District 23, Xingchuan City.

Xingchuan City is very small, but it is also very beautiful.

This is the earliest colonial city of Thunder Cloud Star, but it did not develop later because of one or another. However, there are gains and losses. Because of the lag in development, many early buildings were retained.

Large and medium-sized cities are full of alloy steel. Whether it is roads or buildings, entering the city is equivalent to entering the steel jungle. However, Xingchuan City still retains many concrete buildings, and even some civil structure houses, which are full of historical sense of the times.

"It's still beautiful in my hometown."

Huang Siting walked out of the air station, stretched her arms and took a sacred breath of air, looking very intoxicated.

She hasn't returned to her hometown for a long time. Although she was forced to come back this time, when she stood here, all her worries disappeared.

"There have not changed much in the past few years." Huang Siting looked around and felt extremely happy.

There is no busy work here, no perverted perverts, only beautiful hometown and happy memories.

After thinking about it, Huang Siting was not in a hurry to go home.

I just separated from my parents for not long, and I didn't say hello when I came back this time. I must have been nagging for a long time after I got home. So Huang Siting decided to stroll around the city first and look for some childhood memories.

In this way, Huang Siting got on a tourist bus like an ordinary tourist.

Some other people also got on the same car, including a mustached man with a hat. Everyone looked normal, and Huang Siting didn't even question it, and didn't even look at others. Naturally, they wouldn't expect that this mustached man was the maniac who had made up.

Li Mu and Huang Siting are on the same flight, and they are even very close. Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary panic, Li Mu did not come over to say hello. Along the way, Li Mu was sleeping soundly with a blanket covering his face.

Guo Dongming hasn't had a good sleep these days, and Li Mu hasn't been able to get well in the shelter. Anyway, Huang Siting can't escape on the flight, so Li Mu can relax for a rare moment.

Now Young Master Li Er has been fully prepared and is ready to go to the end in this strange city.

The flight landed at noon. Huang Siting was ready to take a walk after lunch, but after leaving, he lost interest after only half an hour.

Because of the beast tide that happened not long ago, the city is now under martial law. Although the residents' movements are not restricted, there are obviously fewer people on the streets. Moreover, even the people who appear are coming and going in a hurry, making the atmosphere a little nervous.

When I was walking near the city government, I even found many people holding banners shouting slogans to protest.

Huang Siting was concerned about changes in her hometown, and Li Mu was even more curious, so both of them asked.

Things are not complicated, so I will find out quickly. After all, it is all a land issue.

There are many historical reasons why Xingchuan City has not developed, but the most important point is that the residents here are not enterprising.

Because most of the residents of Xingchuan City are small landlords who own hunting grounds.

If the colony can grow faster and better, it is impossible to rely on the government and the army alone, and the strength of the people is even more indispensable. In the early days of planetary colonization, in order to motivate the people to participate in urban construction, the Federation had many preferential policies.

Participate in urban construction, hunting wild animals to collect resources, and even killing dangerous species, you will receive corresponding reward points. These points can be used for land. The more points, the larger the land.

Most of the early colonists were very courageous figures. They worked very hard for their future generations to develop better and for their descendants. For example, the Li family and the Beimen family were able to grow to this level, which is closely related to the efforts of their ancestors. Of course, there were still more people whose descendants did not defend their family business and eventually fell one by one.

The residents of Xingchuan City represent the group that is neither up nor down.

Instead of operating the land themselves, they rented the land to the government and received a certain dividend every year. The dividends were not enough to make a fortune, but they could also ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing. They were passed down from generation to generation and lived a steady life.

The reason why many people went to the municipal government to make trouble is because the land they rely on for survival has encountered a crisis.

But this is not a government acquisition of land, but the opposite. These people are clamoring and asking the government to buy their land.

Because the third-level dangerous species was not found, the military finally decided to conduct a thorough investigation so that it had nowhere to hide. Simply put, it was to bomb all the places where the dangerous species might hide, and plow it with interstellar warship-level artillery fire.

It seems that this method is a bit extreme, and it is even suspected of killing chickens and retrieving eggs, but this is undoubtedly the most time-saving method.

The threat of the third-level dangerous species is too great. If you can't find it in one day, it means that there will be one more danger. Moreover, that danger is not a simple life and death, but a threat to the entire human race. So in the face of this extreme combat method, no one in Li Xuantong, Beimen Baluo, and even the parliament raised any objections.

However, if the officials do not object, the owner who is affected by the land will have a big opinion.

After being bombed by interstellar artillery, the land will be destroyed. Although the ownership will not change, it will take at least decades or even hundreds of years to wait until it is intact.

The government rents private land instead of contracting, but paying dividends according to the income. Once the land is abandoned, it means that there is no income. How could the landlords be willing?

Of course there are compensation policies, but the standards are only based on the average of dividends for ten years. It sounds fair, but most people disagree.

Because the annual income is different, it is common for the dividend income to double when the year is good. Especially if you have good luck, if you catch interstellar monsters or even hunt dangerous species in the hunting ground area, the income will be several times higher.

Now everyone knows that there are dangers in activities outside, and it is said that the level is high and the number is large. If the hunt is successful, the dividends they get will probably not be worth it for ten years a year. Only compensate according to the average value of previous years, and not many people agree.

But the little landlords are not stupid, knowing that the military's combat plan will not be changed casually. If you support it, don't compensate, and wait until the hunt is successful in the end. Although short-term benefits can be obtained, in the next few decades, nothing will grow on their land.

Therefore, residents asked the government to directly acquire the land.

Moreover, it is not enough to be less money. You must make huge compensation. At least one piece of land must be sold to ensure that you can be worry-free for three generations.

This kind of willingness is quite strong. At the beginning, it was still normal to apply, but later it became more and more intense. The people who came to the city government to protest were all calm.

After inquiring, I found out that there were still a large number of people who were not calm enough who actually went out of the city to protest.

Many people went to their land to set up tents and sat quietly, making it impossible for the army to bomb the relevant areas.

After learning about the whole situation, Li Mu was quite helpless.

These people are really natural, they all want money but not life.

The army is impossible to bomb, but the dangerous species will not be picky.

Li Mu knew that the reason why many people have the courage to go is not that they are not afraid of death, but that they believe that the army will protect them. However, those people have never fought with dangerous species and do not know that those aliens are terrible.

Even if there is no third-level dangerous species, only the first-level dangerous species will be attacked, and the army will find it difficult to protect them.

However, Li Mu just sighed and had no intention of intervening.

It was because he was afraid of such trouble that Li Mu did not intend to develop in the government. At the time, he was in a state of dying and was overwhelmed by just doing work with a few people, let alone such group incidents.

But Li Mu didn't plan to meddle in other people's business, but Teacher Huang Siting couldn't stay out of it.

Because Huang Siting met her former neighbor among the protesters, she even got a message from her neighbor.
