Meng Chao sighed and said: "The deceased is gone. What about you, leaving Boss Feng and his companions alone, what are your plans in the future?"

"have no idea."

Aji shook his head, pretending to be stubborn, and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, live through these few days first, and then think about the next few days. There is no tomorrow until today. Isn't that the case for people in leprosy villages?

"At least, I have skills, so I won't starve to death anywhere."

"This 'craft' of yours is not a real craft, let alone a long-term solution."

Meng Chao laughed dumbly, changed the subject, and said, "However, considering your age, it is not easy to be able to practice your hands to this extent. If you can receive more formal and professional education, maybe you can become a very good person."

Excellent harvester."

"Receive...formal education?" Aji seemed to have heard a big joke.

"Longcheng has a compulsory education system, and now it has begun to promote a nutritious three-meal plan. Every Dragoncheng boy, no matter rich or poor, no matter what he looks like, has the right and the obligation to receive education and practice cultivation.

Contribute to our common civilization."

Meng Chao said sternly, "Whether it is the residents of Chao City or the villagers of Leprosy Village, everyone is a member of Dragon City and is a human being originating from the earth. Naturally, there should be no exceptions."

Aji was about to speak but stopped.

The expression is very complex.

Looking at Meng Chao, it was like looking at an idiot.

The young man coughed a few times and covered his eyes on the pretense of scratching the scabies on his head.

But he couldn't hide the disapproval on his face.

Meng Chao sighed silently in his heart.

He is not a nerd working behind closed doors in an ivory tower.

With rich life experience in his previous life, and personal experience of staying at the bottom of society for a long time, he knows that today's Dragon City is far from a sun-drenched paradise on earth.

Although the martyrs have sacrificed their lives and struggled for more than half a century, due to many reasons such as lack of resources and the presence of powerful enemies, there are still a lot of bleak corners that the sun cannot reach.

Many truths that are natural and logical seem weak and powerless in the face of cold reality.

Theoretically, Dragon City has a compulsory education system, and everyone should have equal rights to practice.

However, the financial system of the Survival Committee is crumbling, and the annual budget is stretched thin. It is routine practice to divert teachers' salaries to fund war expenses. The quality of education in public schools outside is far inferior to that of private schools, let alone the opening of new schools in Chaocheng and leprosy villages.

School.

Where does the teaching land come from, how to build the teaching building, how to purchase the training facilities, how to spend the teacher's salary, how to pay for the children's training... There are all kinds of things, the cost is astronomical, who will pay for this money?

Of course, in theory, it should be paid by the survival committee.

But the Survival Committee also has no money, and many key projects can only demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall. Just like some time ago, for the budget of the "New Armored Airship Comprehensive Upgrade Project" and the "Old Community Defense System Renovation Project", the colonial MPs

The congressmen from the Homeland faction were beaten to a bloody head at the meeting, so where is the money?

You must know that education these days is not like the age of the earth, which can be carried out with just a pen, a book, and a stack of scratch paper. Instead, it requires swallowing countless genetic medicines and high-energy nutrients to lay a solid foundation and strengthen the muscles and bones.

, who awakens extraordinary power!

If you don't have enough resources, forcing children to practice is not just to encourage others, it is simply to drain the lake. It will only destroy all the children who come from poor backgrounds.

Especially the children in leprosy villages.

As a descendant of an infected person, there are some genetic mutations. After introducing psychic energy into the body, it is more likely to lose control and secondary mutations.

If you want to train them into talents, you need to invest more manpower, material resources, time and effort. Otherwise, all you will get in exchange for your good intentions is that the children's secondary mutations and mortality will continue to rise.

Because of such objective reasons, to this day, the quantity and quality of schools in Chao City are still far behind those of the outside world.

In leprosy villages, there is not even a single public school. The children do not drop out of school, but have no concept of going to school at all.

No wonder Aji regards "formal education" as a fantasy.

Meng Chao, however, was determined to completely solve the problems in Chao City and Leprosy Village.

In the previous life, Dragon City experienced a disastrous defeat in the Northern Front Offensive, and the problem of lack of resources was not completely solved until the tragic victory in the Monster War.

After that, most of the resources were invested in new colonization wars, and they were involved in the world war between the two major camps in the outside world.

Therefore, Meng Chao remembered that even in the years when the "Alien Disaster" was at its strongest, the cultivation problems of the children at the bottom of Dragon City could not be solved well.

Only the descendants of the strong can become the new strong, and the descendants of the weak will always be weak.

Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, the son of mouse is only worthy of drilling holes.

This is a very helpless reality.

Perhaps, it was also one of the reasons for the defeat of Dragon City.

But this life is different.

In this world, Dragon City has won the northern offensive, and with the help of the resources obtained from the northern front development, it has begun to launch strategic counterattacks on all sides.

As long as it wins the current battle, Dragon City will have an overwhelming strategic advantage.

At that time, we will definitely be able to free up our hands to completely solve the problems of Chao City and Leprosy Village, and let the warm sunshine shine on every corner of Dragon City without discrimination.

Meng Chao vowed to do his best to promote this matter.

But before that, he could still solve Aji's problem alone.

"Aji, how old are you?" Thinking of this, Meng Chao asked.

"Eleven or twelve years old."

Aji said, "I don't know exactly when I was born by my parents."

"Eleven or twelve years old is not too late."

Meng Chao said, "Listen, I know some friends outside, and maybe there is a place for you to receive formal education, develop your potential, and help you become an excellent harvester.

"As long as your performance is good enough, I will introduce you to a regular and respected job in the future. You don't have to worry about it, let alone go hungry. It won't be a problem.

"You don't have to worry about your appearance being discriminated against by outsiders. Believe me, it won't take long for the people of Longcheng to change their mindset."

The people of Longcheng's discrimination against the descendants of infected people only stem from the fear of zombie viruses, as well as the instinctive resistance to aliens due to lack of resources and limited living space.

But in the near future, the people of Longcheng will break out of Novice Village, and their living space will suddenly expand a hundred times, and they will see countless strange and strange alien races. Even half-orcs and vampires can chat and laugh together. The descendants of infected people are all our own after all.

Not a problem at all.

A look of longing flashed across Aji's face.

But he quickly suppressed his small hope.

It seems that the boys in the leprosy village have long since learned not to have any hope for anything, so that they will not experience the slightest disappointment and despair.

Meng Chao looked at the young man's expression, read his thoughts, thought for a moment, took out a high-purity crystal stone from his tactical bag, and threw it away.

Aji subconsciously caught it and was slightly startled when he found that Meng Chao did not use the art of controlling objects through the air this time and sucked the crystal back.

The hope that had just been suppressed in his eyes once again bloomed with little rays of light.

"I keep my word. This crystal is a deposit for you."

Meng Chao said, "However, you must help me solve the troubles in Leprosy Village and Chao City, otherwise, the entire Dragon City will be in chaos, and my promise and your hope will naturally come to nothing.

"So, helping me is helping yourself, helping you get rid of the fate of slowly rotting underground in the leper village and start a new life, do you understand?"

Aji thought for a while, held the high-purity crystal in his hand, and nodded solemnly.

"Okay, now tell me, do you have a communicator?"

Meng Chao said, "Mobile phones, computers, walkie-talkies, anything."

"have."

Those words just now seemed to have touched Aji's heart. The boy from the leprosy village lifted his cloak, took off several communicators from his wide belt and handed them over.

There are two rubber-wrapped rugged mobile phones, a wrist-mounted tactical communication watch, a tablet computer, and a point-to-point walkie-talkie specially designed for mining.

These communicators can all be turned on.

But apart from the rustle of electricity, nothing could be heard.

Above the display of the mobile phone, there is always an icon indicating that the network cannot be found, and even half of the messages cannot be sent.

The same goes for tablets.

"Damn it, it seems that the demon god 'Whirlpool' has completely blocked the Internet in this area!" Meng Chao cursed secretly.

He was still a little bit lucky.

I was wondering if it was because of the explosion of the super-giant crystal bomb that ripples of psychic energy had been rippling in the air, causing a large area of ​​magnetic field interference, so I temporarily cut off communications.

But among Aji's communicators, there is a point-to-point walkie-talkie specially designed for mining. During the design and production, the problem of crystal veins interfering with the magnetic field was taken into consideration, and the anti-interference ability is extremely strong.

If even this walkie-talkie is completely disrupted, it cannot be done by a crystal bomb.

Instead, it was a military-grade, high-power, super-powerful jamming device that specifically blocked the external communications of the Leper Village, and perhaps the entire Golden Teeth Nest City.

As a result, Meng Chao's plan to find the command center directly and report the current situation came to nothing.

Come to think of it, the demon god "Whirlpool" has a well-planned plan and will naturally not make such a stupid mistake.

Perhaps, in addition to blocking communications, the other party had already ambushed the most elite assassins at various commanding heights in the Leprosy Village.

If a seriously injured Heaven Realm expert wants to activate the power of magnetic levitation and escape from the leprosy village from the sky, he will be shot down easily like a slingshot shooting a sparrow.

Meng Chao didn't even regain the power of magnetic levitation.

Even if he recovers, he doesn't want to run away with his tail between his legs.

"Forget it, throw away all the communicators you picked up to prevent others from locating our coordinates."

Meng Chao pondered for a moment and then asked, "Aji, tell me, where can I find enough cultivation resources in the leprosy village?"

The most urgent task is to heal the wounds first.
Chapter completed!
