Start with a relationship in Dead Rising

"Old Chen!"

Inspector Hoshiguma from the Guard Bureau patted Officer Chen on the shoulder hard: "You drank too much (how can you say such things outside)."

She said it loudly, and then reminded Chen in a low voice.

Tell her not to make too many mistakes.

"..."

Police officer Chen did not speak, and began to pour alcohol vigorously.

"Fen sausage dragon, you are being stimulated~"

Superintendent Shi, oh no.

It was Superintendent Shi Huaiya, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "If you can't bear this pressure, resign quickly, and I will replace you as the head of the inspection team of the Guard Bureau!"

"I will never resign in my life, Miss Shi. You want to be the head of the inspection team of the Guard Bureau, unless it is in your dreams."

"·Longmen foul language·How many times have I said that my surname is not Shi! Listen, my code name is Shi Huaiya, or you can call me Officer Beatrix Swire, understand?"

"Your set of rules shut me down. Longmen swearing. No ordinary person would know the difference between your code name and surname."

Miss Shi and Officer Chen started their daily bickering.

Hoshiguma just sighed helplessly.

After get off work, she decided to ignore these two idiots and let them quarrel. She wanted to find someone who could talk well.

"Doctor, I offer you a toast."

"It's all thanks to the other employees of Rhodes Island, and Rhodes Island should be respected."

"That's right, to Rhodes Island."

Xingxiong and Chaoren clinked glasses, and after exchanging business bragging, they began to chat about what happened this afternoon.

Well, it's actually nothing.

As an expert in dealing with infected people, Rhode Island has a complete set of measures for infected people.

Including using origin stone skills to relieve the infected person's excessive emotions, using speech skills to soothe the infected person's anxiety, and then proposing a suitable plan—for example, working for Rhodes Island in exchange for healing medicine, anyway, Rhodes Island will be online here in the future. company.

At the same time, they were given three months of ore disease suppression medicine as a 'trial product' - even at the cost price, it was a huge sum of money.

In short, in the end those infected were persuaded to go back.A few who were unwilling to leave, and after the majority left, they also chose to take the medicine and leave.

Chaoren didn't play any role, just responsible for talking.

The words honed with Party A in the previous life are still useful.

"Doctor, Officer Hoshiguma, your Kiwanomaru."

A young man served two plates of steaming hot meatballs, and Chao Ren picked up a bunch and took a bite.

The eyes glowed.

"Delicious! The boss's craftsmanship is top-notch!"

"Hey, as long as the guests like it."

Ling, is a ferocious-looking young man with a natural face of a mafia boss.

Well, according to Xingxiong, Xiao is a young man who loves to read and works hard.A kind-hearted young man who endures hardships and stands hard work, and usually helps neighbors and neighbors, helping the elderly to cross the road.

Just like now, Zi is not an employee of the boss Dong Abo, he only comes here occasionally to help.

Sometimes I will help in the store, and sometimes I will push the mobile cart in the square.

"Zi has never done anything bad. Just because of her fierce appearance and sharp knife skills, she is often identified as a gang member. She even encountered danger several times, but she was lucky and escaped any danger."

Looking at the solitary that is gradually going away.

Hoshiguma shook his head, and whispered to Chaoren.

"Actually, what Chen said is right. Zi is often misunderstood just because of his appearance, and there are even rumors that he is a dragon killer. What about the infected? They are a real problem."

"question?"

Chao Ren frowned and corrected: "Officer Hoshiguma, the infected are not the problem, the problem is this land and everyone who uses the Origin Stone..."

"Inspector Hoshiguma, if you regard the infected as a 'problem', then you will never be able to solve this 'problem'." Chao Ren pinched the wine glass with two fingers, but his tone was unprecedentedly serious.

"And Longmen will only become the next city in the future."

He has carefully studied the development of Longmen and the intelligence of the infected people in Longmen. In just 20 years, he has grown from an ordinary border city to the most important import and export port of Yan Kingdom.But at the same time, the proportion of infected people in the city has also risen from the initial 1.5% to 2%.

Well, don't underestimate this 0.5% increase, but it's actually a jump from 70 to 8000 people—because the population of Longmen itself is also growing.

In today's Longmen, ore disease is no longer a 'rare' disease.

In the slums, the probability of encountering one or two patients with ore disease in the streets and alleys is no lower than the probability of encountering foreigners on the streets of Shanghai.

But that's not the worst.

真正让人触目惊心的是感染者数量增加的速度，感染者人数从70到100用了7年，从100到1000用了5年，从1000到3000只用了5年，而从3000到8000只用了不到3年。

It can be seen that the number of infected people will increase explosively over time.

And the source of all this is just as Chao Ren said.

It's a matter of the land and who controls it.

There are two biggest sources of infection for ore disease, one is the source of infection formed after the death of the infected person, and the other is the origin stone industry itself.

Inhaling too much dust, being scratched by Originium fragments, or even some kind of induction between blood relatives can be infected with ore disease.

In other words, the more origin stones are used in Terra, and the closer the origin stones are to daily life, the greater the probability of being infected with ore disease.

If Wei Yanwu can make up his mind and stop using Origin Stone Industry, otherwise the group of infected people in Longmen will only grow bigger and bigger.

And this is also a problem that all mobile city-states in the world have to face.

On one side is the convenient Origin Stone Industry, and on the other side is the ever-expanding group of infected people.

It's almost a no-brainer.

Therefore, the only choice that most people in power can make is to 'suffer the common people'.

And don't tell them that this kind of life will continue to be miserable.

Chapter 192 Chapter 185 Infected people are never a 'problem'

"Sorry, I misused the word."

"fine."

Chaoren shook his head.

But he knew that Xingxiong didn't use the wrong words, it was her real thoughts, and the change of words was just to take into account Chaoren's mood.

But that's what most people think.

Including Hoshiguma, and even many infected people, regard the 'infected people' themselves as problems.

"Then, how does Rhodes Island view the infected and the problems raised by the infected?"

Although he knew it might annoy Asahito, Hoshiguma did not intend to stop on this issue.

Before the integration movement outside the Longmen began to attack, the infected inside the Longmen had already begun to attack the Longmen Guards Bureau. The turmoil caused by the infected was no longer a pessimistic prediction, but a problem already visible to the naked eye.

As a supervisor of the special operations team.

Her keen intuition told her that even if she gets through this crisis, there will be many problems with infected people in the future.So in order to deal with various problems in the future, Hoshiguma plans to learn from Rhodes Island.

Chaoren shook his head: "Inspector Hoshiguma, you just changed the question of 'infected people are the problem'. You never thought about the fact that 'infected people' are not a problem."

"Um, I don't quite understand. Also, just call me Hoshiguma."

"Okay, Hoshiguma...Since you said it differently, let me say it differently. Hoshikuma, do you think ore disease is more fatal, or poverty and hunger?"

"This is poverty and hunger?" Hoshiguma thought for a while and answered.

Chao Ren shook his head: "No."

"That's why ore disease is even more fatal!" Hoshiguma replied affirmatively.

Chao Ren shook his head again: "No."

"Then... what is that?" Hoshiguma was confused.

"It's there."

Chaoren didn't say much, and pointed to the back: "The real problem in Longmen is over there, not the poor and infected people in the slums."

Hoshiguma followed Chaoren's fingers, looked across the artificial river, and saw a core urban area full of feasting and feasting.

"I hope you can solve the problem as soon as possible. Don't wait until the poverty and the infected are equated, and you start to worry and panic after the sickle is on your neck. It will be too late by then."

Chaoren continued to drink, he said enough here.Going on, Miss Shi Huaiya over there might get into trouble.

"...You're right, ore disease is a poor man's disease."

Xingxiong pursed his lips, and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "I can't solve this problem. However, I believe someone can solve it."

The trace of helplessness in her tone turned into firmness.

Shi Huaiya, who had been eavesdropping all the time, immediately took up the topic, she opened her fan to half cover her face, with a hint of pride: "Hmph, it must be me! I will lead the Longmen Guard Bureau to solve all the leftover poison left by Longmen! "

But Officer Chen who was nearer to him snorted disdainfully.

"Don't be naive, Beatrix Shuaiya. If you are allowed to take power, don't talk about solving the problem of Longmen, it would be good if you can maintain the status quo of Longmen instead of letting Longmen completely collapse."

"What did you say! Are you underestimating me!"

"Underestimate you? I didn't underestimate you, nor did I fight with you. I'm serious."

Chen shook his head: "We have worked together for so many years. Although you are often super, I can see your ability. As far as the entire Guard Bureau is concerned, there will never be more than ten people with abilities above you. .Even in certain aspects, such as finances, I can’t compare to you.”

"Uh... yes, yes."

What was waiting was not the usual quarrel, but a meal of boasting.Miss Shi Huaiya's old face blushed slightly, then her vigilance suddenly increased, and she narrowed her tiger eyes to carefully look at Chen's face.

——Is this a desire to suppress first to raise!In order to scold him harder later, Fenchanglong praised himself first?

It's just that all she saw was Police Officer Chen, whose chin and earlobes had turned pink from drinking too much.

"Of course, I have never denied your ability! I also believe that you have the ability to take on key positions in this city! You are always Beatrix Shuaiya, even if you become the leader of Longmen Reform in the future, you must You have the support of Shihuaiya Group."

Chen pointed to Chaoren next to him.

"The doctor in Rhodes Island made it very clear. The key to the problem is not one or two infected people, but the dragon gate itself that keeps increasing the number of infected people. As long as the city continues to develop, those large enterprises and factories using Originium industry, the number of infected people will almost inevitably increase."

"Okay, even if you become the new governor of Longmen. Can you abandon Shi Huaiya? Can you control every factory in Longmen and make them provide strict protection measures for all workers; can you stop crude but cheap Can Origin Stone electrical appliances enter the market; can you make Longmen stop because of a few 'infected people'?"

"Even if you, me, and all of us know that the development of Longmen is based on squeezing the labor force in the slums and depriving the infected—"

"Old Chen! You drank too much!"

Xingxiong picked up a Longmen steamed bun from his own plate, and stuffed it into Chen's mouth like lightning.

At the same time, looking at the other side worriedly, Shi Huaiya's face has turned black.

"It's the truth."

Chen swallowed the bun, looked over Xingxiong to Chaoren.

"Isn't that what you want to say? I've already said it for you, and it's your turn to say it next."

"say what?"

"Of course it's your plan."

Chen seemed to be really drunk, and his words became unscrupulous: "In your eyes, infected people and poverty have been linked to poverty, right? What do you think?"

"..."

Chaoren rolled his eyes.

How can he think, tell Superintendent Chen that there is a Master Ma in another world, and he put forward a set of guiding ideology of productivity and labor distribution that is the future of mankind?

Chaoren could only give an official answer that he had prepared a long time ago: "This question is a question that the governments of various countries and mobile city-states are thinking about. Our current goal in Rhodes Island is only one! Find a solution that can completely cure the ore disease and solve it fundamentally. The problem of ore disease!"

"Cut, coward who got away with it, are you afraid that Wei Yanwu will come and trouble you?"

Officer Chen was very dissatisfied with this answer.
