I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 532 After life becomes stable...

The new cities planned by Country Xia have been selected one by one. Except for the two in Country G, the other eight require Country Xia to provide a large amount of labor and materials. This provides a short-term job channel for the people of Country Xia and also provides a sales channel for a number of material manufacturers in Country Xia.

Construction materials are purchased by the government, but recruitment is open to the entire population.

Although leaving the big city to work is definitely dangerous, the salary and benefits are very generous, and the people of Xia are not all well-fed, so there is always a shortage of people willing to do it.

Moreover, during the construction period, it is possible to establish connections with future residents in the city. At that time, whether doing small business or large investment there, there will be multiple ways. Many business owners will arrange their own people to work there and inquire about information for themselves.

On the other side, the survivors of the alliance who needed to be relocated were all over Blue Star. Almost all countries except Country G and Country A had purchased Xia Country's rescue services. The Xia Country rescue team went all out and flew planes everywhere to rescue people.

The Xia country rescue team is very efficient. Survivors from all over the world are constantly sent to the major cities selected by their respective countries. After having a full meal, they immediately join the construction team.

In this way, with the high-energy materials and emerging technologies provided by the Xia Kingdom, the newly built large cities, at least the outer high walls of the large cities, were built from the ground in two months, providing the first layer of safety protection for the survivors of the alliance.

During the construction of the high wall, construction sites in every major city encountered swarms of insects, which were all blocked by the guards sent by the Xia Kingdom.

The Xia Kingdom's military is full of talented people. After experiencing multiple insect swarms and summarizing lessons learned, they developed effective response measures based on the different scales of the swarms. In countless actual combats that followed, the Xia Kingdom's army was able to use them flexibly.

The high wall was completed and various fortifications were put in place.

The internal construction will take a little longer, but if we follow the plan, it can be completed by early 2031. With the Hope Town building complex as a foundation, this will not be a big problem.

The Alliance survivors were very satisfied to finally have a place where they could sleep peacefully. What surprised them even more was that they could actually have enough food to eat!

You know, some of them had never had enough to eat even in the previous peacetime, while another part had lost everything after the insect plague and could only barely survive by eating one meal a day, and only a small part of them had no worries about their life from beginning to end.

Among the ten large cities built around Xia State, the first rigid requirement that Xia State put forward to the Alliance Committee was the issue of food.

These survivors who have been relocated to live in the big city are most likely the last remaining population of other countries on Blue Star, and they must be supplied with enough food to eat.

As for whether the managers of the ten major cities (that is, the alliance committee members) should let them exchange work for food or distribute it for free, Xia Guo does not care.

In short, with the population of Blue Star already reduced so much, no one can starve to death anymore.

The alliance members had no resistance to this request. After all, they had too few people at their disposal and they would feel insecure. Even those members who only viewed their own people as assets would like to have more assets.

What's more, some big families in the alliance still have a lot of industries left in their home countries that they cannot take away, and they also need more people to work for them.

The survivors of the Alliance were very satisfied as they could finally eat well and sleep well.

But the Zerg threat still exists, and the Xia Kingdom will not always send troops to protect them, so after the new city is built, the first priority of the alliance is to restore their army.

The armies of their original countries have either been wiped out or have long since dispersed. It's no problem for many soldiers to fight against their own kind, but this time the target of the battle is an alien race. How can they fight?

The soldiers whose mentality had already collapsed fled and became ordinary survivors under the insect plague, struggling to survive in anonymity. There were many such people.

The Alliance Committee had no way of pursuing those who were actually deserters. As I said before, they only had a few more men left.

Therefore, when the conscription notice was issued in these ten major cities, it also directly stated the official attitude and exempted previous soldiers from all responsibilities.

The authorities have let bygones be bygones, and some people are willing to rejoin the army and become soldiers again. Although their opponents are still the Zerg, they have fought wits and courage with the Zerg for several years and survived. They are no longer the same as they were before.

This is true even for ordinary survivors. Those who were too lazy to move, relied on others for support, and lived a day-to-day life have long been eliminated by the Zerg. Who among those who have survived to this day is not a ruthless person?

Therefore, when the alliance recruitment announcement came out and ordinary survivors saw the military salary and benefits, most of them responded positively.

The reason is simple. The salary and benefits of joining the army are the highest among all the jobs they can get. Even if there are enough food and supplies in the big cities, they still have to spend money to buy them.

Among the ten cities, not a single one provided free relief.

Don’t ask what to do with the elderly and children. The answer is that these two groups are almost gone. Those families who still have elderly people or children to support are those who have no shortage of food and do not need relief.

With high salaries, the alliance army was quickly formed. Although the number of people was a little small in the early stage, the prototype of the entire army was there, and they just had to continue to fill it up.

In order to enable the alliance army to be combat-ready as soon as possible, the Xia Kingdom dispatched specially trained commanders to every major city. Not to mention that they could go out and fight the Zerg in a short period of time, but at least they had to be able to cooperate with the city's defense system to resist the Zerg tide and protect the safety of the city.

·····

Today, it is already early June 2031.

In the battle of Blue Star humans against the Zerg invasion, the Blue Star army gradually adapted and found more effective ways to deal with the situation during combat. Although casualties among soldiers were inevitable, the number was decreasing.

It has been almost a year since the survivors of the Alliance moved into the big city. With their food and clothing guaranteed and their lives stable, some of the survivors have chosen to start a family and have children. Even those survivors who still want to live alone have higher demands for their quality of life, and naturally, they have more demands for supplies.

If they want to exchange supplies with the Xia Kingdom, whether official or private, they need to have resources in their hands. For this reason, more and more people are forming teams to go out for exploration, and the demand for weapons is also increasing.

But now most areas of Blue Star have either been destroyed by the Zerg or occupied by them, especially the secret passages, which are the favorite place for the mother nest to take root.

There aren't really many ways for Alliance survivors to obtain resources.
