The world is a wasteland (a rebuilt world after an apocalyptic event caused by insurmountable forces like machinery, plague, and disaster). Many settings are original, with the background world bei...

Winter has been here for almost a month, and the temperature outside has dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius. Even those who were once resistant to the elements have now chosen to enter the territory. Qin Territory has the best reputation, and those who come here are grateful for their choice every day they spend here.
Choice is more important than effort. Seeing people struggling in other territories and towns, they couldn't help but feel fortunate.
"Hey, what are you dawdling for! We finish work at five in the winter. Although we don't encourage overtime, this task is assigned by the higher-ups and must be completed today. There will be an inspection tomorrow or the day after!" Building houses is the most important thing in winter. The construction of houses is rushed, and the working hours are different from others. Three shifts of people work in shifts every day, day and night. But in the end, everyone only works eight hours. The construction site is hiring the most people recently.
The benefits are good, meals are provided, although accommodation is not provided, but living in a dormitory-style room doesn't cost much. It only costs one silver coin a month, plus water and electricity, so the expenses are not high and you can even save some money.
Good heavens! If someone had told them that they could work, eat and drink normally, and even save money in winter, he would definitely not have believed it before and would have spat on them for talking nonsense. But now he's all smiles all day long.
"Ugh, I'm coming right away. I drank too much water, and on winter days, especially when it's snowing or raining, I... well, I'm particularly prone to needing to pee!"
"Look at you, kid. It's not like you'll die from drinking a little less while you're at work. In winter, you get an hour off for every eight hours of work, so you only work seven hours in total. You've already spent more than ten minutes running to the toilet! If the foreman isn't happy, he'll fire you!"
"Oh no, that won't do! I won't drink any water starting tomorrow. I won't drink a drop in the morning, I'll only drink it when I get off work. But please don't kick me out!" The man panicked immediately. Where could he find such a fantastic job? Where could he find such a territory? He now listened to everything the territory said. Every day after work, he would check the notices and listen to the territory's broadcasts. He used to dislike reading those few sheets of paper filled with rules, but now he memorized them one by one, afraid of making a single mistake and being expelled from the territory—that would be something he would regret to the core!
The territory posted a notice yesterday that they are recruiting a new batch of workers, and there is a referral fee for referring people. He has been thinking about it all day.
"Hey, Brother Niu, can I introduce my parents to me? They're having such a hard time in Chaotic City right now. They can't even afford a bite to eat every day. I only managed to get them some food a few days ago because I've been earning some money!"
Giving money is unlikely, as I'm afraid of being robbed. Giving food will solve the problem; it's not a big deal.
However, he had only been in the territory for a short time and was worried that others might not trust the person he recommended. He wanted Brother Niu to help him make an introduction.
If that doesn't work, he thought he could try harder. Since the territory isn't cold, he could eat, drink, and wear less, but if he went out once a week to bring more food and clothes for his parents and younger sister, he could barely survive the winter. He was just afraid of accidents. Of course, it would be even better if he could get in.
He stared longingly at Brother Niu.
“You’ve come in, but your parents and little sister are outside. You should bring them in with you.”
"Okay, I'll take you to HR after get off work to ask. I remember your family members all have a skill, right?"
Little Tiger showed his sharp teeth.
"Yes, my parents and my sister are all very capable in their respective fields. Don't worry, Brother Niu, if we can get a job here, we will definitely do our best! We will never embarrass you or anger the lords of the territory!"
There are several lords in the territory. The head lord is not always seen. The lord's seal can only be seen at the notice board when there is an important event.
Secondly, there is Lord Sid. Lord Sid is the commander of the thousands of armed forces in the entire territory, and he is also responsible for any matters that the other leaders cannot handle.
Next came personnel matters. Above ground, a new fox butler was appointed, and underground, a rabbit butler was appointed. Following that were the heads of various job positions.
These are the adults of the territory, but fortunately, these leaders of the territory do not exploit people like other territories.
Because of the large number of people entering the territory recently, the personnel have been divided into two shifts. The morning shift is responsible for normal management and allocation work, while the evening shift is responsible for registering the people who have entered.
Yes, everyone who wants to enter the territory can only register after the territory opens at 5 PM and will close at 8 PM. During these three hours, everyone who wants to enter the territory can register to enter.
"The lord said that the territory cannot be opened at any time. This is to ensure the safety of the people in the territory. Please wait outside for a while. You will be allowed in when the time comes!"
Two days ago, Xiao Huzi went to fight for job opportunities for his parents and sister. Afterwards, he immediately braved the wind and snow to go out overnight to tell his parents to go back to work.
"I'm going to work now. I'll bring you food at noon! Remember the rules of your territory that I gave you, and familiarize yourself with them first. If you make a good impression on HR, the chances of being assigned tasks well will be higher!"
It was early morning, and the iron gate of the territory was already crowded with people. The news that had been circulating for the past month or two, as well as the people who had already entered, were constantly proving that Qin Territory was different from other territories. As long as you entered, you would have food, lodging, and work. As long as you worked a little hard, you would definitely have enough to eat.
For ordinary people, just being able to work hard enough to have enough to eat is already a great satisfaction.
"Don't crowd here at the entrance. Line up according to the marked lines. No cutting in line is allowed. Anyone caught cutting in line will be expelled!" The security personnel were all tall and muscular, nearly two meters tall and weighing almost two hundred pounds. They carried weapons and looked quite intimidating. Others dared not crowd at the entrance and retreated to their positions to line up. They did not complain at all, but instead looked on with envy. Such strength represented the power of this territory.
