For a soldier, it is absolutely a happy thing to be able to return to the profession he is most familiar with.

Eighty kilometers south and east of Hope Village.

In order to prevent the training recruits from running back to the village to have their teeth sacrificed, a new military camp was temporarily set up here.

The reason why it is temporary is because the terrain of the entire Tianyuan territory is simply too flat.

Not to mention the complicated hills and swamps, there is not even a decent big pit to be found.

An important military location like a military camp is naturally built on the basis of natural dangers.

It can be used as a training ground on weekdays to train soldiers to fight in complex terrain and improve their combat experience.

At critical moments, you can also rely on natural defense to achieve the miracle of defeating more with less.

In the ruins of the future.

The first alien war in the Tianyuan Territory was due to the terrain, which resulted in the territory being attacked by alien races from all directions.

Since then, Chen Shen has learned from the pain and continued to choose to expand to the coastline.

Now, although Somo has not disappeared, there is no way to expand the territory or change the local terrain in a short period of time.

It makes no sense.

After all, the biggest enemies right now are still the gopher guys in Qinggang City.

Building a mountain under the opponent's nose is too eye-catching, and it might even have a counterproductive effect.

And if the military camp is stationed far away from the city, it will be difficult to provide quick support in the event of a battle.

After making a choice, the location of the military camp was set up here.

It is far away from the prosperous Hope Village, but the distance to the warning wall and the distance to the Bone Village is actually close.

By this time, it was almost late at night.

Under the illumination of eight high-power searchlights, hundreds of people were still busy building the camp after half an afternoon.

When you get closer, you'll be a little surprised.

These busy people are not the construction team from the village, nor are they Tianyuan Army soldiers.

Instead, it was the residents of the nearby Barren Bone Village and some unlucky wanderers who had been captured before.

Counting the days, it has been a while since I came to live in the Barren Bone Village from the sewers of Qinggang City.

What changes over time is not only this ever-changing village, but also the people who are tolerated and accepted by the village.

"Hey, a brother, come here and help me, this wooden stake is too heavy!"

In front of a huge wooden stake that was as tall as a person and as thick as a bucket, Ram wiped the sweat from his head and yelled not far away.

Because he knew Osmond, he was also the first legionnaire to hand over information honestly.

Ram has been very lucky recently.

Under the careful care of the village chief Huangxiong, it took him less than a month to end his prisoner period and successfully obtained his first temporary citizen ID card.

Of course, they are only temporary citizens who have the qualification to temporarily stay in Tianyuan territory.

In Desolate Bone Village, temporary citizens are not eligible for task rewards, and they do not receive a single iron coin for their work.

If you choose to work seriously, in addition to three meals a day, you will be provided with regular and quantitative supplies, and at most, you will be given some ordinary daily necessities.

But this is already a wanderer’s dream life!

Work, exchange, reward.

It sounds like a very logical thing, and it can even be regarded as common sense.

But for the homeless.

In the past, when they rummaged through garbage dumps in the city for food, most of the time they could only get 30% full.

Even if there are gophers who hire them to work, they will eventually use various excuses to deduct the promised remuneration.

There is no way to protect my rights and no place to protect my rights.

The gopher man is also afraid that these homeless people will be too full and will not be willing to continue working or make trouble.

The wanderer is also worried that if he continues to beg, the gopher man will send soldiers to suppress it.

But with this kind of treatment, there are still a lot of homeless people who cannot participate and can only accompany them silently.

But what now?

Ram was already drooling as he spoke.

He knew very well that as long as all the materials were transported and the land of the camp was leveled.

The canteens in the village will open their doors, serving mouth-watering white flour steamed buns and fresh stir-fried vegetables.

And because it is an extra late-night snack, the canteen will be open for them to eat, as long as they don't waste it, they can eat as much as they want.

And this is precisely why working on the construction site is so tiring, and I almost lose my head when making the announcement.

"Okay, brother, wait for me, I'll help right away!"

'Xia Zuo', who was still carrying the wooden plank, raised his head and responded, and his smile became even wider when he saw it was Ram.

As the unlucky guy who was also captured.

These people were captured during the invasion and were made prisoners from the beginning.

He was arrested in the Pumpkin Bunker and was later deported here. Fortunately, he was able to obtain a temporary ID card.

At first Xia Zuo was a little disapproving, but after learning the specific inside story and what happened to these "comrades" in the past, he would lose sleep every night, worrying that his identity certificate would be taken away.

Fortunately, the city seems to have become more chaotic recently, and the manager who brought them back has no time to deal with it.

In order to preserve his identity, Xia Zuo was at the forefront of almost every job.

"Come on, try harder."

"One, two, one"

With help from others, the two of them struggled to lift the wooden pile into the dug hole, panting from exhaustion.

But when he raised his head, he could see the smile in the other person's eyes.

"Brother, you are in good shape, aren't you?"

"Hahaha, it's good to eat more in that new city." Xia Zuo's face showed an energetic expression, and he patted the wooden stake: "Have you heard, the military camp built here is. What do you think they are behind?

Will you call us to join?”

"?"

Ram was stunned: "Say goodbye, I don't want to go to the battlefield and sacrifice my life for others."

But before he finished speaking, he quickly shook his head.

It's just that this time he didn't say anything, and his lips moved twice, and the meaning was self-evident.

Compared with the treatment given to them in Qinggang New City, the Barren Bone Village now truly treats them as human beings.

If an enemy comes to defend this place, Ram believes that he will definitely rush forward with weapons in hand without hesitation.

But then again.

If he was really good enough to go on the battlefield, he wouldn't be reduced to being a prisoner here.

"Then you are willing to live with this temporary identity card?"

Xia Zuo asked cautiously in a low voice.

"?"

Seeing the suspicion on Ram's face, Xia Zuo quickly explained with a smile: "What I mean is that if you want to obtain a real identity certificate, you either have to live and work in the village for two years, or you have to perform meritorious services."

"If those of us who obtained temporary certificates first don't work harder, those who are still labeled as prisoners will make meritorious services."

captive?

Meritorious service?

Ram frowned, this was a direction he didn't expect.

If they can obtain formal citizen status, they can receive normal wages for their work and can also open independent factories.

Yes.

Now they are employed in a construction factory run by a lucky villager in Barren Bone Village.

It’s unclear how much the territory will pay the factory director, but it must be a “huge amount” that they dare not even imagine.

"How can we perform meritorious service? Even if the army allows us to join, we won't be able to perform meritorious service in a short period of time, right?"

"What's more, neither you nor I are meant to go to the battlefield. If there is a deserter incident, I don't want my current life to be ruined."

Not sure why Xia Zuo was captured, Ram subconsciously regarded him as a defeated element on the battlefield.

The two deserters wanted to perform meritorious service, but they were probably dreaming.
