After Zhang Lincai burned down the house in the corner of the central town, the bird flu incident was dropped.
The bodies of those three people had been completely burned, as had the things they had touched and the coat I was wearing; Zhang Lincai had burned them all.
In this way, the bird flu should not spread further.
In addition, to prevent the spread of avian influenza, Zhang Lincai had someone specifically check the chickens and ducks they were raising. Only after confirming that there was no problem did he relax.
The days that followed returned to normal.
Because of the public revelation of Zhou Liang's relationship with Chen Tianqi, and the fact that Zhou Liang began to take over affairs in Central Town, his status in Central Town is now second only to Ye Qian and the others.
Basically, apart from Ye Qian and his two big shots, and Chen Tianqi, the leader, Zhou Liang is the most powerful person in the central town.
Of course, there's also Yecheng.
However, Ye Cheng's brains couldn't compare to Zhou Liang's, and Zhou Liang was too lazy to argue with him, so the two didn't have any apparent conflicts.
However, Ye Cheng secretly looked down on Zhou Liang.
After all, Zhou Liang had only been in the central town for a short time, yet he had climbed to such a high position in just half a month. Ye Cheng was unable to adapt, so he was very unhappy. He went to see his brother Ye Qian several times, but it was still to no avail.
Zhou Liang remained in his position as usual.
Therefore, Ye Cheng was genuinely unhappy with Zhou Liang.
Ye Cheng told me all these things himself when he was drinking one of his own, and I just listened without making any comments.
Besides these, Ye Cheng also told me that he really wanted to see Zhou Qingya, as he hadn't seen her in a long time and missed her terribly.
I naturally couldn't let him go to the research institute again, so I could only say, "Anyway, the central town conference is going to start at the end of November. When they come, you'll be able to see them, won't you?"
Ye Cheng was very happy to hear this, and then he didn't say anything more to me. After getting drunk, he was carried out of the bar and went back to his room to sleep soundly.
The central town conference is coming up soon; time really flies.
I don't know what Zhou Liang is going to do.
He's already established himself in the central town and gotten a foothold. Shouldn't he start killing people now?
After all, if those above him hadn't died, power in Central Town wouldn't have been able to fall into his hands.
However, it's unclear whether he will actually make a move.
...
A few days later, the central town conference was held as scheduled.
This conference is clearly different from the previous ones.
Everything changed after the Central Town Conference announced last month that raiders could join Central Town. Coupled with the appearance of the Raider Killer, the raiders waiting outside were filled with anxiety, so by November, most of them had joined Central Town.
As for the rest, some simply didn't want to participate; they just wanted to live a life of constant danger and risk.
Some, fearing the loss of freedom after joining Central Town, simply disappeared. They never reappeared, returned to Central Town to exchange for the last batch of weapons, and then left to live elsewhere.
As for those who stayed in the central town, they were people who didn't want to live that kind of life anymore. These people all had blood on their hands, but that's normal. No one in this world is truly clean. I've killed quite a few people along the way.
I walked among the crowds in the central town.
Once the town's general meeting begins, the entire town becomes packed with people.
This is no exception nowadays.
Looking at the group of people around me, I actually hoped that I didn't have any grudges with the central town, but there was nothing I could do. Because of Zhang Jianzhou's matter, and Ye Cheng, and oh right, Zhou Liang, I was destined not to be able to stay here forever.
Someday in the future, I will definitely stand on the opposite side of the central town.
Perhaps that will be the day Zhou Liang takes control of the central town.
The town's central meeting started in the morning.
However, if Sister Jing and the others set off in the morning, they won't arrive until the afternoon at the earliest, so I'll wait here for them to arrive.
At noon, Ye Cheng came to ask again, anxiously inquiring, "How is it? Have Zhou Qingya and the others arrived yet?"
I glanced at him, shook my head, and said, "No, aren't your people watching at the door? If she were to come, wouldn't they notify you immediately? You should ask them, why are you asking me?"
Ye Cheng was taken aback, thought about it and realized that it made sense, then laughed and said, "I'm just in a hurry."
After saying that, he decisively turned and left.
Not long after he left, Zhou Liang appeared beside me, holding sunflower seeds in his hand, cracking them one by one, and then asked me, "I just saw Ye Cheng. What did he want with you? Did he see through you?"
I glanced at Zhou Liang; his grinning face was really annoying.
I sighed inwardly and asked, "What are you planning to do next? What's your plan?"
Zhou Liang looked at me and smiled, "What, do you want to know what I'm going to do next?"
"Yes, I want to know."
Zhou Liang said, "Let's do it this way. There's no rush. I don't have enough power right now, and it's not that easy to dismantle them. The most important thing right now is to do an investigation. Once I've figured out all the shady dealings, the plan will begin."
"What's going on?" I asked curiously.
Zhou Liang chuckled and said, "What else could it be but a secret? It's all about the relationships between those people. They're all from the same town, so why is Chen Tianqi the leader while the other three aren't? Don't you find that strange? Also, what's the relationship between the other three? Is it good or bad? Is it ambiguous or suspicious? These are all weapons! Young man, you should learn from them."
After he finished speaking, he ignored me and squeezed into the crowd outside to go have some fun by himself.
I arrived at a bar that was also packed with people. If Sister Jing and the others came, they would meet me here. I waited here so they could come over later.
...
And so, two hours later.
Sister Jing and the others have arrived.
When they arrived, they looked very serious. I saw that Sister Jing and Fei Lichao were there, but I didn't know why.
Jingjie came up to me and whispered, "Xiaonan, something's happened."
Upon hearing this, I frowned. Seeing their expressions, it seemed that something serious had indeed happened at the research institute; otherwise, Sister Jing and Fei Lichao wouldn't have come together.
"What happened?" I asked, puzzled.
