Homo sapiens

Europa thousands of miles away.

France has been very lively recently, and the reason is very simple, because the Elysée Palace recently planned to postpone the retirement age from 62 to 66.

Originally, the Elysee Palace planned to delay the age until the age of 64, but France's economy could not bear it.

The Kiev War resulted in a wave of Europa industries being harvested by America.

After the Homo sapiens company entered the African market forcefully, it caused France's economic colonies in Africa to go out of control. In order to stabilize the African colonies, it was forced to reduce its economic plunder in the African region and at the same time increase its military spending.

Between an increase and a decrease, France's income in Africa plummeted.

Add to this the previous global economic crisis, and the multifaceted impact of the plastic crisis.

France's fiscal debt ratio has exceeded the previous GDP of 120% and reached a new height of 137%. Pensions were suddenly unable to be paid.

If they don’t delay retirement now, they won’t be able to pay out.

Therefore, all parts of France are now very lively, with millions of people "singing and dancing", "enthusiastic", "mingling together" on the streets, and even lighting cars and flags to celebrate with bonfires.

Sophie, who is responsible for Europa's business intelligence, is drinking coffee at a roadside cafe in Paris while quietly admiring the beautiful scenery on the street.

Several young people sitting not far from Sophie were also looking at the angry-looking old men and women on the street. Their faces were also very tangled.

One of the curly hairs was a little depressed: "No matter how much trouble they make, it will be useless. The Elysee Palace will most likely not change its decision."

"David, do you think France still has a future?" Another young man with a big back leaned on his chair and looked at the crystal chandelier in the cafe with blurred eyes.

Curly David looked depressed: "The future? Maybe working directly for the Homo sapiens company is our future."

"Are you crazy? You actually want to work in Homo sapiens company?" Another round-faced companion was shocked.

Curly David is very serious: "I am not crazy, but I am stating a possibility. Do you think Europa can fight against Homo sapiens or America? Don't be naive, how many people in Europa's core institutions currently hold Aramco? Lika’s green card?”

The round face was speechless.

After Da Beitou took a sip of black coffee, he asked bitterly: "Why didn't you go to America?"

"Haha, can America support the entire Europe? I mean maintaining the current high welfare." Curly David asked rhetorically.

Da Beitou was immediately speechless.

Now don't ask America to help Europa. If you don't suck Europa's blood, the other party's conscience will find out.

Curly David pointed to the street outside the window: "Look at these people, they are our future."

In fact, this is the cruel reality.

There is no solution to this cruel reality anywhere in the world.

In the current social operating model, two major prerequisites are needed to ensure that the system continues to operate smoothly.

That is, the economy is growing steadily and has strong internal self-production capabilities.

If one of these two conditions goes wrong, the system will inevitably collapse.

In the last century, they were all college students majoring in journalism, and they knew the modern history of France and the situation at this time very well.

If the French economy can maintain rapid growth, it will not be a big problem and it can barely sustain it.

The problem is that the economy of France and Europe as a whole is now in recession.

So now a choice must be made.

Curly David was very sober, and he immediately saw the internal and external troubles in France.

In the world of capital, money is the foundation of everything. Without money, everything is just a mirror image.

The problem is that France is not America, and there is no way to run a nuclear-powered money printing machine. The borrowed money must be repaid, otherwise it will be the next Eastern Rome.

…

The backstreet of the cafe.

The kitchen staff pulled out a large amount of food waste and placed it next to the trash can on the roadside.

Not a moment.

An old lady with a slight stoop came to the trash can with a cane.

He skillfully took out the bag and rummaged through the contents of the trash.

A dozen apples with wrinkled skins, a large bag of baguettes, a large box of bananas with black spots on the surface, two salmon sandwiches...

There was also a box of broken biscuits, five bunches of green grapes, and three bruised pears.

The old lady only took enough food for three days and put it into the bag. She looked at the remaining food, made a cross on her chest, and silently recited:

“Thank you Lord for your gift!”

Under the setting sun, the shambling figure gradually faded away.

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.

Elderly people in developed areas can still pick up garbage to eat, but what about those in less developed areas?

Sophie stood under the bus stop sign and watched the old lady leave calmly.

When she first came to Europe, she thought it wouldn't be too bad here, but the facts shattered her previous perceptions.

The development here is actually uneven.

Poor infrastructure, high personal income tax, poor free medical care, extravagant consumption and waste, and arrogance.

These are what Sophie saw and heard in Europa.

As a post-1990s generation born in the Far East, it was hard for her to imagine the luxurious life of some ordinary European families with thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity a month.

Even at Homo Sapien Company, although the benefits are very high, everyone is more conscious about saving resources.

This kind of saving does not mean not using it, but reducing unnecessary waste.

For example, in Southeast Asia, although the air conditioner is turned on all year round, when people are not at home, the air conditioner and lights will definitely be turned off.

Many people in Europa do not have this concept. When they leave the house, they do not turn off the lights or air conditioning.

She shook her head and lamented: "Without the cheap natural gas from Lucia, Europa will be in ruins."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the bus did not show up.

Sophie patted her forehead with some annoyance: "It seems that the drivers have gone to participate in the event."

Suddenly, a man wearing a mask appeared behind Sophie, took out a dagger from his pocket, and then quickly approached her.

The next second.

Sophie swung her tail like a divine dragon and kicked her in the crotch.

"Ahhhh..."

The screams suddenly echoed for hundreds of meters.

A middle-aged white man who was picking up trash saw this scene and subconsciously picked up a baguette and rushed over.

"Ma'am! Are you okay?"

Sophie looked panicked with her heart beating fast: "Huhu...it's terrible. Fortunately, I have learned karate."

The black-bone chicken man with cracked eggs, like a cooked prawn, lay on the ground and howled.

The middle-aged white man held a baguette in one hand and quickly called the police with the other hand.

However, the call was put through, but the other party said they were short of manpower and asked them to wait for a while.

At this moment, several of the Wuji Man's companions rushed over and quickly helped the guy lying on the ground away.

Sophie, whose expression was still in shock, quickly thanked the middle-aged white man and left in a hurry.

In fact, Sophie was already used to it. During her mission in Paris, she encountered pickpockets three times and two road robberies.

Of course, not all of France is in such chaos, but some areas of Paris have relatively high crime rates because they are where immigrants live.

This is actually a common problem across Europe. Since the influx of a large number of refugees, various problems have emerged one after another.
