Chapter 368: 367 The so-called danger

This definitely wasn’t because these women, after receiving substantial supplies and rewards, were biased towards speaking favorably of the Xiang City Base garrison.

Indeed, their mental adjustment was quite significant.

Originally, everyone thought they were living on the edge of danger, with one foot already in the coffin, taking their own children with them, doomed to die together at any moment.

Who would willingly come here to do this sort of work if there were a better path?

Those who came here to build the walls were staking their lives on the job.

Honestly, they had all prepared themselves for death.

Yet, to their surprise, this place was safer than they had imagined.

A woman whispered softly,

"Why don’t those people come to build the wall if it’s so safe here? The wages are so high now, and we’ve been given plenty of supplies. We barely encounter zombies— they are all dealt with by the garrison."

The woman beside her shrugged noncommittally,

"They’re probably frightened by the zombies from the south. Plus, those men probably have better options. Unlike us, with nothing but a do-or-die situation at the construction site, we don’t have any other way out."

Speaking of others was one thing, but just take her case for example, carrying a child on her back, leading another by the hand.

At home, there was a bedridden mother-in-law, while her husband had left Xiang City Base for City E.

Dressed up as an exploration for a brighter future.

In truth, whether he would return was without any expectation at all.

Because when her husband left, he had not considered the old and young left at home.

With him gone, who would provide for his family?

Thus, if women didn’t come out to work, could they even survive?

Many had left Xiang City Base and chosen the safer City E.

Through word of mouth, City E had become known as a place like an earthly paradise.

Although its construction was not as advanced as Xiang City Base, it was very safe.

Unlike Xiang City Base, which was about to be overwhelmed by the Zombie Tide.

Consequently, in the past few days, more and more survivors had been heading east, migrating towards City E.

Of course, for the women at the construction site, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave, but they simply couldn’t.

If men didn’t take them along, they had neither the strength for a long journey to City E, nor the necessary supplies.

Plus, having children with them, if they encountered malicious people on the way, it wouldn’t just be the women who suffered, but their children as well.

Staying in Xiang City, at least bullying of the weak was strictly forbidden.

The women felt very secure in Xiang City.

They didn’t want to leave this place; without the mainstay of the family, they simply had no other option.

It was precisely because they had no other option that they discovered such an easy, safe job with abundant supplies.

How lucky, hallelujah, thank God, thank those men who left, allowing the women to discover a New World.

By the afternoon, several more women arrived in groups at the construction site looking for work.

Some brought their children, others did not.

After the first group of women completed their construction work with quality and speed, more women came looking for work, and the contractor agreed very happily.

They worked meticulously and upon completion, they conscientiously cleaned up all the garbage on the site, neatly placing it in the garbage bins beside the road.

The rule of tidying up junk casually had been emphasized countless times by Huo Jing to the workers at the construction site.

But still, few would take the trash from the construction site and dispose of it properly in the garbage bins.

The sweeping robot always had to come at the end, cleaning away all the garbage on the ground.

The women were very quiet while eating.

They cherished such work opportunities exceedingly; as soon as they finished their meals, there was no need for Huo Jing and the Contractor to hurry them to start work.

They would conscientiously take their places and continue repairing the city wall.

Was the pace of their work much worse than that of the men’s?

And they had far fewer issues than the men.

A day later, both the Contractor and Huo Jing were extremely satisfied with these women.

When it came time to settle the resources, the Contractor and Huo Jing packed the supplies into plastic bags and distributed them to every woman.

A look of immense relief appeared on each woman’s face.

After all, wasn’t managing household chores and attending to the needs of the entire family just as strenuous as hauling bricks on a construction site?

In fact, the intensity of labor they endured today was even lower than the work they did for their families.

One woman, holding a large bag full of supplies, gratefully said to her companion,

"Back at home, I’m incessantly busy, without a moment’s peace—barely even have time to drink water, and I don’t earn a wage for it. My man still complains every day that I do nothing at home and that he’s the one keeping us afloat."

"I never thought that hauling bricks on the construction site would be so easy."

"We truly owe it to the men who’ve left, for they have granted us this work opportunity."

Another woman, her face crinkled with laughter,

"Isn’t this more than what you’d earn from a month on the streets? You might not even get as much in a month as we got in supplies just for a single day."

She weighed the large bag of supplies she was holding in her arms.

At the construction site, along with three meals and two snacks a day, the resources were an additional allowance given to them.

Work a full month, and you could joyfully pocket 200,000.

In this apocalypse, where else could you find such a good job? With such favorable conditions, who would still want to do housework at home?

Her companions nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

Some even remarked while walking,

"Look at us, clutching so many supplies in our hands. If we were outside, someone would have likely robbed us of them by now."

"But here we are, walking inside Xiang City Base, without a worry. Who would dare to rob us of our supplies?"

This was yet another reason why everyone dearly loved Xiang City, regardless of how good other cities like E City were claimed to be by the men.

At least in the hearts of these women, nowhere could compare to the comfort and safety they felt within Xiang City Base.

In the following days, more and more women were attracted to repair the city walls by the generous supplies and high wages.

Many hands make light work; with balanced design and scientific arrangement, the tasks assigned to each person were actually quite manageable and not exhausting.

The Contractor began running three shifts.

At Xiang City East, behind the wire mesh, the city wall quickly rose high.

And at this moment, the Zombies on the southern side of Xiang City Base had turned into a wave, beginning to assault the walls of Xiang City.

The Zombies in the East were increasing in numbers as well.

But this still had no effect on the women working on the East side.

They repaired the city walls within the electric fence, and the Garrison was nearby, decimating Zombies close to the fence.

And the electric fence was hundreds of meters away from the city wall.

The so-called danger was perhaps that the women standing on top of the city wall could visually spot the Zombies outside the electric fence...
