The problem of racial discrimination has been around for a long time, even in ancient times in the old days. But in the new era, the level of determining ability depends on genes and potential, not skin color and race. This is a well-known truth, but there are still some deeply rooted and corrupt ideas that have been extended from the old days to the present.
The humans on the Central Continent are dominated by the British and American races, in other words, the white-skinned races account for the vast majority. Therefore, it is not surprising that there will be discrimination problems, but the cities that Zero has stayed in before are all in the wilderness. There is a large flow of people in the city in the wilderness, and it is difficult to form a sense of belonging in the city. But Asgard is different. Ben firmly attracts people living in this city through a special system.
These people have developed a sense of belonging to Asgard and are proud to be legal residents of the city. Under such circumstances, there will be little turnover of personnel, and once the vast majority of the fixed personnel form the same atmosphere, discrimination will inevitably occur. Due to the particularity of the new era, this phenomenon is more often manifested in the military.
Veterans look down on recruits, and white soldiers look down on people of other colors. These behaviors may seem irrational, but they are real.
Just like the Su trio in front of him, Zero suddenly understood that he would be assigned to this dormitory. Perhaps it was not because Ben simply wanted him to integrate into the army as soon as possible, or maybe it was because of the consideration that if Zero was assigned to other dormitories, he might not get the favor of other white soldiers. accept.
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Feng Yi clapped his hands and said, "In order to celebrate Ling's joining, let's go to the tavern to celebrate. Their fried veal steak is well done, how about it, I treat you!"
He patted his chest hard, but it was a pity that Feng was not that kind of tall man, so his appearance was not only not heroic, but rather funny.
Su Bai glanced at him and said: "Do you have so many merit points to squander?"
"Not much. Last time we put Rankin and his team together, the rewards we got were just enough for us to squander. Let's go!" Feng couldn't help but push the black Mapei to go out.
In this way, Zero followed them to a tavern near the camp. The tavern is opened by the military department of Asgard, and there is such a tavern in almost every barracks. In the barracks, soldiers are not allowed to drink or hide alcohol. If you want to drink, you can only go to the military tavern to drink. But here, merit points must be consumed, and the charge is twice that of the tavern outside.
Such a tavern, on the one hand, provides a place for the soldiers to spend their excess energy, and on the other hand, it recycles the meritorious points of the soldiers, thereby stimulating these soldiers to work harder to complete the task, which kills two birds with one stone.
Naturally, the military tavern could not be as lively as other taverns. After all, not everyone has a lot of merit points to squander like this. Therefore, when the three of Ling and Su walked into this tavern, although it was already night, the tavern was sparsely populated, not as lively as the taverns in the wilderness city.
A ceiling fan spins limply in the ceiling of the pavilion, and a jukebox in the corner plays sleepy country music. Most of the dim lights are concentrated in the center of the hall, so the surrounding corners appear dim. In these dim corners, soldiers in twos and threes were drinking and eating. But when a few people came in, most of them raised their heads and cast unfriendly glances at them.
Zero naturally didn't take these gazes to heart, and under Feng's leadership, he came to the bar. Behind the bar, an old gray-haired bartender was wiping a row of empty wine glasses on the bar. Feng threw her ID card in front of the bartender and said, "Hi, old Henry. Give us a bottle of whiskey and four servings of fried beef." Grill."
The bartender Henry silently picked up Feng's ID card, then swiped it across a scanner on the bar counter, and then said to Feng lightly: "Young man, your meritorious service does not seem to be enough to pay this fee."
Feng's smile immediately froze on his face, he jumped up and said: "Old Henry, you didn't see clearly!"
The bartender said blankly: "Although I am old, my eyes are not dim."
Feng wanted to say something else, but Su had already removed his ID badge and moved it to the bartender, saying, "Let's use mine."
Old Henry silently took Su's ID card and swiped it, and after looking at it, he returned it to Su, and then shook the bell on the bar. Soon a young bartender came over. Old Henry quickly wrote down the menu and asked him to send it to the kitchen. Then he took out a bottle of whiskey and four wine glasses from the wine cabinet, and finally put them on a plate and moved them to the kitchen. To Zero Four.
"I wish you a pleasant meal." Old Henry said lightly.
Watching him turn and leave, Feng gave him a middle finger, and then filled the four wine glasses.
"Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate Zero's joining!" Feng said loudly.
Ling smiled and picked up the bouquet, touched the bosoms of the three of them, and drank it down in one gulp. In the previous process, although Zero had various companions around him, in general, he was fighting alone. But at this moment, when watching the four wine glasses collide, Zero suddenly realized that in the next few days, he would have three more comrades in arms.
Perhaps, it's time to end the life of a lone wolf. In his heart, Zero said to himself.
The wine glass was put down abruptly. After drinking this glass of wine, even Mapei, a black man who had always been quiet, smiled. Things like wine are indeed a good thing to bring men closer. After several drinks, Mapei and Ling had already chatted without saying a word. During the conversation, I learned that Mapei was also a mercenary before, so the two had more topics in common.
Before the main course was served, Su went to the bathroom. Her cheeks were flushed because of the whiskey, which made Su look even prettier. Su was a little excited, no one knew Zero's ability better than her. At that time, the scene of Zero ending Raff's life with two shots in the wilderness is still vivid in my mind. With the addition of a sniper like Zero, the team will be able to handle more battle situations.
Like all soldiers in the boot camp, Su aspired to become a full member of Doomhammer. In this way, she can receive more tasks, get more rewards, and even use them to buy the precise information she needs. Whether you can graduate smoothly depends on the team's overall performance.
With Zero joining, Su believes that their team will achieve even better results.
After washing her face, she left the bathroom and walked through the dark corner of the tavern. But when passing a table, under the dim light, one hand touched Su Gao's buttocks.
