These are all seasoned veterans who have survived several apocalypses; none of them are fools. The city lord's intention is clear: he has high hopes for Zhang Lin and has assigned him a position that is even higher than that of the fifth team captain.
"City Lord, he's just an ordinary person who hasn't even awakened his memories of his past life. Do you really think so highly of him?" Luo Jinxin asked, frowning.
The problem wasn't solved for him. Even if Zhang Lin replaced someone else, as the captain of the fifth team, he would definitely be the one squeezed out.
Being the fifth child is truly tragic.
The city lord stood with his hands behind his back, his silver mask shimmering in the sunlight. He spoke softly, "You all know me. I've always only looked at strength."
"Then may I ask, City Lord, where would Zhang Lin rank in your heart?" Luo Jinxin couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, everyone around held their breath.
To be honest, they were already quite surprised that Zhang Lin, who had never awakened his memories of his past life, could become the captain so quickly.
Having witnessed Zhang Lin's clean and efficient killing, and his ability to slaughter zombies today, everyone generally accepted his appointment as captain.
But even among captains, there are differences.
According to the city lord's rules, captains can challenge each other at will, and each captain receives different treatment. Everyone wants to be the captain with the highest ranking.
The captain of the fifth team is a bit more special than the first four.
All residents of Hope City can challenge the captain of Team Five. If they succeed, they will be promoted to the new captain of Team Five. If the original captain of Team Five does not die in the challenge, he will lose all his status and benefits.
Only after becoming the captain of the fifth team can one continue to challenge for higher positions.
The captain of Team Five is the one who changes the most frequently.
The city lord appointing someone who was new to Hope City as the captain of the fifth team was acceptable to everyone, but what about the first four...
Many people don't understand this.
The captains of the five teams changed frequently and the mortality rate was high, but the top four were different. They could maintain their positions for a long time, and even if they were challenged, they would only drop one place in the rankings.
In other words, the positions of the first four team leaders were mostly rotated among the four of them.
The captain of the fifth team is not the same as the captain of the first four teams.
Because they understood this concept, everyone present was very curious.
In the city lord's heart, where does Zhang Lin rank?
Luo Jinxin's eyes widened, anticipating an answer.
The city lord didn't hide anything and said directly, "The second one!"
Σ(⊙▽⊙\"a
Everyone was stunned.
And this was accompanied by gasps of shock.
Second place!
Previously, most people guessed that Zhang Lin would at most be fourth, and even if he was more outstanding, he would only be third!
However, the city lord gave it an extremely high rating, ranking it second.
"Lord of the city, are you telling the truth?"
"Lord City Lord, could you please explain your reasoning?"
"City Lord..."
"..."
Some impatient people couldn't help but ask.
The city lord simply said, "If you don't understand, you can challenge Zhang Lin and experience his strength for yourself!"
"Well……"
No one spoke up then.
Putting aside Zhang Lin's already impressive performance, the city lord's current evaluation of him is enough to deter many people.
Luo Jinxin remained silent, his brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.
He hadn't expected Zhang Lin to hold such a high position in the city lord's heart.
His potential to rank second made him somewhat wary.
Just then, the city lord, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, asked, "Little Luo, what do you say? Do you want to challenge him? Zhang Lin is my handpicked captain of the second team. If you succeed in the challenge, your ranking will jump directly to second place."
A group of people stared wide-eyed at the city lord.
Didn't you just say you were optimistic about Zhang Lin?
Why does this seem like they're setting a trap for Zhang Lin?
Despite the fact that Li Chuan, a reborn individual, was slaughtered by Zhang Lin like a pig, the onlookers didn't believe that Zhang Lin could easily deal with Luo Jinxin.
Ordinary residents of Hope City and team leaders are different.
Even though Luo Jinxin was only the captain of the fifth team.
No one knows how many trump cards this captain-level reborn individual has.
Luo Jinxin also looked at the city lord, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "City lord, may I ask if it is permissible to use supernatural abilities during a challenge at this time?"
Upon hearing this, a chorus of exclamations erupted from the crowd of onlookers.
"As expected, none of these captains are to be underestimated!"
"Before the New Era, no one could obtain a superhuman template. Where did Captain Luo get his superhuman abilities?"
"But extraordinary abilities aren't limited to just one type of extraordinary template?"
"You haven't forgotten that zombies are also a type of supernatural creature. They are the only monsters that have existed from the beginning to the end of the apocalypse!"
"Indeed, I can remember several extraordinary items and potions that can be made from zombies!"
"Brother, tell me in detail!"
"Are you stupid? This method has side effects and all sorts of hidden dangers. Otherwise, why do you think I wouldn't use it?"
"..."
A murmur of discussion arose.
But Luo Jinxin didn't care at all, his eyes fixed on the city lord, waiting for a reply.
He dared not underestimate a person ranked second by the city lord, and he would not dare to challenge him if he could not use his trump card.
But if one could use the extraordinary...
He was willing to pay a price to challenge Zhang Lin.
