“Recently, the villa has been quite peaceful, what's going on?”
At a construction site in Ying City, several two-star evolvers were sitting by a half-dug pit, smoking a cigarette that someone had just spun from the roulette. They looked towards Cloud Summit and chatted.
Such construction sites are everywhere nowadays; Ying City has turned into a massive building site, with the city walls growing taller at an astonishing rate each day.
It is said that once the entire Ying City is completed according to the plan, it will become a magnificent city reminiscent of ancient times, capable of housing over five million evolvers.
This is an impressive number, as evolvers are not like ordinary people from before; their daily lives and training require significantly more space. The city also needs to establish large areas for various facilities, such as training grounds, trading markets, barracks, and battle beast camps.
In summary, once this place is built, it may become the largest habitat for evolvers in the entire national district, or even the whole world.
To construct such a grand city, a massive workforce is naturally required. Cloud Summit has absorbed a large labor force through various channels.
To prevent infiltration by hostile forces, Ye Zhongming has adopted an active invitation strategy. Long ago, preparations began to invite some small-scale battle teams or lower-level evolvers to live in Ying City. Under a certain degree of protection, they could enjoy a relatively easy life. Many forces in Ying City previously believed that this was Cloud Summit solidifying its foundation—after all, having people means other matters can be discussed.
The arrival of these people certainly brought benefits to Cloud Summit; the low-level equipment and potions they needed were plentiful in Cloud Summit's reserves. Due to their lack of strength, there were many tasks that other forces were unwilling to undertake, which they could handle. Additionally, they would also bring a certain amount of tax revenue to Cloud Summit.
However, it now appears that Cloud Summit brought these people in primarily to ensure there would be enough labor during the reconstruction of Ying City.
Key locations and major projects must be constructed by Cloud Summit or the original forces of Ying City, but some basic infrastructure and less critical areas can be entrusted to these individuals. Based on the amount of work done, Cloud Summit would provide some compensation, and these people were eager to do so.
Take this group of two-star evolvers, for example. They have already fallen too far behind in terms of evolution levels. In a sense, they have been eliminated; in the apocalypse, there are very few mutated life forms that they can hunt, and evolving upwards is extremely difficult.
But Cloud Summit has given them hope. As long as they complete the construction of Ying City, they will receive three-star evolution elixirs, and based on their performance and work efficiency, they would earn one to several pieces of good equipment.
Although lacking many machines, the extraordinary physiques of the evolvers compensate well for this. Each team has clear targets, and on average, working in Ying City for two months will earn them the promised rewards.
There’s food and drink, all consisting of high-quality mutated life ingredients beneficial for the body. They can sleep soundly every night without worrying about being bitten by zombies in their dreams. Good performance earns extra rewards, and they may even gain priority access to various major teams in Ying City. After two months, they can steadily improve their evolution levels.
Such good fortune is a dream come true, and the enthusiasm for work among these individuals is extremely high, which has led to the rapid construction of Ying City.
Currently, at least twenty thousand evolvers from one-star to three-star are laboring throughout Ying City.
Having been here for over a month, these individuals have gotten used to large groups of Cloud Summit personnel passing by. That was their happiest moment, as they could see hope in these Cloud Summit warriors, who were at least five stars strong. Perhaps that is their future.
