Chapter 220 Arrival (2/2)
The teenager had been very scared when he was captured, but now that he had found that these people were not evil, he was much more relieved and started to consider Han Xiao's suggestion.
Most of the wanderers did not have the luxury to enjoy full stomachs, so the prospect of work in exchange for food was indeed tempting.
After having someone send the teenager away, Han Xiao took out the map and said, ”Graymetal Ruins is isolated. There's no human habitation within thirty miles, but there are about more than a dozen colonies further away, mostly small ones, totaling at about two thousand to three thousand people. Liu Zhao, take some people and food along with you, and spread the news about us building a sanctuary.”
The original intention of a sanctuary was to protect wanderers in the wilderness. Thus, it was normal to attract wanderers to move in. Huang Yu thought that he had seen through Han Xiao's plan and thought to himself, He actually wants to hire wanderers as workers, but it's still too few.
Han Xiao wanted to complete the basic layout of the sanctuary blueprint in a month, which needed at least 100,000 people. There were way too few wanderers for that.
Huang Yu shook his head. He felt the one-month plan would very most likely fail. It would not damage the organization, but it definitely would damage Black Phantom's prestige and face. Being unable to live up to his word, other high ranked officials' impression of him would definitely worsen.
I will appeal to return to the headquarters after staying for a month anyway, Huang Yu thought. There were no opportunities to contribute or gain benefits, so he did not want to waste his time being an assistant in Sanctuary Three.
Concerned with that arrangement, Liu Zhao said, ”But if we spread out the guards, the defensive power of the team won't be enough.”
Han Xiao pointed toward the Generation 2.5 Rangers that patrolled the camp with their preprogrammed routes and gave a faint laugh.
”I'll give you another chance to respond.”
”I ensure the completion of the mission.” Liu Zhao changed his words immediately and stood straight.
…
The endless plains of Karst were maroon and looked like coagulated blood. Han Xiao had returned once again; it was a familiar view.
Come to think about it, I haven't been back to my base for quite a long time, Han Xiao thought. His base had been in standby mode as he did not really use it.
The outline of the Graymetal Ruins appeared in sight.
There had once been a broad road on the plains, but after years of no maintenance, it was now filled with weeds. The concrete had cracked open, and greens grew from within. Old newspapers flew slowly on its roads, and the long extinguished street lights were covered in vines.
It was a view filled with despair.
The entrance of the Graymetal Ruins was a broad abandoned road. The convoy moved forward along the road, and the only sound was the sound of the engine and the wheels pressing on the roads.
The huge amount of work needed to turn this abandoned city into a sanctuary had the people feeling greatly pressured.
