Xinshan First District, located in East City, had a population of fifty thousand, and it extended around the entirety of Xinshan.
C City had never before undertaken such a massive project to build houses on a mountain.
However, calling it "building houses" was a far cry from the standards of peace times; for the residents of the First District, the primary requirement for their houses was simply that they be inhabitable.
Some would chop down a few trees and hack together a structure; covering it with grass or a canopy was enough for it to barely qualify as a living space.
In these dogged days, just staying alive wasn't easy, so making it through each day was an achievement.
There were no small number of people living like this.
Nonetheless, there was also a portion of people whose attitude was the same as Su Shu's—they had certain standards for the quality of life, even if modern living had collapsed back to primitivism.
