Chapter 1167 The City Where the Sun Never Sets 37

At this time, in a large conference hall in Pang Tong.

A group of people sat together.

"Mr. Xie, the groundwater level has dropped again."

"There are more and more outsiders coming in. We're almost full of people who pay to come in. And some people who want to sneak across crashed into the west railing today."

"Those outsiders are out of control and bring their own diseases with them. They are a real source of unrest. Residents have long had significant complaints about these outsiders."

"Find a way to kill them."

"Those bodies need to be dealt with too."

"Kill them all? Those refugees outside have come thousands of miles to escape, and it's fine if we don't take them in, but if killing them is too cruel, can't we just expel them?

And with so many people here, if we really take action, it will inevitably provoke a counterattack from these refugees."

“If the expulsion had worked, there wouldn’t be so many people and bodies gathered outside.

A large-scale strangulation is definitely not an option. We can use the excuse of preventing epidemics. Healthy people can enter Pangtong by killing more than ten patients and destroying 20 corpses.

Then let those qualified and healthy people come in under the guise of being allowed to come in, and then disperse and kill them.”

“I think this approach is feasible.”

"I agree with this approach."

This plan was put forward and instantly gained the consent of most people.

"Also, we need to check inside Pangtong and gather all the sick people together and clear them out."

"That's right! We can't let the disease spread in Pangtong."

"Mr. Xie, what do you think?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at the octogenarian sitting in the middle. The old man nodded with a compassionate expression on his face, "For the greater good, let's do this."

A dozen people in a room decided the life and death of thousands of people.

The meeting was adjourned immediately afterwards.

The old man just stood up when he suddenly started coughing violently.

Then he was supported by the young man next to him, "Mr. Xie, how are you?"

Everyone in the meeting stopped and looked at the old man when they heard this.

"I'm just old and too tired."

The old man, respectfully called Mr. Xie, waved his hand, calmly covering the age spots on the back of his hand. "Go and do your own things. Pang Tong is the most important thing."

at this time

Fu Anan and the others have already arrived in the city.

Unlike the smaller deserts and oases of Pangtong, where the houses are built of gray mud and stone, most are painted a pure white, evoking a sense of profound purity. The largest buildings are built of stone, resembling castles. Their curved roofs are covered in gold foil, creating a majestic and shimmering atmosphere.

The house was beautiful, but their experience was not.

During their time entering the city, they had been asked to check their entry signs twice, and witnessed an outsider without a sign being carried away by a group of people.

There are whistleblowers all over the city.

The locals will report any unfamiliar faces immediately, leaving no place for those who sneak in from other places to hide. They also don't like outsiders.

Whenever an outsider buys something, the price is at least 30% higher.

The place where I get water charges twice the price and I am squeezed to the back of the line.

“Is this regional discrimination?”

Fu Anan looked at these locals. They were completely different from the warm, generous, and polite Pangtong people that the black-hearted boss had described.

"It is a malicious attempt to squeeze out competition."

Lu Shen replied, "This is probably the only remaining oasis with a fertile water source. While the people living here are affected, it's not a major problem. Suddenly, refugees are pouring in from all corners of the world. They're squeezing the indigenous people's living space and consuming the local resources. This is causing prices to rise and resources to become scarce, and they're bound to be resented by the indigenous people."
