Chapter 100: Is there any kind of company capital?
In Cave No. 96, two hundred law enforcement team members wearing exoskeleton armor and holding guns have occupied the cave and blocked all surrounding mine tunnels.

In the center of the cave, employees of the City Taxation Bureau using digital handheld terminals were verifying the taxes of every person in the cave.

"Name: Brian

Account balance: 369 credits

After deducting the thirty years of spiritual energy tax collected in advance, you owe the City Taxation Bureau 143631 credit points. According to the law, you will be sent to the Heavenly Computing Center to work for twenty years. "

"Name: Wynn

Account balance: 1145 credits

Deduct the psychic tax collected thirty years in advance."

The cave dwellers, dressed in rags and with numb faces, registered one by one and were then divided into two groups based on whether they paid taxes or not.

The person on the left pays taxes legally according to government decrees and is still a free resident.

On the right are people who owe taxes and need to be sent to the Paradise Computing Center to work and pay off their debts.

However, from the beginning of registration to now, not a single one of the more than three thousand cave residents has been able to pay the thirty years of psychic energy tax levied in advance, and the crowd on the right has already filled the registration site.

Some people had anger in their eyes, some looked unwilling, but more were dull and numb.

"Name: Shaq
Account balance: 135812406 credit points"

After this figure was reported, even the staff at the City Taxation Bureau were stunned. More than 100 million credit points is a huge sum of money no matter where it is placed, let alone in the already impoverished Lower City District.

He subconsciously looked up at the bald man in front of him, but heard the other party speak loudly:

"I paid their psychic tax for them!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a glimmer of light appeared in the eyes of many numb cave residents.

The staff of the City Taxation Bureau looked unhappy and stammered in response:
"This is against the rules!"

"Whose rules?" Shaq asked in a deep voice.

"No one else is allowed to pay the spiritual energy tax collected in advance. This is a rule just issued by the City Taxation Bureau!"

As soon as the staff member finished speaking, Shaq slapped the desk in front of him and broke it.

"fart!"

“I think you just want to send us cave people to the Heaven Computing Center, so you came up with this advance taxation.

You are not after money, you just want to kill people!"

The huge noise immediately attracted the attention of the law enforcement guards, and a number of psychic firearms were instantly aimed at Shak.

"Put your hands up!"

"Give up resistance!"

"The tax collection site was destroyed and must be sent to the Heavenly Computing Center!"

Shouts rang out here, drawing everyone's attention.

Upon hearing this, Shaq flew into a rage and shouted:
“Brothers, these guys in Midtown and Uptown have woven so-called taxes and tried every means to take our souls away, and they don’t allow us to resist. What’s the difference between them and the devil?
Why don't we take this opportunity to rebel against him!

Is there any kind of company capital? "

Shaq's exaggerated performance was a complete joke in the eyes of the law enforcement team and the city tax bureau.

They had already figured out the habits of the cave people. They had no money, and only had the lowest level of psychic tattoos on their bodies. They couldn't even beat the kids in Midtown. How could such trash resist?
But the result was completely beyond their expectations. Suddenly, a burst of responses came from the crowd. "Well said!"

"It's the other way around!"

"These lackeys on the ground deserve to die!"

Shouts and curses rang out, and suddenly hundreds of figures rushed out from the crowd and pounced on the members of the law enforcement team.

They are extremely fast and can even tear exoskeleton armor with their bare hands. The law enforcement team members holding weapons are as fragile as children in front of them.

"It's a psychic!"

Immediately, members of the law enforcement team opened fire in response, and the scene became chaotic. At the same time, shouts of killing were heard in the blocked underground passage.

A large number of psychics rushed out from every corner, easily overwhelming the law enforcement team of two hundred people.

Most of the law enforcement team members were killed in the first moments of the confrontation, and those who survived had their armor and weapons stripped off.

The psychics then threw the naked law enforcement team members and city tax bureau employees into the crowd of cave residents, and then quickly left Cave No. 96.

The seriously injured law enforcement team and city tax bureau employees were a little frightened at first, but when they saw that there were ordinary people with timid expressions around them, they immediately became braver.

"Whoever sends us back to the surface will receive 1000 credits!"

There is no doubt that most of the cave dwellers cannot earn more than 1000 credit points a month. If it were a few days ago, such a request would be enough to make these cave dwellers scramble for it.

But now, all the people in the cave have owed huge debts due to the early taxation decree. What's the use of getting 1000 credit points? Don't they still have to enter the Heavenly Computing Center?

The numb expressions of the cave people made the law enforcement team members and the city tax bureau employees furious. Their wealth was just enough to pay the psychic tax decree, and 1000 points was already the limit.

But these cave dwellers didn't appreciate it at all. They could only threaten:

"Send us back to the surface and we can let bygones be bygones.

If you persist in your wrongdoings, you will be helping those sneak attacking rebels, and when the law enforcement team arrives, they will definitely settle accounts with you!"

Hearing the name of the law enforcement team, the people in the cave finally reacted and some commotion began to appear among the crowd.

The seriously injured law enforcement team member's eyes lit up when he saw this, and continued loudly:
"This is your last chance. Once the law enforcement team arrives, they won't be as easy to talk to as I am.

By then, you might be executed directly, and you won’t even be qualified to go to the Heaven Computing Center!"

As the words fell, the crowd became more agitated, and then a voice suddenly rang out:
“If we save them, they will be sent to the Heavenly Computing Center. If we don’t save them, they will be executed by the law enforcement team.

We are going to die anyway, so why should we help these guys exploit us?"

As he spoke, a ragged cave dweller picked up a large stone from the ground and smashed it hard at the seriously injured member of the law enforcement team.

The stone smashed the head of the law enforcement team member, and blood flowed. The law enforcement team member was furious:
"You lowly bastard, you deserve to die. I will tear you into pieces!"

However, his threat did not have any effect, and more cave dwellers began to follow suit. They picked up stones on the ground and threw them at the law enforcement team members.

One, two, three... countless stones fell like rain, venting the anger of the people in the cave.

Half an hour later, the law enforcement team members were buried in a large amount of rubble, and their blood-stained faces still showed the fear of death.

With the previous experience of the law enforcement team members as a lesson, the anger of the people in the cave was finally aroused. They surrounded the members of the City Tax Bureau who failed to escape and smashed them to death with gravel and wooden sticks.

In the distant mine tunnel, Shak nodded with satisfaction, then walked towards the next cave.

The same thing happened in the various tax-collecting caves. On the first day of collecting the thirty-year psychic tax, an unprecedented fierce resistance broke out in the caves.
