I Have A City In An Alternate World

Chapter 4386: The city as home (1)

“That’s great! From today onwards, we’ll have a new house!”

A woman shouted, her face full of joy.

She had three sons and two daughters, and they all lived in a dilapidated thatched house. Not only was it leaking, but it also didn’t have a complete bed.

When they went to bed at night or when it rained to lower the temperature, the whole family could only gather together, trembling.

Her biggest dream was to have a big house that could shelter her from the wind and rain.

He had always thought that this was just a dream, but he did not expect it to become a reality.

The woman cheered and led her children to jump and jump. The joy quickly spread to the crowd.

Everyone laughed and their faces were filled with anticipation for a good day.

The living environment here was simply too good. The room-like cave had a huge brick bed.

He reached out and touched it. It was warm and comfortable to lie on.

Such a magical performance was indeed worthy of being the work of an immortal.

At the entrance of the house, there was a movable stone slab that could block the entrance with a light push.

Such a sturdy door gave people a sense of security at first glance.

He thought about how it would be very comfortable to lie on the Kang after a busy day.

As they imagined such a scene, everyone’s heart was filled with even more anticipation, and they couldn’t wait to move their homes over right now.

Under Tang Zhen’s lead, everyone arrived at the exit that led to the outside world.

The structure of the exit was very strange. At first glance, it looked like the exit of a city gate, and two carriages could pass through it side by side.

There was a huge rock embedded in the hole. It was a meter thick and could seal the city gate like a sliding door.

The gap was so tight that even a blade could not fit in.

Looking at the size of this huge rock, it was at least a hundred tons in weight, but it could be easily pushed from the inside.

To open it from the outside was harder than ascending to the heavens.

There were also traps and soldiers inside the gate to attack the enemies who rushed in.

Such an exquisite setup was definitely not something that could be done by human hands.

A group of residents clicked their tongues in wonder, not understanding what was going on. Only Tang Zhen knew the truth.

The city gate was controlled by a special magnet, which made it feel as light as if it was weightless. The internal structure of the stone gate was ingenious, and it had wonderful uses at critical moments.

Although he knew the principle, there was no need to explain it to the villagers. They wouldn’t be able to understand it if he explained it too deeply.

According to Tang Zhen’s instructions, the elderly, women, and children headed to the village to collect all kinds of resources that could be used.

With the threat of the bandits, the village was no longer safe. They had to move as soon as possible.

Even without the threat of the bandits, the villagers would also move collectively. With such a good house, who would be willing to live in a leaking thatched house?

The men did not return. Instead, they followed Tang Zhen back to the central courtyard and saw a pile of weapons and equipment placed in the backyard.

Tang Zhen used his remaining silver to buy some swords, bows, and crossbows, as well as a dozen sets of leather armors.

This was a weapon prepared for the villagers for them to practice and try to transform from farmers to soldiers.

When the time was right, Tang Zhen would buy some skill Jade plates and let them become true martial artists.

Of course, before that, one needed to go through basic training. One must first have the corresponding virtue to be able to withstand the sudden opportunity.

Otherwise, it would be a disaster, not a blessing.

There was another reason. Tang Zhen was currently short of money and was unable to buy more things.

He used the remaining silver to buy an automatic rifle to deal with the mountain bandits.

Although Tang Zhen had never used a rifle since he was young, he felt a deep sense of familiarity when he held it in his hand.

Using such a weapon would definitely cause heavy damage to the mountain bandits.

Tang Zhen didn’t tell the villagers that he wouldn’t passively wait for the enemy to attack. Instead, he was prepared to take the initiative to attack the enemy.

It wasn’t just to reduce the risk, but also to participate in actual combat and obtain some wealth from the bandits.

The mountain bandits would definitely have a certain amount of gold and silver reserves when they robbed, which was extremely attractive to Tang Zhen.

When he made up his mind, Tang Zhen’s mood was very calm, as if this was a very normal thing.

This also caused Tang Zhen to be secretly shocked. He had clearly not killed a chicken before. Why was he so calm when it came to killing people?

It seemed like he had more secrets than he had imagined.

The villagers who received the weapons became more and more excited. They gathered together and kept gesturing and studying.

A weapon made of hundred-time refined steel was not something that could be bought with money. It could only be obtained through special channels.

For these poor villagers who couldn’t even afford a vegetable knife, every weapon could be regarded as a family heirloom.

But now, there was a pile of them, and everyone could get one.

Tang Zhen told everyone that from today onwards, they would be training from morning to night.

He didn’t need to farm, and he wouldn’t be hungry either.

He could take some time to take care of the cultivated land. If he didn’t have time, he could give up.

The group of farmers obviously couldn’t accept this arrangement. Leaving the grain in the field without care was simply a sin of being struck by lightning.

Tang Zhen didn’t talk much about this problem. There would be a solution in the future.

The villagers were not willing to accept this, mainly because they had not adapted to the change in identity. As time passed, the situation would naturally change.

According to Tang Zhen’s request, the villagers were divided into three small teams, and they were responsible for guarding the gate.

While one team was guarding the gate, the other two teams were training in the city.

Four city walls, both horizontal and vertical, each 100 meters long, encircled a large enough field.

It was definitely more than enough to train and live in the city, and it even gave people a feeling of emptiness.

In order to ensure the effective execution of the order, Tang Zhen selected a few villagers to temporarily act as the team leaders.

If they performed well, they could continue to hold the position. If they didn’t, they would be handed over to someone more capable.

A group of farmers who dug for food in the soil did not have much experience at all. They could only continue to learn and gradually grow.

Tang Zhen had a familiar feeling when he arranged these tasks. It was as if he had done something similar before.

He wanted to recall in detail, but he felt that the clouds were misty and he couldn’t remember anything at all.

According to Tang Zhen’s arrangement, one team of villagers immediately went to guard the gate, while the other two teams went to the village to assist in moving.

Tang Zhen carried an automatic rifle on his back and followed everyone to the village. Everyone was armed along the way.

Everyone was extremely curious when they saw Tang Zhen’s rifle. They were secretly guessing what kind of weapon it was.

Many of the villagers thought that this was a magical artifact bestowed by an immortal. Otherwise, how could it have such a strange shape?

Because of Tang Zhen’s order, the moving process became very easy. Other than some food and poultry, the vast majority of the junk was thrown away.

According to uncle Fu, these things were too dirty and messy. Bringing them over would definitely affect the living environment.

Since the young master had promised to distribute new daily necessities to everyone, there was no need to bring these broken things.

Although the villagers were reluctant to leave, they didn’t dare to disobey Tang Zhen and uncle Fu. They quickly returned with their respective items.

Tang Zhen led the villagers around the empty village and confirmed that they had not missed anything.

Soon, everyone returned to the city and closed the gate, leaving a few villagers to guard it.

The other villagers all took action. They chose their own houses and began to decorate them simply.

Because the room was warm enough and there was no need for bedding for the time being, Tang Zhen gave each family a straw mat.

This was the family’s original inventory, used to store food, and now it was just enough for the villagers to use to lay the Kang.

Tang Zhen also selected a few women to be responsible for Cooking for Everyone every day. He also chose a cave entrance to serve as a canteen.

In the future, there would be enough tables and chairs in this place to make it convenient for the residents of Lou Cheng to eat here.

In this cave, there was a natural source of fire. There were four natural fire spurts on the stone platform, just enough to place the pot on top.

If there was no need for a fire source, a stone slab would be enough.

There were also two stone Wells at the side with sweet spring water. After it overflowed, it flowed into a pool in the city, which was just enough for the villagers to drink and cook.

Seeing these thoughtful arrangements, the villagers once again sighed. It was said that the immortals were very thoughtful, and they had arranged everything clearly.

Only Tang Zhen smiled and did not say anything. He did not tell the residents of the tower that he had personally designed all these decorations.
