After about thirty minute, they finally arrived in the an open plain full of unfinished crops.
"What is that that thing?" Xiaoyun noticed the bulldozer that is heavily reinforced with sheets of tal and spikes laying on the side of the road.
"Almost look like a makeshift tank without a barrel. Pretty innovative idea in my opinion. "Jixi comnted.
After driving for few more minute, they arrived at the entrance of the town.
Several hundred people were already standing, so were even injured as if they just went through a brutal fight.
"Are you guys okay?" Xiaoyun asked through the window.
"We're fine, we are just beaten back the Black Tiger... gang." Ren Xi noticed the people behind Xiaoyun's bus.
"Well you guys don't have to worry about that anymore. We just capture all of them." Xiaoyun got off the bus along with a squad of soldiers.
"What? How's that possible?" Ren Xi looked shocked.
"We were just coincidentally right outside their entrance when they were coming back from their raids." Xiaoyun explained.
"That's... so lucky. Very well, we will fulfill our end of the bargain... but you will need to convince the villagers and the new people to move to your city." Ren Xi put up a condition.
"No problem, I'm sure they are willing to join us. Just can you please gather all the people in three town?" Xiaoyun asked.
"Okay, I will tell the other two town leader that right now."

After waiting for an hour, all the people from three towns were there. Xiaoyun stood in front of them and gave a short straightforward speech.
"Do you guys want safety? Because if you do, that's what we can provide to you. You all see all these weapons behind us right? It isn't just so toy. You see the black tiger gang right here right? We are the one who defeated them.
Don't you want to sleep at ho safely knowing that there won't be a zombie that sneak behind flimsy blockade? We got walls and soldier patrolling the wall day and night.
We got jobs, even white collar jobs in the offices. We also got farms, constructions, doctors, any many more jobs and opportunity rather than stay in your guy's backward town.
I'm here to offer you a free bus ticket to our city... Of course, if you don't want to join, we won't force you. Just rember that you gave up the best choice of your life." Xiaoyun ended his speech and step back down.
Many of the villagers hesitated, but the people that had just joined the three town recently was willing to move.
At the end, almost a third of the people wanted to join, or around a thousand.
Many were skilled laborers or white collar workers that had just escaped from the city and getting tired of the farm life of the town.
After loading the bus and driving it back and forth from the town to the base for the whole afternoon, Xiaoyun was finally on his last trip to carry the last remaining people.
"Mr.Xiaoyun, can I ask you for a request?" Ren Xi asked.
"Sure, as long as I can help it." Xiaoyun replied.
"We were just wondering if you can provide security for us. W-We can offer foods as paynt." Ren Xi asked.
"You town or the other two a well?" Xiaoyun asked."All three of our town. They had planning to rge with us after losing so much people."
"Sure, we can do that. If you are in trouble, you can co to us. We don't need your food paynt. We on——"
"Want people as workers right?" Ren Xi replied.
"Yes, just redirect the extra people like the black tiger gangs when they ask to join you guys. Just send them to us. You know where we are located." Xiaoyun offer his condition.
"Deal, we will send the people that get here to your place." Ren Xi offer a handshake.
"Deal then." Xiaoyun accepted the handshake.

After arriving back to the town, the soldiers passed out the rule book of the town and their cabin number alongside so food stamps.
"I really didn't expect you to capture the entire gangs like that." Yiming looked surprised how the scouting mission had turned out.
"I didn't expect it either. Anyway its a lot less work now." Xiaoyun replied.
"How are you planning to deal with the black tiger gang?" Yiming asked.
"Just treat them as normal citizens. They are just survivors that haven't done any major wrongdoing or anythings."
"I guess..." Yiming seem a little hesitant but accepted it anyway.
"I'm going to go back to the office now, you and Yezi can resu back to the rescue missions... Also try to look for more trucks and buses. We really need more transportation." Yiming nodded in agreent to Xiaoyun's request.
"See ya." Xiaoyun waved goodbye and left the training field.

As Xiaoyun went back into the office, it was just about to be the end of the shift.
"You finished with the work outside?" Yuqi asked as she carried her baby in the other ard.
"Yeah, it ended a lot faster than I expected. I can go back to the office full ti now if you want." Xiaoyun suggested.
"Nah, I don't think I need you to work here anymore. Nami is a great assistant and there isn't much work for to do anymore as you described." Yuqi replied back.
"Yuqi isn't wrong, there just isn't much work to do anymore beside just checking the numbers and making few decisions. There wouldn't be much point for you to stay here." Nami added.
"Fine, I'll go back to the training field tomorrow since my wives clearly don't want anymore." Xiaoyun replied sarcastically as he sat down on the chair.
"Whatever you say." Yuqi and Nami ignored Xiaoyun's response.
After sitting there for few more minutes, the shift ended and all three went back ho after picking up Lily as usual.
"Welco back." Yueyue opened the door and gave a hug to Xiaoyun.
"How's work today?" Leyan asked as she hugged next.
"Pretty easy, the Black Tiger gang was more of a survivor groups that didn't have any threats. They only had bows and quickly surrender after seeing the guns we had." Xiaoyun replied back as he follow the two to dining table.
"That good to hear. Anyway let's eat now."
Everyone sat down on the dining table and started eating.
As the six ate dinner, suddenly three of the baby started crying at the sa ti from the living room.
The three left out the dining table to check.
"Nami you still sure you want a baby? It's a lot of work." Xiaoyun warned.
"I-I still want to..." Nami hesitated for a second, but still went through with it.
"Whatever, but after this, I'm not ever doing it again. I really don't ever want more kids." Xiaoyun sounded much more determined this ti.
"That's if you can hold it." Leyan replied as the three ca back with their baby in their arms still suckling on their pairs.
"Of course I can, I'll just use protection this ti. I swear I won't make the sa mistake." Xiaoyun argued back.
"You better." Leyan doesn't seem trust Xiaoyun's word.
"Anyway let's go back to eating." Xiaoyun tried to change the conversation.

April soon past fast, with may rolling around the corner.
Nami's wedding was put on pause as everything beca busy and Nami wanted to do it at the end of may instead.
The city was now approaching eight thousands as the rescue team save more and more people. Even so survivor that had traveled all the way from a different cit.
All of them having heard about the town from traders that had traded with Xiaoyun's town. Combined with the occasional people that joined from the countryside, it was rapidly growing at a insane pace.
Suddenly, Yuqi's ordered the storage rooms to refuse handing over the ammo supplies produced in the factory to the soldiers.
When Yiming and Yezi complained to Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun went over to Yuqi to ask why.
Yuqi suddenly raised a concern to Xiaoyun as he asked.
"We really need to stop expanding and set a limit to our town... or I should call it city at this point." Yuqi asked.
"Why? We still have space to expand and the zoning is perfectly fine right?" Xiaoyun looked confused by Yuqi's statent.
"Well, the city can't handle the sewage and the garbage. Not to ntion the people walking in the road has been practically beca a traffic jams.
We need to either set up a completely separate zones that people can't travel to. With its only administrative district and everything. That's the only way to reduce the foot traffic to here.
Ideally, we set up another city or base at an another place. Ten thousand is going to be the max cap we can hold without completely collapsing." Yuqi suggested.
"Oh... you're right. I should of thought of that... Where do you think we should set it up?" Xiaoyun asked.
"I haven't figure that out yet... it's a very long plan that need a lot of planning... Especially a new administrative building. It has to be soone that we can trust and had worked a long ti." Yuqi explained.
