Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 59
Cardy's words made the people who were staying in New Manchester panic. It was not a problem for them to survive at minus [-] to [-] degrees with the only remaining resources.But if that blizzard brought a huge drop in temperature, the rest of them would have nowhere to go.

"Cadi! Don't be alarmist, you just want to run to New London!"

"Just tell me how far the temperature can drop in that snowstorm?"

"Take me quickly, I'm going to New London too, I regret it, I don't want to stay here and die!"

People were confused, and some radical survivors ran to the sleds that had been loaded with passengers and resources, and yelled at the children and women to get off so that they could get on.

Case slapped those people to the ground unceremoniously. The Ark engineers were now obedient to Li Jianghao and stood together, especially the four robots they controlled were still spewing steam. , brought huge deterrent.

The original idea of ​​​​designing the robot was indeed that there was no way to add weapons, but it was not impossible to kill people with a mechanical arm carrying a woodcutter.

"I welcome those who want to go to New London at any time, but the rest of you have to go on foot. New London will also send a ten-man guard to meet them, each of them is armed."

Li Jianghao was expressionless, carrying out his duties as mayor.

Then he looked at Cardi and asked:
"Can you take me to the lighthouse? I want to confirm the formation of the blizzard myself. That is also a challenge for New London."

Cardi hurriedly said: "Of course, please follow me. Sir, when you see the storm forming with your own eyes, you will feel even more how weak we are in front of nature."

Li Jianghao was noncommittal and headed towards the lighthouse.

Bernard followed up, he didn't want any moths to appear before reaching construction site 416.

The lenses of the New Manchester Lighthouse have not been upgraded yet, but the layer of icy mist slightly condensed on the horizon to the south in the distance is very clear, connecting the snow-white earth with the blue sky.

The horizon in other directions is clearly defined by blue and white, with no colors mixed together in between.

It's like watching a tsunami while standing on the beach. When the tsunami is far away, the waves are not as big as the waves hitting your lap.But with the arrival of the first wave of waves, the tsunami several stories high covered the sight, and by the time they realized the danger and wanted to escape, it was already too late.

Li Jianghao narrowed his eyes slightly, he needed to work hard to concentrate to see clearly the existence of the cold wind, the signs it showed were not much bigger than a hair.

Bernard confirmed with great interest, humming a little tune, and said: "According to this speed, there are still 21 days before the blizzard will reach New Manchester, 25 days will hit Tesla City, and 20 days will arrive in New London. But in No. [-] days, the temperature in New London will drop to minus [-] degrees. From that day on, the temperature will only drop for five days until the snowstorm disappears.”

Li Jianghao didn't care about what Bernard said, even though what this guy said was right, he turned to look at Cady with a nervous face,

"Other than a lighthouse, is there any other way to detect an approaching blizzard?"

With a trembling throat, Cardi tried to calm down and said: "If in the next few days, people start to notice that the cloud swirl in the horizon sky disappears completely, they will realize that there is a snowstorm approaching. No matter the snowstorm If Hui moves in that direction, people will rush to the nearest energy tower camp, that is the only place where they can survive."

Li Jianghao nodded, trying to understand the reason why three groups of refugees came to the energy tower as soon as the London gang was solved in the game plot.

It seems that the problem of the London gang is about to be solved. After Brian figured it out, all the London gang will disappear, and the flame sword Agni that unlocks the second-stage seal can trigger its own elemental power without the need for a driving book.

I hope this power can bring some help to myself.

Li Jianghao was not too nervous, and planned to implement the plan step by step.

After solving the 416 construction site, he will immediately return to New London, arrange for the construction of a large number of medical clinics, and replace all engineers except the engineers at the workstations from their jobs to avoid accidents among the seriously ill patients among the refugees.

Although it failed to save the surviving children in the Winter House, New Manchester and the Ark add up to nearly 200 people, which is enough to meet the 700-population goal.

"Time waits for nothing." Li Jianghao murmured, looking at Bernard: "After we arrive at Tesla City early tomorrow morning, we will turn to the 416 construction site. I hope the information you provided is correct."

A trace of sadness flashed across Bernard's face, and he said: "I play with people's hearts, but I am still a father. I have investigated the deaths of the first three sons before evacuating, but I want to see the death of the younger son with my own eyes." Only after finding out what is the power that turns people into monsters, can we feel at ease."

At this time, neither of them knew that Bernard's youngest son, who had turned into a living corpse, had been shot by Case and the others, and then he was completely burned by a fire.

Because there were more than half of the survivors who wanted to follow Li Jianghao back to New London, Li Jianghao had to spend half a day reorganizing the team, and by the way, temporarily made some simple sleds and large wooden boxes for storing supplies here.

As for the energy tower in New Manchester, he did not disassemble any parts, but completely sealed the bottom channel of the energy tower here to prevent the core of the energy tower from being damaged by extremely low temperatures and left marks.As long as the blizzard passes, the surviving people can return here to open settlements.

There were also people in New Manchester who went back to the lighthouse several times to check before they had to believe that a blizzard was approaching.And they missed the opportunity to make a sleigh, so they had to finally charge up the heat lamp and head to New London in an awkward way.

Fortunately, most of them are young and strong, so there will be no problems along the way.

Li Jianghao decided that the team would first go to the nearest Tesla City and meet the security guards arranged in advance, so that he could be free to go to the 416 construction site.

The bloated team began to move forward, and the four robots of the Ark discarded some temporarily useless parts, and accelerated to drag the sled.The people in the car were covered with wood, the steam hub was completely removed, and the residual temperature in the center was fixed to heat the sled.

The unlucky ones can only ride on the wooden planks that can be called sleds in front of them and be blown by the cold wind. They are hung on the connecting parts and fastened to the robot, and they have to accept the bumps of the robot.

Li Jianghao lay peacefully in a sleigh with his eyes closed, thinking about how to face the disaster in a better way.

"The space anchor has been fixed, and the steam engine can be started."

The system suddenly popped up the reward building panel, and the engine prototype made by Andrew started.
