Chapter 156 Re-election
At this time, the brothers Xia Qi and Xia Guang also came over 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 exhausted on a chair. Feeling dizzy, he couldn't help but rub his solar plexus and the center of his eyebrows. "The crystal core is too deep in the human body. With current medical technology, the mortality rate is as high as 80%. It's too dangerous and cannot be removed."
Xia Guang was much more mature now, but he still retained a bit of his nature. He smiled brightly and said, "What will happen if so many humans are controlled in the future? If everyone becomes like a robot, it will be boring to death.
And such technology should be difficult to achieve, so don't worry too much. I think they are just trying to establish a new faith, but complete control is unlikely to happen 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, the future shouldn't be about turning humans into puppets; that would be too difficult. Based on what Shangxi had said, Pu Zhi leaned more towards Xia Guang's idea of ​​establishing a new faith and forming an alliance to bring together people from all over the world.
Before that, people from every country needed to be gathered together, so the voice directed 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 content 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 different superpowers, but they actually believed in them just because of a sound and an image.
In the end, He Bufan overpowered everyone else, terminated the position of base director, and took over as the acting director 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 plans succeed and must build good public sentiment, 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 Association of its evil deeds and the falsity of the Buddha statue, and warning everyone not to believe it.
However, 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 to hold 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.
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 Team 3, was recommended. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I won't take the position. Even if you choose me, I won't take it."
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 top leaders.
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.
At first glance, he felt that this man was obsessed with money and had a treacherous look on his face. Sure enough, the assistant next to him introduced him as "Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Food, Qian Zhiyan. He was recently promoted and is suspected of corruption and bribery. His subordinates are also involved in several unclear murders."
Zhang Xiaobai's eyes flashed with displeasure, and his voice was filled with anger: "Why are you telling us now? Why didn't the person in charge of supervision report it before?"
The assistant lowered his head and said cautiously, "His uncle is the director of the armed forces, and his daughter is related to the captain of the hunting team. No one dared to mess with him, so no one dared to say anything..."
Zhang Xiaobai snorted coldly. It had been less than a year since this card was cleared, yet it had bred so much darkness and ugliness so quickly, and it happened under his control. How could he not be angry?
"Since the Supervisory Department doesn't dare to offend him, it seems they dare to offend me. All the leadership of the Supervisory Department will be dismissed. This person and his uncle will all be dismissed. Then investigate everyone related to them. Anyone who has committed a crime will be dismissed!"
The assistant didn't expect the base commander to be so angry, and 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, his hands tightly gripping the handles of the chair. "Why not 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, but 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, only the size of a baby's little finger.
A total of 800,000 people are divided into 80 areas. Each area requires a box containing all candidates, including Zhang Xiaobai. Everyone can put their signature sticks into the candidate they like, 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 results will be announced using a loud speaker.
"Ijiu: 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 group after group of numbers were read out, everyone placed all their hopes on Qian Zhiyan, Deputy Minister of Food, and the base director and deputy base director.
