Three hundred and sixtieth chapters full of complaints
The middle-aged man covered his head and huddled on the camp bed, looking ashamed and embarrassed.
Meng Chao sighed secretly.
Xiao Fanghua seemed to have seen similar scenes too many times, and still said patiently: "Dad Li Jue, Li Jue is still young and doesn't understand how important cultivation is. He is a good boy who knows how to care for his parents. Because of this, we must
Think carefully about his future.
"Let me take my time to figure this out. I can't give you a guarantee now, but I have many members of 'Blue Home' who are willing to help a good youngster like Li Jue."
"Teacher Xiao, I..."
Li Jue's father raised his head, his lips trembling, his hands rubbing together, not knowing what to say.
Meng Chao thought about his harsh tone just now, and said beside him: "Yes, Mr. Li, now is the most difficult time, but I believe that with the help of the Survival Committee and the Transcendent Tower, everything will be fine.
"
It would have been better not to say this, but when I said it, it seemed to poke a sore spot in Li Jue's father's eyes. His eyes became red again, and he said angrily: "Forget about the Survival Committee and the Transcendent Tower, how can they help?"
"this……"
Meng Chao was slightly startled.
He rarely met ordinary citizens, and when he talked about the Survival Committee and the Extraordinary Tower, he had this tone.
At least, I rarely encounter it in this life.
"If the Survival Committee and Chaofan Tower really want to help, it's very simple. They just need to arrange for our children to go to schools outside."
Li Jue's father said, "Even if the space and resources of ordinary schools are tight, and every class is full, those aristocratic schools for rich people will always have room to accommodate our children. Why can't we temporarily accommodate Li Jue and the others?
How many months can it take?"
Meng Chao frowned slightly.
There is an indescribable feeling in my heart.
"It's not that we covet the resources of aristocratic schools, but in the final analysis, the Survival Committee and the Extraordinary Tower are also responsible for us ending up in this situation, right?"
Li Jue's father said angrily, "Living in a mansion like 'Dragon City No. 1' are all extraordinary beings above the heavenly realm. They obviously have unparalleled strength. Which monster dares to rush into 'Dragon City' without opening its eyes?"
I went to City No. 1 and was beaten to a pulp by them in minutes.
"A place like Dragon City No. 1, as well as the aristocratic school attached to Dragon City No. 1, do not need to erect any defensive measures at all. Machine gun towers, anti-aircraft guns, electromagnetic guns and high-voltage power grids are all unnecessary. As long as the strong ones are released
The murderous intent is enough to scare the shit out of the monster.
"However, the Survival Committee and the Extraordinary Tower have built airtight defenses around these high-end residential areas, with three floors inside and three floors outside.
"In the old communities where ordinary office workers live, the last time the defenses were fully maintained and upgraded was several years ago. Many defense facilities were in disrepair, the structure was aging, and ammunition was insufficient. They were distributed to every family.
But with just a few hundred bullets, how can it stop the monster's crazy attack?
"If you think about it carefully, it makes no sense. People living in old communities are ordinary people. Just because we can't defeat monsters, shouldn't we build tight fortifications around our homes? Why, we have to build all the fortifications."
How about going to the house of a high-level transcendent?
"As a result, when the fog came, the monsters were intimidated by the aura of the strong and did not dare to rush into places like Longcheng No. 1. Instead, they picked up the weak ones and rushed towards old communities like ours, Longcheng No. 1 and so on.
Not even a single shot was fired at the fortifications on our side. The fortifications on our side had long been washed to pieces. Even the school next to the community was captured by monsters - the Survival Committee and the Extraordinary Tower.
There are so many experts and so many smart minds. If they really wanted to help ordinary people, they should have taken precautions long ago. In the final analysis, extraordinary people and ordinary people are not of the same mind, and they don't care about the life and death of ordinary people at all!"
Li Jue's father vented his anger and unwillingness to his heart's content.
As soon as the words came out, he realized that Xiao Fanghua standing in front of him seemed to be an extraordinary person. He said sarcastically: "I'm sorry, Teacher Xiao, I'm not talking about you. Of course you are an out-and-out kindhearted person. You know, I
It’s about those extraordinary beings who are above.”
"It doesn't matter."
Xiao Fanghua smiled and said, "Dad Li Jue, my husband is engaged in setting up community defense systems. As far as I know, in high-end communities like Longcheng No. 1, their defense systems are all erected, maintained and maintained at their own expense."
The upgrade was done without using taxpayers’ hard-earned money.”
"I, I know."
Li Jue's father suddenly became discouraged and said with a gloomy expression, "After all, the lives of rich people are more valuable than those of poor people. I don't blame the Survival Committee and Chaofan Tower, but blame me for being useless. Our Li Jue
Bad luck.
"Money, money, money is needed for everything these days. If you want to defend yourself against monsters, you need money. If you want to practice, you need money. Yes, even if you are a poor scholar and a rich martial artist, they say that cultivation can change your destiny, but how can a poor person deserve to practice?"
He shrank into the cot, put his toxin-corroded legs on the bed, and stared blankly at the stains on the bandages, fainting in circles.
"Mr. Li——"
Meng Chao pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Did you come up with what you just said?"
Li Jue's father looked at him in surprise.
"You are the one who said that extraordinary people and ordinary people are not of the same mind." Meng Chao said.
Li Jue's father was stunned for a moment and said, "Everyone says so."
Meng Chao said: "Everyone?"
"Just, everyone in the temporary settlement."
Li Jue's father said embarrassedly, "I, I also know that many extraordinary people are good people, like you and the volunteers who come to help us all day long. We are only grateful to you and have no objections. Really, whoever
If I dare to say anything bad about you, that is simply heartless.
"However, our good home collapsed right in front of us. We couldn't do anything. We could only watch the ruins burning. We couldn't even rush in to grab a few photos and take out them. This blow was really too big, and everyone was holding back a sigh of relief.
There is really nowhere to vent the bitterness in my belly!
"In addition, those of us who are injured and disabled have no ability to work. We gather together all day long and don't know what to do. We just complain. Don't take it to heart."
"It's okay, I won't take it personally."
Meng Chao smiled, "But do you know who was the first to complain like this?"
"Then who knows?"
Li Jue's father said, "The complaints are spread from one to ten, and from one to another, no one knows who said it in the first place. Anyway, everyone is saying it now."
Meng Chao wanted to ask more questions, but Xiao Fanghua gently tugged on the corner of his clothes from behind.
Meng Chao thought that he might not get much information from Li Jue's father. After saying goodbye to him, he and Xiao Fanghua walked out of the tent.
On the way back, Meng Chao was thoughtful.
Xiao Fanghua said: "Many residents here suffer from post-traumatic syndrome. Some people often scream in nightmares in the middle of the night, triggering a chain reaction throughout the settlement, like the ancient 'camp roar'. Everyone's mental pressure is too great.
It’s normal to complain, we’ve long been used to it, classmate Meng Chao, don’t take it personally?”
"It's okay. This time the fog came and dozens of communities were invaded by monsters. It is indeed the responsibility of the Survival Committee and the Extraordinary Tower. It is not unfair to let ordinary citizens say a few words."
Meng Chao glanced at Xiao Fanghua and said, "Sister Xiao, have you heard these complaints before?"
Xiao Fanghua nodded.
"Any more?"
Meng Chao said, "Do you have any other complaints?"
"How not?"
Xiao Fanghua said, "I don't know what happened recently. Except for the temporary settlement in the east of the city, in all the temporary settlements in the east, west, south, north, and middle of the city, there are many people who have lost their homes and are full of complaints.
"Some people, like Li Jue's father, complain about why the Survival Committee and the Transcendent Tower have built impregnable fortifications outside the high-end communities where high-level transcendents live, but have long-disrepaired fortifications outside the old communities where ordinary people live.
The thin fortifications were ignored.
"Some people also complain that the prices of various cultivation resources have skyrocketed recently. Even the genetic medicines we purchase from manufacturers at cost prices have increased by 20%. It is said that they will increase next month. Rich people may be able to afford it, but
For lower-class families like Li Jue's father who have lost their jobs or are engaged in manual labor, this has undoubtedly cut off the hope of the next generation to practice cultivation.
"It stands to reason that since Dragon City has achieved a great victory on the northern route, it should be able to collect more resources. Why do prices keep rising?"
Meng Chao was silent for a moment and said: "Dragon City has been actively expanding recently, using troops in all directions, east, west, north and south. The resources consumed are several times that of the past. The supply in the city is somewhat tight, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"right?"
Xiao Fanghua smiled and said, "It's said in the news, but many people in the temporary settlements don't believe it at all. They think it's not the expansion, but the hoarding of people to make a lot of 'disastrous wealth'.
"Not to mention this, there are still people who complain that the monsters are provoked by extraordinary beings."
"this--"
Meng Chao was stunned, "What kind of weird talk is this?"
"Didn't you notice, classmate Meng Chao, the monsters have become smarter? Although the scale of the fog coming this time is large, it is not unheard of in previous years, but the damage caused is far from this great."
Xiao Fanghua said, "Nowadays, there is a popular view among the people that among monsters, there are also many very human beings who have the opportunity to coexist peacefully with humans, at least not infringe upon them.
"But because the high-level transcendental beings were ambitious and wanted to cultivate to a realm beyond human beings, they killed all these highly intelligent monsters, which led to the revenge of the highly intelligent monsters.
"High-level extraordinary beings are naturally not afraid of the revenge of highly intelligent monsters. As I said just now, they all live in places like Dragon City No. 1 and are protected by an impregnable defense system.
