Liu Wenzhong and his soldiers settled in the abandoned factory and reported their situation to the headquarters, at the same time informing Andrei's mercenary security group.
Just like other countries on Fiery Summer and Terra Star, they employed the services of contract soldiers from security companies, especially for pioneering work like this, which would last for at least a decade or more. If they used their own civilians to fill the ranks of compulsory soldiers and something truly went wrong, it would be too painful; it was more cost-effective to let contract soldiers take the lead.
As contract soldiers on a hired basis, Liu Wenzhong and his team had signed a 15-year service contract with Fiery Summer. They could bring their own weapons or choose weapons provided by the Fiery Summer military, but there were no specifications for the actual service locations.
