Chapter 1723: Chapter 906: Diplomacy Before Force (Part 2)
Otherwise, why would the other party need to linger here with us, wouldn’t it be better to control all of humanity directly?
Hundreds of years are enough for them to control humanity, right?
He looked at Black Spider and asked, "Does the West Continent have any experience?"
"No," Black Spider shook his head, "the West Continent just finds his spreading method too strange and must be cautiously vigilant, but hasn’t summed up any rules."
Qing Chen nodded, "So, now that things have reached this point, we don’t need to be in a hurry."
This time, even Luo Wanya couldn’t hold back, "Boss, it’s wartime now, it’s not the same as usual. Among these eleven thousand people who refuse screening, there are potential criminals, puppets, and spies from various organizations, there’s no need to be polite to them."
Qing Chen glanced at him, "Lao Luo, do you know what the most important thing in the Parents’ Meeting is?"
Luo Wanya was stunned for a moment, Xiao Wu interjected, "It’s our current strongest power."
He looked at Luo Wanya, but after Qing Chen’s words, Luo Wanya sighed, "The most important thing in the Parents’ Meeting isn’t power, it’s the people’s hearts."
Qing Chen laughed, "Lao Luo has made progress, the books he read recently haven’t been in vain. Xiao Wu, after this matter is over, read a book every day and send me your reading notes."
Xiao Wu: "Ah?"
Qing Chen said, "Do you think I am polite to enemies?"
Luo Wanya and the others exchanged glances, how was this guardian polite to enemies, he was downright ruthless.
Qing Chen smiled and continued, "Of course I know that among these over eleven thousand people, more than half probably have problems. In the past, I would have gone in directly to seize them. But now it’s different, if we forcibly enter homes and strip residents of political rights, how will they view us? Where is the credibility of the Parents’ Meeting?"
"Yes, giants are amazing, everyone knows they are amazing, and the Parents’ Meeting is doing good deeds. But if we violently break in without evidence, someone will undoubtedly write articles criticizing us. Remember, we must safeguard the rules we set, be wary of relying solely on violence."
An invader can act recklessly, but once you decide to protect, you bear many shackles.
But Qing Chen believes this is necessary for the Parents’ Meeting to go further.
’Not taking a needle or thread from the masses,’ viewed by many as discipline, Qing Chen sees as the wisdom of laying a solid foundation among the masses.
Xiao Wu scratched his head, "So just ignore them?"
"Of course not," Qing Chen smiled, "Don’t worry, I’m not that merciful to enemies."
Subsequently, the members of the Parents’ Meeting followed the personnel list, visiting each door with giants for screening!
The giants walked in crowded emergency staircases without complaints, running around with the family members... Nowadays, even one-tenth of the giants have joined the Parents’ Meeting, so it’s considered their responsibility.
Knock knock knock, a knocking sound echoed, "Is anyone home?"
An old man came to open the door, somewhat confused, and asked, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Xiao Wu glanced at the giant beside him, the giant shook his head.
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "We’re the grid leaders from the Parents’ Meeting downstairs. Seeing you’re elderly, we’ve come to deliver some rice and peanut oil."
After speaking, he placed the rice and peanut oil inside, even taking the garbage downstairs for the old man.
The old man’s eyes turned red with excitement, "Oh, it’s the Parents’ Meeting, you guys are wonderful! Thank you!"
After leaving, Xiao Wu had someone confirm with a life detector, "Is there anyone else inside? Any areas shielded by lead foil?"
The family member beside him shook his head, "No."
"Let’s go, to the next house," Xiao Wu felt some sentiment, the parents’ decision was wise.
During this round of door-to-door screening, most of the over eleven thousand people turned out to be elderly with blurred vision, and some were disabled individuals like the blind, genuinely unaware of such matters.
If they had forcibly broken in, they would have felt embarrassed at this moment.
Yes, the Parents’ Meeting aims to protect the people. If you wield power and recklessly trample the people’s rights in the name of killing the enemy, then you are not a qualified guardian.
This isn’t leniency, nor is Qing Chen being saintly, rather... people’s hearts are the foundation of the Parents’ Meeting, clearly and calmly understanding this foundation must not be destroyed.
Arriving at the next house, Xiao Wu held a life detector provided by Qing’s Family, observing someone inside pacing anxiously but showing no intention of coming out.
He didn’t waste words, simply left six family members at the door with the life detector to keep watch.
These family members were equally resolute, bringing their own food, cushions, just sitting there not planning to move.
The reason for six people staying was partly because two Shadow Troop Gene Soldiers paired with four C-Class members made up the highest tactical squad configuration of the Parents’ Meeting currently.
With such a configuration, even if an A-Class came out, they could manage to entangle for a while, sustaining until the Shadow Troop arrives to kill the enemy.
Of course, the probability of an A-Class expert being inside was extremely low.
On the other hand, they could form two teams for playing cards, avoiding boredom.
The family members had no sense of shame; when residents saw them at the door, they were shocked, "What are you doing here?"
The family members replied with a smile, "There’s a red code person inside who refuses to come out, we’re waiting for him."
"Then when will you be done waiting?" The resident exclaimed.
Unconcerned, the family members said, "Wait until he can’t stand hunger."
The Parents’ Meeting didn’t cut off water or electricity to this household; they were simply waiting.
First, these people refusing to come out definitely can’t stockpile much food at home, they will have to leave eventually.
As soon as you step out to eat, I’ll immediately call the giants over to screen you, without even needing to lay hands on you, determining you have a problem comes first.
If you truly have a problem, then it’s time to be ruthless.
Secondly, if these people starve to death at home, so what? Qing Chen aims to control your movements, preventing puppets and spies from acting freely.
Whether you’re at home or in jail, the Parents’ Meeting can expend manpower and resources for you, and that’s okay, we’ll keep you company!
Qing Chen doesn’t have any miracle tricks; he uses this sticky approach to peacefully solve problems. The Parents’ Meeting has numerous people now, with ample financial income.
... Though not many people are actually needed.
Within just one day, the list of over eleven thousand people, after door-to-door screening, left only 3190 people whose identities hadn’t been confirmed.
Among them, 3121 were stuck at home under guard, and 69 tried to escape, but couldn’t leave the city. Lodging, dining, and traveling all needed a gold code.
They suddenly realized, in this special period, in this special city number 10, even buying a protein bar requires a gold code.
If you can’t provide a gold code, the shop owner immediately calls the Parents’ Meeting, followed by overwhelming arrests.
Unsuccessful escaping, they were all captured by the Parents’ Meeting, screened by giants, and among these 69 people, 90% were spies from Jindai, Deer Island, and Chen Clan, 5% were Li Family spies, and 5% were puppets.
On the fourth day, finally someone inside couldn’t hold it anymore.
A young man opened the door, looked at the six family members outside with anguish.
He knew no matter how long he endured, even if he starved to death in the room, he couldn’t escape.
The family members tossed aside the playing cards they held, cheerily stood up, and said with laughter, "Brother, you finally came out. Hungry, right? Want to eat something?"
The young man lamentingly said, "I merely stole some things, is all this necessary?!"
The Parents’ Meeting hadn’t stated what their screening mission was, the public thought they were catching criminals.
The family members laughed, "Alright, follow us, don’t try approaching or touching us, remember, violating this rule brings death. Abiding by it, you can even dance while walking."
With that, six members of the Parents’ Meeting, three in front and three behind, escorted the young man to a unified screening point.
All six were visibly excited; they were finally about to breach these people’s defenses!
