Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 197 Theft

Faced with this problem, Purficott certainly knew that this was a harbinger of the coming end.

After all, the final cold winter is not a sudden temperature drop of dozens of degrees, but a gradual process.

Although this step-by-step approach is only relative, in fact it still compresses climate change that would take at least hundreds or even thousands of years into just a decade.

For the world at large, this is still an instant change.

But for humans, this is already a relatively long time, but it is a pity that humans did not notice this change at the first time, so too much time was wasted.

Now, Purficott had to try to mend the sky with one hand and catch up on this wasted time.

So in the face of the worries among the crowd, Purficott could only say confidently: "It doesn't matter, I will solve these problems."

Hearing Purficott say this, everyone took it for granted.

No one would doubt that a talented master of alchemy whose empire is now at its peak cannot solve the problem of a mere snowstorm. Even if he can, it is just because of his lack of knowledge.

Everyone thought so, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Everyone thinks so and has such confidence, which also makes them more and more enthusiastic about Purficott. They surround her and try to leave a deep enough impression on her so that they can be able to do it in the future. Get the biggest share of the plan to develop the North.

The huge northern border is an unexplored blue ocean for the New World colonies. As long as the empire develops the northern border, they can make a lot of money immediately by virtue of their location advantage.

However, for Purficott, this was too much torture. She actually disliked this kind of aristocratic entertainment.

Everyone wears hypocritical masks on their faces, and the enthusiasm and compliments on their faces are just pretended, just to get more benefits from her.

This made Purficott feel sick and bored, but she had to maintain the same hypocritical expression on her face to deal with these people who, in her opinion, had no chance of surviving the apocalypse.

The empire may retain its existing framework after the end of the world because of its early investment, and some of the royal family, nobles, and emerging capitalists will also remain, but this will obviously be more biased towards the truly great local nobles and great capitalists. capitalist.

Yes, Purficott didn't think they could survive the final winter.

When the end really comes, the old order will fall apart, and money, power and status will become meaningless.

To put it more bluntly and harshly, the status of the so-called big businessmen and big factory owners in these New World colonies is not high enough, and they are not important enough to the empire. Everything they have now cannot help them succeed here. Survive the apocalypse.

Although they are all big businessmen and factory owners, and theoretically have more chances to survive than ordinary people, for Purficott, they are only useful to her now. When the end comes, Their role is even less than that of a worker.

Purficott has a clear and clear understanding of this point.

Without her help, not many people in the entire empire could survive, let alone the colonies.

Purficott can be sure that as the temperature further drops, riots and riots will soon occur in the New World colonies. Although her previous intervention has suppressed the independence movement, this does not mean that social issues in the New World colonies have been suppressed. solve. It has only been suppressed temporarily. When a suitable opportunity is encountered, all this will be detonated again.

And the doomsday crisis is undoubtedly such a fuse that can detonate everything, and even make it explode more violently.

Because by that time, the empire's mainland, which was originally able to deter the colonies, will also fall apart. Without the deterrence of the empire's mainland, the conflicts and problems that have been suppressed in the New World colonies will emerge.

Logically speaking, Purficott, who had foreseen all this, should have found a way to solve the problem so that more people could survive.

When riots and riots break out at the end of the world, and even resistance movements and wars break out, many people will die, and many more people will die than under normal circumstances.

But Purficott did not interfere in this matter.

The reason is also very simple, that is, she cannot save so many people.

According to her plan, the North will be able to sustain hundreds of thousands of people in the future. Under the extreme cold of the end of the world, the North will not be able to afford more people in terms of food output or living environment. .

Even these hundreds of thousands of people may have to be dispersed into settlements of different sizes. Otherwise, the large population gathered together will only become a hotbed of plague and riots under the extreme cold.

Therefore, in order to avoid increasing the intensity for himself and to avoid creating pressure on the entire Northern Territory, Perfectcott could only choose to abandon more people.

This was already clear when she decided to save more people. In order to save as many people as possible, she had to give up more people and watch them die.

For Purficott, this matter is irreversible, and she will not shake her belief just because of this mere hour, but it still makes her feel so bad that she no longer wants to be with these people. Think of it as a snake.

So after casually saying that she felt unwell and needed a rest after a long journey, Purficott left the reception dinner venue specially held for her and found a lounge prepared for the guests, ready to take a breather.

However, when she arrived at the lounge, a rude waiter at the door collided with her.

Purficott didn't pay attention to this. Claudia beside her immediately rushed up and pulled the waiter away, without causing any impact on Purficott.

After the waiter apologized in horror, Purficott had no intention of pursuing the matter and waved him away.

However, when she sat down in the lounge and took a rest, when she touched her arms, she found that she had lost something. The Midas Rod and Flying Stone she had placed in her arms were gone.

This made Purficott suddenly change his color and said to Claudia: "Go and catch the waiter just now. He is a thief and took my things! Let the Governor assist you!"

When Claudia heard Purficott's words, her eyes suddenly turned sharp, and endless anger arose in her heart. A thief actually stole in front of her, which was a great insult to her.

And as Claudia approached the Governor, the whole New Shake suddenly became very excited.
