Han Junche's words immediately made everyone laugh again.
Chi Xia's cheeks flushed slightly, and she stood to the side without saying a word.
After the laughter subsided, Mr. Mei said to Han Junche, "The alliance is settled then. We'll start by restoring order in the capital and surrounding areas. Although zombies are terrifying, they can contribute to restoring order under our control. It's easy for me to handle, but the key is your side."
At this point, Mr. Mei looked intently at Han Junche and said, "Are you sure you can really persuade those uninfected people to join forces with us?"
Han Junche paused for a moment, then spoke the truth: "My base is called the Starfire Alliance, so there shouldn't be any problem. But at the Sirius Base, less than half of the people genuinely agree with it, and they're only doing this because of General Han Zheng."
After these words were spoken, the hall fell silent once again.
Chi Xia blinked and said, "Actually, I don't think it's a big problem."
"Oh?" Mr. Mei looked at Chi Xia with interest: "Why do you say that?"
Chi Xia looked at him and said, "Mr. Mei, may I ask you a question?"
Mr. Mei nodded: "Go ahead and ask."
Chi Xia carefully considered her words: "When you initially wanted to unite with the uninfected, it wasn't you and the others who went to make contact, was it?"
Mr. Mei quickly understood what she meant, but he still smiled and shook his head: "You may be oversimplifying things. Even someone like me wasn't safe before the apocalypse. Now that I'm in this situation, even if I personally take action, I may not be able to get absolute support."
"As a human being, it is impossible to please everyone."
Chi Xia looked at Mr. Mei and said, "No matter what position you are in, different stances and interests will create antagonism between people. No one can achieve absolute support, but you have overlooked the faith and loyalty of the people of the Empire. General Han made the decision to unite, and with his influence, he was able to get nearly half of the people to support him. What about you?"
"You may not know that you are a figure in the hearts of the people who are comparable to the First Emperor, the Gaozu Emperor, or even the founding emperor. The people's respect and loyalty to you far exceed your imagination."
"Just as you said, this world needs a strong leader. Since that's the case no matter what, why can't we try to use the greatest influence to jointly rule it? I firmly believe that your appearance, with the zombies under your supervision and guarantee, will bring great confidence to everyone. This is more effective than ten thousand words from us."
After Chi Xia finished speaking, she looked at him with a resolute gaze, meeting his deep gaze and scrutinizing eyes, without backing down in the slightest.
Mr. Mei stared at her for a long time, then turned to look at both sides. Seeing that everyone was looking at him intently, he smiled and said to Chi Xia, "You little girl, you know how to flatter me. I am absolutely not comparable to the First Emperor or the Taizong Emperor, much less to the founding fathers."
He smiled and sighed: "Actually, I am also a person. I have all the problems that a normal person should have. After becoming like this, I am also timid and have low self-esteem. What I am timid about is not anything else, but the fear of disappointing the people."
"But you're right."
Mr. Mei changed the subject, turning to look at Han Junche and Qin Zhao, as well as Lin Yi and Xu Fan behind him, and said seriously, "You young people have all risked your lives to work hard, and I, this old man, cannot lose to you."
“My previous thoughts were far too narrow-minded. This time, I will go back to the Sirius Base with you.”
