Chapter 59: Time is running out
Cady's words made the people who were going to stay in New Manchester panic, and it was not a problem for them to get to minus thirty or fifty degrees with the few resources they had left. But if that blizzard had brought a huge cooling, the rest of them would have nowhere to run.
"Cady! Don't be alarmist, you just want to run to New London! ”
"Tell me how much the temperature could have dropped during that blizzard?"
"Take me with you, I'm going to New London too, I regret it, I don't want to stay here and die!"
...
As confusion ensued, some radical survivors ran to the sleigh truck, which was already loaded with passengers and resources, and yelled at the children and women to get off the bus so that they could get in.
Keith unceremoniously slapped those people to the ground, and the engineers of the Ark were now obedient to Li Jianghao, and they all stood together, especially the four robots controlled by them were still spewing steam, which brought a huge deterrent.
The idea at the beginning of the design of the robot is indeed that there is no way to add weapons, but it is not impossible to cut people with a mechanical arm with a logging knife.
"I'm always welcome to anyone who wants to go to New London, but the rest of you will have to walk forward. New London would also send a ten-man guard to meet them, each of whom was armed. ”
Li Jianghao's face was expressionless, and he was carrying out his duties as mayor.
Then he looked at Cady and asked:
"Can you take me to the lighthouse? I wanted to confirm for myself the formation of the blizzard, which was also a challenge for New London. ”
Cady hurriedly said, "Of course, please come with me." Sir, when you see that storm with your own eyes, you will feel even more that we are weak in the face of nature. ”
Li Jianghao was noncommittal and walked towards the lighthouse.
Bernard followed, he didn't want any moths to happen before he reached site 416.
The lenses of the New Manchester Lighthouse have not yet been upgraded, but the ice mist that has slightly condensed on the horizon in the distance to the south is very clear, connecting the snow-white earth with the blue sky.
Elsewhere, the horizon is blue and white, with no colors mixed in between.
It's like standing on the beach and watching a tsunami, when the tsunami is far away, it doesn't hit your legs from a distance. But with the arrival of the first waves, the simmer-high tsunami obscured the view, and by the time the danger was realized and the flight was too late.
Li Jianghao's eyes narrowed slightly, he needed to concentrate very hard to see the existence of this cold wind clearly, and the signs it showed were not much bigger than a hair.
Bernard confirmed with great interest, humming a small tune in his mouth, "At this rate, it will take fifteen days for the blizzard to reach New Manchester, twenty-one days to storm Tesla City, and twenty-five days to New London." On the twentieth day, however, the temperature in New London drops to -80 degrees Celsius. For five days after that day, the temperature only dropped until the blizzard was gone. ”
Li Jianghao didn't care about Bernard's words, although what this guy said was right, turned to look at Cardi with a nervous face,
"Is there any other way to detect the approach of a blizzard than the lighthouse?"
Shaking his throat, Cady tried to calm down, and said, "If, in the next few days, people start noticing that the cloud currents in the horizon sky are completely gone, they will realize that a blizzard is approaching. Whichever direction the blizzard goes, people will rush to the nearest Portal camp, the only place to live. ”
Li Jianghao nodded, and figured out the reason why the London Gang had just solved the problem in the game's plot, and three groups of refugees who suddenly appeared came to the energy tower.
It seems that the problem of the London Gang is also about to be solved, and after Brian figures it out, all the London Gang will disappear, and the Flame Sword Agni that unlocks the second-stage seal does not need a drive book to trigger its own elemental power.
Hopefully, this power will bring some help to me.
Li Jianghao was not too nervous and was ready to implement the plan step by step.
After the 416 construction site was solved, he would immediately return to New London and arrange for the construction of a large number of infirmaries, replacing all engineers except the engineers at the workstation from their jobs, so as to avoid accidents among the seriously ill refugees.
Although they were unable to save the surviving children of the Winter House, New Manchester and the Ark combined were nearly 200 people, enough to meet the goal of 700 people.
"Time is running out." Li Jianghao muttered and looked at Bernard: "After we arrive at Tesla City early tomorrow morning, we will turn to the 416 construction site." Hopefully, the message you provided is correct. ”
Bernard's face flashed with a rare trace of sadness, and he said, "I play with people's hearts, but I'm still a father." I had already investigated the death of my first three sons before I evacuated, but with the death of my youngest son, I had to see with my own eyes what the power to turn people into monsters was. ”
At this time, neither of them knew that Bernard's young son, who had turned into a living corpse, had been killed by a volley of Keith and others, and then was burned clean by a fire.
Because half of the survivors had to follow Li Jianghao back to New London, Li Jianghao had to spend half a day reorganizing the team, and by the way, he temporarily made some simple sleds and large wooden boxes for storing supplies.
As for the Portal Tower in New Manchester, he did not disassemble any parts, but completely sealed the bottom passage of the Portal to prevent the core of the Portal from being damaged by the extreme temperature, and left a mark. As long as the snowstorm has passed, the survivors can return here to open up settlements.
In New Manchester, others returned to the lighthouse several times to confirm that a snowstorm was approaching. They missed the opportunity to build a sleigh and had to finally charge up the heat lamps and travel to New London in an awkward way.
Fortunately, most of them are young and strong, and there will be no problems along the way.
Li Jianghao decided that the team would go to the nearest Tesla City first and meet the guards arranged in advance, so that he could free up his hands to go to the 416 construction site.
The bloated team began to move forward, and the four robots of the Ark discarded some of the temporarily useless parts and dragged the sleigh at a faster speed. The occupants of the car were covered with wood, the steam hub was completely removed, and the residual temperature in the center was fixed to heat the sleigh.
The unlucky ones can only ride on the wooden plank in front of them, which is called a sleigh, and are blown by the cold wind, hanging on the connectors and fastening to the robot, and have to accept the bumps of the robot one by one.
Li Jianghao lay peacefully in a sleigh car, his eyes closed, thinking about how to face the disaster in a better way.
"The space anchor has been fixed and the steam engine can be started."
The system suddenly pops up the bonus building panel, and Andrew's engine prototype starts.
