Chapter 573 Taking Office
Gu Yun led Lu Ping and others into the city hall. They still had a lot to talk about. Wang Tao did not participate. He waited until the mutant geese had almost finished eating and then took them back to his home.
At present, except for Wang Tao, no one else could communicate with the geese. After all, these geese are wild. It would be bad if there was any conflict. So Wang Tao planned to take them home and train them well.
Wang Tao said hello, and although the mutant geese were reluctant to leave, they immediately followed Wang Tao and left obediently.
Ga——
The leader of the geese thanked Wang Tao.
It didn't expect that what Wang Tao said was true. Not only did he provide them with shelter, but also provided fresh grass!
This was the most filling meal they had eaten in such a long time!
"Haha, I said I would arrange it well for you!"
Wang Tao smiled.
Then he took the golden eagle and took the mutant geese back to the villa.
Ding Yuqin and the others were outside. There was no one in the villa. The entire villa area was very large. This area belonged to Wang Tao. He allowed the mutant geese to move around in this area.
After a simple meal, Wang Tao began to train the mutant geese.
These mutants are very smart. They can't speak, but they can understand what humans say as long as it's not too complicated.
But the problem is that mutants are different from humans after all, especially these mutant geese are wild and have little contact with humans. They are very different from humans in terms of values and living habits. Even if they can understand human words, they may have problems when executing them for some reasons.
So Wang Tao's training is to make these mutants think as much as possible in line with humans. This is not difficult for Wang Tao, who is quite experienced in this area.
Three days passed in a flash.
This group of mutant geese has been trained almost, and Wang Tao has passed all the tests on them, and they can basically start working.
There are a total of 24 mutant geese. Wang Tao plans to leave 6 geese for Ding Yuqin and others to travel, and the remaining 18 will be handed over to the city hall for distribution.
In fact, for Ding Yuqin and others, they don't need 6, after all, these mutant geese are not small in size, and one can carry several people. Ding Yuqin and the others were all moving together, so 4 geese were enough. However, according to the habits of geese, the number of geese that they travel in a group is at least 6, and it is usually a multiple of 6.
So Wang Tao respected their habits, and there were exactly 24 geese, and they were directly divided into 4 teams, with 6 geese in each team.
But when it comes to the issue of quantity, Wang Tao was a little surprised. Is their number really so accurate, exactly a multiple of 6? Not one more or one less? Isn't this too coincidental?
When Wang Tao asked this question, the leader of the mutant geese said that it was not such a coincidence, but that they were a large team before, and they had a common leader. Then the leader was killed by the golden eagle, so their team was dispersed and divided into small teams, and their 24 geese were one of the teams...
"Wow, there is a large group of mutant geese? Are they all as strong as you?"
Ga~
The leader of the mutant geese said that it was about the same, basically all elites of the third and fourth levels.
"Then do you know where they are?"
Wang Tao asked immediately.
If we can get all these mutant geese to Changhe Base, wouldn't we be able to form an air force?
Ga~
The leader of the mutant geese shook his head.
At that time, it was all snowy and food was scarce. They could only go out separately to find food. How could they know where other geese were now?
However, the leader of the mutant geese said that if they had the opportunity to meet other geese in the future, they would like to bring them to Changhe Base and asked Wang Tao if he was willing.
After all, they are all the same kind. There is no hatred between them. Good things should be shared!
Wang Tao certainly wanted it. The more mutant geese, the better. There are so many people in Changhe Base. Can't they raise these flying mounts?
So things were happily decided. In the future, the mutant geese will often fly outside, and maybe they can really meet their own kind.
At noon that day, Ding Yuqin and her group came back.
Seeing these mutant geese, they were naturally very curious. When Wang Tao said that 6 of them were their mounts, everyone was a little excited.
They finally have flying mounts!
Although these wild geese are not as big or strong as Wang Tao's golden eagle, they don't mind as long as they can fly.
In the afternoon, Wang Tao took the golden eagle and led the wild geese to the Silver Snake Base.
Lan Yulian and the others were basically done and ready to come back. Wang Tao went to pick them up and prepared to lead the wild geese to recognize the way.
There were also people on the wild geese, including Ding Yuqin, Gu Yun and others.
This was the first time Gu Yun went on a long trip after becoming the mayor, and he was a little excited. After all, he flew there this time.
The journey was very smooth and arrived at the Silver Snake Base without any accidents.
This time it was daytime, and the golden eagles and wild geese did not hide their bodies, so the people at the Silver Snake Base could naturally find them at a glance.
However, the people had received the broadcast in advance and knew that these flying mutant beasts were not enemies, so they did not panic. Many people came out to see the big birds with a curious mentality.
Although the Silver Snake Base at this time seemed to be no different from the previous few days, Wang Tao always felt different. When he looked closely, he found that the residents in the base had smiles on their faces.
"good!"
After Wang Tao and his party landed, Wang Tao and Gu Yun looked at each other and were very satisfied.
The easiest way to see whether a survivor base is good or not is to look at the mental state of the ordinary people in their base.
At present, although the mental state of the people in the Silver Snake Base is completely incomparable to that of the people in the Changhe Base, it is already very good in the end of the world.
After all, the Silver Snake Base has just ended the turmoil and started reforms. It is still early. I believe that the Silver Snake Base will get better and better in the future.
Lu Ping took Gu Yun to inspect it in person, and then discussed the specific assistance issues. Although the Silver Snake Base is also a large base, it does not have many resources and needs the help of the Changhe Base.
In the next period of time, the Changhe Base will deliver a large wave of resources to the Silver Snake Base. Anyway, there is a team of wild geese, which is not very troublesome.
Of course, the Silver Snake Base will also provide some local specialties to the Changhe Base, and even send some people to the Changhe Base. After all, the Changhe Base is still short of people, especially technical talents. The Silver Snake Base also has 300,000 to 400,000 people, and there must be a lot of talents.
Lu Ping did not hide it from the people and directly told the people of the Silver Snake Base that their military was now officially renamed the "Changhe Seventh Corps". The entire Silver Snake Base was merged into the Changhe Base and is now a branch base of the Changhe Base.
The people were dumbfounded when they got the news. They were very glad that the military led them in the end, but in just a few days, their base became someone else's? They were all a little panicked and didn't know what this meant.
Lu Ping naturally understood the mentality of these people, so he explained it to the people in person.
In his words, the Changhe Base was like a utopia, far superior to the Silver Snake Base in all aspects, and there was no comparison between the two.
The Changhe Base will provide a lot of resources to the Silver Snake Base in the future to help the Silver Snake Base grow and let the people of the Silver Snake Base live a good life...
With that said, the people of the Silver Snake Base were very curious about the Changhe Base and wanted to know what this "utopia" in the end of the world looked like.
Lu Ping also took the opportunity to say that the Changhe Base was in great need of people, especially technical talents.
If anyone is willing, they can sign up to go to the Changhe Base. If they are selected, the whole family can move to the Changhe Base and enjoy generous welfare benefits.
As soon as this news came out, the Silver Snake Base exploded instantly.
After all, Lu Ping described the Changhe Base so well, as long as a normal person would want to live in the Changhe Base. So many people expressed their desire to sign up, regardless of whether they can be selected, at least they have to try.
Before, the Changhe Base discussed with Lu Ping and felt that there were too many people in the Silver Snake Base.
Although for a survivor base, more people is a good thing. But the Silver Snake Base itself is not large, and the resources are limited. In the current environment, there is no way to go out to get resources... So everyone lives a tight life, including these leaders.
And the Changhe Base is not only large in area, good in environment, and rich in resources, but it is also in a period of rapid development and is very short of people.
So it is better to send some personnel from the Silver Snake Base to the Changhe Base, which is good for both bases.
Finally, it was decided at Changhe Base that the next period of work would be to transport supplies to Silver Snake Base, and then continue to bring back talents from Silver Snake Base.
In fact, it would be no problem to get all the people from Silver Snake Base to Changhe Base, as Changhe Base could accommodate them.
But Silver Snake Base is also a super-large survivor base after all, and there are certain natural resources here. Many places nearby have not been explored in time, and it would be a pity to lose them... So we still have to keep people to guard them and develop them slowly.
Wang Tao will basically not participate in the subsequent affairs of Silver Snake Base. There is only one thing he cares about, that is, the Dusk Church.
Zhao Yue is a senior priest of the Dusk Church in Silver Snake Base. He is definitely not a lone commander, and there are definitely many believers here.
To a certain extent, these people are time bombs, and Wang Tao has to find them out.
Fortunately, Zhao Yue was caught by Wang Tao. Wang Tao easily got the specific list from him.
Then Wang Tao began to look for people according to the list.
Of course, it does not mean that people who join the Dusk Church should die. After all, many people were fooled into joining, and may not have done anything evil. So Wang Tao conducted a screening, and those with problems were directly arrested, and those with no major problems were asked to turn over a new leaf.
As for how to turn over a new leaf, it was even simpler - these people trusted the Twilight Church very much, so Wang Tao directly changed some of the rules and regulations in the church as a senior priest of the Twilight Church, and ordered them to work hard and strive to contribute to the base.
Don't say it, this works quite well. They don't even need Wang Tao to brainwash them, they obey Wang Tao, the priest.
Of course, there is a premise, that is, Wang Tao can really give them some benefits. If they can't survive themselves, then there is a high probability that they don't trust the Twilight Church.
And in this, Lan Yulian played a very key role. Among the believers of the Twilight Church, because they drank a lot of that kind of black potion, many people had some problems with their bodies and were not in good physical condition.
Lan Yulian used her healing ability to treat many people. These people didn't know that there was a problem with the medicine, but after receiving the treatment, they could clearly feel that their physical condition had improved. Especially since Lan Yulian was flying in the air to treat them, in their hearts, Lan Yulian was like an angel.
In addition, Wang Tao put Zhao Yue's badge on Lan Yulian, which made these believers think that Lan Yulian was also a senior priest, and they immediately trusted Lan Yulian and Wang Tao more...
After the matter of the Dusk Church was resolved, the term change of the committee members of the Changhe Base would also officially begin.
There are a total of 23 committee members in the Changhe Base, and the committee composed of these 23 committee members is the highest authority in the Changhe Base. The City Hall is only an executive agency and must obey the orders of the committee.
Now, after more than a year of development, some committee members feel that they are old and their strength can't keep up, so they are ready to abdicate and replace a group of more capable committee members - in fact, the committee members of the six major legions want to abdicate, and the committee members of other forces do not want to give up their power, but there is no way, now the six major legions still have the final say, and they have to agree even if they don't agree.
The new committee members have been selected. There are only 14 people this time, which is much more streamlined than before. However, these 14 people are at least fourth-level awakeners, and their own strength is much stronger than the previous term.
Among them, 6 committee members are the commanders of the six major legions. Lu Ping and his Seventh Legion have just been established, so they are naturally not qualified.
Gu Yun also became a committee member of this term.
The mayor's power is originally limited. To put it bluntly, he is just a tool of the committee. But if the mayor is also a member of the committee, it will be different-there will be real power!
Obviously, this is because Gu Yun's achievements during this period are really good, and everyone unanimously thinks he deserves this position.
Among the remaining 7 committee members, 6 people were selected from the non-military camp of Changhe Base. They are all people with good reputations, strong strength, and strong abilities.
As for the last person, it is naturally Wang Tao.
However, Wang Tao is different from others. Others are ordinary committee members, while Wang Tao is an honorary committee member and a permanent committee member.
Honorary committee members are lifelong and enjoy the highest welfare benefits. However, after the first committee members retired, they were all honorary members, so it was not surprising. It was mainly this "permanent member".
After the discussion of the previous committee, it was finally decided that the permanent members did not have the privilege of "one vote equals five votes" as Gu Yun said before, but there was a greater privilege-"veto power"!
This just happened to be in line with Wang Tao's wishes. After all, he focused on improving his strength and did not want to participate in this kind of management. He was too lazy to vote even if he was asked to vote.
With this veto power, Wang Tao was generally too lazy to participate in the management of the base, and others could treat him as if he did not exist. But when some major decisions needed to be made, Wang Tao could participate in it strongly.
However, for Wang Tao, it didn't matter whether he had this veto power or not. In the end times, strength is respected. With Wang Tao's current strength, no one dared to ignore what he said. If he disagreed with a decision, the committee would not dare to enforce it. It's just that Wang Tao is not interested in power, so he generally doesn't care about these things.
This standing committee member was also a good intention of Changhe Base. He gave Wang Tao a legal right, so Wang Tao took on a part-time position at that time...
The ceremony of the committee's term change was very grand, with a large number of live audiences, and a full-scale live broadcast, even in the Silver Snake Base. Wang Tao, who often disappeared, was completely exposed in front of hundreds of thousands of people this time.
When he was introduced as a standing committee member, it was also a public announcement that he was the first person in Changhe Base. Hundreds of thousands of people remembered Wang Tao's name and appearance deeply.
After the term change, the new committee members were ready to work hard and strive to take the development of Changhe Base to a higher level.
But Wang Tao did not participate. He even led Ding Yuqin and his party to leave Changhe Base the next day after taking office.
At the edge of a huge crack, the golden eagle slowly landed.
Wang Tao and his party jumped off the golden eagle.
Ding Yuqin pointed to the crack and introduced.
"Wang Tao, this is the crack. There are some fifth-level lords in it. These fifth-level lords will cooperate with each other. It would be troublesome for us to fight them. For the sake of safety, we did not touch them..."
"Well, let's go and take a look."
Wang Tao nodded.
After dealing with these fifth-level lords, he will have enough crystal cores to advance to the sixth level.
