Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 5 Approved!A seal is lifted, the sword comes!

The turbulent air wave spurted out from the outer bracket of the energy tower without any warning, almost knocking down Li Jianghao who was halfway up.

The old guy didn't know what method he used. While the energy tower was overloaded, he bypassed the technology unlocking and drove directly to the second level of the energy tower.Although I don't know how long the initial coal in the camp can last, but the unupgraded energy tower is overloaded with a second-order state, and the blast pressure can reach the requirement within three hours from the original one day.

I don't even know if there are any hidden dangers left during the construction of the energy tower of the new home here. The so-called three hours are just the time I inferred based on the knowledge about the energy tower in my mind.

"Bernard, you bastard! You are old enough to live, and there are children below! Are you happy that so many people were directly killed here? Your son sacrificed and you don't want to live, so go die yourself !” Li Jianghao yelled angrily, he knew that he had to stir up Bernard's emotions, so he had to mention things about his son.

This kind of person who seems to have lost all hope because of certain things, when the key point is mentioned again, many will choose to argue a few words, trying to explain to others that what they choose to do is correct, and getting others' approval can be regarded as lightening themselves. Guilt hidden away.

Li Jianghao can understand Bernard's pain of losing his four sons, but this is not a reason to directly drag others to die.

Sure enough, when Li Jianghao mentioned his son, Bernard turned the various valves slowly according to his memory, but he continued firmly.

He locked the door of the control room. No one could enter the control room unless they climbed directly to the top of the energy tower against the steam that could burn the human body and then slid down the hot steam pipe.This was originally a measure used by the empire to protect the safety of the energy tower controllers.

The people who came back with Li Jianghao explained Li Jianghao's thoughts to everyone in a panic.On the way back, Li Jianghao explained the ins and outs of Bernard wanting to blow up the energy tower to be buried with his son.When everyone heard this, they didn't have time to think about it. After all, the appearance of the energy tower in front of them didn't look like it was operating normally.After the engineers in the team confirmed, they hurriedly dragged the people to flee.

The original respect for Bernard turned into all kinds of cursing in an instant. Only the children didn't understand why Grandpa Bernard was cursed by the adults.

"The mayor, the mayor is going up to stop Bernard." Huck said out of breath. He was the only unlucky guy who was shot away by the bear. The mayor did not abandon him, but took him all the way, which made him very sad gratitude.When people were panicking, he was also the first to think of Li Jianghao who climbed up the energy tower that was about to explode regardless of the danger.

The crowd quickly withdrew to the entrance of the low-lying area, the thick smoke from the energy tower was already very conspicuous, and the bright lights that were originally flowing quietly were now extremely red in the daytime.The radiator plate, which should have remained motionless after being lowered, can still vibrate obviously.

Up to now, people can only believe that the mayor, who also has the knowledge of the energy tower, can turn the tide and save them.Otherwise, even if the explosion of the energy tower did not affect them, the people who lost their heat source would not be able to survive in this endless ice field.

Some original believers began to silently pray for Li Jianghao. People in the empire believed in God, and at this time they could only rely on faith.I hope that the omniscient and omnipotent God can bless Li Jianghao and save them.

"The hope value begins to rise and the code of faith sequence is unlocked."

"When the belief threshold is detected, the corresponding unlocking conditions are still required to unlock the corresponding buildings."

"The seal of the first phase of the Huoyan sword is being unlocked, please keep the hope value continuing to rise."

Li Jianghao tightened the bandages on his calves, stuffed his hands into thick gloves, and took off the heat lamp used for heating.These devices, which were originally designed to resist the cold, can only be temporarily used to prevent one's skin from being scalded by the steam that spews out from time to time on the energy tower where the temperature is rising sharply.

He walked all the way to the door of the control room, where the temperature was relatively stable and where the entire energy tower finally collapsed.

"Open the door for me, Bernard. It's not too late to turn around now. I can pardon you, use your knowledge to serve people, and regain their respect!" Li Jianghao picked up the pickaxe and put it on the door lock. It didn't move at all. A piece of metal was rubbed off from the tip of the needle.

There is no way to open it with manpower.

"Mr. Richard, please allow me to communicate with you as yourself, not as the mayor." Bernard's voice came, and it was very clear amidst the roar of steam around him.

"We're at the end of the day and my kids built these behemoths to keep us alive. But, but they died. I know a lot of people's kids died too, and I shouldn't be so pessimistic. But, sir, I'm During my tenure as a affairs officer, I secretly checked all the correspondence about the construction site of the energy tower. The corruption, greed and crime described in it made me hate. I don’t believe that such an energy tower can keep people alive, and I don’t believe that after having power You, you can keep your heart and not degenerate into such an ugly monster. Sir, prove to me your determination to protect your own people, or run away quickly, take your letter of appointment, and stick to the nearest energy tower to survive come down."

Li Jianghao is a little silent. He has played the last autumn and understands what happens to the failed construction sites in the plot even when human beings are living and dying in the plot.The most recent Winter House is an example. If there is no accident, the camp with the flawed design of the energy tower is already on the way to collapse. If the people there fail to escape, they will die cleanly.

"No, you will survive, not as a mayor, but as a human being who is also walking in the end."

Li Jianghao took a deep breath, no longer entangled here, but looked up, the stairs to the top of the energy tower had already started to tremble due to the high temperature, and he didn't have much time.

"If the mayor climbs to the top and enters the control room directly from the steam vent, he will die! Mayor Richard is actually willing to use his life to stop Bernard for us!"

The people who saw it quickly saw the figure climbing to the top of the tower. They didn't expect the mayor to do this for them!Just like what Bernard said, the mayor with the imperial appointment letter can completely run away to other camps to get a part-time job.But now Li Jianghao is willing to use his life to save the energy tower for them, and has won the heartfelt approval of these people for the first time!

"I know how to manually release part of the pressure from the pressure relief valve from the bottom of the energy tower, but I need someone to help me fix my body, does anyone want to come with me?"

Engineer Andrew yelled, calling for help as they went out of their way to save themselves.

"I'll go with you!"

"I'm going too! This is our city, we have to save it ourselves!"

On the tower, Li Jianghao closed his eyes, hugged the non-hot metal, and began to slide down.The scorching breath hit his mind, making him almost unable to think, and the voice in his mind echoed again:
"The hope value is full, and the seal of Huo Yan Jian Li Huo has been lifted. Human courage is the most precious treasure in the face of disaster. Your Excellency, I hope you can persevere."

In a trance, Li Jianghao seemed to see the red dragon, the countless crowds coming towards him, and the holy sword that pierced through the sky and lifted up the world that was about to be destroyed.

"Fire Flame Sword Fiery Fire, come the sword!"
