This style of speech was undoubtedly captivating. Everyone's eyes shone after listening. As long as they worked hard, as long as they did not sit around waiting to die, they could receive the rewards they deserved here.
Everything was fair and just.
Moreover, this was the only survivor settlement without Refugees.
