Without any alarm, the surging air wave erupted from the support outside the energy tower, almost rushing down Li Jianghao, who had climbed halfway.

This old guy didn't know what method he used, and at the same time as the energy tower started to overload, he bypassed the technology unlock and drove directly to the second order of the energy tower. Although it is unknown how long the initial coal in the camp will last, without the upgraded energy tower overload and second-order state, the pressure of the chamber can be reached in three hours instead of the original one-day time.

I don't know if the new energy tower here has left hidden dangers during the construction process, and the so-called three hours is just the time I deduced based on the knowledge about the energy tower in my mind.

"Bernard, you bastard! You're old enough to live, and you still have children down there! So many people were killed directly by the bombing, and you are happy here? Your son sacrifices you don't want to live, then die yourself! Li Jianghao shouted angrily, he knew that he had to stir up Bernard's emotions before he had to mention the matter about his son.

This kind of person who seems to be disillusioned because of something, when it is mentioned again, many will choose to argue a few words, trying to explain to others that what they chose to do is the right thing, and getting the approval of others can be regarded as alleviating their hidden guilt.

Li Jianghao can understand Bernard's pain of losing his four sons, but this is not a reason to directly drag others to die.

Sure enough, when he heard Li Jianghao mention his son, Bernard twisted various valves a little slower according to his memory, but he still did it firmly.

He locked the door to the control room, and no one could enter the control room unless he climbed directly to the top of the energy tower and slid down the hot steam pipes with steam that could burn people. This was originally a measure taken by the Empire to protect the safety of the Portal's controllers.

The people who came back with Li Jianghao explained Li Jianghao's thoughts to everyone in a panic. On the way back, Li Jianghao explained the ins and outs of Bernard's desire to blow up the energy tower and bury his son. When everyone heard this, they didn't have time to think, after all, the appearance of the energy tower in front of them didn't look like it was normal operation. After the engineer in the team confirmed, he was even more busy pulling people to flee quickly.

The original respect for Bernard turned into all kinds of curses in an instant, and only those children didn't understand why Grandpa Bernard was cursed by the adults.

"The mayor, the mayor went up to stop Bernard." Huck panted and said that he was the only unlucky guy who was slapped away by the bear, and that the mayor did not abandon him, but took him with him all the way, making him very grateful. When people were panicking, he was also the first to think of Li Jianghao, who climbed the energy tower that was about to explode regardless of the danger.

The crowd quickly retreated to the entrance to the low-lying area, the smoke of the Energy Tower was already visible, and the bright lights that had been quiet and circulating were now unusually red during the day. The heat sink, which should not have been moved at all after being lowered, can see obvious tremor.

Now, people can only believe that the mayor, who also has knowledge of the energy tower, can turn the tide and save them. Otherwise, even if the explosion of the energy tower did not affect them, the people who lost the heat source would not be able to survive in this endless ice field.

Some of the original believers began to pray silently for Li Jianghao, and the people of the empire believed in God, and at this time they could only rely on faith. I hope that the all-knowing and all-powerful God can bless Li Jianghao to save them.

"Hope starts to rise, unlock the Code of Faith sequence."

"The faith threshold is detected, and the corresponding unlock condition is still required to unlock the corresponding building."

"The Flame Sword Flame Phase 1 Seal is unlocked, please keep the hope value on the rise."

Li Jianghao tightened the straps on his calves, tucked his hands into thick gloves, and then took off the heat lamp used for heating. These devices, which were originally designed to protect against the cold, can only be used temporarily on the energy tower, which is now rapidly rising, to prevent their skin from being burned by the steam that gushes out from time to time.

He walked all the way to the door of the control room, where the temperature was relatively stable, and where the entire energy tower finally collapsed.

"Open the door to Lao Tzu, Bernard. It's too late to turn back, I can pardon you, use your knowledge to serve people, and regain their respect! Li Jianghao picked up the pickaxe and put it on the door lock, where it didn't move at all, but the tip of the pickaxe was wiped off a piece of metal.

This place can't be opened by manpower.

"Mr. Richard, allow me to speak to you in your capacity, not as mayor." Bernard's voice was heard, clear in the roar of steam around him.

"We have come to an end, and my children have built these behemoths for our survival. But, but they sacrificed. I understand that many people's children have also been sacrificed, and I should not be so pessimistic. But, sir, during my tenure as an officer, I secretly checked all the correspondence about the construction of the Portal site. The corruption, greed, and sin described in it outrageously struck me. I don't believe that such a tower can keep people alive, and I don't believe that you, with power, can keep your heart and not degenerate into such an ugly monster. Prove to me, sir, that you are determined to protect your people, or run away, take your letter of appointment, and survive until the nearest power tower. ”

Li Jianghao was a little silent, he had played the last autumn and understood what happened to the failed construction sites in the plot even when human beings were at stake. The recent Winter House is an example of this, where the camp with the flawed design of the Portal is on its way to collapse if nothing else, and the people there will die cleanly if they don't escape.

"No, you will live, not as the mayor, but as a human who has also come in the apocalypse."

Li Jianghao exhaled deeply, no longer entangled here, but looked up, the stairs to the top of the energy tower had begun to tremble due to the heat, and he didn't have much time.

"The mayor is going to climb to the top floor and go straight to the control room through the steam vent, he's going to die! Mayor Richard is willing to use his life to stop Bernard for our sake! ”

The people who saw it soon saw the figure who had climbed to the top of the tower, and they didn't expect the mayor to do this for them! As Bernard said, a mayor with an imperial appointment letter can run away and go to another camp to mix up a half-job. And now Li Jianghao is willing to use his life to save the energy tower for them, which has been recognized by these people from the bottom of his heart for the first time!

"I know how to manually release some of the pressure relief valve from the bottom of the energy tower, but I need someone to fix my body, does anyone want to come with me?"

Andrew the Engineer shouted, calling for help, they were going to save themselves in their own way.

"I'll go with you!"

"I'll go too! This is our city, and we have to save ourselves! ”

On the tower, Li Jianghao's eyes closed, and the metal that was not boiling hot was hugged up and began to slide downward. The hot breath hit his mind, making him almost unable to think, and the voice in his head echoed again:

"The hope value is full, and the seal of the Flame Sword is lifted. Human courage is the ultimate treasure in the face of disaster, Your Excellency, and I hope you can persevere. ”

In a trance, Li Jianghao seemed to see the crimson dragon, the countless people coming towards him, and the holy sword that penetrated the heavens and the earth and lifted the heaven and earth that was about to be destroyed.

"Flame Sword Blazing, Sword Coming!"
