Chapter 1025, vote passed
At midnight, Wu Heng returned to the building after completing the evil spirit bone forging.
In the living room, moonlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the ground. The empress was floating in the window, making her face look unusually strange.
"What are you doing? Are you here to take my life?" Wu Heng said unhappily.
"You are so heartless. I am the only one waiting for you!" the queen said gritting her teeth.
"Then are you floating by the window trying to scare me?" Wu Heng said, picking up the towel at the door and brushing off the smoke and dust on his body.
"Do you think everyone is as bored as you?" The empress flew over and asked, "Have you completed the second stage?"
Wu Heng shook his head. "It has no effect. Could it be that I remembered the second stage wrongly?"
"Even if you practiced incorrectly, it's impossible that I remembered it wrong." The empress continued, "The second stage is more difficult. With a little patience, you have already practiced faster than others."
"Okay." Wu Heng nodded and walked upstairs.
The queen followed beside him and continued, "Go to bed early. Don't you have a Dawn meeting tomorrow?"
One man and one soul parted in front of the bathroom.
Wu Heng went in to wash up, and the empress returned to the study to do her own things.
……
The next day, zombie world.
As I walked out of the gate, my cell phone dinged, indicating that a message had been received.
I opened it and saw it was a text message from Qi Hancai.
"I have received some news. Please come over when you return and I will report it to you in detail."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.
The zombie world has become stable, and there shouldn't be many "emergencies" that can occur.
He quickly replied "I'll be there soon", put away his phone, released his four ghosts, and walked out to the office building.
Arriving at Qi Hancai's office, he knocked on the door lightly and walked in.
Qi Hancai was looking through a thick stack of paper documents at her desk. When she heard the noise, she looked up and smiled, "You're back?"
The voice was gentle, but there was a solemnity between his brows.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and the secretary came in with tea and a few plates of exquisite pastries. After placing them on the table, he went out and closed the door.
Wu Heng sat down on the sofa, took a sip from the teacup, and asked, "Didn't you say there was a special situation? What happened?"
Qi Hancai closed the document with a serious expression, "We have received news that the Mawa Eternal Castle Shelter is lobbying representatives of other large, medium and small shelters to jointly resist the issue of the legal missionary work of the Lingqi Church."
"Why?" Xiao Xiao appeared from the side and floated to Qi Hancai's side. "Aunt Qi, good morning."
Qi Hancai also smiled, "Good morning, Xiaoxiao."
Xiaoxiao then asked, "Why don't they agree? And we've been very polite!"
Wu Heng also frowned, a little curious.
Under the current situation, the Lingqi Sect's missionary work will not harm the various bases. What's more, the Yama Palace controls the lifeline of material transportation, and no base dares to offend them easily.
If supplies are blocked, it is equivalent to strangling the throat of survival.
But not only did the Eternal Castle of Mawa oppose it, it even tried to win over other bases to resist together?
Qi Hancai leaned against the edge of the desk and explained slowly, "This has to do with the local situation. The internal management model of Mawa Eternal Castle is a combination of politics and religion. The preaching of the Lingqi Cult will directly shake the foundation of their rule."
"Oh! I understand. They have their own church and don't want us to go in." Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and suddenly realized.
Wu Heng also nodded.
Sure enough, the boycott of Mawa Eternal Castle was not without reason.
The other side's base believes in the unity of politics and religion. The introduction of Lingqi Christianity will undoubtedly shake the belief system on which they rely.
The most taboo thing for a regime where power and theocracy are intertwined is the intervention of another "god".
And it can demonstrate divine power.
"That's not right!" Xiao Xiao held up her chin and asked, "If they don't agree, then they don't agree. Why would they go and lobby others?"
Qi Hancai shook her head, "Maybe... they have their own considerations."
Wu Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, and began to think about the matter in his mind.
The position of Mawa Eternal Castle has been made clear. They will definitely reject the missionary proposal of the Lingqi Church.
According to the information overheard by the ghosts yesterday, some bases are in a wait-and-see state.
If some of them were really incited, the situation at the meeting would be completely tilted.
It will only make things more troublesome.
There are many religious survivors in Western shelters, but the world has long since changed.
Thinking of this, Wu Heng raised his eyes and glanced at the wall clock.
7:40.
There are still twenty minutes until the meeting starts.
He put down the teacup, and the bottom of the cup touched the table, making a slight sound.
"Please invite the representative of Mawa Eternal Castle over." Wu Heng said in a serious voice.
Qi Hancai was slightly stunned, "Now?"
"Correct."
Qi Hancai didn't say much, picked up the phone and dialed the internal number.
After a few brief instructions, she hung up the phone and looked at Wu Heng, "The secretary has gone to ask for someone."
Wu Heng nodded to show that he understood.
Not long!
The two of them were talking to Xiaoxiao in a low voice when there was a knock on the office door.
Xiao Xiao disappeared, and the secretary pushed the door open to announce, "The representative from Mawa Eternal Castle has arrived."
The representative who participated in the meeting yesterday walked in, and two bodyguards could be seen through the crack of the door behind him.
He tried to follow in, but was stopped by the skeleton crossarm guarding the place.
Today, the core area of the base has long been replaced with high-level skeletons.
Those rigorously trained bodyguards were not even qualified to force their way into these high-level undead servants.
The representative stepped into the room, his eyes lingered on Qi Hancai for a moment, then turned to Wu Heng and nodded slightly, "Chief Wu Heng, Deputy Chief Qi, I wonder if you two called me here urgently, is there something important?"
Wu Heng got straight to the point. "The meeting will begin soon. I hope that Mawa Eternal Castle will support this vote. As for the detailed conditions, I will discuss them with Deputy Chief Qi after the meeting."
The representative raised his eyelids slightly, then quickly regained his composure, saying in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Chief Wu, the purpose of the Dawn Alliance's meetings is to make fair decisions. Discussing things privately... I'm afraid it's against the rules, right?"
"Oh?" Wu Heng sneered, "Then your private connection with other bases is in compliance with the rules?"
The representative's pupils shrank slightly, and then turned into a confused look, "What's the reason for this? Is there someone slandering me behind my back? Please don't let the villain provoke our relationship."
"Then do you support the missionary work of Lingqi Sect?" Wu Heng was more direct.
The representative grinned, "Nothing, I have to get ready for the meeting."
This is really disrespectful.
Wu Heng was too lazy to argue and said directly, "If you insist on opposing, Yama Palace will stop all supplies to Mawa Eternal Castle from now on."
The representative's mouth curled up into a smile, as if he had expected it.
Have no fear.
The hands of the wall clock were approaching eight o'clock.
Wu Heng tilted his head slightly and called out, "Glenda!"
"What did you say..." The representative's voice stopped abruptly, his expression froze instantly, his eyeballs bulged, and his Adam's apple rolled violently as if he wanted to shout.
The next second, there was a crisp sound.
The head twisted around and finally returned to its original position at a strange angle.
The body fell to the ground with a loud thud, hitting the thick carpet.
Qi Hancai stood up suddenly, "What about the meeting? Killing someone now will have a bad impact on us."
If word gets out that a representative was killed just because of a difference of opinion, the Dawn Alliance will have no meaning to exist.
What's the point of relying on voting? In the end, we will just go back to the barbaric way of doing things, where whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.
Since its development till now, Yama Palace has always had a good reputation outside.
Wu Heng is now the leader of mankind. If this news gets out, the impact will be huge.
Just as he was about to pick up the phone and ask someone to kill the security guard at the door, the 'corpse' on the ground suddenly twitched and raised its hands, straightening its twisted neck back to its original state.
Only the neck still had traces of violent pulling.
Qi Hancai took half a step back. This was too weird...
Wu Heng straightened his collar and stood up, "Let's start the meeting first."
The resurrected representative silently pulled up his hood to hide the hideous marks on his neck.
When the three of them pushed the door open and walked out, the bodyguards outside glanced at them suspiciously, but still followed them to the Dawn Alliance Hall.
……
Conference hall.
When Wu Heng and his group entered the venue, representatives from various bases had already taken their seats.
Many people's eyes flickered, and their gazes shifted back and forth between Wu Heng and the representative of Mawa Eternal Castle.
I don't know how they got in together.
After everyone took their seats, Qi Hancai still stood in the host's position.
"The parliament begins." Qi Hancai's voice was clear and powerful. "This meeting will continue to review the proposal of the Lingqi Church to legally preach. Please express your views in turn."
The venue fell into a brief silence.
The representatives of the small and medium-sized bases whispered to each other, looking towards the seats of the representatives of the large bases in front of them, waiting for them to speak first.
The representatives of the large bases exchanged glances with each other, and no one spoke for a while.
It was quiet for a while.
The representative of Mawa Eternal Castle in the eighth seat pressed the speaking button.
The microphone lit up with a blue light, and he slowly unfolded the document in his hand, speaking in a steady voice, "Mawa Eternal Castle recognizes the legitimacy of the Lingqi Church and allows it to preach freely within the base."
Wow~!
Some of the representatives in the hall were shocked and started to discuss.
The representative of the seventh seat, the Stairway to the Sun, turned his head sharply and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Silence!" Qi Hancai patted the table and continued, "The parliament is supposed to listen to the opinions of each base. Everyone can speak out their own base's ideas. Speak in order and don't delay the agenda."
Since this was a topic mentioned by Wu Heng, his position was skipped directly.
The representative of Chang'an Qiong, who was in the second position, said, "We recognize the legitimacy of Lingqi Church and allow it to preach freely in the base."
The third seat is New Eden. "…New Eden allows missionary work."
The fourth seat…, “Preaching is allowed.”
The four major bases took the lead in agreeing, which was like pushing down the first domino.
The representatives of the small and medium-sized bases looked at each other, and finally pressed the green voting button. On the large screen at the back, the number of votes in favor increased rapidly.
There were a few red objections and gray abstentions, but they didn't matter.
After the vote was over, Qi Hancai announced directly, "The proposal has been passed! From now on, Lingqi Church is recognized by all members of the Dawn Alliance, and missionary activities must comply with local laws and regulations."
“The meeting is over!”
The meeting ended faster than anyone expected.
It only took half an hour in total.
The delegates left with different expressions, and discussions echoed in the corridor.
The delegates left with different expressions. The corridors echoed with suppressed discussions:
"Why did Mawa Eternal Castle suddenly change its mind?"
"He walked in with Yama Temple. I guess they discussed some conditions in private."
"These big bases are not trustworthy."
"That's good too. There's nothing wrong with the Lingqi religion. If it can really prolong your life, that's a good thing too."
"Do you really believe it?"
"We've already achieved supernatural powers and resurrecting people, so extending lifespans is a little more reliable!"
People were discussing.
Wu Heng, on his part, exchanged a few polite words with the representatives of each base and then returned to his office.
The representatives also left quickly to pass the message back.
……
Inside the office.
Qi Hancai closed the door, her tense shoulders finally relaxed, and she said with relief, "It's easier than I expected."
"What are you worried about?" Wu Heng stood in front of the window, looked at the airstrip in the distance, and then asked, "How do the representatives of Mawa Eternal Castle usually get to and from the base?"
"They have a dedicated airport, and if there is an emergency, they will also use our plane to return." Qi Hancai replied.
"This method of resurrecting a corpse won't last for more than a few days." Wu Heng looked at her and said, "Besides, he doesn't know the original language, so he'll be exposed soon."
The other party used the local language when calling. After being possessed by Glenda, he could imitate the Chinese with a strange accent, but he could not use the original language to report the situation to Mawa Eternal Castle.
The truth will be revealed before today.
"What do you mean?" Qi Hancai asked.
"I'm going to Mawa Eternal Castle and take care of him." Wu Heng said directly.
Qi Hancai narrowed her eyes slightly. This kind of thing happened last time in a Mexican shelter.
After Wu Heng arrived, he wiped out all the top leaders of the entire base, and it is now a subsidiary base.
"Will it be dangerous?" Qi Hancai was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, even if a nuclear bomb comes, I can handle it."
Qi Hancai said unhappily, "I believe you can carry it and run."
Wu Heng then asked, "If I want to replace the leader of their base, do you have any candidates to recommend?"
Qi Hancai frowned slightly.
"I have limited knowledge of their internal affairs. I only joined the Dawn Alliance two months ago." Qi Hancai took a deep breath and quickly sorted out his thoughts. "But I heard that they are divided into the old and new factions. If you want to change people, can you support people from the other faction?"
Wu Heng nodded, "Prepare the plane! Tell others that I was invited to their base to discuss cooperation."
"it is good!"
Thirty minutes later, people near the airport saw Wu Heng and the representative of Mawa Eternal Castle walking towards the tarmac while chatting and laughing, and then boarding the plane together.
When the plane left, someone nearby walked up to Qi Hancai and asked, "Who is this?"
Qi Hancai smiled and said, "Mawa Eternal Castle invited the leader to discuss cooperation. It's nothing big."
"Oh!" The people nearby nodded immediately and then dispersed.
……
Inside the cabin.
The roar of the engine was blocked out by the heavy cabin door, and the cabin fell into an eerie silence.
The representative of Mawa Eternal Castle sat stiffly opposite, the bruises on his neck faintly visible in the dim light.
At his feet were two bodyguards whose necks were also broken.
"What if they don't accept?" Xiao Xiao lay in mid-air, holding his chin with his hands.
The queen said: "What this world lacks the most is people, so just replace them with a group of obedient people."
Granda controlled the 'representative' and said, "If you really want to replace the other side's leader, you can use the model of the Mexican base and let Qi Hancai take charge there first, and then hand it over to someone you trust when the situation stabilizes."
"It depends on the situation! I have to learn the language here first." Wu Heng took out several books on "Language Crash Course" from the space ring.
This is what Qi Hancai collected before leaving.
It’s just that the content is a crash course in Korean, but that’s not a big problem since I can speak Korean myself.
After changing into the [Hundred Soldiers Suit], his body swayed at a high frequency, and seven people appeared at once.
The queen raised her eyebrows, "What is this?"
"Aunt, you haven't seen the properties of the suit yet?" Xiao Xiao flew over to explain.
The seven Wu Hengs divided the books and each found a seat to read.
……
Mahwa Fort, Airport.
The plane landed on the runway, and the sunset painted the Middle Eastern-style airport a bright red.
The moment the hatch opened, a dry heat wave mixed with sand and dust blew in our faces.
In the distance, a group of officials in traditional robes were walking quickly. The man in the lead had a frown on his face. His eyes lingered on the representative's stiff face for a moment, and his lips moved slightly as if he wanted to ask something.
Wu Heng took a step forward and stretched out his right hand, "Yan Luodian, Wu Heng! Our base should have contacted you in advance!"
The official's half-extended hand suddenly froze and his pupils contracted violently.
The soldiers behind him also looked surprised.
Wu Heng.
The human leader elected by the Dawn Alliance.
