Chapter 8, real salvation
Although Gu Hang's arrival was unexpected, and no grand welcome ceremony could be held in a hurry, the people in the Wasted Dong Society still tried their best to create some pomp and ceremony, trying to make the Governor feel their respect.
When Gu Hang entered the mine through the gate, which had been cleaned as much as possible, he saw that all the lights in the mine were lit.
The people of the Wasted Cave Society lined up on both sides of the mine tunnel, welcoming the arrival of the person who would decide their future destiny.
Gu Hang was not the first to come in. His current military supervisor, Captain Yan Fangxu, had already brought in hundreds of people.
Along the way, the servitor soldiers pulled up a human wall to separate the passage from the residents of Wastedong Society.
The soldiers stood straight with their guns in hand, while the people around them knelt down one after another when Gu Hang passed by.
Wherever Gu Hang went, people would kneel down to greet him.
Apart from people, there is nothing else the Wastedong Society can do to create a scene.
Among the crowd, Gu Hang walked all the way, observing the situation everywhere in the Wasted Dong Society.
There are a lot of people, but they all look unhealthy. There are some mining tools, hoes, carts, etc. in the mine. It is purely manual work, and there is no equipment or equipment.
As he walked, he came to a cavity area in the mine. This place was used by the people of the Wasted Dong Society as a square and an important residential area. Many simple buildings with wooden structures were built in a messy manner. This should be
It is home to many people.
More residents of the Wastedong Society gathered here.
When Gu Hang stepped into it, hundreds of people, led by leader Patel, knelt down.
Respect is fully demonstrated.
Here, a temporary platform was also set up.
Gu Hang walked up, and the microphone was already set up. The voice he spoke here could not only be heard by the people in the small square inside the mine, but could also be transmitted to people outside the mine through the speakers placed throughout the mine.
People in the square.
After all, this mine square is not big enough to gather 900 people.
Standing on the stage, Gu Hang stared at the faces under the dim light. He could see on their faces the joy of surviving the disaster and the gratitude to him as the savior.
But equally, there is also a lack of confusion in their expressions about the future, doubts about him as the person who determines everyone's next fate, and the numbness left behind in the hopeless life in the wasteland.
There is a long way to go.
But he still spoke slowly: "Residents of Feidongshe, I am your governor, Gu Hang."
"Today, I saw all the people kneeling down to me and expressing their surrender to me. This is good and proves that you have made the right choice."
"Your leader, Patel, asked me for salvation, and I agreed to it."
"I led the army to the Wasted Dongshe and eliminated the bandits who threatened you. One hundred and forty-six corpses were neatly placed outside, and the eleven prisoners will be witnessed by all of you later.
Come down and be judged."
"The salvation you want has already been obtained; but the salvation I want to give you has only just begun."
"In the harsh and merciless wasteland, whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, they are always threatening our survival. Today the 'prisoners' have come, and tomorrow something else may come. You need to have the ability to protect yourself,
And I will arm you. This is the first salvation I will give you next."
"You work hard day and night in the mines, but all you get in exchange is a life without sunshine all day long, not enough food and clothing, and people die every winter. You have the right to live a better life,
And I will let everyone who is willing to work hard live a better life. This is the second salvation I want to give you."
"A safe environment, food and clothing, these may be your biggest wishes now. But when you are full, you will have more wishes, a better living environment, better spiritual enjoyment, and even
Self-realization, sense of honor, belief...and I will provide you with a platform to pursue a higher level. This is the third salvation I want to give you."
"In my plan, after I give these three items to you, and after I let you live a safe and prosperous life, that's when I can truly save you!"
Gu Hang finished his speech, and at this moment, whether those who were lucky enough to be able to see Gu Hang's face in the square, or those who were crowded in other places and could only hear the sound from the speakers, all the people in the waste cave community
The residents are already rejoicing!
When Gu Hang said that all the bandits outside had been killed, everyone was already rejoicing. The bandits killed and captured their compatriots and blocked them in the cave for many days. Their food reserves were exhausted. They
I have been in panic all day long, and now I am finally rescued, and I can’t even half-durate my gratitude.
And when Gu Hang talked about arming them, some residents, especially the young and passionate ones, became even more excited. People in the Wasted Dong Society have always known that there are guns and cannons in the wasteland.
The importance of this. In this place where the weak eats the strong, there is no ability to protect oneself. It is just a piece of meat. Regardless of whether it is fat or thin, someone will always want to take a bite. After all, everyone is starving.
But guns and guns are not free. The most valuable thing in the wasteland is the arms trade. And the people in the wasteland society have difficulty eating and clothing, and they can't afford them at all.
Only with weapons can you feel safe. If the same thing happens this time, let alone whether you can fight or not, at least you have the strength to fight. You won't just sit back and wait for death like now, and you can only rely on others to save you.
The second item, the matter of having enough food and clothing, aroused even greater passion! Gu Hang’s statement struck a chord deep in their hearts!
We are so industrious, we work so hard, why can't we get a full meal in exchange? They don't understand the exploitation of the external market, and they don't understand the difference in value between primary products and processed products, but...the Governor-General said that he would give them food and clothing!
This alone is enough for them to fully support whatever the Governor wants to do!
As for the third point, the so-called 'higher pursuit'... everyone is not particularly touched, and even feel confused. Just living is already very difficult, and they rarely think about more things in their lives. They don't understand
What are the so-called 'self-realization' and 'sense of honor' talking about.
If you cheer, that’s because it’s a continuation of the previous things. What the Governor says is always right!
But there are always a few people who keep thinking despite the torture of a painful life. When they heard what the Governor said, their eyes lit up.
The vast majority of people in the Wasted Dong Club were inspired by Gu Hang's speech!
They can already see that a bright and hopeful road is opening up before their eyes.
