Homo sapiens

Star River Year 2, October 27th.

Balkan region.

The southern part of the Nemanya Republic.

A city with falling snowflakes, a towering border guard tower, and a quiet forest.

The city is clearly separated from the mountains and forests, and the surrounding fields have long been abandoned.

"It's snowing again..." Cage, the security guard in charge of the 5066 sentry tower, leaned against the railing and looked at the vast white mountain forest wilderness.

"Cage, you have a holiday in a few days. Do you want to travel to Space City?" Another black-haired security guard asked while observing the situation on the south side with a telescope.

Cage thought for a while: "I heard that traveling to Space City requires half a month's vacation. Agatha was pregnant some time ago, and I don't want to travel far."

The black-haired man did not force himself when he heard the words. At this moment, he found three hot spots in the jungle on the south side approaching quickly: "Cage, there is a situation."

In an instant, Cage opened the safety of the assault rifle and aimed at the three hot spots that were getting closer.

In the mountain forest, three figures wearing down jackets sneaked closer to the sentry tower using the cover of the bushes. As they approached the sentry tower, their speed became slower and slower.

One of the middle-aged men looked at the row of barbed wire fences surrounding the sentry tower with a hint of helplessness on his face.

At the junction of Nemanya and other areas, there are only guard towers and no barbed wire fences. Only the Blackbird Land has barbed wire fences.

At first, the Blackbirds didn't pay much attention and happily followed the Europa Consortium.

It’s just that as time goes by, the entire Europa Federation is now experiencing frequent problems. As the core of the Europa Federation, France, Western Rome, and Germany have to give priority to self-protection at this time.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. For the Europeans who put their interests first, they have no concept of providing help in times of need. They are already showing great kindness by not adding insult to injury.

In this case, the three cores of the Europa Commonwealth will naturally have to give up some of the places that cannot make ends meet, and the Balkans will bear the brunt.

In particular, Blackbird Land, which has very little economic benefit, saw its aid cut by 80%.

Blackbird Land, which used to be able to rely on aid and the tourism industry, as well as the garrison economy, could live relatively comfortably, is now suddenly in difficulty.

America, which could no longer maintain its global military presence, was very decisive and sold half of its bases and equipment in the Mediterranean to the Europa Consortium.

The US military base in Blackbird Land has naturally been laid off. Currently, the Europa Alliance Army does not have many troops stationed here, only two regiments and one radar station.

As for tourism, let alone that.

Now even the middle class in the Europa Commonwealth are no longer in the mood to travel, but are looking for ways to make money and maintain a decent life. Unnecessary expenses such as tourism must be cut off immediately.

Aid, tourism, and garrison consumption have all decreased, and their own agriculture cannot withstand the ravages of natural disasters and they do not have rich mineral resources. Life has suddenly become very difficult.

Although the people in Blackbird Land made trouble several times, it was of no use.

The Homo sapiens company has never liked people in Blackbird Land, especially those who are adults, otherwise they would not have set up a large circle of barbed wire here.

The middle-aged man came to the barbed wire fence, picked up a wooden stick with a pair of white underwear tied to it, and swung it towards the watchtower, hoping to attract the watchtower's attention.

However, Cage and Black Hair on the sentry tower remained unmoved.

After the three people approached, the sentry tower had identified their specific identities through pheromones.

"Tsk, you're just a piece of trash who takes advantage of the situation." Cage looked down upon these three guys with great disdain.

From the intelligence database, these three guys are notoriously idle in the Blackbird Land. They have done a lot of things to exclude and harass the Nemanya people in the past, and they have also published a lot of hostile remarks against Homo sapiens companies on the European and American Internet.

Now that they see that Blackbird's welfare is declining and the Europa Consortium's aid is reduced, they think of the Homo sapiens company and want to come over to take advantage of the welfare.

This kind of person is directly on the blacklist. If you want to enter the Homo sapiens company, there is no way.

The black hair directly raised the assault rifle.

Bang bang bang!

Several bullets passed by the three guys, splashing some snowflakes on them.

The sudden sound of gunfire scared one of the young men to the point of peeing: "Hoo ho ho... I'm not going!" After saying that, he ran away.

The middle-aged man also looked pale, but he looked at the tower fiercely, kept this in mind, threw down the branch, and moved back away from the barbed wire fence.

After leaving the barbed wire fence, the three of them stopped at a small wooden house.

"Boss, what should we do now? Those bastards won't let us go at all." A young man with triangular eyes was warming himself by the fire while talking.

The young man who had just changed his wet underwear had a silent expression on his face. It was obvious that he was very upset about his performance just now and couldn't hold his head up.

The middle-aged man ignored the pissing man and said through gritted teeth: "The Homo sapiens company must have been angry with us because Blackbird was unwilling to cooperate with them."

"What should I do? The prices in the supermarket have increased several times now, and my little savings are almost used up, bastard! If I had known, I would have saved more money!" Triangle Eyes' words were full of complaints.

The middle-aged man lit a cigarette: "Huh..." He blew out a smoke ring, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since there is no way to get there from Blackbird Land, we can take a detour. There are no restrictions on other places."

Hearing the middle-aged man's suggestion, his triangular eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes! As expected of the boss, as long as we pretend to be people from other places in the Balkans, the Homo sapiens company will definitely not be able to discover us."

"Haha..." The middle-aged man laughed proudly.

Obviously they don't know that the Homo sapiens company has the genetic and pheromone data of everyone in the world, and it is simply impossible to get away with it.

The three of them made a fire for half an hour and then hurried back to their town.

The inconspicuous town is also covered in ice and snow.

The streets were deserted, with the occasional few pedestrians walking in a hurry.

The three people passed by the only bakery in the town and were going to buy some bread. They found a price increase notice hanging at the door of the bakery.

Triangle eyes glanced at the price and was immediately shocked: "Is this robbery? Five times the price?"

The bakery owner spread his hands in embarrassment: "Don't blame me. Now the price of flour has increased a lot. When the electricity and heating bills are added up, I haven't made any money at all."

"..." The middle-aged man struggled for a while, then gritted his teeth and took out most of the money in his pocket: "Give me 30 kilograms of the cheapest whole-wheat bread."

The boss did not take the money, but shook his head: "Visa, do you see clearly? There is a purchase limit of 2 kilograms per person per day."

"What?" The middle-aged man clenched his fists.

But the bakery owner had no intention of being accommodating. He was not afraid of the Visa trio because his brother-in-law was the town's police chief.

In the end, the three Visa people could only buy 6 kilograms of bread and go back.

As soon as he got home and looked at the two old men chattering, Visa went to the kitchen without saying a word and started making bread. He made bread with all the flour left at home.

After all, he had to go to other places, and he didn't have much money, so he had to rely on a bicycle, so he had to prepare dry food by himself.

As for whether the two old people would starve to death if the flour at home ran out, he didn't care at all.

After baking bread all night, the three of them finally prepared 60 kilograms of bread and left the town while riding their bicycles without anyone noticing.
