By the time Bai Luo graduated and entered society, her predecessors had already blazed the trail. The mainstream thinking then was: let all suffering end with us. Don't let our descendants suffer what we suffered.
Under the banner of that mindset, Bai Luo lay completely flat.
When she saw online statistics showing that newborn numbers were continuously declining, she even felt a strange sense of delight—as if she were rebelling against this hopeless world.
Thus, when superhumans rose up and rewrote the order, when she saw those great figures hanging from the gallows in public squares, she—and many others—felt an irrepressible pleasure beneath their fear.
And when the court called upon young people to serve their country, this lie-flat mentality reached its peak.
The great figures treated ordinary people like grass. Yet when they themselves faced danger, they wanted ordinary people to die for their family's realm. In feudal times, young people might truly have been fooled by a rush of hot-blooded courage.
But in this era, everyone chose to lie flat.
After all, even if the court were replaced, their own circumstances could hardly get any worse.
When Bai Luo was studying, she read history and saw how Han territory had been invaded by foreign enemies, yet the people simply refused to resist. In her youth, she had been angry at their failure to fight, unable to understand it. But after society had beaten her black and blue, she understood.
What did the realm of kings, dukes, and nobles have to do with common folk?!
If the fall of the realm truly concerned every common man, then history would not have had such things as press-ganging able-bodied men.
Of course, the alliance later formed by superhumans was just as rotten. It seemed that one's position always determined one's attitude.
