Chapter 4 The first crisis, blowing up the energy tower
"Mayor, Mr. Mayor! We're here to help you!"

The three hunters returned to the original place non-stop, and saw that the battlefield had been moved to a farther place. Before the wind and snow had time to cover up the blood and footsteps, they quickly followed, and saw that Li Jianghao had brought everyone who had left before Slowly following the staggering bear.

The bear suffered a lot of injuries, but Li Jianghao told everyone to slow down instead of swarming up to avoid the bear's dying counterattack.

"You came just in time, huh? Where's the thing I want?" Li Jianghao looked back and saw that three citizens in full hunting equipment were indeed enough to deal with this bear.But as the mayor, his order was to bring the box to him.If you have time to put on hunter equipment, there's no reason not to grab a box that doesn't affect your movements.

The hunters quickly explained: "Mr. Mayor, Mr. Bernard said he needed to turn on the energy tower quickly. Many of us could no longer hold on. He asked us to bring our tools and come over quickly, as well as a few simple sleds. Sir, you can take the injured person back to the energy tower first and leave it to us."

"That's it. It seems that the old man really has no good intentions." Li Jianghao murmured to himself, with a fierce look in his eyes.

If he just resisted or even exiled himself because of the living environment like the citizens in the game, then he has nothing to say.But as soon as he came up, he tried to get himself down, and even activated the energy tower. I'm afraid that the old man didn't want everyone here to be buried with him.As an imperial affairs officer, he doesn't have the original relevant data about the energy tower in his mind. It's the end of the world, and these dozens of people are not enough for him to rule.There was no time for him to develop the ultimate doctrine of the Faith or the Code of Order, and most people would have frozen to death or starved to death.

Once this group of people turned into troublemakers, their previous respect for Bernard would be farting, and they would tear him apart in minutes.

It seems that I encountered a plot that was used badly.This old man died because all four of his sons were building energy towers. In the old man's paranoid eyes, it is not an exaggeration to think that this energy tower is his son-killing enemy.

It turned out that this was the primary problem I had to solve since I took office, and it was the cute NPC citizens in the game who made troubles from time to time. After all, those people were really fighting for survival, not that there was still hope for survival. As a result, a The lunatic led everyone on the road to the destruction of the world.

"He went to open the energy tower?" Li Jianghao asked.

It is not that simple to blow up the energy tower in the game. Even if the power tower is overloaded with full horsepower, at least enough time is needed for the energy tower to fully charge the overload pressure.Unless the old guy knows some secret door, if his four sons found something in the last autumn script corresponding to the game, during the construction of the energy tower, and the consul at the construction site has not ordered the review of the letter, there will be such a trace possibility.

Li Jianghao's mind raced, and he quickly considered various possibilities that fit the background of the game.

"Yes, sir. Mr. Bernard has a notebook, which was sent back by his son. He knows how to activate the energy tower." The hunters quickly replied, and they were also worried that the mayor would be angry because they did not obey the order.

When Li Jianghao heard this, he almost lost his temper. The original owner of his body did not remember this incident.

The bear was so frightened that Li Jianghao couldn't care less, and said quickly:

"You three, go hunt the bear. If you accidentally get close to the bear's den, remember to retreat first. The rest of you will follow me back to the camp. This old guy, don't make trouble."

The hunters hesitated, and said, "But sir, if we don't have a map to guide us, if we lose track, there will only be the three of us left, and it will be difficult to find the right direction to come back."

Li Jianghao thought that the building where the reconnaissance team can be deployed in the camp has not yet been researched, which is equivalent to a vast expanse of whiteness on the map, not to mention that it is too late to build the engineering station speed lighthouse, in case the three people have an accident outside, The mission is not cool, that is, life is in danger.

"Forget it, let this bear go for now. Now that you are out, after the energy tower is activated, explore around the energy tower camp and make sure that the smoke rising from the energy tower is always in your field of vision. Tomorrow Come back before dawn. If there is an accident, give priority to your own safety." Li Jianghao could only arrange this, letting a few people support the injured Huck, and he took the people who were still able to move freely onto the simple sled and headed towards the camp And go.

Bernard climbed up the energy tower, bent down and looked down, the crowd tightly surrounded the energy tower's radiation range, waiting for the energy tower to open.There was no longer the compassion and kindness in his eyes, he just clutched his chest tightly, untied the strap of the heat lamp, and took out a notebook from it.

"Jingan, my father. Hide this notebook well. It contains all aspects of the energy tower plan, enough for you to get preferential treatment from the mayor after entering the energy tower. Father, maybe we can't return to you, but This notebook is our love for you, please live and use it to help those who should live. Your son, Fiore Bernard."

Bernard recalled the handwriting written on the first page of the notebook, and a tear overflowed from his eyes.

He said in a low voice: "Fiore, children, I am here to accompany you, and we will reach the promised land of abundant water and grass together. I curse God to take you away from me. Now, I will take you away with my own hands." Take it back."

Bernard stood up. He had long been familiar with all aspects recorded in this note. This was the professional skill of an imperial affairs officer.He pulled down the pressure valve, and the underground tunnel of the energy tower began to sink, serving as a pressure buffer, and then the coal reserves that had been stored long ago sank into the burning area, and the ground began to vibrate slightly.

People on the ground watched in amazement as the baffle at the top of the power tower began to drop, leaking a huge chimney.They knew that soon the heat would cover the place, and they would no longer need the tiny heat lamps on their clothes to keep them warm.

"Mayor, the mayor is back!"

The children who were arranged in a little distance screamed in surprise, but the adults were a little flustered when they saw the fast approaching team.They did not obey the mayor's order. Although the empire had fallen apart, they were still a little afraid of the officials appointed by the empire, fearing that they would be punished later.

"Lead people to evacuate to the distance, this guy wants to blow up the energy tower, within today, unless I personally order, otherwise you are not allowed to approach the energy tower!"

Li Jianghao yelled loudly and moved people away from the dangerous place first.

In his perception, the system props are hidden in the control room of the energy tower, and the steam heat wave has begun to surge from the pipeline, and the energy tower is turned on.
