Chapter 68, Something Happened
The arrival of the Space Marines did not actually have much impact on the Governor's camp.
Even the people in the wasteland have heard of the name of the Emperor's Angels. In the past, before the planet was destroyed, these stories were a popular and enduring theme, appearing in text and visual images. In the post-war era, these things are of course gone, but the thing called "story" itself will still exist. The older generation tells stories to the younger generation, and then passes them on to the next generation...
This makes the people under the Governor's command curious when they see the Space Marines, and they can't help but always look at them.
But it is also the characteristic of wastelanders that they are sensitive and timid about danger.
They only dared to watch from afar, and even dared not look too boldly or directly, so as not to anger these giants who could kill them with a single slap.
And the Space Marines... to be honest, they are really used to this kind of gaze.
As for the impact on camp development…
To be honest, there is a little bit.
Here in Gu Hang, the development of productivity has always had a huge manpower gap. Now, apart from other supply needs, an engineering team has to be allocated to build houses for the Space Marines.
The key point is that these Space Marines took this very seriously and simply lived next door and supervised the work directly, not daring to cut corners even a little bit.
The large quantities of alloy steel, cement, and bricks were to be delivered to them for use. The materials were of the best quality, but the Space Marines were still not satisfied until they were convinced that these were indeed the best quality materials that could be produced in the Governor's Camp.
However, overall, this impact is still within the range that Gu Hang can accept.
Just think of it as hiring seven strong men and paying them the employment fee.
Apart from attracting attention, slightly slowing down the development of the Governor's Camp, and occupying some manpower and resources, their presence is very low. Every day, apart from watching the construction site, they pray and train, and their days are like those of ascetics.
Later, they seemed to feel a little embarrassed to be doing nothing all day, since at least they were supposed to assist in the battle. They began to enter the alien jungle in batches to fight the mutant monsters.
This is definitely to defend the Governor's cause, not because he is bored after not seeing blood for a long time!
However, the monsters in the woods cannot satisfy the Space Marines.
Before, although there were no high-level monsters in the alien forest, there were still quite a few of them. But after the ambush plan of the original wrathful owl sect on Gu Hang last time, a certain catalytic method was activated, which caused a large number of hatching nests to be born in advance, and a large number of monsters emerged and were eliminated. After that, the number of monsters in the alien forest became very small, and there were not even many hatching nests.
This made the Space Marines want to practice and find the feeling of killing again, but it was not satisfying enough.
But soon, their place came in handy.
…
When the phoenixes were doing nothing, Gu Hang returned to his work of worrying about the development of the camp.
The total population of the camp has officially exceeded 10,000 these days.
Ossena's arrangements for various production plans and population distribution were not particularly perfect, but at least they were well organized, and Gu Hang did not have much room for direct intervention.
There was a political officer with a political point of 9, who handled the camp of 10,000 people quite well.
With just a little attention and without worrying too much, he saw that the monthly income of his subordinates was steadily increasing and had now reached 61 points.
I will try to make over 100 yuan when the 'salary' is paid next month!
At the same time, it was also during this period that he selected and recruited more than one hundred soldiers from the newly arrived refugees, together with the five hundred troops that Lambert had brought before, who originally belonged to the Hodgson family and whose command and ownership had been completely transferred to the governor, to form two infantry battalions.
That is, the 5th Battalion and the 6th Battalion.
These six hundred soldiers have all been trained and strengthened by Gu Hang using the system function. This means that Gu Hang has spent 6 points of grace, but it also means that the troops under his command have reached more than 1,700 people.
As a precaution, Gu Hang replaced and reassigned most of the officers of the two battalions. A considerable number of soldiers were also reorganized with the previous 2nd, 3rd, and 4th battalions.
The mixed troops have been trying their best to get rid of the influence of the original command system. After the reorganization, even if Lambert has ulterior motives, it is of no use to the troops, and it is unlikely that he will call on the troops to turn against their side in the middle of the battle.
Of course, based on the contact during this period, Gu Hang initially believed that the two people from the Hodgson family, one old and one young, should be sincere in their cooperation. But despite this, one must be on guard against others, and it was also reasonable for Gu Hang to take some precautions.
Lambert had no objection to this. He even had no objection to the fact that he had lost his military power and was thrown by Gu Hang to do odd jobs under the young Ossena. He worked diligently and won praise from Ossena.
He understood that his identity would indeed cause the Governor to misunderstand and be on guard, but he was determined to prove his loyalty in the long future with his attitude and everything he did.
Gu Hang was satisfied with this.
The young man is very sensible.
His grandfather also got involved.
It would be difficult to increase the population in the camp without cooperation from Fuxing City.
In addition, most of the goods in the Governor's Camp, except for those consumed internally, were sold well in Renaissance City. The purchase of food, minerals, and other consumer goods was also relatively smooth.
During this period, Denison Henry felt that this business was too easy.
But today, Lambert came to see Gu Hang in a panic and told Gu Hang some bad news.
“I can’t get in touch with my grandpa.”
Gu Hang frowned: "Be more specific."
"This morning, I made a routine contact with Fuxing City, but failed. It wasn't that no one answered, but the line was completely disconnected. I realized that something was wrong and tried to connect to other wireless communication lines of the family, but the situation was similar; I also contacted some people who have a good relationship with our family. None of them knew what happened, but they told me that Fuxing City was under martial law and prohibited the poor from the outer city from entering the city..."
Gu Hang narrowed his eyes.
"That's terrible news... It sounds like something may have happened, Mr. Hodgson."
"I beg you to save him!"
