Ye Xiaoxing nodded repeatedly at his words.
"I knew it. You didn't just rely on luck to stop the White Spirit and Gao Ye."
Ye Xiaoxing looked at Meng Chao with an admiring gaze. "You're right. Even though we shouted out the slogan of conquering the Other World during our most despairing era, it was just to gather the people's hearts and guide them to the highest ideal. It didn't mean that the war would be so easy to win and that the Other World would be so easily conquered.
"Many of the specialists in the Survival Committee, Supernatural Tower, and Red Dragon Army have made deductions about the form of the war later. Unlimited terrorist attacks like you mentioned might replace the simple and crude head-on clashes over the past few decades and become the main tactic the monsters will use to fight against humans.
"But physical terrorist attacks won't be a fatal threat to Dragon City. What we have a headache about is the mind attacks launched by monsters."
Meng Chao thought about it and said, "Are you talking about monsters like the Demonic Air Ripping Eyes who are skilled in mind attacks and can make a human's mental strength index plummet?"
"No. The Demonic Air Ripping Eyes might have great mental strength, but their intelligence isn't high. Even if they can make a human's mental strength index plummet to zero, at most, they will only create some brain-dead victims or pure lunatics. They won't be able to harm the foundation of Dragon City.
"The mind attacks I'm talking about will directly attack a human's thoughts."
Ye Xiaoxing pointed at his temple.
Meng Chao frowned a little. "Thoughts?"
"That's right. The sturdiest fortress is always destroyed from within. The easiest thing for humans to be affected, corrupted, changed, or even completely twisted is their thoughts."
Ye Xiaoxing thought about it for a while before he said, "Meng Chao, you're just a freshman. You haven't truly stepped into society yet. The education you received from elementary school to high school might have described Dragon City's current situation as one where everyone is united and is incredibly bright.
"I can't deny that after half a century of blood, sacrifices, and hard work, Dragon City has walked out of the darkness and created unprecedented glory. It won't lose to any of the mega cities on Earth.
"Most of the superhumans have taken the lead and given their all to make the flames of human civilization burn brightly in the Other World.
"But …
"There's no such thing as a perfect world. No matter what kind of society it is, there will always be all sorts of problems and conflicts. You can understand that, right?"
Meng Chao nodded to show that he was not a naive high school student. He was already mentally prepared for the problems Dragon City faced.
Ye Xiaoxing nodded and told him about Dragon City's current main conflict.
First was the conflict between superhumans and normal people.
Humans had never been equal. A heaven that was absolutely equal would only turn into an even more tragic hell.
Since ancient times, humans had never been equal. A so-called heaven that was absolutely equal would only become a more miserable hell.
But no matter how unequal humans were on Humans on Earth on, it, and Meng Chuan Tian, it.
In terms of individual strength, lifespan, and other basic aspects, even the top 100 richest people in the world would not be much different from a penniless vagrant.
"Money" can Tian, and "God", and "Tian" could "Feng" t "mean.
"Tian". "Chen, he", the "God", "", "them" them "" t. "
He "Feng" Chen "Chen" Feng "" "" "" "'t" "" "on."
Because of it, normal people knew that there was an insurmountable gap between them and the rich, but they could still accept it.
But after Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World, new things like spirit energy and superhumans appeared. The difference between individuals was not just limited to money, status, power, and other external things. Even the most basic aspects of human life, such as strength, lifespan, physical fitness, and other aspects, had a world of difference between them.
It was one thing for an employee who worked from nine to nine to see his boss driving a good car and hugging a beautiful woman.
It was another thing for him to see his boss flying high in the sky and being able to bring out destructive power with just a lift of his hand. He might even have a lifespan that was twice as long as the employee's.
Needless to say, not long after he had transmigrated, in an era where order had collapsed, the attractiveness of the strong to the opposite sex had greatly increased. The traditional monogamous system of humans was challenged, and it was common for the strong to have multiple wives and concubines.
Even now, there were people who would rather give up their status and give birth to children with powerful genes than follow the weak and let their normal children be born in a world where zombies and monsters roamed the land and where the apocalypse could descend at any moment. This sort of argument was very popular among the people.
"Unless they awakened to supernatural abilities, it's irresponsible for normal people to give birth to children!"
Over the past twenty years, Dragon City had been in the age of a baby boom.
But over the past two years, this sort of argument had gradually risen up online.
This was also a normal phenomenon of people going overboard after the population explosion. There was a lack of space, a lack of resources, and the pressure of competition between people increased.
When a normal person's most basic right to reproduce was challenged, it was very difficult for them to look at the difference between them and superhumans with a normal mindset.
"That Weeping Reaper Lin Chuan walked down the wrong path because the difference between normal people and superhumans was too great. His thoughts gradually became more extreme, right?"
Ye Xiaoxing sighed. "It's not that the Survival Committee and the Supernatural Tower don't see the problem of the divide between the strong and the weak becoming worse, and it's not that they don't want to solve this problem, but this is a new problem that humans have never encountered in the hundreds of thousands of years of history on Earth. There's no way they can solve it quickly, completely, and perfectly while they're at war.
"The simplest reason is that even if we win the northern offense, Dragon City will still face the danger of being surrounded by monsters, and beyond Monster Mountain Range is the boundless Other World. Who can guarantee that there are no enemies who are even more dangerous than monsters?
"If we don't give a lot of resources to superhumans first, who will fight against these enemies? As for the Red Dragon Army? I'm not trying to belittle the Red Dragon Army's fighting strength, but it's impossible for us to send millions of Red Dragon Army soldiers tens of thousands of kilometers away and ensure that their supply line will be unobstructed.
"At the end of the day, we still have to rely on superhumans, and superhumans have risked their lives to fight against all sorts of monsters. Shouldn't they enjoy the rewards they deserve?
"We might be able to force superhumans to hand over their rewards and share them with the normal citizens so that we can achieve equality on the surface, but once we achieve equality, how are we supposed to stimulate the superhumans' fighting spirit and desire? I don't know. We might have to rely on brainwashing. "
"That's right," Lu Siya could not help but butt in.
Lu Siya could not help but butt in. "Around thirty years ago, most of the normal people were cowering in the trenches, ruins, and lairs while shivering. It was the superhumans from my grandfather's generation who fought against the monsters and excavated a lot of resources to rebuild Dragon City.
"At that time, all the normal people were grateful to the superhumans and worshiped my grandfather and the others from the bottom of their hearts.
"But some of the normal people today have a much higher standard of living compared to twenty to thirty years ago, but they don't understand the concept of being content with what they have. All they see is unfairness and dissatisfaction. One moment, they say that the upward tunnel is closed, and the next moment, they say that the superhumans are living a luxurious life.
"What a joke. My grandfather was mining at the borders of Dragon City in the past, and he had to fight against monsters every few days. His intestines were dug out multiple times. My father ran into a few mine disasters, and every time, he brushed past death. Even I was nearly reduced to ashes under Raging Waves. The sacrifices and hard work of three generations of my family became a heinous crime just because they enjoyed it a little?
"The way I see it, these normal people must have been bewitched by intelligent monsters who are skilled in mind attacks. That's why they have such ungrateful thoughts."
"You can't say that," Ye Xiaoxing said.
"It's a weakness in human nature that no one can completely overcome it. Besides, there are also black sheep among superhumans who use their superpowers to commit crimes and harm the interests of normal people." The adjudicator court is definitely doing everything it can to suppress these evil superhumans, but all of them have great skills and can cause great damage, so the adjudicator court has to be wary of them.
"Good things don't go out, but bad things spread far and wide. It's no longer news that superhumans fight against monster invasions in the wild, but superhumans use their superpowers to commit crimes in the city and beside normal people. Every time they commit crimes, major news will break out, and at the same time, they will create chances for intelligent monsters to take advantage of the situation."
Ye Xiaoxing tapped the messy office table with his finger and cast a glance at Meng Chao's expression. When he saw that he was calm and composed, he continued with his introduction.
Not only were there conflicts between normal people and superhumans, there were also disagreements among the superhumans regarding the development model of Dragon City.
One of the greatest disagreements was whether they should limit the size of the nine great mega corporations.
Everyone knew that the current order in Dragon City was witnessed by Battle God Lei Zongchao and built by the nine great mega corporations together.
Now, not only did the nine great mega corporations control Dragon City's economic lifeline, they also had their own schools, hospitals, and armed forces that were even more elite than the Red Dragon Army. They also controlled more than half of the seats in the Survival Committee, and the people in charge of the mega corporations were Deity Realm superhumans who stood at the peak of human evolution.
It should be said that when the viruses, zombies, and monsters rampaged through the city, Dragon City was divided into countless fragmented lairs. The rise of the mega corporations was inevitable, and it was beneficial for the continuation of human civilization.
But now, the existence of the mega corporations had greatly weakened the authority of the Survival Committee and squeezed the living space of the small and medium-sized enterprises. There was also a possibility that the interests of the corporations would be placed above the interests of Dragon City in the future colonization war.
Whether they should limit or even break up the nine great mega corporations so that the highest authority would truly be in the hands of the Survival Committee became a topic of debate among the knowledgeable people.
But since there were at least nine Deity Realm superhumans standing behind the nine great mega corporations, this sort of debate might just be empty talk for a long period of time.
