Outside, with the outbreak of the disaster, countless cities have been devastated.
The country is shattered, the population is withered, and the survivors are shrinking into various cities of refuge to survive.
Rock City, because of the influx of a large number of refugees, directly turned into a large city with a population of more than 100 million, both the price of land and the price of food have increased wildly, and after several rounds of rulers, the order of the city has gradually stabilized.
The current ruler of Rock City is named Sigrit, nicknamed Lady Terror.
This is an ageless female pharmacist, with very secret abilities, she not only succeeded in killing the previous ruler, but also suppressed all disobedience with terrifying means, and can be said to be the number one strong person in Rock City.
There are also many dieters under her command, who used to hide in the mountains and mountains to conduct their own research, but when everything was destroyed by the catastrophe, they had to flee to the city of refuge.
At this time, Zhang Jianxing was leaning against a towering ancient tree, holding black tea in his hand, and his eyes were closed.
A man walked over at this time and said, "Lord Xing, this is the result of the recent investigation, please take a look." ”
"Hmm!"
Zhang Jianxing opened his eyes, took a pile of information, and looked at it carefully.
He was one of the first contestants to settle in Rock City, but instead of being in the limelight to compete for the position of city lord, he took advantage of the fact that prices had not yet increased, bought three properties with the funds in hand, and collected a group of selected refugees as eyes and ears.
There is no doubt that he is not the only contestant in Rock City now, and there must be more contestants.
The problem is that everyone is extremely good at disguise, and it is not easy to determine who the contestants are.
Zhang Jianxing's method is very simple, that is, to develop eyes and ears, pay attention to all personnel, and anyone who is suspicious pays close attention.
In fact, even then it is difficult to find the contestants, for example, he once caught a catapothecary who wielded a katana, but unfortunately after torture, he learned that it was taught by a catapothecary named Hemerway.
In the end, because of this incident, he had to break his arm and solve more than a dozen people secretly, otherwise he would probably be tracked down by other people with intentions.
After that mistake, he has rarely made a move, and even if he finds a suspect, he is mainly observing for the time being.
At present, Rock City is a small number of people, not to mention food resources, and even water resources are very scarce, so in order to compete for limited survival resources, there will be large and small battles almost every day, different forces in order to compete for interests, in those hidden alleys to fight, every morning in charge of cleaning up the Rock City sanitation staff have to collect the bodies of those who lose.
Now in Rock City, there are three kinds of people.
The first is the people in power, who are in control of the land resources in Rock City and make the rules.
The second type is the team of catapothecaries, who are one of the few who can still return safely after leaving Rock City, and they have many rare resources in their hands.
The last type is ordinary people, who have no decent strength, no skills, their lives are miserable, selling children and daughters is just a common thing, and even many of them starve to death because they have no food.
Zhang Jianxing excluded the first and third types of people, believing that most of the contestants should hide in the second type of people, so he locked on several targets.
For example, the dragon hunter Assange, the ghost-eyed Duruff, the white wolf Morris......
Although these people do not have any suspicion, their strength and behavior style are very suitable for the characteristics of the contestants.
Zhang Jianxing does not need to deliberately look for evidence to prove whether they are contestants or not, as long as there is suspicion, it is enough to attract his attention, after all, all the contestants are actors, and they cannot be underestimated in the slightest.
"Assange recently had a conflict with the white wolf Morris for a young girl, which is a bit interesting." He looked at the information in his hand and suddenly burst out laughing.
The dragon hunter Assange may really just be doing it for the girl, but it is also possible that he is just looking for an excuse and then attacking the white wolf Morris.
True or false, even Zhang Jianxing can't tell the truth of this matter.
It is possible that neither of them is a contestant, it is possible that one of them is a contestant in the midterm, and it is possible that there are contestants in the two forces who are pushing for this.
There are too many possibilities to prove.
Zhang Jianxing didn't plan to confirm it, although the score is important, it is equally important to survive, after all, if you die, no matter how high the score is, it is meaningless.
If you survive to the end, you may not lose.
"Huh? Someone is actually beating my idea, but it's normal, and it's not strange that the cataclysm has driven a group of predators into a cage, and it's not surprising that they're being targeted. Zhang Jianxing continued to look at the information, and suddenly found that one of the materials showed that someone was investigating his information.
Everyone in Rock City is now baited, and even if he is low-key, the real estate in his hand attracts bears like nectar.
"Find out who is investigating me and find out!" After reading the information, Zhang Jianxing said to the man next to him.
The man bowed slightly, then turned to run errands.
After the man left, Zhang Jianxing pressed one hand on the root of the big tree, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, as I guessed, some people have rebelled." ”
In the final analysis, the forces under his command are not cultivated from below, and the team that has been improvised is also complicated, and the personnel are also complicated, so it is not strange that there are traitors.
However, intelligence gathering is normal now, and many forces are collecting intelligence, and he is not a very conspicuous one.
Who will it be?
……
Viscount Dewey's Palace.
Since the death of Viscount Du Wei, Lady Vivien has taken over the power of the entire Viscount's Mansion.
At first, several relatives tried to unite to seize power and property, but they were all accidentally killed in the course of the confrontation, and no one dared to question Lady Vivien's skills from then on.
At this time, Mrs. Vivien walked quickly to a room, when she stopped in front of a door, those eyes suddenly became charming, and her body slightly weakened to push the door open, a handsome man looked out the window in the room, heard the sound of the door and turned around, a perfect side face turned back to kill Mrs. Vivian's head was blank, and the heart seemed to jump out of the chest and be sent to the man.
"William, what you asked me to investigate, there are results." Vivien's voice became delicate, completely different from what it had used to be.
William's narrow eyes stared at Vivian, and suddenly the world seemed to be left with each other, Vivian's body was so weak that she couldn't help but come up, William caught her whole person with doting eyes, and said, "Who instructed those people?" My little darling. ”
"They...... They're all ......" Vivien's breathing became short, and she couldn't finish before she could finish her words, shaking constantly.
William showed a hint of a smile, and sure enough, the ability to swallow the sky toad was extremely useful, and it was extremely targeted to female creatures.
The swallowing of the sky in the toad is not to devour the sky, but to devour swans, simply put, a kind of toad that feeds on swans, they can release pheromones against all female creatures, thus attracting female swans, and then jumping out of the water to devour.
William also has this pheromone on him, but he adjusts it to target human women.
Obviously, this works very well.
With his rhetoric and ability, he lived perfectly in the Viscount's Mansion without attracting anyone's attention, but kept a low profile investigating the power structure in Rock City, so as to deduce possible contestants.
Although Zhang Jianxing is very low-key, it is precisely this low-key that catches his attention, after all, the contestants are also very low-key, but like the dragon hunter Assange and others, they were directly excluded by him, because these people are not like contestants, but more like puppets who have been pushed to the surface.
Of course, this is only his personal judgment, and he will not regard it as a result, and if he really wants to draw a conclusion, he needs to have tangible evidence.
After satisfying Lady Vivian, he got the information he wanted from Lady Vivian's mouth, looking at Lady Vivian, who was already asleep, his hand gently stroked the beautiful hair, and countless tiny black dots quickly climbed up the hair, and disappeared into the roots of the hair in a blink of an eye.
"Starbucks...... Hoshi-sama, interesting. ”
William knows very well that this Starbucks has a great chance of being a contestant, but the opponent never leaves the residence, so it is difficult to deal with.
If it were him, a place to stay for a long time would definitely have to prepare a large number of traps, prepare countless backhands and escape channels.
From himself to others, I believe that the other party is the same, Starbucks' residence is definitely very dangerous, and the mortality rate is extremely high if he rushes in, even if he is quite confident in his own strength, he will not take risks rashly.
"Madam, Lord Archer is looking for you!"
At that moment, there was a knock at the door, followed by the voice of a maid.
William put on his pants, put his pajamas on his body, walked over and opened the door, and before he could speak, a dagger stabbed him instantly.
Dangerous!
William's pupils contracted instantly, and he bent back at the moment when the skin of his throat was punctured, narrowly avoiding the blow.
Outside the door, the unremarkable maid changed the grip of the dagger in her hand expressionlessly, changing from stabbing to stabbing, and quickly stabbed downward.
William simply gave up to keep his balance, and the whole person fell to the ground, but he was lucky to avoid the dagger's stab, and he rolled back up after a few rolls, but the maid had already stuck to him, and before he could touch the gun, the dagger struck again.
Vivien...... Assassin! William quickly avoided the attack, but also lost the opportunity to hold the gun, and he could only shout loudly.
Unfortunately, his abilities were so strong that Vivien slept quite deeply, and his cries didn't work.
The maid attacked again, and he could only continue to dodge.
At this time, the cut skin of his neck had shed a lot of blood, and he looked very embarrassed, but he didn't have time to deal with the wound, so he could only retreat and dodge again and again.
