Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 38 The Tide of Winter
Case didn't continue to embarrass Brian, the mayor still has use for keeping these guys.

If nothing else, these people should be planning to go to the control room to steal the design of the weapon.Hope they will enjoy the gift Mr. Mayor left there.

In the smell of gunpowder after the bullets were released, people returned to their residences half asleep and half awake.

"I knew that guy hid his hand and released me from the control room just to prevent me from seeing those materials." Bernard sneered. In this work shed, people from the London Gang gathered together and surrounded him. .

Brian looked stern and said: "I am still a guard in the control room. Many people still don't know that I am from the London Gang. Do you want me to go to the control room and steal those design drawings? We also have companions who work in the steel factory. Building these weapons is not a problem."

He felt more and more that Bernard was right.In order to prevent these people from returning, the empire also gave the appointed mayor powerful force technology to forcibly trap them in the snow to freeze and starve to death.

Bernard nodded slightly in agreement, and said with disdain: "The mayor thinks he has a chance to win, and he will go on an expedition to the Winter Home in the near future. At that time, no one can threaten us except that Arnold. Brian , go steal those drawings."

"Yes, Mr. Bernard!" Brian responded quickly, but he was still a little puzzled, and asked, "That Arnold works in the kitchen. If he had a weapon, we might be killed or injured."

Bernard chuckled and asked, "Everyone here, have you ever seen those monsters who came back from the dead?"

Everyone shook their heads. Those things about the dead reviving and attacking humans were too weird. Even if they wanted to believe it was true, at least seeing it was believing it was safer.

"That's fine, we have to spread the rumors of those monsters to prevent us from leaving the camp." Bernard easily arranged a move: "Instigate other people to surround Arnold and let him prove the monster's truth." Existence. At that time, we will do it again. If Arnold gets rough, or even shoots, it is an attack on his compatriots, even if the mayor is not present, you can execute him in the name of a guard."

Brian was overjoyed and said: "As expected of Mr. Bernard, we will definitely bring the truth to people, bring them back to London, and escape from the snow and ice!"

You idiot, you can act as cannon fodder for me on the way to pursue the truth.

Bernard hid the disdain in his eyes very well, and watched the surrounding London Gang staring at him with awe.These human beings are no longer regarded as his own kind by him.

It is precisely because of this mentality that when he tried to blow up the energy tower and caused the death of everyone here, he didn't feel any guilt at all.This kind of person is also the most terrifying lunatic. Unfortunately, in Li Jianghao's eyes, Bernard is just a poor clown.

At daybreak, thirty workers who had received training from the guard station, who were preparing to go to the Winter Home, boarded the rail car with weapons in hand.

Arnold remained in the camp, he is now a kitchen worker.

Amid silent gazes, the rail car headed for the steel bridge.

At the same time, the winter home with no survivors has been strewn with living corpses.

From further north, there are hundreds of figures running wildly in the ice and snow, seemingly never getting tired.They are more or less missing some exposed body parts, but they can still maintain body balance.

The figure running at the forefront, the whole face has festered due to the cold, but it has not rotted, and the appearance can barely be seen.

If someone who knew Bernard was here, he might feel that this monster with a human appearance was obviously not human, and it was very similar to Bernard when he was young.

"The undead who turned into living corpses are not ashes. Maybe they don't have the obsession to survive, but their instinct in the dark still makes them seek the warmth of the flame."

Li Jianghao, who was holding the Fiery Sword and Fiery Fire at the front of the train carriage, suddenly had a systematic sigh in his mind:
My own body is considered immortal, so one day, will I pursue the so-called flame and completely lose my obsession with survival?
The living marched towards the Winter House to destroy the dead.Su Sheng's living corpses also gathered in the Winter House, accumulating from drops of water to tides.

The energy tower of Winter House used to be the biggest heat source in this land, and all the living corpses in the north were gathering towards Winter House.

And after the heat source connected to the deep underground in the energy tower of Winter House is completely extinguished, the tide of living corpses gathered will focus on the newly burning heat source in the south.

The tide of winter has already taken shape.

After arriving at the steel bridge, the rail car began to turn, and people began to install the steam hub on the spot.Because the operation of the railcars also completes the transportation of steam, at least people here don't have to worry about the embarrassment of building a hub and not having energy transported for a while.

Fighting in an environment with a suitable temperature is also more comfortable than in a world of ice and snow.

This steam hub is also a lighthouse used to attract living corpses. The steel bridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack, making it the most suitable place for defense.

Although they would have to face the tide of attacks from hundreds of living corpses at the same time, compared to letting the living corpses cross the steel bridge, or if other living corpses spread to farther places, detours to cross the steel bridge to the new The result in London is still much better.

A reconnaissance team has already gone to the coal mine to light the heat lamp. In order to save follow-up time, the outpost was set up here in advance.Because the battle will take place on the steel bridge, there is no need to worry about damaging anything.

The living corpses in the Winter House already have the consciousness of going to the coal mine. After the hot lamp is lit, as the first living corpse walks towards the coal mine, it moves the whole body. All the winter days that have been transformed into living corpses Residents of the House, follow.

The tide of living corpses entering the Winter House from the north also followed closely, gathering into a winter tide of nearly a thousand people.

The wind and snow covered these living corpses who had no sense of protecting their bodies, like snow monsters, the embodiment of the cold winter.

After confirming that the living corpses had been led out of the Winter House, the outpost of the coal mine began to evacuate towards the steel bridge in an orderly manner.

On the steel defense position that followed the steel bridge, people held their weapons tightly and waited.

Finally, all the team members who were outside returned.

As the winter tide approached, people saw dense black shadows crowded in the distance, running towards here firmly.

Until the feet of the first living corpse stepped on the steel bridge that was supposed to be a steam hub and the snow had melted away, the people on the first floor raised their rifles.

"Free Fire!"

Case roared, the sound of bullets firing like thunder.

The living corpses in the first row fell down instantly, and even tripped the living corpses behind them.Even if more and more living corpses fell to the ground, they still wriggled and moved forward.
