Chapter Summary
Everyone quickly boarded the city's public transportation, the so-called subway, which was no different from subways in other cities. In other cities, the subway is just a simple track, and when you get off at the station, it's all dark around you. "To prevent those people from being completely unaware, if they continue to dwell on this matter, I'll bring them to this city and let them experience the so-called public budget here, to see if they can just tolerate it.
Everyone quickly boarded the city's public transportation, the so-called subway, which was no different from subways in other cities. However, the subway in this city was surrounded by various things. In other cities, the subway is just a simple track, and when you get off at the station, it's all dark around you.
There was nothing there, but it was completely different in this city. It was like a place where people lived. Each building had an entrance and exit built underneath it, and roads were built in all directions underneath. Many cars traveled underground. This underground city made Liu Ning and his group feel very strange.
But this is an absolute fact, and Liu Ning and the others are extremely curious about it. How exactly was it built in the first place? You know, creating such an underground city is no simple matter. If it were to be completely excavated, it would probably take a very long time.
So Liu Ning asked Er Lengzi to explain the basic situation of the city to everyone. Er Lengzi had become quite familiar with everyone. When he spoke, he was very expressive and even added gestures, which is something that most people don't do. Miss Julie was standing next to him, laughing heartily.
"Since you all don't mind, I'll explain the specific situation here to you. Our city is quite old, established around the same time as other cities after the Great Cataclysm. However, our situation is much better than yours because we have received more funding."
This is our only advantage. Let me put it this way: if you can get a two-dollar grant, we can get a five-dollar grant. If that money isn't enough, we might be able to get even more. This is our strongest asset.
Although many people say that we take more than our share here, the reality is that if you were asked to come here, would you be willing? It's practically impossible. It is precisely because of this that the higher-ups take great care of us, and we also bear the greatest pressure, suffering an attack from ferocious beasts almost every three years.
This frequency is much higher than where you are, right? Our population is about 70% of yours, but in terms of city area, it's at least five times larger than yours. That's the reality, that's what our city is like, different from other cities.
After hearing this, many people changed their minds. To be honest, they had also read the information about the Northern City and thought that the city used too much public budget, almost more than several other cities. But after listening to Er Lengzi's words, they changed their minds.
These people had no objections. Everything the other person said was true. The reason they received so much money was because they had endured so much pressure. If they hadn't endured so much pressure, why would they have received so much money?
Because of this, many people used to criticize him online, saying he was taking money and not doing anything worthwhile. But now no one says that anymore, because they all understand that he is using the money to help all of humanity. He gets attacked every three years. What kind of frequency is that? If it were Liu Ning's side...
Their city probably wouldn't exist long ago. No matter if they had Liu Ning or Wudi, they couldn't solve this problem. The main reason is that this problem is difficult to solve. A city's ability to withstand attacks is limited. If it is attacked every three years, not to mention fixed things like city walls.
Let's just talk about those capable people. Can they really hold on? It's almost impossible. It's precisely because of this that Liu Ning knows how difficult it is for these people. So, the fact that they can still persevere under such circumstances is indeed different from other military regions. Moreover, they haven't made any mistakes during these years of perseverance, which is the most important thing.
"Speaking of which, you have really worked hard over the years. Without your perseverance, how could we have such a peaceful and prosperous life? We see this very clearly, so we will not forget these things. In our memory, there has always been the contribution of people like you. Perhaps we did not understand this before."
But after your explanation, we have a new understanding of this city and of you people. You are indeed heroes of society and have made contributions to the entire human society. In fact, if you had left here, those ferocious beasts might have already rushed into human society.
If you join forces with the ferocious beasts in the interior, it will be even more difficult for us humans to survive. Please allow me to pay tribute to you on behalf of some people in the interior. This time, I will also truthfully report your situation to the higher authorities and shut everyone up. It is necessary for you to spend more public funds.
"To prevent those people from being completely unaware, if they continue to dwell on this matter, I'll bring them to this city and let them experience the so-called public budget here, to see if they can just tolerate it. If they can't, they'd better shut their mouths, otherwise this would be going too far."
Liu Ning's words struck a chord with these people. Many people in inland areas have this attitude. They don't care what the real situation is. They can say whatever they want. They feel that this place shouldn't have so much money. If all the money is kept here, then other cities are unnecessary?
Now everyone understands. Look at the stunned looks on everyone's faces, and think about what Er Lengzi said earlier. In a city like this, who would work hard?
The city might be breached in three years. Every time the ferocious beasts attack, it's like a person being reborn. Who can settle down in this place? So it's perfectly normal for them to act this way, and no one will say anything.
