Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 420 Mobilization and Infiltration

"Boom——!"

The enormous airship, a sky city, landed a hundred meters away from the shantytown.

The immense air pressure generated during the descent blew away all the snow on the ground and lifted it hundreds of meters high.

A brief blizzard suddenly swept through the surrounding area, obscuring everything and making it difficult to see clearly.

"They actually came?!"

"This is bigger than the Brotherhood's airships! My God!"

Inside the shantytown, a group of wastelanders stared in disbelief at the pre-war technological creations before them, which seemed like miracles.

After a brief moment of shock, people quickly came to their senses.

Now that Sky City has really arrived.

So, is the rumored promise made by the "Great Master" also true?
If it's true...!
Thinking of this, my heart, which had been frozen by the cold weather, suddenly began to beat warmly and violently!
No one needs to give instructions.

It's simply because people yearn for a better life.

This prompted tens of thousands of people in the shantytowns to flock to Sky City.

The number of residents outside Liumu City Mall could not possibly be only a few tens of thousands.

The only people moving around here are refugees from the shantytowns.

It is located closer to the center of Liumu City Mall, because of Liumu City's past development and positioning.

Over the past two hundred years in the wasteland, generations of wastelanders have built a ring of houses there.

Although there is no unified planning, the quality of the houses varies greatly.

However, these houses do provide some protection against the cold in the wind and snow.

There are approximately 80,000 of these wastelanders who own their own homes.

The outermost edge of the self-built houses is the shantytown that Xu Wang originally wanted to renovate.

The area is mostly inhabited by locals who are facing greater hardship, or by refugees who have fled from other places.

Approximately 40,000 people.

Of course, it is very difficult to say that the residents of the shantytowns are very poor.

In reality, the lives of those wastelanders who built their own houses weren't necessarily much better.

They live in danger just as constantly, even less so than the residents of Pancake Town.

Most of them make a living by traveling, commissioning, or scavenging.

Those who live a good life are always the small group of people who oppress others, exploit them, and bleed them dry.

to be honest.

The self-built houses and shantytowns that have been built around Liumu City are just a group of beggars who have settled outside the big restaurant.

They waited for food offered by the restaurant and for the occasional gifts of kindness from people coming in and out.

At least in this wasteland, everyone sticks together and can survive.

They went elsewhere, no longer under the protection of Rokuki Castle.

Most wastelanders here don't survive.

The wastelanders who owned their own houses had naturally heard about Mr. Big's story, unlike the shantytown refugees who had almost nothing.

Of these 80,000 people, at least half own some assets, more or less.

They haven't reached the end of their rope yet.

Therefore, I didn't have much expectation for Xu Wang's promise.

On the contrary, they were somewhat afraid of the coming change.

This could lead to the loss of any remaining possessions they have, ultimately turning them into pitiful refugees in the shantytown.

Even though their lives weren't exactly great to begin with.

The mortality rate remains high.

But they have become accustomed to this life and are only worried that the unknown future will make them worse.

Undoubtedly, these at least 40,000 wasteland residents are a major obstacle to the future construction of New Sixwood City.

Everyone in the New City Construction Office is well aware of this.

Since they still have their own houses for the time being, although they are not very good, they can at least provide some protection against the cold.

The renovation of houses on the land beneath their feet is not in such a hurry.

Thus, Xu Wang finalized the plan.

The plan was to first relocate the refugees from the outermost shantytowns into Sky City.

The shantytowns were demolished first, and the land in the shantytowns was used for construction.

While Sky City may seem large, it is ultimately a mobile research center, and its maximum capacity for residents is limited.

With 40,000 residents crammed in, it was already severely overcrowded.

When Sky City was first designed, its ideal and comfortable capacity was only 15,000 people.

Even if it was severely overloaded.

The living conditions in Sky City are much better than those in the dilapidated shacks of the refugees.

At least they can get through the winter safely instead of freezing to death in their own tin tents.

Xu Wang could understand the distrust that the wasteland dwellers, who owned self-built houses, had towards him.

Therefore, this was part of Xu Wang's plan.

Taking the lead in renovating shantytowns is also a way of proving to those who abandoned the land that he wasn't just talking the talk.

He's really here to get things done.

As long as there is solid evidence to support it.

They can see firsthand how the lives of refugees are improving, which will eventually change their mindset.

Once trust is established between the two parties, future work will be much easier.

When the demolition takes place, they will be given corresponding compensation so that they can settle down in a better new home.

This should alleviate some people's concerns.

Urban construction requires a large workforce.

Xu Wang also provides relatively generous wages to all wastelanders who participate in the construction.

For these wastelanders, most of whom are unemployed, this is actually the most tempting promise.

A few days ago, when Xu Wang expressed his thoughts.

Xiji and Zhao Cheng were both shocked.

They didn't realize that Xu Wang building a city for the wastelanders was already an immense favor.

Even during this process, Xu Wang was still thinking about how to properly settle the wasteland guests.

Xiji told Xu Wang at the time that Xu Wang's approach might cause a huge financial burden.

If it's in accordance with the Brotherhood's style of doing things.

The 12 wastelanders here will be forcibly suppressed and forced to participate in the construction project as slaves.

Looking for resettlement housing?
Want a salary?

Want demolition compensation?

Want to eat shit?

A salvo of airships silenced them all.

The simplest, most time-saving, and least labor-intensive approach is to directly suppress those who disobey.

For slaves who have no value, they are not even provided with food.

Anyway, the wasteland has no shortage of people.

If there aren't enough slaves, just send troops to capture more.

This is why Siggi couldn't stand it anymore and chose to defect from the Brotherhood.

Upon hearing Xiji's idea, Xu Wang immediately expressed his disapproval and then resolutely pushed forward with his own idea.

Seeing this, no one had any further objections.

The more Xu Wang acted this way, the happier they became.

This further solidified their resolve to stand by Xu Wang's side.

However, with the project being on such a large scale, Xu Wang certainly wouldn't be able to afford the wages for tens of thousands of workers in the future.

The effect of "burning money" is that Xu Wang can only receive it when people from other worlds burn money for him.

Unfortunately, Xu Wang has many followers in the wasteland, which means he almost never has to worry about money when he travels to another world.

However, in this other world, Xu Wang has few followers, and he doesn't have much money to spare in the wasteland.

Therefore, Juliet had to pay for it.

Anyway, once the new Six Wood City is built in the future...

Xu Wang will still let Juliet become the city lord.

He has no intention of personally managing hundreds of thousands of residents.

You just need to grasp the general direction.

Like Lou Qi, Juliet was determined to support Xu Wang.

There was no objection to her contributing money and effort.

Now, we have arrived at Sky City.

The construction plan for the new Liumu City was thus officially launched.

A convoy of vehicles departed from Liumu City Mall.

Under the watchful eyes of the surrounding wastelanders.

We passed by self-built houses and shantytowns along the way.

Finally, slowing down, and under the watchful eyes of the refugees, the vehicle squeezed through a passage to the foot of the Sky City. The vehicle came to a stop.

Xu Wang, Juliet, and others got out of the car.

Among them were several guards from Rokugi Castle.

"Engineer Xiji!"

Among the refugees, some saw Xiji and immediately shouted and pushed their way out.

These people were the workers who were previously responsible for maintaining the Xuwang train.

They were the ones who spread the news about the new city's construction.

Xiji saw them and waved happily, inviting them to come closer.

Dozens of workers immediately jogged over, and many bowed to Xu Wang, who was wearing a shelter uniform, and saluted him: "Sir!"

Hearing the workers address Xu Wang as...

This immediately caused a commotion among the nearby refugees.

Could it be that the young man in the shelter is none other than the famous Mr. Xu Wang who has been making headlines these past few days?
It doesn't have three heads and six arms, and it doesn't look tall or strong.

Can this person really lead them to rebuild the wasteland and restore humanity's glory?

No wonder the refugees judged people by their appearance.

This is just from an individual perspective.

Xu Wang is actually quite outstanding.

But once you have to shoulder such a great responsibility...

Among such a large group of wasteland guests, the more unique Xu Wang is, the more convincing he will be.

It's no wonder that ancient emperors always added various legends or strange appearances to their image.

Even the Emperor in Warhammer had to appear to the world as a giant, golden figure.

In an instant, whispers arose among the crowd.

With Xu Wang's hearing, he could clearly hear what these people were saying.

Xu Wang didn't care about this. Did he really have to show everyone that he could walk on his butt?
"Hey! It actually works!"

Xu Wang suddenly lost his mind and decided to let loose again, starting to cause trouble.

Seeing his expression, Lou Qi stepped forward and interrupted the spellcasting: "Say a few words to everyone. People need you to unite them."

Xu Wang sighed with regret after his spellcasting was interrupted.

But don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Right now, it's definitely more important to get down to business.

Seeing the pairs of eyes in front of him filled with doubt, suspicion, or hope, Xu Wang took flight and floated above them.

So that wastelanders further away could also see him.

This scene immediately drew gasps from the crowd.

Xiji and Zhao Cheng clenched their fists and pounded their chests, their eyes filled with loyalty!

In the next second, Xu Wang's voice was amplified by psionic energy and spread throughout the entire Sixwood City: "Brothers! Sisters! I am Xu Wang, the initiator of this new Sixwood City construction."

I know that you have heard many plans and visions from different people and organizations, to varying degrees.

What about rebuilding the wasteland, what about restoring human glory?

That's too far removed from us.

It has nothing to do with you now.

The reason I'm here is simple: I don't want to see you freeze to death, I don't want to see you starve to death, and I don't want to see you being dragged away by mutated, irradiated creatures in the middle of the night.

Or simply become someone else's slave.

I couldn't stand by and watch any longer, so I decided to do something about it.

Just as you've heard, I will open up Sky City so you can live there temporarily.

However, the right of residence is not permanent.

You need to work and build this city with your own hands.

I will pay you according to your different job positions. The minimum daily wage is 20 coins.

The workers involved in the construction will be granted the right to reside in the first batch of residents.

all in all!
Follow me, and I'll give you work, food, and medical care if you get sick. If any raiders or other people come looking for trouble, I'll take care of them.

All you need to do is one thing: not bully others, help each other, and work together to live a good life.

Trust me, you can sign up to enter Sky City right now.

Let's get started first thing tomorrow morning!

Xu Wang finished speaking.

The hatch of the Sky City behind him suddenly opened!

The clean and tidy environment inside was revealed.

One after another, Terminator robots emerged from inside and stood on both sides.

Many of the original androids from Sky City were also standing inside, ready to receive refugees who might board the ship later.

All refugees entering Sky City must undergo identity verification and disinfection.

This is also for the convenience of future management.

After Xu Wang finished his speech.

Despite the presence of tens of thousands of people, the scene was eerily quiet.

Everyone stared at Xu Wang, who was floating in mid-air, with varying expressions, seemingly lost in thought.

The only sound in the entire arena was the Terminator moving.

This made Xiji and Zhao Cheng a little nervous.

Zhao Cheng whispered to Xiji, "What's going on? Should we lead the way onto the boat? They're not moving."

Xiji shook his head; he didn't know either.

I just felt that these unruly people were being ungrateful.

The master has already offered such good terms, what are they still hesitating for?!

Finally, a pair of petite figures emerged from the crowd.

Xu Wang looked down.

They discovered it was a little boy and a little girl.

The little boy looked somewhat familiar.

Xu Wang quickly remembered.

He is Su Cao.

When Xu Wang first came to Liumu City, it was he who helped bring Xu Wang into the mall.

I remember he also said at the time that he was raising money to treat his good friend.

Now it seems that the little girl next to Su Cao was the friend he was talking about.

He had assumed that after the city of Liumu opened up, he would have been taken in and moved into the city.

I never expected to find it here.

So, Xu Wang fell from the sky and stopped directly in front of the hatch.

Smiling at the two children who walked in, she said, "Welcome to Sky City, Little Grass."

Su Cao smiled at Xu Wang: "I believe you!"

"Thank you for your trust."

Xu Wang then looked at the little girl beside him: "Is this the friend you were talking about?"

Su Cao nodded: "Yes, thank you, Giant of Light, His light cured Xiao Hua's illness."

"Haha! You're welcome!"

Xu Wang smiled happily upon hearing this.

His idol has indeed helped many people.

Su Cao looked at Xu Wang with a puzzled expression and asked, "What am I supposed to do next?"

Xu Wang pointed to the androids inside: "Just go in and register your identity information. They will arrange everything."

"it is good!"

Su Cao and his good friend Xiao Hua stepped through the hatch and onto the alloy deck of Sky City.

Inside, there were already people holding handheld devices and waiting like androids alongside the Ultraman statue.

With two children leading the way.

The hesitant refugees gradually began to approach.

Eventually, a long queue formed.

They have nothing left to lose.

Xu Wang certainly gives off a different vibe than other people.

They chose to take a gamble.

at the same time.

Among the crowd, looters disguised as refugees also gathered together and whispered among themselves.

One of them looked at the leader, whose lips were blood red, and asked, "Boss, what do we do?"

Rotten-Toothed Groom grinned, revealing a mouthful of rotten, sharp teeth: "You guys do the same as them, sneak in and scout things out first. Maybe we can take down this airship!"

That's worth far more than a mere Sixwood City!
