Flowers Blooming in the Wasteland

"What's the matter, don't you like to hear that you are idiots?" Fu Yunlan stared at the crowd with sharp eyes, "Most of you can't even understand the basic language, and never take the initiative to learn what you don't know. Knowing things, you don’t know how to use your brain to think about things when encountering things. You always believe what others say, and jump out without thinking when you are incited by others. You don’t ask right or wrong or explain the reason. The big one is on which side, doing all kinds of stupid things to kill himself, and complacent that he can influence some major decisions. Yes, the rulers you have always encountered are always happy to please you in this cheap way, The phrase "your own homeland is your own decision" can make you willing to stay and work hard. You are doing the most humble work, and you are paid to barely starve to death, but you think you are the master of the town, thinking that you have the right and the obligation to overthrow everything. Things you don’t understand or don’t understand.”

The townspeople looked at Fu Yunlan dumbfounded. In fact, many people knew in their hearts that words like "being the master of the house" were just nice words, but no one had ever dared to expose these lies in front of people like him.

After all, all the people they have met who are in high positions and enjoy more food and resources are always willing to convince the poor that they are poor but dignified, and that although they are hungry, they are the masters of their own destiny. It is best to listen to these Soothing chicken soup for the soul can voluntarily take on more obligations in the future, but does not ask the ruler for any protection.

The townspeople have long been accustomed to being instilled with all kinds of inspirational chicken soup, but they have never seen someone in power call them stupid so bluntly, and Fu Yunlan mercilessly tore off this layer of inspirational veil, pointing directly at the heart Cursed: "You believe that substation towers have radiation, so you protest against the construction of substations. You believe that nuclear power will cause nuclear pollution, so you protest against the construction of nuclear power plants. While you are burning toxic plastic tires for warmth, you are protesting against the construction of waste-burning power stations. A little Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that sooner or later the equipment of the hydropower station will be unable to withstand the day, but you use your stupidity and so-called "ownership spirit" to shut out the available energy, preferring to embrace your ignorance and superstition Wait to die. I am not a father, not any leader you have ever met, and I will never compromise with your stupid 'public opinion' in order to make peace. I will put my words here today, me and my hurricane The mercenary group will fully support Celeste to tear down the waterworks and build a water purifier. You can choose, either shut up and work together to get through this difficult period, and share the benefits of the water purifier together in the future, or Pack your bags and get the hell out of Hummingbird Town!"

The townspeople looked at each other in blank dismay. Some felt that they had done something wrong, so they could only remain silent in embarrassment. I dare not be the first to stand up against it.

In the silence that swept the audience, Li Kailin stood up first: "I also support Celeste's decision. I know that his approach seems unreliable, but I am willing to believe that he will bring Hummingbird Town a new life." A brand new change, because just now, I witnessed a miracle with my own eyes."

She pointed to Celeste and said loudly to everyone: "He released the mutant from the cage, subdued the mutant with a mysterious power, and made the mutant bow down to him. He is not an ordinary person, he It’s a miracle, the savior you’ve been looking forward to, who else can you support if you don’t support him?”

The crowd began to whisper, some people were still skeptical about it, but some people had already started looking at Celeste with respectful and fearful eyes.

In fact, anyone who understands understands that it is impossible to awaken the rationality of these ignorant and superstitious "majority" with a few words. The best way is to obey their psychology and use their superstition to influence their behavior. .

Old Hunter also stood up and said: "I also unconditionally support what Celeste is going to do. Have you never thought that at such a young age, he can repair hydropower generating units, build water purifiers, what? Can repair, what else can explain all this except miracles?"

Doctor Coulson also stood up from the crowd of onlookers and said: "I can also confirm this. Not only has he repaired such a professional thing as a T-machine, he is also the only person I have ever seen who is not afraid of radiation. The plan to build a water purifier depends on I don't know if it's unreliable, but I can say for sure that he is definitely not an ordinary person."

Countless eyes of doubt, admiration, or expectation focused on the young man who had been keeping a low profile. Li Kailin turned her head and said softly to Celeste, "Hey, say something."

So Celeste said with a faceless face and in a volume about the same as usual: "I am preparing to create something to improve the current situation of human existence. You don't have to believe in my determination and ability. Just like what Lan said, oppose my plan." People can leave, and the most important thing that Hummingbird Town will lack in the future is people."

As he spoke, he walked through the crowd as if he had nothing to do with himself, and walked into the house.

"Let's break up, everyone." Li Jiesi, who had been keeping a low profile as if he didn't exist, finally stood up as a peacemaker at this moment, "I think that's the decision on the water purifier, everyone. Hurry up and save some more water to be serious, before the water purifier is built, the water must be stopped for a long time."

Although the protesting crowd dispersed, some people who really cared about the truth stayed behind, such as the mayor Li Jiesi, the doctor Coulson, old Hunter and others. They crowded in the living room of Fu Yunlan's house, waiting Celeste gave them a more reasonable explanation.

"The situation is as you know it." Celeste said, "I am not an ordinary person, and now I decide to do something extraordinary. If you expect me to explain all the causes and consequences clearly, you will only be disappointed. Because there are many things that I don’t understand myself.”

"What do you mean you didn't figure it out yourself?" Doctor Coulson couldn't help asking, "Can you stop making things so mysterious and explain to us a little bit more?"

Celeste didn't answer, Fu Yunlan reached out and stroked his hair: "Unhappy?"

Celeste still didn't speak, it was a tacit consent, and everyone couldn't help muttering in their hearts, from such a face that was expressionless when happy, and even more expressionless when unhappy, how did Lan see that he Happy or not?

Fu Yunlan took out a box of hard candy from her pocket: "Don't be angry, come, have some candy."

Only then did Celeste become a little interested: "Where did you get it?"

"As long as you have the heart, you can always get it." Fu Yunlan played tricks, peeled off the hard candy and handed it over, and Celeste opened his mouth to swallow the candy that was half exposed from the wrapper.

Li Kailin watched their little interaction with complicated emotions.

When it was rumored in the town that Celeste had an improper relationship with Fu Yunlan, she didn't believe it, but after Fu Yunlan was injured, all Celeste did for him was obvious to all, and now their relationship Changes have clearly occurred.

If in the past the two of them were still like an elder brother leading a younger brother, now they are so close that no one can fit in.

Beethoven came back soon. He opened the door generously and came in. When he saw the living room was full of people, he showed a surprised expression and said, "Are these all dinners for me? Master, you are so generous." It’s a pity that I’m full just now, can I save it and eat it slowly?”

Everyone present had heard what happened from Li Kailin just now, but seeing the mutant standing in front of them without barriers, they still couldn't help getting nervous.

"Stop scaring people," said Thelister. "I have a lot of questions for you."

"Well, I just don't want to scare them." Beethoven had seen the power of Celeste, and he didn't dare not listen to him anymore. He sat down on a sofa, and Coulson on the sofa was almost scared. Jumped out of the way.

"I think the issue that the master is most concerned about now is the True God Sect behind me, right? After all, you have already seen the power of the True God Sect." The mutant rubbed his chin and said, "I suddenly became a little curious, who killed it? The pastor they sent took his bracelet, can you tell me?"

"Lan made it, what's the problem?" Celeste said honestly.

People turned their puzzled eyes to Fu Yunlan. Not many people knew about it before.

Beethoven stood up and dealt with Yun Lan and gave a medieval gift that is relatively common in stage plays: "Please allow me to pay you [-] points of respect, after all, even us mutants can't do anything about that tortoise-like thing." .”

Celeste asked: "Why does the True God Cult have such high-tech armor?"

"Master, you are really full of unsolved mysteries." Beethoven said, "How do you know that this is high technology, not something like magic or magic?"

"Now is not the time for you to ask me questions." Celeste frowned, obviously unhappy, "answer me quickly."

Beethoven scratched his face: "Are you sure you want me to tell everyone what I know? I'm not exaggerating. I'm afraid that some people may lose the confidence to live after hearing this."

Celeste looked at the people present, and they also looked at each other, but no one had the intention of leaving.

"Don't worry about it so much," Thelister said. "No matter how terrible the truth is, the truth is the truth, and someone has to know it."

"Well, as I said, you can maintain the courage to fight because you don't know what you are facing." Beethoven said, "Maybe the master can easily clean me up and clean up everything Mutated people, but your real enemy is impossible to defeat. I know you must not believe it. After all, when you hear that the True God Sect is so sloppy, it sounds like a bad street cult name. You may think it is the same as Ordinary cults are no different, but in fact, there is a fundamental difference between True God Religion and all religions that have appeared in human history-the gods of True God Religion are real."
