global pollution

It was okay when I was at the airport. When I walked outside, I could see almost all the messy streets and simple buildings. There is a contradiction.

The poor are very poor, and the rich are very rich. This is Xia Ren's first impression of this city named Keers.

Although it is November, Dongzhou has already entered winter, and it has even snowed a few times. In Nanzhou, the temperature is still over 30 degrees, and there is no wind, but it is hot. The roads are full of dust. Whenever there is Vehicles passing by can roll up a large amount of dust.

Xia Ren has never seen the trees planted on both sides of the road, so I can't name them, but they are not as luxuriant as the trees in Dongzhou. The trunks of the trees here are generally bare, and a few branches and leaves grow on the top of the crown. You don’t have to think about standing in the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade. It’s no different from standing in the sun. The air humidity here is very low, coupled with such a high temperature, unless people who have lived in the local area for a long time have already adapted to this environment Otherwise, if you don’t replenish water for three hours, your body will be dehydrated.

This city of Cols is next to Sand City, and it is less than a hundred kilometers away from the Moka Desert. Starting from here, it should be able to avoid a large number of enemies.

Yi Zhiyu first led Xia Ren and the others to the Youqian shopping mall to buy some clothes with local characteristics to put on, then bought a few bottles of Youqian brand mineral water at the Youqian supermarket chain on the side of the road, and then went to the rich passenger transport The company bought a few bus tickets.

It didn't take long before the display screen on the wall of the waiting hall showed that they could get on the bus.

So the three of them boarded a rich-brand bus with rich media advertisements printed on it.

"8+128G, 144HZ professional-grade screen...We don't just make mobile phones, we understand you better...Rich people, use the money, the more you use it, the richer you are...Rich phones."

Looking at the money brand mobile phone on the car TV, Xia Ren finally couldn't help it, and asked Yi Zhiyu next to him: "Don't all the products in Nanzhou have a proper name? Or am I influenced by something contained, what products do I look at?" Both names are rich?"

"Used to it."

Yi Zhiyu was not surprised by this, and said, "The things we saw along the way were all produced by companies under the rich group, you read it right."

"what?"

Hearing this explanation, Xia Ren felt even more confused.

"What about other companies?"

"Rich conglomerates have a big business. They may not make a profit in the early stage, or even lose money to seize the market with discounted products. Anyway, there are other projects that make money, but if those small companies do this, they will go bankrupt in minutes, so they will be squeezed out soon. Slowly. Slowly, only the wealthy group will be left alone, forming a monopoly position."

"But after the monopoly, it's harvesting. The capital that has grown to this stage can seriously affect or even directly affect the lives of the people. Does the parliament of the alliance government care?"

"If it's bad, of course we have to deal with it, but the rich group is not bad."

Yi Zhiyu glanced out the window and said, "Did you see robbery or other crimes during your journey?"

Xia Ren shook his head, no.

"Three months ago, this place was controlled by another consortium. At that time, Coles City was completely a paradise for crime. Half of the citizens had no jobs, and it was difficult for them to survive. People who couldn't survive became evil. They are on the street all day long, robberies happen every day, prostitutes and clients sell money in broad daylight, an average of one person disappears every five hours, there are casinos and bars everywhere, that is the real monopoly , the parliament has no way to solve the employment problem for the people, so it can only compromise with the consortium, which makes the situation worse."

"Originally, Coles City was poor and remote, and it was not easy to manage. However, most of the members of the consortium that occupied the city a few months ago suddenly resigned, and then the rich group moved in with a mature industrial chain and management experience. In a short period of time, fresh vitality has been injected into the city. Although the people are still poor, at least there is a way to survive and hope for the future."

Xia Ren opened his mouth.

Although I have long heard that some areas in Nanzhou are relatively chaotic, especially Shengtian Metropolis is the most famous, but Keers City does not belong to Shengtian Metropolis, but Sophie Lidu. I did not expect it to be so dark.

He couldn't help wondering: "The headquarters of the foundation is so close to here, is there no way to intervene? Although the rich group looks good now, no one can guarantee when they will show their fangs and start sucking blood."

"Unless it is necessary, the foundation does not interfere in politics. And the capital without the right to speak is good capital, and the rich group is the kind that has no right to speak."

Yi Zhiyu went on to say: "It's a bit complicated. I heard that the wealthy group is also an industry of the foundation. I got a rough understanding of it when I was promoted to S-level, but I don't know the details."

Foundation property?

Xia Ren thought of a figure that was firmly tied to the word money.

"Did you know that Zhu is rich? He seems to have something to do with the foundation."

Yi Zhiyu recalled it for a while, and denied: "I have never heard of this name, but the name is the same as the rich group. Maybe there is such a person in the foundation, but our organization is too large and there are many people. I'm S-class, and I haven't seen many other members who are also S-class."

"alright."

Xia Ren didn't ask any more questions.

The bus they took was relatively new, but after being devastated by the wind, sand and scorching weather, the exterior still looked relatively old.

Most of the passengers in the car were also locals, and their skin was a bit dark due to the sun exposure. Although Xia Ren and the others were wearing local clothes, the difference in skin color was a bit obvious, which could be seen at a glance.

A woman was holding a child and sitting on the seat in front of Xia Ren. The child was clasping the back of the chair with both hands, looking at Xia Ren with a pair of clear eyes, full of curiosity.

Xia Ren thought it was funny, so he planned to tease him with a funny expression, but the child's mother saw it.

The next reaction was beyond Xia Ren's expectations. After seeing Xia Ren's appearance, the woman quickly hugged the child in her arms, lowered her head at the same time, apologized to Xia Ren continuously, and begged for his forgiveness. It is the child who is ignorant, and has a very humble attitude.

Xia Ren was also taken aback by the other party's reaction, and quickly said it was all right, but the woman obviously still had concerns, and after a while, she took the initiative to speak to the driver in front, and got off the bus directly in the Gobi Desert, which was full of heat waves .

Xia Ren knew it was because of his own reasons, and wanted to stop him, but was held back by Yi Zhiyu.

"There is a small town near here, and no one can die."

He put his hands on his chest and said, "The reason why the woman reacted so strongly is because of our skin color, as well as our behavior, we can see that we are pampered. This kind of skin color usually represents power in the vicinity."

"But even if that's the case, isn't it?"

Do ordinary people need to be so afraid of rich people?

Xia Ren asked himself in Dongzhou, even if you drive a top luxury car, you still have to wait at the red light, no one will respect you so much just because you are rich, at most they will give you a little more respect.

How come here, rich people have become like tigers, and everyone keeps them at a respectful distance.

"If you live here for two more days, you will probably understand."

Yi Zhiyu didn't explain too much to him.

Although the supreme alliance government has been unified, local government affairs are still beyond our reach. Due to historical reasons and the influence of local culture over the years, not all places can maintain civilization like most areas. The gray area has a more intuitive reflection.

The sun gradually moved westward, and the time came to five o'clock in the afternoon. The temperature finally began to cool down a bit, and the breeze was blowing on the body, which was still a little comfortable.

The bus was about to arrive at a small town closest to the Moka Desert, and the passengers on the bus were almost finished, leaving only the driver and a few passengers.

But at the intersection ahead, a temporary checkpoint suddenly appeared, and the bus had to stop in front of the checkpoint.

"an examination!"

Several people in police superintendent uniforms got into the car, leading a 30-year-old man with a cropped head to scan around, and walked straight towards Xia Ren.

"Excuse me, are you going to the headquarters?"

The inch-cropped man walked up to Yi Zhiyu, immediately put on a respectful expression, and took out his ID: "I'm an A-level investigator, and I'm in charge of meeting you."

Yi Zhiyu didn't speak, reached out to take his ID, briefly looked at it, and then handed it back: "It's true."

A smile appeared on the face of the inch-cut man: "Then it's not too late..."

"puff!"

His smile froze immediately, and he lowered his head in disbelief.
