Wasteland Border Inspector-Chapter 330 - 137: The Migration Tide Arrives, the Landscape Transforms
It’s just that the lyrics and melody differ from modern tunes, probably a unique song of this world.
When he finished understanding the basic situation and got in the car, it was exactly six-thirty.
Master Zhang started the vehicle and drove towards the South Inspection Station. Between the music pauses on the radio, a gentle and sweet female voice began to speak.
[Dear residents of Happiness City, good morning mimiya!]
[This is the Happiness City morning radio station, here with you promptly at six-thirty every day. I’m Little Sun, who has applied three coats of lipstick yet still feels it’s not sweet enough, here to greet everyone full of energy again～]
[Here’s some super exciting news! A large number of new residents are heading to our Happiness City. A long queue has already formed outside the Happiness Defense Line in the Buffer Zone. Little Sun peeked out the window and wow, it’s a massive crowd! New friends, welcome, welcome to Happiness City. We’ll be one big happy family from now on～]
[Rest assured, Happiness City has been well-prepared in advance! We’re not only offering new neighbors the hope of scoring 99 out of 100, but also adding that extra 1 point of overwhelming belonging. Coming up next, Little Sun solemnly announces the latest arrangements for new residents from Happiness City. Little mouth, don’t talk, little ears, perk up and listen carefully～]
[1. We’re building a new fence for Happiness City! The existing Happiness Defense Line will take this opportunity to expand, expand, expand. Yes, it’s the expansion plan proposed by Vice City Lord Yuan in the 30th year of the New Era. Happiness City is seizing this autumn to work hard and open up enough space to accommodate a million people at once. Just thinking about it is exciting! By then, our home will slowly expand like a balloon, maybe even feeling like you’re crossing provincial borders during a morning run～]
[2. The construction of the Outer City is a great benefit for all residents! Happiness City will provide ample, completely free building materials to construct a large community for at least a million people. Moreover, these communities have fully equipped support facilities including schools, medical points, nearby factories, and all the living necessities you can think of, all perfectly arranged to ensure comfortable and convenient living!]
[3. Let’s talk about the material distribution details that concern everyone. Starting today, the price of nutrient paste will revert to 2 Happiness Coins per bag! We’ve set up 75 distribution points within the planned area of the Outer District, where each new resident, upon showing their ID, can receive 15 bags of nutrient paste for free, so you’ll never have to worry about food here...]
[4. The details of construction and settlement are here too. From today onwards, residents can apply to settle in the Outer City or temporarily stay in the Buffer Zone. Note that if you choose to settle in the Outer City, you will be automatically allocated housing once the Outer City is completed.
The designated area is: no less than 45 square meters per person, and no less than 75 square meters per family. If the household has more than six people, an additional 10 square meters will be provided per extra person. You can also apply for the familiar proximity principle, settling your home in the same community as friends, how delightful to think about becoming neighbors!]
[5. Regarding job opportunities, from today onwards, all departments will open their doors waiting for everyone to join, from community management, material distribution, facility maintenance, to basic construction... the positions are simply countless. Whether you’re an experienced professional or a newbie eager to learn new skills, you can find a suitable spot, with excellent benefits, and also meet lots of new friends while working～] 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Little Sun’s broadcast continued in a leisurely tone.
After the Fog Cave erupted, Cheng Ye listened twice too, both times feeling a bit impatient with the sluggish pace.
But at this moment, listening on the swaying bus, it felt different and special.
Not only did it not feel irritating, but it was somewhat enjoyable.
Leaning on the back of the seat, he listened quietly, sometimes frowning slightly, sometimes relaxing his brows.
From these seemingly trivial settlement details, Cheng Ye could easily piece together a conclusion: the inspector’s package system had an eighty to ninety percent chance of being approved.
But what surprised him immensely was the positioning of the Outer City construction.
The higher-ups didn’t seem to plan on using this area entirely as a settlement for migrants, continuing to stack one box on top of another; instead, it seemed like taking this chance for a thorough reshuffle of the existing Buffer Zone structure.
Was this an idea intervened by the Elders, or had Happiness City planned this long ago?
Cheng Ye couldn’t figure it out for the moment, but one thing was certain: the Outer City’s construction mode coincided with the plan he had imagined.
Indeed, they did not choose the simple and crude "radial expansion," layering another buffer zone outside the current one, spreading out haphazardly like a big pancake.
Rather, they completely followed the mature experience of Firewood, deciding to expand outward in a satellite city manner.
This is undoubtedly a milestone in the history of Shelter City’s construction, enough to be recorded in the development history of Happiness City.
Because once this model is chosen, it means a subversion of the existing structure.
The absolute superiority of Happiness City’s main body will inevitably be weakened, with the inherent advantages accumulated by the old residents through qualifications and their status as prior settlers fading away as the Outer City expands.
If they give up venturing outside for a try, they will soon be surpassed by newcomers who are daring and adventurous.
Those better living conditions, superior living environments, higher incomes, and brighter advancement paths... will be seized step by step by the newcomers.
But on the flip side, the predominant status of the Inner City will become increasingly prominent, becoming an unrivaled top-tier symbol like the core area on Firewood Track Mountain, drawing the "pyramid’s apex" more clearly.
But overall, for the newcomers who just joined Happiness City, this is undoubtedly the best era.
Because from this moment on, the myth of getting rich through hard work is officially starting!
