The councillors around the round table were silent for a moment, and one of them spoke first:
"Overall, it is still within controllable range. I don't think there is anything worth singleing out."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person immediately began to refute:
"Matthew, you have been like this for many years. The accumulation of all the small deviations may lead to ultimate failure. Don't forget who we are and our ultimate mission."
“…”
The man stopped talking, and the old man who spoke first took over the topic:
“Let me say, there are still some things that need to be discussed.
“First thing’s first: the outer city homeless cleanup program should end.
“Although it’s a little different from what we imagined, the results are not too different.”
A congressman immediately took over the conversation. This person was the one who suggested arresting the homeless not long ago:
“Yeah, who would have thought that those illegal immigrants would be an important part of the infected?
“That’s good. I don’t need to expand my production line anymore. Nearly half of the illegal immigrants are dead, and the rest have been detained.
"Taking into account the losses of the civilians, these people are just enough to replenish the assembly line, and the stability will also increase. But speaking of the assembly line, do we have to shut down all our exotic animal nutrient paste production lines?"
"No need, we will discuss this matter in detail later."
After a brief discussion, everyone basically confirmed the completion of the plan on the illegal household issue passed by the last parliament.
There are about 20,000 of these people in the outer city area. Many of them died at the hands of humans as infected people. The rest will be sentenced to labor reform and spend the next three to five years on the nutrient paste production line.
"The second thing is: Regarding the riot in the outer city, some soldiers of the outer city defense army showed serious war-weariness afterwards. Wencheng doesn't want us to ignore this matter."
"What's there to say? Strictly speaking, the infected are no longer considered human. Killing them is no different from killing alien beasts."
"Vaughn, have you gone crazy from drinking the nutrient solution? Those are soldiers, real people with thoughts and emotions. They are not the data on your monitor, nor are they fake programs in your simulation game.
"Do you understand what they would feel when they find out that their family and friends have turned into monsters and they have to shoot at them? How heavy would the psychological burden be afterwards?"
"It's not your turn to judge whether I'm stupid or not. Since you know those simulation games, you should have known how the old era dealt with such incidents, which was nothing more than appeasement, commendation, and conflict diversion.
"Wencheng knows how to handle the first two items. As for the last item, we will change the theme of the broadcasts for the next month to focus on exotic beasts. If time is insufficient, we can continue for another month."
"There are not enough psychologists in the army. Should we mobilize them from various regions?"
"Then we'll mobilize them and let the military propaganda department handle it. We can set a higher price so that Wencheng won't have to ask us to solve even such a small matter."
Seeing that the solution to this problem had taken shape, the elder in the lead raised the third question:
"Third thing: What do you think about the organization [Believers]?"
"Must be wiped out!"
Almost instantly, someone spoke in a harsh voice.
"Hmph, to put it simply, I watched all the videos I could find about Blood Rain, and the person who did it is at least at the fourth level. Even among the super-powered team, he can be compared to the top five team members."
"Top five? I think it should be top three."
Another person interrupted the previous congressman with a serious and rational tone:
"This time he was able to make the whole city rain blood, and next time he will be able to make the whole city rain poison. This is already the level of the top three team members."
The previous congressman felt a little embarrassed when he heard this:
“What’s the point of ranking? Prevention is the key.
“As I just said, the Believers are an organization with at least two known members. One is immune to most physical attacks, and the other can control the weather to a certain extent.
"The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Where do these powerful superpowers come from? I suggest increasing the superpower screening for people under the age of twelve by two times! To prevent this kind of high-level firewood from falling into the hands of others."
"Calm down. We are discussing the issue of the Believers right now. We need to decide whether to make the existence of this organization public and how to characterize it."
"There's no need to make it public. They didn't kill Lucas. Who can you blame for not keeping your mouth shut?"
"Wait, guys, I have an idea!"
On one side of the round table, a congressman who was not participating in the discussion suddenly spoke up, and everyone shut up and looked over.
The facial features were unclear under the gray hood, and the young woman's voice came from under the hood:
"I have a way to solve the three current problems at once."
"Don't keep me in suspense, Nia. You are so far behind your predecessors in this respect."
"The nutrient paste, the protective shield, and the pursuit of the [believers], the core of these three things lies in one person."
"…You mean, Lucas' son?"
"Yes, it's him. Do you remember why Lucas chose this child to adopt? Although I wasn't a councillor at the time, my mentor told me about this. It was because the child's ability was similar to the protective shield to a certain extent.
"We can make it a new protective shield. As for the ability, we can just add a suppressor to the original control element. It's our best treasure. Even the smart people in the institute can't dismantle it."
The word "we" slightly distorted the old faces under the hoods.
This woman was just an ant and a piece of firewood two years ago, but just because she became the successor of the previous Nia, she can now be on an equal footing with herself.
Several old men were furious, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they were the ones who set the rules, and their future depended on these rules, so they could only swallow their anger.
On the other hand, Nia was completely unaware of the subtle changes in these people's expressions and continued to talk to herself:
"In this way, we have a new protective shield. With the lesson learned last time, the problem of mycelium will not occur again, and the production line of nutrient paste can continue to operate. We can also confirm when the mycelium is active and when it is not. It's nothing more than a higher frequency of carrier replacement. In this way, the first two problems are solved."
