Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 48 Convincing Survivors

As Tesla's mutilated body was thrown down a cliff, the survivors of Tesla City gathered.

"Come back to New London with us, at the end of the day, all living people are precious."

Li Jianghao held the hilt of the holy sword. If these people were unwilling to go with him, he could only release the power of the holy sword to convince these survivors.

Taking advantage of the silence of the people, Brian suddenly said:
"He didn't lie, but you can try to return to London. The Dreadnought that sent us is docked by the sea, and the sea is not frozen. Go back to London, only there can you survive."

Other people in New London looked at Brian with strange eyes, and Aaron felt even more strange.

They were looking for Tesla City all the way, and they didn't know much about the situation of the London Gang in the city. They originally thought that these people would figure it out after the riots subsided.

Why is there still a fool who is stubborn and sees it, let alone whether the dreadnought can be restarted, it is just that there is no energy tower in London, and it is difficult for people to survive in it.

"Bryan, you should know how much effort the Empire took to build these camps. This is not aimless, we can only survive near the energy tower. You let these people go back to London, that is to die. The heat lamp on them Not even enough for them to be out of the cave for more than five hours!"

Aaron's expression hardened, and he walked up to Brian and looked him straight in the face.

Brian dismissed it, and said, "What do you know? Being deceived by Richard, working in vain all day in this small city, is the life you want? Freedom is more precious than life! Bernard Tell me very clearly that the nobles who sent away the commoners are enjoying the rest of their lives in London, and we must work non-stop in the ice and snow!"

Li Jianghao was a little helpless, this guy was already stunned.

Brian talked more and more vigorously, and went directly to the survivors of Tesla City, trying to explain the ideas of the London Gang to them.

After he finished speaking impassionedly, he found that the eyes of these survivors were very strange, as if there was a trace of pity.

"The Queen, bless this poor young man. My child, London has fallen. When we finally received news from London, Her Majesty the Queen has died, and the world is in chaos. We who live in the polar regions are the last human beings. gone."

The old worker who smashed Tesla's last breath came out slowly, with a pitiful look on his face, and everyone bowed their heads in silence, expressing their silent condolences to Her Majesty the Queen.

Brian froze in place. According to the tradition of the empire, no citizen could publish false news about the Queen no matter what.

"No, it's not true!" He yelled hoarsely, and fear began to spread in his eyes.

A real fear of the notion of the end of the world.

"The French built huge rail trains to head towards underground caves, hoping to survive with the help of geothermal heat. A month ago we could still hear the roar of their dreadnought transports, and 20 days ago that huge train drove into the depths of the snow field Disappeared. The Americans have been exploring the ice fields for a long time, and the extent of the mineral deposits in all our camps was confirmed by their expeditions. Boy, the end has come."

The old man walked up to Brian and stretched out his rough hand to comfort the out-of-control Brian.

The other survivors surrounded them silently. They took revenge, but they didn't have much hope of continuing to survive.Anyway, the end has come, and sooner or later they will be drowned in the blizzard and die.

As Li Jianghao expected, this man who had firmly believed in Bernard's lies would receive a huge shock and even lose hope of survival after the lies were broken.

Now, it's time to show your magic wand, no, it's time to show miracles to awaken people's hope.

"People of the Queen, the end has come, but we can get through it safely!"

Li Jianghao said loudly, raising the holy sword in his hand.

In the empire, there was a legend that the king pulled out the holy sword from the stone to save people.

In the puzzled eyes of the survivors, huge flames surged from the black holy sword.

The huge firebird spread its wings and came from the sky, skipping over everyone's heads.

The heat lamps of the survivors were about to go out, but when the firebird flew by, they were all filled with heat energy.The long-lost warm feeling covered them, so warm that people didn't want to think about unnecessary things.

Li Jianghao showed a confident smile and said proudly:

"The holy blade (SABER) is in my hands. This is a sacred object in ancient legends, the sword bestowed by the queen, and it is given to the person who leads you out of the cold disaster. This person is me!"

The eyes of the survivors began to look a little strange, and some even traditional people even had weak knees and wanted to kneel down and admire the miracle.

Li Jianghao didn't want the development of things to rush towards the line of faith, and prepared his next speech:

"However, this is not a gift from the gods, but a power that can only be activated by our human will to survive. There have never been any gods or demons in this world, only people's belief in wanting to live. As long as we believe, we are omnipotent .Our ancestors survived the Ice Age and survived countless natural disasters. Now, do you want to be afraid and escape?"

"Those who oppress you have paid the price. It's time to realize the meaning of existence, for yourself and for mankind. There has never been any savior. As long as you want to live, you are your own savior. Only you can save yourself!"

The survivors of Tesla City trembled, which was a remark they had never heard.

This person has miraculous powers, but claims that he is not the spokesperson of God, but let them find the meaning of their own existence.If Tesla had such power, I am afraid that no one can resist his tyranny!

"When we go back to New London with you, the person who can tell us that we can save ourselves must not be a bastard like Tesla. Yes, we want to live and work hard for it, that's all!"

People responded one after another, packed their remaining luggage before dark, went to Tesla City to spend the night, and headed for New London the next day.

Brian seemed to have lost his soul, and followed the crowd without energy, without saying a word.

The holy sword has been extinguished and turned back to jet black.

Li Jianghao was at the forefront of the team, staring closely at the phantom that gradually appeared in front of Tesla City, thinking about what secrets there are underground in Tesla City.

The scales of the ice dragon in his arms were slightly warm, not as cold as its owner at all.

Finally, before the sun completely set, they arrived at Tesla City.

Camps have been set up at outposts where workers can rest.

After eating the heated food, Li Jianghao began to look for the hollow entrance under Tesla City.
