Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 34 The Governor has not abandoned us!

Deville went to the door to retrieve the notification letter, sat back at the dining table and opened it to read.

zizi——

The light above the dining table flickered a few times and then went out completely, and the whole room became dark.

Lilith complained:

"There's a power outage again. There have been more and more power outages recently."

Frequent power outages have seriously affected her study progress.

Mattie took out a candle and lit it, and the bright candlelight illuminated the faces of several people.

"Brother, the food rations are getting less and less. What's going on out there?"

Lilith seemed to be worried. She stared at Deville, wanting an answer.

For security reasons, Deville strictly ordered Lilith not to leave the residential area of ​​the administrative unit, let alone go outside the royal court area.

Other families in the neighborhood did the same thing, shielding their children from the cruel and dangerous world outside.

Everyone chose to keep it a secret and not let the children know what was happening outside.

Lest they be overwhelmed by the desperate facts and future.

Deville ruffled Lilith's hair, and said gently:

"What can happen outside? It's still the same as before. The reduction in food rations is only temporary. The problem will be solved soon..."

He felt a little guilty when he said these words.

"The Governor will find a solution to the problem!"

He added, his tone becoming firm.

"You bullshit!"

Lilith was so excited that she almost cried.

These things are always difficult to keep secret, and children will be exposed to some information and may even sneak out to verify it.

And be afraid of it.

"Jenny and I sneaked out to see what was happening outside. The situation was terrible, with people dying everywhere...

Those who were dressed in black like you beat many workers to death and dragged away the bodies!"

"What! Didn't I tell you not to go out?"

Deville couldn't help but raise his voice: "It's too dangerous outside, what if something happens to you!"

"I heard from the workers that there is no food left in the Royal Court District. The Governor will stop rationing food and everyone will starve to death!"

There was some fear in Lilith's eyes: "Is this really the case?"

"That's a rumor. The Governor will not abandon us!"

"I don't believe it. He didn't do anything. He's just lying!"

"Lilith!" Deville was really angry this time. He would not allow anyone to slander the Governor.

Mattie also looked at Lilith seriously: "Have you forgotten the rules of the Lapp family!"

Lilith shrank back and her voice weakened:
"I remember that the descendants of the Lapp family must be unconditionally loyal and follow the great Governor."

Mattie nodded with satisfaction and explained patiently:
“Our Lapu family’s ancestors were once slaves in the Black Mine, and it was the current Governor’s ancestors who liberated us.

It allows us to have a safe home in the upper nest of the hive city and pass down an enviable position from generation to generation.

It can be said that everything we have was given by the current Governor-General and his family.

Without Him, we are nothing.

If one day the Governor is completely defeated.

We would lose everything too.

Those people outside the royal court, those mobs from the lower nest.

They will drag us out of the house and hang us alive, and then inherit our wealth and status!"

Lilith sighed: "I understand. Being loyal to the Governor and maintaining his rule is helping ourselves!" "I'm glad you understand!"

Deville said sternly: "You are absolutely not allowed to sneak out again. I don't want to see your body in the corpse transport vehicle...

Do you understand!"

Lilith held back her tears and nodded: "Brother, I won't go out again..."

"Let's eat"

Deville put the remaining half piece of wood chip bread on his sister's porcelain plate: "Eat more, so you can have a brain to study."

When he lowered his head, he found another small piece of sawdust bread on his porcelain plate.

He looked at Mattie next to him and wanted to push the wood chip bread back: "Mom, I'm not hungry..."

But Mattie stopped him, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

"You've lost weight, eat more!
You are going to go out and work, and you have to maintain the dignity of the Lapp family, and don't let people think that our Lapp family can't even afford to eat!"

"I will never bring shame to the Rapp family!"

Deville lowered his head, stuffed the sawdust bread into his mouth with tears in his eyes, chewed it hard, and swallowed it with water.

After this little episode, the family returned to peace.

They concentrated on the corpse starch on the porcelain plate, which was not easy to swallow.

While trying hard to swallow the corpse starch in his mouth, Deville opened the important notice from the Royal Court District.

He looked at the words carefully in the candlelight.

That was an order issued by the Wangting District. All logistics personnel must gather at the headquarters tomorrow to accept new tasks.

When he saw the back, he couldn’t help but get excited: “God Emperor, I told you that the Governor-General would not abandon us.

He found a solution to the food crisis!"

what?
Mattie and Lilith were both a little surprised!
Deville excitedly handed the notice to the two of them:
"Look, here are the words of the Governor.

He said that a preliminary solution to the food problem has been found, and now the active cooperation of all units in Wangting District is needed.

The mind thinks in one place and the energy goes in one place!

He also said that everyone has worked hard during this period and the supply of supplies and food will return to normal.

Make sure everyone is full so they have the energy to work!

Everyone's contribution will be remembered, and may the Royal Court be with you!"

Deville read out the Governor-General's last words in a trembling voice, very excited.

The Governor's speech this time was somewhat different from previous ones, but inexplicably easy to understand, and even had a hint of intimacy.

Mattie exclaimed:
"The Governor really has a way. He is worthy of being the heir of the Grant family that has been passed down for thousands of years!"

Lilith was also very happy: "Then do we not have to eat sawdust bread and black mush anymore?"

Deville and Maddie didn't tell her that the "black goo" everyone was eating was corpse starch.

It is even more impossible to reveal the specific composition of corpse starch.

She just knew that it tasted terrible.

Deville looked at Lilith and said firmly:

"Yes, as long as we complete the plan given by the Governor and help the Royal Court District overcome the crisis, we won't have to eat these ghost things anymore!"

“Yeah, that’s great!
Brother, you must work hard, the future of Wangting District depends on you!"

"Of course, for the sake of the Governor, the Royal Court, and you, I will not let my guard down for even a moment!"

Deville excitedly discussed with his mother and sister for a while, then went back to his room and went to bed early.

He must maintain his energy and carry out the tasks that the Governor will assign to him in the best possible condition!
"Beep, beep, for the Governor!"

The electronic sound of the bedside alarm clock robot rang, and Deville woke up suddenly.
