Chapter 409 The Battle of the Undead, the "Kingdom of God" of Shadow City Immigrants

"Comrade Stan, what you are facing now is Asuna, the Chief Civil Affairs and Security Commissioner." The girl slapped Stan's hand on his waist, raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "It's not your Asuna!"

Stan said with a bitter face: "I thought you came to greet me, but you haven't got off work yet?"

Then he straightened his face: "Yes, Comrade Asuna!"

The night was dark, and in the northwest of Beta City, in the area where the "immigrant study class" was originally located, a large warehouse-style building was still brightly lit.

Stan accompanied Asuna, driving on the avenue connecting all the buildings in a carriage.The noisy human voice came from the building, even surpassing the movement in the adventurer's area.

"The immigrants from Shadow City don't get used to it very much during the day, and they are listless. At night, they are very energetic." Stan sighed: "The manpower problem you mentioned is also very prominent here. The number of immigrants has exceeded six." Wan, the camps here are almost overwhelmed, and the immigration area to the west must continue to expand."

"The infrastructure construction group is busy with military facilities, so they can only mobilize the citizens of BeiTC to issue city construction tasks to adventurers, and a lot of people have to be arranged to manage that. The camp here has more than 3000 people in each barracks, only a few dozen Members take care of all the expenses, and the specific affairs are all up to the citizens, so they can't spare energy to develop the organization."

"The method of selecting people from among the management objects to assist in management does not work well for the immigrants from Shadow City. They come from one place and know each other very well. Not only will it not have a positive effect, but it will also cause more conflicts."

The barracks here are similar to farm buildings, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, with one basement and three floors above ground, similar to the layout of a military barracks or even a prison, each of which can accommodate 4000 to [-] people.

Asuna listened to the voices of people in the barracks for a while, and praised: "The immigrants are very happy, you have done a good job."

Stan chuckled and said, "I'm just strictly implementing the decision made by the immigration work conference. This is the credit of the chief cardinal and everyone."

After Li Qi returned from the Storm Islands, he took the immigration affairs as a crucial matter. He held more than a dozen large and small meetings, and drew up very detailed management methods.

In line with the purpose of transforming the immigrants from Shadow City into the people of the Fei Gong, they will receive a stricter education than the original slaves and must stay in a temporary camp for a month.

Introduce the situation of the mainland, the current situation of the Shenyun Plateau, and learn the necessary language and characters.On this basis, learn more about the "Crimson Law" implemented by Fei Gong on the Shenyun Plateau, understand Fei Gong's arrangements and expectations for them, and what kind of life they will live in the future, all of which run through the ideological education of "Five Stresses and Four Beauties" .

All the immigrants here were broken up from their original connections, their previous identity labels in the Shadow City were erased, and even their families were torn apart.Except for children under the age of six who are accompanied by their mothers and placed in special areas, everyone else is divided into groups according to age and gender, and live a collective life of 20 people sharing a room.

Stan sighed again: "It's a pity that the war disrupted many plans. We had to allow the immigrants to receive education while also contributing to the war. This made the mental state of the immigrants unstable. Now they are generally stable, thanks to There is no need to worry about food and clothing, and there is also the propaganda work presided over by Cardinal Aurora."

"In conclusion, it's the yearning for the future life." Asuna nodded and said, "If the war is tense and the pressure is passed on to them, there won't be so many laughs."

"If you talk about pressure, there is already a lot of it. Asuna, what you said is another new pressure." Stan said: "The legion committee and the infrastructure group have drawn a lot of immigrants. The Committee has also handed over a lot of production work to immigrants. Including personal assistants, they are now hand-made by immigrants, and many immigrants will still be busy in small factories in the basement.”

Asuna came to a sudden: "No wonder Artur suggested that I come to you, it turns out that he has already done so."

Stan said: "It's just doing some manual work, not going to the battlefield, and the pressure on them is limited. Many people are still very welcome, but they still worry about not being able to earn red coins. After finishing their education, they will not be able to live the life they want. Good day."

Then he was a little worried: "Soldiers and citizens are earning contribution points, adventurers are earning adventure points, and the red coins earned by immigrants are bound to adventure points. Both points have swelled to tens of millions. When this war is over , it will definitely exceed [-] million, how will I fill this big hole by then."

"This is a headache for the chief cardinal and the development and planning committee," Asuna comforted, "and as long as we can win this war, everything will be fine."

"That's right, I'm showing signs of pessimism," Stan said excitedly, "Then, Commissioner Asuna, let's go to the Immigrant Service Center and arrange your affairs."

The carriage drove to the barracks at the end of the avenue. Even though it was night, it was still very busy there.The citizens are busy all night, preparing food, clothing and daily necessities for the immigrants, and treating the sick.At the same time, through the images sent back by the cameras, the movement of each barracks is vigilantly monitored.

Outside the service center, many people are also busy.Check the barracks buildings, fluorite lamps, roads, wells, or inspect the security. These civilian soldiers transferred from Hadrang and the Redstone Kingdom are also part of this camp.

………………

NO.13 On the third floor of the immigrant barracks, hundreds of people sat on the benches in the lobby, watching the changing brilliance of the phantom screen on the wall intently, exclaiming or cheering from time to time.

A middle-aged man stepped into the hall briskly, and saw that his favorite seat was taken by someone, and he was the one he disliked the most, so he kicked the leg of the stool in a suppressed anger: "This is my seat, Didn't you see the sticker?"

The skinny young man turned his head and said with a sneer, "Is the sticker on it yours? Is this still Shadow City? Genil...captain?"

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Hassan, did you come here on purpose to find fault?"

The young man named Hassan also had anger in his eyes: "If you stole everyone's red coins and planted them on me, wouldn't you be finding fault?"

"Who made a small report to the counselor, saying that I was connecting with people and preparing to sabotage?"

"Isn't it? I didn't succeed in becoming a counselor assistant, and I wanted to drag people into self-government. Isn't this breaking the camp rules?"

"Among us, who is born to destroy?"

"This is not Shadow City, don't try to ride on my head again!"

The two quarreled as usual, and the person next to him was angry: "Quiet!"

There was a sound of exclamation, and the two snorted at the same time, then turned their heads to look at the screen, and took a breath at the same time.

On the screen, a huge and suffocating bug broke through the ground, opened its mouth and screamed.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely solemn, and someone muttered, "There is such a terrifying monster in this place..."

Numerous fireballs and streams of light enveloped the worm, and the worm's head was hit by dense bullets, its juice exploded, its carapace collapsed, and people cheered loudly.

Seeing mirages is the favorite pastime of the immigrants, and most people spend their spare time on it after classes, labor, eating and sleeping.

The Crimson News Agency's Fein news broadcast, travel experience on the Shenyun Plateau, and various programs produced by the well-known "Phantom Guest" are broadcast all day long from morning to night.There will even be some fantasy dramas in the middle of the night. In addition to the classic ones, there are many new programs.

For example, the recently aired series "God's Meteor Plateau Suppression of Bandits" is very popular with everyone.For the immigrants who have lived in the Shadow City all their lives, seeing such evil existences as Liches, Apothecaries, Arcanists, Bloody Killers, and even Illithids, hiding in the XZ under the power of justice, and looking extremely embarrassed Da satisfies their thirst for justice and the light of goodness.

Of course, everyone’s favorite thing to watch is the news broadcast. After all, this is their new home. Immigrants don’t want to miss everything that happens on this land, whether it’s good or bad, and the Crimson News Agency’s broadcast far exceeds their needs.

The "tide of the undead" is happening here, and they can see the latest battle situation.The new home that Beta City built for them is also broadcasting the progress every day.Various laws and regulations related to them also let them know what things they should not do when they are looking forward to a new life.

Just watching the beautiful announcer explain with a sweet voice is a great enjoyment for many people.Among them, the red-clothed and red-capped announcer named Xiaohong is even more loved by everyone.

The bug fell, and before people had time to savor the aftertaste of victory, the scene changed suddenly.Stan, the lord of Beta City and the chief member of the immigration committee, appeared.

There were boos in the hall, and even Jeniel and Hassan made dissatisfied voices at the same time, but no one got up to leave.Everyone knows that the city lord must have reported news related to them.

The Magic Work Committee opens up low-level magic circle technical information, and welcomes immigrants to design and manufacture magical machines that can be used in food processing and other aspects to facilitate life. The Immigration Management Committee will help everyone promote the products.

There are not many people in the hall who understand Magic Mechanics, and this news did not resonate with many people. Everyone shouted, "We want to watch the news/fantasy drama/Little Red!"

Hassan's expression became heavy, and he got up and went to the bar in the corner of the hall.

The food, clothing and various daily necessities of the immigrants are free, and they can also earn red coins through various labor projects.There is a service department on each floor of each barracks, selling beer, snacks and various gadgets to meet the needs of immigrants beyond basic life.

Hassan asked for a glass of rye beer and handed the bartender a copper coin engraved with a smiling five-pointed star. It was a "red coin" for immigrants and was only circulated in the camp.

Holding the wine glass, I went to the window in the corner of the hall, looking at the night outside the window, the mellow and rich beer flowed into the stomach from the throat, and then turned into a long low sigh.

"If you're afraid of death, just say it." Genil came over with a glass of wine, and said bitterly, "It's like someone stopped you from becoming a soldier."

Then he maliciously urged: "Are you dissatisfied with the environment here? Then run away. With your ability, you can do it casually. Don't tell me that you only stayed for free board and lodging."

The immigrant camp is not a prison. Although they cannot come and go freely, the managers often take them to visit Beta City, or go out to participate in various labors. There is no strong sense of confinement here.

For ordinary people, as long as they survive for a full month, they will have a house, a job, and a bright future.What's more, there is free board and lodging here, and the conditions in all aspects are good.Apart from having to act collectively in everything and having to listen to people nagging every day, there is nothing unbearable.

So so far, not many people have run away privately.Of course, those who tried to escape were imprisoned for the first time, and were expelled for the second time. They became homeless wanderers on the Shenyun Plateau. This fate is enough to make everyone vigilant.

Extraordinary people other than civilians are treated differently.You can choose to join the Legion or the auxiliary department and start earning contribution points directly.If he also runs away, he will become a wanted target instead, and the Fei Communist Party will suspect that he has done something bad and try to evade the trial.

Hassan was a second-level night killer, exposed when he entered the camp for identification, but the camp did not force him to make a choice, and now he is still mixed with civilians.

"People in the Black Night Society are never afraid of death," Hassan said in a low voice, "What they are afraid of is dying without knowing why."

Jeniel's expression changed slightly, and his tone softened: "It sounds like you're also suspicious of the Duke of Prell?"

Hassan said with a low smile, "Eat for free, live for free, and we will give you a house in the future. Is this the Kingdom of God?"

"Even if it is the Kingdom of God, the petitioner must contribute his faith." Genil rarely agreed with Hassan: "But the Duke didn't ask us to do anything."

Speaking of this, Hassan temporarily put aside his grievances with his old enemy: "There are rumors that the tide of undead is not simple. The Duke is fighting a undead monarch."

Jeniel has a tacit understanding with Hassan: "You suspect that the Duke regards us as future... sacrifices, and first raises us up for nothing?"

He asked curiously: "Since you think so, why don't you join the legion and go to the battlefield to find the truth?"

"I...here, there are still people to protect." Hassan lowered his eyes, and a figure flashed in his mind.

"I want to protect everyone too!"

Jeniel sighed: "But the Duke broke us up and didn't let us manage ourselves. It seems that he will be very prejudiced against Suguang, and he will keep a close eye on us people. The more we think about it, the more terrifying it is."

"It's useless to think so much, let's take one step at a time." Hassan said dejectedly: "Many people from our Black Night Club are already on the front line. When we see them occasionally, they are full of words about our team and our squadron. Speaking of shadows The city is impatient, it seems that it is a shameful thing."

Jeniel said what Hassan didn't say: "If something happens to our Shadow City people, they will probably be the most active among the suppressing soldiers."

Hassan said quietly: "Before I stepped into the portal, I thought about many possibilities. The current treatment has exceeded my best expectations, but this is what makes me even more scared."

"I don't think it's so good." Genil's face darkened: "Especially living in the same room as you."

Hassan was about to fight back when footsteps sounded, and the counselors on the third floor led the officers in red uniforms into the hall.

The counselor pointed to them and said, "Over there, Jeniel and Hassan are superhumans."

The two stared blankly at the officer approaching, and heard the other party say coldly: "Jenil and Hassan? You have been recruited by the Legion Committee, follow me to the station to report immediately!"

The two looked at each other in astonishment, and Genil swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "Master, master, I have never heard of forced recruitment."

The officer was a little impatient, but he still maintained a minimum of patience and politeness: "Since you are already residents of the Godfall Plateau and the subjects of the Duke, you have the obligation to accept the call and protect everyone. Article [-] of the "Crimson Law" Have you forgotten?"

"I didn't recruit you before because I didn't need it yet, so I only accept volunteers, and now I need it."

The full name of the "Crimson Law" is the "Fin Red Community Residents Act", and the first article has a shared obligation to provide life and security for all residents.Article [-]. All residents are obliged to accept conscripts and defend their homes.

Such clauses are superfluous for ordinary people on the mainland. The king and nobles are obliged to protect the people, and the people must support the king and nobles and accept their orders. This is a matter of course.

The people of Shadow City are not used to such "reasons". For thousands of years, they have been left to fend for themselves.

The officer looked at them with scrutiny: "You don't think Fei Gong...Duke, is supporting you like a nobleman? The duke is fighting on the front line. Since you have extraordinary power, shouldn't you do something? Some contribution?"

Hassan muttered, "I never thought about it that way..."

When they were talking, they looked at Genil, and a thought flashed in their minds at the same time: We both thought that the Duke was raising us as pigs, and would kill us when we were fattened up, but we didn’t expect to kill us now.

"Don't be so sad," the officer said angrily, "I didn't let you go to the front line, you cowards are not qualified!"

What is that for?
The two followed the officer anxiously, and the civilians in the hall watched them leave with different expressions.

The picture on the screen changed, and their attention was instantly drawn there.

""Suppression of Bandits" begins!"

"Is it time to take care of that lich today?"

"Airship! I want to see an airship!"
