The convoy returned to the City of Dawn, and after watching the stunned expressions of the people for a while, Xiao Fan clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention.
"First of all, welcome to the City of Dawn. Just like in Yanshan, as long as you work here, you can have a good life. Your main task now is to harvest the crops before winter comes. We need to fill up the granaries as much as possible. My people will teach you how to use the harvesters to improve efficiency."
Xiao Zhenyuan asked, "Little Fan, where are we going to live?"
"For now, you'll be staying in the construction sheds. We'll be setting up some prefabricated houses here soon. Once we get through the winter, we'll start building permanent housing next year."
In the residential area of the City of Dawn, many prefabricated steel materials collected from building material markets were already piled up, making it very convenient to set up the prefabricated houses.
The people from Yanshan Town, who may have been a bit anxious before, were now smiling brightly.
This city was simply too miraculous and too impressive.
Living here, looking at the towering city walls outside, one felt an unparalleled sense of security.
It was just harvesting crops, it was just setting up prefabricated houses, no big deal.
Just as Xiao Fan was nervously arranging for everyone, Xin Xiaodi came over with Xiao Tian.
No one knew what had happened, but Xiao Tian had become close friends with Xin Xiaodi, and the two had a good relationship.
"Brother, arrange a place for me to stay. I want to live with Sister Xiaodi."
Xiao Fan glanced at the two, "I've arranged a place for you to stay, but why do you want to be with her?"
"Sister Xiaodi is very nice and beautiful, and isn't she going to work for you too?"
Xiao Tian moved closer to Xiao Fan, "Big brother, what job did you arrange for Sister Xiaodi? One day I saw her practicing something with a cucumber, but she wouldn't tell me what it was when I asked. Can you tell me?"
Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xiao Fan looked at Xin Xiaodi gratefully.
This woman had indeed understood his intention and knew that he wanted her to be a broadcaster. In the absence of a microphone, she had actually been practicing with a cucumber as a substitute. Truly an insightful young lady.
Xiao Fan called Xin Xiaodi over, "Since you've been practicing for so long, I'll give you a chance to showcase your skills in public later."
"In... public?" Xin Xiaodi could hardly believe her ears.
"Yes, in public, and make sure the whole of Yunzhou knows about it."
Xin Xiaodi felt a dark cloud looming over her, and her heart turned cold.
What strange hobby did this warlord-like man have?
She didn't want to agree, but she didn't dare refuse either, leaving her in a difficult position.
Seeing Xin Xiaodi's hesitation, Xiao Fan frowned slightly, "What's wrong? Do you think you can only host in front of a camera and not broadcast over the radio?"
"Ah! You... you... you mean let me be a broadcaster?" Xin Xiaodi was dumbfounded.
"Yes, for now we only have radio broadcasting equipment, no television towers or television station broadcasting facilities. So your previous job won't be needed for the time being. But don't worry, I'll have people collect the necessary equipment as soon as possible. I'm aiming to establish our City of Dawn TV station before New Year's Day, and then you can resume your previous work."
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xin Xiaodi didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Xiao Fan's communications officer came over and handed her the radio communications equipment.
Xiao Fan also asked her to prepare a script immediately, and the communications officer introduced her to the basic situation of the City of Dawn. Her task was to use the radio broadcast to attract a group of survivors to join them.
Xin Xiaodi worked quickly, and by the next morning, her broadcast script was ready.
After adjusting the communications equipment, the broadcast began to be transmitted across the city.
Xin Xiaodi's gentle voice rang out, and anyone monitoring the radio broadcasts in Yunzhou could hear this voice through the airwaves.
Since radio uses wireless technology, the power outage had no immediate impact on broadcasting.
As long as their vehicles could still start, as long as their batteries were still functioning, they could receive the radio signal.
"This is the City of Dawn, this is the City of Dawn."
"I am Xin Xiaodi, a host from the provincial news station. Good morning, everyone."
"It's been a long time, my dear listeners. I'm so glad to be able to meet you all again in this way during these dark days..."
At that moment, Xin Xiaodi's identity as a television host immediately drew widespread attention from the people.
In the early morning, many people wanted to learn about any new information through the radio broadcasts. Those who were scanning the frequencies would stop involuntarily when they heard Xin Xiaodi's voice.
Her status as a host from the provincial TV station sparked endless imagination among the people.
Did this mean the government had emerged?
Otherwise, how could there be a provincial TV station host broadcasting?
People tuned in to this frequency and listened quietly to what followed.
"First of all, I want to congratulate you all for being able to listen to this broadcast now. At the very least, we are still alive, and as long as we're alive, there is hope."
"Every one of us has suffered tremendously during this period, including myself. I've been terrified, I've fled, I even spent a month living in the sewers."
"Sewage, stinking water, mosquitoes, maggots, rats... outside, the zombies were howling, and hunger was constantly testing your nerves. That period of time is something I never want to look back on."
"But luckily I didn't give up, so I had the chance to be rescued and come to our beautiful City of Dawn."
"Our City of Dawn is located at the foot of the Xing'an Mountain Range, here at latitude XXXX and longitude XXXX, at the Yunzhou Leaning Mountain Farm. The city is fully protected by 15-meter-high walls surrounding it. We can live happily and securely here without worrying about being eaten by zombies at any moment."
"We have a strong armed force to protect us, the beautiful Haoyuan River flows right through our city, we have an endless water supply and abundant food, and our leader Xiao Fan is a kind and charming young man."
"The City of Dawn welcomes other survivors to join us, and welcomes anyone who loves to work hard."
"Oh, and let me share a little secret with you all here. Our leader Xiao Fan may have the blood of a dragon flowing through his veins, because he particularly loves collecting gold, silver and jewels. If you bring gold and silver when you come, Xiao Fan will even be willing to compensate you with various supplies."
"I'm Xin Xiaodi, and I'll be waiting for you at the City of Dawn!"
The broadcast ended with a soothing melody.
In her words, Xin Xiaodi described a beautiful, prosperous, peaceful and tranquil place, making people yearn to go there.
After listening, Xiao Fan was very satisfied as well. Xin Xiaodi had a high level of recognition in the province, which was an advantage.
He believed it wouldn't be long before survivors started arriving one after another.
However, there was also a downside to this approach - it went against the current policies of the Survivors' Alliance.
The Alliance wanted to tax everyone, but Xiao Fan dared to openly recruit people, which would undoubtedly enrage the Alliance leadership.
But Xiao Fan didn't care. He and the Survivors' Alliance were never on the same path to begin with, so they could never see eye to eye.
The communications officer casually adjusted the radio frequency, and suddenly the voice of the Survivors' Alliance broadcaster came through.
"This is the Yunzhou Film and Television City Base, emergency notice, emergency notice!"
"Just last night, our Alliance tax officials were robbed by a group of foreign armed forces on their way back to the Film City Base. All their supplies were taken, and only a few tax officials managed to escape after bravely fighting back."
"Alliance Chairman Song Beifeng expressed strong condemnation and concern over this incident, and warned those foreign armed groups that Yunzhou is not a place where they can run amok. Such barbaric acts are doomed to self-destruction!"
"Based on the location of the crime scene, this group of foreign bandits has been active in an area ranging from the City of Dawn base in the south to the Film and Television City Base in the north. Alliance Chairman Song Beifeng has demanded that Xiao Fan, the leader of the City of Dawn, must unconditionally cooperate with the Alliance to arrest these bandits and bring them to justice....."
