Of course, the Survival Committee has always wanted to solve the problem of the remaining three hive cities.

But the biggest problem in Dragon City is not actually the Nest City.

Not a monster either.

Nor are they zombies or out-of-control supernatural beings.

The problem is there is no money.

What Lu Siya and Gao Ye said is right.

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

Only a developed industry can provide enough jobs for the nearly 10 million young people who are hungry for food.

However, the prerequisite for industrial development is a consumer market that is ten times wider. Without the external market, industrial development is impossible.

Dragon City has become a deformed monster from the first day of time travel. It is only under the stimulation of the threat of survival that people have to huddle together for warmth, and they can barely survive until today.

Relying on the discovery of new energy sources such as psychic energy, as well as the substantial development of biochemistry, runes and life sciences, Dragon City used a "technological revolution" to temporarily maintain the "miracle" of tens of millions of people trapped in an isolated city, but still in order.

”.

But the other side of the miracle is that Dragon City's financial situation has been on the verge of collapse all year round.

Being able to demolish seven nest cities and build a large number of ordinary communities in just twenty years is already the limit.

Being in a constant state of war, the Survival Committee has to prepare a large number of pension budgets for disabled and deceased soldiers every year.

There are also many basic living allowances for disabled citizens, including the food problem of the increasing number of unemployed young people, which must be solved by the authorities.

The construction funds invested in the construction of the northern new area are astronomical.

Just ensuring that tens of millions of citizens can eat canned synthetic luncheon meat made from earthworm meat is enough to give the bosses of the Survival Committee a splitting headache.

Demolish the last three nest cities, find enough open space in the already overcrowded Dragon City, build a new public rental housing complex, let the residents of the nest city move in, and find new jobs for them, and throughout the

In the process, ensuring the stability of social order and preventing major chaos - this task is too difficult, even higher than fighting a northern front offensive.

"Instead of transforming the city, it is better to expand outward and build new districts, and then go back and solve the problems of the city after raising more funds from the development of the new districts." This is the basic idea of ​​the Survival Committee in the new stage of urban development.

Of course, it's not just about money.

Chao City 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 prevalent in the maze-like complex and cramped cobweb alleys of the Nest City. Countless people rely on various oldest industries in mankind and sell their bodies in various ways to survive.

There are even extremely dangerous wanted criminals who are most likely hiding deep in the nest city.

For these people, even if the survival committee builds luxurious housing outside and respectfully invites them to move out, they will not agree.

It is impossible for the Survival Committee to use force to storm the nest city.

After all, 90% of the people living in Nest City are ordinary citizens.

The crowded and chaotic environment of Nest City can easily cause fires or building collapses.

It just so happens that criminals with extraordinary power are best at causing large-scale destruction.

If a large-scale war is launched in the nest city to capture an out-of-control supernatural being, there is no guarantee that the other party will not jump over the wall and bury hundreds of innocent residents with him.

Now is the period of the Monster War. The main conflict between humans and monsters is the struggle for living space. It is impossible for the Survival Committee to create such a large-scale chaos within Dragon City.

Besides, human society is never black and white.

There are always gray areas.

Now most of the gray industries in Dragon City are concentrated in the three nest cities, which are relatively easy to monitor and manage.

If we destroy the three hive cities and let these gray industries spread throughout the city, wouldn't it be equivalent to the spread of cancer cells and make things worse?

It may be difficult for Meng Chao, who is eighteen or nineteen years old, to understand why Dragon City, a "city of heroes and an outpost of human civilization in another world," tolerates the existence of a place like Chao City that harbors evil and evil.

But Meng Chao, who had returned from the apocalypse, quickly understood this problem after comprehensive information from all parties and his thoughts changed.

The "Golden Teeth Nest City" that Lysiya refers 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 industries that are the oldest of mankind.

Naturally, it also includes monster battles.

Compared to the legal monster arenas outside, the monster arenas in the Nest City have two most attractive features.

The first is the illegal monster battles in the nest city. Monsters are often subjected to various crazy transformations, making them extremely violent, bloodthirsty, and terrifying. They are even injected with various prohibited genetic agents to completely "go mad".

Brings unparalleled excitement.

The second is gambling.

Legal monster arenas also allow gambling.

However, there is a limit on the upper limit of the amount, and the information of the bettor must be recorded. Even if you win, you must pay a high "gambling tax" to support the development of biochemical modulation technology and be included in the pension fund for disabled and deceased soldiers.

At the same time, illegal lending is strictly prohibited, and citizens are absolutely not allowed to borrow money for betting.

All I can say is that it's just a "little gamble for fun", just for fun.

Illegal monster arenas certainly do not have this problem.

As long as you cough, you can borrow 100,000, 200,000, or even higher amounts of funds to bet in minutes. Of course, the interest rates are also terrifyingly high. Many people are trapped in it and can never look back, and even lose their normal jobs outside.

And life can only be integrated with the nest city.

"Jin Yongqiang is a frequent visitor to the underground monster arena in Golden Teeth Nest City. The people there know that he is a middle-level manager of 'Tiangong Machinery' and a mechanic at the pinnacle of the world. They have many opportunities to make money, so they naturally lend him money without worry.

Less funds.”

Lu Siya told Meng Chao, "Actually, the first two years were fine. Jin Yongqiang was just playing and didn't lose much money. Last year, he seemed to have won a lot.

“But for some reason this year, I lost everything and even mortgaged my house.

"Even so, he still enjoys it and goes to the Golden Teeth Nest City when he has time - maybe he also knows that with a normal salary, there is no way to redeem the house, so he can only try his luck in the Monster Arena.

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

Meng Chao sorted out the clues and told Lu Siya what he had discovered.

"The underground monster arena in Golden Teeth Nest City certainly has the technology to prepare monsters, and it is even more insane than the legal laboratories of 'Spiritual Creation' or 'Agricultural University'. They ignore the slightest rules. They have the technology and the motivation to prepare monsters."

Mutant rabies virus'."

Meng Chao said, "Perhaps this virus originally existed, specifically to drive monsters into a state of madness, increase their attack power and excitement, and attract audiences.

"Jin Yongqiang is a frequent visitor to the underground monster arena, so he naturally knows the rules here, and maybe there are channels to obtain the 'mutant rabies virus'.

"In other words, as long as we find the underground arena where Jin Yongqiang often goes and find his friends there, who are probably pharmacists, beast masters or veterinarians of a certain monster team, we will find the answer!"

"That's right!"

Lu Siya said excitedly, "Meng Chao, I find that you are really my lucky star. It seems that you can turn the impossible into possible every time. In just one day, I basically found the answer from a mess of clues. We will do it now."

Go to Goldfang Nest City!"

"etc--"

Meng Chao hesitated and said, "Just the two of us? As far as I know, there are still many gangs in the Golden Teeth Nest City. Many of them have existed since the zombie crisis decades ago, and their history is older than the Survival Committee.

Just the two of us go in, what if the situation gets out of hand?"

Lu Siya was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Of course it's not just the two of us. I will now collect all the clues to the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau and ask the superiors to send elite soldiers to support us."

"so……"

Meng Chao thought thoughtfully, "Wait a minute, I think I saw Shen Yupeng."

"What?"

Lysiya raised her voice, "Where are you and how did you see him?"

"I'm at the door of 'Spirit Creation'."

Meng Chao explained, "The secret police monitored the laboratory of 'Lingchuang Biology'. Gao Ye received the test report and immediately reported it to the secret police. Shen Yupeng probably came to him to understand the situation."

"Damn it, this guy's sense of smell is more sensitive than a dog's, you must not let him smell it!"

Lu Siya said anxiously, "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 find the person who gave Jin Yongqiang the mutated rabies virus before Shen Yupeng and other secret police."

!”

Meng Chao blinked his eyes.

Standing at the gate of "Lingchuang Creatures", I watched the black car driven by Shen Yupeng getting closer and closer.

"Okay, here you go." He said to Lu Siya on the phone.

…

From the outside, Golden Teeth Nest City is just a dusty concrete forest with extremely dense buildings. Most of the entrances and exits are blocked by construction waste and burned-out vehicles.

The so-called entrance is just an ordinary-looking vegetable market that sells various monster flesh and blood materials.

Only the strong aroma that lingers in the air for a long time shows the difference between this place and ordinary residential areas.

This is the taste of the "Feast of Hundreds of Poisons".

While the internal organs of many monsters contain highly toxic substances, they also taste extremely delicious, even more so than the puffer fish from the Earth's era.

In the past, it often happened that citizens could not bear the temptation and cooked the poisonous internal organs of monsters, resulting in food poisoning.

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

But in a lawless place like Golden Teeth Nest City, between black and white, the so-called ban is nothing but a piece of paper.

The "Hundred Poison Feast" consisting of hundreds of kinds of monsters' poisonous entrails has long become a well-known feature.
