(PS: I woke up a little late. Manually updating.)
The convoy and soldiers followed Chu Hao and the others into the valley. When they saw the bright red fence in the distance, everyone in the convoy was a little stunned.
The captain had already boarded a jeep. It was obvious that there were other officers in the jeep as well. When the convoy arrived at this place, the captain got down from the jeep and walked to the front of Chu Hao's jeep. He knocked on the car door and asked, "Why are all the fences wrapped in red wallpaper? We know that red wallpaper can create a frequency zone to block ghosts and spirits, but if we don't wrap the entire camp in red, just the red fence alone won't be able to stop ghosts and spirits from entering, right? "
Chu Hao nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, our goal isn't to stop ghosts and spirits from entering, this defense is just to alert us. It's to let us know that ghosts have appeared, so we won't be ambushed. That's the main goal. We can drive away or even kill ghosts."
The captain nodded, indicating that he understood, then walked straight back to the jeep he was in.
In Chu Hao's jeep, there were all Team Nordic members. Seeing this, Tom said worriedly, "Could it be the old drama of seizing power? It's just like those melodramatic plots in novels and movies, where the government officials are jealous of our ability, and then start to seize our power, right? If that's the case … "
Chu Hao smiled and didn't say anything, but Ares said kindly, "It can't be like that, at least not in the current situation. For the government, the biggest threat isn't the power of a few thousand people, the biggest threat is the ghosts of this world. Don't think too simply of the government officials. They are all elites who fought their way up from tens of thousands of people. Even if some of them relied on their family background to become officials, after decades of working in the bureaucracy, even a pig would have become a spirit. At a time like this, it's impossible for them to seize power. Not only will they not seize power, but they will also actively protect the authority of this surviving town's council and mayor, because in this world, no one is more afraid of disorder than the officials, the higher-ups, and the rich. For them, no matter how bad the order is, it's better than disorder."
Chu Hao chimed in at this moment, "Ares is right. The current situation in this world is the biggest guarantee for me to carry out my plan. As long as they aren't idiots, there won't be any drama where they try to seize power. This is determined by the situation and not by their moral character. Therefore, I'm not worried about this. Next, we just need to carry on well and we'll be able to gradually gain strength to fight against the Invaders. This is the general trend. Once it's launched, the heavens and the earth will join forces. It's irreversible and unstoppable. This is the general trend …"
In the next few days, the situation was just as Chu Hao and Ares said. This group of people did not have any intention of seizing power. On the contrary, they announced their identities to the councilors. Among this group of people, there was a staff member from the White House, a few people in charge of military regions, two mayors, a governor, and the rest were mostly scientific and technical personnel. This group of people was very prominent, but after they revealed their identities, they immediately acknowledged the legitimacy of this surviving town's temporary council and Chu Hao's legitimacy as mayor.
After admitting all this, they couldn't wait to inquire about the origin of the spiritual bullets, the identity of Ares, the origin of the skeleton, and so on. Everything that happened in the town that was fortunate enough to survive really left them completely dumbfounded.
"I didn't expect there to be such a strong scientist among the people. Those idiots from the Academy of Sciences should all be hanged. This is blasphemy!"
These were the words of the governor. On the third day of this group of people's arrival in the town, which was also the day they revealed their identities and acknowledged the legitimacy of the town council, the council members jointly organized this banquet and invited the officials in this group, as well as all officers above the rank of lieutenant, to attend this banquet. At the banquet, the governor drank a mouthful of red wine in satisfaction and vented loudly.
The rest of the people had the same expression after hearing what Chu Hao said, especially the members of the Parliament. In the past month, Chu Hao had not only shown his extraordinary nature as a scientist (Restoration Technique and many other deceptive terms), but he had also shown his extraordinary management skills. Furthermore, the way he dealt with matters made people feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze. A person like him should have stood out a long time ago, or even become famous all over the world. However, because of the people in the scientific community who were jealous of Chu Hao's talents, he had not been known until now. Furthermore, it was said that Chu Hao was almost treated as a mental patient.
The governor drank the rest of the red wine in one gulp and continued, "To tell you the truth, when I first heard that there was a civilian scientist like Mayor Chu Hao, the scientists with me didn't believe it at all. In their words, this is no longer the 18th or 19th century, but the 21st century. In this era, science has been divided very carefully. An ordinary person who is proficient in a subject is already considered a genius. It's impossible for there to be a super genius like in the 18th or 19th century. Take the flying car for example, it involves the study of metals, dynamics, design, energy, and so on. It's not something that can be designed and manufactured by a single person at home. These scientists also said that if there was such a person who could do all this, then this person must be the combination of Leonardo da Vinci, Newton, and Einstein. Such a person can't possibly exist in this world."
Speaking of this, the governor laughed out loud and said, "In the end, they all went to see the flying car together. A few hours later, this group of people were like believers whose faith was shattered, gamblers who lost all their money. They couldn't even speak, hahaha …"
The rest of the people also had the same smiling expression. In fact, Chu Hao's existence was now a flag, as if there was nothing he couldn't achieve. Everyone began to look forward to the moment when Chu Hao said that he would study the nature of ghosts and then completely drive them away.
At this time, the White House staff next to him also sighed and said, "And that Mr. Ares, it's really a pity. Although I've long heard that there are all kinds of strange things in this world, in fact, I can also tell you that as a staff member of the White House, I do know some wonderful things in the world. For example, people with special abilities do exist, but they are very rare and their abilities are not very useful. However, they do exist, and there are indeed things that science can't explain. I just didn't expect there to be such a secret. Alas, what happened to Haoshen and Mr. Ares' family is really regrettable."
After hearing this, one of the members smiled and said, "Isn't it still possible to make up for it? At least there won't be a stake anymore. In fact, I've already become a believer of this Haoshen. Every time I pray to him, I feel a warmth in my body and mind. This feeling is really something that Catholicism can't give me. Moreover, this Haoshen's teachings are very lax, and there won't be any religious persecution like in history. Our church members have already discussed and started to compile this Haoshen's teachings, religious rules, and so on. This should be the greatest relief for Mr. Ares. "
At this time, an old officer next to him suddenly said, "Speaking of which, before our base was invaded by the ghosts, I did hear a rumor from Base 8 that a team of people was found on the edge of the city. There were only four of them, but they were rescuing trapped citizens in the city. They could use a kind of holy light to destroy the ghosts. I heard from the citizens they rescued that one of the four people seemed to believe in something like light, dawn, holy light, and so on. Is this person also a believer of Haoshen? Because I think your teachings are very similar. They all believe in light, hope, and dawn, and they all have power beyond the imagination of science. They can also fight against ghosts. At that time, I thought it was a fake rumor. After all, during the apocalypse, people always fantasized about the appearance of a savior. But now, after seeing Mr. Ares and your Haoshen, I think it might be true. "
After hearing this, almost everyone present looked at the officer in a daze. At this time, Chu Hao stood out from the crowd and said to the officer with a smile, "Sir, I'm very concerned about what you said because according to Mr. Ares, his family is not the only family that believes in Haoshen. There are many other families. I wonder if we can find this team that uses holy light. Perhaps they are also members of an ancient family that believes in Haoshen."
"If we can find them, our strength will multiply, and we might even be able to find the real culprit of this ghost catastrophe."
