"Sister Wang!" Old Zhao recognized his neighbor walking towards them. "You look very smart!"
Sister Wang, wearing a deep purple cotton-padded jacket, straightened the hem of her coat somewhat sheepishly: "I found an old lady's coat, and it fits quite well."
Old Zhao burst into laughter.
People in the community walked in small groups, chatting and laughing, toward the designated dining area.
Along the way, Lao Zhao and his group encountered several patrols of the Fuxing Army soldiers.
These soldiers were fully armed and had sharp eyes.
But every time they looked at Lao Zhao and the others, their eyes would soften considerably.
They were completely different from the arrogant soldiers of the Chosen Ones.
Whenever they greeted the soldiers, the soldiers would always smile back and ask if they needed any help.
This feeling of being respected warmed Lao Zhao's heart.
The dining area is located in the cafeteria of a middle school.
Before even entering the door, Old Zhao could smell the long-lost aroma of food, especially the smell of meat!
This made them even more impatient!
The cafeteria was packed with people, with at least four or five hundred people eating there.
Old Zhao looked at the few diners closest to him.
Their iron plates were filled with white rice, cured meat, wild vegetables, fish pieces, and fried peanuts.
Old Zhao and the others were stunned when they saw the cured meat and fish pieces.
Although an hour earlier, the Restoration Army soldiers had told them that the food would be plentiful and that it would be self-service, so they could take as much as they wanted.
But they only thought that rice and wild vegetables would fill their stomachs.
Surprisingly, items like cured pork and fish pieces were also included!
Can we just take these things as we please?
"Young man, can I just take all these cured meats and fish pieces?" Old Li asked a young man next to him who was enjoying his meal, incredulously.
"Take as much as you want! There's plenty!" The young man, his mouth full of food and his hair still wet, mumbled, "I just finished one plate, and then I went to get a second plate of cured meat and fish. It's so delicious!"
Old Zhao and Old Li exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.
That's really true!
This is amazing!
The next second, they hurriedly went to line up to get their food.
God knows when the last time they ate meat was!
A year ago?
Or was it a year and a half ago?
When they got to the front and saw the huge bowls of cured meat and fish, Old Zhao and Old Li's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Just then, the cafeteria's loudspeaker suddenly announced:
"Fellow citizens, please take your food in moderation to avoid indigestion. Starting today, food supplies will be plentiful and available every day. There is no need to rush, and please do not overeat or choke. Good days are ahead."
Despite what the broadcast said, Lao Zhao and Lao Li still filled their plates with cured meat and fish pieces.
They hadn't eaten meat for over a year, and they really missed it!
Old Li eagerly stuffed a piece of fish into his mouth and exclaimed, "Holy crap! It's so delicious! It tastes like something out of a dream!"
Old Zhao was much calmer. He picked up a piece of cured meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.
The salty and savory flavor exploded on his tongue, and as he chewed, tears streamed down Old Zhao's face.
Respectable soldiers, clean and warm clothing, warm and comfortable housing, and such delicious food...
It's like being in heaven...
Half an hour later, Old Zhao and Old Li, their bellies bulging, slowly walked out.
Old Li patted his full stomach and sighed, "I never thought I'd be able to enjoy this day. Even if I die, it'll be worth it."
Old Zhao was just about to speak.
At that moment, a voice came from the loudspeaker hanging on the wall: "A notice is hereby issued: The Third Revival City is now recruiting personnel with management experience. Those with relevant experience are requested to go to the square for the first round of interviews..."
Old Zhao and Old Li stared blankly at the loudspeaker on the wall.
Suddenly, Old Li exclaimed, "Management experience? I used to be a deputy director, and I've managed quite a few people and a lot of things. Old Zhao, you're also a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. We're a good match, right?"
Old Zhao suddenly became animated and said, "Of course! The Third Fuxing City is newly built and everything needs to be rebuilt! There will definitely be many new departments, and our past experience might help us get the jobs!"
"Then let's hurry up and leave!"
Half an hour later, Lao Zhao and Lao Li passed the first round of interviews.
An hour later, Lao Zhao and Lao Li arrived at the city lord's mansion.
An hour and a half later, Lao Zhao and Lao Li were successfully hired.
Old Zhao became the head of the security section of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Third Fuxing City.
Old Li became the secretary of the administrative office of the Third Fuxing City Lord's Mansion.
The same incident involving Lao Zhao and Lao Li also happened to nearly 200,000 residents of the Third Fuxing City.
More and more talented people are being discovered and continue to strive for the rejuvenation of China.
Everything in the Third Revitalization City is proceeding in an orderly manner!
This city has been completely reborn.
Nearly 200,000 people in this city have been completely reborn!
......
3 PM.
Unlike the jubilant Chinese people in the inner city, a heavily guarded industrial park in the southern part of the Third Revival City was under strict security.
Nearly nine thousand Westerners were gathered in several large open areas.
Those who once swaggered around in Tianxuan City were now all deathly pale, their eyes filled with terror.
Their ultimate fate awaits.
Not far in front of them, there were eight piles of corpses, each more than ten meters high!
It was enormous!
Each pile of corpses was made up entirely of Westerners!
Those were all former members of the Chosen Ones or soldiers of the Chosen Ones.
Those were once their friends and brothers.
But at this moment, the corpses of nearly 10,000 people formed these eight piles of corpses.
This scene was enough to terrify any of them!
More than twenty pillars were erected on the temporary platform.
Lu Qi walked up, took the microphone, and said coldly, "Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, Adam and a group of evil Chosen Ones will be executed on time. You still have some time to confess and plead your innocence. If you cannot prove your innocence in this time, then don't blame us."
After saying that, he turned to his men and said, "Bring Adam, Lucas, and the others over here."
"yes!"
Soon, Adam, whose hands and feet had been cut off, and all the high-ranking members of the Chosen Church were brought to the high platform.
Lu Qi's men tied them all to those pillars.
Seeing that the once high-ranking Bishop Adam and other high-ranking members of the Chosen Church had all become such a miserable state.
The thousands of people in the audience felt a chill run down their spines, making them feel completely cold inside and out.
That was a truly heartbreaking feeling!
When Adam saw the eight large piles of corpses, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He cried out in anger and terror, "You are all devils! Heaven will not forgive you!"
Lu Qi sneered, "Now you know how to say that? Compared to your brutality, ours is child's play! We even gave the thousands of people here a chance to live!"
