Xia Ren had only arrived in the barren suburbs of Nanzhou for less than two hours, and he had been in Dongzhou before, and he had never seen what other states were like.

Now he sees it.

Honestly, it couldn't feel any worse.

As soon as he stepped off the plane, he was greeted by a boiling heat wave, and the air was filled with the smell of asphalt and sand, and it was unusually dry.

When I was at the airport, I was fine, and when I walked outside, I saw almost all the messy streets, simple buildings, and of course, there were luxurious places, but those palatial mansions were like shiny diamond rings in a pile of garbage, and they looked full of contradictions.

The poor are very poor, and the rich are very rich, this is Xia Ren's first impression of this city called Koles.

Although it is November, Dongzhou has already entered winter, and even a few snowfalls, it is this place in Nanzhou, the temperature is still in more than 30 degrees, and there is no wind, it is hot, the road is full of dust, whenever a vehicle drives by, it can roll up a large piece of dust.

Xia Ren has never seen the trees planted on both sides of the road, so he can't call them names, but they are not as lush as the tree species in Dongzhou, the trunks of the trees here are generally bare, and a few branches and leaves grow at the top of the canopy, standing in the shade of the trees to enjoy the shade is no longer necessary, and standing under the sun is no different, the air humidity here is very low, plus such a high temperature, unless people who have lived in the local area for a long time have adapted to this environment, otherwise three hours do not replenish water, I am afraid that the body will be short of water.

This city of Kolls and Sand City is close to each other, and it is less than a hundred kilometers from the Great Moka Desert, and from this side, it should be possible to evade a large number of enemies.

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

It didn't take long for a display on the wall of the waiting hall to show that they were ready to get on the bus.

So the three of them got on a rich bus printed with advertisements for rich media.

"8+128G, 144HZ Professional-grade Screen...... We don't just make mobile phones, we understand you better...... Rich people, use money, the more you use, the richer you get...... Rich mobile 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 the goods in Nanzhou have a serious name?" Or am I affected by some containment object, and what trade names are rich? ”

"Just get used to it."

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

"Huh?"

Hearing this explanation, Xia Ren felt even more puzzled.

"What about the other companies?"

"The rich group has a big business, and it can not make a profit in the early stage, or even lose money to seize the market with preferential goods, anyway, there are other projects to make money, but if those small companies do this, they will go bankrupt in minutes, so they will be quickly squeezed out, and slowly only the rich group will be left alone, forming a monopoly position."

"But after the monopoly, it's the harvest, and the capital that has grown to this point can seriously affect and even directly affect the lives of the people, and the parliament of the coalition government doesn't care?"

"If it's bad, of course you have to take care of it, but the rich group is not bad."

Yi Zhiyu glanced out the window and said, "Did you just see any robbery or other criminal acts along the way?" ”

Xia Ren shook his head, no.

"Three months ago, it was controlled by another consortium, and at that time Coles City was a paradise for crime, half of the citizens were unemployed, and it was difficult to even survive, and those who could not survive became evildoers, and they were in the streets all day long, and robberies were happening every day, prostitutes and prostitutes were selling silver in broad daylight, and one person disappeared every five hours on average, and there were gambling halls and bars everywhere, and that was a real monopoly, and the parliament could not solve the employment problem for the people, so it had to compromise with the consortium, This led to a further aggravation of the situation. ”

"Originally, Keles City was poor and remote and difficult to manage, but a few months ago, the majority of the metropolitan councillors who originally occupied the city relied on the top level of the consortium suddenly stepped down, and then the rich group moved in with a high profile with a mature industrial chain and management experience, which injected fresh vitality into the city in a short period of time, although now it looks like the people are still very poor, but at least there is a way to live, and they can see the hope of the future."

Xia Ren opened his mouth.

Although I have long heard that some areas of Nanzhou are more chaotic, especially the Shengtian Dadu is the most famous, but Keles City does not belong to the Shengtian Dadu, but Sophie Lidu, I didn't expect it to be so dark.

He couldn't help but wonder, "The Foundation headquarters is so close to here, can't I interfere?" Although the rich group looks good now, no one can guarantee when he will show his fangs and start sucking blood. ”

"The Foundation does not interfere in politics unless necessary. Moreover, capital that has no right to speak is good capital, and rich groups are the kind of capital that has no right to speak. ”

Yi Zhiyu continued: "This is a bit complicated, I heard that the rich group is also the property of the foundation, I had a rough understanding of it when I was promoted to the S rank, but the specifics are not too clear. ”

The Foundation's industry?

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

"Do you know that Zhu is rich? He seems to have something to do with the Foundation, too. ”

Yi Zhiyu recalled it and denied: "I haven't heard of this name, but the name is the same as that of the rich group." Maybe there is such a person in the Foundation, but our organization is too large and has a lot of personnel, even if we are S-class, I have never seen a few other S-class members. ”

"Okay."

Xia Ren didn't ask any more.

The bus they were on was relatively new, but it still looked old after the sand and scorching heat.

Most of the passengers on the bus are also local, and their skin looks a little dark because of the abundant sun, although Xia Ren and the others are wearing local clothes, the difference in skin color is a little obvious, and they can still be seen at a glance.

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

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

The next reaction was beyond Xia Ren's expectations, after seeing Xia Ren's appearance, the woman hurriedly hugged the child in her arms, lowered her head at the same time, apologized to Xia Ren constantly, and begged for his forgiveness.

Xia Ren was also taken aback by the other party's reaction, and hurriedly said that it was okay, but the woman was obviously still worried, and after a while, she took the initiative to go to the driver in front of her to say something, and got off the bus directly in the Gobi Desert, which was full of heat.

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

"There's a small town around here, and no one can die."

He clasped his hands to his chest and said, "The reason why that woman reacted so much is because of our complexion, as well as our behavior, which at first glance is pampered, and this skin color usually represents power in the vicinity. ”

"But even that wouldn't be it?"

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

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

How did they get here, the rich people became like tigers, and everyone stayed away.

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

Yi Zhiyu didn't explain much to him.

Although the Supreme Union government is unified, the local government affairs are still somewhat beyond the reach of the whip, because of historical reasons, as well as the influence of local culture for many years, not all places can maintain civilization like most regions, and the law of the jungle is the strongest, which is more intuitively reflected in these chaotic gray areas.

The sun is gradually moving westward, and the time is also 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature is finally starting to cool down a little, and the breeze is still a little comfortable.

The bus was about to reach the nearest town 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.

"Check!"

Several people in superintendent's uniforms walked into the car, and a man in his thirties glanced around and walked straight in the direction of Xia Ren.

"Excuse me, you're the ones going to headquarters, aren't you?"

The inch-headed man walked in front of Yi Zhiyu, immediately changed his respectful expression, and took the initiative to take out his documents: "I am an A-level investigator, and I am responsible for receiving you." ”

Yi Zhiyu didn't speak, reached out and took his documents, looked at them briefly, and then handed them back: "It's true." ”

A smile appeared on the inch-headed man's face: "Then without further ado......"

"Poof!"

His smile froze and he lowered his head in disbelief.

Yi Zhiyu's hand was inserted in his chest, crushing his heart.

"I'm sorry, I hate traitors the most."
