From a certain point of view, the two most stringent laws in the Federation and the most thoroughly enforced laws were the First Charter and the Wildlife Protection Act. They were also the two laws that Feng Yu, the owner of the repair shop, hated the most.
The origin of the First Charter had long been unverifiable. Although it touched on the most critical privacy regulations, in the hearts of the Federation citizens, it seemed that they had long been accustomed to its existence. No one had raised the slightest doubt. Perhaps the hundreds of thousands of years of peaceful development of civilization had caused many truths to be buried in the shadows of history.
The Wildlife Protection Act was another mystery in the history of the Federation. Many social activists had never understood why the status of wildlife and natural vegetation was so much higher than that of human beings in the Federation. Other than the exploitation of resources, the Federation civilization had very limited modifications to the surface of the planet. It seemed that there was an invisible hand that had been pushing this civilization to try to live more harmoniously with nature.
Every planet had an electronic fence that divided the fields outside the city into a large number of areas to protect the wildlife. Any poaching would be met with the most severe punishment by the Federation Management Committee. The problem was that this kind of living was not harmonious, especially for people like Xu Le and Feng Yu who especially liked to eat meat. If they could not eat meat in their mouth, how could they be happy?
Although synthetic food could achieve a very rich texture and taste, there were always people in the world who could not erase those instinctive things that were incomparably passionate about natural ingredients.
"We have to be more careful this time. Half a year ago when we killed that cow, the people of HTD turned the black market upside down, so there was no meat to be sold in the city for four days. Fortunately, no one knew that we killed it, otherwise we would have been locked up for three months..." Xu Le cautiously reminded the owner of the electric fence as he followed the uncle carefully in the direction of the electronic fence.
"If HTD is really so incorruptible... cough cough..." The repair shop owner coughed, indescribably mocking. He threw the cigarette butt to the ground and stamped it out. "Where did the rabbit meat and mutton in the black market on Clock Tower Street come from?"
"But what we killed was... a wild cow." Xu Le was still a little scared. "No one has dared to sell that for many years."
"We are not selling to the black market." Feng Yu waved his hand and said firmly, "Even if HTD caught us, at most, they would only give us a reprieve."
HTD's full name was National Ocean, Space, and Land Administration. The name sounded scary, but in fact, it was a special agency set up by the Federation government according to the Wildlife Protection Act.

Looking at the herd of bison roaming leisurely across the electronic fence, the two of them stopped in their tracks. The buffaloes were not afraid of the humans on the other side of the wall. When they walked, they often saw these poor bipeds, but they had not had close contact with them for many years. But today, the leader of the herd clearly felt the hostility from the two humans opposite it. It raised its huge bull head vigilantly and arrogantly, and the irritation in its eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Xu Le was still a little worried, but when he saw the provocative look of the wild cow, he couldn't help but get angry. He thought to himself, I just want to eat your meat. Do you have to look down on me like this?
With a few moos, Feng Yu imitated the sound of the wild cow and roared a few times toward the electronic wall. The leader of the herd of wild cows was immediately enraged and rushed toward the electronic wall. Then Feng Yu and Xu Le quickly ran along the wall until they led the wild cow to a small hill far away from the mine.
Xu Le ran while gasping for breath. He admired the somewhat clumsy figure in front of him to the extreme. He thought to himself, "Boss is really a wonderful person. He can even provoke a wild cow. No wonder when I first met him, I was so angry that I couldn't even eat."
...
...
At the bottom of the hill, Feng Yu spat out two mouthfuls of saliva and stood on the side of the electronic wall with his hands on his hips. He looked at the exhausted wild cow on the opposite side. He stared at the other side's hooves and two sharp horns that were digging in the ground. He gasped and said, "Don't be afraid. These cows have been locked up for hundreds of thousands of years. They have learned long ago. They don't dare to hit this wall."
Xu Le held the wall and nodded weakly. The electronic wall on the planet was made of a special kind of steel. It was equipped with a chip management system. Once it was under too much force, it would automatically eject an electric current. God knows how many years had passed, but the electronic wall was not afraid of wind and rain. There was no rust or traces of being hit. One could imagine how strong it was.
"Old rules, you kill the cows, I'll keep watch," Uncle Feng Yu said matter-of-factly.
"Uh..." Xu Le had already accepted his fate. He walked to the bottom of the electronic wall dejectedly. He subconsciously touched the chip behind his neck. He wondered if the electronic surveillance network here would notice a small signal jump.
After all, he had climbed over the electronic wall three times, so Xu Le was not as worried as the average criminal. He took a deep breath and spat two mouthfuls of saliva on his palm. He instantly turned into a monkey and used an extremely fast speed and extremely flexible and gentle technique to climb over the wall.
...
...
"Not bad." Feng Yu sat on the hill and smiled as he watched this scene. He thought to himself, "If the chief examiner of the National Defense Admissions Examination is not blind, he will definitely be able to see the strength of this young man."
And if the people of the Federation knew that someone could directly climb over the electronic wall that was called the Wailing Wall by the black market traffickers without going through the electronic decoding, they would be shocked speechless. The electronic surveillance of the Federation was everywhere. Why was it that when this young man clearly crossed the border, the chip in his neck did not send out a pulse and the surveillance system did not respond?!
Xu Le did not know that his familiar jump was a destructive step for the First Charter and for the Federation society. He also did not notice that in the hands of the military deserter and the repair shop owner, there was a small device that continuously emitted a light blue radiance. It completely enveloped the two of them and the raging bull.
Only when the grassland was large would the bull be able to run happily. Anyone who was locked in an iron cage would feel anger.
Or it could be said that when it felt that someone wanted to harm it, it would also feel anger. When Xu Le's feet lightly stepped on the grassland, the dark brown raging bull suddenly charged at him. The long hair by its neck fluttered in the air, forming an exceptionally heroic and beautiful line.
Xu Le was a bit scared. His face was a bit pale, but he remained calm. When the bull's sharp horns were a meter away from him, he twisted his left ankle and his entire body fell to the side. At the same time, his right hand pointed at the bull's large body.
With a zap sound, blue electric arcs flashed. The bull had no way of resisting the inertia. The instant it brushed past Xu Le, it was directly struck by the small but powerful military stun baton.
With a boom sound, the bull fell onto the grassland, stirring up some dust and bits of grass. Xu Le walked over. There was not a trace of excitement on his face, only vigilance.
