An Unexpected Situation During the Election of President

Chenchen and Yun Cheng seemed more excited than Xing Feng over the fact that Xing Feng had got two golden eagles. From time to time, they would ask one of the eagles to transform and fly them in the sky above the base. Within a few days, everyone in the base knew they had got two new pets, and the joke that Yun Che was opening a zoo was spreading around.

The next few days were as thrilled as a Hollywood movie. On the night that the Blood Vine was planted, they heard screams from outside the yard. When they went outside, an invisibility superfunction possessor was entangled by the plant, dead already. The vines had inserted into his body, consuming his flesh and blood. Though everyone was shocked by the creepy image, they felt relieved. Now that they knew the Blood Vine actually worked, they would no longer need to worry about any invisible intruders.

The next day, a rumor started to spread among people, saying that the whole school thing was just a scam of Wei Army to canvass votes for the upcoming election of the president of the Superfunction Association. Nobody knew the origin of the rumor, but it traveled all over the base in a short period. Some believed it, while some didn't. Most of the people were skeptical about Wei's motive. As Yun Che had said before, once people started to question your motive, even a sacred cause might look like a dark conspiracy.

At first, Wei Army tried to suppress the rumor under the name of investigation, which ended up making them look guiltier. Noticing that more and more people started to question their integrity, Wei Army changed their strategy very soon. They pulled back the soldiers and put out a statement, saying that they had been planning to build a school since a long time ago, and that the construction was about to start in Section D. They urged everyone not to be misled by the rumors, adding that such a large project was not something that anyone could come up overnight.

The statement finally saved their sinking reputation. However, before they could catch a breath, Mo Wenyang personally led a group of people to Wei's camp and condemned Wei Army for sending out invisibility superfunction possessors to steal classified information. People from Wang Army did the same thing as well. Because Mo Wenyang intentionally kept a high profile, the news spread fast. When people in the base learned that the school plan was stolen from Mo Army, they all criticized Wei Army for their despicable means. When Wei Army was under fire from the public, its superfunction squads were also despised by other superfunction possessors. The two squads had to be on guard all the time for fear that they might get attacked by others. In a word, Wei Army was in a hell of trouble.

A few days later, on the last day of May, the new superfunction association was established, and the election of the president of the Superfunction Association was held in Section C. In the morning, each superfunction possessor got a voting ticket at the entrance of the Superfunction Association. They wrote down the names of the candidates they supported and put the tickets in the half-person high ballot boxes at the entrance. The voting ended at four in the afternoon, and the representatives of the three armies and the government started counting the votes in front of everyone.

"One vote for Zhang Guang!"

"One vote for Zheng Yun!"

"One more vote for Mo Wenyang."

"One more vote for Yun Che."

In the open space at the entrance of the Superfunction Association, the host Jiang Wanshan with the government was counting the votes with a big horn in his hand. The numbers on the screens on both sides were updated in real-time. At the moment, Mo Wenyang was leading with over 9,000 votes. The person ranking second was Yun Che, who had publicly declared that he didn't want to be the president. He had more than eight thousand votes. The third was Xing Feng, who only had about 3,000 votes. As for the two candidates representing Wang Army and Wei Army, one ranked fourth with a few votes less than Xing Feng, and the other only had less than a hundred votes. Facing such a big margin, the representatives of those two armies were frustrated.

"It seems that it has become a competition between you and Wenyang. Well, I didn't see this coming."

Standing in the crowd, Xing Feng said to Yun Che in a teasing tone. They did an excellent job of canvassing votes, but they didn't expect so many votes to go to Yun Che. Wenyang must have complicated feelings at the moment.

"Well, what can I say? This is the personal charm."

Yun Che chuckled as he said, implying that Mo Wenyang was not as charming as he was. He never tried to convince any electors to vote for him, but his votes were still close to Wenyang's.

"I guess it is."

Xing Feng echoed him with an indulging smile. Both of their teammates chuckled involuntarily. This result had surprised everyone. Why was this happening? Maybe Yun Che was indeed too charming. Or maybe some of the superfunction possessors just liked to vote for him for fun.

Everyone knew that this was a competition among the three armies. When you voted for the representative of an army, it would suggest that you had taken their sides. To avoid offending any army, some people chose to vote for someone without a military background, such as Yun Che and Xing Feng.

"Now, we have the final results of the election. Congratulations to Major General Mo Wenyang! You've become the President of the Superfunction Association with forty-five thousand votes!"

About an hour later, Jiang Wanshan announced the results of the election. Mo Wenyang won the election, leading Yun Che by several hundred votes. When he stood up and waved his hand to everyone, thunderous applause resounded in the area. The people with Wang Army and Wei Army wanted to flee, but they had to stay and clap their hands like everyone else. They had gloomy and frustrated looks because they didn't just lose, but they also lost by a large margin, which was embarrassing.

"Congratulations to Major General Mo! It's a shame Captain Yun has lost. Their votes are so close."

Jiang Wanshan picked up a microphone and said in a seemingly casual tone. To some people, it sounded like he was trying to drive a wedge between Mo and Yun. It was terrible news to the other two armies and the government that Mo Army had taken over the Superfunction Association, as it suggested that Mo Army had become stronger, even as powerful as the other two armies and the government combining together.

"It's a lucky win. If I had lost to Captain Yun, I wouldn't have any problem with it. We used to carry out missions together, and I know how capable Captain Yun is. If he were to lead the Superfunction Association, I believe he would do as good as me."

With a glance at Jiang Wanshan, Mo Wenyang picked up the microphone and said.

His speech received thunderous applause from the superfunction possessors. Mo Wenyang raised his hands and pressed down, instructing everyone to quiet down. "Although you already know me, I'd like to introduce myself officially. I'm Mo Wenyang, from XXX Group Army of the Southwest. My mom is the military commander, and my dad is the commissar. Since most of you already knew that, I guess I'd better not try to hide it."

"Hahaha…"

When he talked about his parents, it didn't sound like he was bragging at all. Instead, his humorous tone made all the superfunction possessors burst into laughter. Those who had voted for him felt lucky that they had made the right choice. And those who had voted for the representatives of the other two armies had every reason to be happy as they could receive material supplies from the two armies and have a humorous president at the same time.

"As you can see, the Superfunction Association has been rebuilt, and it will officially resume operation tomorrow. Regarding the backlog of various issues from the former president, I hereby promise that I will give you answers within three days. What's more, we will set up a complaint department and a supervisory department for you to report problems with real names or anonymously. The complaint department will be required to announce the process results within three days whenever it receives a complaint. If the complaint department fails to honor its duty, you can file a complaint at the supervisory department, and we'll severely punish those who neglect their duty. Well, please do keep it in mind that we only have limited human resources. Don't go to the complaint department for a quarrel with your neighbors or any other daily trivial matters."

"Haha…"

Born and raised in a prestigious family, Mo Wenyang had a talent for lightening the atmosphere. While talking about a serious topic, he could still make people laugh. A superfunction possessor shouted in the crowd, "Major General Mo, what if the supervision department slack on their jobs, too?"

Everyone knew that this person was just kidding, just like many people joked around when Yun Che recruited members in the superfunction hall in the past.

"In that case, you can come to me. I'm not just a title, am I? If I'm slack as well, that's simple – You can replace me with a new president."

"Hahaha…"

The superfunction possessors burst into laughter once again. The atmosphere was getting better, and Mo Wenyang had built a connection with superfunction possessors. He was probably the most amiable man in the military. In contrast, his rivals had become more and more upset.

"Now that Mo Wenyang has become the president, we can finally take a break."

Standing in the crowd, Yun Che stretched himself. Since he didn't need to worry about the laboratory thing, his next priority was to help their squads become stronger. Of course, he also needed to train Chenchen. Recently, he had been taking Chenchen to kill zombies every afternoon after Chenchen came back from school. When they were out there, Chenchen would yell about beating the bad guys and conjured all kinds of superfunction balls to smash zombies excitedly.

"Uh-huh. I know you've been tired recently. Would you like me to cook dinner tonight?"

These days, he had become busy again. If it weren't for the election today, he wouldn't have had time standing here.

"Forget it. We're only on holiday once in a blue moon. If you really want to make it up for me, how about serving me at night?"

The so-called "serving" would be in bed, of course. Xing Feng was more than happy to meet his demand. "Remember that you ask for it. Don't tell me to stop halfway."

"Hey, we're standing right here. Would you please stop your lovey-dovey show?"

Before Yun Che could say anything, Zhou Zeyu protested on behalf of all the bachelors of the two squads. Were they trying to push them to find a spouse by showing off?

"You…"

"Uncle! Uncle!"

When Yun Che was about to show these people how shameless he could be, he was interrupted by Chenchen. Everyone followed the voice and looked up, only to find a plump kid sitting on a giant eagle waving at them. He was holding a snow-white fox in his arms, and a black puppy was lying on his head on the stomach. Many people had met him, and they knew he was Yun Che's nephew, Yun Zichen.

"Uncle, let's go to beat the bad guys."

Chenchen made the eagle fly lower. After coming back from school and having dinner at home, he was energetic.

"No problem."

With a nod, Yun Che conjured the air superfunction to lift himself and sat on the giant eagle. At the sight of that, Yun Cheng yelled, "Brother, I'm coming with you, too."

"If you come with us, we won't be beating anything. Be good. Go home with Yehan."

If this Super Zombie stood there, all the other zombies would run away immediately. How was Chenchen supposed to practice then?

With that, Yun Che patted the eagle, instructing the giant bird to get moving. Watched by those envious people, Eagle King rose in the sky and flew Yun Che and Chenchen out of the base.

After a while, the crowd started to scatter as the election was already over. Chen Hua and Lei Dashan, who were close to Chaoyang and Peak Squad, asked curiously, "Who are the bad guys they are going to beat?"

With a gleam in his eyes, Zhou Zeyu, who was about to leave, intentionally raised his voice, "They're killing zombies."

"Excuse me?"

Everyone was shocked at his answer. It was not weird for Captain Yun to kill zombies, but a lovely small kid? He was kidding, right? Maybe he wasn't. This could be the secret that had made Peak Squad so strong – They trained kids to kill zombies since childhood.

At the thought of that, these people just found Peak Squad more mysterious and scarier.
