Chapter 372: Escape Plan

Blue-painted steam cars drove down the road, and more and more steam cars passed by, and the smell of burning coal wafted through the curtained windows.

The handsome man in the car wrinkled his nose, even though he was already very familiar with this smell, he still felt that the occasional smell of horse manure on the road was better than the smell of soot all over the street.

The man sighed, "There are more and more steam cars in Yorktown. ”

The woman in the long white dress in the seat opposite played with the small objects in her hand and said, "Then you should be happy, they are all made of steel provided by your family." ”

The man closed the window, "We, the West Chamber of Commerce, just drink soup, and it's Baptiste who makes a lot of money." Like the railroad and the telegraph, we locals took on most of the capital investment, provided skilled workers, and dealt with all kinds of troubles, but when the traffic was opened in the future, the lion's share of the profits would be taken by Baptiste. ”

"Click, click, click......"

The woman stuffed the shiny brass knick-knack in her hand into a small disc with six holes, all of which were quickly stuffed into something.

"My brother is very much looking forward to the opening of the railway. ”

The man buried his body hard into the sofa, which made him feel much more comfortable, and said with a smile: "Last week, the New World Railway Company held its first major shareholders' meeting. If your brother had known who was participating, his heart would not have been so beautiful. ”

"No matter how much the railway company tosses, it is not just a commercial house, and what flowers can be tossed. The woman held the metal object with the carved ivory handle in her hand and slowly lifted it, and a metal tube with a black hole was installed on the handle, which was aimed at the man opposite.

The man was shocked, shrank down, slid off his seat, knelt on his knees to the ground, waist one, hands up, and threw the woman's hand into the air.

"Phew!"

The explosion sounded, choking white smoke filled the carriage, and the driver of the steam car, who did not know what was happening, not only did not dare to stop, but hung up the gear, raising the speed of the vehicle to the highest speed.

"Ahem! Vanessa, give me the gun! It's too dangerous! Don't point the gun at anyone, if you go off the rails, you'll really die. The man said loudly.

"Graves, why did you suddenly grab my hand, if you don't touch me, how can you go off!" The woman was also quite angry, she had just gotten this new gadget in her hands, how could she blame her for the situation.

It's all his fault!

A ray of light leaked down from the roof of the car and shone into the white mist, and the tiny particles in the mist fluttered up and down.

Graves West finally snatched the delicate pistol from Vanessa Cuosman's hand, inspected it, and found that it was not damaged, before he spoke: "This thing is still flawed in design, I need to modify it again and install a switch to avoid misfire." By the way, I mean, to remind Mayor Hoffa that there is one of the biggest common interest groups in the town hall, and while many of the councillors have shares in the railroad, it's strange that none of the councillors close to the mayor are present at the meeting of the railroad's major shareholders. I can be inside, probably no one knows about our relationship. ”

Vanessa was a little angry that Graves had brutally snatched the pistol from her, and said angrily, "Why can't our relationship be made public?

Miss, I just said so much, did you listen to it? Why are you only entangled in these little things?

Sister, you're coming back soon!

......

The sister who had worried Graves was standing on the podium at this time, holding a short stick made of lime in her hand, and writing on a black wooden board.

More than 40 people in the audience, each with a futon, sat cross-legged, all listening carefully to Marianne.

"I have basically made it clear about the population and food consumption, and the conclusion is what I said at the beginning, that in ten years everyone will start to starve, and within two years after the start of starvation, the world will start to be in turmoil, and it will not subside until half of the people die. ”

Bai Ye in the front row raised his hand, and Marianne hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

So Bai Ye said: "Can't you fill your stomach by smuggling grain and fishing?"

Marianne waved her hand, "The population will continue to increase, if there is no catastrophe and war, it will increase by two to three percent every year, and it will increase by twenty percent in ten years. But without the grain trade, smuggling would have been cut off by the Western Sahara Empire, and the harvest of fishing was not stable, and the annual increase in population without food trade would have been fed back immediately, putting pressure on the whole country. ”

Hei Ye took the time to speak: "Don't worry about when the crisis broke out, everyone knows that the current situation will definitely not last." I think the most important thing we need to do is whether or not to colonize the New World. ”

"More land is needed to feed us. ”

"They attacked us first, and it was only a thousand years of truce......"

"There are 300,000 transcendent warriors in the Divine Kingdom!"

"God also needs more believers to let the glory of the God of Light shine on the Western Continent. ”

......

......

The internal chatter, Hei Ye provoked everyone's troubles, and at a glance, the vast majority of those who advocated colonization accounted for the vast majority, even Bai Ye and others, who did not express their position, did not express their opposing opinions.

Fat Orange struggled out of Lily's arms and ran out of the meeting with a puff of smoke.

Although Marianne on the stage saw Fat Orange leave, she didn't know what to say, and she couldn't get off the stage yet.

Hei Ye also found out about Fat Orange's departure, thought about it, stood up and said loudly: "It's been discussing for a few hours, let's take a break." ”

Turning to Bai Ye and Jacques, the three of them walked out together.

Fat Orange squatted on a stone beast statue, hung his head on the beast's head, his limbs naturally stretched out, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, surrounded by three people, and did not open his eyes.

"My Emperor......" Hei Shuo just spoke.

"Shh......h Don't talk......" was immediately interrupted by Fat Orange.

After two minutes of silence, Jacques spoke: "Master Hei, since you have long planned to colonize the New World, can you tell me your plan?"

Kurosawa didn't know if this was Fat Tangerine's meaning or Jacques was stirring up the topic, but when he found that Fat Tangerine didn't object, he threw a grateful look at Jacques, and then said, "Actually, my original plan was just to flee with the Ugin clan. As you know, I was helpless against High Priest Wu Tingshan, so I began to plan to flee to the New World decades ago. If we had been defeated that day, we would have been adrift on the ocean with 600,000 men, women, and children of the Ugin tribe by this time......"
