The Renaissance Army headquarters and Guanlan Village base were brightly lit in the dark, forming a sharp contrast with the dark Urban area a few kilometers away.
Now, the military base area of Guanlan Village base had been isolated from the civilian area.
The residential area, which was the area with the theme of Guanlan Village, was being built with tall reinforced concrete walls. These walls were three stories high and were at least 10 meters above the ground.
These walls were an upgraded version of the basic defensive wall. As long as there were enough materials on the engineering vehicles, the engineers could build them.
With the protection of these walls, the residents living in the core area could live in peace.
According to estimates, the usable area inside the wall could provide for the living needs of at least one million people. Outside the wall, various farms would be established.
After the headquarters was completed, the system provided a new administrative system for the city, making Luo Chen feel like he was playing a city sim.
The cities and regions controlled by the Renaissance Army would have a greater impact on the military system.
Every city was formed from the resource points in the Urban area and the periphery. Only by occupying and managing all of these could one be considered to have a complete territory.
The resources produced by the city, as well as taxes, would give birth to corresponding resource points.
In the future, once the scale of the army grew, a certain amount of money would be needed to maintain the combat power of the army. For example, the production of supplies, fuel, and additional ammunition would all require resource points.
After owning a city, not only could they produce resource points, but the industrial city would also reduce the production and maintenance costs of the troops.
Therefore, urban development and military development complemented each other.
Hence, when Guanlan City was being built, Luo Chen sent out engineers to build residential houses. Now, the main thing they built for the residents were neat 12-story apartments.
One of these apartments could accommodate 40 households on one floor, and 480 households on the 12th floor.
Only 10 buildings were built in the first phase, and it was estimated that another 40 or so buildings would be built in the future.
The total population of survivors had reached 3861. Even with so many people, the apartment buildings were still not filled.
Each of these apartments was a standard 60-square-meter apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. Although it wasn't big, it had a kitchen, bathroom, and even furniture.
Wang Zhiyuan walked home with a big smile on his face while carrying a handbag.
"Old Wang, are you off work? Did you have a good meal tonight?"
The teasing voice of the neighbor, Old Zhong, came from the side.
"Hey, didn't you just get assigned a new job…"
Wang Zhiyuan smiled shyly.
"If you ask me, the Renaissance Army is really this!”Old Zhong was silent for a moment before giving a thumbs up.
Old Zhong was a poor man. He lost his wife and children in the apocalypse, and when he almost died in the mouth of a mutated creature, it was the Renaissance Army who saved him.
Old Zhong had been in other survivor forces before, but a useless middle-aged man like him was basically cannon fodder. He could only attract the attention of the zombies. He was just a tool and had no status at all.
If it wasn't for the Renaissance Army, someone like him would probably have died long ago.
After experiencing the apocalypse, even a bottle of water had become a precious resource. It was common to kill someone for a bottle of water.
Human lives were worthless in this chaotic world.
After experiencing the apocalypse, he came to the Revival Army's Guanlan Village base. Now, it was called Guanlan City. It was really like a dream.
After Wang Zhiyuan brought his wife and children to the base and went through the initial quarantine inspection, they lived in such an apartment building for free.
However, this kind of life was not free. Every adult in every household would be assigned a job.
The children were all sent to the temporary school in the city.
Basically, the staff would assign work to each person according to their previous occupation and skills.
Wang Zhiyuan used to work in sales, but there was nothing he could do for the time being. He could only carry bricks and do construction work.
If it was before the apocalypse, no one would do the hard work of moving bricks at a construction site unless they had no other choice.
But now, in the Guanlan Village base, even this kind of work was fought over.
The Revival Army staff would distribute work points according to the work done by each person, and work points were equivalent to the currency of Guanlan City.
Wang Zhiyuan's GPA for a day was about 30 points, and the construction site provided meals. In the canteen of the construction site, he only needed 5 GPA to pack a box of one meat and two vegetables. Therefore, every time he got off work, he would pack two boxes of food for his wife and children.
If this was before the apocalypse, one could have eaten this kind of food anytime and anywhere.
However, when Wang Zhiyuan, his wife, and his daughter ate the lunchboxes, they cried and ate at the same time.
Occasionally, he could even spend 10 GPA on a pack of cigarettes.
Almost every new resident was like this. From the initial numbness and confusion, they were filled with hope for a new life.
Today, the city's supply and marketing cooperative opened. Because of his sales experience, Wang Zhiyuan was transferred to the supply and marketing cooperative. He could get 50 GPA a day there!
Therefore, he also spent extravagantly and bought a box of canned red braised pork for an extra meal at home.
Now, the newly built Guanlan City not only had water, but it also had electricity.
Even though he did not have a television for the time being, Wang Zhiyuan was determined to buy one so that he would not be so bored at night.
Ever since he came here, Wang Zhiyuan felt that his life was filled with hope again.
As long as he worked, he would be able to live without worries. He believed that the Renaissance Army would be able to fend off all dangers outside the wall.
Outside, more and more survivors saw the lights of Guanlan City. They resolutely packed their bags and began to move forward.
He hoped to be able to head to the land of hope where the spark of civilization could once again be found.
