Chapter 1084 The military camp is relocated, a wanderer who wants to make meritorious deeds!
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 training recruits from running back to the village to have their teeth sacrificed, 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 is 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 train soldiers to fight in complex terrain and improve their combat experience.
At critical moments, you 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 pain and continued to choose to expand to the coastline.
Now, although Somo has not disappeared, there is no way to expand the territory or change the local terrain in a short period of time.
It makes no sense.
After all, the biggest enemies right now 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 is far away from the prosperous Hope Village, but the distance to the warning wall and the distance to the Bone Village is actually close.
By this time, it was almost late at night.
Under the illumination of eight high-power searchlights, hundreds of people were still busy building the camp after half an afternoon.
When you get closer, you'll be a little surprised.
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 Barren 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, he was also 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 prisoner period and successfully obtained his first temporary citizen ID card.
Of course, they are only temporary citizens who have the qualification to temporarily stay in Tianyuan territory.
In Desolate Bone Village, temporary citizens 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, and it can even be regarded as common sense.
But for the homeless.
In the past, when they rummaged through garbage dumps in the city for food, most of the time they could only get 30% full.
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 is also afraid that these homeless people will be too full and will not be willing to continue working or make trouble.
The wanderer is also worried that if he continues to beg, the gopher man will send soldiers to suppress it.
But with this kind of treatment, there are still a lot of homeless people who cannot 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 lose 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 was at 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, you are in good shape, aren't you?"
"Hahaha, it's good to eat more in that new city." Xia Zuo's face showed an energetic expression, and he patted the wooden stake: "Have you heard, the military camp built here is. What do you think they are behind?
Will you call us to join?”
"?"
Ram was stunned: "Say goodbye, I don't want to go to the battlefield and sacrifice my life for others."
But before he finished speaking, he quickly shook his head.
It's just that this time he didn't say anything, and his lips moved twice, and the meaning was self-evident.
Compared with the treatment given to them in Qinggang New City, the Barren Bone Village now truly treats them as human beings.
If an enemy comes to defend this place, Ram believes that he will definitely rush forward with weapons in hand without hesitation.
But then again.
If he was really good enough to go on the battlefield, he wouldn't be reduced to being a prisoner here.
"Then you are willing to live with this temporary identity card?"
Xia Zuo asked cautiously in a low voice.
"?"
Seeing the suspicion on Ram's face, Xia Zuo quickly explained with a smile: "What I mean is that if you want to obtain a real identity certificate, you either have to live and work in the village for two years, or you have to perform meritorious services."
"If those of us who obtained temporary certificates first don't work harder, those who are still labeled as prisoners will make meritorious services."
captive?
Meritorious service?
Ram frowned, this was a direction he didn't expect.
If they can obtain formal citizen status, they can receive normal wages for their work and can also open independent factories.
Yes.
Now they are employed in a construction factory run by a lucky villager in Barren Bone Village.
It’s unclear how much the territory will pay the factory director, but it must be a “huge amount” that they dare not even imagine.
"How can we perform meritorious service? Even if the army allows us to join, we won't be able to perform meritorious service in a short period of time, right?"
"What's more, neither you nor I are meant to go to the battlefield. If there is a deserter 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 perform meritorious service, but they were probably dreaming.
"No, listen to me, what I mean is"
Leaning sideways to Ram's ear, Xia Zuo whispered a few words quickly, shocking the latter's face to change.
"You're crazy. That's Qinggang Shelter. Don't tell me you're going back to bring people here. How can you come out if you really go back?"
"If there's anything we can't get out of, don't say you don't know. As long as we give you something, the guards there will let us come in and out as they please."
Xia Zuo said nonchalantly.
If they want to make meritorious deeds, how can they make meritorious deeds with their status and strength as wanderers?
The only advantage I can say is that I have joined the Clear Harbor Sanctuary and served as a Clear Harbor soldier 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 and that no one was planting large tracts of land. We could only watch. It was a pity."
"You said, if we can go back to the new city and bring more homeless people over, wouldn't it be considered a meritorious service?"
"Bring more people?" Ram had a headache, but he was also moved: "Tell me, how many people can you bring to count as a meritorious service?"
"three hundred?"
Xia Zuo mentioned the number, and when Ram didn't speak, he quickly said: "Five hundred?"
"Five hundred people is not a small number. The guards will not agree with so many people leaving the city."
"I won't agree."
Xia Zuo nodded.
It's not a problem to bribe the guards and occasionally go out to explore outside the city wall.
Even if there are more people and there is a reasonable excuse, the guards will turn a blind eye and let them out.
But five hundred people is a bit outrageous.
If the person let out on the first day does not come back by night, the guards will never let him out on the second day.
Although they want to earn some supplies, they don't have the guts to risk their lives to earn it.
As long as they are discovered by Commander Edmund, everyone will probably be pulled out and shot.
"So I have a way, but I need you." Looking at Ram, Xia Zuo emphasized his tone: "I need your friend, yes, it's Osment. I need him to cooperate with me!"
"Osmond!?"
"Yes, he was once a plunderer, and he also participated in the invasion of Clear Harbor Sanctuary. If we want to make a contribution, 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 any meritorious service."
"No, even if they are formally adopted as citizens, they will still want to make meritorious deeds!"
Xia Zuo interrupted loudly, mouthing to the worker who was still working next to him.
"Don't say you haven't noticed that the rich and poor have become divided in the village just now. Look, those factory owners not only have a small house of their own, but also a large piece of land and endless food. Even
They still have money to hire workers and even servants to make money for themselves."
"Why, just because they were lucky enough to join our Tianyuan Territory Institute first?"
"If we don't work hard now, their wealth will accumulate more and more, and the gap between them and us will become wider and wider, and they will not be able to catch up later."
As a wanderer who likes reading, Xia Zuo's hobby was always a joke among wanderers.
But recently, I have been hired by illiterate factory owners in the village several times and drafted work projects and regulations.
He suddenly discovered that these factory owners seemed to have no other advantages besides being lucky?
There is no culture, no vision, and even no structure.
Understanding their past, they were just wanderers who were also scrounging for food in the city, or even eliminated by being driven to the periphery.
"Osmond will not give in. He is much more capable than those factory owners!"
"As long as he performs meritorious service, he will be able to wash away the influence of his previous identity and receive rewards from the administrator."
"The village lacks manpower for planting. Doesn't Osmond want to expand the size of the security team?"
Ram's eyes widened when he heard the rough temptation.
As the saying goes, "Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind", in a sense, Xia Zuo is right.
Osmond and Huang Xiong were at odds with each other before, but they later cleared up their feud and Huang Xionghai gave Osmond the identity of the security captain.
But as of now, the only people under him are those who are under the command of the plunderers.
More than once, messages have been circulated that Huang Xiong wants to follow the example of Chen Shen, the mayor of Hope Village, and establish a new organization besides the security team.
Roughly similar to the "Tian Yuan Army", as the village's violent organization, it is responsible for sharing the defensive pressure on the territory from outsiders during wartime.
This matter basically has nothing to do with Osmond, and it is foreseeable that once established, his security force will become a joke.
If the enemies outside can't get in, will there really be security incidents in the village?
They are all old wanderers. Who would not cherish their current life? Their hard life has dulled their character.
There have only been three disputes in the entire Barren Bone Village in the past few months.
Two of these cases were solved by the villagers themselves before the security team arrived.
The third case was a land dispute. Osmond, the security captain, could not get a word in, and the dispute was finally resolved by Huang Xiong.
"Then you have to tell me your plan first. I have to make sure it's feasible before I can take you to Osmunda."
After thinking about the rewards after success, Ram was moved.
As for whether the homeless people from Qinggang New City would come, he didn't even think about it.
As long as these guys know how they are treated in the village, anyone in their right mind will go crazy.
"No problem, this is the plan."
Seeing Ram agreeing, Xia Zuo was immediately overjoyed, and the two quickly got together to talk furtively.
During this period, Ram made a sound of surprise from time to time, and was even startled sometimes.
But at the end of the conversation, his face lit up and he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Okay, after we finish this, we'll go find Osmond right away!"
"Okay, see you later!"
Nodding, Xia Zuo disappeared into the crowd of workers with a happy face.
As a lord, Sumo was naturally unaware of the fact that these captive wanderers were still plotting to bring back more people.
And it's poaching from the Western Suburban League's biggest rival.
But tonight, there are indeed new people joining the territory.
A "heavyweight" newcomer who in some sense can change the future of the territory!
"Huh? Have you come out of the shelter? Okay, let's send her to the territory as soon as possible by airship. Don't let anyone discover her."
"By the way, the person who arranges the kitchen to cook some food is our future treasure!"
