Yan Huang Shelter, Mayor's Office.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open with a bang.

Sun Dingze, who was pale, had just finished emergency treatment, and now he was in a very bad mood.

After sitting in the mayor's seat, Sun Dingze called to the leader of the city garrison with a gloomy face: [Is there any new news? Do you know who is going to assassinate me? 】

Sein is a very burly middle-aged man, he is very heroic in military uniform, and he is monitoring the actions of the entire Hope City in the command center at this time.

After receiving the call, he said silently: [I don't know yet, the warhead taken out of your body is a very ordinary bullet, and no clues can be traced, so Alayah has not been able to get effective information by analyzing the location of the killer according to the trajectory reverse, and the other party's actions are very meticulous. At the moment we initially suspect that it was done by fanatics of the True God Cult. 】

Sun Dingze roared angrily: [True God Sect? It's possible, but the Free Army won't escape suspicion! 】

Sain explained: "As far as I know, the Free Army has never meant to be an enemy of you, they are more like a non-profit organization that operates for refugees......]

[What kind of age is this, you tell me about public welfare!? Do you think it's still the era when the white left was prevalent!? Raise the alert level now! I'm going to get those guys out and break them to pieces! 】

After being silent for a moment, Sain said, "Understood, I will raise the alert level. 】

The panting Sun Dingze rubbed his head, and then suddenly saw that he had an unread message.

"Your Excellency Mayor, there is a man outside the shelter who claims to know of your assassination and that he wants to see you."

Angry, Sun Dingze, who almost lost his mind, immediately replied: "Let him in and bring him to me!" ”

Moments later, a young man pushed the door open.

Sun Dingze asked coldly, "Do you know who assassinated me?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The young man gracefully made a noble salute, and then said in a magnetic voice, "Let me introduce myself, I am Felix Grenfell, the first of the Grenfell family—"

Sun Dingze interrupted him: "I don't care what aristocratic members you are, no matter how glorious your family's past is, now is a new era of collapse, don't mention everything in the past, the reason why I see you is not because of your background, but because you may have information that I am more concerned about." ”

After Sun Dingze finished speaking, his eyes became more stern: "So, tell me, who wants to kill me?" If the information is true, I will pay you well. ”

A hint of gloom flashed across Felix's face, and he still adhered to his elegant posture, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said unhurriedly: "It is very impolite to interrupt a gentleman's speech, Mayor Sun...... However, I can understand your fear of being assassinated, and I have decided not to pursue your disrespect for my family's honor. ”

this guy has a sick brain!

Sun Dingze scolded secretly, and then heard Felix say very indifferently: "My subordinates saw that the person who assassinated you was a member of the Free Army. ”

Sun Dingze's face was gloomy, and his head was beating blue: "How do you know that you are from the Free Army?" ”

"Of course, it's because I've been dealing with them a lot."

"Now that you've seen the killer, why don't you catch him!?"

Felix took a sip of hot tea, put down the teacup, then stood up again and saluted, and said slowly: "Introduce yourself again, despicable Felix Grenfell, the leader of the Wolf of the Wasteland Mercenary Regiment, I think you must need a helper who understands the Free Army and is good at hunting to help you capture them, so I came here to introduce myself." ”

"You-"

Sun Dingze was almost suffocated by his anger: "-You deliberately let go of the murderer, just so that I could spend money to hire you!?" ”

Felix smiled brightly, "Of course you can understand that, but ...... You don't hire us, and we don't force it. ”

Sun Dingze gasped for breath, but after a while, he still accepted Felix's self-recommendation.

"Good! I can hire you! If you catch the murderer, you'll get 1,000 contribution points for each of you dispatch—"

"Tut-tut, Mayor Sun, are you looking down on us?"

Felix looked at Sun Dingze with a sneer: "Everyone, 5,000 contributions, and in addition to the remuneration paid to the mercenary group, you have to give me 10,000 contributions alone, otherwise you can find someone to do it yourself - I can guarantee that they will never catch the murderer in their lifetime." ”

The initiative is completely held by the other party, unless you give up revenge, you can only let the other party make a price, Sun Dingze's face was uncertain, and after hesitating for a long time, he said coldly: "I can agree to your conditions, but ...... If you can't bring the murderer, or if you can't prove that it is, Felix, I'll show you how terrible it is to deceive me. ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Felix bowed, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze: "Please believe in our strength." ”

……

The next day, when it was still very early, Song Ming, who was refreshed, had just gone out and saw Yiwen who was looking at him with disgust.

"Hey, I'm so careful to give you a chance, are you still a man?"

“……”

"Can you understand the pain of a person hiding in a cold hallway, waiting in anticite to watch a passionate live stream, only to have nothing happen?"

“……”

At this time, Caroline walked out of the room: "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing."

Yiwen waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I don't provide breakfast here, pay the debt to me quickly." ”

"Thank you."

Song Ming and Caroline leave Evan's clinic.

It was still early, but the lockdown on the streets was still tight, and the two of them, led by Caroline, returned to the Midnight Black Cat Hotel without danger.

"Caroline, you're finally back, what happened last night was not good!"

As soon as she saw Caroline, the strong man boss Angres said: "A lot of people think that we did the assassination of the mayor, and now the whole city of Hope is in lockdown." ”

Caroline frowned: "It doesn't matter to us whether the city is locked down or not, and we never go through the main gate anyway." ”

Caroline thought for a moment, and was just about to speak, when Song Ming said, "I'll avoid it first." ”

After Song Ming finished speaking, he went upstairs directly.

"Caroline, this guy is not of the same mind as us at all."

Angras frowned and said, "Is he really trustworthy?" ”

"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about."

Caroline sighed and said, "Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to directly pull him into our camp, but he offered to avoid it...... He's still very wary. ”

"Hey, I hope that guy really has the strength to be taken so seriously."

Angles took a sip, and then sent a message packet to Caroline: "This is the information sent this morning, the city garrison began to block the entrances and exits of Hope City, and at the same time tightened the supply policy, requiring everyone who buys daily necessities to register...... And I have enough reason to suspect that there may be a nanotracker hidden in this recent batch of supplies, which is aimed at our plan. ”

Caroline's mood suddenly changed to a very bad one: "How long can we hold out if we don't buy supplies from the shelter and buy them from the black market?" ”

"Less than 10 days ......"

"Food, weapons and ammunition on the black market are about 30% more expensive than those on the market, and the extra cost is terrible after the amount goes up. ”

"Damn! How so! ”

"The city garrison has changed its direction abruptly, and originally only adopted a strategy of arresting us, but since last night, they seem to have received orders and started to move seriously."

Angeles passed a list to Caroline and said angrily: "Since last night, we have been killed more than a dozen people!" They were all shot by the other side after giving up their resistance as you said! ”

Caroline looked at the cold list and lost her mind for a while: "Impossible! The City Guard won't do that! ”

"I don't know where you got your confidence, but that's the reality!"

Angles exclaimed, "Caroline! Wake up! Now we've completely torn our faces with the city guards! They've already started hunting us! ”

"That's not right!"

Caroline suddenly came to her senses: "There's definitely something wrong here!" And it must have something to do with the assassination of Sun Dingze last night! As I said, someone wants us to take the blame for them! ”

Angres was furious: "But it's the city guard who has been chasing our members!" ”

Caroline said quickly as she wandered: "I'm afraid the other party has been prepared for a long time, knowing that we don't want to face the city garrison head-on, so they directly lured them to deal with us...... Not only that, but it is also possible that they are the ones who killed our personnel, in order to completely exacerbate the conflict between us and the city garrison......"

Angres grabbed a thick modified machine gun from under the table and said coldly: "I don't care who the other party is, I only know that my brothers were killed by the city guard, so I want to kill them too!" ”

Everyone else in the room took up arms, anger, rage, anxiety, restlessness, all kinds of emotions filled everyone's minds.

"Look, look at what you look like now!"

Caroline shouted, "That's what they want!" You are jumping into the trap so recklessly, aren't you falling for the other party's conspiracy! ”

"How can you be so sure it's a conspiracy!?"

Caroline said with a cold face: "The Free Army was organized by me, did I miss my information before this!?" ”

“…… No. ”

Caroline said in a deep voice: "The more now, the more we should be calm!" ”

"Calm down? How do you calm us down? Our brethren are dead! ”

"What's more, under their total blockade, we don't have much supplies, and we can survive without weapons, but without food, we will all die!" It's just a matter of time! ”

Caroline shouted angrily, "Who said we don't have food? ”

Angeles was stunned.

Caroline pointed upstairs and said, "Have you forgotten what Song Ming is here for?" ”
