SimCity from Wasteland

Chapter 42
Afterwards, the bamboo pole man ran away, and he was going to call his good friends and brothers to taste the delicious food together.

Not long after, he brought a large group of people back.

These people were really startled when they saw the soldiers with live ammunition in the camp. Then they saw the young man lying on the deck chair, with two strong soldiers standing on both sides of him, and they immediately realized This young man should be the Mayor Xia that the bamboo pole man was talking about.

Involuntarily, their movements also became cautious.

"You guys line up here, come one by one."

The bamboo pole man led a group of people to the cauldron. When he saw the shocked eyes and swallowing movements of his usual partner, he couldn't help but smile.

Then he waved to the people on the ruins, signaling them to come down.

"use this."

A soldier came over with a microphone, and the bamboo pole man understood what Xia Yuan meant.

"Cough cough."

The man with the bamboo pole coughed lightly. He had seen Xia Yuan use this thing before. It was the first time he came into contact with it, and he was really uncomfortable.

"Well, everyone, come down. Mayor Xia specially made a pot of rice today for everyone to try. It's not much, so some people may not be able to eat it. However, as long as you join the City of Hope, these foods will still be available. Yes, this is what Mayor Xia has promised us, just like the food in the pot, it is distributed to everyone, everyone should have a taste."

After saying those words, people really came out of the ruins one after another.

Their movements were so cautious that many of them stood timidly behind the line.

The bamboo man looked back at Xia Yuan, but saw that Xia Yuan was still half-closed, in a state of sleep, and he knew what he said was right, so he was greatly encouraged and continued:
"Everyone line up, come one by one, there is not much soup, but I will serve you some to taste, our Mayor Xia also said before that these foods are the most basic food in City of Hope, everyone As long as you join, there will be."

Accompanied by the voice of the bamboo pole man, more and more people came down from the ruins and joined the team.

Seeing that there were more people around, the soldiers all cast their gazes over.

Perhaps because of the gazes of these soldiers, the entire camp was quiet, even the queues were orderly, and no one jumped in line.

The man with a bamboo pole held a spoon, each of them filled a small spoon with a small piece of meat, but when serving his friends and brothers, he filled some extra broth, and the meat was still one piece.No matter how they winked, the bamboo pole man remained unmoved.

He did not forget to say: "There's not much meat. Everyone gets a small piece. You can only line up once. I hope you don't get more. I won't be responsible for anything that happens. Besides, I'm just letting everyone have a taste." , there is so much food in the City of Hope, everyone will be full when they go there.”

"Uncle, can you really eat these things if you join City of Hope?"

A little girl with a deformed face came forward and asked with a dirty bowl with only half of it left. There was still broth in the bowl and a small piece of meat floating on the broth.

The bamboo pole man nodded: "Yes, as long as you join City of Hope, you will have these foods. Our Mayor Xia keeps his word."

As if she was confirmed, a smile appeared on the little girl's face. She glanced at Xia Yuan who was lying on the recliner, and timidly walked to Xia Yuan, but was blocked by two soldiers.

Holding the bowl, the little girl looked at the two tall soldiers in front of her with some fear, and still said, "Thank you uncle."

The mother who had just finished queuing was shocked when she saw this scene, and hurried over to hug the little girl, apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she didn't mean it."

Xia Yuan still half-squinted his eyes and said casually: "It doesn't matter. If you want your daughter to live a better life and even have the contaminated diseases treated, you might as well join the City of Hope. The City of Hope has not yet To develop a medical field, but one day in the future, a medical field will be developed in the city and the deformities in your body will be cured.”

He said these words not only to the girl's mother, but also to the humans on the ruins.

The girl's mother hurriedly said, "Thank you, we are already planning to join the City of Hope. I believe that if we join the City of Hope, we will be happy."

After finishing speaking, the girl's mother looked at Xia Yuan, saw that he didn't say anything, and hurriedly pulled the girl away.

A pot of broth is actually not much, and there are still many people behind who have not got it, so many people are sullen.

Seeing this, the bamboo pole man quickly used the loudspeaker to comfort them, promising to join the City of Hope and arrange a sumptuous meal for them.

This is Xia Yuan's meaning. If you want to keep these people, the most important thing is food. The population will be accumulated in the early stage, and the police station in the city will watch, so there will be no surprises.

Moreover, guns are banned in the city, and anyone who enters the city will be searched.

Now that one day has passed, three hundred new soldiers have been added to the gathering place, and two barracks train two hundred soldiers every day. This is because he has spent nearly a thousand green coins, and the training units of the general camp are full, and one barracks The daily training limit is one hundred.

Basic training at a military base costs [-]. Of course, the cost of green banknotes is also outrageous.

In addition, the population growth has increased to more than 300, and there are so many refugees in the gathering place who can't help but come here to have a look. Anyway, they are all far away from the No. [-] ruins, and there is no danger during the day. After the army cleared it, they turned over the mountain to have a look.

But when he reached the top of the mountain, he was stopped by soldiers stationed on the mountain and brought into the city. Once he entered the city, he didn't want to go out again.

So the news about City of Hope is still the same, false and true, no one knows whether it is true or not, after all, none of the people who went there came back, and neither did the people who went to have a look.

Some people think that it was an accident, and some people think that life there is real.

There is no clear news on this.

It's just that Xia Yuan is busy collecting treasure chests and looking for talents during this period, and coupled with the mutiny in the gathering place, Xia Yuan is even less anxious about the gathering place's countermeasures for a while.

Since there will be a mutiny, then just sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman. It is not worth wasting so much effort to start a war.

In addition to the more than 4000 people in the ruins, it is absolutely no problem to bring back all of them, but one or two thousand.

At that time, the urgent need can be solved.

Xia Yuan was even less anxious, determined to keep his feet on the ground and take it step by step.

Here, the matter of handing out the broth is over.

There wasn't much to do in the afternoon, so Xia Yuan asked the bamboo pole man to make some small tickets to distribute to those who didn't get the broth, so they can come again tonight.

As for the food that has been eaten, there is no small ticket distributed.

The food he brought this time is not bad enough. He has already asked Xia Yi to go to Rongcheng to check. If the situation is true and the location of the talent rescue mission is really in Rongcheng, then he will go back home tomorrow, and the rescue of talents will have to wait until the gathering place He will concentrate on dealing with Rongcheng after the matter is over.

He has now confirmed with a high probability that the talent rescue mission is in Rongcheng.
