Autumn, late autumn.

    The world is a remnant.

    With the bleak autumn wind, the world seems to be cold again.

    On a sad and beautiful campus path, students wearing masks hurried in the autumn wind, one meter apart from each other, no communication, and the atmosphere was cold and depressed.

    Lu Xiping was halfway there and suddenly stopped.

    He looked at the envelope in his hand and looked up at the countdown in the sky [1005 days + 23:58:03].

    At the next moment, he continued to move forward and became more and more determined. Just between the lightning and flint, he had determined the most important decision in his life!

    He went straight to the teaching office.

    He knocked on the door, heard the response and pushed in.

    "This classmate, what can I do for you?"

    Because Lu Xiping was wearing a mask and couldn''t recognize his face for a moment, the director of the education office asked him what he wanted.

    Lu Xiping put the envelope in his hand on the table and said, "Hello, director, I''m here to drop out."

    "Drop out?!"

    The teaching director showed a surprised expression: "why did you drop out?"

    Then he opened the envelope on the table and saw the drop out application form inside

    Lu Xiping said: "because of my personal development ambition, I decided to drop out after careful consideration."

    "Lu Xiping, are you Lu Xiping?" the teaching director pointed to Lu Xiping''s mask: "take off your mask."

    Lu Xiping did.

    The teaching director saw the familiar and beautiful face.

    A pair of black eyes, slender eyebrows, high bridge of nose, with a melon seed face and thick broken hair, the standard appearance of small fresh meat.

    The only pity is that he is thinner.

    Lu Xiping is only 1.7 meters tall and weighs less than 55 kilograms.

    After confirming that it was Lu Xiping, the top student, the teaching director felt a little incredible and persuaded: "Lu Xiping, China Conservatory of music is the best music school in China. Others can''t squeeze in, especially in the troubled second year, you''d better go back and think about it for a few days. Don''t be impulsive!"

    Lu Xiping was deeply saddened to hear that the past five years had passed in a twinkling of an eye.

    Five years ago, a zombie virus with a meat crown swept Bluestar, and all parts of the world fell one after another.

    The leaky house happened to rain at night. At this time, a mysterious alien civilization suddenly appeared in outer space.

    They call themselves the creators of human civilization. Because they believe that the evolution of human civilization has failed, they decide to destroy human civilization and let the blue star enter the next cycle of civilization.

    Later, I don''t know how China, the only surviving country, communicated with the alien civilization. The alien civilization decided to give China three years. If China failed to solve the zombie crisis three years later and make the human civilization continue, the alien civilization will continue to carry out the task of destruction. Since then, everyone can see a huge number of time floating in the sky wherever they are. The time limit in the three bodies is that Zhizi appears in front of people, but here it appears above the blue star.

    As if to warn the only surviving Oriental people on the blue star that you have only three years.

    It is sad that there is only one Chinese country left after the prosperous and diverse Blue Star civilization. A large number of zombies were blocked outside the national border. In addition, alien civilization blocked the way out of space. As the only hope of Bluestar village, China fell into the double desperate situation of zombies encircling the country and aliens encircling the ball!

    If this is a game, it''s the beginning of hell!

    "Thank you for your kindness. This is the result of my careful consideration." Lu Xiping was very firm.

    The teaching director puzzled: "Your grades are so good. You are the best student in our school. You have very high musical talent. You have written songs popular with musicians since you were a sophomore. You are proficient in more than ten kinds of musical instruments and have won many competitions. In this way, you will be a great musician like Beethoven in the future. I don''t understand. What path can you compare with this achievement? What do you want to do after you drop out Well? Why not write it clearly on the application form? "

    Lu Xiping hesitated for a moment and said word by word, "I''m going to join the army."

    "What? Say it again?"

    "I''m going to be a soldier and guard the Great Wall!"

    The Great Wall is an important fortification for China to defend against zombies. It was written into the strategic plan as early as four years ago.

    This is also the main reason why China can stand out and become the only surviving country of Bluestar. With the wisdom and experience of the ancients, while helping the small countries around to clean up the invaded zombies, China began to build a new Great Wall on the border to resist the wave of zombies in the future.

    At this time, China''s attribute of being an infrastructure maniac is fully reflected. Three months after reaching an agreement with alien civilization, that is, this autumn, China finally connected the Great Wall on the border line through working day and night, forming a great wall with a total length of 22000 kilometers.

    However, since the construction of the Great Wall, zombies have launched hundreds of sieges, and the army has also suffered heavy losses. In order to make up for the front-line troops and prepare for the blue star crisis, China has to recruit a large number of troops to the society. Now recruitment banners can be seen everywhere in the streets, and recruitment advertisements are all on the Internet, television and radio.

    It was after careful consideration that Lu Xiping decided to respond to the call and quit school to join the army.

    Before that, Lu Xiping never thought that he would one day embark on this unimaginable road.

    "Poof!"

    The teaching director couldn''t help laughing: "don''t I look down on you and go to the army with your physique? Stop it. Well, Lu Xiping, you are born an expert in playing musical instruments. What weapons do you play? You can''t play. Understand? Go back to class!"

    "Director, I''m serious!"

    Lu Xiping was a little angry and suddenly drank high. The sound of shock echoed in the teaching room.

    The teaching director yelled, picked up the drop out form, looked at it, and said, "your drop out form has no signature from your parents. You certainly haven''t discussed with them. Wait for me. I''ll find your parents."

    After several phone calls, the dean of the Conservatory of music and Lu Xiping''s parents arrived one after another within half an hour.

    The Dean looked at the stubborn student in front of him and gently advised him, "Xiping, you are my most valued student. Listen to my advice and don''t drop out on impulse, okay?"

    "Dean, I know you are for my good, but my decision is not impulsive!" Lu Xiping said calmly.

    The Dean added, "you may not understand the hardships of being a soldier. I used to be a soldier. I''m very tired. The discipline in the army is strict, and the food is not as good as outside. Coupled with your physique, I''m afraid I can''t even pass the military examination. Even if it''s over, I''m sure to faint after exposure to the sun for a few hours. I can''t stay in the army at all."

    "Dean, please don''t be alarmist. I''m thin, but I''m not so fragile. I believe my physique can be enhanced through exercise!"

    Lu Xiping doesn''t believe the dean''s nonsense at all. This bad old man is very bad.

    The Dean smiled bitterly: "I may have exaggerated elements, but the hardships in the army are really beyond your imagination. Of course, the most important thing is your talent. Your talent is in music, not in physical quality. You are not born to be a soldier. Why waste your talent?"

    "But learning music can''t save the country!"

    Lu Xiping blocked the dean''s theory of talent.

    "Come on, let''s have a good chat!"

    Seeing the dean''s failure, Lu Qingquan went to his son. He took his son and sat on the sofa together, slowly lighting a cigarette.

    Seeing this, Lu Xiping pushed the ashtray in front of his father.

    Lu Qingquan shook the ash and said with a smile: "It''s wonderful that you didn''t learn from me about smoking. To tell you the truth, I''m glad you have the heart to serve the motherland. But I''ve taught you before that the most important thing for a person is to recognize yourself. You don''t have the talent to be a soldier. Even if you barely go to the battlefield, you just sacrifice in vain, and you may drag down your comrades in arms. You might as well learn music well. When you have achieved something, you can go to the border director again Wouldn''t it be better to go to the city to comfort those soldiers? "

    "Dad, you can see the countdown in the sky. We only have three years. No, we don''t even have three years now. If no one guards the great wall of the border, once the zombie tide breaks the great wall of the border, we will be doomed again. To say 10000 steps back, even if the zombie tide can''t break the great wall of the border, if we can''t solve the zombie crisis in three years, we also need to go back Was destroyed by alien civilization. At that time, no matter how well I learn music, what''s the use? Sing to zombies? Or use music to move aliens? "Lu Xiping said angrily.

    Lu Qingquan said, "but we can''t all go to the front line. If workers, scientists and farmers all go to the front line, where will the military supplies come from? In this way, the country will only die faster. Now the best way is for everyone to perform their own duties and do their own things well. This is the most useful contribution to the country and society."

    Lu Xiping sighed and said, "if I study biology, chemistry and physics, maybe it''s still useful to stay in my own post, but learning music really can''t save the country. I can''t control what others think, but I can''t deceive myself and others and make myself regret. In short, I decided this matter after careful consideration. Please support me!"

    "You bastard, why can''t you listen to the advice of your elders?"

    Lu Qingquan angrily patted the cigarette in his hand directly on the table: "if you want to quit school, I just don''t sign. How do you quit?"

    "If you don''t sign, I''ll be absent from school. Anyway, as soon as the time comes, I have to quit if I don''t quit according to the school rules!" Lu Xiping was angry and said stubbornly.

    "You TMD..."

    Lu Qingquan was so angry that he wanted to slap his son

    But one hand held Lu Qingquan, and Meng Yufen said angrily, "you are a man. How can you scold me when communicating with your son? There is nothing like being a teacher. There is something wrong. If you can''t, let me come!"

    "Mom, will you support me?" Lu Xiping looked at his mother Meng Yufen.

    Meng Yufen said slowly: "Maybe you don''t know. I had a hard labor when I gave birth to you and almost killed two people. Later, your health was not good. I named you Xiping. I hope you will be safe in your life. But now, you are going to be a soldier, go to the battlefield and take the most dangerous road. In the future, you are doomed to be bad. You are always a piece of meat that fell off me. How can I put it as a mother How can you bear to live up to your parents'' upbringing? "

    Lu Xiping looked dejected and said: "Mom, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can''t be perfect, but now times have changed, and you can be filial when you are loyal. If the great wall of the border is broken, you will also become food for zombies. I guard the great wall of the border to protect you. I hope you can live a safe life. Besides, I don''t necessarily die when I go to the battlefield. Your son is not stupid, let alone a reckless man. I apologize to you You promise that you will try your best to survive on the battlefield and carry back the final victory. Mom, you can rest assured! "

    Meng Yufen looked at her son with a firm face and was worried and happy for a time.

    After half a ring, Meng Yufen sighed and said: "I only ask you one last question. When you volunteered for the college entrance examination, your father and I asked you to apply for computer or mathematics, but you had to take an art school and learn music. You also said that music is your life. You can''t live without music, so we followed your wish, but now you want to leave music. Have you ever thought about how to live?"

    Lu Xiping was stunned and said more firmly: "music is my life, which has never changed, but now... I have found something more important than life."

    Although it was not stated, everyone present knew what it was.

    Everyone can''t help but look at Lu Xiping with new eyes. Maybe he has really been thoughtful!

    "Well, mom supports you!"

    Meng Yufen was moved by her son''s will and was ready to sign the drop out form, but Lu Qingquan stopped her: "Yufen, wait..."

    "Roll, you don''t sign, I sign, I believe in my son''s ability!" Meng Yufen shed a tear on her drop out form when she suddenly broke away from her husband''s palm.

    Lu Qingquan explained, "you misunderstood. I mean, let me sign first. However, it''s not the drop out form, but the suspension form. Since my son insists on becoming a soldier, we''ll let him try. However, he must also prove his ability to survive in the battlefield, so that we can rest assured."

    Meng Yufen''s eyes lit up with hazy tears.

    Lu Qingquan continued: "Smelly boy, you just said that you would try your best to survive in the battlefield. Then you should first get the first place in the recruit training period, so that we can believe that you really have the ability to survive in the battlefield. If you can''t reach the first place in the recruit training period, you have to come back and continue to finish your studies. This is an agreement between our father and son. How about it ？”

    "OK, mom and Dad, I promise you!"

    Lu Xiping only pondered for a few seconds and resolutely agreed to Lu Qingquan''s conditions.

    With his intelligence, how can he not understand that this is his father''s way to retreat, that is, he wants to retreat himself under strict conditions, but he believes that there is nothing he can''t do under his own ability and will. If he really can''t do it, he can come back to study music at ease.

    Dropping out of school turns into suspension. There is no way, and the dean and teaching director can only agree.

    After completing the suspension procedures, Lu Xiping and his parents left.

    The dean and the teaching director looked at Lu Xiping''s emaciated figure through the window and discussed it.

    "Dean, do you think Lu Xiping can win the first place in the recruits'' training period?"

    "Are you kidding? You think it''s so easy to get the first place in recruits'' training? When I was in the army, I was in good health and only about the tenth place. With Lu Xiping''s thin body, let alone the first, I''m afraid I can''t even pass the military inspection. In short, this is a good thing. He will come back naturally after he hits a wall outside."

    "Hey, hey, ginger is still old and spicy. Lao Lu''s move is really powerful!"
