Chapter 39, Fireman
In fact, up to now, Gu Hang has not been able to confirm whether Yan Fangxu's being trapped is part of Hodgson's warning.

If so, then the ability of the original Angry Owl Sect is a bit big.Not only do they have the storm magic bestowed by the evil god they believe in, but they even have the means to control those mutant monsters to some extent?
But it would be too much of a coincidence to say otherwise.

He also thought about it, is it possible that this is to divert the tiger away from the mountain?

Besiege Yan Fangxu, transfer the main force in the camp to rescue, and then attack the camp?
But soon, Gu Hang ruled out this idea.

Unlikely.

If his enemies were simply mutant monsters, then these monsters would have no brains.

If his enemies were cults, or worse, some people from the Alliance Government, then it would be of little value to them to destroy Gu Hang's camp.After all, whether Gu Hang is causing trouble for the cultists or the alliance government, the most important thing to rely on is his power as the governor.

So what if his camp was destroyed as long as he was alive?Those people are no less troublesome.

Of course, it's not entirely impossible.If the rescue force sent by Gu Hang was not led by him personally, then the enemy would probably still come to attack the camp in order to seize this opportunity to kill him.

And if he personally led the team to the rescue, he might be ready to be ambushed.

Either way, it's not easy to do.

But Gu Hang is not a entangled character.

Now that the challenge has come, face it head-on.

……

In Fuxing City, Hodgson was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the entire city through the huge glass window of his office.

In fact, Fuxing City is not particularly large, and there are not too many high-rise buildings.The interior of the city, the planning of buildings and roads are orderly, which is a good foundation laid by the first governor when he built the alliance.

However, after so many years, although the inner city looks fine, the wider outer city attached to the outer city wall is in chaos.Hundreds of thousands to nearly a million people live in the city, but have no chance to live in the inner city, forming a vast slum outside the city wall.

There was no plan, no order, everything was chaotic.Sewage flowed across the river, supplies were in short supply, and life was difficult. These problems shrouded the area, and it shouldn't be what a planetary capital city should be.

There are many Union MPs and inner city residents who don't like those refugees very much.They think these people have brought chaos, and that ghetto is even more filthy.

But the smarter people clearly understand that Fuxing City cannot be separated from those people.

The refugees living in the outer city ate the worst and least food, had little clothing, and built their houses indiscriminately.Inner city people don't pay them any public services and welfare, but let them do the hardest work, and only pay them a little bit of money, just to keep them alive.

Without them, how can the inner city residents live a good life?How did those congressmen earn far more wealth than they contributed?

Therefore, these smart people will occasionally show their compassion without stinginess.They will provide more jobs and hand out to the refugees, as if they are really saving them.

But they have absolutely no desire to seek the welfare of those who are not residents.

Let the nearly one million refugees live a good life?It is simply unimaginable.People in the inner city are still dissatisfied that their life is not good enough, how can they have the strength to control the refugees outside?Fewer deaths is the only kindness they have.

Smarter people may be able to see the crisis hidden in the low and dilapidated houses outside the city wall.

Beneath those low-browed, dull, reticent expressions, is there no anger?

In fact, the fire has burned countless times.Just a little bit of Mars, still too weak.A little bit of resistance was either crushed under the huge inertia of this deformed system, or it was scattered when the unarmed faced the military police armed to the teeth.

In short, none of these sparks became a conflagration that consumed everything.

But that day will come sooner or later.What is missing is a fuse, what is missing is a fireman.

Hodgson clearly recognizes that he belongs to the 'smarter people'.He can see all of this, but his wisdom is limited to this.He couldn't find a solution, and he didn't have the ability to integrate and unite everyone. He couldn't even control the Alliance Council.

Someone in Parliament secretly supported the cult, he didn't know;

If someone dared to attack the supplies delivered to the governor, he was powerless to stop;
He was exhausted physically and mentally by the layers of resistance when mobilizing the military and police forces to investigate the cult, and the endless debates and doubts in the parliament.

He felt more than once that he was really old.

But he dared not back down.

The investigation of the cult was originally an order issued by the governor, which was to toss the political situation in Fuxing City.However, when he actually checked, he faintly sensed that something was wrong: the fuse and the fireman he was afraid of in the past seemed to have appeared.

"grandfather."

Lambert Hodgson pushed open the door of his office.

Old Hodgson didn't look back, but asked, "Is there any result?"

"We still haven't found the whereabouts of the supplies. Councilor Marion denied that the supplies passed through her. Two detectives in charge of this line are missing. We found many statues of Angry Owls in the outer city. According to the confession It came from a relief house, a team of police officers tried to search it but caused a small riot of refugees, they returned without success, and after more men were mobilized, it was already burned..."

Old Hodgson sighed heavily: "This time, we are in big trouble."

Lambert recognized his grandfather's judgment, and because of this, he felt a little at a loss.

He asked: "I thought it was just the governor who was causing trouble for us, but I didn't expect that after checking it, it really made people sweat. Those cultists are going to do something big in Fuxing City, but what are we doing now? There is no clear information... What should we do next? The governor is likely to be attacked, do we really not need to support it?"

"Who should we send? I'm not even sure if the person we sent might be the one who will attack the governor in the future. The governor may also think the same way, and he won't trust us easily."

"Then we must also show our attitude." Lambert insisted at this time, "I'll go and bring a team that is absolutely trusted."

"Do you know what that means?"

"I know, it means that we have to bear the suspicion of the governor, and at the same time, we will be considered by those members of parliament to completely vote for the governor, and become a splint in the middle."

Obviously talking about the tragic consequences, but the more he said later, Lambert's tone became more and more firm:

"However, I understand what you said last time, 'Only the governor can save the world'. We are not sure if it is the governor, but at least for now, it seems that the governor is a bit different from the previous one. He chose a path that the previous governors dared not take. He has a starship support that the previous governors did not have. I want to give it a try. If he is not the governor we are expecting, then I will do my best to help him Be that governor."

"We don't have so much time to wait for more governors. The whole planet is looking forward to revival, the sooner the better. I am willing to contribute to this first, instead of continuing to wait silently. Being a promoter of the times is far more important than It makes a lot more sense to sit around and wait for the times to change before rushing into the car."

The young man talked about his lofty ideals in front of his elders, and his elders watched him quietly.

After a while, Hodgson let out a long sigh of relief: "I'm already very old. I've lived enough in this wasteland at my age, and I can't make more courageous decisions. You have never been more courageous than me. Your father is better, if you want to do this, then you can do it."
