Chapter 156 Re-election
The brothers Xia Qi and Xia Guang also came over at this time and looked at the captain worriedly. They were really afraid that Zhang Xiaobai would act impulsively.
Zhang Xiaobai walked into the makeshift house and sat down on a chair tiredly. He felt dizzy and couldn't help but rub his solar plexus and forehead. "The crystal nucleus is too deep in the human body. With the current medical level, the mortality rate is as high as 80%. It is too dangerous and cannot be removed."
Xia Guang was much more mature now, but still retained a bit of his nature, and said with a bright smile: "Why will so many humans be controlled in the future? If everyone becomes the same as robots, it will be boring to death.
And such technology should be difficult to achieve, so don't worry too much. I think they just want to establish a new belief, but complete control is unlikely in my opinion."
Several people remained silent. With the current strength of Base No. 3, it would be almost impossible to destroy the Future Society. They couldn't even intervene in Base No. 1.
Pu Zhi listened to their conversation and pursed her lips. It would be troublesome if the crystal core could not be removed.
However, in the future, they should not want to completely turn people into puppets, as that would be too difficult. According to what Shangxi said, Pu Zhi was more inclined to Xia Guang's idea that they should establish a new belief and form an alliance to bring people from all over the world together.
Before that, people from each country need to be gathered together, so the voice guided them to Base No. 1.
Just then, a soldier came with a letter: "Base Commander, a letter from Base No. 2!"
Pu Zhi used his special ability to quickly scan and read the contents above.
The people at Base No. 2 had just seen the Buddha statue and heard the same words, and some of them also knelt down as if they were fascinated.
Even the elderly base commander knelt down. He Bufan felt powerless and suppressed him with his strength.
Isn't it just voice transmission? She directly covered everyone with her mental power and transmitted her voice into everyone's mind.
When the powerful voice rang out, those people realized how stupid they had been.
Nowadays, there are so many kinds of supernatural powers, but they actually believed in it just because of a sound and an image.
In the end, He Bufan overpowered everyone else, terminated the base chief's position and took over as the acting chief himself.
In the letter, she also asked whether any Buddha statues had been seen at Base No. 3. Finally, she reminded Zhang Xiaobai that he must not let the future meeting’s plan succeed and must build good public confidence, otherwise there would be endless troubles in the future.
After reading the letter, Zhang Xiaobai felt for the first time that the supernatural powers that countless people had envied and praised in the past were not useful. If he had the same supernatural powers as He Bufan, he could easily resolve this farce.
The Buddha statue in the sky gradually disappeared, and many people in the base were still chanting "Amitabha".
Afterwards, Zhang Xiaobai personally gave a speech to everyone in Base No. 3, accusing the Future Society of its evil deeds and the falsity of the Buddha statue, and warning everyone not to believe it.
However, early the next morning, the Buddha statue appeared again, gave another brief teaching, and finally asked people to go to Luofeng City.
Zhang Xiaobai's speech was completely destroyed. Even after breakfast that morning, more than 200,000 people demanded that Zhang Xiaobai resign from the position of base director and they wanted a new election.
Pu Zhi was amused by these people. He really picked up the bowl to eat meat, and put down the chopsticks to curse his mother.
Even though many people disagreed, and even half of them supported Zhang Xiaobai, the number of more than 200,000 was too large, and he had to hold an election that would slap him in the face in a barren evacuation point on the edge of the ruins.
There are more than ten candidates for base chief, some of whom are self-nominated and some are nominated by the public.
Even Bai Feng, who is currently in the third team, was recommended. He waved his hand hastily: "I won't take the position. Even if you choose me, I won't take the position."
Zhang Xiaobai didn't care who others recommended. He just sat on the stool on the platform with a cold face and silence. He really wanted to throw away this burden, but he couldn't bear to see those kind and innocent people being manipulated by the higher-ups.
Before the election, each candidate is allowed to give a speech.
Zhang Xiaobai listened quietly to those people bragging, but the people on the ground were very excited. They really felt that the man would fulfill his promise after becoming the base commander.
With just one glance, he felt that this man was greedy and had a treacherous look on his face. Sure enough, the assistant next to him introduced: "The deputy minister of the Ministry of Food, Qian Zhiyan, was promoted not long ago. He is suspected of corruption and bribery, and his subordinates are involved in several unclear murders."
Zhang Xiaobai's eyes flashed with displeasure, and his voice was filled with anger: "Why are you talking about it now? Why didn't the person in charge of supervision report it before?"
The assistant lowered his head and said carefully: "His uncle is the director of the armed forces, and his daughter has established a relationship with the captain of the hunting team three. No one dared to provoke him, so no one dared to say anything..."
Zhang Xiaobai snorted coldly. It had been less than a year since this card was cleared, but it had bred so much darkness and ugliness so quickly, and it happened under his control. How could he not be angry?
"Since the Supervision Department doesn't dare to offend him, it seems that they dare to offend me. All the leaders of the Supervision Department will be dismissed. This man and his uncle will all be dismissed. Then investigate the people related to them. As long as they have committed a crime, they will all be dismissed!"
The assistant didn't expect the head of the base to be so angry, and he didn't dare to speak loudly. He could only ask in a low voice: "Then should he still hold the election?"
"Heh." Zhang Xiaobai sneered, holding the handle of the chair tightly. "Why don't you vote? Choose! After the vote, let everyone in the base see what they chose!"
The assistant didn't even dare to breathe. The base commander in front of him didn't seem to worry about his position being taken away. Instead, he was more worried about the corrupt officials in the base.
He is really good and responsible, but unfortunately many people in the base cannot see it and are only willing to believe what they see.
It was already afternoon when they finished their speeches. Voting was conducted offline. Everyone had a wooden stick of the same size with an orange tip, about the size of a baby's little finger.
A total of 800,000 people are divided into 80 areas. Each area needs a box for all candidates including Zhang Xiaobai. Everyone can put the sign into the candidate of their choice, and finally the new base leader will be selected by weighing.
The voting of 800,000 people was chaotic, but it was completed within half an hour.
All the boxes containing signatures were placed on a temporary platform under the watchful eyes of everyone, so there was no possibility of cheating.
The sticks in each box will be poured out and weighed, and the result will be announced over a loud speaker.
“Yijiu: 10.2, 12, 12.9… a total of 1020.5 kilograms.
Zhao Jianshu: 13.1, 9.9, 15...a total of 1000.2 kilograms.
..."
As one group of numbers after another were read out, everyone placed all their hopes on Qian Zhiyan, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Food, and the base director and deputy base director.
