It’s not that Dragon City doesn’t have resources.

But most of the resources are hidden in the Broken Star Lake area, Tombstone Forest, Raging Waves Mountains, and behind the newly lifted fog.

There are high mountains and dense forests, full of swamps and traps. Although all the large monsters have been killed, there are endless snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Rao Shi Longcheng has mastered black technology that far exceeds that of the earth. It will still take several years and a large amount of development and construction resources to develop all these resources.

The past few years have been a critical and painful period for Dragon City.

The Survival Committee and the Extraordinary Tower had to face a cruel choice - whether to invest limited resources in the reconstruction and defense of Dragon City to protect ordinary people's daily life and cultivation rights; or to invest in the development of the periphery of Dragon City and actively search

, rescue and combat may be lost in satellite towns deep in the fog.

The first choice is for the present of Dragon City.

The second choice is for the future of Dragon City.

In his previous life, Meng Chao remembered that the top management chose "tomorrow".

No matter how scarce the resources in the city were, no matter how bad the living environment of ordinary people was, or how intensified various conflicts were, the Survival Committee gritted its teeth and accumulated a sum of resources, invested in the training and encouragement of extraordinary people, and finally won the monster war.

The price is that social conflicts are extremely acute, and ordinary people living in poverty have become suspicious and even hostile to the superior extraordinary beings. This suspicion and hostility are used by alien beasts to cause trouble within Dragon City, making the so-called "victory" particularly tragic, and also

This laid the hidden dangers that would lead to the destruction of Dragon City in the future.

Although the current Dragon City won the northern offensive, in order to develop the surrounding areas and eliminate the enemies dormant deep in the fog, it had to allocate a large amount of resources to the outside of the city, but ignored the living conditions of tens of millions of citizens.

——This problem has still not been solved.

Many people have criticized the Survival Committee's actions.

For example, on the issue of housing.

Because when the fog came, many important figures were assassinated. Those experts, scholars or company managers who had narrowly escaped were frightened and wanted to immediately move to a high-end community with a stricter defense system and more powerful neighbors.

.

The supply of high-end residential areas exceeds the demand, and both rents and house prices have skyrocketed.

Not to mention top-notch luxury homes like "Dragon City One".

Even in the "Sega Sky City" where a murder had just occurred, housing prices rose by 50% in just one month, shocking ordinary citizens.

To be fair, whether it is experts, scholars or corporate executives, as long as they make money based on their own wisdom and ability, they are free to live wherever they want.

The Survival Committee and Chaofan Tower also have the obligation to ensure the safety of these important people, so they have strengthened a layer of defense system around each high-end community.

However, ordinary citizens who have had their homes destroyed by monsters and have to live in tents or simple work sheds, enduring a crowded, hot and humid living environment with ears on the partitions, are also constantly worried about the spread of the plague and zombies jumping up and hurting people at any time.

In my eyes, these important people who are rushing to move to "Sega Sky City" or even "Dragon City One" always feel a bit "different from each other and not my kind".

Affected by the war, the prices of crystal stones, genetic medicines, and fortified nutritional supplements also increased three times a day, and soon rose to a level that ordinary families could not afford even if they broke their teeth.

Children are the greatest hope for ordinary people.

Originally, even if I was just an ordinary person with mediocre qualifications, working a job that worked day and night but with a meager salary, as long as I could save a little money and protect my children's basic training expenses after eating bran, there was a little hope.

It would be great if I could get into college, or even become a Disabled Star Extraordinary.

Then, this family still has hope, the parents are more motivated to work, and the children have goals, at least they will not go astray.

But after realizing that the monster war will not end so easily, it will even enter a new, more bizarre and unpredictable stage.

All the extraordinary people in the city are practicing hard.

To this end, they frantically purchased resources and exchanged cash and extraordinary coins for crystal stones, genetic potions, enhanced nutrients, various monster raw materials, and natural and earthly treasures.

Many extraordinary beings simply cannot digest and absorb so many resources at one time.

But it doesn't matter. The shelf life of genetic medicines and enhanced nutrients is very long, and crystal stones are equivalent to the hard currency of gold and silver. Even if you can't practice by yourself, you can still make a lot of money by hoarding them.

Many extraordinary people over-purchase cultivation resources, driving up the price of cultivation resources to the point where there is no market for them.

As a result, the children of ordinary families suffer.

This is a world dominated by extraordinary beings.

If the child doesn't even have the slightest hope of becoming a transcendent person.

It is difficult for ordinary citizens to find the motivation for themselves and their children to continue to survive in this mysterious and unpredictable world where zombies are rampant, monsters are infested.

It's not like he's seeking death and survival.

But the eyes of ordinary citizens looking at extraordinary beings are always becoming more and more strange.

The residual star extraordinary and the mid-to-low-level extraordinary are not bad. We usually have more contact with them. Many of the residual star extraordinary also encounter problems such as being unable to afford cultivation resources and living in luxury apartments. They suffer from the same problems as ordinary citizens.

Besides, when monsters are really encountered, middle- and low-level transcendent beings fight under the eyes of ordinary people. Their efforts and sacrifices are still seen by kind-hearted citizens.

But for the high-level transcendent beings who are so high above others and are so elusive, it is difficult for ordinary residents to understand their research projects and their mysterious and complicated cultivation content. They can only see them and their families living a glamorous and luxurious life.

, and the nine super-enterprises they control are also taking advantage of the large-scale development outside Dragon City, and their scale is getting larger and larger.

If Lin Chuan is resurrected at this time and spreads his "sword, halberd, demon pig and diamond nine-headed dragon" argument among ordinary citizens, there will definitely be a huge market.

Even Meng Chao encountered this problem.

When the fog came last time, Tianfuyuan, an old community, was also severely impacted, and the defense system was riddled with holes by the monster's fangs.

Although the monster only destroyed a few buildings on the periphery, it did not advance to the unit where Meng Chao's home was located.

But seeing that the neighbors living in the outermost buildings of the community had all lost their homes and had to temporarily set up tents and simple work sheds in the community, Meng Chao secretly couldn't bear it and was even more frightened.

Monsters evolve to become smarter and smarter.

Next time, you may not be so lucky.

If it were just him, he would be willing to stay and fight side by side with the neighbors in Tin Fook Court.

But there are parents at home, and a sister who is gradually awakening to a mysterious power and will turn into the Night Witch at any time.

Meng Chao had to consider moving out of Tianfuyuan and finding a mid-to-high-end community with a relatively complete defense system.

But my sister said a year ago that Tianfuyuan is their home. If all the strong people move out of Tianfuyuan and only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left here, wouldn't it be easier for monsters to attack them?

In order to defend her homeland, Bai Jiacao would rather die than retreat.

And moving out of Tianfuyuan at this time always feels like abandoning the neighbors of decades. Not to mention whether it will lead to the darkening of his sister again, Meng Chao himself doesn't feel it.

Meng Chao struggled with this issue for a month.

In just this month, housing prices in mid- to high-end residential areas in Longcheng increased by 50%.

Meng Chao was stunned, scratching his head and thinking, why didn't he encounter this problem in his previous life?

Oh, in his previous life, he was still in the hospital worrying about his parents' medical expenses. Let alone a 50% increase, even if the prices in mid- to high-end residential areas dropped by 50%, it would have nothing to do with him.

Meng Chao's mind was spinning.

With the wisdom of a reborn person, analysis of big data, and calm thinking, I came to a conclusion.

The current surge in prices is just the aftermath of the fog, caused by the panic buying of houses by some weak-willed wealthy people.

As long as the situation stabilizes, house prices will definitely fall with retaliation. When that happens, it won't be too late to buy it yourself.

The second month after this decision was made, house prices rose by another 50%, a feat of doubling in two months.

"..."

Meng Chao decided to shoulder the responsibility of being an extraordinary person. The blood of the strong must be shed for the weak. He must stay and coexist with Tianfuyuan!

The situation is chaotic, people's thoughts are changing, and various trends of thought have emerged one after another. Many powerful people and organizations are thinking about how to save the nation and survive. They deduce the future of Dragon City and come to completely opposite conclusions one after another.

On the campus of Agricultural University, Meng Chao also keenly discovered that the mentality of the students was gradually becoming impetuous.

Fewer and fewer people are concentrating in class, but there are more and more posts on campus forums and open debates.

"Martial arts training cannot save Dragon City", "Beast control cannot save Dragon City", "Rune machinery cannot save Dragon City", such arguments are gradually becoming popular, as if as a contemporary young man, he does not show a concern for the country and the people.

, it seems insensitive.

Meng Chao's classmate Xie Feng is an enthusiastic fan of this type of debate.

Meng Chao also followed him and attended several discussions with classmates.

The topics discussed ranged from "Whether the tax rate for extraordinary people should be increased, and excessive progress should be implemented. Every time the extraordinary person reaches a higher level, the tax rate will be increased by one level, so that more taxes can be used for the welfare of ordinary citizens, and the class of Dragon City should be reduced as much as possible.

gap".

"Whether there is unfair competition between extraordinary people who have advantages in intelligence and physical strength and ordinary people, and whether the ratio of extraordinary people to ordinary people should be determined in most grassroots jobs, and a certain number of people must be recruited."

Ordinary people".

There is also "the existence of the nine super enterprises, whether it is a benefit or a disadvantage to the future development of Dragon City, and whether the nine super enterprises should be restricted or even split up, so that more power can be concentrated in the hands of the survival committee."

Even "Where are the limits of human beings? Can the extraordinary in the divine realm still be considered human? How to ensure that the powerful in the divine realm can always treat ordinary people as the same kind and work for the welfare of ordinary people?"

Naturally, the arguments among the students are not clever, and it is difficult to even be well-founded. Many times they are very childish and are just emotional venting.

There are also many students who are from the nine major super companies, and they have said seriously that for the future of Dragon City, the development of super companies should be restricted, and all glory and power should belong to the Survival Committee and the Transcendent Tower!

Their speeches received warm applause.
Chapter completed!
