Chapter Eighty-Three: Dangerous Thoughts
In modern society, with the development of medical technology, the average life expectancy of human beings in some developed areas hovers around 70, and even Black Filipino has reached the threshold of 60 years old.
And those who survive the transformation surgery of prawns have a lifespan of only about 40 years old, so it can be said that their lives have been artificially cut in half.
Everything has a price!
Shen Sen didn't say anything about the words of the red vest, he turned around and looked at the same kind of people who were like three guinea pigs on the test bench, but his heart was as cold as a piece of ice for ten thousand years.
Everything has a price, but it doesn't mean that everything has value, just like the three people in front of him, to some extent, they are alive but actually dead.
In their limited lives, they killed and robbed, did all kinds of evil, and brought more losses to human society than gains, and in Shen Sen's eyes, their lives and even all of them were worthless.
And there are many, many such people in the ninth district, in this chaotic continent.
To transform them, to give them the power to serve them at the cost of shortening their lives, is not punishment, but His greatest mercy and gift!
"Deal with the three of them, I think it's time for us to leave!"
"Yes, sir!"
Under the white light, Wilson and Gunther, who leaned over slightly, stood next to the tall prawns, next to them were three bloody corpses, Shen Sen's body was in the light and shadow, but it seemed to be in the deep space, which seemed vast and ethereal.
A few minutes later, several people walked out of the hospital gates, returned to the blazing sun, and disappeared into the corner of the bustling city in a pickup truck, along with the three men, and the bald doctor.
However, the latter was lucky, because Shen Sen just remembered that there were still a few doctors in the wasteland world, so he sent him over for transformation.
Escaping from this materialistic chaos and heading to a new world of cleanliness, he is sure to be grateful and honored to dedicate his life to the wasteland.
After the two pickup trucks came out of the hospital, they did not immediately return to the slums, but walked slowly around the bustling metropolis of Johannes.
Everywhere they went, they could see a tall concrete building in the distance, about 200 meters long, standing on top of a mountain ridge.
It was the city's landmark, called St. Teco's Tower, a concrete TV tower on the outskirts of Bricton, Johannes, a silent reminder of the city's former prosperity.
Shen Sen sat in the car, leisurely recalling the information he had read.
Johannes is the largest city in the old South Philippines, located in the upper reaches of the Waal River in the northeast, with an area of about 269 square kilometers and a population of more than 2 million.
It is the largest city and economic center of the old country, the largest city in the southern Philippines, and the world's largest gold production center, with more than half of the population being black.
This kingdom has many similarities with the country with the same name and surname on the planet in his previous life, geographical location, development history, social system, and the contradictions and rifts hidden under them.
But I don't know if this world is different, or if the sudden arrival of aliens has disrupted everything, and there is no "macho man from the sky" here to resolve the conflict and save his compatriots from the dire situation.
On the contrary, because of the emergence of the ninth arrondissement and the drastic changes in the world situation, it has become more and more fragmented.
Over the past decade, it has replaced the former Moldy Country as the largest influx of people on the planet.
Whether it is the official forces of other countries, or the capital giants, or even ordinary people who dream of making a fortune, they all see the appearance in the ninth district of this country as a new gold mountain, or even a new continent.
On this planet controlled by wealth, everyone knows what a new mountain of gold represents, let alone a new "continent".
Under the circumstance that the original development space has been restricted, the old continent of South Philippines is like a rejuvenation, and the power, wealth, prestige and status are all sharply shuffled here.
However, for the owner of District 9, he did not get much benefit from it, and he was under the most pressure and chaos, eating leftovers from others.
Therefore, in such a situation, I don't know which expert came up with the idea, and after just one month, Finang United was born in a hurry.
In Shen Sen's view, this move is comparable to the Sarajevo incident in the previous life, although no one died, but it almost became the fuse for the destruction of this world.
Soon after the establishment of the African Southern Union, the whole world began to spin at an unimaginable speed like a clockwork machine, and many powerful countries began to expand their spheres of influence to the periphery.
Large-scale conscription, full opening of weapons production lines, military spending increasing month by month, the entire human society is like tofu sitting on a barrel of explosives, if it were not for the fact that the United States of Philnancy later instigated, there was the emergence of MUN.
With a slight accident, Shen Sen estimated that he might have come to a wasteland world after a nuclear war.
But how long can this apparent peace last?
"Phew!"
The pickup shook a bit, and the car stopped in front of a three-story building.
The white building is like a curved arc, the boxy windows are arranged in an orderly manner, neatly and neatly, even the gate is completely symmetrical, one on one side, and the toothed decoration on the classical porch and eaves has a kind of ancient Roman style.
"Sir, then I'm leaving!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Sen nodded, sat in the car and did not move, watching Wilson open the car door, get out of the car and walk into the building.
In the South Philippines, the faces of local whites are much better than those of other skin colors, especially for a white man with a lot of assets.
In this building, there are Johannes' registered offices, which are responsible for the application for company registration.
Shen Sen doesn't have the time to run a company, and he doesn't have the need, but he really needs a company now, not a high-tech company, but a company that can purchase materials in large quantities.
For ordinary daily necessities purchases, he can buy them casually in the supermarket.
On the one hand, the inhabitants of this country have a habit of buying on a large scale, and on the other hand, running a supermarket does not care about you, and the more customers buy, the better.
But when the STC standard construction factory was actually found, he found that ordinary daily life could not make this "big guy" work.
To produce the Pioneer Mecha, he needed a lot of materials that he couldn't find in the slums, and the dozens of mining metals that were in demand were the most in demand and he needed to set up a company to be able to buy them.
While there will be a record, the first issue at the moment is to solve the Pioneer mech production.
In a country where there is a complete organization, engaging in some activities that they consider illegal, as a "stowaway", Shen Sen felt helpless.
"What is the official head of Johannes? I don't know if there are many bodyguards? ”
Shen Sen groped his chin, and a very dangerous-looking thought popped into his mind.
