"Report to the leader! Something happened inside the base!" The shouting outside the door sounded again, interrupting Mou Xuan's thoughts.
"Come in!" Mou Xuan said in a deep voice, a bad premonition coming to his mind.
The guard pushed the door open and reported in a panic, "Alliance leader, there are some rumors in the base... saying that the new system... is for the benefit of a few people!"
"Rumors?" Mou Xuan frowned. Someone actually tried to destroy the stable situation that was established with great difficulty?
He clenched his fists, and his knuckles made crackling sounds.
"Yes, leader," the guard observed Mou Xuan's expression carefully, "these rumors spread quickly, and now people are panicking. Many people are beginning to question the fairness of the new system."
Mou Xuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"What exactly is the rumor about?"
"They said... that the new system appears fair on the surface, but in fact it is designed to allow you and a few high-level officials to monopolize the resources, and ordinary members will not get any benefits at all." The guard's voice became smaller and smaller, and he almost dared not look Mou Xuan in the eye.
Mou Xuan's face was terribly gloomy.
He walked to the window and looked at the busy crowd below, feeling mixed emotions.
He knew that the most terrifying thing in the apocalypse was not the zombies, but the human heart.
Just then, Chen Yao pushed the door open with a hint of worry on her face.
"Xuan, I heard some rumors in the base, what's the situation?"
"The situation is not good," Mou Xuan rubbed his brows, "Someone is deliberately spreading rumors and inciting the emotions of the masses."
"Who is it? Have you found out?" Chen Yao's tone also became serious.
"We are still investigating," Mou Xuan shook his head, "but what is certain is that the other party has a purpose and wants to undermine the stability of our base."
"I'll go check out the situation." Chen Yao said, then turned and walked out.
Mou Xuan looked at Chen Yao's departing back, his heart filled with anxiety.
Rumors are like viruses. Once they spread, they will spread rapidly and be difficult to control.
He must find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
In the square of the base, the nine opinion leaders were standing on the platform, giving an impassioned speech: "Brothers and sisters! We have all been deceived! The new system is not for our good at all, but for..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud noise.
Some people in the crowd began to question his statement, while others expressed support.
The atmosphere in the square became increasingly tense, as if a conflict would break out at any moment.
The eight civilian representatives hiding in the crowd secretly observed the reactions of the people around them, with a barely perceptible sneer on their lips.
Mou Xuan stood on a high place and took in all of this.
He took a deep breath, "It seems like it's time to take action..." he whispered.
Mou Xuan did not act as vigorously and decisively as before. Instead, he adopted an attitude of "Come on, let's have a good chat" and invited nine opinion leaders and several of the loudest representatives of the masses into the meeting room.
This wave of operations directly left the spectators with a face full of question marks. The originally tense atmosphere also eased a little, and a strong sense of confusion permeated the air.
In the meeting room, nine opinion leaders and several representatives spoke one after another, pouring out their dissatisfaction with the new system.
What are the "new system is a pitfall", "unequal distribution of resources", "high-level officials are enjoying the best food and drink"...
Various versions of the rumor were mentioned over and over again like cooking.
Mou Xuan sat in the main seat, listening to these familiar nonsense. Although his face was calm as water, his heart was already turbulent.
"Alliance leader, please say something!" Seeing that Mou Xuan didn't respond for a long time, a representative couldn't help but urge him, "Is there something fishy about your new system?"
Mou Xuan smiled slightly, and this smile seemed somewhat mysterious to everyone.
"I have listened carefully to the issues raised by everyone. I know that the implementation of the new system will inevitably affect the interests of some people and cause some misunderstandings. But..." He paused and glanced at everyone, "I want to ask everyone, do you really understand the new system? Do you know what changes have taken place in the base since the implementation of the new system?"
Mou Xuan's tone was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable power.
Everyone looked at each other, and the conference room fell silent again.
The depressing atmosphere is like a taut string that seems like it will break at any time.
"Since no one understands," Mou Xuan stood up, walked to the wall, stretched out his hand and lifted a huge curtain, "Then I will show everyone what the truth is!"
Behind the curtain, there is not the secret weapon or shocking conspiracy as everyone imagines, but a blank slate.
There was nothing on the bare white board.
Everyone: “???”
The ninth opinion leader couldn't help but say: "Leader, what are you doing..."
Mou Xuan raised a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth: "Don't be impatient, the fun has just begun."
I saw Mou Xuan picked up a pen and started writing on the whiteboard.
The series of numbers dazzled everyone.
Things like "resource allocation ratio", "material growth curve", and "population employment rate" are so numerous that it makes one's scalp tingle.
"These are the real data of various indicators of our base since the implementation of the new system." Mou Xuan put down his pen and pointed at the whiteboard. His tone was calm but full of unquestionable power. "Some people say that I have monopolized the resources. Then, may I ask, are these data fake? Some people say that the new system has made ordinary people worse off. Then, may I ask, who has benefited from the increase in materials? Who has got these jobs?"
