Chapter 777: Going Abroad to Investigate Cases
Gao Fei forwarded the stationmaster's call in the team channel, and took Jiang Feng and Ma Yun with him to teleport back to the Tiangong base.
Just five minutes later, Ma Tao, Qi Tian and Wang Daqing also arrived one after another.
"Brother Fei, the stationmaster is in a hurry to find us. Is he going on a business trip to handle a case again?" Qi Tian asked excitedly, "Let me make it clear first. 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 smiled and promised, "If I'm not mistaken, this mission should be related to the 'hero drug'."
"Hero drug?" Ma Tao became interested, "Is it the kind of drug that Deng Hui took, with a one in a thousand chance of making ordinary people evolve into mutants?"
"To be precise, it is a temporary evolution." Gao Fei explained, "The effect of the hero drug can only last for a few hours. If you take too much, there are side effects, ranging from shock to sudden death."
"The most hateful thing is the black-hearted drug dealers!" Jiang Feng said hatefully, "They don't mention the side effects before selling the drugs, and they are not responsible for the death of people. They are completely disregarding human life!"
Ma Tao, Qi Tian, and Wang Daqing looked at each other and said nothing.
"Sister Feng, to be honest, even if the drug dealers explain the side effects in advance, they may not be able to dissuade buyers from buying hero drugs." Qi Tian broke the silence.
"Xiaotian! You probably think hero drugs are drugs, which is why you have such a misunderstanding." Jiang Feng refuted seriously, "According to the analysis of Tiangong researchers, this drug is not addictive."
"People who take drugs, including those who are addicted to smoking and drinking, are mainly because they can't overcome their addiction. They know in their hearts that it is wrong to do so, but they have to spend money to buy things that damage their health to numb themselves and relieve pain, just like patients taking painkillers."
"We can blame them for their weak will, but we should also sympathize with their helpless situation."
"Hero drugs are not addictive, and there is no forced factor. As long as people understand the terrible side effects of this drug, they will naturally give up buying hero drugs for health reasons."
"Jiang Daxia, you overestimate the rationality of ordinary people and underestimate people's desires."
Ma Tao shook his head gently.
"Hero drugs are not addictive? You are wrong. The desire for extraordinary power and the dream of becoming a superior person are far more addictive than drugs."
"If I were a grassroots person at the bottom of society, with an unhappy life, poor academic performance, meager income, and treated like a beast by my boss every day, and I dare not fight back when bullied, and I saw that there was no hope in this life, and now someone suddenly told me that taking a pill can turn me into a 'superhero', even if I know there is a risk of sudden death, I can't help but give it a try."
"Xiao Tao is right. In fact, before I became a special police officer in Tiangong, this was my life."
Wang Daqing said with deep sympathy.
"I have had many cynical thoughts. For example, one year when I was working on a construction site, the boss ran away at the end of the year, and most of the salary for half a year was wasted. At that time, I really wanted to tie a bomb, find the black-hearted boss, and take his whole family to die together..."
"There are so many people in society who are worse off than me. Do you think they will look forward to the future rationally and optimistically?"
"If there is a button in front of people, pressing it can destroy the world, I am afraid there will be many people willing to press it."
"Hero drugs are equivalent to giving everyone a chance to open a blind box. If you take a chance, there is still a possibility of turning over. Isn't this more exciting than working like a slave and surviving?"
"In comparison, sudden death is more of a 'gift' than a side effect of hero drugs."
Wang Daqing sighed.
"You know, there are still many people in this world who can't see the hope of the future, and have to bear the pressure from family and society. It's a luxury to want to die quickly."
"For them, getting superpowers after taking medicine is certainly a jackpot, and sudden death without pain after taking medicine... is also a consolation prize."
After listening to Wang Daqing's words, Jiang Feng was speechless.
Gao Fei was also deeply touched.
He and Jiang Feng both belong to the post-00 generation. The environment in which they were born and raised is generally good. Their family backgrounds are considered to be the petty bourgeoisie. They lack understanding of the living conditions of the bottom of society. From their own perspective, it is easy to draw a superficial conclusion of "why not eat meat porridge".
If it weren't for the outbreak of silver flash, which caused people from different social classes to be pulled into the Tiangong and become colleagues, Gao Fei would never have intersected with Wang Daqing and Hao Le in his life, and of course he would not have intersected with rich kids like Zhou Guanqun and Li Jiajia, and even Jiang Feng would not be likely to make friends with him.
These invisible and insurmountable barriers are the social reality.
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 at a new and equal starting line, which will undoubtedly help break down the existing class barriers.
From this perspective, "Heroic Medicine" and "Silver Flash" have similar characteristics:
Whether you are a child of the rich or a low-level cattle and horses, rich or poor, after taking the medicine, you have the same probability of awakening superpowers and the same probability of sudden death.
Isn't this very fair?
If an adult voluntarily accepts such a gamble, what reason is there to dissuade him?
On the contrary, trying to prevent the popularization of "Heroic Medicine" will only strengthen the social status quo of class solidification, making the strong stronger, the weak weaker, the rich richer, and the poor poorer, which is not necessarily a good thing for human society.
With mixed feelings, Gao Fei followed his teammates into Yaoguang's office.
As expected, the stationmaster called everyone to a meeting to trace the source of the "hero drug".
"We have found some valuable clues about the origin of the 'hero drug'. It is very difficult to continue the investigation. We need to send a professional team to go abroad to handle the case. Your 05 team is the most powerful SWAT team in this station. Do you have the confidence to take on this task?"
Yaoguang's eyes fell on Gao Fei and others, with expectations in her eyes.
"Wow! Going abroad!" Ma Yun asked excitedly, "Sister Stationmaster! Where is the business trip? How long will it take?"
"The mission location is in the southwest of Irian Island in the Republic of Batavia. If your trip goes smoothly, you should be able to complete the mission within two months." Yaoguang replied with a smile.
"Two months... too long!" Ma Tao shook his head repeatedly, "Brother Fei, Jiang Daxia, Xiaotian, and Brother Daqing and I are all fine, but Ma Yun still has classes, so she shouldn't go this time."
"Ma Tao! You don't have to make decisions for me!" Ma Yun blushed in anxiety, "Of course I'm going!"
