"It took me a long time to understand the secret behind it," Bai Shan said coldly.
"The research, packaging, and part of the production of Spirit Snake Venom Blade are indeed carried out in Sky Pillar Corporation's weapon manufacturing center.
"But when it comes to high pollution, corrosion, and radiation, the damage to the maker's health is great, and it's very difficult to use automated machines to replace them, Sky Pillar Corporation outsourced them.
"Of course, Sky Pillar Corporation won't outsource these dangerous parts to the illegal workshops in Leprosy Village.
"The usual method is to first choose a manufacturing company that seems to be located in the outside world and seems to have complete facilities and a relatively good working environment.
"Then, this company will continue to outsource the orders to the gangs in the lair.
"In the end, through the gangs, they will end up in the hands of the illegal workshops in Leprosy Village.
"Because of that, after a lot of subcontracting, Sky Pillar Corporation won't need to bear any responsibility towards the illegal workshops in Leprosy Village who will eventually receive the orders.
"Even if the workers in the illegal workshops die from being exposed to acid, poison, and super radioactive crystal powder, it has nothing to do with Sky Pillar Corporation.
"Even if they have the responsibility to supervise them, they can only supervise the first contractor.
"And during the process of subcontracting, even if they do something illegal, the only ones who need to be responsible are the gangs. Sky Pillar Corporation is completely clean."
This was something Meng Chao had never heard or thought about before.
But based on Wild Wolf and Zhang Tie's expressions, he knew that they were already used to it.
"It's not just Sky Pillar Corporation. Which one of the nine great mega corporations doesn't do this?"
Bai Shan said. "The villagers suffer from excessive radiation and pollution, so they use their lives to create the deadliest weapons. These weapons are sent outside through the gangs, and the contractors send them to the nine great mega corporations." They put their brands on them, put them in beautiful packaging, and hire peerless fighters or super newbies like you to advertise them. Then, they can squeeze out an astonishing amount of profit, and 90% of this profit ends up in the hands of the mega corporations. Pitiful people like us, who have to give up our health and lives, only get 1% of the leftovers.
"After we discover this secret that isn't even a secret, we look at the promotions of the nine great mega corporations, and we find it really ironic and disgusting.
"It's especially so for Sky Pillar Corporation.
"Sky Pillar Corporation is known as the largest mining company in Dragon City. They were the first to help humans understand and use the value of crystals, and they are the mainstay of Dragon City.
"The founder of the corporation is also one of the founders of the Survival Committee. He is a peerless expert who is almost on par with Battle God Lei Zongchao. He is a hero respected by countless people and the guardian of an entire civilization!
"By the way, Sky Pillar Corporation has recently poured an astronomical sum of money into promoting the so-called model superhuman, Lu Siya.
"I've seen a lot of her promotional videos.
"Sometimes, she fights valiantly in the wild and kills monsters. Sometimes, she does voluntary labor in the city to serve the citizens. Sometimes, she focuses on studying the documents from the Survival Committee and comes to understand that superhumans are the sabers of human civilization, and the blood of the strong flows for the weak.
"These promotional videos often pop up on the internet through pop-up windows, and as time goes by, quite a number of children in Leprosy Village treat Lu Siya as a real hero. They treat Sky Pillar Corporation as the savior and guardian of their entire civilization.
"By the way, I almost forgot. You, Meng Chao, contributed to this. After all, when you worked together with Lu Siya, you uncovered quite a number of monster schemes!
"In all fairness, the promotional videos are done pretty well. Those two slogans are also very bewitching.
"Unfortunately, every time I see Lu Siya's face shine with a righteous and determined light online while she says in a righteous manner that superhumans are the sabers of human civilization, and the blood of the strong flows for the weak, I can't help but wonder whether she knows that the main reason why her family's Sky Pillar Corporation can become rich and that she can obtain an astronomical sum of cultivation resources to become a model superhuman is because of the blood, tears, and shining bones of the villagers!"
Meng Chao was silent for a while before he said, "I'm sorry. I really didn't know that life in the lair was like this."
"You didn't know, but Lu Siya definitely knew," Bai Shan said.
"Even if Lu Siya doesn't know about it, her father, her grandfather, and the founder and successor of Sky Pillar Corporation must know about it. Why have they never thought about changing the entire lair and changing the environment of Leprosy Village and the villagers' lives in the lair?"
"Golden Tooth Lair is a tumor buried deep in the heart of Dragon City. Trust me, the Survival Committee has wanted to completely solve the problem of the lair more than once, but the Monster War is raging, and our resources …"
Meng Chao instinctively tried to defend himself, but when he said this, he could not continue.
Just as he expected, Bai Shan laughed coldly again. "At the end of the day, the nine great cultivation families who rule over Dragon City do have the resources to be extravagant and cultivate themselves. They also have the resources to colonize the world, build new cities, and help their mega corporations expand their territory. But when it comes to changing the lair, they don't have enough resources.
"It's one thing for them not to know what's going on in the lair. It's another for them to know but ignore it. It's another for them to know but ignore it and use the brutal environment in the lair to gain benefits. It's another for them. The last is the most despicable.
"Now that I've said this, I can finally ask the second question that has been bothering me for more than ten years.
"I've always wanted to ask the old village chief this question, but before I could ask him, he died.
"Meng Chao, you and the old village chief told me that monsters are the source of all our suffering. As long as we win the Monster War, all our problems can be solved.
"But I remember clearly that when Leprosy Village was built, we weren't threatened by monsters yet!
"At that time, we were still at the later stage of the zombie crisis. The monsters were just shadows that you couldn't figure out in the fog. Even if a few of them occasionally transmigrated to Dragon City, since they were alone, they couldn't do much.
"Logically speaking, since there were no monsters who were the source of all evil, Dragon City should have been a peaceful and peaceful paradise, right?
"But why was Dragon City a lawless, bloody jungle at that time? Even the most basic order, law, and morals were all destroyed, and our fathers and grandfathers, the pitiful people who didn't die from the zombie virus and didn't go completely mad, were discriminated against, humiliated, harmed, and chased away. In the end, they had to crawl into the worst place in Dragon City and build Leprosy Village!
"If Leprosy Village is the source of all our tragedies, then were the monsters the ones who chased us here? And over the years, the ones who have been sucking our bones dry and squeezing everything out of us are also monsters? "
Bai Shan screamed at the top of her lungs.
The third eye at the center of her brows turned from a pure and flawless pearl to a sparkling, blood-red diamond.
"I'm sorry, Meng Chao. Perhaps to you, it's only right that humans and monsters are mortal enemies, but I just can't find a reason to hate monsters from the bottom of my heart."
Bai Shan regained her strange calmness and said faintly, "Yes, over the past few decades, Leprosy Village has been invaded by monsters, and some people have been bitten to death.
"But the number of people who died under the fangs and claws of monsters can't compare to the number of people who were squeezed dry by the mega corporations and tortured to death by the horrible working and living conditions.
"Besides, the latter way of dying is much more painful and despairing than being eaten alive by monsters.
"That includes Mom's death. I think that if the monsters are responsible for 10% of it, then Sky Pillar Corporation should be responsible for at least 90%.
"To me, no, I should say that to many of the villagers, the things lurking in Monster Mountain Range are no different from the things occupying the mega corporations. They're all monsters. If I had to say, one of them is wearing human skin, and the other doesn't hide its hideous and monstrous face. That's all.
"So, tell me, is it really that unbelievable to become the monsters' puppets?"
"Bai Shan, all the villagers in Leprosy Village are the same as you. They don't like the outside world, especially the mega corporations outside," Wild Wolf said grimly.
Wild Wolf said in a deep voice, "The reason why we established the Wild Wolf Gang was because we swore to use our own hands to take back what belongs to us!
"But no matter how much we hate and even hate the mega corporations outside, it doesn't mean that we should work together with monsters.
"Even if it's just as you said, the monsters in Monster Mountain Range and the masters of the mega corporations are all monsters, since we're not willing to be enslaved by one of them, we shouldn't be willing to join the other.
"If we really want to fight back, we should fight against both monsters at the same time!"
"That's easy for you to say, Wild Wolf. It's always easy to say heroic words," Bai Shan said coldly.
Bai Shan said coldly. "In the past, I loved hearing you say such bold words and seeing how passionate and hopeful you were. It was as if we could really use our own strength to create a brand new and beautiful Leprosy Village.
"But the more I came into contact with the outside world and came to understand just how large and terrifying the mega corporations are, the more I think that all our great dreams in the past were just wishful thinking.
"After generations of genetic screening and elimination, quite a number of genetic mutants in Leprosy Village became stronger. They even used another method to awaken to supernatural abilities.
"If we organize these powerful people, the current Wild Wolves will look pretty decent and can fight against the second-class gangs in the lair.
"In fact, I don't doubt that with your abilities and the continuous evolution of the villagers' fighting strength, before long, Wild Wolves will surpass Golden Tooth and become the strongest gang in the lair.
"But what will happen after that? Do you think that the strongest gang in the lair can break the order of the nine mega corporations ruling over Dragon City?"
