Chapter 2 Encountering a Giant Bear in the Ice and Snow
The people who had escaped from London made their way towards the construction site of the Powered Tower to the north, where they would build new homes.
And their mayor, Richard Noz, or Li Jianghao, walked at the head of the crowd, and could already see the low terrain in the distance, and the energy tower belonging to London was sleeping in the middle of it.
No matter how outrageous the task given to him by this so-called system is, at least he is alive now, and there is still nearly a month before the arrival of the snowstorm, and the plug-in opened by the system is still waiting for him. Li Jianghao is in a good mood now, even if he can't escape the situation of hanging in the end, but before he dies, he can take a picture of himself and wave a few laps with the fire sword, which can be regarded as a dream come true.
"Sir, we're almost there." The old man's voice came again, and following the old man's gaze, on a raised plot in front of him, several young people waved fuel rods, and smoke rose suddenly. It was a team sent out in advance to confirm the road conditions.
Even if you have a map, accidents can happen, so it's always a good idea to be careful.
"Soon we'll be able to drink hot wine, the last bit of stock, to pay tribute to the empire of the past."
Li Jianghao searched his memory, the old man's name was Bernard, and he was originally an affairs officer of the empire. All four of his sons died at the construction site of the Energy Tower, and he himself was "lucky" to win a spot on the New London Energy Tower. As an affairs officer, Bernard was the only person the impostor mayor could rely on to get his opinions, and he also had considerable prestige among the crowd.
"How do I look at the fuel rods that are pointing the way, there is something unusual." Li Jianghao finally immersed his mind in this body, and no longer felt like he had dreamed before.
He watched as the few points of light swung more and more rapidly and panickedly, and it seemed that the owner of the arm waving was struggling with all his strength. If you just see the joy of the Portal, you will never be so excited.
Sure enough, as they marched a little further, they could already hear the shouts of the advance team, mixed with nervousness and fear, and even if the voices were dispersed in the cold wind, those emotions were clearly visible.
The men were also coming towards them, running down the bulge, and then a large black shadow climbed up the bulge from the direction of the energy tower. After seeing what the black shadow was, Li Jianghao, who was at the front of the team, contracted his eyes, and his whole person trembled out of physical fear.
It was a black bear, and although it was difficult to understand why there were bears with black fur in the Arctic at this time, it was clearly not the time to think about it.
No matter what kind of character this Mr. Mayor was before, but now the soul in this body is nothing more than an ordinary young man in another world, and the most ferocious animal he has ever seen is also the big black dog next door when he was a child.
Now that they have not fallen into hibernation, the black bears who are most likely to be extremely hungry appear in front of everyone, and they are obviously more than lucky.
"Young people are in front, with tools that can be used, and children and women are in the back. Sir, you better step back to the back so that you don't get into danger. Bernard shouted loudly, this old man was very experienced in speaking in front of the people, even without a megaphone, his voice was like a sedative, so that the panicked people instantly calmed down.
"No, I, I'm with you." Li Jianghao's voice trembled a little, but he still made a choice. The number 81 in his mind was dazzling, and if a dozen people died before he could reach the range of his new home's energy tower, his mission would be over. He didn't have any typewriters on hand for him to archive.
In this case, it is better to fight a wave, if you can kill this bear, the food reserves of the first few days of the new home can also be partially alleviated.
Besides, he is not without a chance of winning. The sealed Flame Sword Agni was waiting for him under the energy tower of the camp, even if it was a sealed holy sword, according to the setting, it only lost the power of the elements, and the sharpness attached to its own material was not something that the body of this black bear could resist.
There are still two kilometers left, then it will be returned, it will be in time. Li Jianghao felt that the physical fitness of this body was much stronger than his actual physical fitness, and he could run to the energy tower within ten minutes. Now all you have to do is lure the black bear towards the portal, then get the Holy Sword and hack it to death!
Li Jianghao could only make such a decision, took out a pickaxe from the backpack behind him, and stood side by side with the other workers who rushed forward.
"Lead by example and increase your hope value slightly."
Li Jianghao ignored the hints in his mind, and there were two numerical systems in the game: dissatisfaction and hope. If the dissatisfaction value is too high, or the hope value is too low, people will choose to banish the mayor or execute the mayor directly, and play GG in laughter.
Although in the eyes of the bigwigs, dissatisfaction and hope are not fulfilled, that is, there is no dissatisfaction with hope, and there is no need to worry at all.
"I'll take two people to throw stones to attract this guy, and you will find an opportunity to pick up the person in front. Sir, we are glad that you are fighting alongside us, while others are waiting for the opportunity to attack, but you need to stay here to protect the children. ”
Bernard commanded, methodically. Li Jianghao even has the illusion that Bernard is the real person in charge of these people, not himself, the mayor. He was a little wary of it, after all, this was not a game, and until the values were met, all the population would obey his orders without reservation.
"Sir, there are so many of us who can kill this bear, but it is inevitable that someone will die, I hope you can take care of the children of the victims."
Bernard said sadly, picked up the pickaxe, and stood silently in front of him.
"Maybe I'm misunderstood, it's the end of the world, and I'm still fighting for power." Li Jianghao muttered, his eyes became firm, he pulled Bernard's shoulders and let him stand behind him, and said: "Now is not the time to talk about sacrifice, I promise, no one will die here today." ”
Maybe after saying this, Li Jianghao himself felt a little embarrassed, and the tension in his heart gradually turned into an excitement, his face began to be ruddy, and something seemed to be burning all over his body.
Soon, the boys of the advance team returned. Luckily, none of them were hurt.
"Mr. Bernard, ahead, we met a black bear near the road into the low-lying area, and we wanted to lure it somewhere else, but it chased us all the way. Sorry, we didn't mean to lead it here. ”
"Relax Ander, it's not your fault. Let's go to the back and rest. Tell the kids that we're going to have bear soup tonight. ”
Without waiting for Bernard to speak, Li Jianghao was the first to respond, reassuring everyone, he remembered the names of everyone here. He has put himself in the role of mayor, and now, he has an obligation to protect his people.
"Roar!"
The black bear saw so many people waiting for it, and the hunger in its belly made it lose the animal's little rational emotion, and after stagnation for half a moment, it rushed towards the crowd.
"It's coming!"
