Uncle Jim's expression changed when he heard that.
He had come into contact with these citizens in the past and knew what kind of status the abandoned people had in their eyes. He also knew what kind of miserable ending would be awaiting him if he angered them.
To the citizens, there was no punishment for killing an abandoned person. In most cases, they just had to return to the floating city to explain themselves and pay a fine.
As for the reason for the punishment, it was similar to the intentional destruction of an experimental object. It could not even be considered murder!
However, under normal circumstances, citizens rarely killed. First, very few citizens were allowed to enter the surface to avoid bringing back terrible bacteria and causing accidents. Second, even if citizens entered the surface, they rarely came into contact with abandoned people.
