Chapter 818: The happy life of new immigrants
The "demolition operation" that took place in the "Isale Town" is one of countless demolition operations that are taking place on the land of the Thousand Lakes Republic.
All this stems only from an order issued by Renault a few months ago-to concentrate the population!
According to his plan, all remote villages and towns, or gatherings of less than 1,000 settlers, will be demolished and all the population will be merged into larger towns with convenient transportation.
Kimberly’s mother and daughter’s family is really one of them.
Even in order to prevent some civilian families who do not know good or bad from running back to their "hometown" secretly, the Parliament deliberately hired a group of people and demolished all the houses.
The purpose of this is to resist the demonized infection created by the Void Demon Race.
The Thousand Lakes Republic does not have enough power to take care of all the gathering points in the country. If a devastating disaster occurs in a remote village, it may be 10 days or half a month that the Parliament and the army know nothing.
If the population is concentrated, the military can monitor the "corruption index" of each gathering point at any time to prevent demonized infection.
The huge cost of migrating hundreds of thousands of people in one breath is nothing to someone who has the highest wealth in the human world.
For example, the Kimberly family, the House of Representatives paid for them to build a house for free, made simple decoration, and equipped with some basic furniture and daily necessities, they can move in directly with their bags.
As for some large objects in the "hometown" that are difficult to move, the parliamentary council also issued a sum of money as compensation for demolition.
In short, make every effort to speed up immigration.
When little Elise was held by her mother and boarded the "magic truck", that is, the "magic transporter" that the townspeople said, Aunt Liang had forgotten the sadness of losing her home.
Because of this weird looking big car, she was too curious.
"Mom, it's so warm here..."
Sister-in-law Liang hugged her mother's neck and whispered.
Around the mother and daughter, dozens of women and children from the small town were crowded in the big carriage pulled by the magic transporter, turning this not-so-spacious space into a noisy place.
Although there are no windows in the carriage, the light cannot come in, but there are two magic stone lamps hanging on the top to make the carriage bright.
Kimberly looked around for a moment, and quickly found that there were a few black pipes fixed on the side wall of the carriage, and there seemed to be hot wind blowing out of it.
This surprised the little woman.
She recalled for a moment, and said with a little uncertainty:
"My little Elise, I guess it should be uh... the "magic air conditioner" in the radio station... It can blow out warm wind without burning wood, honeycomb fuel blocks and the like. The radio said exactly the same, hey,'In the cold winter, give you the warmth of spring'..."
The more she spoke, the more certain she became.
"This must be the'Magic Air Conditioner'! Tsk, the army lords are so extravagant that they installed the'Magic Air Conditioner' in the'Magic Truck'..."
Aunt Liang raised her head and looked at the pipe that was braving the hot air, and she remembered a word in her heart-magic air conditioner.
"Squeak..."
The door of the carriage was suddenly opened, and a cool breeze poured in.
The two soldiers appeared in front of everyone, and the carriage fell silent for an instant.
The townspeople have an instinctive awe for the legendary silver angels who can descend the army that destroys the flames.
"boom!"
A large cardboard box was lifted by a soldier and placed in the carriage.
"Everyone, this is the'Maotai brand drink', which can quench thirst and replenish physical strength... Everyone, take a bottle and drink it on the road..."
However, no one dared to touch the carton.
The soldier shrugged helplessly, started to tear open the cardboard box, took out a bottle of drink from the box, and distributed them to the civilians one by one.
The beverage bottle is made of a slightly yellowish resin, with a resin cap on the mouth of the bottle, which has a volume of approximately 1 liter and is filled with green liquid.
The soldier deliberately unscrewed a bottle of "Maotai Brand Drink" in front of the civilians, took another sip, and then screwed on the bottle cap again, giving everyone a detailed demonstration.
This approach is necessary.
Because too many civilians do not know how to screw the bottle cap.
In immigration sites in other parts of the Republic, because no one demonstrated, a lot of dumbfounding things happened.
Actually, many people tried their best to bite the resin bottle and drink the drink through the breach. More people have never opened the drink bottle at all, and endured hunger and thirst all the way until they arrived at the new settlement.
As for asking the soldiers for food and water?
No one has the guts.
Kimberly learned the way of a soldier, unscrewed a bottle of drink, and handed it to her daughter.
Aunt Liang picked up the resin bottle with her small hands and took only a sip. Feeling the sweetness and a hint of sourness, her eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"Mom, this is so delicious!"
The other civilians in the carriage also began to try this new thing called "drink" at this time.
Their reaction is exactly the same as Xiao Gu Liang.
All of a sudden, the carriage was full of laughter and praise.
"Everyone, we are about to leave... If there is anything in the middle of the journey, please pat the side wall of the carriage..."
After saying this, the soldier slammed the door of the carriage, completely isolating the outside cold.
After more than ten breaths, Kimberly felt the carriage shook suddenly, and the "magic truck" swayed.
On the next journey, the mother and daughter stayed in the warm magic air conditioner and enjoyed the delicious "Maotai Drink", just feeling extremely comfortable.
The only drawback is that the road is too rough and bumpy, even though the driving speed is slow, it still bumps a bit uncomfortably.
However, this is not a big problem.
This kind of travel that cannot be blown by the wind or rain is full of fantasy for all civilians, enough to make them talk about it for a long time.
This alone is enough to make people ignore all its flaws.
...
"Squeak..."
When the carriage door was opened again, little Elise saw a whole new world, a bigger world.
Here, there are wide and flat streets.
Here, there are also brand-new wooden houses neatly arranged.
Each wooden house is larger than my sister-in-law Liang’s previous home. The walls of the wooden house are painted pale yellow, and the roof is painted gray, making it look very beautiful.
Little Elise just glanced at it and fell in love with such a house.
Here, it is far more lively and prosperous than "Isale Town".
She saw that many civilians were walking on both sides of the street with their children, and looked over curiously from time to time. Many people were carrying large and small items in their hands.
She saw horse-drawn carriages slowly passing through the street, and the sound of grunting wheels kept coming.
Occasionally, a few weird-looking two-wheeled vehicles drove by quickly. At this time, the surrounding pedestrians always cast envious eyes, and the horse-drawn carriages on the road dodge one after another.
She also heard a lot of children's laughter in a certain direction not far away, which made her have the urge to take a look in the past.
Xiao Gu Liang grabbed her mother's hand, looked at her eagerly, and asked in a tone full of expectation and a hint of anxiety:
"Mom, is this our new home? Will we all live here in the future?"
"Yes it is!"
Kimberly said with great certainty.
