The problem of racial discrimination had existed for a long time, even in ancient times. But in the new age, the ability to determine is determined by genes and potential, not by skin color and race. This is well-known, but there are still some deep-rooted rotten ideas from the old era to the present.
In other words, the majority of the human race in China is British and American. So it's not surprising that discrimination arises, but the cities that were previously here are in the wilderness. It is difficult to form a sense of belonging in a city because of the large amount of people moving around in the wilderness. But Asgard was different. Ben had a special system of attracting people who lived in the city.
These people had developed a sense of belonging to Asgard and were proud to be the legitimate residents of the city. In such cases, there is little movement of people, and once the majority of a fixed number of people form the same atmosphere, discrimination arises. Because of the special nature of the new era, this phenomenon would often appear in the army.
Veterans despise recruits, and white warriors despise other races of color. These actions, while seemingly illogical, are real.
Just like the three people in front of him, Zero suddenly understood that he would be assigned to this dorm. Perhaps he didn't want him to join the army as soon as possible, or maybe he was considering that he would not necessarily be accepted by the other white warriors.
"Alright, let's not talk about that." Feng clapped his hands, "To celebrate the entry of zero, let's go to the tavern to celebrate. Their roasted veal steaks are done pretty well. How about it, I'll treat you to dinner! "
He strongly patted his chest. Unfortunately, Feng was not a tall and sturdy man. Thus, his appearance was not heroic and was instead somewhat comical.
Su Bai glanced at him and said, "Do you have that many merit points to spend?"
"Not much. Last time, after dealing with Langley's team, the reward we got was just enough for us to squander a bit." "Let's go, let's go!" Feng didn't say anything further and started pushing the black horse outside.
So Zero followed them to a tavern near the camp. The tavern was opened by the Asgard Military Department, and there was one in almost every barracks. In the barracks, soldiers were not allowed to drink or hide alcohol. If he wanted to drink, he could only do so at the military tavern. However, in here, merit points were required to be spent, and it was even twice the cost of the tavern outside.
Such a tavern would provide a place for the soldiers to wear out their excess energy and would also collect the soldiers' merit points. This would stimulate the soldiers to work even harder to complete their tasks. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Naturally, the military tavern wasn't as lively as other taverns. After all, not everyone had a large amount of merit points to spend. Therefore, when Zero and Su Bai walked into this tavern, although it was already night time, the tavern was sparse. It was not as lively as the taverns in the wilderness.
The ceiling fans in the sprinklers were spinning feebly, and the jukebox in the corner was playing sleepy country music. The dim yellow light was mostly concentrated in the center of the hall, so the corners were dark. In the dark corners, there were groups of soldiers eating and drinking. But when the others came in, most of them looked up and gave them unfriendly looks.
Zero naturally wouldn't care about these gazes. Under Feng's lead, he arrived at the bar. Behind the bar, an old white-haired bartender was wiping empty glasses on the bar counter. Maple threw his ID card in front of the bartender and said, "Hi, Old Henry. Give us a bottle of whiskey and four slices of fried beef. "
The bartender Henry silently picked up Maple's identity plate, and after passing through a scanner on the bar, he said to him, "Young man, your merit points do not seem to be enough to pay for this."
Feng's smile immediately froze on his face. He jumped up and said, "Old Henry, you didn't see clearly, right?"
The bartender said expressionlessly, "Although I'm old, my eyes aren't blurry."
Feng wanted to say something, but Su had already explained her identity card and moved it to the bartender. "Use mine," she said.
Old Henry silently took Sue's identity card, glanced at it, and then returned it to Sue. He shook the bell on the bar. Soon a young bartender came over, and old Henry quickly wrote down the menu and sent it to the kitchen. Then he took a bottle of whisky and four glasses from the wine cabinet, placed them on a plate, and moved them to a group of four.
"I wish you a pleasant meal." Old Henry said lightly.
Seeing him turn around and leave, Maple gave him a middle finger and then filled four glasses.
"Come, let's have a drink and celebrate our entry!" Feng said loudly.
With a smile, he picked up the bottle, touched the bag with the three of them, and drank it all in one gulp. Before this, although he had had all sorts of companions with him, in general, he was the one fighting alone. But at this moment, as the four wine cups clashed against each other, Zero suddenly realized that in the coming days, he would have three more comrades.
Perhaps, it was time to end Lone Wolf's life. In his heart, Zero said this to himself.
He put down the wine cup and drank the wine. Even the silent dark man Pei had a smile on his face. Wine was indeed something that could bring men closer to each other. After a few cups of wine, Ma pei started to chat with Zero. During the conversation, he had learned that Ma pei was also a mercenary before, so they had more common topics to talk about.
He went to the bathroom before the main course arrived. Her cheeks were red from the whiskey, which made her look even more beautiful. No one understood the power of zero better than she did. At that time, the scene of Zou ending Lafite's life with two shots in the wilderness was still fresh in his mind. With the addition of a sniper, the team would be able to handle more situations.
Like all the soldiers in the new barracks, Sue longed to be a full member of Doomhammer. This way, she would be able to receive more missions, receive more rewards, and even use them to purchase the accurate information she needed. And whether or not they could successfully graduate depended on the team's overall result.
With zeros, Sue was confident that their team would achieve better results.
She washed her face and left the bathroom and walked around the dark corner of the tavern. However, when he passed by a table, a hand touched Su-Gao's perky butt under the dim light.
