Armor Guardians

Chapter 258 Public Opinion
After much discussion, the lawmakers still couldn't reach a definite decision.

In the past, they wouldn't have taken these things to heart. After all, meetings are just a lot of wrangling, and it's normal for some plans to take a long time to be finalized. But the current situation is special, and a decision must be made sooner rather than later.

Following that, another legislator proposed the same solution: let the people of the planet vote and see what their true thoughts were without interference.

If the number of votes in favor exceeds the number of votes against, then the plan can be tried; otherwise, it should not be brought up again.

This means that the right to choose has been returned to the people. As a result, the two factions of lawmakers finally stopped arguing and reluctantly agreed to the plan, returning the right to choose to the people.

The R&D department staff rushed to produce the voting software, and special envoys from various countries were sent to inspect and supervise it to ensure that there was no tampering in the software.

Of course, it takes a lot of time to prepare these things; it cannot be done in a day.

Inside the prison, Xia Qianmeng was unaware that her words had caused a great stir among the people outside. After seeing that the old man opposite her had stopped asking her questions, she lay back down on the comfortable and soft bed next to her, seemingly intending to rest like that.

After a long while, Xia Qianmeng heard the old man's voice again.

"Ms. Xia Qianmeng, thank you for your valuable suggestion. We will meet again in the future. In the meantime, we hope you can stay here as peacefully as before. We will try our best to meet all your reasonable requests."

After saying that, the old man turned and left without hesitation. His gait was still steady, and he seemed much more relaxed than when he came, as if he had resolved some matter.

Xia Qianmeng was too lazy to guess anything. After no one came to disturb her, she returned to her previous decadent state, eating her fill, sleeping, and playing when she was rested enough.

Outside, the situation on the sky island in Atlantis was similar to what Xia Qianmeng had described. When the human machines tried to take advantage of the chaos to ascend, they were immediately stopped by the mysterious energy above, and then lost power and crashed into the sea...

Most of those who participated in the flight mission perished, but some were lucky enough to survive and brought back the latest intelligence from that side to humanity.

It turns out that Atlantis wasn't unable to stop the alien beasts from going up; rather, they deliberately lured them up, and the attacks that tried to stop them were merely symbolic.

Therefore, when they boarded the aircraft, they immediately saw the enormous bodies of the mutant beasts. Although the mutant beasts withstood the attacks from the air, they were instantly killed after successfully boarding.

Such strength made not only the speaker feel that his words were too unbelievable and that he was exaggerating the other side's strength, but even the listeners found it absurd.

However, the fact that Atlantis wasn't destroyed by the alien beasts was a good thing, and everyone thought so.

Three days later, Xia Qianmeng was playing some childish web-based computer games on the specially provided computer as usual. However, she had only played half of the game when the webpage automatically crashed, and a data collection form appeared in front of her...
