The Earth People are so Fierce

Of course, the survival committee has always wanted to solve the problem of the remaining three nest cities.

But Dragon City’s biggest problem is not Chao City.

Nor is it a monster.

Nor are they zombies or out-of-control transcendents.

The problem is that there is no money.

Lu Siya and Gao Ye were right.

Any city needs to "suck blood" from the vast surrounding countryside, through the continuous influx of capital, resources or population, in order to maintain its daily operation and metabolism.

And only developed industries can provide enough jobs for nearly 10 million young people waiting to be fed.

But the prerequisite for industrial development is a tenfold consumer market. Without an external market, industrial development would be impossible.

From the first day of the journey, Dragon City has become a deformed freak. Only under the stimulus of survival threats, people had to hug together to keep warm, and barely maintained it to today.

Relying on the discovery of new energy such as psychic energy, and the substantial development of biochemistry, runes and life sciences, Longcheng has temporarily maintained tens of millions of people trapped in an isolated city by means of a "technological revolution", but it is still an orderly "miracle" ".

But the other side of the miracle is that Longcheng's financial situation is always on the verge of collapse.

Being able to tear down seven nest cities and build a large number of ordinary communities in just two decades is already the limit.

Being in a state of war all the year round, the survival committee has to compile a large number of pension budgets for disabled and dead soldiers every year.

There are also many basic living allowances for disabled citizens, including the food problem of more and more unemployed youths, which must be resolved by the authorities.

The construction funds invested in the construction of the Northern New District is astronomical.

Just ensuring that tens of millions of citizens can eat the synthetic canned luncheon meat made from earthworm meat is enough to make everyone on the survival committee have a headache.

Remove the last three nest cities and find enough vacant land in the already crowded Dragon City to build a new public rental housing community for the residents of Chao City to move in and find new jobs for them. In the process, to ensure the stability of the social order and not cause major disturbances-the difficulty of this work is too high, even higher than a northern offensive.

“Instead of carrying out the reconstruction of the nest city, it is better to expand outwards and build a new district, wait for more funds to be raised from the development of the new district, and then go back to solve the problem of the nest city.” This is the basic idea of ​​the Survival Committee in the new stage of urban development.

Of course, it's not just a matter of money.

Chaocheng has existed for nearly half a century, and has its own governance logic and intertwined interest groups.

There are also a large number of gray industries that do not exist in the outside world, but they are popular in the complex and cramped spiderweb lanes of the nest city. Countless people rely on various mankind's oldest industries to sell their bodies in various ways to survive.

The most dangerous wanted criminals are very likely to hide in the depths of the nest city.

For these people, even if the Survival Committee built a luxurious residence outside, they would not agree with respectfully inviting them to move out.

It is impossible for the survival committee to use force to attack the nest city.

After all, 90% of people living in Chaocheng are ordinary citizens.

The crowded and chaotic environment of Chaocheng is prone to fire or building collapse.

Criminals with extraordinary powers are the best at creating large-scale destruction.

If in order to capture an out-of-control transcendent, he would fight in the nest city, it is impossible to guarantee that the other party would not jump over the wall in a hurry and drag hundreds of innocent residents to bury him.

It is now during the Monster War, where humans and monsters are fighting for space for survival. The survival committee cannot create such a large-scale chaos in Dragon City.

Besides, human society is never black and white.

There are always gray areas.

At present, most of Longcheng's gray industries are concentrated in three nest cities, which are relatively easy to monitor and manage.

If the three nest cities are destroyed and these gray industries are allowed to spread all over the city, wouldn't it be equivalent to the spread of cancer cells, making things worse?

Meng Chao, eighteen or nine years old, may find it difficult to understand why Longcheng, a "heroic city, an outpost for human civilization in another world," would tolerate the existence of a place like the nest city.

But Meng Chao, who returned from the end of the day, quickly understood this problem after integrating all the information and thinking about it.

The "Golden Tooth Nest City" that Lu Siya referred to is the largest of the remaining three nest cities.

It is said that there are hundreds of thousands or even millions of people-no one has ever counted them.

There are various mankind’s oldest industries.

Naturally, it also includes monster fighting.

Compared with the legal monster arenas outside, there are two most attractive places for monster fighting in Nest City.

The first is the battle of illegal monsters in the nest city, which often carries out various kinds of frenzied transformations on the monsters, turning them into extremely tyrannical, bloodthirsty, terrifying, and even injecting various prohibited genetic medicines, making the monsters completely "mad". Bring unparalleled excitement.

The second is gambling.

The legal monster arena also allows gambling.

However, there are restrictions on the upper limit of the amount, and the information of the punter must be recorded. Even if they win, they will have to pay a high "gaming tax" to support the development of biochemical modulation technology and include it in the pension fund for disabled and dead soldiers.

At the same time, illegal borrowing is strictly prohibited, and citizens are never allowed to borrow money to place bets.

It can only be said that it is a "little gambling", just for fun.

The illegal monster arena, of course, does not have this problem.

As long as you cough, you can borrow one hundred and two hundred thousand, or even a higher amount of funds to place bets every minute. Of course, the interest is terribly high. Many people are stuck in it and can't look back anymore. And life, can only merge with Chaocheng.

"Jin Yongqiang is a frequent visitor to the underground monster arena in Golden Tooth Nest. People there know that he is the middle level of Tiangong Machinery and the mechanic at the pinnacle of the terrain. There are so many opportunities to make money, so he can be assured of not lending it to him. Less funds."

Lu Siya told Meng Chao, “In fact, the first two years were okay. Jin Yongqiang was just playing and didn’t lose much money. It seemed that he won a lot last year.

"But this year, I don't know what happened, and I didn't say anything about it, and even mortgaged the house.

"Even so, he still enjoys this, and he will drill into the Golden Tooth Nest City when he has time-perhaps he also knows that with a normal salary, there is no way to redeem the house. He can only try his luck at the Monster Arena.

"But, does this have anything to do with the'Sega Sky City Biochemical Pet Beast Murder Incident'?"

Meng Chao sorted out the clues and told Lu Siya of her discovery.

"The underground monster arena in the Golden Tooth Nest City, of course, has the technology to modulate monsters, and it is more frantic than the legal laboratories of the'Spirit Creatures' or the'Nongda University'. Regardless of the slightest rules, they have the technology and the motivation to make them.' Variant rabies virus'."

Meng Chaodao said, "Perhaps, this kind of virus exists in the first place, it is designed to make monsters go into a frenzied state, increase attack power and excitement, to attract audiences.

"Jin Yongqiang is a frequent visitor to the underground monster arena. He naturally knows the way here. Maybe there are channels to get the'mutant rabies virus.'

"In other words, as long as we find the underground arena where Jin Yongqiang often goes, and then find his friends there, it may be a pharmacist, beastmaster or veterinarian of a certain monster team, we will find the answer!"

"Yes!"

Lu Siya said excitedly, "Meng Chao, I found that you are really my lucky star. It seems that I can turn the impossible into possibility every time. In just one day, I basically found the answer from a mess of clues. We will now Go to Golden Tooth Nest City!"

"and many more--"

Meng Chao hesitated, "Just the two of us? As far as I know, there are still many gangs in Golden Tooth's Nest. Many forces have existed since decades ago, when the zombie crisis, and the history is longer than the survival committee. Just the two of us go in, what if the situation gets out of control?"

Lu Siya was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Of course it's not just us. I will now gather all the clues to the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau, and let the superiors send outstanding soldiers to support us in the future."

"such……"

Meng Chao thoughtfully, "Wait, I seem to see Shen Yupeng."

"what?"

Lu Siya raised her voice, "Where are you, how can you see him?"

"I'm at the door of'Lingchuang Creatures'."

Meng Chao explained, “The secret police monitored the laboratory of'Lingchuang Biology', and Gao Ye got the test report and immediately reported to the secret police. Shen Yupeng estimated that he came to find out the situation.”

"Damn, this guy has a better sense of smell than a dog, so he can't smell it!"

Lu Siya said anxiously, "You go quickly, don't let Shen Yupeng see you, race against time to meet me at the entrance of Golden Tooth Nest City, we must hurry up before Shen Yupeng these secret police, find the person who gave Jin Yongqiang mutant rabies virus !"

Meng Chao blinked.

Standing at the gate of "Lingchuang Creatures", watching Shen Yupeng's black car getting closer.

"Okay, here we come." He said to Lusiya on the phone.

...

From the outside, Jinyachao City is just a densely constructed area, most of the entrances and exits are blocked by construction waste and vehicles burned into empty shells, and a dusty concrete forest.

The so-called entrance is just a seemingly unremarkable vegetable market selling all kinds of monster flesh and blood materials.

Only the strong fragrance lingering in the air for a long time shows the difference between this place and ordinary residential areas.

This is the taste of "Hundred Poison Banquet".

Many monsters' internal organs contain highly poisonous, but they have a very delicious taste. It is even better than the puffer fish in the earth age.

In the past, it often happened that the citizens could not resist the temptation to cook the poisonous viscera of monsters, resulting in food poisoning.

Over time, the Survival Committee banned the sale of highly toxic offal of monsters for food.

And in the impossible place between black and white like Golden Tooth Nest City, the so-called ban is just a dead letter.

The "Hundred Poison Banquet" composed of hundreds of poisonous viscera of monsters has long become a feature that everyone knows.

There are really many citizens who make a special trip to Golden Tooth Nest City to satisfy their appetites.
