“Have you forgotten who rescued you from the Church and restored you to your identity?”
Matthäus seems to have no other option but to kidnap the MPs out of kindness.
David Godoy stopped talking, but Craigie John, who belonged to his faction, coughed lightly: "We have always been grateful to you, Mayor Mateus, but the parliament that decides the fate of everyone should not
Too much 'personal emotion' mixed in."
"Second." Buck tightened his bathrobe.
Mateus remained quiet and looked around the silent House of Representatives.
Not everyone is on David Godoy's side, but no one is willing to stand up when the disadvantage is obvious.
Matthäus decided not to pretend to be a show of hard work. He tilted his head and looked at the stone pillars of the parliament hall, leaning forward slightly: "Did you see their response? Mr. Lu Li."
Trivial whispers broke out in surprise, and the MPs stared at the figure walking out from behind the stone pillar in shock, and then looked at David Godoy who fell into silence.
Matthäus, who was satisfied with their reaction, loudly announced: "Opening up the deep layer is a joint decision between Mr. Lu Li and me. The nature of this parliament is to inform, not to request. However, as a member of the parliament, I am still willing to abide by the rules..."
After a slight pause, Matthäus re-examined the representatives in front of the round table
"So, regarding the bill "Moving the Wiener Refuge Area to Deeper Areas", members are asked to vote and a show of hands represents their agreement."
The council members who were relatively calm after Lu Li appeared were the first to raise their hands. They were either from the Mateus faction, or they knew some clues. In any case, they all knew that Lu Li was in the Weiner Refuge Area.
Then there were those who were in favor of the bill and those who were wavering, and those who held opposing views also raised their hands one after another.
It took months of repeated reintroductions, but the honed bill met the two-thirds requirement for passage in a matter of seconds.
It wasn't just Lu Li's reputation that made this happen.
The Exorcist's merchant controls more than 90% of all supplies in the Vina Refuge Area. Without him, most people here would die of hunger and cold.
And the congressmen somewhat extravagantly hope that one day they can go to the land of light.
Buck let go of his open bathrobe and raised his hands hesitantly, not daring to look at David Godoy.
More than ten seconds passed, and only David Godoy and his two loyal faction members were left who had not raised their hands.
Raising hands to represent opposition is actually more effective, because even David Godoy dare not raise his hands to defy Lu Li, but Matthäus wants the lawmakers to see who is the real opponent.
Although so far, the mayor has remained vague and reserved, and has not used "ugly" or more violent words to ridicule these legislators.
"Then the "Migration of the Wiener Refuge Area to the Deep" has been officially passed, and the implementation plan will be sent to your residence from the mayor's office later. Maxon, you will be responsible for closing the council."
Mateus said to the staff who couldn't control the joy on his face, and left with Lu Li and the twisted figure beside him, Ophelia.
"You are the mayor, why should you listen to the councillors?"
The twisted figure asked on the way back.
"It is a rule that 'urban' development must be approved by parliament," Matthäus said.
Even though he is the mayor, he is the de facto controller of the ice-free harbor and refuge area in Wiener.
Matthäus has never been opposed to parliament, because the parliamentary system is the best option to prevent the city from going astray due to those in power. It is just a pity that it is inevitably mixed with entangled upper-level interests.
"It will also be safer for them to move deeper. What is the reason for the refusal..."
Everyone agrees that the underground is safe. The shelters of the old days and the relics of previous generations discovered by Lu Li prove this. However, for most gathering places, it is either difficult to obtain food and water or lack of it when hiding underground. fuel.
"Because they don't really realize the crisis..."
"Are you an exorcist..."
Suddenly, there was an exclamation, and Lu Li without his cloak was spotted by the residents. Some people could not restrain their excitement and approached him.
"The young men of the Revons family, the seventh batch of residents I have scheduled to migrate to the Land of Light."
Mateus had no choice but to let him leave and continued: "The people here are so well protected that they are even made lazy. The outer environment I sent you is just a number to them... before threatening to contact the residents of the inner ring. , they won’t want to leave here before the crisis appears..."
Fortunately, Lu Li came and changed this slow death.
"When will your allies arrive?"
Making up his mind was harder than he thought. But after making the decision, Matthäus only felt happy and expectant: he was glad that everything was not at its worst yet, and he was looking forward to a safer place.
"It should be tomorrow."
There is only a strait between the ice-free port of Wiener and the Gauss Basin where the worms live, and they only need to cross it from the bottom of the sea.
Mateus called the guards and asked them to evacuate the growing number of residents around him. He apologized: "We should be the ones helping you, but it's up to you to continue to help us..."
Returning to his residence, Mateus signaled to Lu Li that they could wander around as they pleased, and that he would issue an urgent order: the worm would arrive within two days, and the refuge area must hurry up and notify residents.
The twisted figure who was curious about the refuge area left the house. Ophelia chose to stay with Lu Li and watch Mateus issue instructions.
Compared with the parliament that postponed the bill, most residents expressed support for the deep migration. The outer ring has long been unable to be invaded, and the inner ring is also facing crises at any time.
The twisted figure returned dozens of minutes later and told Lu Li about the chaos in the outer ring: for example, some residents wanted to kidnap her. But what worried the twisted figure was that he saw many contaminated people tied up like pigs, and told Lu Li Drive outside.
"Those are residents with low sanity and pollution... As time goes by, they will go crazy and become aliens..."
"Are there many such residents?" Lu Li asked.
"Hundreds of people...every day."
Food, water sources, the environment, everything people can ingest and come into contact with are contaminated.
"What will happen to them?"
"Run to the surface, the stranger will be... hanged."
Matthäus told the heavy truth.
"Can you transform them into dependents?" Lu Li suddenly said to the twisted figure: "Becoming believers, they will be able to help protect the refuge area. When the migration is over, you can choose to take them back to the land of light."
"I don't know...is this okay?" Mateus looked at the twisted figure in astonishment.
"I can do it." The twisted figure replied.
The proposal was passed without any hesitation.
For Mateus, he no longer has to face the sin of abandoning his people; for Lu Li, this can expand the power of the camp; for the twisted figure, he has more followers; and for those abandoned residents... they have been saved.
The dependents who were driven out of the refuge area to fend for themselves and became allies of Lu Li had little choice to go to the Land of Light.
