Beiyuan City was in the midst of reconstruction, swarmed by civilians seeking high-paying jobs from all over, along with the military, bringing a burst of vitality to the area.
But in reality, the city was still full of ruins, and bodies of all sorts could be seen or excavated everywhere.
People had grown accustomed to the sight of digging up an arm with a shovel in the debris, and some even found valuable items on these bodies, profiting from the dead.
Some bomb craters were being repurposed, dug out directly for laying pipes, improving the city's sewage system.
In fact, other cities in Qi Country were hardly distinguishable from battlefields now, with trenches dug out everywhere, so much so that one might mistake them for still being at war.
The military was frenetically busy; they had to clear the ruins and, upon receiving reports from workers, inspect the site for hazardous materials.
