After he had finished, the soldiers had already picked up their weapons and geared up, eager and excited to make a move.

It was completely normal for them to behave that way.

This was their first battle outside the territory after several days.

Most of their time has been spent either traveling on the snow-capped mountain or camping out in the snow with the cold wind blowing on them.

“We can only succeed! There is no room for failure!”

Feng Tianmin stood in front of the team and shouted a slogan with squinted eyes.

Thirty-six soldiers were divided into three teams, respectively led by Su Mo, Feng Long, andFeng Tianmin.

Su Mo did not feel the need to motivate the team after seeing the vigilance of those rotten humans inside the trading realm.

Taking care of them was a piece of cake.

The real battle was dealing with Sun Bahu afterward.

…

Doomsday Calendar Month 5 Day 10, it was the 130th day that humans descended on the wasteland and also four days away from the second winter disaster—the great cooling.

On this day, it rained in many places throughout the entire New World.

It was a long continuous rain from morning to night that alternated between small and big rain.

In the absence of complete drainage facilities in most territories, the rain has caused a lot of trouble, and many territory lords have suffered.

Inside Origin Territory, the mountain peaks where the people resided were alright since the stagnant water would naturally flow down the terrain, and not much residue would remain.

However, the territory square, which was situated on lower ground, suffered greatly. The rain was falling from the sky and the water from nearby mountains accumulated in this one place.

Since the territory had not constructed any drainage system, everything had to be done by manpower.

Nearly 7,000 people wearing raincoats were forced outside to work at eight in the morning. They carried simple buckets and stood in the territory square where garbage floated on water levels at their calves, trying to ensure the square’s safety as much as possible.

The power of heaven could be infinite, but manpower was incredibly limited.

Throughout the square, there were several places where many more people were arranged.

The first was the three large warehouses that stored the territory’s supplies. This was their top priority that had to be protected at all costs.

The second was the weaponry that contained the strength of Origin Territory. The territory’s weapons were their important resources, and their safety had to be guaranteed.

The third was a few places that paid significant taxes to Sun Bahu as protection fees. Thus, Sun Bahu naturally arranged more people to ensure these places’ safety.

The other ordinary buildings and places in Origin Territory were prioritized only after these three.

These ordinary residents did not dare to complain against their lord’s orders, so they simply stood in the water and carried out the water buckets one at a time.

From morning to noon, from noon to afternoon.

The rain gradually grew, but the water accumulated on the ground miraculously did not rise much higher.

There were countless visible heads everywhere in the gathering place.

They worked so hard because they heard a burst of fierce gunfire that broke out in the Main Peak, followed by an announcement by Sun Bahu.

As long as they stuck to the job until the evening, everyone would not only receive twice the salary as their normal work but also receive soup with meat crumbs to warm themselves up all night.

Under the temptation of such rewards, all the ordinary disaster-resistance residents of Origin Territory united and worked together to achieve the current results.

The heavy rain gradually turned into a light drizzle around eight in the evening.

Then, in less than ten minutes, the dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed and revealed a bright and round moon.

The people continued to stand within the water and clear the water until the rain ultimately stopped.

Loud cheers began to sound throughout the whole territory after buckets of thick soup were carried out and distributed on the streets.

…

San Yuan Hotel.

The hotel’s location was the first in the alley, and the people lined up from here until the end of the alley for soup.

These people who had been protecting the square while standing in water for the day were excited. Their hands were shaking, and they occasionally raised their heads to count how many more people were ahead of them until their turn.

At the same time, they would raise their heads once in a while and look at the travelers standing by their windows looking down from the San Yuan Hotel with envy in their eyes.

They were all humans but lived completely different lives.

The travelers stayed inside a dry, warm house while waiting for the rain to pass.

Meanwhile, they had no choice but to stand outside in the rain to protect the square all day just to receive an insignificant amount of food.

“At least there is something to eat. Sooner or later, I’ll make good money in the future and can rest while others work!”

A slim man comforted himself as he glanced at the wooden barrel ahead of him, eager to rush up to take a sip.

However, when he arrived in front of the wooden barrel, the smiling staff who was giving out the soup previously did not look at him. Instead, the team began to pack up the barrels and looked as if he was going to leave.
