Guardian:
像这样的实验室整个龙城有成百上千家, there are innumerable houses throughout Dragon City just like this lab
可历史往往都是成王败寇，胜者为王, but history is written by the winners and the winner takes all
地星千万年来已是约定俗成, over millions of years this custom has become law in Dixing
[no 警察, surprisingly enough]

Me:
我们问题有的是，现在是成百上千的。
这样的情况，警察没有用，别报警了。

Ooooh I love 成王败寇 it's so interesting how many languages/cultures have an idiom for that!

[nnozomi]

Yes! It's clearly a universal sentiment (and Chinese, as always, expresses it so efficiently...).
