394 Lin Hongzhi Appeared

"Liu Xizhao must go! We want a new president!"

"Liu Xizhao must go! We want a new president!"

As time went by, more and more survivors required to hold a general election. Slogans could be heard all the time in the base. Liu Xizhao looked over 10 years older in a short time. Gradually, he lost control of his underlings. No one could reject the considerably tempting statement by Yun Che which could be realized only by electing a new president.

A month later, major families finally did as the will of the people and advanced an official request to select a new president. However strong Liu Xizhao was, he couldn't eliminate all the other families, so he had to agree on the election. But he was still unwilling to give up on the position that he had spent great efforts to get. He forbade the armies to participate in the election and required that only the base survivors who had been registered had the voting right.

It had to admit that Liu Xizhao was very smart. Obviously, no one in the armies supported him any more. Even though the survivors wouldn't possibly support him either, he would at least have a chance if the armies were excluded. Moreover, there were over two months for him to make plans before the election date on December 1.

After the exact date of the election was selected, whoever was qualified for the election took actions, including the major families. Countless propaganda cars drove to promote in different sections every day. Some even spent a great amount of money giving away extensively porridge and materials for winter in the sections with a cluster of ordinary survivors. But there were up to ten million of ordinary survivors. No families could possibly have a corresponding quantity of materials. Especially, they had their armies to raise, which made them less likely to give away materials generously. So they could just give every survivor only one bowl of thin porridge every day. Most of the materials for winter were the secondhand clothes of different thickness and qualities. The clothes were unable to keep warm and even not enough if everyone was just given one piece of them. The situation was similar in different families. No one was stronger than the others. The only beneficiary was the survivors. To be given free porridge and clothes was already rather good for them since they barely had enough clothes and food.

At this moment, someone showed up. He was Lin Hongzhi who had cooperated with Liu Xizhao and hurt Yun Cheng. Lin Hongzhi had hidden himself ever since he knew that Yun Che had come to the capital. The Lin family had also been so low-profile that almost no one remembered them. But at this critical moment, Lin Hongzhi came out and participated in the election. What was more, he somehow raised a large quantity of materials. He had porridge given away in all sections twice a day and a piece of clothes and trousers for everyone. He spent twice as much money as other major families.

"Lin Hongzhi, how dare he come out?"

Yun Che sneered after receiving the message. He wished to take him down after overthrowing Liu Xizhao. Unexpectedly, Lin Hongzhi showed up himself.

"He's with Liu Xizhao. This time, Liu Xizhao doesn't do anything big. It turns out that he's been waiting."

Gu Mingxuan nodded and continued, "Liu Xizhao is not stupid. He knows that no one would support it that he or someone from the Liu family participates in the election. So he made Lin Hongzhi do so for him. They must have agreed on something. Lin Hongzhi is just a puppet. I guess Liu Xizhao has provided him with the materials. After all, Liu Xizhao still owns an army. Regardless of the consumption, it should be easy for him to offer those materials. But I bet the Liu family have no idea of that. Otherwise, they should have fallen out with him for those are the spared materials for the army. Since it's getting harder to collect materials nowadays, who would dare to use the spare materials without a reason? You once said that you will help the Capital Base plant grains as long as Liu Xizhao falls out of power. I guess Liu Xizhao has the guts to use those materials because he remembers your words, doesn't he? As long as there is supplement in the future, it's not a big deal to use the spare materials in advance. But one thing is quite strange. Liu Xizhao should know that we hold grudges against Lin Hongzhi. Why did Lin Xizhao choose him? Isn't Liu Xizhao worried that we would whip up anther public opinion?"

Lin Xizhao should have taken such an apparent question into consideration.

"That's not easy. He deliberately makes us sick by Lin Hongzhi. Since I promised publicly that I will help the Capital Base plant grains after a new president is elected, I can't break my word because Lin Hongzhi would become the new president. Otherwise, they could easily make public opinion and kick us out of the Capital Base. It's even likely that the Xing and Mo families would suffer. If I keep my promise, it's doubtlessly as terrible as eating a dead fly. That could also depress us. What a brilliant plan! It kills several birds with one stone. No matter how I react, they are the ones who will gain advantages in the end."

With a pout, Yun Che leaned backwards lazily. Yun Cheng added peacefully, "He can still be the invisible president behind the scene. That's to say, he basically suffers no loss."

"We seem to be looked down."

Mo Wenyang sat casually with legs crossed. Theoretically, it should get on their nerves. But everyone here looked relaxed. The only thing that upset them a little was that they were treated as fools.

"Is it time to take actions? It's almost November. There's only one month to go."

They had figured out Liu Xizhao's purpose though, seemingly they didn't mean to change their plan. Ye Xingchen didn't bother to ask either. Whatever should be done should be done. He believed that Yun Che was definitely not the one who would let himself suffer losses.

"Chill out. It's not the coldest time yet. Just let them enjoy the moment. He rarely comes up with such a perfect plan."

Yun Che seemed calmer than others. Whoever knew Yun Che realized that he had probably figured out a plan to ruin Liu Xizhao's.

"So, are we gonna be in seclusion?"

Xing Feng knitted his eyebrows. He was not anxious either. Recently, they had spared no efforts in cultivation. Yun Che had already reached Nascent Soul Stage Eight with his super talent and array of aura collection contributed by Heiyu. Yun Che managed to upgrade five phases only within three months. His superfunction had also reached level 7 after the thunder tribulation. But the upgrade of the superfunction was obviously slower. He remained level-7 at this moment. As for other people, they had been defeated by Chenchen in terms of cultivation and level, which was depressing. Not long ago, Chenchen had broken through the Golden Pill Stage to reach the Nascent Soul Stage. He was the second one who had reached the Nascent Soul Stage after Yun Che. Chenchen's superfunction also reached level 5. In addition, he had reached the Golden Pill Stage Nine while others had just reached stage five to eight. Leng Yehan was the only one who had just reached stage four because he had been distracted by the tool refinement. His superfunction didn't improve either and remained in level 6. But Yun Che discovered through the air panel that their superfunctions gradually reached the edge of promotion and that they should be able to reach level 7 soon.

"No, we're gonna carry out our missions under our lead and leave the cultivation to night."

A weird smile climbed onto Yun Che's face. Other families had taken actions. Could he just ignore it?

"Che, do you mean to scare them on purpose?"

They were indeed twins. Yun Cheng read his brother's mind in no time. The reason why Liu Xizhao and Lin Hongzhi did this was because of the brothers. If the brothers took actions out of blue, probably Liu Xizhao and Lin Hongzhi would not have the mood to eat and sleep out of panic, would they?

"Correct. Lin Hongzhi hid himself after our arrival in the capital. Even the Lin family has been low-profile. Apparently, he's very scared of us. But now he shows up ostentatiously. The reason is as follows. A, he risks to be the president so that he could make us sick and no longer scare us. B, he bets that we wouldn't take actions in front of everyone. C, we have been too low-profile lately. Low-profile people are always looked down upon and even ignored totally. If he was another person, I wouldn't mind. But it's Lin Hongzhi. How could it be possible that I would let him realize his dream?"

At that time, it was likely that Yun Cheng would have become a real dead person and never woken up without Heiyu's help. Yun Che bore grudges deeply. He didn't forget any of them.

"Just to scare them?"

But Yun Cheng seemed to disagree. Everyone turned to Yun Cheng. Yun Che said with his eyebrows raised, "Are you gonna tell me that you wanna go straight to the Lin family, kill them all and ruin Liu Xizhao's plan?"

That was an option, but they would get famous if they really did that.

"Che, I finally understand why Wenyang always dresses you as a beast."

Upon hearing Yun Che's words, Yun Cheng couldn't help bursting into laughter. What else could he be apart from a beast that would kill someone's whole family at the beginning?

"A beast is better than a pet. Others scare me and others bully me, I prefer the former one."

Shrugging his shoulders, Yun Che didn't take his brother's mockery seriously. As the saying went, all lay load on the willing horse. Before the doomsday, Yun Che hadn't been very kind, but he didn't have a good ending. After the doomsday, he didn't allow himself to be kind. He dared to do anything that didn't go beyond the limits as a human being.

"That makes sense."

Yun Cheng added. He agreed with Yun Che. Then Yun Cheng continued in another tone, "What I'm trying to say is that we have time so we could go to the place where Lin Hongzhi gives away porridge. I think that's more interesting than to scare him."

"That's a good idea. It may create the public opinion in a small range. Although the so-called morality and humanity has almost been worn away after the doomsday, we're people with status. We own the planting secret. If other people know that Lin Hongzhi has grudges against us, Lin Hongzhi's charity would end up in vain. Don't you think so?"

Zhou Zeyu responded with interests, looking anxious to do so. How he wished to rush in front of Lin Hongzhi right away!

"I think it'd work."

Ye Xingche echoed with a smile. He seemed able to see the picture where Lin Hongzhi and Liu Xizhao lost their temper in horror.

"In that case, what are we waiting for? Let go!"

Yun Che stood up as he spoke. When he was going to hold the baby, Yun Yao did so before him.

"You guys go. Leave the babies alone. It's freezing outside."

"Uh… What about Chenchen?"

Yun Che was reluctant to leave his chubby and fair babies who were nearly five months old. But since his sister looked determined, he had no choice but to give in.

"I wanna go!"

Before Yun Yao spoke, Chenchen spoke with his arm raised. He wished to stick with his uncle no matter what.

"Go, you brat. Don't cry if you get a cold."

Yun Yao could never talk her son out of anything. She didn't bother to reject him so as not to put herself into an awkward position. She preferred to stay with the babies who never went against her will.

Well, Yun Yao seemed to jump to the conclusion too early. Even if the five-month-old babies wanted to oppose, they weren't capable of that, were they? As Yun Che and Xing Feng's babies, how would they be obedient?

"Let's go then. What about you, Heiyu?"

Holding Chenchen's hand, Yun Che looked over them and fixed his eyes on Heiyu who lay in the middle of the two babies in the crib.

"No, no, no. I want to accompany my young masters."

Heiyu waved his pawl without raising it. His master always spent time with Xing Feng and cared for him less and less often. So Heiyu didn't want to join them. He'd love to stay with his young masters. When they grew up, they must care for Heiyu more than his master did.

"Let's go."

The men did set out as they said. It seemed the seclusion had really bored them lately.
