Starting As a Planetary Governor

The Empire's territory encompassed endless stars. In this dark and terrifying distant future, there was only endless war.

Gu Hang, having become a Planetary Governor, became the...

Chapter 184: What rank can the Engine Prophet be assigned?

For Hu Ke, the past six months of fleeing to the north have made him even more nervous than when he was escaping in his hometown, Chonglu Fort.

The brutality of the Battle of Heavy Fort was much more exaggerated than the current escape to the north. But at that time, he was alone and only wanted his own life.

However, this time, he brought his entire family with him.

This kind of psychological pressure is much heavier than before.

But with his own abilities, the deformed monsters on the road often did not pose a threat to him. Sometimes, he could control multiple deformed monsters to help him find some food.

Of course, he also adheres to the principle of not using the same deformed monster for too long to avoid danger after it gets out of control.

With his own abilities and a bit of luck, he and his family not only escaped from the pursuit of the Natural Salvation Society, avoided the threat of the deformed monsters, but also avoided the looters whose numbers had increased significantly during the turmoil, and successfully came to the northernmost end of the Qinggu area from the southernmost tip.

Here, he heard about the alliance and that a governor had arrived on the Angry Owl Star and issued a declaration to save the entire world.

Of course, just this alone is not enough to make people feel touched.

Who doesn’t know how to blow?

However, based on what he had heard, in the so-called Central Province, in the Twin Cities region of the alliance's capital, it seemed... things were going quite well?

What surprised him most was that he heard that a clan of green-skinned orcs appeared in the ruins of the tower, but were eventually dealt with by the Governor.

The ruins of the tower, he only needed to think about it for a moment before he knew it was the biological research institute where he had worked. He could guess why the greenskin disaster had occurred there, as part of his job at the time was to study the greenskins.

A mortal like me can survive to the post-war era by freezing myself; Govaga can live to this day by relying on life-extending surgery; but what's so great about the green-skinned orcs, whose vitality is completely different from that of humans, being able to survive to this day?

The living samples used in previous research were not destroyed, which was a serious mistake. However, when the war came, everything was in chaos and people were busy escaping, resisting, and dying, so it was understandable that they did not pay attention to this matter.

And the living specimens have survived to this day and have evolved into a greenskin clan tribe, which is a huge disaster.

But it was actually handled by the governor?

This was beyond his expectations.

He knew how difficult the greenskins were to deal with once they formed a clan.

Can you deal with that green-skinned tribe with just two cities, a province, and the support of a population of at most a million people?

Can you go up to the sky to fight a battle and kill an orc general?

That’s quite impressive.

In addition, he heard that the people's livelihood in Shuangcheng was also very good, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

With his abilities, if he revealed his identity and displayed his knowledge, he believed that the governor, if he had a little insight, would treat him well.

But he was really a little scared by his previous experience.

He was afraid of encountering another leader with evil intentions.

If he just had bad intentions, that would be fine, but such guys often threaten the safety of him and his family.

With his abilities, even if he didn't surrender to the governor, he could still survive by finding a place to live in seclusion.

It's that quality of life...

Thinking of this, he could not help but look at his children who were eating voraciously, and his wife who had her back turned and was crying silently, and he felt a little sad.

His child has never had a good life since he was born, and has been frozen with him until now; his wife used to be well-educated and highly educated, but she suffered a lot during the escape to the north, and now she is unkempt and has lost all her former elegance.

He wanted his wife and children to have better living conditions, and wanted his wife who loved beauty and reading to continue to be beautiful, and to have a cup of tea and read stories in her spare time; he wanted his children to have a complete childhood, rather than finding a secluded place with him and possibly never meeting a new person in their entire lives.

If there is no choice, then of course life safety is the top priority;

But it’s not really impossible to choose.

He was struggling in his heart, but suddenly he heard a voice coming from outside the door.

"…It's right here! He lives here!"

Hu Ke's hair stood on end.

Many thoughts ran through his mind, and what he was most worried about was that Gowaga's minions would come to him.

This is not impossible. In fact, during his escape, he was always under the threat of the Natural Salvation Society of Gawaga. In the Qinggu area, this society is very powerful. In the past, they helped those plantations to improve their varieties, improve the soil environment, and teach planting techniques, and their tentacles reached into many plantations.

Those technologies were tainted with hidden corruption, and even secretly transformed many people on the plantations into distorted puppets of the Natural Salvation Society.

Those deformed puppets are very difficult to distinguish under normal circumstances, but in fact they are controlled by the Natural Salvation Society.

In addition, even without the distorted puppets, many of the plantations that received the favor would not recognize the true face of the Natural Salvation Society. They did not know that the alien waves that ravaged Qinggu every year were caused by these people. In their eyes, these were a group of good people, and it was a wonderful deal to exchange food for production-increasing technology.

As a result, he experienced many life and death moments.

Being betrayed, being surrounded by a large number of mutant monsters while sleeping, and having difficulty obtaining supplies in order to avoid exposing one's whereabouts...

I thought that since we were in the alliance's territory and far away from the south, I could settle down here. But I didn't expect that we would be caught up!

He saw his wife and children looking towards him with fear and worry on their faces.

He held out his hand, signaling them to be quiet, and at the same time, he himself was ready for battle.

He was not a person who specialized in fighting, but in his past life, many experiences of escaping forced him to learn many fighting methods.

Hu Ke looks like an ordinary person, but as a biological expert specializing in genetic engineering, his body has undergone many changes. To some extent, it is not a big problem to say that he is a humanoid biological weapon.

Of course, according to the Empire's standards, he was still a human being, and his transformation of himself did not cross any outrageous bottom line.

The muscles on his arms bulged fiercely, and his chest rose and fell vigorously, accumulating strength. If necessary, the power of this punch would be no less than that of a space warrior; and the bioelectricity stored in his body would instantly form high voltage, and pass through his modified hand bones, pierce the skin, and discharge outward.

This is a life-and-death attack.

But despite his preparations, he still felt a little annoyed.

I didn't think enough and wasn't prepared enough. I thought that once I got here, I would hide my identity and wouldn't be caught again. But I didn't expect that there were minions of the Natural Salvation Society here!

He heard footsteps approaching the door of his tiny tent and stopping.

Jason Morgan rubbed his hands and asked the person next to him, "Are you sure this is the place?"

"I'm sure!" The man held the food Morgan threw to him. "I was very ill at that time. I had pustules on my body like those aberrations. I had a high fever and was unconscious. But this man cured me in just a few minutes. I saw him again today. His whole family lives here."

"Okay, that's none of your business." Jason Morgan sent the man away, then coughed twice and walked to the front of the tattered tent.

He wanted to knock on the door, but found there was no door to knock on. He could only reach out and shake the door curtain that only had a shielding effect.

At this time, the door curtain was opened from the inside.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance appeared in front of him with a vigilant look.

Jason Morgan tried to see what was behind him, but the man blocked his view so completely that he could not see anything.

So he could only cough twice and then said, "I heard that you are an excellent doctor. What is your name?"

The man did not answer, but asked: "Who are you?"

His words were not polite, which made Jason Morgan a little uncomfortable.

He is now a 'big shot' in the northern part of Qinggu region. He has been here for almost two months. Especially recently, all he hears are respect and flattery. No one will talk to him like this anymore.

However, his expression did not change. He just said with a little complacency: "I am Jason Morgan, a D4-level staff member of the Angry Owl Alliance. I have been ordered to establish a survivor mutual aid autonomous committee in the northern part of the Qinggu area. I am currently an observer of the autonomous committee. In the past two months, the mutual aid committee has united 500 plantations and sheltered a large number of civilians. Millions of poor people who have lost their homes have temporarily settled in the many shelters we have set up..."

"Is this all your work?"

"Uh..." Jason Morgan was choked and looked a little unnatural. "Not entirely. It's mainly the Governor's wisdom and bravery. Secondly, the military observers and diplomats of the Alliance gathered refugees and contacted plantations. Then, through the military assistance of the two cities of the Alliance, we helped them establish preliminary military self-defense capabilities. The third is the staff of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. We transported a large amount of daily necessities and medical supplies to stabilize the situation... Damn it, why am I telling you about these things?"

At this point, Morgan adjusted his conspicuous red hat, adjusted his expression, and said solemnly: "We are very short of manpower now. We need all the power that can help the people in Qinggu area settle down. And you are such a power."

"I?"

"I heard that you are a very good doctor." Morgan continued, "We have a lot of medicines, but we are very short of people who can use them. You can help those infected people recover without the help of medicines, so I believe you can do more with the help of medicines."

"Are you recruiting me?"

Morgan was stunned for a moment, then said, "If you understand it this way, there's nothing wrong with it."

Hu Ke smiled.

I thought it was the Natural Salvation Society that came knocking on my door, but I didn't expect it was the Alliance.

Isn't this a coincidence? Just now he was still considering whether to go to the governor, but now the governor's men came.

"What good can that do me?"

Jason Morgan looked at the smile of the man opposite him and felt a little puzzled. He had no idea what Hu Ke was thinking. He was just trying his best to recruit this man he thought was a talent: "There are many benefits!"

He tried to look behind Hu Ke again, and this time he vaguely saw the figures of two children.

Morgan gave the two children what he thought was a gentle smile, and then said to Hu Ke: "Let me tell you what I can give you first. The shelter is temporary, and we will provide basic food supplies to all refugees, but... our strength is limited. We have tried our best to feed more people with limited food, but people still starve to death occasionally. We have tried our best."

"I'm sorry that I can only provide you and your family with porridge and let you sleep in such a poor tent. But if you are willing to make greater contributions to the entire Qinggu area, then I promise that you and your family will be treated better. A house that can really shelter you from the wind and rain, and sufficient and diverse food, these are all what you deserve."

"There are also some things that I can't guarantee, but I think you have the ability to get them."

After a pause, Jason Morgan continued, "You may have noticed that I mentioned in my self-introduction that I am a D4-level Alliance employee. If you are really a capable doctor, even after the disaster in Qinggu area is over, you can go to the newly established Alliance Hospital in Shuangcheng and get a high rank based on your own ability. For someone like me, a D4-level employee, the food supplies are enough to support the whole family. There is also money left to buy various electrical appliances that can improve the quality of life, a bigger and brighter house, a friendly, clean and stable neighborhood... You can also send your children to school. In short, your life will become very happy."

"In fact, you can see so many people in the refugee camp. Everyone is waiting for the opportunity to join the Alliance. Even if they are just E-level employees, it is enough for people to have food and clothing without worries if they work hard."

"What do you think?"

After listening to Jason Morgan's long speech, Hu Ke thought for a moment and smiled: "I have to admit that you convinced me."

"That's good..." Morgan also smiled.

"But..." Hu Ke stretched out the last word and asked a question Morgan had never expected, "I do have another question: What rank can an engine prophet who specializes in genetic engineering get in your alliance?"

Jason Morgan was stunned.

What?

What is genetic engineering? What is Engine Prophet?

What is this doctor talking about? I don't understand.

Today's update is late.

I have been working overtime a lot recently. I basically go home after get off work, eat some midnight snack, take a shower, start writing at around 12 o'clock, finish at 3 o'clock, and send it out on time the next day.

I fell asleep yesterday because I couldn't hold it anymore. Today I refused to work overtime and came home to catch up on what I didn't finish, and also to finish tomorrow's work early.

I went to bed early today, hoping that the days of working overtime as a corporate slave will pass quickly.
