Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]

Chapter 5 Preliminary Conquering the People's Heart

Mu Xishan left the meeting room without looking back. The senior executives behind him might be making a new assessment of him, but it didn't matter to him anymore.After leaving the S building, Mu Xishan was taken by Lu Bao to the communication station, where a wired telephone for human use was placed.

Since the disaster disturbed the magnetic field, all mobile communication equipment was disabled, and fixed-line communication equipment was not used again until the magnetic pressure station for fixed magnetism appeared. However, due to the poverty of S base, there is only one communication point in the whole city.

There were already many residents who called to report their safety. Hearing the sound, they looked up and bowed respectfully when they saw Mu Xishan.Although the official announcement has not yet been made, after the news of the death of the former city lord spread, everyone knows the next city lord.

Instead of putting on airs to the high-level people, Mu Xishan nodded to the people and said gently, "Good morning. Please do your own thing, and don't mind my existence."

The head of the communication station came out in a hurry and led Mu Xishan to the compartment.

After Mu Xishan disappeared behind the curtain, an aunt who was on the phone immediately said excitedly to her son who was serving at the Panlong Base on the other end of the phone: "Ahh! You don't even know what happened just now! The city lord actually greeted me personally, Saying 'good morning', my God! This is the first time I've grown up to be treated like this by someone of this level!"

The other end of the phone said in disbelief: [Just your greedy and lustful city lord? ] "Where is he! You actually regard our polite, elegant, and noble city lord as that pompous fool?"

The son was speechless: [Which city lord is there? ! 】

"New city lord! That stupid big man's head is hung on the city wall, and our wife of the city lord will succeed to the throne according to law!"

[Is it the most ugly man in China who repelled the enemy with a single sentence in the legend? 】The aunt immediately said angrily, "Don't say that about our city lord! If it weren't for the wise and brave city lord, your mother wouldn't have time to call you now!"

The son rolled his eyes: [Mom!You are such a big person, why don’t you grow up with snacks? The leaders of this world are a nest of snakes and rats. Apart from our city lord Jiang, I don’t think there are other city lords who really think about the people!Just watch, it won't be long before your "wise" and "brave" "new human" city lord will bow down to his class!When he tastes the "delicacy" of power, he will show you his blood-sucking face full of fangs! ] Mu Xishan didn't know about the doubts raised by him outside, so he dialed the phone number of Panlong base. Because Jiang Qi was busy, the communication soldier relayed it on his behalf. After hanging up the phone, Lu Bao dialed the number of the next base, Ipsilon. Handed the phone to Mu Xishan again.

Mu Xishan frowned, "Why don't we have a correspondent?"

"Because I'm poor, I can't afford it." After Lu Bao finished speaking, Mu Xishan didn't understand: "Isn't there a station master?"

Lu Bao glanced at the stationmaster who was silently in the background, and exclaimed, "How can the stationmaster condescend to be the messenger?"

"Then let the Lord of a city go to hand over to someone else's correspondent?"

"But the former city lord has always been like this in order to pay less wages."

Mu Xishan looked at Lu Bao, and Lu Bao finally realized: "My God! I actually made such a fatal mistake. No wonder we were always looked down upon when we went to the Panlong Base to participate in the meeting. They must be thinking in their hearts: Look, this A 'country base' that can't even pay the salaries of the correspondents! This simply lowers the style of the S base. Sure enough, after staying with the former city lord for a long time, my IQ has plummeted? In this case, I will personally handle the following calls. "

Mu Xishan waited aside and enjoyed a big show.

After the call was connected, Lu Bao said: "Hello, I am correspondent No. 99 of Base S. I will inform you that the former city lord of this base died unexpectedly. According to the succession law, His Excellency Mu Xishan will succeed you as the new city lord. It is hereby notified."

Without waiting for the other side to speak, Lu Bao continued: "I'm sorry, due to the busy schedule, please contact the Santo and call us back." Then hung up the phone.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again, Lu Bao pressed the public release, and a deep and magnetic voice came.

"Hi, I'm the city owner of Ipsilon, Mo, please connect with your new city owner."

Lu Bao's voice changed, and he pretended to be a young man and said, "I am correspondent No. 107. Since the line is busy, I will transfer you to the communication team leader first. Please wait a moment."

Zhang Mo said politely: "Okay."

Lu Bao transferred the phone to the phone next to him, choked his throat, and said in a thin female voice: "Hello, you have been waiting for a long time, I am the communication team leader. Since the phone of the city owner has been busy, I will I'll transfer the call to the secretary's room, please don't mind."

Zhang Mo said patiently, "It's okay."

Lu Bao switched the line again and said in a normal voice: "Hi, City Lord Zhang, I am Secretary Lu Bao. I am very sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. The operator has already told me about your situation. I will call our City Lord right away. Please wait a moment."

Over there, Zhang Mo still said kindly, "Yes."

Lu Bao covered the receiver, ignored the stunned stationmaster, and said to Mu Xishan: "Now your style is higher than his, you can answer it."

Mu Xishan took a deep look at Lu Bao, and silently answered the phone, "Hi, I'm Mu Xishan."

Immediately heard Zhang Mo teasing, "I remember that the last time your former city lord went to Panlong Base for a meeting, and you were crying for more supplies. I haven't seen you for a while. You already have money to hire more than 100 correspondents, and you are still in the city lord building A new communication station has been opened, and if I remember correctly, the richest ice city base has only hired dozens of correspondents, so I will remind City Lord Jiang not to be fooled by you next time."

Mu Xishan apologized calmly, "This subordinate is so stupid, I made you laugh."

As the lord of a city, Zhang Mo finally showed his sharp side, and said in a cold voice: "Oh! I thought you guys thought I was too stupid to play this game. Sorry, I'm busy, please make an appointment if you have something to do !” After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Mu Xishan put down the phone with only a busy tone, and looked at the speechless Lu Bao.

Lu Bao stammered, "Why, why did this happen?"

Mu Xishan opened the phone list of the base and covered Lu Bao's face, "I leave the rest to you."

Leaving the communication station is a street market.

There are bare trees on the side of the road without any shade.In the morning, the sun rose slowly, and the streets were bustling with crowds of people. Merchants wearing sunhats gathered and sold on the side of the road. The various items placed made the street narrower.

Among them are intersex people with half-black and half-white complexion, and there are also residents who are covered with cloaks like Muxi Mountain.Autumn has just entered, and the air in base S is cool in the morning and evening. When it is at noon, even the wind is hot. Mu Xishan feels his back starting to sweat, and the ground burns his feet through the soles of his shoes. Terrible temperature?

Some merchants on the side of the road began to put on wooden high-soled shoes, and their yelling became weaker. While fiddled with the goods, they waved their fans vigorously and stretched their necks to wipe sweat.

Mu Xishan hid in the shadow outside the communication station, licked his dry lips, his saliva was almost gone due to lack of water.

On the side of the road, customers pick and choose with umbrellas, and the seller argues impatiently and hoarsely, and can argue for a long time about the value of a ticket with the smallest denomination.

Vendors walking around the streets pushed snack carts and hawked food, with kettles hanging on their chests. They swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva when they shouted dryly, and did not take a sip until their throats smoked.

Mu Xishan looked at——

Looking at the life in this base that belongs to him... an impulse arises in my heart, the impulse to change the status quo, let poverty go away, make drinking water full, make the environment pleasant, and make people no longer impetuous... This An impulse blocked his throat, unable to dispel it, he could only swallow it again.

Simon once told him during the parade: If a place is poor, decayed, and lifeless, it is not only the ignorance of the leader here, but also the ignorance of his subordinates, what's more, the subordinates who are not ignorant but turn a blind eye and have a plan in their hearts— —The former regards politics as enjoyment, and the people under them are cattle and horses.The latter regards politics as a game, and the people under them are nothing but pawns.

It's only been a day since I came to another world.

Mu Xishan doesn't know if there is something hidden behind the S base?But he knows——when this base belongs to him, he wants it to be the best, and no one else is allowed to dictate!

The street market was noisy, but a fierce conflict suddenly broke out not far away, from small to large, gradually covering other voices.

Mu Xishan looked up, and the commotion came from a remote corner.

The center of the commotion surrounded by pedestrians was a bookstall. There was a cloth on the ground, a pile of books on the cloth, and a card next to it. A letter was written: [Ancient books are precious, please do not bargain! 】

The stall owner is an ordinary old man, and the troublemaker is a new human being. The cause of the incident is a forced-buying drama. The new human beings want to cover the entire book stall with the price of a book. If it happened in the ordinary world, they would be surrounded by everyone. It is shameless to insult, but it has long been common for new humans to bully old humans.

The new humans clamored: "No one can read the characters in your book, and the paper is too thin to burn firewood. How dare you ask for such an expensive price!"

When it came to family treasures, the old man became so angry that he forgot to hold back, and argued with his neck: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you uneducated guy! These are all ancient books, and they should be stored 200 years ago. The authentic works of such ancient characters are all valuable. Liancheng's treasure. My grandfather's grandfather was reluctant to lose it when he fled, and he was buried with him in the coffin when he died. If I hadn't been forced to, I wouldn't be willing to sell it!"

The rioter retorted: "Yes, we are all educated and do not know each other. Are you always educated and tell us what is written on it?"

The old man blushed and retorted embarrassingly: "Isn't that my grandfather died early, and he went there before he had time to teach my dad?"

"The old dog is a bitch! Anyway, I'm going to buy this book today!" The troublemaker sneered, and threw out a red ticket with the smallest denomination, "Don't say I bought the Overlord Book, I'll give you the money, or wrap it up for me obediently , or—" A bunch of sparks ignited in the hands of the troublemaker, instantly burning a book, the old man stretched out his bandaged hand to extinguish the sparks, and there was a smell of scorched cloth and human flesh under his palm, the troublemaker stepped forward Step on the palm of the old man and crush it back and forth.

The old man twitched in pain, and some people in the crowd clenched their fists repeatedly to stabilize their emotions.

A little further away, they began to whisper, "In this world, ordinary people simply can't live."

"I just saw the guards walking this way, and as soon as I saw that the troublemaker was a new human, I immediately made a detour!"

"Who made them ordinary people? Now that the new human beings in the establishment are cleared, the city will become the world of these scattered new human beings! I don't know how many people will suffer in the future!"

"I think it's better to move to the Panlong base when you have money, so that the whole of Huaxia can live in peace."

"It's not that His Excellency Mu Xishan took up residence in Xincheng this morning. According to His Excellency Mu Xishan's behavior last night, there must be improvement!"

"Improve? Are you dreaming?! Don't forget that Mu Xishan himself is a new human being. Do you think he will leave the union and stand on the side of ordinary people?" The speaker seemed to think of something, "Look carefully at that old man's The hand seems to be the one that was bullied by the new humans yesterday, and his hand was still wrapped in bandages, but the new humans who made trouble last night were released from the city safely by Mu Xishan, do you still believe that Mu Xishan will help ordinary people fight against injustice?"

In the public opinion center, the old man began to howl in pain, while the troublemaker smiled and said, "Just know it hurts!"

The troublemaker bent down, slapped the old man's face, and slapped the old man until he was swollen like a pig's head. Tears of humiliation flashed in the old man's eyes, but the troublemaker smiled happily: "Inferior people are a little inferior." If you dare to talk back to me, you must know the consequences!"

——"I also want to know, what are the consequences?!"

A clear voice suddenly passed through the angry onlookers and fell into the center of the dispute.

The onlookers heard the voice that was broadcast by loudspeakers throughout the base and the battlefield last night, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice. The crowd was like Moses splitting the sea, and a tall man in a cloak slowly walked over and opened the gap. The hood, revealing the face covered by the black veil, is the new city lord, Mu Xishan.

The surroundings were silent for a moment, and ordinary people looked suspicious, not knowing which side Mu Xishan was going to stand on. The new human beings were overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up to salute Mu Xishan, "The city owner——No! Hello, the city owner!"

Everyone was waiting for Mu Xishan's decision.

Mu Xishan looked around the crowd indifferently, causing the onlookers to tense up, subconsciously backing away, and then Mu Xishan looked at the new humans, bending his eyes slightly, as if smiling.

The hearts of the onlookers sank, thinking that the new city lord would also favor the new humans, and even the troublemakers did not suspect him, showing secret joy on their faces.

But I heard Mu Xishan say word by word to the new humans: "I don't know if I am good or not, but I know that you will not be very good." After that, without giving anyone a chance to respond, he raised his voice and shouted not far away The patrolling guard, "Come on!"

From the onlookers to the rioters, the shocked eyes were suddenly caught off guard, as if they were not sure what they heard?

The old book stall on the ground let out a sigh of relief as expected, but no one paid attention. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Mu Xishan and the troublemaker.The troublemakers were puzzled as they watched a group of guards rushing over to salute Mu Xishan. Mu Xishan raised his chin and signaled, "Catch it!"

"Wait, wait!" The troublemaker yelled, with a supernatural fire ignited in his palm, aiming at the surrounding guards, he said anxiously while dodging: "You can't catch me, I'm a new human being."

According to the laws of this era, it is not a crime for new humans to harm old humans, but otherwise it is a crime.

Although the troublemaker could start the flames with only one hand, ordinary guards were helpless by waving their arms to burn them. The guards looked back at Muxi Mountain in embarrassment.

Mu Xishan lowered his head and saw toy bows without arrows on the stall next to him.

"Borrow it." Mu Xishan picked up the bow and the chopsticks on the vendor's lunch box.

The bow is huge, but the chopsticks are very short. Mu Xishan stretched the bowstring, used the elbow as the feather tail, the forearm as the arrow body, and the chopsticks as the arrow. With a very incredible posture, he drew the bow to the full and shot it with one chopstick.

Everyone watched in amazement at the sharp chopsticks, which flew straight towards the troublemaker. Due to the high speed, the airflow caused the flames to split into two and avoid to both sides. The blood that spewed out instantly extinguished the flames, and the chopsticks that penetrated the back of his hand also blocked the trajectory of the ability's activation.

One of the most amazing talents of the elves is shooting!

The troublesome new humans rolled to the ground screaming loudly.Mu Xishan paced around, walked over with the same posture as His Royal Highness Lan Rui, looked down at the loser from above, and said slowly: "I can, I can, I am the city lord here, and I represent the people here. law!"

The troublemaker wailed in pain and yelled unconvinced: "You, if you do this, I will complain to the New Humanity Union! As a superior person, I don't deserve this kind of humiliation!"

"Humiliation?" Mu Xishan slowly opened the corner of his mouth, "What you are enduring now is less than one-tenth of that old man who suffered from your atrocities. Maybe you think you are one percent lucky, so you are complacent and superior to others, then Let me tell you, I am one of the lucky ones out of [-], higher than you. Follow my law, I will give you a chance to rehabilitate, follow the law of class, I will kill you now, The trade union will not punish me for this - above class, who makes me more precious than you."

Mu Xishan gently stroked the face of the new human being, imitating His Highness Lan Rui's attitude towards the rebels, and his tone became more gentle: "What do you think?"

There was a smell of urine, and Mu Xishan stepped aside quickly, looked at the pale new human's wet crotch with disgust, clapped his hands, and turned his head to look around. The guards admired him for his unique skills, and the crowd even more so. Undisguised surprise and shock.

Mu Xishan straightened his back, changed another face, and raised his voice in a passionate tone full of ups and downs: "From today on - in my base, no one is allowed to bully others, commit crimes, or run amok! No matter whether it is a new Old human beings, with or without official positions, men, women, old and young, as long as they do things that hurt others, I will arrest them all!"

Everyone looked at the newly appointed city lord, Mu Xishan, in awe.

The crowd's admiration and applause from the corner of Muxi Mountain... He remembered that back then, Simon was so prestige. When he and his brothers were up for grabs, Simon crushed the face of his animal biological father with the sole of his shoe, and announced confidently, " I am the crown prince of this country, and this country is my responsibility. I will not allow anyone to commit crimes on my land, and whoever dares to harm the residents on my land will let him live without face in my land. country!" At that time, the emotion in his chest should be exactly the same as that of these people.

But his imitation of Simon does not represent all of his will.

He is not Simon. Simon is willing to use power to oppress and shape the country into the shape he wants, but Muxishan does not have such a high-level vision. He can only look from the bottom up. The changes he needs erupt from the inside, from the hearts of the people, Start to break free from the decay of the times.

Mu Xishan walked to the bookstall, first helped the old man to get up, and then faced the public again.

"You applaud me for my glory—but I don't want this kind of applause!" Facing the uproar, Mu Xishan did not change his face, and said again word by word: "The actions of the new humans are certainly hateful, and the old Human beings may be pitiful, but this kind of pitifulness also disappoints and hates me. I don’t need applause from cowards. This is not a compliment, it is an insult!!!”
