Chapter 110 Keeping the Promise
In just over ten minutes, four people have stood in front of the microphone to deliver the inaugural speech of the first decision maker.
The original meeting arrangement was just to deliver an inaugural speech and then temporarily end the meeting, but the result is that the meeting has not ended until now, and there is no hope of ending for the time being.
The fourth first decision maker has already stood in front of the microphone.
In the conference hall, the participants were silent, and no one made a sound.
Outside the venue, in cradles, communities, and screens, countless pairs of eyes were already shedding tears.
The newly appointed chief decision-maker smiled and said slowly, "My compatriots, do not be sad, do not despair.
If the Moon Goddess doesn't give us a way to go, we must use our lives and fists to fight for a way to go.
Many people will sacrifice on this road, but don't be sad or afraid.
This is a necessary price to pay.
Only by paving the way with lives and blood can our civilization truly have hope of moving towards a bright future.
Well, I'm going to give my inaugural address.
I will lead everyone, our entire civilization, to continue the fight. I will not stop until death comes."
He finished the sentence almost word by word.
Afterwards, he smiled, closed his mouth and stopped talking, as if waiting for the judgment of fate.
After a few seconds of pause, his face twisted in pain, but even with the twist, he still tried his best to keep smiling.
“Fight, fight…”
His body slowly fell down, and then the bodies lying side by side on the rostrum became four.
As time passed, more and more bodies were placed there, totaling dozens.
When the latest top decision-maker fell again, people fell silent.
At this moment, all the original officials at the continental level and above have been sacrificed.
All existing civilization-level officials were promoted from their original continental level on the spot during these few hours.
The continental-level official who had been in office the longest and had been rapidly promoted to the second-in-command a few minutes ago slowly stood up.
All the people in front of him were dead, and it was his turn to go up.
He glanced at the dense pile of corpses behind him, then looked at the people in the venue.
"Now, I will assume the role of primary decision-maker. I order all existing regional officials worldwide to drop their current duties and immediately rush to Dajing City as quickly as possible to await orders.
Their positions are filled in turn by provincial officials, and vacant provincial positions are filled by municipal officials and then by county officials.
Vacant county-level positions will be immediately nominated locally.
Immediately notify and execute immediately."
"yes."
After finishing this task, he looked at the many participants again.
"I have nothing to say. As long as I'm alive, I will continue to fight. The Moon God, the Ascending Dimension Sect, wants me to give up the fight? That's just dreaming.
My inaugural address is over, that's it."
After waiting for a few seconds, he fell down like dozens of his predecessors.
The second-longest-serving former continental official, now the second-in-command, stepped forward immediately.
Amidst the silence, the deaths continued. By the afternoon, there were so many bodies that the rostrum could no longer accommodate them, and they had to be placed below.
The densely packed bodies covered with white cloth made the solemn conference hall look like a morgue.
I don’t know how many people fell down before another continental-level official walked onto the podium.
"I also don't have much to say. Just keep fighting. Giving up is impossible."
He also began to wait silently.
Normally, the Moon God in the unknown land wouldn't keep people waiting for too long. But this time, after waiting in silence for a full minute, he still hadn't fallen.
The venue remained quiet, allowing time to pass quietly in silence.
Even after ten minutes, he was still standing on the podium without falling down.
He slowly raised his head to look at the ceiling, a slightly crazy smile on his face.
"Since you won't kill me, I will keep my promise.
I declare this meeting over. Everyone, please take a break. Tonight, all heads of departments related to the arrest operation will gather here to discuss and deploy follow-up arrests."
People stood up silently, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they bowed and paid tribute to the top decision-maker on the rostrum and the hundreds of former top decision-makers behind him.
…
After the meeting, Zhou Cheng returned to the dormitory in silence.
Liu Yu, who watched the entire live broadcast, was also silent.
After a long while, Zhou Cheng murmured, "I want to go back to Dali County to take a look."
Liu Yu subconsciously retorted: "But you can't leave the World Government..."
Before she could finish her words, she stopped herself.
She realized that after today, no, in fact, as early as when the entire team of decision-makers had sacrificed their lives, Zhou Cheng could have already left the world government.
The reason is simple: the experiences of the decision-makers have proven that the so-called most stringent security measures in the human world are useless to them.
Even within the World Government Building, even if there are tens of thousands of people on high alert around it, the Moon Goddess and the Ascending Dimension Sect can still easily kill someone if they want to.
If that’s the case, what’s the point in remaining in the World Government?
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Zhou Cheng nodded silently.
He found the current first decision maker.
Zhou Cheng knew that he had just taken office and was very busy, so he shouldn't disturb him. But there was no other way. He had to get his permission to leave the World Government Building.
Looking at the face in front of him, which was as old as the first decision-maker but equally resolute, Zhou Cheng stated his request.
The old man in front of him sighed softly: "Well, it's time to go back and take a look. Let Wei Ning bring a few people to accompany you."
"Thanks."
Several people took two cars and set out on their journey to Dali County again.
Zhou Cheng had walked this road many times, but this time his state of mind was completely different from the previous ones.
In the past, I would always feel happy and excited when I returned to Dali County, because I knew my parents were waiting for me there.
But now…
Staring blankly at the scenery outside the window for a long time, Zhou Cheng murmured, "Wei Ning, why do you think the Shengwei Sect and the Moon Goddess didn't kill me?"
They value me very much, which can be seen from the fact that I was the first one to receive the information and the fact that the Ascending Dimension Sect deliberately made plans decades in advance and adopted me.
They were also fully capable of killing themselves, as evidenced by the many decision-makers who had sacrificed themselves before their eyes.
But...why don't you kill me?
