"By the way, Fanny, have you heard any strange remarks lately, like, that someone wants to leave the camp?"

Li Jianghao decided to leave the evil taste merchant behind, since he himself appeared in Fanny's dream in the form of a flaming bird, it was in vain for him to explain it now.

Fanny was gulping down her meal, thinking about what she had seen these days, and was hesitant to tell the mayor.

"Sir," she asked, "those who want to leave are not bad people, they are just afraid." Will you punish them? ”

Li Jianghao pretended to think for a while before giving a reply:

"I'm not going to punish them, but those who want to leave will definitely die when they leave. If more people follow them, many people will die. Fanny, you don't want to see them die. So you're going to help me stop them, I can't let my citizens die in the cold. ”

He didn't cheat Fanny, and he wasn't a tyrant like Tesla, and he wouldn't punish those in London harshly. But these people have to pay a price, understanding that there are consequences for doing things wrong.

Fanny put down the bowl, stared at Li Jianghao's eyes, stared at it for a long time, and said:

"I believe in you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Brian, the guard in the control room, and several workers from the lumberyard met last night on the street behind the shelter. Mr. Bryan said that London was safe, and that we were the victims who were deliberately sent out to relieve the stress of London when the cold came. I couldn't hear it very clearly, and they left quickly. ”

Li Jianghao exhaled a long breath, touched Fanny's head, and said:

"That's enough, Bernard, the old immortal, who really dares to say anything. By the way, Fanny, do you believe Brian's words? ”

Fanny blinked, and the little girl's jewel-like pupils twitched slightly:

"Hmm—I believe you, Mr. Richard. Unbeknownst to you, my uncle was Alexander, and he told my parents that this cold spell was inevitable and that they would die if they stayed in London, so I was sent here. If you say the same as your uncle, then I will believe you. ”

Li Jianghao suddenly realized that Alexander was her uncle, so Fanny seemed to have such a high IQ, and there was also a family genetic factor. However, this body originally had very little memory of Fanny's family, and didn't even know the relationship between Alexander and Fanny.

Li Jianghao looked at Fanny and said, "Thank you, ma'am, if you can find out where their next meeting is, please let me know." I'm sure their next meeting will not be sneaky, but to publicize their ideas. ”

Fanny loves the feeling of being treated as an equal, and although she can play with her peers, her overly intelligent intelligence makes her more concerned about what happens in the world of adults.

"I'll keep an eye on it, Mr. Mayor."

Two days passed.

All the tents have been upgraded to sheds and a second steam miner has been completed. Andrew is in the process of putting the final test of the steam engine assembly, as he has applied for a steam core on his own, resulting in a surplus of existing resources that will not allow him to continue producing robots, and will have to wait for the reconnaissance team to return from exploration.

The workers who had been assigned to work on the new steam miner, as well as those who had been working in the sawmill and steel, were still somewhat negative. People are fantasizing about making another robot that can take their place in their jobs so that they can be idle.

Even when the end is approaching, the repetition of work day after day makes people a little lazy. Coupled with the covert spread of the idea of the London Gang, some of the sawmill workers decided to heed Brian's guards and hold a public rally after dark.

Brian is a guard in the control room, has been in contact with Bernard for a long time, and has been brainwashed by that old guy who is good at playing people's hearts.

In Brian's eyes, he had come to believe that Bernard wanted to blow up the Portal not just to avenge his son, but also to get the people here to return to London and regain the protection of their homeland.

Bernard had concocted the lie that London had deliberately sent them civilians to the Portal Tower camp to fend for themselves in order to relieve the pressure, and the old man knew how to convince a convincing "secret" in the various imperial bureaucratic systems.

Coupled with the fall of the Winter House in the North, and the terrible events of the resurrection of the dead attacking humanity, Brian firmly believes that all this is a conspiracy of the Empire, and even makes up some settings in his own mind.

The inhabitants of the Portal, who are scattered all over the ice fields, are the defenses that stop the monsters from advancing south. Monsters will be attracted to the living in the ice and snow, and will be lost here forever, unable to find their way to the continent.

Otherwise, how could the Empire-appointed mayor deliberately go to the Steel Bridge to save people, risking being spotted by the monsters in the camp.

The more Brian thought about it, the more he felt that his ideas were correct, and he decided to follow Bernard's teachings to find people in the crowd who were not determined and indoctrinate his own ideas.

Thanks to his efforts, Brian really found a few "like-minded" people.

After the initial connection, they decided to take the first day of work with the new rotation of guards, to have a public party at nightfall, and then to leave before the guards arrived.

Even though it was a public gathering, some of them covered their faces, and the Brian did not go on stage with them. He told his associates that in order to get more information, he had to keep his job as an energy tower guard.

Under Bernard's remote deception, these unlucky people of the London Gang drank and became emboldened, and when everyone was ready to go home to rest, they stood on the high platform and began to preach the theory of the London Gang.

While these people were roaring and performing performances, Li Jianghao was lying comfortably on the chair, his fingers tapping on the table.

Just now, he released Bernard, and he was free to move around the camp until his execution was carried out, so as to add another fire to the show.

By the way, he took this old guy away from him, and the information revealed to him was enough, and Li Jianghao didn't plan to let Bernard know about the things that followed.

Let this old guy know a little bit about it, go and forge a theory, gain people's trust, and then he will personally break this theory.

It was then that the people of New London would truly believe in themselves.

"The London Gang is gathering at 12."

"Please solve the problems of the London Gang and the Winter House within ten days, rewards: random divine beast classification fantasy drive book, fire sword fire second stage seal lifted, typewriter unlock number of uses: once."

The system reported a new task as scheduled, and this guy doesn't seem to care about anything on the surface, but in fact, he is more familiar with the progress of the entire plot than himself.

For the sake of the drive book and a chance to archive, Li Jianghao decided to solve these problems in ten days. He believed that if the system gave him a limit of ten days, it must mean that something more important would happen after ten days.
