Chapter 9
The angry bull
In some sort of certain sense, the most severe in the federal laws, and also executed the most thorough two laws were the First Charter and the wild animal protection law, they were also the two laws the repair shop boss Fengyu hated the most.
The origin of the First Charter had already been far back and couldn’t be textual researched, even though it touched the most key regulation of the privacy protection, but in the hearts of the federal citizens, they seemed to have used to its existence and no one put forward any question. Perhaps hundreds of thousands of years of gentle civilization development, let many truth annihilated in the shadow of the history.
And the wild life protection law, was another puzzle of the federal history, a lot of social activists hadn’t understood, why in the federation, the position of the wildlife and the nature vegetation was far beyond the human being’s. In addition to the mining resources, the federal civilization was very limited for the reform to the planet surface, it seemed to have an invisible hand been driving this civilization to try getting along with the nature harmoniously more.
There were electronic fences on each planet, which would segment a lot of areas on the field outside of the city and would protect those wild animals safely. Any kind of poaching behavior, would all have the most severe punishment from the federal Management Committee. The problem was, this kind of getting along with each other couldn’t be harmonious, especially for Sheilor and Fengyu this kind of extremely like to eat meat guys— the couldn’t be eaten into mouth meat, how could it make them happy?
Although the synthesis foods had been able to achieve the very rich mouth feel and taste, but there were always those things people couldn’t erase in the instinct, which was to have the incomparable deep love for the natural ingredients.
“We must be very careful this time, we killed that buffalo half a year ago, the people of SOSBLM searched the whole black market once, that made the city didn’t have wild animal meat to sell for four days, fortunately there is no one knows that it was slaughtered by us, otherwise, I am afraid that we will be caught and put in jail for three months…” Sheilor followed uncle to walk toward the direction of the electronic fence cautiously, and he warmed with his heart still fluttering with fear.
“If SOSBLM is really so impartial and incorruptible… Cough, cough…” The repair shop boss coughed and said in sarcasm, he threw the cigarette butt underfoot and stepped it extinguished, then he said, “Then where those rabbit meat and lamb meat on the black market of the Bell Tower Street come from?”
“But what we killed is… the buffalo.” Sheilor still had the fear after the event, “There are several years no one dare to sell that thing.”
“We are not selling to the black market.” Fengyu waved his hand, he said resolutely and decisively, “Even if the SOSBLM caught us two, at most they would give us the suspended sentence.”
The full name of the SOSBLM was State Ocean and Space Bureau of Land Management, the name looked very terrible, but it was actually the special agency established by the federal government according to the wild life protection law, the authority was not small indeed.

Across the electronic fence, looking at those at ease buffalo herd over the other side, the two men stopped their steps. The buffalos were not afraid of the human over the other side of the fence, when they were taking a walk, they often could see these poor bipeds shut in the fence, but they hadn’t had the intimate contact for many years. But today the head of the buffalo herd could feel the hostility which was sent out by the two humans over the other side, he lifted up his huge bull head vigilantly and arrogantly, the irritable meaning in its eyes was getting stronger and stronger.
Sheilor was still having some worries, but when he saw the provocative appearance of this buffalo at this time, he couldn’t help getting out his anger as well. He thought in his mind that he just only want to eat its meat, did it need to despise him like that?
Only heard “Moo, Moo” several sounds, Fengyu learnt the buffalo voice to roar several times over the other side of the electronic fence in his mouth, the head of the buffalo herd was angered immediately, it dashed over at the electronic fence, then Fengyu ran at full speed along the fence with Sheilor, they kept leading this head of buffalo to a small hillside which was far away from the mine.
Sheilor ran out of breath, he had the admire to the extreme for the front that somewhat hulking figure. He thought that his boss was really a wonderful people, he even could provoke the buffalo incredibly, no wonder when he just knew him, he was often angered to not feel like eating.

Just right under that hillside, Fengyu spitted out two saliva, he stood akimbo over this side of the electronic fence and looked at the already worn out buffalo over the other side. He stared at the other side that digging ground cow hoofs and that two sharp bull horns, he said in pant, “Don’t be afraid, these buffalos were in captivity hundreds of thousands of years, they have already learnt the essence of the life, they don’t dare come to bump against this fence.”
Sheilor held the fence and nodded his head faintly and weakly, the electronic fences on the planets were all made with the heterogeneous steels, there were the management system chips configured inside, once the load-carrying capability was overweight, it will be activated and popping out the current automatically. It didn’t know how many years had passed by, the electronic fence didn’t fear the expose to the wind and the rain, it didn’t have any trace of rust and been collided, you can image its strong degree.
“The old rule, you go kill the buffalo, I will be on the lookout.” Uncle Fengyu gave the order in the nature of things.
“Uh…” Sheilor had already resigned himself to the fate, he walked down to the electronic fence with the tail between the legs, he touched the chip in the back of his neck subconsciously, he thought whether the electronic monitoring network here would pay attention to the small jump of a signal.
After all, he had already climbed over the electronic fence three times, so Sheilor didn’t have the worry like the most of the criminals, he had a deep breath and spitted two saliva on his palms, he became a monkey momentary, with matchless fast speed and extremely flexible gentle technique, climbed over the fence.

“Not bad.” Fengyu sat on the hillside and smiled to watch this scene, he turned over in his mind that if the official in charge for the recruitment test of the Ministry of National Defense was not a blind man, he could certainly see the strength of this youngster.
And if let the people of the federal society, to know that someone could pass through this electronic fence which was called cry-wall by the black marketers directly without any electron decode, it would be afraid that they would be shocked to speechless. The federal electronic surveillances were everywhere, but why this youngster obviously crossed the boundary illegally, the chip in his neck didn’t send out the pulse, and the monitoring system had no response to it?
Sheilor didn’t know his this familiar jump, to the First Charter, to the federal society, would be what a destructive step. He didn’t even notice, in the hand of that military defector, the repair shop boss, there was a small instrument sending out the light blue light constantly, that covered them two people and that head of angry bull all in it.
The grassland was large, the buffalo would run of joy. Anyone once was cabined in the iron cage, he would feel angry.
Or rather to say, when it felt someone want to be harmful to itself, it would also feel angry. When Sheilor stepped both feet on the grassland gently, that head of angry dark brown bull dashed over at him with a rush, the long hair around the neck floated in the air to form the particularly heroic and vigor line!
Sheilor had some fears in his heart, his face turned a bit pale, but he was still staying calm, just when the sharp horns of the bull were a
bout one meter away from him, his left ankle had a twist, his whole person fell down towards the left side, at the same time his right hand pointed at the bull that bulky body.
With “Zee” the flourish sound, the blue arc flashed, the bull had no way to resist the inertia. When it was brushing past by Sheilor that moment, it was hit by that small and exquisite but powerful military shock stick directly.
With “Bang” the sound, the bull fell on the meadow, stirred up some dust and grass clippings. Sheilor walked towards it, he didn’t have any excitement on his face, but only the vigilance.
