Chapter 34 The Governor Has Not Abandoned Us!
Deville went to the door to retrieve the notice letter, sat back at the dining table and opened it to read.
Zizi--
The light above the dining table flickered a few times and went out completely, and the whole room became dark.
Lilith complained:
"The power outage has come again. There have been more and more power outages recently."
Frequent power outages have seriously affected her learning progress.
Mattie took out a candle and lit it. The bright candlelight illuminated the faces of several people.
"Brother, the food rations are getting less and less now. What's going on outside?"
Lilith seemed to be worried. She stared at Deville and wanted an answer.
For safety purposes, 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 residential area did the same thing, not letting their children come into contact with the cruel and dangerous world outside.
Everyone chose to keep it secret and not let their children know what was happening outside.
In order to avoid the desperate facts and future that would crush them.
Deville rubbed Lilith's hair and said gently:
"What can happen outside? It's still the same as before. The reduction in food rations is temporary. The problem will be solved soon..."
When he said these words, he felt guilty.
"The Governor will find a solution to the problem!"
He added, his tone became firm.
"You are talking nonsense!"
Lilith was a little excited and almost cried.
These things are always difficult to keep secret. Children will be exposed to some information and even sneak out to verify it.
And feel scared about it.
"Jenny and I sneaked out to see that the situation outside was extremely bad, with dead people everywhere...
Those people wearing black clothes like you killed many workers 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 in the Royal Court District, and the Governor will stop food rationing, and everyone will starve to death!"
Lilith's eyes were a little scared: "Is it true?"
"That's a rumor, the Governor will not abandon us!"
"I don't believe it, he didn't do anything, it's all lies!"
"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 Lap family!"
Lilith shrank back and her voice became weaker:
"I remember that the descendants of the Lap family must be unconditionally loyal and follow the great Governor."
Mattie nodded with satisfaction and explained patiently:
"The ancestors of our Lap family were once slaves in the black mines. It was the ancestors of the current Governor who liberated us.
We have a safe place to live in the upper nest of the nest city and have inherited an enviable position from generation to generation.
It can be said that everything we have is given by the current Governor and his family.
Without him, we are nothing.
If the Governor is completely defeated one day.
We will also lose everything.
Those people outside the Royal Court, then Some mobs from the 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!"
"You understand!"
Deville said sternly: "You are absolutely not allowed to sneak out again in the future. I don't want to see your body in the corpse transport vehicle...
Got it!"
Lilith held back her tears and nodded: "Brother, I will never go out again in the future..."
"Let's eat"
Deville put the remaining half piece of wood chip bread on his sister's porcelain plate: "Eat more, so that you can have a brain to study."
When he lowered his head, he found that there was another small piece of wood chip bread on his porcelain plate.
He looked at Mattie next to him and wanted to push the wood chip bread back: "Mother, I'm not hungry..."
But Mattie stopped him, and his tone was unquestionable.
"You've lost weight, eat more!
You're going to work outside, you have to maintain the dignity of the Lap family, don't let people think that our Lap family can't even afford to eat!"
"I will never lose face for the Lap family!"
Deville lowered his head, stuffed the sawdust bread into his mouth with tears, chewed it desperately, and swallowed it with water.
After this little episode, the family returned to peace.
They concentrated on dealing with the corpse starch in the porcelain plate, and it was not easy to swallow it.
While trying to swallow the corpse starch in his mouth, Deville opened the important notice from the Royal Court District.
He looked at the words carefully under the candlelight.
That was an order issued by the Royal Court District. All logistics personnel must gather at the headquarters tomorrow to accept new tasks.
He couldn't help but get excited when he saw the back: "God Emperor, I said that the Governor would not abandon us.
He found a way to solve the food crisis!"
What?
Mattie and Lilith were a little surprised!
Deville excitedly handed the notice to the two of them:
"Look, here are the words from the Governor.
He said that he has found a preliminary solution to the food problem, and now needs the active cooperation of all units in the Royal Court District.
We should think in one direction and work together!
He also said that everyone has worked hard during this period and the material and food rations will return to normal.
Let everyone have a full stomach so that they can have the strength to work!
Anyone's contribution will be remembered, and may Wangting District be with you! "
De Vere read out the Governor's last words with a trembling voice, feeling very excited.
The Governor's speech this time was a little different from before, but it was inexplicably easy to understand and had a hint of cordiality.
Mattie praised:
"The Governor indeed has a solution. 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 we won't have to eat wood slag bread and black glutinous rice in the future?"
Deville and Mattie didn't tell her that the "black goo" everyone ate was corpse starch.
It is even less possible to reveal the specific composition of corpse starch.
All she knew was that this food tasted terrible.
Deville looked at Lilith and said firmly:
"Yes, as long as we complete the plan assigned by the Governor and let the Wangting District survive the crisis, we will no longer have to eat these damn things!"
“Yeah, great!
Brother, you have to work hard, the future of Wangting District depends on you! "
"Of course, for the sake of the Governor, the Wangting District, and you, I will not relax at all!"
Deville discussed excitedly with his mother and sister for a while, then went back to his room to sleep early.
He must maintain his energy and perform the work that the Governor is about to arrange in the best possible condition!
"Dududu, for the Governor!"
The electronic sound of the bedside alarm clock robot sounded, and Deville woke up suddenly.
