Gao Fei forwarded the webmaster's summons order in the team channel, took Jiang Feng and Ma Yun, and teleported back to Tiangong Base.
Just five minutes later, Ma Tao, Qi Tian and Wang Daqing also arrived one after another.
"Brother Fei, the webmaster is in a hurry to find us. Will he have to go on a business trip to handle a case again?" Qi Tian inquired excitedly, "Let's make it clear first that if there is a mission, you can't leave me behind again!"
"Don't worry, Xiaotian, you will definitely be indispensable this time." Gao Fei confirmed with a smile, "If I guess correctly, this mission should be related to the 'hero medicine'."
"Hero drug?" Ma Tao became interested, "It's the kind of drug Deng Hui took. There is a one-thousandth chance of making ordinary people evolve into mutants?"
"To be precise, it is a temporary evolution." Gao Fei explained, "The effect of the hero medicine can only last a few hours. Taking too much can cause side effects, ranging from shock to sudden death."
"The most disgusting thing is the black-hearted drug dealers!" Jiang Feng said bitterly, "They don't even mention the side effects before selling the drugs, and they are not responsible for eating dead people. They are completely indifferent to human life!"
Ma Tao, Qi Tian, and Wang Daqing looked at each other without saying a word.
"Sister Feng, to be honest, even if the drug dealer explains the side effects in advance, it may not be able to dissuade buyers from purchasing the hero drug." Qi Tian broke the silence.
"Xiaotian! You probably misunderstood the hero medicine because you thought it was a drug." Jiang Feng retorted sternly, "According to the analysis of Tiangong's scientific researchers, this medicine is not addictive."
"People who take drugs, including those who are addicted to cigarettes and alcoholics, mainly because they cannot overcome their addiction and know in their hearts that it is wrong, but they have to spend money to buy things that are harmful to their health to anesthetize themselves and relieve pain, just like taking painkillers
of patients.”
"We can blame them for being weak-willed, but we should also sympathize with their inability to help themselves."
"Hero medicine is not addictive and there is no forced factor. As long as people understand the terrible side effects of this medicine, they will naturally give up buying hero medicine for health reasons."
"Jiang Daxia, you overestimate the rationality of ordinary people and underestimate people's desires."
Ma Tao shook his head gently.
"Isn't hero drug addictive? You are wrong. The desire for extraordinary power and the dream of becoming a master are far more addictive than drugs."
"Suppose I am a grassroots person at the bottom of society, with a life that is not satisfactory, a failure in studies, and a meager income. I am treated like a beast by my boss every day, and I dare not fight back when I am bullied. I see that I have no hope in this life, and now someone suddenly tells me,
You can become a 'superhero' by taking one pill. Even though I knew there was a risk of sudden death, I couldn't help but give it a try."
"Xiao Tao is right. In fact, before I became a special police officer in Tiangong, this was the way I lived."
Wang Daqing said with deep sympathy.
"I also had a lot of cynical thoughts. For example, one year when I was working on a construction site, my boss ran away at the end of the year, and most of my salary for the year was wasted. At that time, I really wanted to strap a bag of dynamite and find the evil boss.
, dragging his whole family to death together..."
"There are as many low-class people in society who are worse off than me. Do you think they will look forward to the future rationally and optimistically?"
"If there was a button placed in front of people, and pressing it would destroy the world, there would probably be a lot of people who would be willing to press it."
"Hero medicine gives everyone an opportunity to open a blind box, give it a try, and have the possibility of making a comeback. Isn't this more exciting than working as a cow and struggling to survive?"
"In contrast, sudden death is more of a 'gift' than a side effect of the hero drug."
Wang Daqing sighed.
"You must know that there are still many people in this world who cannot see hope for the future and are burdened with pressure from family and society. A quick death is a luxury."
"For them, gaining superpowers after taking medicine is certainly a jackpot, but dying suddenly and painlessly after taking medicine... is not a consolation prize."
After hearing Wang Daqing's words, Jiang Feng was speechless.
Gao Fei was also deeply touched.
Both he and Jiang Feng belong to the post-2000 generation, and the environment in which they were born and raised is generally not bad. Their family backgrounds are considered small bourgeoisie, and they lack understanding of the living conditions of the lower class of society. From their own cognitive perspective, it is easy to
Come to the superficial conclusion of "why not eat ground meat".
If not for the Silver Flash outbreak, people from different social classes were pulled into the Heavenly Palace and became colleagues, Gao Fei would never have interacted with Wang Daqing and Hao Le in his life, and certainly would not have interacted with wealthy families like Zhou Guanqun and Li Jiajia.
If the disciples meet, even Jiang Feng is unlikely to befriend him.
These invisible and insurmountable barriers are social realities.
The rising tide of Blue Star's magic power has given all mankind an opportunity to completely reshuffle the cards in addition to the inherited capital such as nationality, skin color, family background, and wealth. They are all in front of a new and equal starting line. This will undoubtedly help
Break down existing class barriers.
From this perspective, "Hero Medicine" and "Silver Flash" have similar characteristics:
No matter you are a child of a powerful person or a low-income person, rich or penniless, after taking the medicine, you have the same probability of awakening your superpowers and the same probability of sudden death.
Isn't this fair?
If an adult voluntarily accepts such a gamble, is there any reason to dissuade him?
On the contrary, trying to prevent the popularization of "hero medicine" will only strengthen the social status quo of solidified classes, making the strong stronger, the weak weaker, the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer. This is not necessarily a good thing for human society.
.
With mixed feelings, Gao Fei followed his teammates into Yao Guang's office.
As expected, the webmaster called everyone to a meeting, with the purpose of tracing the source of the "hero medicine".
"As for the origin of the 'hero drug', we have found some valuable clues. It will be very difficult to continue to trace it. We need to send a professional team to go abroad to handle the case. Your 05 team is the most comprehensive SWAT team on this site.
Do you have the confidence to take on this task?"
Yao Guang's gaze fell on the faces of Gao Fei and others, with expectation hidden in his eyes.
"Wow! I'm going abroad!" Ma Yun asked excitedly, "Sister, stationmaster! Where is the business trip? How long will the business trip be?"
"The mission location is in the southwest of Irian Island in the Republic of Batavia. If your trip goes well, you should be able to complete the mission within two months." Yaoguang replied with a smile.
"Two months... is too long!" Ma Tao shook his head repeatedly, "Brother Fei, Daxia Jiang, Xiaotian, and Brother Daqing and I are all fine. Ma Yun still has to go to class, so don't go this time."
"Ma Tao! I don't need you to make decisions for me!" Ma Yun blushed with anxiety, "Of course I want to go!"
