Chapter 302 Competition
324 chapter

Meng Huo's message to Su Tang was actually somewhat reserved.

The truth is much more troublesome than this!
According to the guards, Qiao Li did die, but someone took advantage of the time when all parties reported the news and took away Qiao Li's body.

What's even more troublesome is that Zhang Chenxi disappeared after fighting the opponent!
This situation made Meng Huo very angry, and immediately sent his own people to look around.

His identity has been made public, and he is quite close to the old man of the Wu family.

You know everything you need to know in the southern city.

Everyone is clear in their hearts.

The reason why the Wu family took the initiative to break the deadlock and proposed to send troops to fight against the zombies was definitely contributed by Meng Huo.

Although some people are not so sure about his background, they will definitely not hinder him in finding someone, so most of them are still willing to provide him with convenience.

In addition, Pang Qihui also sent his men to help and blocked some suspicious areas.

Unfortunately, nothing has been found so far.

Because of this, Pang Qihui specially came to see him, "I didn't expect such an accident, I made it up, thinking that the other party would not dare to do anything in the mansion."

Meng Huo's sharp eyes swept towards him.

"I'm just guessing..." Pang Qihui sighed slightly.

Meng Huo snorted coldly, but didn't answer.

Seeing this, Pang Qihui didn't say any more, and quickly took his leave and left.

Not long after he left, Kong Cheng came. He consciously sat in the same boat with Meng Huo, and spoke more directly, "Could it be the Wu family who did the city lord?"

Meng Huo glanced at him, noncommittal.

What Kong Cheng suspected was not only the theft of Qiao Li's body, but also the cause of Qiao Li's death.

He and Pang Minghui had the same guess.

Indeed, many clues point to the Wu family.

For example, two days ago, the legendary monster suddenly appeared in the factory area, destroying a lot of equipment and injuring many people, and those in charge of guarding that area were the children of the Fang family in the army.

Whether it was intentional or a coincidence is still uncertain.

But it was a fact that the monster escaped again.

That Fang family boy was at least charged with dereliction of duty.

Substitution is certain.

It is the Wu family who are temporarily borrowing his position.

For another example, when those people robbed Qiao Li's body, the Wu family's guards were not there, and they arrived late after Zhang Chenxi disappeared with the body.Although they can all tell their reasons, who has no doubts in their hearts?
Also, after the incident, the Wu family jumped up and down too aggressively, which gave people a bad association.

Some of these little things are obvious, some are obscure, but everything points to the Wu family.

But it was because of this that Meng Huo had other ideas.

Seeing that he was silent, Kong Cheng couldn't help but ponder in his heart. After getting along with him these days, he also knew that Meng Huo was not the kind of person who would not dare to speak out because of the power of the Wu family.If he really suspected that the Wu family took him captive, he wouldn't take no action against the Wu family.

"...Could it be the Fang family? But it doesn't look like it. The Fang family is relatively stable. It has been standing still before, and there is no reason for the sudden change of style." Kong Cheng muttered.

Meng Huo didn't want to continue this kind of meaningless speculation, and then changed the topic, "Qiao Li is dead, is there anyone to choose for the next city lord?"

When this was mentioned, Kong Cheng could only smile wryly.

How could no one choose?
The Wu family pushed two at once, the Fang family pushed one, and Mr. Cheng was about to move, including the five ministers in the government.Even he, although he didn't mean it himself, but the people under his command came up with suggestions one after another, all of them wanting him to win.

Power is too tempting!
Seeing his embarrassment, Meng Huo smiled playfully.

"If you want to take this seat..."

"No!" Kong Cheng interrupted him without hesitation, "I'm not suitable, I don't have that strength." No matter how you look at it, a sixth-level water-type supernatural user won't be able to convince the crowd even if he takes that position.

Meng Huo sneered, "This is not a martial arts competition. Does winning everyone make him fit to be a city lord?"

To be the lord of a city, one needs management skills.

Kong Cheng has always performed well.

Especially after Qiao Li fell into a coma, he took on a big responsibility and was in the cracks of various forces, but he was still able to appease the residents in the city and ensure the normal operation of all factories.When he learned that Meng Huo was going to send troops to the Huaihai base, he tried his best to help.

In Meng Huo's opinion, he is better than others as a city lord.

Kong Cheng was silent for a long time before he said, "Although the Wu family and I have grudges, it's not enough to be immortal."

So far, he has only suppressed the Wu family.

But once he has the intention to be the city lord, the situation will change fundamentally.

The Wu family must oppose it to the end, and he can only choose to completely remove this obstacle...

"Being the lord of the city requires more decisiveness. I can't do it." Kong Cheng did not shy away from his weaknesses.

Meng Huo showed some appreciation in his eyes.

It's rare to be able to stay awake at a time like this.

Of course, on the other hand, Kong Cheng did lack that leadership.

From the perspective of the future of the southern city, it is indeed better for him to be the deputy city lord than the city lord, but from the perspective of the bloody base, it is not so good.

If he doesn't do it, someone else will.

And it's hard to say what attitude this other person has towards the bloody base.

Meng Huo stroked his chin and began to think about other suitable candidates.

At this time, Kong Cheng suddenly said, "Didn't you want to come and be the lord of this southern city?"

Meng Huo slowly raised his head.

His eyes were calm, but it gave Kong Cheng a chill on the back of his neck. He quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm not trying to test you, but I really think so!"

"When I met you before, I thought it was too much of a talent for you to stay in the hunting team!"

"It can be seen that you have a considerable position in Xueluo Base, but you are not the base leader after all... Although Zhang Chenxi is getting along well with you now, it has been a long time, and she may not have no ideas."

"The ancients said that you have a high level of merit. You should make a plan early instead of getting to that point in the future. Now is a good opportunity. Even though you have left the southern city for a few years, you still have a lot of prestige in the hunting team. As long as you Interested, I believe many people are willing to vote for you."

"You are highly valued by Mr. Wu again. Even if he didn't stand on your side because of the Wu family, he probably wouldn't object."

"As for the others... you rescued Miss Qiao Er, Pang Qihui should be able to win over. The military has him, and the government has me to help. What's more, you are now a ninth-level supernatural being, and your strength is beyond doubt. Overall That being said, the chances of winning are still great!"

"what do you think?"

Meng Huo looked at him who was full of expectation, and said very simply, "It's not good."

Kong Cheng frowned, "Why?"

"trouble!"

Kong Cheng, "..."

Trouble is certain.

Even if Meng Huo has several parties to support him, there will inevitably be those who oppose him.

For example, those four families all have plans, so naturally they don't want an airborne outsider to take the lead.It's not just opposition, it's normal for them to die.

So many people must not be able to kill all of them. It is not an easy task to get it done.

Even for him, if he wants to be the city lord, it will take a year or two to concentrate and stabilize his power.

But what about being a city lord?

Internally, he is responsible for the residents' eating, drinking, sleeping, and externally exterminating zombies. The dead city is much smaller than here, and Xu Siliu and the others are as tired as a dog. He is also responsible for Baile City's affairs... how much does it cost Time and energy!

How dare he!
In the bloody base, Su Tang and the little guy in her belly were still waiting for him.

At that time, he would rather spend more time with them than fight with those people here!
After being rejected by him, Kong Cheng still did not give up.After persuading him for a while, seeing that he was completely unmoved, he left in frustration.

After he left, Meng Huo forgot about it and only focused on finding Zhang Chenxi.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, rumors suddenly spread outside that he not only wanted to settle in Nanfang City, but also planned to reorganize the hunting team.

It's a lot of fun now.

Many people with supernatural powers in the city came to him.

After his identity was disclosed before, his whereabouts were not deliberately concealed.

The place where I live now is the house that my subordinates rented early in the morning, and it is not difficult to find.

Some of these supernatural beings were acquainted by Meng Huo before, and some of them became famous only in recent years. Some of them made it clear, some of them hinted that they wanted to take refuge in him.Even going in and out of the door can have a chance encounter, which annoys Meng Huo very much.

However, considering that Xueluo had always planned to recruit people, he still selectively selected some people to explain the real situation and made a cryptic invitation.

Unexpectedly, most people don't believe it.

They think that he has no reason to keep a base as big as Nanfang City not to develop here, but he has to give in to a small base that he didn't build. They even think that he is covering up something.

So, when he was upset about the delay in finding Zhang Chenxi, his subordinates sent another message.

The rumors outside have been "upgraded".

People said that he stayed in the southern city not to re-establish the hunting team, but to be the lord of the southern city!

Even Pang Qihui came to him and said, "It would be great if you were the lord of the city."

Kong Cheng was quite nervous, and came to explain several times, saying that this was definitely not his trick.

As soon as this rumor came out, the four families headed by the Wu family, including some other forces that had ideas about the city lord, became uneasy.

In fact, before this, they thought Meng Huo was a very threatening figure.

But at that time, Qiao Li was not dead yet.

And their fight has not yet reached a fever pitch.

It's different now.

A few days after the rumors came out, Meng Huo found out that he was being targeted by several groups of people.

Most of them are not sure about his power level, but this does not prevent them from knowing that he is very strong!Therefore, those lurking people just followed him and did not make any more moves.

But this has already affected Meng Huo's actions.

He sneered and said to Kong Cheng, "Someone wants to put me on fire!"

Kong Cheng thinks so.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that these rumors must be guided by someone behind the scenes, and the purpose is just to focus people's attention on Meng Huo.

Regardless of whether he intends to be the lord of the southern city or not, he has become a target of fire!
"Whoever it is is going to pay for it."

The day after he said this, Meng Huo used thunderous tactics to deal with a group of people who were following him.

Of course, he wouldn't kill these people, even though he wanted to.

But in this way, it is obvious that he will create a group of enemies for himself at once.

So, he just set up a trap to capture everyone, and then knocked them unconscious and threw them on the big square in the city.More than a dozen people were slightly injured, and all of them had their own blood taken, and big exclamation marks were drawn on their backs.

This happened in the early hours of the morning.

So, before these unlucky ones woke up, they were surrounded by countless people...

The neat dozen or so fruit bodies are quite shocking, not to mention the bloody symbols on their backs.

The Wu family, the Fang family and other different people knew about it one after another.

My heart is full of chills.

Outsiders don't know, they understand it themselves.

Here are their people.

This time, the people they sent were the best at tracking in the family, and their attack power was not bad.

Who would have thought that they were all taken away!
And the reason why Meng Huo did this with great fanfare was to warn them!

While they were planning their own countermeasures, Meng Huo was summoned by Mr. Wu.

"When will you arrange for me to leave?" Wu Feixue forced herself to restrain her impatience and asked.

Meng Huo said slowly, "After the city ban is lifted, I remember I said it."

"But……"

"What, are you afraid?"

Wu Feixue pursed her lower lip hard.

Of course she was afraid.

Wu Qiming has been here twice recently, and they are all asking about Meng Huo and his position.

This made her have to think more.

Could it be that Meng Huo is really planning to be the lord of the southern city?

How long will she have to wait?
No one can guarantee that there will be no accidents during this period.

Once the disguise is seen through, it will be all over for her!

Meng Huo glanced at her.

Because he thought she might be useful, he actually sent someone here to protect her secretly.However, he wasn't going to tell her.Instead, he said, "If you are really afraid, you should retreat."

While Wu Feixue was still hesitating, Meng Huo had already stood up, "The independent house in the backyard is not bad. You just have to stay behind closed doors, and someone will deliver food and water regularly. As long as you don't do unnecessary things, I promised will definitely do it.”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.

Wu Feixue watched his back disappear in a daze, and after a long time, she turned her head and bowed her head.

Every time I see him, he is always so confident, as if nothing can trouble him!

In fact, she sneaked out when she didn't need to play the role of grandpa.

She knows something about the outside world.

For example, those rumors, such as the nudity incident in the square... When she heard about it, she subconsciously thought it was his handwriting.

These famous powers from the forces in the southern city, when she heard her grandfather talking to himself, said that they all lack courage. Once a major event happens in the southern city, it may be difficult for them to support them!

Before, she didn't know why.

But when her grandfather had a problem in his cultivation and passed away without a sound, she had to change into his grandfather's appearance to deal with it, and she found that his grandfather was right.

Sending troops to exterminate the zombies is the best proof!

If there is anyone who can support the future of Nanfang City, she thinks that only the man named Meng Huo who just left!
How wonderful it would be if they didn't meet in this situation!

For Meng Huo, the matter of Wu Feixue was just a small episode.

Even those rumors outside are not a big problem.

The most important thing right now is that he can't find Zhang Chenxi's whereabouts!
"Boss, has he already..."

"No." Meng Huo's opponent denied it.

Although there is no clue yet, he doesn't think Zhang Chenxi is dead.That guy's brain is very easy to use, how could he be killed so easily!
The other party must have deliberately lured him away...

Otherwise, he was not the only one present at that time, so why did he disappear?

The living Qiao Li has nothing to do with him, let alone the corpse, in his mind, he will chase after the other party because of a corpse, and even hit him?
Must be impossible!
Therefore, there must be another reason for his disappearance.

And the other party's effort to get him away must not just want to kill him.

Meng Huo leaned back on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief.

Outside the city, the army in the southern city has already encountered the group of zombies, and the two sides are fighting.As for the inside of the city, the atmosphere among these people is becoming more and more tense. Presumably, it is time to have a result...

If everything else was settled and he still couldn't find Zhang Chenxi or the other party didn't show up, then he really didn't know how to go back and face Su Tang.

She must be sad.

Moreover, Zhang Chenxi is Xueluo's base chief after all, if he disappears, the burden will fall on Su Tang!
Thinking of these two results, Meng Huo felt very uncomfortable!

It seemed that he had to make a big move.

Even if it will seriously offend some people, I can't care less!
He thought so, however, before he could make arrangements, a message came from Kongcheng, saying that several families headed by the Wu family, together with Mr. Cheng, requested to hold a non-public city lord election to compete for the position of the city lord.

The time began at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, and he asked him to be there.

Meng Huo agreed without thinking too long.

If Kong Cheng changed his mind, he would give him a push. If not, he decided to help the Fang family once.

In any case, compared to Wu's family, the Fang family's food looks much better!

He arrived on time at the top floor of the government office building at nine o'clock the next day.

This is a small meeting room, which can accommodate more than 20 people, but only about [-] people were actually present.

Meng Huo knew most of them.

Even if he doesn't know each other, he can quickly guess the identity of the other party.

The parents of Wu, Kong, Fang, and Zhang, the two division commanders and deputy division commanders of the Alien Army, the five government ministers, Kong Cheng, and their respective assistants.

That's all there is to it...

When Meng Huo glanced over a corner, he paused slightly.

Under his indifferent gaze, Qiao Mingxi walked slowly from there.

She took the initiative to explain to him, "Deputy City Lord Kong invited me to come. He said that I am the younger sister of the previous City Lord and the only surviving member of the Qiao family. You can come and watch."

Meng Huo let out a "hmm" and didn't say any more. He rejected Kong Cheng's proposal to invite him to the first row of the discussion table, and was about to make him give up completely. He randomly chose a chair placed by the side of the wall and sat down.

Qiao Mingxi hesitated for a moment, but chose an empty seat that was two chairs away from him.

The others also sat down one after another, with Kong Cheng in the main seat.

The election is about to begin.
