Ignore Ren Yingda’s complaints.

Xu Liping followed Ren Yingda and strode forward.

After leaving the base's special [Secret Realm Gate Teleportation Dedicated Underground Isolation Room].

The two soon arrived at a small, ordinary-looking building.

Surrounding it are rooms that look independent and upscale, but are still no different from normal offices.

But Xu Liping understood.

Although it looks simple, it actually hides many special designs.

Not to mention the multifunctional formation set up outside the building to dispel idlers.

The building itself is equipped with space expansion techniques.

From the outside it looks like a six-story building with each floor about 500 square meters, but from the inside it actually appears to be dozens of times larger.

After all, as the Eternal Day Base stationed in a large survivor base in Shaanxi, the number of floating population here is still quite large.

The extra space is quite necessary.

If it really took up such a large space in reality.

Not to mention whether the formation can still hold up if idlers are dispersed, it is indeed a waste of resources if such a large real space is occupied.

There is no need for Eternal Day to occupy the space of ordinary survivors' bases.

Xu Liping followed Ren Yingda all the way up.

From the third underground floor to the fourth above ground floor.

This is the staff dormitory, used by temporarily assigned and permanent members of Yongzhou. Peripheral members who have missions at the Shaanxi Survivor Base and nearby can also apply to stay here.

But in most cases.

In this day and age, only formal members can carry out missions everywhere. Peripheral members mostly only carry out related tasks within the survivor bases where they live. They have their own residences.

So there are four floors of staff dormitories.

Basically, it is only available to permanent members of Yongzhou and those who are temporarily assigned. The peripheral members go back to their homes when they get off work.

Stop at a relatively new room.

Ren Yingda took Xu Liping to familiarize himself with the various facilities and functions in the room.

Generally speaking, there is nothing strange about it.

The welfare benefits and facilities of Yongzhou’s various bases are basically the same, and the rooms are equipped with all the necessary functions. They are basically low-end versions of the accommodation rooms in the Shanhai Realm of the headquarters.

"The disability support program is just getting started. You should stay here for a few more days before you have something to do."

Ren Yingda looked at Xu Liping who was lying on the bed.

I told him what I had heard in the past two days.

The disability assistance program is a large undertaking and no corners can be cut in the early stages of preparation.

These formal members who are designated to take responsibility can now take a break for some time.

"Really? That's good."

When Xu Liping heard Ren Yingda's words, his expression did not change much.

It's naturally good to be able to rest.

But he had rested enough.

He now.

I would rather be busy.

While Xu Liping was deep in thought, he heard Ren Yingda standing at the door and said, "Take a break first. It's almost time for dinner. After dinner, I'll take you to visit the Shaanxi Survivor Base."

Hearing this.

Xu Liping jumped up from the bed and looked at Ren Yingda: "What are we having for dinner today?"

Eating is one of the biggest motivations for living.

Xu Liping is no exception.

Yongzhou’s quality assurance in food has always been beyond doubt.

A delicious dish with good color, aroma and taste.

Most of the members of Yongri have become foodies.

"Let's have some mutton soup with steamed buns, what are we talking about?"

Ren Yingda said with a smile in his not very fluent Shaanxi dialect.

Being able to eat meat after the disaster.

It can be considered as one of the benefits of being a member of Yong Zhou.

·························· The meal is over.

Xu Liping began his after-dinner walk in the large survivor base in Shaanxi.

I have to say.

As one of the less than fifty large survivor bases in the world.

The overall prosperity here is no less than that of the metropolis before the disaster.

Apart from the fact that the overall architectural style is practical and compact without too many frills, this survivor base rebuilt on the original site in Xi'an is not much different from the city before the disaster.

On the main road.

You can see that the pedestrians coming and going have a different spirit from the residents of the small survivor base.

besides.

There are many man-made machines that look like the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Dynasty, marching in orderly steps on the streets.

It was as if the countless relics underground in Shaanxi had come alive, and people and cultural relics were coexisting in harmony.

But the people around were not surprised.

They knew that it was the official daily patrol garrison force of the survivor base here.

And as far as Xu Liping knows.

Many of the technologies of these man-made machines were based on Yong Zhou's New Qin external forces.

After all, the officials of major countries had previously had contacts and transactions with the New Qin's external troops.

It is not surprising that some basic Terracotta Warriors and Horses man-made machine technology has been initially applied here in Xinqin’s hometown.

Just a few casual glances.

Xu Liping continued to wander around aimlessly.

In a small square under a dormitory building, he saw a little boy surrounded by several children in a corner.

The little boy huddled in the corner.

He hugged his knees with his hands and buried his head deep in his thighs, not daring to lift it up.

The children surrounding them did not move their fists or feet, but they kept talking without restraint, seemingly without stopping.

Adults in the neighborhood came and went in a hurry.

I don't have time to take care of these kids playing around.

After all, with the presence of the Terracotta Warriors patrol robot soldiers, there are basically no bloody or injured incidents in the survivor base.

There is probably nothing noteworthy about the children playing around.

Moreover, we are in the post-order era today.

Even if parents whose children are still alive receive child-rearing subsidies, they still need to work hard to provide a good living for their family.

so.

They also don't have much time to take care of the children who are having fun downstairs of the dormitory.

However, Xu Liping noticed what was happening in the corner of the square.

Faced with many children watching, the little boy raised his head, stretched out his hand and wanted to say something.

But he was discovered by the children who were surrounding him.

They took several steps back and said:

"We don't want to play with you!"

"Dad said that if the nuclear bomb had exploded, you guys who survived the disaster area would not come over to share resources with us."

"Ah! Stay away from me! It will bring bad luck if someone like you comes near!"

"Why don't you just stay in the shelter? Don't come here!"

······ Children may understand or may not understand the power of these words.

But the little boy who was spoken to immediately lowered his head after hearing these words.

Obviously it was a big blow.

He was ostracized by all the kids around him.

Yes.

This is a culture of discrimination.

Although it was not very obvious among the survivors, it was still spreading quietly.

Many children have been affected.

This led to the scene that Xu Liping saw.

Xu Liping knew about this situation.

The post-disaster restoration team is already trying to solve this problem.

But it can't be solved overnight.

The fundamental reason for the culture of discrimination.

It is the emotions of the disaster survivors that need to be vented.

The direct cause was the decision made by the global united front on the third day after the disaster to abandon some areas and launch a nuclear strike to eliminate the monsters.

This decision was made because there was simply no extra manpower to investigate how many possible survivors there were in the worst-hit areas.

We can only assume that it does not exist so as not to affect the subsequent combat plan.

Chen Yidian’s arrival prevented the nuclear weapons from exploding, causing all the monsters in the world to die instantly.

but……

The small number of survivors who were abandoned in that decision naturally became the bottom of the contempt chain.

This chain of contempt, which was formed at an unknown time, or should we say has existed since ancient times, is the best means for survivors to vent their repressed emotions.

Only by making yourself appear superior through contempt can you feel that you are not so miserable now and release your repressed emotions.

The few people who survived in the hardest-hit areas have no power to refute anything, and their best choice is to become the punching bags at the bottom of the contempt chain.

The so-called reasons that the survivors in the hardest-hit areas have squeezed the allocation of resources and that the survivors in the hardest-hit areas will bring bad luck to others are nothing but seemingly reasonable nonsense.

Survivors in the hardest-hit areas are at the bottom of the contempt chain.

It’s just because they are few in number and cannot refute.

Most people need a small number of people to sacrifice and become punching bags for them to vent their emotions.

After the disaster.

Yong Zhou and the Global United Front held public memorial services, various appeasement policies, distributed White Feather mobile phones, and conducted public beta tests of virtual reality games.

It relieved the survivors' depressed emotions.

In addition, the Idun religion is popular all over the world and enlightens the minds of many believers.

So the culture of discrimination does not seem too obvious.

but……

It still exists.

And it is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At least in front of Xu Liping, a replay of the culture of discrimination was happening.

Those kids probably don't know anything.

But their behavior is a replica of their parents.

It is the other side that parents hide.

Parents are influenced by their children and make them become like them, naturally becoming the middle and high-end people in a certain contempt chain.

Inadvertently.

Children's words become knives that hurt people.

Stare for a moment.

Xu Liping took three or two steps forward.

The prosthetic left arm mimics the appearance of normal skin.

In addition, there is basically no need to worry about security issues in the city due to the strong government rectification.

So the children looked at Xu Liping approaching without showing any abnormal expression.

Just a little suspicious of his approach.

"Have you finished your homework? Uncle, if I remember correctly, corporal punishment is allowed in the unified teaching standards of the post-order era."

Xu Liping raised his eyebrows and spoke in a calm tone.

There was an obvious threat in the words.

Yes.

In order to ensure that the schools that have been restored with great difficulty in the post-order era will not be useless, and to let the children who survive the post-order era know the importance of learning.

Mild corporal punishment is permitted.

It is written into the unified teaching standards of the post-order era.

If these little brats don't finish their homework within the specified time...

Then you will be beaten with a stick.

However, although these little kids were scared, none of them went back to do their homework.

Xu Liping curled his lips helplessly.

Then, he released a barely detectable amount of the aura he had accumulated since becoming a member of Eternal Day.

After looming over these little brats.

It obviously made them shudder.

The next moment.

The children scattered.

Seeing this, Xu Liping held his breath and looked at the little boy who was also preparing to leave after seeing that everyone else had left.

"Hey! Why are you leaving?"

Xu Liping looked calmly at the little boy who had just been surrounded and discriminated against.

Looking at the way it shrinks and stops.

Xu Liping vaguely recalled his childhood.

The me who loved running around in the mountains of Shu was always timid when facing strangers.

later.

Or maybe it was his increasingly stronger body after moving to the big city that made him gradually gain confidence.

Xu Liping knows.

The method of becoming confident on your own is most likely not applicable to the little boy in front of you.

Even though they all look timid.

But he was just shy when he was a kid.

And this little boy was discriminated against.

“Um…I didn’t do my homework.”

The little boy held it in for a long time.

I managed to say this.

Xu Liping shook his head helplessly at this obviously lame lie.

"What's your name? Where do you live?"

"Let me take you back."

Xu Liping looked at the little boy.

No unauthorized offer of help was made.

Just said send him back.

After all, dealing with the culture of discrimination is not his responsibility, and he will soon be busy with the development of a disability assistance program.

"My name is Chi You, and I'm a child from the hardest-hit area."

"Live in...Sunshine Homes."

The little boy named Chi You answered Xu Liping's questions word by word.

It had not occurred to him to refuse to answer.

Maybe it’s because I still long to communicate with others.

"Sunny Home..."

Xu Liping murmured without saying much.

The naming rule for the post-disaster resettlement residential areas for survivors at the Shaanxi Survivor Base has always been [Shaanxi ** No.], which is simple and clear.

Sunshine Home is not a resettlement residential area.

While he was eating, he heard the introduction from Ren Yingda, who had been here a day earlier.

Sunshine Home.

It is the name of the adoption agency opened at the survivor base in Shaanxi as part of the [Reconstituted Family and Orphan Adoption Agency] program launched by Yongzhou and the Global United Front.

It specializes in adopting orphans under the age of 18 who have no guardians, as well as children under the age of 18 whose guardians are not capable of raising them.

This work.

It started just a few days after the disaster.

after all.

Children are the future.

Apparently, this little boy named Chi You is also a child living in an adoption agency.

"Let's go. I'll take you there."

Xu Liping smiled slightly and led the way towards Sunshine Home.

Behind him.

Chi You, who thought Xu Liping would not respond, was stunned for a moment, and then a light flashed in his eyes.

He is not a fool.

Children mature faster after disasters.

Chi You naturally knew that this uncle appeared to help him out when he tried to make friends but was rejected.

He thought that he would not be treated kindly after he revealed the origins of the severely affected areas.

but.

It seems there are still good people.

Chi You looked at Xu Liping's back as he walked forward.

There were a few gleams in his eyes.

Then he immediately followed.
