Wearing a single coat, he stood in the square in the wind and rain with his eyes closed and intoxicated. He looked quite nervous. Many passengers noticed him. Some shook their heads and were speechless, while others were silent. Most of them smiled knowingly, thinking that this must be another case.

He is a poor student who came from some remote star area to study. In the past, many such young people would make these behaviors that are difficult for ordinary people to understand when they first came to the capital star circle.

However, the smiles in their eyes were somewhat sympathetic. From his somewhat unsteady and heavy steps, it could be seen that his health was slightly lacking. Although the capital star circle was open to everyone, the reproductive rights were always stuck.

If you don't have the ability to raise your health to the capital standard, you will either choose to live alone in the capital star for a lifetime, or leave this place where every inch of land is precious with regret.

The rain gradually became heavier, and the coldness of the raindrops made Shi Chen wake up from this beautiful scenery. He squinted and looked at the entrance of the aviation airport in the distance. He was a little surprised why there were so many people lining up in a long queue, waiting for the spaceship, and there were quite a few.

Police officers were on hand to supervise and maintain order.

Shi Chen noticed that most of these people were middle-aged men and women in their thirties or forties, rarely with children, and some women were even pregnant. Their faces were numb, and there was no agility or hope for the future in their eyes.

.

With sharp ears, he concentrated his mind and heard a lot of discussions about the current strange situation.

"This is the first batch. Hey, it's true. If you do something to improve the standards of reproductive rights, it will make people angry."

"Shh! Be careful." A middle-aged man frowned and looked at his companions, saying somewhat against his will: "There is nothing we can do about it. So many outsiders pour into Baiyang every day. If there are no restrictions, the capital will be starved early.

It’s overcrowded.”

"This is all an excuse! If the price of genetic components were not so high, would so many people have been deported?"

Shi Chen, who was not far behind him, narrowed his eyes even more when he heard this sentence, and he agreed with this point of view.

Before he met Liya, during the days when he worked part-time at Bond Mining, although his salary was far below the normal federal level, he had spent nearly ten years frugally and was able to earn even a bottle of

The most basic first-order genetic components are not affordable, so you can imagine how expensive they are.

The technology for manufacturing genetic components is controlled by the upper echelons of the federation, creating a monopoly in a sense, just like a pyramid. Through this method, the blood and sweat of federal citizens are continuously squeezed downwards.

Shi Chen glanced at the crowd of people at the airport with some confusion, and then walked out of the airport. Because he had experienced similar experiences, he sympathized with these people, but he was unable to change them.

I got into a taxi at the entrance outside the airport and said to the driver: "No. 186, Bender Road, Academy City, Lensa District."

"Okay sir, please fasten your seat belt." The middle-aged driver reminded him kindly.

The taxi sped on the wet ground, passed the elevated road connecting China Unicom Baizuo Airport, and headed towards the capital city.

The interior of the carriage was as warm as spring. It would have been easy for passengers who had just made a long journey to feel drowsy. However, Shi Chen's eyes were unusually bright. He calmly stared at the scenery outside the window, appreciating the completely different scenery of this city.

The style of Titan City.

Unlike other people who came to Baiyang Star alone, he was not completely alone. Xiao Chu and Qian Lin were waiting for him in the Yinxiang Villa area not far from Yuechi University on Bander Road.

For Shi Chen, the place where they are is home, so at this moment, Shi Chen feels like returning home.

But God seemed to understand his thoughts, so he arranged some obstacles for him. Not long after the taxi was about to enter the Lensa District, it suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Shi Chen asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, there's a traffic jam ahead. I might not be able to drive for a while." The driver thought for a moment and said, "I guess it was those poor people who were incited to march again. This has happened several times this year.

That’s it.”

As if to confirm the driver's words, at this moment, countless faint shouts suddenly sounded from the opposite side of the intersection. These voices were not neat, but because they overlapped, the scale of the procession should not be small.

It didn't take long for the owner of these voices to appear in Shi Chen's field of vision. A large number of people suddenly poured out from the left side of the intersection and quickly occupied most of the sidewalks and street intersections. The momentum was so amazing that people who heard the news

The traffic policemen who arrived looked a little ugly.

Most of these people are teenagers, and there are even some children of several years old, but there are also some adults mixed in. Their clothes are extremely simple, and their faces are full of the suffering of the motherland. At a glance, you can tell that they are at the bottom of society.

.

They used sheets of various colors they picked up from nowhere and wrapped them around bamboo poles or tree branches to make banners. They looked a bit tattered, especially when they saw the children in front of them who were walking in unison.

But as this group of people poured out and the number of people reached a certain number, this kind of fun gradually turned into endless pressure and cold thinking.

The parade was very long and there was no end in sight for a while. Shi Chen thought about it and paid the fare and got out of the car in advance, preparing to walk to Bande Avenue, which was not too far away.

Just when Shi Chen was about to reach the street entrance, he suddenly saw the parade that had been marching stop, and there seemed to be a strong protest coming from the front.

Shi Chen looked along with the flow of people, and sure enough, the road leading to the West District House of Lords had been blocked by a large number of policemen wearing transparent explosion-proof shields.

"How many times do I have to say that the House of Lords is also a place for you bastards to go and make trouble?" A middle-aged police officer shouted sternly at the leading young man.

Normally, the police officer's roar would have stopped a child from crying, but this group of marchers had obviously experienced this kind of battle countless times.

The leading young man opened his big eyes and looked at the police officer without flinching. He raised his fist and argued loudly: "We are also federal citizens, and we also have the right to petition the House of Lords!"

"We are also federal citizens, and we also have the right to petition the House of Lords!!!" The sea of ​​people behind him shouted, and the entire neighborhood was swept by the deafening sound of petitions.

At the same time, they held up slogans woven from sheets.

“We demand the repeal of the Reproductive Rights Management Ordinance!”

"We demand a reduction in the price of genetic components! Oppose monopoly!"

"We demand the rights of federal citizens!"

"I want to go to school..." Among those flags, a little boy took off his white T-shirt and held it silently.

However, facing the overwhelming shouts, the police officer, although his face was pale, roared with determination: "How many times have I told you! Even if it is a petition, you have to follow the process and fill it out for me when you go home.

Great petition form! Then send it to the mailbox of the House of Lords!"

The leading young man raised his hand and shouted loudly: "But we have applied several times, but we have been rejected without even being submitted to the House of Lords for discussion!"

As he spoke, he raised his fists again and protested: "We demand a fair and transparent judicial process!"

“We demand a fair and transparent judicial process!!”

Shi Chen tightened the buttons on his collar, looked at the people who were in a stalemate, shook his head with some pity, and walked towards Band Avenue.

Although this kind of parade will arouse widespread public opinion, it will only cause some waves. The government will at most make some corresponding compromises, but in the face of broad interests, those nobles will never waver.

This kind of protest march was doomed to fail from the beginning.

Shi Chen's footsteps suddenly stopped. He noticed that there were many guys in plain clothes but with obviously different styles wandering around the street entrance near the parade. Could it be that the police were taking some action?

Just when this idea just emerged, a childish voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Do you want to be a coward all your life, or do you want to be a hero! Even if it's only for a few minutes! Come with me! Brothers and sisters! They can't stop us!"

"Go! Go to the House of Lords!"

Shi Chen turned around in shock and saw the angry demonstrators pushing away the police officer, crossing the red cordon on the ground, and throwing countless eggs, gravel, and even firecrackers at the riot police behind the cordon.

Watching this scene, Shi Chen felt a little sad. He took a deep breath and continued his journey.

This kind of public resentment is like a flood. Once the embankment breaks, it will be difficult for an individual to stop it. If he rushes forward with a hot head at this time, he will either be regarded as a member of the demonstration, or be trampled on by the angry people.

.

In order to avoid being affected by the chaotic scene, Shi Chen abandoned the main road and took a remote alley.

However, just as Shi Chen turned around an alley, he was suddenly hit by someone. The force was not small. Even Shi Chen's physique, which had been optimized twice, was painfully hit. He hit the wall beside him.

Almost fell to the ground.

The figure that bumped into him seemed to be just slightly stagnant, then continued to rush out after brushing against him.

Shi Chen turned his head in shock, and saw the person turning around with the same panic. The gray peaked cap on her head seemed to fall off her head due to the force of the impact, and her pink hair fell down because she lost the restraints of the cap.

.

Then he opened his mouth wide, because he saw a delicate cheek that only appeared on the screen and in dreams, a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak, filled with moisture due to panic, and his whole body seemed to be exuding a kind of

It's called Chu Chu's breath.

"Ye Mengqi?"

Shi Chen never expected that his idol, who was once 30,000 light years away, would appear in front of him so suddenly under such circumstances.

Then he picked up the hat as quickly as possible and was thinking about what kind of smile he should use to face her later. Should he be more responsible and just ask for an autograph later, or should he be shameless and ask for a photo.

But when he raised his head, he saw his idol glaring at him fiercely, as if threatening, and quickly fled the scene, while pulling off the scarf around his neck and gathering the conspicuous pink hair.

Shi Chen stared at her leaving back blankly, and then glanced blankly at the hat in his hand. His calmness and rationality quickly cooled down the hot feeling of meeting his idol, and in connection with the previous parade, he was shocked and stunned.

may appear in his mind.

"Is she also one of the instigators behind this march?"

As if to confirm his idea, footsteps sounded again. Two big men in plain clothes rushed past him panting. One of them suddenly stopped in front of Shi Chen and took out his police officer ID card from his coat pocket.

He hurriedly asked: "Sir, I am a police officer. Have you ever seen such a tall suspicious person?" He gestured as he spoke.

Shi Chen looked thoughtful, and then suddenly said: "Oh! I saw that person bumped into me!"

"Where did he go?"

"Over there!" Shi Chen pointed to the alley to the west.

"Thank you for your cooperation, sir!" The two plainclothes police officers ran away in the direction pointed by Shi Chen without stopping.
