Chapter 1084: Military Camp Relocation, Wanderers Who Want to Make Merit!
For a soldier, it is absolutely a happy thing to be able to return to the profession he is most familiar with.
Eighty kilometers south and east of Hope Village.
In order to prevent the new recruits from training from running back to the village to have a tooth ceremony, a new military camp was temporarily set up here.
The reason why it is temporary is because the terrain of the entire Tianyuan territory is simply too flat.
Not to mention the complicated hills and swamps, there was not even a decent big pit to be found.
An important military location like a military camp is naturally built on the basis of natural dangers.
It can be used as a training ground on weekdays to challenge soldiers in complex terrain and enhance combat experience.
At critical moments, they can also rely on natural defense to achieve the miracle of defeating more with less.
In the ruins of the future.
The first alien war in the Tianyuan Territory was due to the terrain, which resulted in the territory being attacked by alien races from all directions.
Since then, Chen Shen has learned from the experience and continued to choose to expand to the coastline.
Now, although Somo has not disappeared, he cannot continue to expand the territory or change the local terrain in a short period of time.
no point.
After all, the biggest enemies at present are still the gopher guys in Qinggang City.
Building a mountain under the opponent's nose is too eye-catching, and it might even have a counterproductive effect.
And if the military camp is stationed far away from the city, it will be difficult to provide quick support in the event of a battle.
After making a choice, the location of the military camp was set up here.
It was far away from the prosperous Hope Village, but the distance to the warning wall and the distance to the Bone Village was actually closer.
At this time, it was almost late at night.
Under the illumination of eight high-power searchlights, the camp that had been built for half an afternoon was still busy with hundreds of people.
When you get closer, it's a bit surprising.
These busy people are not the construction team from the village, nor are they Tianyuan Army soldiers.
Instead, it was the residents of the nearby Bone Village and some unlucky wanderers who had been captured before.
Counting the days, it has been a while since I came to live in the Barren Bone Village from the sewers of Qinggang City.
What changes over time is not only this ever-changing village, but also the people who are tolerated and accepted by the village.
"Hey, a brother, come here and help me, this wooden stake is too heavy!"
In front of a huge wooden stake that was as tall as a person and as thick as a bucket, Ram wiped the sweat from his head and yelled not far away.
Because he knew Osmond, and he was the first legionnaire to hand over information honestly.
Ram has been very lucky recently.
Under the careful care of the village chief Huangxiong, it took him less than a month to end his period of captivity and successfully obtained his first temporary citizen ID card.
Of course, they are only temporary citizens who have the qualifications to temporarily stay in Tianyuan territory.
In Desolate Bone Village, temporary residents are not eligible for task rewards, and they do not receive a single iron coin for their work.
If you choose to work seriously, in addition to three meals a day, you will be provided with regular and quantitative supplies, and at most, you will be given some ordinary daily necessities.
But this is already a wanderer’s dream life!
Work, exchange, reward.
It sounds like a very logical thing, even common sense.
But for the homeless.
In the past, they could only eat 30% of their food by rummaging through garbage dumps in the city.
Even if there are gophers who hire them to work, they will eventually use various excuses to deduct the promised remuneration.
There is no way to protect my rights and no place to protect my rights.
The Gopher Man was also afraid that these homeless people would be too full and would be unwilling to continue working or causing trouble.
The Wanderer is also worried that if he continues to beg, the Gopher Man will send soldiers to suppress it.
But with this treatment, there are still a lot of homeless people who can't participate and can only accompany them silently.
But what now?
Ram was already drooling as he spoke.
He knew very well that as long as all the materials were transported and the land of the camp was leveled.
The canteens in the village will open their doors, serving mouth-watering white flour steamed buns and fresh stir-fried vegetables.
And because it is an extra late-night snack, the canteen will be open for them to eat, as long as they don't waste it, they can eat as much as they want.
And this is precisely why working on the construction site is so tiring, and I almost lost my head when making the announcement.
"Okay, brother, wait for me, I'll help right away!"
'Xia Zuo', who was still carrying the wooden plank, raised his head and responded, and his smile became even wider when he saw it was Ram.
As the unlucky guy who was also captured.
These people were captured during the invasion and were made prisoners from the beginning.
He was arrested in the Pumpkin Bunker and was later deported here. Fortunately, he was able to obtain a temporary ID card.
At first, Xia Zuo was a little disapproving, but after learning the specific inside story and what happened to these "comrades" in the past, he would lose sleep every night, worrying that his identity certificate would be taken away.
Fortunately, the city seems to have become more chaotic recently, and the manager who brought them back has no time to deal with it.
In order to preserve his identity, Xia Zuo rushes to the forefront of almost every job.
"Come on, try harder."
"One two one"
With help from others, the two of them struggled to lift the wooden pile into the dug hole, panting from exhaustion.
But when he raised his head, he could see the smile in the other person's eyes.
"Brother, are you in good shape?"
"Hahaha, fortunately I ate more in the new city. Xia Zuo's face was full of enthusiasm, and he patted the wooden stake: "Have you heard that this is a military camp. Do you think they will call us to join later?"
"?"
Ram was stunned: "Forget it, I don't want to fight for others on the battlefield again."
But before he finished speaking, he shook his head again.
This time he didn't say anything, but the meaning of his lips moving twice was self-evident.
Compared with the treatment given to them by Qinggang New City, the current Huanggu Village is regarded as truly treating them as human beings.
If the enemy came to defend this place, Ram believed that he would definitely rush up with weapons without hesitation.
But then again.
If he was really capable of going to the battlefield, he would not end up here as a prisoner.
"Then are you willing to live with this temporary identity certificate?"
Xia Zuo asked cautiously in a low voice.
"? "
Seeing the suspicion on Ram's face, Xia Zuo hurriedly explained with a smile: "What I mean is that if you want to get a real identity certificate, you must either live and work in the village for two years, or you must have meritorious service."
"If those of us who have obtained temporary certificates first don't work harder, those who are still prisoners might make meritorious service..."
Prisoners?
Meritual service?
Ram frowned, this was a direction he had not expected.
If they can obtain formal status as subjects, they can get regular work remuneration and open independent factories.
Yes.
Now they are employed by a construction factory opened by a lucky villager in Huanggu Village.
It is not clear how much money the territory will pay the factory director, but it must be a "huge sum" that they dare not think about.
"How can we make meritorious service? Even if the army allows us to join, it is impossible to make meritorious service in a short period of time, right?"
"What's more, you and I are not the material for the battlefield. If there is a desertion incident, I don't want my current life to be ruined. "
Not sure why Xia Zuo was captured, Ram subconsciously regarded him as a defeated element on the battlefield.
The two deserters wanted to make merit, but they were probably dreaming.
"No, listen to me, what I mean is..."
Lamb leaned over to his ear and whispered a few words quickly, which shocked the latter's face.
"Are you crazy? That's the Qinggang Shelter. Don't even think about going back to bring people here. Can you really get out if you go back?"
"What can't be gotten out? Don't say you don't know. As long as we give them something, the guards there will let us go in and out as we please. "
Xia Zuo said nonchalantly.
If they want to make merit, how can they make merit with their identity and strength as wanderers?
The only advantage they can say is that they once joined the Qinggang Shelter and served as Qinggang soldiers for a period of time.
"The day before yesterday, when I passed by the village chief's office, he sighed and said that the village was short of people. Large tracts of land had no one to plant, and they could only watch. It was such a pity."
"You said, if we can bring more wanderers back to the new city, wouldn't it be considered a merit?"
"Bring more?" Ram had a headache, but was a little tempted: "Tell me, how many people do you need to bring to be considered a merit?"
"Three hundred?"
Xia Zuo mentioned a number, and when he saw Ram didn't speak, he hurriedly said: "Five hundred?"
"Five hundred people is not a small number. The guards will not agree to so many people leaving the city."
"I won't agree. "
Xia Zuo nodded.
Bribing the guards, and occasionally sending three or two people outside the city wall to explore the situation is not a problem.
Even if there are more people and there is a reasonable reason, the guards will turn a blind eye and let them go.
But 500 people is a bit outrageous.
If the people released on the first day do not come back at night, the guards will definitely not let them go on the second day.
Although they want to earn some supplies, they don't have the courage to earn them with their lives.
As long as they are discovered by Commander Edmund, everyone will probably be taken out and shot.
"So I have a way, but I need you." Looking at Ram, Xia Zuo emphasized: "I need your friend, yes, Osmond, I need him to cooperate with me!"
"Osmond! ?"
"Yes, he used to be a plunderer and participated in the invasion of the Qinggang Sanctuary. If we want to make merit, we must have his participation. This is an important part of my plan."
Ram was stunned: "But he has a formal identity certificate, so he doesn't need to make merit"
"No, even if they are formal subjects, they will want to make merit! "
Xia Zuo interrupted and nodded at the worker who was still working next to him.
"Don't say you didn't notice. It's only been a short time since the village has become rich and poor. Look, those factory owners not only have their own small houses, but also large plots of land, more food than they can eat, and they even have money to hire workers and servants to make money for themselves."
"Why? Just because they are a little luckier, they joined our Tianyuan Territory first?"
"If we don't work hard now, their wealth will accumulate more and more, and the gap with us will become bigger and bigger, and we will not be able to catch up later."
As a wanderer who likes to read, Xia Zuo's hobby used to be a joke among wanderers.
But after being hired by those illiterate factory owners in the village several times recently and drafting work projects and rules and regulations.
He suddenly realized that these factory owners seemed to have no other advantages except for being a little luckier?
No culture, no vision, and even no pattern.
Knowing their past, they were just wanderers who were also digging for food in the city, or even eliminated people who were driven to the periphery.
"Osmond will not be willing to accept this, he is much more capable than those factory owners!"
"As long as he makes contributions, he can wash away the influence of his previous identity and get rewards from the manager."
"The village is short of manpower for planting, doesn't Osmond want to expand the scale of the security team?"
Rough temptation, Ram's eyes were wide open.
As the saying goes, "Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species?" In a sense, what Xia Zuo said is really right.
Osmond and Huang Xiong were against each other before, although they later reconciled and Huang Xionghai gave Osmond the identity of the security captain.
But as of now, the people under his command are still only those predators.
There have been more than one message that Huang Xiong wants to learn from Chen Shen, the village chief of Hope Village, to establish a new organization outside the security team.
It is roughly similar to the "Tianyuan Army". As a violent organization in the village, it is responsible for sharing the defense pressure of the territory against foreign forces during wartime.
This matter has basically nothing to do with Osmond, and it can be foreseen that once it is established, his security team will become a joke.
The enemies outside can't get in, so will there really be a security incident in the village?
They are all old wanderers, who would not cherish the current life? The hard life has worn down their temperament.
There have been only three disputes in the entire Huanggu Village in the past few months.
Two of them were solved by the villagers themselves before the security team arrived.
The third was a land dispute. Osmond, the security captain, couldn't get a word in, and it was finally resolved by Huangxiong.
"Then you have to tell me the plan first. I have to make sure it is feasible before I can take you to Osmond."
Thinking about the gains after success, Ram was moved.
As for whether the wanderers in Qinggang New City would come, he didn't consider it at all.
As long as these guys know the treatment in the village, any normal person will go crazy.
"No problem, this is the plan"
Seeing Ram agreed, Xia Zuo was overjoyed, and the two of them quickly got together and talked furtively.
During the conversation, Ram was surprised from time to time, and sometimes he was even startled.
But at the end, his face was flushed, and he nodded without hesitation to agree.
"Okay, after we finish this, we will go to find Osmond immediately!"
"Okay, see you later!"
Nodding, Xia Zuo disappeared in the group of workers with a happy look.
As a lord, Su Mo naturally didn't know that these captive wanderers were still plotting to bring more people back.
And they were poaching from the biggest rival of the Western Suburbs Alliance.
But tonight, there are indeed new people joining the territory.
A "heavyweight" newcomer who can change the future of the territory in some sense!
"Hmm? Has she come out of the shelter? Well, send her to the territory as soon as possible by airship, and don't let anyone find out."
"By the way, the one who arranged the kitchen to cook something is our future baby!"
