I have a city in another world

Chapter 7057 Recruiters from the Gathering Place

After a period of cleanup, the monsters in the central area of ​​the city have now completely disappeared.

The survivors' range of activity continued to expand, and they began to sow and gather in the surrounding areas.

The collection of supplies and food yielded little result, barely enough to meet daily needs.

The survivors had already thoroughly searched this ruined city, transporting all useful supplies to the mountain town settlement.

Now it's a dilapidated place overgrown with weeds, making it difficult to harvest much.

Obtaining and storing large quantities of food is virtually impossible.

If there isn't enough food, then create and obtain it yourself by playing all sorts of seeds.

In this wasteland, seeds are a precious resource, representing the hope of survival.

Many survivors who were fleeing for their lives would always carry a seed with them. Even if they were so hungry that their eyes were black and they were eating wild grass and tree bark, they would never cook the seeds.

When the time is right, the seeds will be sown, and we will wait to harvest more food.

Most of the survivors who escaped from the mountain city had their belongings burned and buried under the ruins, but many still managed to bring out the seeds.

This is a habit, an obsession, a kind of helplessness born from a life of uncertainty and constant preparedness.

As the surrounding area was cleared, the group began using tools to cultivate the land and carefully sow the seeds.

Although that magical vine is now bearing abundant fruit, enough to solve the food crisis.

However, everyone knew that in matters of life and death, multiple preparations had to be made. Food could be plentiful enough to rot and go to waste, and could be used to feed livestock, but there absolutely could not be a shortage.

Having more reserves will give you a greater sense of security.

While everyone was working, some people stood guard with guns to prevent any danger from approaching.

The flower beds near the square cover a total area of ​​seven or eight acres and were once planted with various ornamental trees.

However, over the years, the trees have long been cut down and used as building fuel and firewood.

There are hardly any trees to be seen in the entire city.

Near large settlements, there are no trees in sight; instead, the area has been completely cleared of trees.

It's better without trees, as it's perfect for growing vegetables, but the weeds are rampant and need to be cleared away.

The cleared weeds could be used as fuel. Some survivors bundled and twisted them into thick rope-like rings, dried them, and then piled them up in a sheltered and well-ventilated place.

When you need to use it, you can simply light it, making it more convenient and fire-resistant.

The land is cleared, the seeds are sown, and then it is carefully tended and cared for.

While everyone was busy, a commotion arose in the distance, immediately alerting them.
While working, everyone picked up their weapons, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

In the wilderness, encountering unexpected events is quite normal, and survivors have long been accustomed to it.

Not long after, a group of people appeared from around the corner of the street, most of them wearing uniforms.

The survivors were familiar with this type of uniform, as they had seen it from time to time in the past.

"How did those guys from the garrison get here?"

Seeing this, some people couldn't help but mutter doubts.

"What else could they do but trick us into going back to risk our lives?"

The companion standing beside him scoffed upon hearing this, his tone full of mockery.

Several men dressed as survivors led the way, pointing out the buildings that served as the settlement.

The police officers looked at the people who were farming with a hint of wariness in their eyes.

They needed to make sure there were no enemies hiding in the crowd, lest they be attacked unintentionally.

The city ruins are now a melting pot of all sorts of people, with various forces gathered here.

Not only are there many survivors, but also many dangerous individuals, such as mutants, raiders, and even hidden demonic cultivators. Many of these people harbor great malice towards the mountain city settlement, and once they seize an opportunity, they will undoubtedly launch an attack without hesitation.

From the perspective of the police, this urban ruin was no different from a den of dragons and tigers, and no one would be willing to come here unless absolutely necessary.

The reason for this trip is that the inner city has issued an order requiring them to actively go to the wilderness to gather survivors.

The inner city council issued this order because the previous announcement had not achieved the desired effect.

The construction plans for the outer city were thus severely affected, much to the dissatisfaction of the inner city's administrators.

After their meeting, they issued orders to various departments in the outer city, requiring them to send personnel to the wilderness.

They search for escaped survivors or people from other places and recruit them to the mountain town settlement.

At the same time, reward and punishment measures were established, and each department must meet the standards, otherwise it will be punished.

There will be generous rewards for exceeding the task requirements.

After the order was issued, various departments in the outer city complained bitterly, because everyone knew that this task was far more difficult than they had imagined.

If the survivors in the wilderness hadn't had their reservations, they would have already flocked to the mountain town settlement.

If such generous benefits can't attract survivors, what other good methods do they have?

His heart was filled with resentment and anger, yet he was helpless and could only grit his teeth and head into the wilderness.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly that the inner city's administrators were worthless. Despite having hundreds of thousands of people in the inner city, they never sent anyone out to participate in the work, as if everything outside was none of their business.

Although these inner-city residents also have to work in factories to keep various departments running, they still make the departments in the outer city feel unfairly treated.

This group from the police department, together with other departments, went into the ruined city to recruit manpower.

Everyone knows this place is dangerous, but it is indeed populated by many people. Within the vast ruins of the city, numerous survivors are hidden.

Many survivors lived here before the war broke out, and now their numbers have multiplied.

Upon entering the city ruins, the police officers proceeded cautiously. Although they had weapons, they still could not feel safe.

This is because the survivors also possessed a large number of weapons, many of which came from military reserves.

After the outbreak of war, a large amount of it was used for supplies, which led to a massive oversupply of weapons and equipment.

This is also a significant hidden danger for mountainous areas, and if possible, we must find a way to solve it.

Of course, that's a story for later. The most important thing now is to gather a large number of people.

However, with a settlement as a backup, these officials certainly don't need to fear ordinary refugees.

On the contrary, the displaced people in the city were terrified of the officials and avoided them like the plague.

I've heard that a large number of survivors have gathered in this area, and outsiders are not allowed to approach easily.

It is indeed not something an ordinary person can do to seize and establish an independent territory in the central area of ​​a city.

This area, in particular, was once home to a large number of mutated monsters, but they have now all disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, the guide told us about the situation in the area; otherwise, the police officers might not have dared to come here rashly.

Despite realizing that the survivors in this area were not to be trifled with, the police officers still chose to come and recruit them.

Just as they were about to greet each other and show their tough stance, another group of people approached from a distance.

These people were pushing a vehicle loaded with the corpses of various monsters, clearly all of whom had just been violently killed.

The group of men and women in the team all exuded a murderous aura, and it was clear at a glance that they were not to be trifled with.

Even from a great distance, one could feel the intense aura of blood, which secretly alarmed a group of police officers.

They secretly raised their guard, ready to engage in combat immediately should any unusual situation arise.

"Brothers, I'm truly happy to see that you're all still alive!"

A seasoned police officer immediately put on a smile and greeted the group of survivors.
