi Bardolli scolded with a smile: "No, after you said 'really', shouldn't you have some excuses? You just come here to eat and drink for feelings? I invited you for today's meal! You ate My things will be sold to me in the afternoon!"

"There is class in the afternoon."

"It's my physical training class in the afternoon, you two yell at me in class!"

Levi Bartoli snorted:

"We only need five people, pay attention, five students, then we can form a club, and I will be your instructor. We can carry out a variety of campus activities, and we can go to eat and drink outside the school, using school funds."

Yang Ming's eyes lit up: "If you put it that way, it seems necessary to establish this club."

Edwan Kabuba gritted his teeth and scolded: "Don't talk about embezzling public funds so confidently, you bastard!"

"If we want to start this club, we must at least find the meaning of this club first."

Yang Ming said seriously:

"Do you want to know the universe? It is written in our history books that we were the defeated party and were exiled here, so everyone has a kind of fear of the universe.

"Can stargazing give a power boost? Apparently not.

"This is a high-level training base. Every awakened person who is sent here to participate in training is an elite in a certain area. In the future, they will also go to various areas to be the backbone. Everyone has a fulfilling life.

"In our club, there are only three activities that can be done so far, the first is to watch the stars, the second is to have dinner, and the third is to sit together after dinner and brag.

"Is there any attraction to these future elite backbones?"

Edwan Kabuba said: "You say it this way...the necessity for the existence of our community seems to no longer exist?"

"well!"

Levi Badoli sighed: "This is the end of the matter, let's eat first."

Yang Ming and Edwan Kabuba looked at each other, and then each laughed.

The three of them ate and drank on the side of the road, which attracted the attention of many passing students and faculty members.

After the three of them had enough water and food, the catering robot that had been waiting for a long time moved forward, took away the leftovers and small lunch boxes for them, cleaned the table, and walked back to the cafeteria unsteadily.

The gentle breeze brought the fragrance of the nearby grass and trees, and the light of the slightly tilted star shone on the ankles of the three of them.

The three of them lined up, slumped in simple chairs with backrests, each sighing comfortably.

"Daru, how long do you have to take the final test to go to the local government?"

"More than a year, probably, ours is more flexible."

"Can we go together?"

Edwan Kabuba said with some concern:

"I asked those seniors who fell in love in the high training base, and most of them broke up in the end."

Yang Ming frowned slightly.

Levi Bardolli: "Listen, something is wrong, you two are finally getting better?"

"roll!"

Yang Ming and Edwan turned their heads and cursed at the same time.

The bald uncle showed a slightly satisfied smile.

Yang Ming also wondered: "Why do you ask people this?"

"I want to hang out with you, keep hugging my thighs," Edwan Kabuba said with a smile, "Although the situation is different, the appeal is the same, that is, try to be assigned to the same area."

Levi Badoli on the side said with a smile:

"You don't know yet?

"After graduating from the high-level training base, there is not only the option of assigning a place to do defense work, of course, it is not just the option to stay in the high-level training base, or go to other training bases as a coach and mentor.

"There is another way."

Edwan Kabuba suddenly became interested: "What?"

"Become the legendary Yun Zhongwei."

Levi Badoli pointed to the white clouds in the sky, and said slowly:

"You should have seen it before, that is, when the smoke giant appeared, the two of you delayed for a long time, and then those powerful awakened ones descended from the sky.

"They are Yun Zhongwei, each of them is a powerful awakener above Lv50, and they are all selected from the high training base.

"Do you want to go to Yunzhongwei? I have a way."

Edwan Kabuba wondered: "Is Yun Zhongwei the kind of quick-reaction force composed of high-level awakened people?"

"This, so to speak."

Levi Badoli said with a smile:

"As far as I know, the Cloud Guardians are the best among the awakened ones, and their number ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Look at the clouds in the sky, many of them are enveloping their spaceships.

"In addition to dealing with possible mutants on the surface, they also have the task of protecting the core area underground."

Yang Ming also seemed to be interested: "The core area?"

"Specifically, I don't know too much," Levi Badoli said, "I'm just familiar with the instructors of Yunzhongwei. I also worked there for a while... Let's talk about the club. , what Dalu said just now is right, we need to have a program and let others know what our association is for.”

Edwan Kabuba smiled and said, "May I ask? Uncle, why do you want to start this club?"

"I?"

Levi Badoli's eyes became a little distant:

"We have failed, you know, our Catite ancestors, lost to our enemies a long time ago.

"Then we lost the skies and the ability to build spaceships.

"We have developed this planet to the extreme. If we want to move forward, we can only go out from here... There is no space, do you understand what it means?"

Yang Ming and Edwan Kabuba nodded at the same time.

"well!"

Levi Badoli said in a deep voice:

"However, most of us just bow our heads and live our own lives, constantly striving for the so-called life and superiority. No one cares whether we can obtain the ability to travel in space.

"Yes, whether you can go out or not seems to have nothing to do with individuals in this society, but, but when one day, the world is overwhelmed, what do we use to feed such a large population?

"That's the importance of resource reserves and resource future planning.

"Only by going out to open up new planets and find new homes can we maximize the viability of our civilization."

Edwan Kabuba asked, "But are the enemies watching us?"

"The enemy has been watching us."

Levi Badoli glanced at Yang Ming, and continued:

"After we were defeated by the enemy, the enemy never gave up on our supervision, they will keep an eye on our technological development, and once we are on the right path, they will hinder us and destroy us.

"We don't have a chance to make peace with them because they are the first movers, they are the ones who have a huge advantage, and they control everything about us from every angle.

"As long as we don't touch space technology and can't leap to a wider space, they won't have any restrictions on us, but as long as we want to upgrade ourselves and complete the self-leap of civilization, they will kill us desperately .”

Yang Ming said: "This is almost a dead end."

Edwan Kabuba asked: "The Kite people, that is, we, also wanted to challenge that powerful civilization back then, so we failed?"

"Yes, you have no access to this period of history. I also heard it from a few of my drinking buddies who study history."

Levi Bartoli sighed:

"Actually, from my point of view, I can understand our enemy, that is, the powerful civilization that once defeated our Kate ancestors.

"On the road of civilization development, they have gone earlier and farther, and the oppression of us latecomers has become natural and full of justice, because the rules are made by them. When we want to When they want to seek some benefits for their own development, they will accuse us of violating the rules that are beneficial to them.

"Yes, the universe is vast, but what is even wider is the brilliant civilization created by living organisms. As long as a certain amount of time is given and the population of this civilization continues to increase, this civilization can continue to expand outward.

"So I dare to assert that in the era of interstellar navigation, the right to development is the most important and basic right of a civilization.

"If there are other civilizations for no reason... Note that I am talking about no reason, no reason to deprive this civilization of the right to development, then you can define the other party, and the other party is an unjust act."

Yang Ming laughed suddenly: "So what about injustice? There is no such thing as a ruler who is above all civilizations, to bring divine punishment to civilizations that commit violence."

"Yes, this is the cruelest part of civilization."

Levi Bartoli's eyes are long and firm:

"You two must remember, of course, it's useless for you to memorize this thing, I just use a teacher's tone habitually to teach my students.

"The right to the development of civilization is the most basic right of civilization.

"From the perspective of civilization, if a war can allow this civilization to gain the right to develop, then it is acceptable for this civilization to lose 30% or more of its population.

"The population can be restored, as long as the self-awareness of this civilization does not collapse, and the spirit and culture continue to be passed on, the civilization that has obtained the right to development will soon be able to restore the population and continue to develop outward."

Edwan Kabuba said slowly: "I don't quite agree with your point of view, teacher. Although it is correct from the perspective of civilization, from the perspective of individuals, we may also pay attention to the life of each life." right to life."

"Yes, you are right."

Levi Badoli said with a smile:

"I'm just talking about an ideal environment where the collective respects the individual and the individual supports the collective, which is the basis for the development of civilization.

"But sometimes, when we face an invincible enemy, we must make ourselves more cruel than the enemy in order to meet this challenge.

"I think that in the era of great interstellar voyages, the disappearance and dissolution of civilization should be a frequent phenomenon.

"You have to look at the problem from the perspective of the entire civilization, so that it is possible to defeat those enemies who have developed many years before us."

"However," Edwan Kabuba asked rhetorically, "if individual appeals are not even respected, isn't such a civilization more likely to go to extremes? The premise of collective existence is not that each individual maintains sufficient individuality, not individuality. Is the interweaving of each other a collective? The individual sacrifices for the collective because the collective is worth the sacrifice of the individual, not for the sake of the collective."

"That's true," Levi Badoli was lost in thought.

Edwan Kabuba laughed, and said slowly: "I'm just talking nonsense, uncle, don't take it seriously, I don't understand this."

Yang Ming laughed and said, "You guys are actually talking about two things, and then confused these two things."

"Why?"

"Why are there two things?"

"Of course it's two things."

Yang Ming said calmly:

"Uncle is talking about how civilization can survive better, Kabu, you are discussing the relationship between the collective and the individual, and your views are all right.

"Contradictions are common among universes, and these two problems are not absolutely opposite.

"A person in power, a civilized consul, must first think about these two issues.

"First, how to make our civilization survive and develop continuously in the brutal competition among civilizations.

"Second, how to ensure the sanctity and purity of society within civilization.

"Respect individual personality, respect individual appeals, respect individual freedom, and allow individuals to participate in collective decision-making to a certain extent. Only meaningful sacrifices are made when individuals take the initiative to sacrifice for the collective. The collective demands that individuals die is just a manifestation of hegemony. And some privileged individuals who exercise hegemony are doomed to self-collapse due to the internal shear force of the entire civilization.

"Therefore, consuls must have a cruel side to the outside world, and a tolerant and loving side to the inside.

"However, the topic of our discussion seems to be wrong? Aren't we going to discuss how to recruit new people? Talking about the starry sky, civilization and so on, it's just full of food."

"belch!"

Levi Bartoli burped.

The three of them looked at each other, laughed non-stop, and continued to lie under the umbrella on the side of the road, waiting for the bell to start the afternoon physical training class.

...

On the cloud, inside an invisible spaceship.

Li watched the three of them quietly, a little thought flashed across his eyes.

This is not an ideal situation.
