Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 35

"By the way, Fanny, have you heard any strange remarks recently, for example, someone wants to leave the camp?"

Li Jianghao decided to forget about the evil Shang. Since he himself appeared in Fanny's dream as a flaming bird, it would be in vain for him to explain it back.

Fanny ate her food, thinking about what she had seen in the past few days, and was hesitating whether to tell the mayor.

She asked: "Sir, those who want to leave are not bad people, they are just afraid. Will you punish them?"

Li Jianghao pretended to think for a while before giving an answer:
"I won't punish them, but those who want to leave will definitely die after leaving. If more people follow them out, many people will die. Fanny, you certainly don't want to see them go to die, do you?" .So you have to help me stop them, I can't let my citizens die in the cold."

He wasn't cheating on Fanny, and he wasn't a tyrant like Tesla, and he wasn't going to punish those London gangs severely.But these people have to pay some price and understand that doing something wrong requires consequences.

Fanny put down the bowl, stared at Li Jianghao's eyes for a long time, and said:

"I trust you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Brian, the guard in the control room, and a few workers from the lumberyard met in the back street of the shelter last night. Mr. Brian said London was safe and we were there to ease the cold coming. It was a deliberate victim of pressure from London at the time. I couldn't hear it very well after that, and they left very quickly."

Li Jianghao took a long breath, touched Fanny's head, and said:

"It's enough to have these. Bernard, that old bastard, really dares to say anything. By the way, Fanny, do you believe Brian's words?"

Fanny blinked, and the little girl's jewel-like pupils trembled slightly:

"Well—I believe you, Mr. Richard. You may not know that my uncle is Alexander. He told my parents that the cold wave was inevitable and that they would die if they stayed in London. That's why I was sent here. .You and uncle said the same, then I believe you."

Li Jianghao suddenly realized that Alexander was her uncle, so Fanny's seemingly high IQ was due to family inheritance.However, this body originally had very little memory of Fanny's family, and it didn't even know about the relationship between Alexander and Fanny.

Li Jianghao looked at Fanny and said: "Thank you ma'am, if you can find out where their next meeting will be, please let me know. I believe their next meeting will not be sneaky, but to publicize their concept."

Fanny likes the feeling of being treated equally as an adult. Although she can play with people of her own age, her overly smart IQ makes her more concerned about the changes in the world of those adults.

"I'll keep an eye out, Mr. Mayor."

Time passed like this for two days.

All tents have been upgraded to sheds and a second steam shearer has been completed.Andrew is doing the final steam engine assembly test. Because he applied for a steam core alone, the existing resource surplus cannot continue to produce robots, and he can only wait for the scouting team to return from exploration.

There is still some negativity among the workers who have been put to work on the new steam shearers, and those who have been working on the sawmills and steel.People are fantasizing about making another robot that can replace their jobs so that they can be free.

Even when the end is approaching, the repetitive work day after day still makes people a little more lazy.Coupled with the surreptitious spread of London Gang ideas, some workers at the sawmill decided to heed the Brian guards and hold public meetings after nightfall.

Brian is a guard in the control room. He has been in contact with Bernard for a long time and was brainwashed by the old guy who is good at playing with people's hearts.

In Brian's eyes, he has begun to believe that Bernard's original intention to blow up the energy tower was not just to avenge his son, but also to allow the people here to return to London and regain the protection of their hometown.

Bernard made up the lie that London deliberately sent these civilians to the energy tower camp to support themselves in order to relieve the pressure. This old man is familiar with various imperial official systems and knows how to make up a convincing "secret".

Coupled with the fall of the Winter House in the north, and the terrible incident of the resurrection of the dead attacking human beings, Brian firmly believed that all this was a conspiracy of the empire, and even made up some settings in his own brain.

These energy tower residents scattered all over the ice field are defensive facilities to prevent those monsters from heading south.The monsters will be attracted by the living in the ice and snow, and get lost here forever, unable to find their way to the mainland.

Otherwise, why would the mayor appointed by the empire deliberately go to the steel bridge to save people, risking the camp being discovered by monsters.

The more Brian thought about it, the more he felt that his ideas were correct, and he decided to follow Bernard's teachings, first look for unsteady people in the crowd, and instill his own ideas.

With his efforts, Brian really found a few "like-minded" people.

After an initial meeting, they decided to take the new rotation of guards on their first day on the job, have a public party as night fell, and leave before the guards arrived.

Although it was a public gathering, some of them still covered their faces, and that Brian did not go on stage with them.He told the gang that in order to get more information, he must keep his job as a guard of the energy tower.

Under Bernard's long-distance flickering, these unlucky members of the London Gang finished their drinks to strengthen their courage, and when everyone was about to go home to rest, they stood on the high platform and began to promote the theory of the London Gang.

While these people were roaring and performing performance art, Li Jianghao was lying comfortably on the seat, tapping his fingers on the table.

Just now, he had released Bernard, free to move about inside the camp before his execution, to add fuel to the show.

By the way, he also took this old guy away from him, and he had already revealed enough information to him, and Li Jianghao didn't intend to let Bernard know about the later things.

Let this old guy with only a little knowledge, forge a theory, gain people's trust, and then personally smash the theory to pieces.

Only then will the people of New London really convince themselves.

"The London Gang is gathering, existing number: 12 people."

"Please solve the problems of the London Gang and Winter House within ten days. Rewards: Random mythical animal classification fantasy drive book, release of the second-stage seal of the fire sword and fire, and the number of times to unlock the typewriter: once."

The system reported a new task as soon as possible, and this guy seemed to care nothing on the surface, but he was actually more familiar with the progress of the whole plot than himself.

For the driver book and an opportunity to archive, Li Jianghao decided to solve these problems within ten days.He believes that the ten-day limit given to him by the system must mean that something more important will happen in ten days.
