Osena looked around, and saw a large construction site.

The Doge's domain, the 'land of salvation' that the good man proclaimed, seemed to be different from what she had imagined.

After the end of last winter, Osena's hometown, known to the people of Fuxing City as the 'Southern Provinces', erupted in a massive wave of mutant monsters.

It was a great catastrophe, and many of the settlements were completely destroyed.

It's hard to survive until the wave of mutant monsters passes, but it doesn't mean that the disaster has subsided.

I didn't have time to sow seeds in the spring, and because I spent a winter, because I fought against alien monsters...... All these factors have caused people to lose a lot of food stocks. Hunger and shortages of supplies are rife in the southern provinces.

What will people who can't survive do?

will turn into a demon.

Osena and her younger brother originally lived a very good life. The southern provinces have relatively fertile land and are less affected by waste-energy storms, so many of the agglomerations here can make a living from agriculture. As a matter of fact, the southern provinces were originally very important grain producing areas, and hundreds of thousands of people in Fuxing City, including the inner city and the outer city, mainly relied on grain imported from the south.

Osena's father was a plantation owner. Before it all collapsed, their family's plantations had a population of tens of thousands, and when they were in good production, they not only fed everyone, but also had plenty of wealth to sell for industrial goods.

As you can imagine, Osena's standard of living is like a little princess, far surpassing the vast majority of people in this wasteland

But it all collapsed at the turn of spring and summer.

a very large number of raiders from outside, besieging the plantations; Then there was a riot inside.

Protected by guards, the family tried to break through and escape the plantation at the last minute. Those who tried to escape were also many people who did not participate in the riots.

But in the midst of the chaos, she was separated from her father.

Incognito, plastering faces, cutting hair......

She took her younger brother and followed the ranks of the displaced people, and suddenly arrived at Fuxing City.

In the middle, she has suffered too much.

For a bite to eat, she is willing to do anything, even a little bit of work, in exchange for a little food, that is enough. What's more, to beg, to bite and fight, to steal, to cheat......

Before everything collapsed, she was taught to be a good lady, and she never thought she would look like this.

But she persevered.

In the past few months, she has been faint from hunger, and her brother, who is just in his early teens, is malnourished.

But at least, they're all alive.

It's just that she often gets confused.

If you haven't seen the good, you may be able to sink in the darkness forever. But a few months ago, she was a little princess, the jewel of her father's palm, and she worries every day about the appraisal and restoration of pre-war artworks purchased at a high price, and helping her father manage the manor and calculate the accounts.

Right now, she's hesitant about what to eat tomorrow.

What's more, there is no end to such a life, there is no hope, and there is no light.

She felt like she couldn't hold on.

She has thought more than once that living in such a bad world, is it actually easier to die?

But every time she saw her brother's eyes, she would stuff this thought back again, and then gritted her teeth and continued to suffer.

Strange to say, in the past, she was not very close to her brother, who was seven years younger than herself, and even often found this naughty little devil really annoying.

However, in the past few months, she would rather die with her younger brother, and once when her brother was abducted, she bit him like crazy, and her head was beaten and she did not let go.

She didn't know why, she only knew that whoever dared to be unfavorable to her only remaining relatives now, she would fight with whomever she wanted.

But she still sadly understood that they were going to die.

The impact of the chaos in the southern provinces was enormous. The lack of food imports has caused the price of food in Fuxing City to continue to rise. With odd jobs, it became increasingly difficult for her to feed herself and her brother.

More recently, worse news came: the biggest grain merchant in Fuxing City was said to have disappeared. Immediately after that, urban food prices became more volatile.

At this time, a merchant opened a free porridge shop in the slum outside Fuxing City.

Anyone can get a hot porridge in the porridge shop, provided that they listen to the declaration made by Mr. Gu Hang, the governor of the planet, on the first day of coming to the wasteland.

She got into a fight with someone before she took her brother to grab a spot.

The so-called Governor's Proclamation was very long, and she only wanted to read a few words and hurry up for dinner, and she couldn't remember much about what the Governor's proclamation said.

There was only one sentence she remembered clearly: the governor would make it possible for everyone who submitted to him to live a good life.

The next day, when the porridge shop was still open, she came again. But this time he was told that those who had eaten once were not allowed to eat again, unless they were willing to follow the caravan to the Governor's camp and become a subject of the Governor.

Without much hesitation, she pressed her handprint on the paper.

After waiting for a few days, when the caravan departed, she arrived here with her brother.

It is true that life compels us to follow the caravan to the Governor's camp, but why not change the situation and seek some light and hope?

She thought she would see a city that was doing well, but instead she saw a large expanse of dust. There are quite a few simple concrete buildings that have been built, but many more are still under construction.

However, looking at the construction of the entire camp, at least there should be no shortage of job opportunities.

But with such a small body, can you be a construction worker?

Osena, who had a messy head and didn't know what the future would hold, took her brother's hand and followed the arrangement of the team to the registration place.

When it was her turn, the person who registered asked for some basic information.

Name, age, what are you good at, what do you want to do......

She replied as it was.

"Huh?" The person who registered on the other side suddenly said, "Are you literate? ”

"Uh...... Be. ”

"That's great!" The man was overjoyed, "Go to that table and fill out another form, congratulations, you're going to get a good deal." ”

Osena is confused about the past.

At that table, there was no one left.

She filled out a form and was assigned two jobs: working as a clerk for the soon-to-be-established textile mill during the day, arranging and executing production plans, counting production results, and managing production processes......

The second job was to work as a teacher in a night school literacy class.

The content of the work made her feel a lot more relieved. This is what she really does best, and when she was at the estate, she would help her father with some of the management work. Although I was in agricultural production management at that time, and now I work as a clerk in a textile factory, I am better at it than doing manual work by myself.

Especially after hearing the treatment, she was even more moved.

According to the calculation of the division of work, the ration of materials she can obtain every day is more than enough to support herself and her younger brother, and she can save a lot.

Although everything is incomparable to when she was a little princess in the past, it is the only light she has seen in the months of displacement.
