"Aside from the saltpeter theft case, there have been no major incidents in Pengcheng recently. Overall, we are still living relatively peacefully.
However, I've gathered from various channels that Pengcheng has re-established contact with the central government, and all military regions have already prepared for first-level combat. It's said that a few fourth and fifth-tier cities seem to refuse to follow the central government's jurisdiction.
Then they were swept by the nearby garrison, and the survivors in the city were dispersed and resettled in other cities.
Of course, this happened just after the floodwaters receded, and before the weather warmed up. Communication hadn't been restored then, so the news didn't reach Pengcheng.
It is said that they are ready to launch the communication satellite from Jiuquan. It is currently being debugged, and it may be launched soon. By then, the communication network should be restored."
