Chapter 501 The Development of the Lure People

The flag of the Second Engineering Corps of the Northern Fleet fluttered in the skies above Reindeer Bay; machinery roared as the lads of the engineering corps rushed to Reindeer Bay upon receiving their orders to help the Lure People build their homes.

This was also one of the results Suming had achieved through negotiations with the Russian Government. The Kola Peninsula was located at a remote distance, and it would take at least a month or two for construction units from the mainland to mobilize manpower and materials. The thousands of Lure People couldn't be expected to live in the wilderness like savages; moreover, the housing built by the military engineering corps, though not luxurious, was certainly sturdy and durable, with some special constructions outright meeting military fortification quality standards.

From a small hill looking down, the frozen ground was already being dug and foundations laid out on the plain. Not far from the construction site, many white tents had been temporarily erected to provide the Lure People with shelter.

Groups of Lure People stood in line, registering their households and receiving living supplies from officials sent by the Russian Government.

Many thin children ran and frolicked about in the camp tents.

As Suming walked into the camp, the Lure People learned that their Divine Envoy had arrived and suddenly erupted in waves of cheering from all around, startling the Russian Engineering Corps working nearby.

Alayi and Basel, leaning on his cane, came to greet him from afar in the tents, poised to prostrate but Suming stopped them with a very stern look.

"Let's talk inside the tent," Suming nodded and began conversing as he walked: "How does everyone feel about this place? Can you adapt?"

The Lure People were used to living in Iraq, and suddenly coming to Russia, there were bound to be areas of discomfort. Temporary discomfort was nothing, but Suming was only worried about the Lure People causing trouble—that would not be good. In the eyes of the Russian Government, the Lure People were one and the same with them; if the Lure People stirred up any trouble, it could lead to misunderstandings.

"Great Divine Envoy, that is simply impossible. Just as the scriptures say, you led the Lure People to defeat the devil and have come to this picturesque paradise to establish a homeland for the Lure People. Our hearts are filled with gratitude," said Alayi.

After some time of interaction, Suming discovered that within the Lure tribe, Alayi was both the Clan Leader and the sacrificer, Amir was the head of the military forces, and Basel was responsible for the daily affairs of the tribe. He could only understand Chinese but could not speak it, and Russian was even more out of the question.

"Divine Envoy, you have considered everything for the Lure people, being able to eat and drink enough, not having to worry about being shot or raped, it's a great fortune indeed. Not a single Lure child would think studying in a heated room is a hard task!" Alayi said sincerely.

"Oh, there's one more thing..." Basel interjected from the side, "Divine Envoy, the Engineering Corps told us that in at most a month, we'll be able to move into the new houses with electricity and heating. What should we do after that? We want to build a real palace for you in Reindeer Bay, without relying on the power of the Engineering Corps, completely done by the Lure people themselves!"

"A palace, haha, that's not necessary for now. What the Lure people need to do at the moment is to settle down in Reindeer Bay," Suming said.

He thought for a moment and continued, "First of all, you need to establish good relations with the other local tribes and avoid getting involved in government matters. Planting crops, hunting, and fishing are all fine. On the way here, I saw that Reindeer Bay has a very excellent natural environment and is rich in resources. As long as you're not too lazy, the Lure people can live here quite comfortably. As for the specifics, you should discuss and decide on your own. If there's surplus produce, you can sell it to the Russians or to Huaxia, I'm sure the sales will be good."

"Don't worry, Divine Envoy, the Lure people are a hardworking nation! I guarantee that in no more than half a year, you will see a Reindeer Bay filled with vitality and vigor," Basel said confidently.

After chatting for a while about the future development directions for the Lure people, Basel took Zhao Yun and Nangong Huang for a stroll around the camp, leaving only Suming and Alayi in the tent.

"Divine Envoy, the young men have already scouted Hell's Gate, and haven't found anything abnormal. Do you want to go there now?" Alayi asked.

Coming to Reindeer Bay, Suming certainly wanted to see for himself what this legendary Hell's Gate was like. He nodded, "Don't stir up too many people, have Amir bring a couple of clever young men, and we'll walk there."

"Divine Envoy, why don't we drive instead," Alayi said with a peculiar expression.
