This is the most serious meeting that Ji Jiu has ever attended among so many.

He glanced at the solemn face of the owner, obediently took out a piece of mutated dried fruit from his bag and ate it, not disturbing their meeting.

The leader of the non-ability special department took a sip of hot tea from his thermos cup. "I never thought that in less than two months, the leaders of the seven major forces would be reduced to just five of us."

The chief justice remained silent, rushing in so hastily that he didn't even have time to put on his wig. No one expected that the Church, which was very prominent just a short while ago, would be exposed to such a major scandal. Even now, the base is still dealing with the aftermath caused by the Church.

As an ally of the Church before, he spent the night without sleep yesterday just to clear his name.

He couldn't believe that the person would have the audacity to collude with the Blood Sect.

They are a group of maniacs specialized in killing humans!

Even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do something that would lead to the destruction of the base.

Chen Yanli's face showed rare fatigue. "I think everyone should know that we are facing a problem now. This matter has been delayed for too long. From the establishment of the base to the present, we have always lacked a true leader."

This matter is too complicated. Even if most of the issues are put aside, just considering the candidate for that position is already a tricky matter.

Hu Yan stretched his long legs, revealing a somewhat refined and eccentric temperament. However, his words were very out of tune. "I abstain, let's make it clear. Our research institute only needs a good research environment for our studies. So, no matter what changes the forces of the base go through, as long as that person can ensure our supply of samples, I will nominate him."

The chief justice became anxious. "Hasn't your research institute's resources always been provided by the Hunter's Guild?"

Hu Yan glanced over. "So, is there a problem with my nomination of Chief Si?"

The chief justice was choked and had nothing to say. He couldn't argue with smart people, so he shifted his gaze to Chen Yanli. He smiled like a dried chrysanthemum. "Miss Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Yanli lowered her eyes. "Our long-standing dilemma is that it's difficult to convince people if an ordinary person is elected in a world where strength is paramount. However, if an awakened person becomes the leader of the base, we are afraid it will break the current equal status between awakened and ordinary people."

In the face of a great catastrophe, humans are born unequal.

However, they are people who have been nurtured by social civilization. How could they willingly abandon the lofty belief of equality in human character?

Out of the initial fifty-three medium to large-scale bases across the country, there are likely fewer than five still surviving. Survivors from other annihilated bases often come to join them, but the base has never turned away any survivor, whether they are ordinary people or awakened individuals. This is something that other bases cannot achieve.

The chief justice interrupted Chen Yanli and wiped his sweat vigorously. "In that case, I'll be straightforward. I choose to nominate the head of the Non-ability Special Department as the leader of our base."

Although the chief justice is also one of the ruling forces in the base, he knows that the matter of allying with the Church is not completely over. Currently, he has no hope of becoming the leader with his prestige, so he might as well take advantage of the situation to sell favors to his opponents.
