Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

The breakfast ended in ten minutes. The children put on the anti-epidemic suits that were said to be able to isolate bacteria, viruses and devils. They were assembled in class and prepared to enter the devastated and enchanted town again.

This is the first time that Li Yao passed Thangka’s eyes and saw the “purification troops” stationed next to the camp. He saw a team wearing a scorpion, armed soldiers, and supersonics whizzing from time to time. The battle shuttle, as well as a black mountain-like floating warfare, floats over the campsite, the black hole's barrel and the creaking track, monitoring and suppressing the entire city ruins.

At the same time, Li Yao also perceives that among thousands of children, many people have a slightly rapid breathing and an uneven heartbeat.

“I feel more and more that this ‘ultimate test’ has a problem.”

Li Yao said faintly, "Last night, you told me that because of the serious occupation of Black Star, the serious shortage of troops, let these 'student soldiers' put into actual combat, and take the graduation test by the way - this is consistent with the information I got before. In my intelligence, your strength is indeed scarce to the extreme.

"However, in the case of such a shortage of troops, a large-scale purification unit is still stationed next to it. It will be nothing to watch you for seven days. This is too much... wasting valuable troops?

"You know, the Imperial Army has occupied the thick soil for several years. It is the transportation hub of the front line. The imperial people have spent a lot of manpower and resources to build the Black Castle Star. The underground is full of criss-crossed secret castles, secret passages and military arsenals, even You have occupied all the Star Harbors and important ground facilities. Who can guarantee that there are no sporadic imperial resistance elements hidden in the ground? When this is tight, every soldier can't wait to use it in half, so one The fighting force is quite powerful. There is no reason not to search and kill, but to accompany you guys to play boring games in the safe area.

"Even if the commander of the purification unit wants to select a new person, there is no need to station the entire unit here. It is enough to send some military officers plus a rank-level grassroots commander.

"So, if this purifying unit is not just a simple 'onlookers', then they must be guarding or alerting, right?"

The Tangka dynasty's resident of the purification army - the murderous sword squad looked at the jungle and wondered: "The whole thick soil has returned to the embrace of the gods. The imperial people are impossible to attack in a moment. When it comes to attack, there seems to be nothing particularly valuable here. It is worthwhile to be motivated to protect and alert!"

"Yes, I thought about it, and I don't think this purifying unit is guarding the Imperial Army. There seems to be only one answer."

Li Yao calmly said, "They are guarded and vigilant - you are."

"Me, we?"

Thangka can't believe it, and even feels aggrieved. "Why? We are the purifiers of the future, I want to be a member of them!"

"I am afraid this is the problem."

Li Yao sighed. "Because, as far as I know, the general sacred people are rarely going to dream, and the purifiers' demands are only higher than those of ordinary sacred people. How can they allow casual dreaming? Is the stability factor infiltrated?"

"This, this is the professional requirement of the purifier!"

Thangka’s emotions are once again like the sea sweeping by the wind, and it’s about to waver. “We must have certain emotions and thoughts, that is, the ability to dream, in order to identify dangerous goods!”

"No, you are wrong. As long as there is a detailed list of dangerous goods and a description of dangerous goods, 99% of dangerous goods can be identified by the cold program."

Li Yao is cold and cold. "The purifiers don't need to know what is 'artwork'. Just seeing 'a colorful picture' and destroying it, isn't it convenient and reliable? Back 10,000 steps Even if you really need the so-called "cleansing with delicate emotions and keen thinking", the number is not too much, such a high-level military, as long as it is responsible for 1% difficult to identify dangerous goods, it is enough.

"You have thousands of people here. I believe they will not be the only graduates of the "Light Academy" who will receive the ultimate test. There must be similar tests elsewhere. Yes, there are too many, no. necessary."

Despite last night's emotional control, Thangka's breathing was still unconsciously rushed, and there seemed to be two flames that gradually faded.

"What do you want to say?"

Thangka murmured, "What do you mean, this is not our graduation exam, not the purification team is selecting new people, what is it!"

“I don’t know, I need more information to analyze the next step.”

Li Yaodao, "I only know that thousands of children here, mostly like you, have strong emotions and sharp ideas like electricity. Even if you lie in your body, I can feel them and the general sacred ally. People are different. If the ordinary sacred people are like a frozen lake, then the ice in your brain is making a bang.

"Not just you, but all the children, the 'ice layer' in your brain is cracking, something is unstoppable, and it is like a sprout that breaks out when spring blossoms. Yours... Humanity is waking up to the speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's not surprising to think about it - in the past ten years, you have been living on a monotonous starship, facing the silver-white walls, receiving the most rigorous training, and compressing all desires and thoughts to the limit. Like a spring that is compressed to the limit.

"But, one day, you were placed on a habitable planet, facing an empire town that was rich in materials. Although the town was attacked by war, your number is not much, leaving The supplies are enough for you to release your nature, unscrupulous and happy to play for seven days and seven nights.

"In these seven days and seven nights, you are the masters of this city. You can do any little tricks. All the adults, the mentor and the officers and men are far away from you, just watching them silently. - What is this? It is a person who is hungry for three days and three nights, thrown into a steaming buffet restaurant, let him do whatever he wants!

"If this is the way to test the purifier, I have to say that such a test is too wasteful and complicated."

Thangka has been silent for a long time.

"I……"

He choked silently. "I want to be a purifier, I want to dream!"

"Don't be excited, the more excited you are, the farther away from the purifier's dream."

Li Yao released a warm current and calmed the young man's trepidation. "The only good news is that you are not the most excited, most exciting, and most 'extraordinary' of thousands of children. In fact, I trained you to teach you. After the tips, your performance is quite calm, others are even worse than you!

"I originally thought that you are the only 'heterogeneous'. Even with such rich thoughts and delicate emotions, I happened to hit it. Now it seems that everyone is the same. You thousands of people, most likely Filtered according to certain criteria, or..."

"Or what?"

Donka asked.

"Nothing, let's go, see and talk."

Li Yao originally wanted to say that these thousands of people are rich in thoughts and delicate in emotions, not like the children of the sacred people, perhaps "produced" by some standard.

After thinking about it, before there is no conclusive evidence, this kind of words should not be said indiscriminately, so as not to disturb the mind of the little guy and make him even more lost.

Under the leadership of the squad leader, the children of the Thangka class once again took the spar chariot driven by the mentor, came to the edge of the town and walked into their own purification area.

I don't know if it was because of Li Yao's psychological suggestion. Thangka really felt that everyone today is a bit weird and different from yesterday.

When they entered the city yesterday, they mostly looked like icy machinery, just following the steps to carry out the purification task.

But today, their gaze, their breathing, the vibration of their facial muscles, their rather unnatural gait...

After thinking for a long time, Thangka knew how to describe the quirks of the students.

Everyone is like them, looking forward to the towns in front of them, as well as the towns in front of them, or the ones in their hearts.

Crossing the dancing statues that were shattered into pieces yesterday, they reset the deeper assembly point. This is a colorful three-story building with a small yard and a rotation in the yard. Trojans and slides or something.

"here is……"

Thangka’s gaze is like glue, and it sticks to everything he sees. “A kindergarten, where the imperial people cultivate future generations, is the same as our nursery?”

"Yes."

Li Yao said, "This is the 'palm tree', that is, all the children are covered with colorful paint, pressed to the white walls, like the leaves of the big tree.

"That was a carousel. After the children sat up, the teacher pushed slowly alongside. Ah, this carousel seems to sing."

"This bag can hold the children's feet inside, and then the children will bounce around the bag, who will jump farther and faster."

"……I do not understand."

Thangka said, "What kind of ability can you train in such a poor training?"

"Do not train what ability."

Li Yaodao, "I just want to be happy."

"They seem to be really happy."

Thangka’s gaze passed through the empty kindergarten and projected onto the opposite wall. There were hundreds of children’s paintings on the wall, capturing the happiest moments and the most childish with the most gorgeous colors and the worst techniques. Hope.

"Yeah, I think they have reason to be happy."

Li Yao explained, "The first batch of thousands of people who went to the frontline to participate in the reconstruction of the planet were mostly bankrupts and even slaves in their hometowns. They were at the bottom of the original society, and their children were naturally incapable and less qualified. What kind of kindergarten?

"Only when the adventure comes here, a new land of hope and prosperity, their children will have the opportunity to live a life they can never dream of, as happy as you can see, I think, this is colonization. Why did you name this city 'Xinle City'?

"Unfortunately, these colonists have not considered the risks involved, or they have no choice. This is the only place of hope.

"Now, where are the children in this kindergarten?"

"I, I don't know."

Tangka suddenly did not dare to look at everything around him, especially the colorful trees of hope that the children took pictures with his hands. He said, "There has not been a large-scale exchange of fire in the city. The children should be fine, just sent. Go behind -"

"Going to be purified?"

Li Yao asked.

Somehow, Thangkalian did not have the courage to answer a "yes". The word "purification" ran with magma and venom, burning his soul.

Thangka is silent, Li Yao is silent, in silence, I hear the teenagers around me – or the big children’s rapid breathing and heavy heartbeat.

“Level 1 hazardous area!”

The squad leader shouted with a scorpion. "This is the nest that the gods breed, and immediately and thoroughly cleans it!"

No one is moving, and all the "children of the Light" stand silently, or look at each other around, or think deeply, or look at another human lifestyle.

"Is still doing something, have you heard it?"

The squad leader raised his voice and his voice became more and more harsh. "Purify, purify and purify everything here!"

"what!"

Liao Meng, the deputy squad leader, screamed, his pale face rolled down the white sweat, and his look went to the extreme, picking up the flamethrower and painting the children's palms and toys and carousels.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

All the "children of the Light" smashed the trigger and destroyed everything that was in sight. In a moment, the colorful kindergartens fell into a sea of ​​fire and smoke.
