The Earth People are so Fierce

Chapter 285: Swarm of Rats

Meng Chao and Lu Siya did not want to disturb the management staff of the garbage disposal center, so they could only sit in the shack deep in the garbage mountain and wait.

Looking at the recyclers sweating in the harsh environment, Meng Chao couldn't help but said: "Unexpectedly, there is such a place in Longcheng!"

"Do you think they work very hard?"

Lu Siya sneered, "In fact, they are already very lucky. They have at least one full-time regular job. I don't know how many people want to be recyclers but can't be!"

Meng Chao was silent.

Know that Lu Siya is telling the truth.

Longcheng's unemployment rate remains high all year round.

Although official statistics show that the unemployment rate is "only" 10%.

But that is the result of the slaying of monsters and the repair of cities destroyed by monsters, all kinds of temporary employment and work-for-work.

For these temporary and relief jobs, the remuneration can only guarantee the basic nutrition of synthetic luncheon meat, and the shack that barely shelters from the wind and rain, not the least of the quality of life.

If full-time regular work is used as the standard, the true unemployment rate of young citizens in their 20s to 30s is very likely to exceed 50%-this is a very scary figure.

No wonder there are countless people rushing to work like "recyclers".

The scene in front of him made Meng Chao vaguely understand why Lin Chuan would say before his death, "Extreme Current can't save Dragon City."

He also understood how the future Dragon City will come to an end.

Thinking of Lu Siya's luxury car, and the elegant high-end restaurant near the "Sega Sky City" just now, the price of a meal will give me another feeling.

Lu Siya keenly sensed his mood swings and snorted, "I know what you are thinking. I want to change everything I see before you, just like you. However, according to Lin Chuan's method, no problems can be solved."

Meng Chao frowned and said, "Why? The expansion and upgrading of Fuxi Road Primary School is almost complete."

"What about it, a school in a mere paltry treats symptoms but not the root cause."

Lu Siya said, "The root of all problems in Dragon City is our lack of resources, space and market. Today's Dragon City mainly relies on spar mining and monster hunting to obtain resources. It can be said to be a high-tech fishing and hunting civilization. .

"And the fishing and hunting civilization is destined to be unable to feed tens of millions of people in such a small space.

"Only industrial civilization can enable tens of millions of citizens to live a comfortable and dignified life.

"But for an industrial civilization with tens of millions of people to function well, in addition to raw materials, the market is more important, a huge consumer market of hundreds of millions or even billions of people.

"Dragon City is a lone force in a foreign land. It can't find a consumer market ten times larger than itself. How can it provide enough jobs for everyone to live a comfortable life?"

"This is the core crux. As for those of us who are extraordinary people from rich family backgrounds, whether they are greedy for enjoyment, can't drive sports cars, can't live in luxury houses, and are happy to contribute, it is secondary. After all, 95% of Dragon City The above-mentioned citizens are all ordinary people, and the real wealthy children do not exceed 1%. Even if we all fully realize and donate all our wealth, how many schools can we build and how many ordinary people’s problems can be solved?

"So, again, like Lin Chuan, I want to donate my wealth to build some elementary school, it is better to continue to invest this money in cultivation, improve combat effectiveness, expand outward, and conquer the entire world.

"Only by conquering other worlds, opening up a consumer market that is ten or a hundred times larger than Dragon City, and dumping all the industrial products of Dragon City, can Dragon City build factories ten or a hundred times larger. Provide ten times, one hundred times more jobs, so that most ordinary people can make money and live a dignified life, without having to go around here like garbage bugs.

"How to conquer the alien world? Of course we can only rely on the extraordinary! But the extraordinary are not stupid. The alien world is big, mysterious and dangerous. The so-called'iron torrent, sweeping the army' is nothing but a slogan to appease the people. The transcendent with a clear-headed mind will think that the road to conquest will be smooth sailing, of course.

"Conquering the alien world is risky, and it can even cause death. Extraordinary people can obviously stay in Dragon City comfortably and live a decent and beautiful life. Why should they run out of the mist and fight with alien creatures?' For the sake of the earth, this kind of reason is too illusory, but sports cars and luxury houses are more practical.

"So, in order to help these poor ordinary people in front of us and save each other's only home, we superhumans should make more money, enjoy them, turn endless desires into endless motivation, practice hard, expand abroad, and finally , To lay a hundred times the vast market for ordinary people, create a hundred times more high-paying jobs, and then use taxation to build more and more advanced schools-this is the once and for all solution, compared with Linchuan’s naive ideas, Much more reasonable, right?"

"..."

Meng Chao was silent for a long time, and said, "Let's change the subject, Sister Ya, your earrings are very beautiful."

The two were talking, and the brawny man with tattoos came back.

There was a dirty little girl behind him.

The little girl wore a filter mask, a cloak, and thick anti-cut and anti-corrosion sleeves wrapped around her arms. She hid behind the brawny tattooed man, looking at the two with a little wince.

"She met the person in the photo. About half a month ago, I can't remember the exact date." The brawny man with tattoos said straight.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, let's just ask casually."

Lu Siya put the two stacks of cash together, handed it to the brawny tattooed man, and smiled, "You said, I saw the person in the picture half a month ago. Where was he and what did he do?"

"He, he goes around on the trash mountain."

The little girl said timidly, "I stepped on the air, fell off the trash mountain and scratched my hand. I saw it next to him, so I went up to help him bandage. Later, Uncle Li came over and he ran away halfway through the bandage."

"Why don't I know about this?" The brawny tattooed man frowned and said solemnly.

It seems that he is "Uncle Li".

"Forget it, the garbage dump is not a military powerhouse, don't embarrass the little girl."

Lu Siya coldly glanced at the brawny tattooed man, then looked back at the little girl, and said softly, "Little sister, don't you remember, this person in the photo, what did you do on the trash mountain at that time?"

"I do not know."

The little girl bit her lip and said hesitantly, "He is facing the direction of the biochemical processing plant, as if looking at something."

The biochemical treatment plant is where the giant sandworms provided by "Lingchuang Biology" devour garbage.

Lu Siya pondered for a moment, her eyes rolled, and she touched the little girl's head, her voice becoming softer and softer: "Little sister, my sister is finished asking, the two pieces of information you said are very important to my sister, thank you so much."

The little girl was relieved and was about to leave.

Lu Siya seemed to remember suddenly, and said casually: "By the way, did you meet the person in the photo before or after the giant sandworm got out of control?"

Without thinking about it, the little girl blurted out: "Before."

The brawny tattooed "Uncle Li" coughed loudly, helpless to Lu Siya, but stared at the little girl viciously.

The little girl knew she had made a mistake, her face pale.

Lu Siya smiled slightly, took out a wad of banknotes from her arms, patted the brawny tattooed man on the chest, leaned forward, and whispered, "If I know, you dare to move half of this little sister's hair, believe it or not, I can strip it. Your skin?"

The brawny tattooed man's face trembled and he almost screamed without being scared.

"So, half a month ago, the giant sand worms here really got out of control, right?"

Lu Siya took off her sunglasses, piercing the tattooed brawny with a cone-like gaze, and said coldly, "What happened at that time."

"Yes, it's nothing."

The brawny man with tattoos stammered and could only tell the truth, "There are usually hundreds of giant sand worms working at the same time here, and they are disturbed by magnetism, and occasionally a few giant sand worms get out of control, which is normal-anyway. The so-called loss of control is nothing more than refusing to eat, or stumbling all over the floor. After being summoned by the master beast control, it will soon return to normal."

"Are the beast masters of'spiritual creatures'?" Lu Siya asked.

"Correct."

The brawny man with tattoos nodded and said, "On the'Lingchuang' side, there are several technicians stationed here for a long time. They are all masters at modulating and manipulating giant sand worms. But somehow, a few giant sand worms got here that day. Deep in the ground, I can't find it anymore."

Lu Siya asked: "How many?"

The brawny man with tattoos thought for a while: "It seems to be five, yes, five."

Lu Siya said: "What happened later, how to deal with it?"

"I didn’t deal with it. Anyway, the giant sandworm has a gentle personality and rarely attacks humans. After searching for a few days on the'Lingchuang', I haven’t found it. Just forget it and help us make up for the missing giant sandworm. The matter is over." The brawny man with tattoos honestly said.

At this time, there was a loud noise outside the shack.

Several "recyclers" ran in angrily and shouted, "Brother Li, it's no good, the rats came out again to make trouble!"

"what?"

The brawny tattooed man smashed his fist, "Damn, these **** rats!"

"What's the matter, Mouse?" Lu Siya narrowed her eyes.

"Yes, it's a mouse."

The brawny man with tattoos told Meng Chao and Lu Siya that it was normal for snakes, insects, rats and ants to be entrenched in the dump.

But under normal circumstances, they are sneaky activities at night, in broad daylight, they rarely go to death under the iron tongs and steel drills of the "recyclers".

Recently, for some reason, the rats in the garbage dump are extremely active. Even in broad daylight, they dare to swagger and run rampant, and they are much more aggressive, often scratching and biting recyclers.

"How long is it recently?" Lu Siya asked.

"Only these few days, ten days or so!" the brawny tattooed man replied.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at each other.

"Go, go and see." The two said in unison.
