Zhou Liang has been trying to meet with high-ranking officials in the central town for the past few days, but he hasn't been able to.
There's only one reason: first, he has no idea where the high-ranking figures in Central Town are. He rarely sees them in Central Town; the only one he sees most often is Ye Qian. As for the others, forget about it—he'll never see them. After all, these high-ranking figures, apart from Ye Qian, are basically not permanently stationed in Central Town.
They have their own address.
Come to think of it, how could they possibly live in such a familiar place as Central Town? If a riot broke out in Central Town, they would be the ones to suffer. So, for them, Central Town is just a place to work.
They'll come over when something comes up, but they probably won't even think of me when nothing's going on.
Zhou Liang was a little upset after learning about this, and seeing the helpless and depressed expression on his face made me very happy.
"What are you so happy about? Hurry up and help me think of a way to get those high-ranking officials from the central town to appear here," Zhou Liang asked me.
I chuckled and said, "You want me to help you figure something out? Don't you think that's a bit much?"
Zhou Liang looked at me, paused for a moment, and nodded, saying, "That's right, your pig brain definitely won't come up with any solutions. I'll have to rely on myself. It looks like I'll have to go out for a couple of days."
"Going out?" I asked, puzzled. "What are you going out for?"
Zhou Liang said, "What else can we do? Of course, we'll create trouble for the central town and force those high-ranking officials to show up. We can also find out where they live so that we can proceed according to plan."
I shook my head, having no idea what to do with his plan.
Zhou Liang said, "By the way, after I go out tomorrow, keep a close eye on things here, okay?"
"Keep an eye on what?" I asked.
Zhou Liang said, "What else could it be but raiders? More and more raiders are joining Central Town now. I estimate that in less than half a month, all the raiders will have joined Central Town. At that time, our plan will truly begin."
I said, "Okay, okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you."
...
The following morning, Zhou Liang left the central town to look for his clues.
As for me, I stayed in the central town to keep an eye on the looters.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, I arrived at the Central Town arena. There were quite a few raiders here today, mostly there to join Central Town.
I was watching from the sidelines out of boredom when I overheard the raiders queuing behind me talking about something.
"You didn't see it, a lot of people really died, and it was all within a certain area."
"How many people died? How many exactly?" the person behind asked in confusion.
The person in front said, "I don't know the exact number, but when I was wandering around that area, I saw at least a hundred corpses on the ground. And without exception, they were all beheaded, or shot in the head. In any case, those corpses didn't even have the chance to become zombies."
The people behind exclaimed in surprise, "That's terrifying! Who is it?"
The person in front shook his head and said, "I don't know, but one thing is certain: without exception, all of the hundreds of people killed were raiders. I saw quite a few of them at the Central Town Conference before. Who knew they would all die at once? It's terrifying."
The people behind him cursed, "Damn it, does this guy have no humanity? Why does he only target raiders? Do we have a grudge against him?"
The person in front said, "I don't know about this wine, but I heard that the higher-ups in the central town already know about it. Apparently, they've already sent people to investigate, and the truth will definitely come out eventually."
The person behind said, "Hopefully, I wasn't here before. Otherwise, if I had encountered this raider killing someone, I would have been dead for sure."
"Yeah, hey, it's better to join Central Town. At least we don't have to worry about safety. If we keep waiting outside, we might run into that Raider Killer. We definitely wouldn't survive if we met someone as cruel as him."
Listening to these two guys discussing back and forth, I started to think about it.
The central town already knows about this? And has begun investigating it?
I don't think that's possible. While pillagers are indeed important to Centraltown, Centraltown certainly wouldn't waste so much energy investigating this matter just because of pillagers.
I suspect that the investigation in the central town is definitely related to the trap set by Zhou Liang before.
Zhou Liang had previously instigated an internal conflict between the Central Town forces and the raiders, resulting in the complete annihilation of both sides.
This matter will definitely arouse suspicion in the central town, so they will definitely launch an investigation because of it.
As for how the investigation will proceed, I don't know. However, I suspect that this kind of thing will ultimately yield no results. After all, the incident itself was very strange, and even if the central town intervenes in the investigation, they probably won't find anything.
In the end, the central town will definitely give up this matter for the sake of the bigger picture.
Even now, I still don't understand why Zhou Liang set up this scheme.
Shaking my head, I watched as the raiders registered their identities one by one and then joined the central town, feeling a sense of helplessness.
If things continue like this, the central town will only become stronger.
I sighed and turned to go to the bar.
When I got inside the bar, I saw Zhang Lincai behind the counter. This guy has been busy with the resort these days, what's he doing here today?
"What are you doing in the central town today?" I asked, puzzled.
Zhang Lincai said, "The resort matter is almost finished. The personnel there have been arranged, and everything that needed to be done has been done. Next, we just need to get those raiders in and conduct unified training, and everything will be fine. By the way, what kind of wine do you want to drink?"
"I don't want to drink alcohol, just give me a glass of water," I said.
Zhang Lincai handed me a glass of water.
He continued, "By the way, have you heard of the Raider Killer these days?"
I was taken aback. I looked at Zhang Lincai, did not deny it, and nodded, saying, "I've heard it. I heard those raiders talking about it when I was waiting outside."
Zhang Lincai said, "This matter is quite serious. The central town has already sent people to investigate and try to find out which group did it."
I was surprised. I had thought the two raiders were just speculating, but it turned out that the town of Central had sent people to investigate, which was really hard to believe.
"Is it that serious?"
Zhang Lincai said, "More than two hundred people have died. Do you think that's serious? This matter has caused widespread panic. If we don't resolve it quickly, we may not be able to explain ourselves to those looters."
