Groups can only do two things, add icing on the cake and add insult to injury.
Those who delusionally think that they are the heroes who save the world are all fooled by the world in the end. The weakness of human nature has existed from the beginning, so the human world does not need saving at all. If everyone can take care of themselves and manage themselves well, there is no need for others to manage them. Those guys who call themselves masters and help the world, in fact, just want to make their lives more exciting.
Lao Li rejected Chen Binghui's many invitations. He would only fight for love, to love himself and the people he loves. Margaret is right when she says that the limitations of sub-gene life are greed, selfishness and short-sightedness in nature. No amount of redemption can eliminate this bad root hidden in genes. Judging from Lao Li's decades of experience in the arena, she is right.
When you appear in front of everyone as a savior, people will ask you to set a moral standard of absolute justice. You will enjoy the adoration and admiration of countless people, but at the same time you must not make mistakes. Because the jealousy derived from the selfish and short-sighted side of human nature will make everyone waiting for you to make a mistake. All it takes is one mistake and a hero becomes the target of collective vilification.
When you build something, you are also destroying something else. This is a law. The war on the Eastern Front has been going on for two years. Originally, the Allied Army was going to save the He people in the Dongying Province. However, since the war has been going on and the Guixu people have died down, the He people have begun to accuse the Allied Army of using the Dongying Province as the first line. The defense line brought huge disasters to the He people and the cities in Dongying Province.
From a hero to a sinner, the so-called morality is not the criterion. Rather, it is determined by people’s current desires. When the returning giant monsters come, they need heroes to lead them in battle. And when the war was over, all they needed was a house and bread. It is those former heroes who are least willing to face them.
The lives of god-level civilizations do not have such flaws. Their seemingly cold and simple interpersonal relationships are based only on common interests. It will not be influenced by emotions or group will. He maintains a pious and simple heart towards material elements, with the pursuit of absolute strength as his only goal. They tasted the freedom brought by power, but at the same time they unconsciously became slaves of power.
Lao Li just wants to be his own master, which is easy to say but not easy to do.
After the interstellar spacecraft hidden on the back of the moon flew away, the moon's trajectory and magnetic field energy have undergone great changes. The changes in the magnetic field and the large amount of elemental materials taken away by Guixu directly caused the earth's sea level to recede by two hundred meters. The receding of the ocean has brought about not only the demise of shallow sea life, but also the loss of large areas of land. On the surface, the space for human survival has expanded, but in fact it has narrowed the distance between continents. The direct consequence is that conflicts among various human forces intensify, and it is easier for Hexu creatures to enter the human world and wreak havoc.
The artificial intelligence government divides the world into several regions. The area where the original Chinese Civilization Circle was located was called the China Region. Different from the previous Allied Powers period, the Far East and Eastern Siberia were also included in the China Region. North America and South America merged into the Americas region. Africa, the Middle East and Europe were the Ottoman region. After the Guixu creatures occupied the Australian continent, the fate of all mankind has been tied together. If you want to survive, you must fight to the end with the Guixu Demon Gods.
The news reports about monster invasions from all over the world every day. Although these god-level civilization creatures with terrifying force are limited in number, each one has amazing combat effectiveness. He can massacre the residents of a city with a single strike. Ordinary humans are helpless against them. Only the Force User Association and the artificial intelligence army can resist their invasion.
In order to deal with the mysterious invasion and massacre by the Guixu Demon Gods, the artificial intelligence government joined forces with the Force User Association to set up rapid response mobile units in each region, composed of Force users and powerful artificial intelligence life forms.
No matter what, life goes on. The dead bid farewell to this bad era, while the living continue to move forward with a little hope.
Lao Li was a little disturbed by the invitations from Chen Binghui and Ye Hongyou, so he decided to live in seclusion. An Yiru chose to follow without hesitation. However, Li Mai and Li Mubai both had their own choices. Li Mai returned north to Eastern Siberia. Li Mubai inherited Lu Shaofen's super mecha and became one of the high-end combat forces of the Force User Association. Both siblings chose to fight for the fate of the majority of humanity.
The blood of young people is always hot, and Lao Li did not want to hinder the choices of the two siblings. Having beliefs and being willing to fight for them is not a bad thing for young people. He left the capital with An Yiru and came to live in seclusion in a famous maritime city in the eastern part of China.
Nana died in Nanyang, Lu Shaofen was killed by Bai Wuxia on the Eastern Front battlefield, Margaret was terminated by Lao Li himself, and Diana died in Uranus and Schroeder's laboratory. When the Troll Troops returned to the ruins and landed in large numbers, Wu Lanzhu also died on the Nordic defense line in order to retrieve his daughter who was taken away by Diana.
Now Lao Li seems to be strong, but his inner world is lonely and fragile. His strong mental will ensured that he could control the powerful potential in his body, but it could not help him erase the huge sadness in his heart. Fortunately, An Yiru is with her all the way.
An Yiru's style has not diminished, and is even better than before. Her wood natural force level has reached the peak of level eight, and she can stay young forever. It is equivalent to the most basic strength of the Guixu Demon Gods. In this era, it can barely be regarded as the best. The two returned to Nanianxiwei and became the boss and proprietress of an ordinary braised meat shop.
An Yiru was actually a little disappointed that Lao Li did not choose to stay in the capital and fight alongside Lao Ye and others. But to her, nothing is more important than Lao Li. Her cultivation of the Force has reached the primary level of a god-level civilization, but in her inner emotional world, she is still a mortal woman full of emotions and desires, willing to be crazy about love.
In the morning, while the man was still lying on his back, she was already busy at the farm in the suburbs. The man is responsible for running the braised food shop, and she is mainly responsible for providing ingredients for the braised food shop. In this era of highly developed food industrialization, it has become difficult to buy pure natural and pollution-free seasonings and ingredients. But An Yiru's eighth-level peak natural force, which should have appeared on the battlefield to defend the destiny of mankind, has become the foundation for the prosperity of the farm.
Lao Li does not have a fixed time to wake up. What time Nanian Ziwei opens depends on his mood. Whether the business is good or bad is not the point. The key is to have a place like this to have a drink with a few old friends, chat a few words, spend time in a peaceful life, and grow old with the world.
The artificial intelligence government provides humans with opportunities to work and survive, and the dungeon model is transplanted into the human world. The clothes with butt plugs that once made Lao Li feel a little disgusting appeared in large numbers in the city. As long as people wear this thing, people no longer need to work to meet basic survival needs, and they do not have to give up their bodies to transform into artificial intelligence states. In addition to eating those nutritious creams, you can also eat your favorite foods and do things that interest you.
The AI government chose to place its headquarters in the Red Sea region of the Middle East. The wish Schroeder made while in the dungeon appears to be coming true. A large number of humans have chosen this life. Although the gas collected by those leather plugs smells bad, it contains the most precious life source substance in the universe. In fact, the spiritual force that King Apocalypse obtained through religious belief is also this kind of substance, but it is relatively purer.
In this context, it is not difficult to imagine how bad the basic economic situation of society is.
Due to laziness, too many people have chosen to accept an artificial intelligence government’s survival method similar to captive breeding. Compared with the seven emotions and six desires of normal people in the past, they are more willing to believe in what the great human teachers say and obtain great spiritual power from quiet reading and meditation.
Because of the existence of the Force User Association, the artificial intelligence government is still unable to completely rule the world. So there are always some people who choose a different life. These people firmly believe that cultivation of the Force is the only way for human beings to survive and evolve. They maintained the habit of pious asceticism and at the same time maintained the living habits of ordinary people in the past. This group of people is Lao Li's most important source of customers.
Whether they are people transformed by artificial intelligence, captives wearing butt plugs to survive, monks pursuing the practice of the Force, or cyborgs from Eastern Siberia, they all have official identities recognized by the government. In addition, there are also some people who are aliens without formal identities. For example, Baiyun City under Bai Wuxia used drugs to change human genes to produce super humans. The demons who were contaminated by the returning monsters and the evil disciples of the Tiansha cult who possess the force. All are officially called primary monsters carrying the genes of criminals.
In this era of rapid evolution or rapid degradation, it is unclear whether interpersonal relationships are becoming more and more clear and simple. The taste of the old world can only be found in memory. The vast majority of people choose to follow the trend of the times. Few people want to live thinking about the past.
Yuan Chengde and Wang Hongjun's plan failed unexpectedly. Fortunately, Chen Binghui gave Lao Li face and did not hurt anyone. After Lao Li settled in Shanghai, he quickly got in touch with them. In addition to the two of them, there were also Jiao Xiaofeng and several other old buddies of the Mink Bear mercenaries.
These old friends were all followers of Lao Li and fought side by side with Lao Li in those turbulent years. In this new era of The Force Awakening, only a handful of them have awakened to a relatively elementary level of the Force, and their level is far behind that of this era.
It is a conventional law that has been formed in the human world for thousands of years. Being backward means being humble.
These brothers and friends of Lao Li were once the elites of their era. But now, they have all been left far behind by the times. In an era when the strong were respected, their lives were very difficult and too comfortable. If Han Jun hadn't served as the executive committee member of the Shanghai branch of the Human Awakened Association, these old guys might not even be able to keep their old family property.
The economy is in ruins and money is worthless. Corresponding to the era of rapid development, human consumption habits are regressing significantly. In a situation where the free economy is extremely sluggish and the consumer population is shrinking sharply, both banknotes and data payments have to withdraw from the stage of history. On the contrary, the past feudal era and the era of payment with gold and silver have returned.
While the artificial intelligence government led by Schroeder is trying its best to destroy the free economic system, the giants headed by Bai Wuxia are doing their best to establish a new free economic system. They forged large amounts of gold and silver to circulate in the market as currency. In the end, this matter received strong support from the Original Force Association and was legalized.
The situation of a free economy with gold and silver as its base currency can be imagined when artificial intelligence tries its best to suppress it.
The streets were deserted, and the business of Na Nian was still as light as water.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Meng Fanbing walked in with a face full of resentment. Her hair was gray and there were many obvious wrinkles on her face, but her eyes were still bright and high-spirited. Ask for wine as soon as you enter.
Lao Li stood by the counter and picked up a bottle of wine, put it in front of her, and asked with a smile: "Is it still on the account?"
Meng Fanbing nodded and said: "I will pay you back when my shop is sold." Then he said: "Don't worry, Shen Laocai has agreed to take over, but the price difference has not been negotiated yet." As he said that, he poured a lot of money. I drank a glass, looked at the transparent wine glass with infinite nostalgia, took a shallow sip, wanted to put it down, picked it up again, and took another sip.
"Open up and drink." Lao Li said softly: "We have been friends for decades, am I still afraid that you will default on your debt?" He added, "It doesn't matter even if you really default on your debt."
"Fart!" Meng Fanbing said unceremoniously: "Although I, Meng Fanbing, am a prostitute, I have been in the business world for so many years. Spitting is like a thorn. Friendship is friendship, and business is business." With that, he drank the wine in the glass. All.
Lao Li calmly presented her with a plate of fennel beans and a plate of sauced beef tendons that were both delicious and delicious. Said: "I know you like to eat things from the sea. Let those grandsons in Guixu make trouble. You can't get anything edible from the sea. Everything you can get is inedible. This beef tendon with sauce is more delicious. You can do it. Eat."
Meng Fanbing was a little touched. She raised her head and looked at Lao Li. Apart from a shaggy beard, there were no traces of years on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. In comparison, people of her own age were much older. She sighed and said with emotion. : "Now that we are standing together, who can tell me that I was your first woman and you were my first man? I am afraid no one will believe it. I look like I could be your mother."
"Bullshit." Lao Li said, "You want to take advantage of me. There are still a few wrinkles on your face." After saying that, he lightly scratched her forehead and said, "You look young, don't talk nonsense." Eight ways.”
"Come on, among us who came from Coal City, you are the only one who has kept up with this era." Meng Fanbing said: "Wang Hongjun has become an old man now. I'll tell you the truth, I actually raised money a long time ago. I tried to transplant a chip, but I failed the rejection test and couldn’t do the surgery, so I had to wait to die.”
"Don't be so miserable, isn't there one last step?" Lao Li said: "It's really not possible to change to an artificial intelligence body."
"Go away." Meng Fanbing said angrily: "Why don't you let your beautiful little wife change it?"
Lao Li smiled and said: "We still have seven emotions and six desires, but we can't bear to part with this body."
Meng Fanbing said: "I'm not that old that I don't like the fireworks of the world. From time to time, I still want to find a living person to have a friendly fire."
As soon as the door opened, An Yiru walked in from the outside, took a look at Meng Fanbing, nodded and said: "Sister Bing is here."
"Stop it!" Meng Fanbing raised his hand and said, "If you call me that again, don't blame me for spitting shit on you. It doesn't matter which one of us is older. If you still welcome me to sit here, don't call me sister again."
An Yiru smiled and said, "Okay, then I will follow Lao Li and call you by your name." He then said, "Have you heard that something happened in the Delta?"
"What happened?" Wang Hongjun asked as soon as the door opened, kicking in and out.
An Yiru said: "The artificial intelligence government has promulgated a new law. This time it is aimed at the catering industry. It has greatly improved the relevant industry standards. Then there is an old restaurant in the Delta that does not comply with the regulations. A rectification notice was issued three times." In the future, before the business is closed, the artificial intelligence monsters in the city hall who will not eat, drink or fart will be served in a pot, and the whole family including a forty-year-old son will be arrested and put on fart plugs. "
"Hey, I'll go, that's a bad dish." Wang Hongjun took it upon himself to make enough food and clothing. He ran directly to Lao Li's counter and pulled out a bottle of wine. He drank a big glass first, and then continued: "Then I'll help you with the restaurant." Lao Yuan and I have been there several times, and the food is really good. In terms of standards in all aspects, it is much better than what you two have here. His place has closed down, so how can we escape here?"
"As you said, we are really doomed this time." An Yiru said: "This time it is a unified standard for the whole world. All free economies and those in the catering industry that cannot meet the standards will be shut down immediately. In order to prevent the spread of viruses created by Guixu monsters that target the human spiritual world, anyone who refuses to cooperate is suspected of having an affair with Guixu monsters. The simplest ones can be arrested and put on butt plugs, and the worst cases can be directly transformed into artificial intelligence bodies. ”
Meng Fanbing cursed angrily: "These bastards who eat people without spitting out their bones are too overbearing!"
Wang Hongjun sat down next to her and said with a playful smile: "Sister, we are not angry, who asked us to catch up?" Then he turned to Lao Li and said: "Brother, listen to my brother's advice and close the door as soon as possible. Don't be stupid like before. In the past, the government was done by people. Now it's all a bunch of machines. Your approach won't work anymore. Let's just close the door. Anyway, there aren't many transactions going on all day long. For business, why don’t you live directly with me and Lao Yuan after you close the door, and it’s not against the law to eat and drink by yourself behind closed doors, right?”
"It's still illegal." An Yiru poured cold water on her and said, "This time we have introduced a smoke emission bill. Anyone who violates the standards will be punished in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. Our alley must have exceeded the standard." Maybe the law enforcement team from the city control center will already be on the road and rushing here by now."
Wang Hongjun suddenly had a bitter look on his face and said: "Does this come back to him? Why don't we let others live a good life until they die?"
Lao Li chuckled and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter what they do. Our store won't close no matter what."
Meng Fanbing said: "Don't try to show off. Even Chen Binghui has retired and stopped caring about the world. If you really have this ability, you won't make people rush back here. It doesn't matter that we brothers and sisters eat less and drink less. You can Don’t get yourself involved in this.”
Wang Hongjun said: "How about asking Lao Yuan to find Han Jun again? See if we can find a way through the Force Users Association?"
"Dream on." Meng Fanbing said: "The Force Users Association is responsible for city defense and disaster response, and it has long been at odds with the artificial intelligence."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of neat footsteps came from outside the alley. Not long after, a group of fully armed artificial intelligence staff came outside the store.
It really lives up to the old saying, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here.
At this time, the majestic-looking and adorable kitten that An Yiru had been holding in her arms suddenly meowed. An Yiru glanced at Lao Li, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. This little thing is not a master who likes to make a fuss. A mere law enforcement team shouldn't be able to induce induction.
While several people in the store were listening to the commotion, another person came from the alley entrance. He was over three meters tall, with a well-proportioned body and long golden hair shining in the sun. He strode outside the store door and said unceremoniously. I got ahead of the law enforcement team and was about to enter, but I was blocked by the team leader of the law enforcement team.
This man didn't talk nonsense at all and raised his hand directly to the law enforcement team.
A ball of white light lit up, and a loud bang came from outside the door! (End of chapter)
