Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 15 Make up a reason

Pierre obediently lay down while the doctors continued to change his bandages.

Huck said: "Sir, I can already act. I can go to the kitchen to help tomorrow. If I stay here all the time, it feels like I'm wasting food. I also want to contribute."

Li Jianghao immediately said: "Of course, I will arrange enough food rations for you. If people see you working, they will definitely feel motivated."

"It's great to help sir, I thought I'd be abandoned after I got hurt. But Mr. Mayor, you saved me. No matter what others think of you, I believe you are a good person, even if you may be pagan."

Huck said firmly that he obviously regarded Li Jianghao's previous behavior of summoning flames and hanging the skull sign in front of the tent as some other belief.With the rumors of the end of the world raging, all kinds of weird beliefs are quietly spreading among the people.

People are a little superstitious, maybe except God who ordered the Day of Judgment and brought about this cold disaster, but belief in other gods may lead to salvation.

It can be said that not all people who believe in God are devout. When the end comes, some people are more flexible and start to find solutions from the history of the indigenous people collected in the vast colonies of the empire.

In Huck's eyes, Mr. Mayor may have believed in some kind of aboriginal sect and learned witchcraft.In the past, they would be burned as heretics.But nowadays, it is more important to save firewood to maintain one's own life.

Li Jianghao laughed out loud. He was thinking about how to explain these powers so that the citizens could feel at ease. It might be a good way to claim that he had learned some kind of alien belief.Anyway, in the game, no god came out to save the world, but he actually came to this world.

He said: "That's right, I learned a spell. But this is not to believe in them. In that spell, the original creator is called Shang, and the symbol is a black bird burning with flames. But he It's not a god, it's just that I have also learned the ability to control the power of nature. Huck, there are no gods in this world, but we can believe in human beings."

Li Jianghao used the name Shang without any scruples. If the origin of all systems comes from that lofty savior, then it wouldn't be a bad thing to use his name to enrich the background of the story he made up.

He didn't shy away from these doctors when he spoke, and he knew that his remarks would be circulated among people soon.Li Jianghao did not prepare in advance to take the line of faith after the news of the fall of Winter House came.He was not interested in being a god, nor did he call that Shang a god.

As for after the blizzard, people will blindly believe in themselves, or believe in the Shang who is far away from countless worlds, that is beyond their control.In the game, if the Code of Order and Faith points out the transgressive regulations, it will be questioned by the much-debated "But is it all worth it?"

Li Jianghao didn't want any accidents, so he didn't intend to cross the line and make himself a god in the last days.

After confirming to the doctor that Pierre's injury was not life-threatening, Li Jianghao returned to the control room.Starting tomorrow, the decree on delayed shifts will be activated, and the dissatisfaction value will increase a lot. I hope the reasons compiled today can relieve some pressure.

Early the next morning, the doctors at the ambulance station were free to teach some simple medical knowledge to the children in the children's shelter.Before Huck had time to help in the kitchen, he was taken to the shelter as a teaching model, which was considered to have played a role.

Li Jianghao spent the whole morning on the design drawings of the steam transportation station and the track, and was going to hand them over to Andrew for a look at noon.To manufacture steam engines, you need to build an STC factory first, so you can take it easy.But steam transport stations and tracks can be done when laying roads and building steam hubs.

The laid track and steam transport station can be used as the source of power for transport vehicles without built-in steam engines, and it will be more convenient and safe for residents to travel from residential areas to workplaces.

After handing the drawings to Andrew, under the relieved gaze of the latter, Li Jianghao went to the children's shelter.I am going to polish the story I made up yesterday and tell it to the children.

Children have a natural interest in these stories, and it would be more appropriate to tell their parents through their mouths.

The class lasted all morning. When Li Jianghao arrived, Huck's arm was already covered with charcoal lines, delineating various muscle and bone parts.Working in a world of ice and snow is very easy to be traumatized, and engineers (in the ice age, doctors can only be served by engineers and robots after the development of medical robots) it is appropriate to start from here.

It won't be long before the kids are doing their part by helping to stitch simple wounds, helping to stop bleeding.

"Mayor Richard is here!"

The boys were sharp-eyed. When the get out of class was just over, the children were in a mess. After someone yelled, the children quickly returned to their seats and sat down obediently.

"Sir, I leave this place to you. These children are too scary." Huck finished speaking quickly as if he had seen a savior, and fled the children's shelter limping on crutches.It seems that his feeling as a teaching model is not good.

The teaching engineers bowed their heads and left, and they would return in the afternoon.

"Okay kids, how are you doing?"

"I remember how to use a knife to open the twisted wound at the fracture site without hurting the arteries and muscles."

"I learned to use pliers to disinfect and dispose of material fragments stuck in the skin, be quick and precise, and complete the treatment before the patient feels pain."

"I learned the function of amputation! When the teachers told us about this, Mr. Huck's reaction was the biggest, and I was thinking that this must be the most useful!"

Well, Li Jianghao knew why Huck looked like this.What exactly did these teachers teach the children? Is the teaching progress a little too fast?

Now seeing the children looking at him with excited eyes, Li Jianghao felt a little strange, his body felt the long-lost cold inexplicably.

"Mr. Mayor, we know you can release fire, can you teach us! We also want to learn how to set fire, so that we can protect people like you."

The children's discussion gradually shifted from what they learned today to the purpose of Li Jianghao's coming here. No matter how frightened the adults were, the children were full of yearning for this flame from supernatural power.

Li Jianghao smiled slightly and said:
"Kids, can I tell you a story first?"
