59%。
The final referendum results were out. More than half of the people chose not to punish Wu Zhixian.
He was only exempted from being a representative.
Less than 10% of the people chose the "death penalty" as punishment.
In the face of such a voting result.
Mu Yunhua's body trembled a little. Even though she expected that many people would choose to compromise and yield, she did not expect that the weak would be the majority.
In fact, it was she herself who created such a strange trial, handing the important right to choose to the hands of the common people.
Did this not also reflect the fear and weakness hidden in the depths of her heart?
She was afraid of the strength of the aliens.
She did not have much hope for the future.
In a situation where the odds of success were not great, compromise might be a way out, considering the survival and continuation of civilization.
She could not shed all pretense of cordiality to avoid completely angering the opponent.
Hadn't these thoughts also occurred to her in her heart?
Even she was like this, not to mention the ordinary people who just wanted to live a stable and down-to-earth life.
As for those hot-blooded people who shouted "Kill the traitors" and "Never be slaves," most of them were soldiers who maintained law and order. They only accounted for a very small number of people.
Only Wu Zhixian's proud and arrogant voice was left at the scene.
"Hahaha, hahahaha ~
"Wise choices. Most people have made wise choices. Good, very good. This is a performance of intelligence and rationality. They will be gratified by your rationality.
"I am also very happy to have gained so many companions. You have declared me innocent, which means that I am indeed innocent. Instead, I am helping everyone and leading everyone to a glorious and bright path. It means that you are all my supporters and support me to become the new leader.
"So, Mu Yunhua, give up your position and leave everything to me. I will handle the next things well and lead everyone to a happy and stable life."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback.
Wu Zhixian had just received a punishment that was equivalent to "pardon," and now he was blatantly sending out a signal to Mu Yunhua that he wanted to seize power.
Provocation.
A blatant provocation.
His tone was a little eager for revenge, as if he wanted to make a new farce to cover up the nervousness and fear just now.
After all, Wu Zhixian did not dare to guarantee that the "death penalty" would not fall on his head.
Now that everything was fine, it was time to vent.
"Enough, Wu Zhixian, you have been dismissed. From tomorrow onwards, you will be assigned basic labor. You have lost the qualifications to be a representative."
Mu Yunhua's face was as cold as frost. She did not expect this person to be so rampant. He was still not satisfied even after being exempted from all punishment.
“NoNoNo~”
Wu Zhixian waved his finger. "Just now, my public support rate is 59%. Most people are on my side, so you'd better give up the position of leader now, lest I make some unnecessary moves. In order to improve efficiency, hand over the position on the spot."
"And the most recognized agent of those noble aliens is me. One of the prerequisites for fulfilling their promises is that I replace Mu Yunhua as the new leader. If you are unwilling to listen to my orders, they may have doubts and question our sincerity."
"So, Mu Yunhua, can you surrender your authority and obediently walk into a cell that belongs to you?"
He had no fear on his face.
Its arrogant face made the surrounding soldiers clench their teeth and curse inwardly, "A qualified dog."
"Take this gibberish guy away!"
Mu Yunhua already regretted that she had not dealt with these traitors on her own and sentenced them to capital punishment.
The consequence of a moment of weakness was that the other party became infinitely arrogant.
And the seeds of division had been sown.
It was from this day onwards that the originally harmonious immigration base was divided into two camps.
The "surrender" faction, led by Wu Zhixian, advocated submission and compromise, and became a vassal of the mysterious alien forces.
The "old faction," which stood beside Mu Yunhua, did not put forward any ideas, nor did they dare to shout slogans such as "defend freedom, swear not to be slaves," and fight to the end. They just wanted to maintain the current stable order.
Or they could be called the "ostrich faction." They planned to live out this period of muddle-headed life.
In addition, Wu Zhixian's character and moral integrity were really shameful. No matter how loud his slogans were, there were not many people who conspired with him out of consideration for morality and face. He could not threaten Mu Yunhua's position.
For a full three years, Wu Zhixian could not stir up any waves.
It was just that as a dog of the aliens, no matter how incompetent they were, as long as they were loyal enough, the aliens would still send a few assists.
So they used the mysterious surveillance device to convey a few messages:
First, if Wu Zhixian could not become the new leader within two years, half of the population would be killed when their fleet arrived.
Second, stop scientific and technological research and development and military construction. If they continued after three months, 20% of the population would be killed when the fleet arrived.
Third, make a list of "disobedient" people. If the fire of resistance in their hearts was not extinguished and they insisted on resisting, all those on the list would be executed when the fleet arrived.
In short, it could be summed up in one word: intimidation.
Choosing a side for Wu Zhixian made him even more fearless.
After the aliens' threats spread, the immigration base was in even more chaos. Their hearts were filled with incomparable fear.
"If we don't do as the aliens say, they will start a massacre as soon as they arrive here."
"If we choose to resist, we will probably die."
"Although that Wu Zhixian is an idiot and often talks big, for the sake of survival, we can only elect him to the throne now. Sigh, I'm afraid that our dignity and freedom will all be trampled to pieces."
"The aliens dare to make us do this and that before they arrive. Our days will be even more difficult after they arrive. It's better to fight! It's better to die in a dignified battle than to live a humble and cowardly life! "
"…"
There were all kinds of voices, but in the face of the problem of survival, there were not many people who remained hot-blooded.
…
Mu Yunhua was also faced with a critical choice.
"Those aliens are really very cunning. They didn't use a single gun or cannon. Just a few words of intimidation were enough to make us fall into chaos and fall apart … They are especially good at conspiracies. Their shit-stirring characteristics should be at the maximum level," Bai Shengqi analyzed.
"Captain, it's better to fight to the death. Use a war to demonstrate the dignity and courage of our human civilization! With the characteristics of those aliens, they will definitely kill every surviving human being. Their purpose from the beginning was to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots! Surrender is of no use. We should abandon all illusions about this dark universe. "
Another officer full of courage said.
"Yes, we shouldn't have had illusions in the first place. Without struggle, how can we survive?"
Mu Yunhua shook her head. "Execute Plan A and end this farce."
"Yes!"
