Chapter 322: The Person Standing in the Light (Two-in-One, Please Collect, Subscribe, and Vote Monthly)

Under the continuous rainstorm, the blond woman held a sharp blade that cut her palms, and stabbed the strong back armor again and again.

"Oh~"

A roar of pain shook the rain curtain.

The huge giant turtle swayed and rolled, trying to shake off the 'bugs' on its body.

But no matter how it rolled, the blonde woman clung to its back and swung the knife like a cold machine.

Finally, under the continuous blows that seemed to have the same frequency as the sudden rain, a crack opened in the giant turtle's solid back.

At this moment, there were dozens of dense cracks on its body, and there were only a few sharp blades inserted into its back.

When the last crack spread, it became the straw that broke the camel's back.

All the cracks are connected.

The blond woman lying on the back of the giant turtle suddenly raised her fist and smashed it into the center of the crack.

Under this violent impact, the thick back armor instantly exploded like fragile glass, revealing the beating flesh and heart underneath.

The woman swung the blade and pierced the heart violently. Orange-colored blood splashed out, covering the woman's face and staining her hair.

She did not stop, but continued to attack without interruption, until the huge beast let out its last cry and fell to the ground forever.

She held onto the huge corpse with her hands and stood up staggeringly.

The pounding rain slid down her soft, white skin covered with wounds.

it is finally over···

She slowly raised her head.

Maybe he should go to the 'leader' to say thank you.

And the moment she raised her head, a purple light streaked across the sky with vast pressure.

The moment she saw this ray of light, her heart suddenly tightened, and a strong and suppressed sadness covered her entire chest.

She had seen a similar glow before.

Ender and Roy both disappeared in this brilliance.

——

The continuous rainstorm was still falling, and Christos stared at the solemn and anxious figure below.

Seer was standing at the front desk, taking an oath to the Dawn City Constitution with his hand on his hands.

The deputy mayor is sworn in before the mayor.

A murmur of discussion came from the audience.

The network in Chenxi City was not cut off, and people naturally knew that Nancheng had been breached by alien beasts.

The information that the city council was attacked by the rebels had not yet had time to spread.

Most of the people standing here are ordinary workers. They wear simple and plain clothes and hold advertising umbrellas given by convenience stores or department stores during promotions.

They raised their heads and stared at the figures taking the oath on the platform.

They were slightly disturbed and fearful, but they didn't leave.

Because Christos was still sitting calmly on the platform.

The mayor who didn't run away also gave them the courage to not have to run away.

The swearing-in process is quick, taking only a few minutes.

But for some reason, Christos felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

At this moment, a bright purple light suddenly crossed the sky with terrifying pressure, pierced the dark clouds, and fell on the ground not far away.

The moment he saw the light, Christos froze.

"The following is sworn in by Mr. Christos, Mayor of Dawn City."

The clock moved toward twelve o'clock, and when the host said these words, Christos did not make any immediate move.

Seer, who was returning next to him, gave Christos a gentle push.

Christos took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

He walked to the front of the platform and pressed his hand on the Chenxi City Constitution that had been pressed by successive Chenxi City mayors.

The host, the chief judge of Chenxi City, looked at him,

"Christos, please read after me: I solemnly swear,"

"I solemnly swear"

"I will faithfully perform my duties as mayor of Chenxi City and do my best to abide by, maintain and defend the Constitution of Chenxi City."

"I will faithfully perform my duties as mayor of Chenxi City and do my best to abide by, maintain and defend the Constitution of Chenxi City."

"I will faithfully defend the order of the Federation and defend human civilization."

"I will faithfully defend the order of the Federation and defend human civilization."

"Until death"

After the host finished these words, Christos paused, looked up and looked ahead, looking at where the purple light fell.

He spoke slowly and said word by word,

"Until death"

The golden sunshine pierced through the thick dark clouds and shone on the huge statue of the first Morningside Mayor Ellenska, and on the current Morningside Mayor Christos who looked towards the sky with the statue.

The figures of the two people overlapped across hundreds of years.

——

Shortly after Christos was sworn in, Penny contacted the Mayor's Guard and brought Ainoan's head to quell the fight between the City Council and the City Police Department.

At this time, Victor rushed back with the legion commander and eliminated the three B-level alien beasts outside Chenxi City. He also reorganized the command center of the Southern Army and cleared out all the alien beasts in the city.

Chenxi City seems to be back to its original appearance.

——Half a month later——

At this moment, a discussion is taking place in the Chenxi City Council.

The original parliament hall was penetrated by artillery fire during the battle and is now being repaired. All the members are huddled in the small spare chamber.

This chamber only has a rostrum and a simple, newly built question desk.

"Now, I would like to invite former Councilman and current Mayor Christos as a witness to respond to inquiries about the Wilderness Wanderer Immigration Act."

The speaker sitting on the rostrum spoke softly into the microphone.

Christos stood on the question desk and looked calmly at the MPs sitting here.

A few months ago, he was one of those people.

"Mr. Christos, I would like to ask you, how can you prove that the introduction of wilderness wanderer immigrants will not increase the crime rate in Chenxi City?"

a councilman sitting to Christos' right asked softly.

“Protest,” a councilman on Christos’ left raised his hand, “I think this question is meaningless. The number of new criminals in Morningside City every year has almost caught up with all the wilderness wanderers now in the city. "

"Please take turns to speak," the old speaker patted the table and spoke slowly into the microphone, "please ask Christos to respond to the inquiry."

The congressman on the left didn't really want to protest, he just made a disgusted sound to the other side. He retracted his hand and looked at Christos.

"There are more than 100,000 homeless people living in the wilderness around Chenxi City, but we have found only over 300 homeless people in the wilderness who have or may be involved in criminal acts. This rate is far lower than the federal average."

Christos calmly looked at the questioning councilman and said softly, "In fact, we have all seen the role of the Wilderness Wanderers in the Ainoan incident. With their efforts, a large number of citizens were saved from death. He was saved from the threat, and Ainoan's cruel and crazy conspiracy was finally shattered, which is enough to prove that most wilderness wanderers are kind and heroic."

Another congressman next to the questioning congressman then asked, "Mr. Christos, since the establishment of the Federation, it has not officially admitted new immigrants for hundreds of years. Do you think it is reasonable to rashly change such a situation?"

"I think the citizens who elected me and other council members hope to see change, and we have promised to bring change to the citizens,"

Christos laughed, "So I think it is unreasonable to discuss whether to change this matter here. It has always existed, which does not mean it is right. Maybe it has been wrong for many years and has not been corrected."

"good!"

The congressman to the left of Christos, who had just protested, immediately applauded, "Well said!"

Even the congressmen around him laughed and clapped.

The congressman who asked the question turned pale and closed his mouth.

"Mr. Christos, I would like to ask, once Dawn City allows wilderness wanderers to enter, it will inevitably attract wilderness wanderers from across the entire federation.

With a large number of wilderness wanderers entering the city, will they squeeze out job opportunities for citizens? As a result, the original citizens were unemployed, and the current unemployment rate in Chenxi City was already high enough. "

another congressman to Christos' right asked next.

“The underlying problem affecting unemployment is not with wilderness wanderers, nor is it with workers.”

Christos replied calmly.

The congressman paused and did not continue on this issue.

"Mr. Christos..."

Question after question followed.

Most of these inquiries came from lawmakers who opposed the bill.

As the sun sets and darkness approaches, this inquiry reaches its final moment.

After everyone had finished asking, Christos did not leave. Instead, he calmly looked at the leaders of the group of congressmen and said slowly,

"Everyone, as the mayor of Chenxi City, I have to tell you some bad news. Although the vast majority of wilderness wanderers are kind and trustworthy, there are still thousands of wilderness wanderers in Chenxi City who are not recorded in the records. By.

The city defense army had just experienced a big battle and was currently repairing and recovering to clear out Ainoan's gang members, and had no energy to collect these wilderness wanderers.

The FBI is tracing the members of the Church of the God of Chaos involved in this incident, and they can't take action now.

The Chenxi City Government's budget has been tight recently and it should not be able to deal with them in a short time. "

“What if these wilderness wanderers cause chaos?”

a member of the crowd asked.

"Sir, you know," Christos sighed feebly, "The crime rate in Chenxi City is already high enough. The city government really doesn't have more manpower to allocate. However, the city government will try its best to protect everyone's location. Please rest assured that the constituency is stable to prepare for the upcoming parliamentary general election.”

If he didn't mention this, no one would have thought that when he mentioned this, the whole parliament exploded instantly.

The mayor is elected every four years, and the council members are elected every two years. The Chenxi City Council replaces one-third of its members every two years. The election of the city council follows the election of the mayor.

The critical period of the election is coming soon. Once the environment in the constituency deteriorates sharply and causes unrest, some members here may not be able to be re-elected smoothly.

Some cross-benchers who originally opposed the Wilderness Wanderers Immigration Bill began to have rapidly changing thoughts.

"Okay," the old Speaker patted the microphone and said slowly, "Now we will have the last debate on the Wilderness Wanderer Immigration Bill."

The loud noise instantly echoed through the entire parliament.

Christos stared at the noisy council members like a discount market.

In fact, he has already communicated with most of the members in advance, and some neutral members will also support the bill because of the need to maintain stability in the parliamentary elections.

He took a deep breath, turned towards the door, and opened the door of the conference hall.

Behind him was the chaotic and noisy parliament.

k, I promised you, I did it.

——

The rays of the morning sun shine in the somewhat deserted garden.

A huge statue is being suspended from a mechanical crane in the center of the garden.

Under the statue being erected, a dark-faced girl was holding a book and quietly watching the workers erecting the statue.

"The Immigration Bill passed."

A woman with beautiful blond hair slowly walked over and stopped next to the girl, "Congratulations."

"Thanks."

The dark girl said softly.

The Wilderness Wanderer Immigration Act allows all wilderness wanderers to apply for status in Dawn City.

After submitting a detailed application, wilderness wanderers will receive a social security card number. Through this social security card number, they will be able to get a legal job in Chenxi City, as well as apply for bank cards and rent houses.

The applicant will then enter an observation period of one to five years. During this observation period, as long as the applicant performs well and does not have any criminal record, he or she can become a citizen of Chenxi City, and their children born in the future can also directly obtain Opportunities for Dawn City citizens.

Of course, different people have different implementation rules, but generally speaking, Wilderness Wanderers already have open and transparent channels to enter Chenxi City.

The hundreds of years of wandering in the wilderness come to an end at this moment.

"Have you recovered from your injuries?"

Penny turned around and looked at Selena next to her.

During this half-month, Selena has been undergoing treatment in the hospital and getting a new prosthetic body. Penny often visits her, and the two gradually become friends.

"My injury is very simple. I just need to replace it with a prosthetic body. It just takes a long time to wait for this prosthetic body to be shipped and it takes some time to adapt."

Selena smiled and raised the mithril box in her hand, "I'll give you back what you gave me."

But Petunia shook her head slightly. She held down the mithril box and pushed it back, "It's better in your body than in our hands."

Selena is not stupid, she understands what Penny means.

Although the Immigration Act was passed, the wilderness wanderers now lost their leader and the entire group was very weak. Although they were under the care of Christos, Christos was the mayor after all and could not take care of them at all times.

They also need a collaborator with a certain status and strength in this city.

After using the Kuyu Heart, Selina can already exert C-level strength, and the cost of the Kuyu Heart is almost nothing to her, making it the most suitable extraordinary item for her.

And if this extraordinary item remains in the hands of the wilderness wanderers, no one can use it.

It's a good deal to exchange an unusable C-level extraordinary item for a real C-level collaborator with status.

"You believe me so much?"

Selena paused and asked with a smile.

If she wanted to, she could simply purchase this extraordinary item.

"It's not me who believes in you," Penny shook her head, "it's the leader who believes in you."

In fact, Penny already had it in her mind. When the leader asked her to give Selina the heart of the Ape, she might have already thought about the current situation.

Christos may be able to restrain the Morningside Police Department and City Defense Forces, but it will be difficult to restrain the FBI.

During the period when the bill was not passed, relying on Selina's presence and coordination, the FBI and Christos were on the same front and did not conduct any investigation or arrest of the wilderness wanderers.

The more she thought about it, the more Petunia felt that the leader had planned every step after death and paved all the roads for those of them who were still alive.

He had anticipated his own death.

"Your leader..." Selena paused for a moment, then sighed softly, and slowly took back the mithril box, "When one of you can use this extraordinary item, I will return it to you. .”

The cold morning wind blew through their hair.

The tall statue was finally erected.

Petunia raised her head and stared at the statue.

It was a man with a thin face, a machete and a dagger hanging from his waist, and a fur coat. He waved his hands to push away the thorns in front of him, and looked up at the front, as if he was looking at the rising sun, and at the same time seemed to be looking at the sun. hope.

The girl walked to the statue and slowly placed the book in her arms in front of the statue. It was a paper version.

Wilderness Wanderers Immigration Act

A drop of clear tears ran down her cheek and fell into the wind under the morning sun,

"Chief, we have a new home."
