Chapter 495: Islanders
"Okay, don't be sad, what are you doing here? The surface is in front of you, why do I feel that you are not in a hurry now."
Anna's words made Charles calm down. He did come here for important things, and he didn't have time to think about it.
Charles turned to look at Gordon next to him, "It seems that you are doing a good job here?"
"Where is it, I'm just serving the governor as much as I can." Gordon defended modestly.
"I can let you be in charge of this place, but I need the kind of airship that can be taught by the God of Light, use the power of the research institute, and your people to help me get it out, done, you will be in charge of this place from now on People." Charles promised Gordon.
If I need to go to the surface, then it is impossible to be alone, and I must use all my strength.
Both Linda and Dipper are insane. There must always be someone in charge of the Institute of Relics. Now the people in other places are almost dead, and he has no way out.
Just as a trace of ecstasy appeared on Gordon's face, Anna next to him spoke.
"You are too hasty, so let him be responsible?"
Charles looked at her, "Isn't there still you here? There are deficiencies, and your ability can definitely fill them in, right?"
There was a clear smile on Anna's face, and she put her hands together. With both hands hooked on the neck that was being wiped, a faint fragrance was introduced into Charles' nose as she spoke.
"That's a good deal. Since I am responsible, let me be responsible to the end. You are not allowed to regret halfway."
After Anna finished speaking and kissed Charles on the cheek, she turned around and looked at Gordon beside her. "I am his wife, and I am also the next Governor General. You will only be loyal to me from now on."
The moment he heard Anna's words, Gordon's eyes showed a little confusion, but he immediately regained consciousness.
A jeweled ring on his thumb began to glow red.
Seeing this scene, Gordon's face suddenly changed. As a thing bought from the East China Sea at a huge price, he certainly understood what the light of this thing represented.
But when he saw Charles standing behind Anna who was smiling but not smiling, Gordon showed a submissive smile on his face, and he quickly took off the ring and put it on the side table.
Gordon bowed his head respectfully to Anna, revealing the top of his bald head. "Okay, Mr. Governor, Gordon pledges his allegiance to you."
Anna covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Smart man, really smart man, don't worry, mess with me, I won't treat you badly."
After explaining to Gordon to prepare the vehicle, Charles immediately came to the Navy Headquarters. The airship alone was not enough, and he needed a matching army.
He didn't deliberately want to conflict with the people above, but God knows what's going on outside? It's better to be prepared than to be improvised.
It was already night after a busy meal, and the hole in the greenhouse was covered again.
Walking out of the Navy Headquarters, Charles realized that he was extremely hungry. He had only been drinking recently and basically didn't eat much.
When he returned to the Governor's Mansion, he sat in the hall and ate a sumptuous meal alone.
Anna has already stayed at the Institute of Relics, and she is more attentive than expected in doing things.
It was just when he put a small half-green and half-red tomato into his mouth, it flashed in front of him with a "swipe".
Charles stared wide-eyed, looked at his daughter, and took the food off the table in front of him.
Seeing that she was about to teleport away, Charles quickly stopped her. "Wait, where are you going?"
Shining stared at him with big eyes, "Bring food to Nini, she's hungry, and someone took away all the food from her house."
Hearing this, Charles wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up quickly. He suddenly realized that he still had something important to do.
"Is Nini your friend at the crown of the world? Is she still alive? How many people are still alive over there?"
"Well. She and her mother are still alive, but the big mushroom fell down, and the people above are all dead, but the people below are still alive. They are all grabbing food, obviously they have something to eat, but they still want to eat. Rob."
"There are still a few people alive on other islands! I have to find a way to keep them alive!" Whether it's pity for the same kind or compensation for the past, Charles immediately had this thought in his heart.
Thinking of this, Charles stopped eating, and immediately pulled Shiny to the Ministry of Agriculture, "Xinky, do Dad a favor, send seeds to other islands, send seeds that can grow in the sun, and persuade Let them send someone to keep the telegraph tower running!"
Charles knew that even if the seeds were distributed now, they would not be able to grow them for a while.
What's more, they can eat the previously stored food. People on other islands need hope more than food.
Desperate humans can do all kinds of terrible things, but as long as there is hope, human beings are amazingly resilient, and they can always find ways to survive.
Food seeds that can grow in the sun are hope, and timely communication with the same kind is also hope.
Shining agreed, and she decided that the first one to arrive after getting the seed would be the crown of the world. At least in this way, she could do two things at the same time.
———————————————
Nini with red eyes was locked inside the house, looking at the dilapidated door outside and the warm sunshine on the ground.
The grown-ups call it the death ray, whether it is ryegrass or various mushrooms, it will wither quickly under its irradiation, including humans.
"Googoogoo~" Her stomach rumbled again.
Nini squatted beside the bed, and carefully lifted up a black ceramic pot, which should have been filled with flour for making bread, but now there is only a little bit of powder left on the corner, and the others were robbed. Empty.
She tilted the jar and dumped it all in her hand, but thought of going out to find food, and carefully put half of the flour in there again.
Nini held the small batch of flour with her two small hands, and licked it very seriously with her tongue. This was the last food for their family.
"Boom!!" The door that was fastened with nails from the outside was kicked open.
In came a bearded man with a plank on his head, a sickle pinned to his waist, the same sickle he had previously used to weed ryegrass.
Nini has never seen this person in the village, he is from another village.
"Where's your food? Hand it over!!" The bearded man approached Nini viciously.
Nini was so frightened that she backed away again and again, she waved her hands tremblingly: "No more, really no more, they were all snatched away."
The man obviously didn't believe Nini's words, he quickly rummaged through the boxes, and the warm room was instantly in a mess.
Soon, he turned over the black pottery jar, and when he saw a small palm of flour inside, he excitedly wrapped it with a cloth with his hands carefully.
"That's what I left for my mother..." Nini held back her tears and shed tears.
The bearded man's expression twisted slightly, and he continued to search.
"Don't blame me, my home was robbed. I can only rob others for the sake of my family's life! Now the ryegrass is all withered, and there is no food to grow in the field. There is only so much food on the island. Who has anything to eat? Who can continue to live!"
