Survival in the dormitory, I was pulled into the management group

"Your question really stumped me. I don't quite understand. What kind of sky lanterns do you mean?" the driver asked puzzledly.

"It's the kind where you kill a person, then stick a wick into the belly of the corpse and burn the fat off the body bit by bit. This is called lighting a sky lantern." Chen Bei said.

"My dear, your statement is very scary. Do you have any deep hatred that you want to burn a sky lantern after death?"

"Yes, that's right. Think about it in terms of deep hatred. Is there anyone in this town who you think deserves to be burned to death?"

"I understand what you mean. Let me think about it..."

The driver slowed down his cart and seemed to be really thinking about it.

After a moment, he continued, "I'm an honest man and I don't have any enemies. If you really want me to name someone who deserves to be set on fire, I can think of one, but I don't dare to say it..."

"parking!"

"what?"

"I told you to stop the car."

"Oh...right away."

The driver stopped and looked back at Chen Bei with beads of sweat on his face.

Chen Bei took out a wad of money, stuffed it into the driver's pocket, and said in a low voice, "Tell the person in your heart quietly. God, the earth, you and I know it. It won't cause you any trouble. Just tell me."

"Oh, my! I don't dare to take so much money. This money is enough to take you to Peking." The driver declined.

Chen Bei forced it on the other party, forcing him to continue.

The driver had no choice but to look around and then lower his voice and say a name.

"Mayor Tiger! The locals call him 'Man-eating Tiger' and hate him to the core!"

"Why do you hate him?" Chen Bei asked.

"Chief Hu secretly engaged in the opium reselling business, and all the money he made was dirty. He also colluded with the warlords and harmed many decent women in the town. There are so many similar bad things that I can't finish talking about them in a day and a night. Anyway, everyone in the town hates him. My words alone don't count, you can go and ask others and you will know whether what I said is right or not."

"I see."

Chen Bei actually asked about a goal.

This Tiger Town Mayor is most likely the person who meets the requirements for lighting the sky lantern.

Chen Bei simply got off the car here and asked people on the street about the situation of Mayor Hu.

It was exactly the same as what the driver said.

Mayor Hu is a descendant of a prominent family. His ancestors left behind a solid foundation that allowed him to become the mayor.

It is said that he attached himself to a certain powerful official and helped him transport and sell opium, making dirty money even in this chaotic world.

Such a person is rich, powerful and influential. He is like a local tyrant in the local area. Naturally, he does a lot of bad things in his daily life.

He had more than a dozen concubines, many of whom were taken by force.

Once, in order to rob a married woman, he even schemed to kill the woman's husband and falsely accused the husband of being a bandit.

Chen Bei only asked about part of the story and didn't go into it any further.

This information is enough.

Just when Chen Bei was about to share the information with the player group, another player spoke first, and what he mentioned was exactly what Chen Bei was about to say.

Notorious local tyrants like Mayor Hu have long been the subject of complaints in the local area, and rumors about them can be heard everywhere.

So Mayor Tiger became the next target of many players!

After further investigation.

Mayor Hu usually stays in his own mansion and seldom goes out.

The mayor's mansion is heavily guarded.

Whenever Mayor Hu goes out, he always brings a guard team with him, plus two very capable bodyguards.

It will definitely not be easy to get rid of this tiger mayor.

I also got a piece of news.

It is said that Mayor Hu is packing up his belongings and planning to leave Jingtai Town and seek another way to make a living elsewhere.

After all, the battle line is advancing towards this side, and there is a risk of destruction at any time.

T00 sent people to sneak into the mayor's mansion to spy on the situation, and also gathered a group of players together to stand by.

There is not much time left for players and it cannot be wasted. Now that the target has been locked, it is necessary to act as soon as possible.

Players learned through spying that Mayor Hu quietly left that evening, packed up all the gold, silver, valuables and people's money, and streamlined the staff.

As for the specific departure route, it is unknown.

There are several roads out of Jingtai Town, and it depends on which one Mayor Hu chooses.

-

As time goes by, it gets darker.

T00 did not specifically ask Chen Bei to join the team to kill Mayor Hu, but Chen Bei took action anyway.

Chen Bei and Xue Jian ambushed near the mayor's mansion.

Anyway, the goal is the same, so when necessary, we will take action.

As for the previous conflict, it has been put aside for the time being. Anyway, T00 doesn't dare to touch him.

"The other players are lying in ambush not far away." Xuejian whispered.

"They are them, we are us, and we are all busy with our own things." Chen Bei said.

"I don't know how long the ambush will last."

"It's easier to get things done on a dark and windy night. Some people have to wait."

"Want some crushed ice?"

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"Anyway, idle is idle."

"Then I want to eat..."

"Wait a moment."

Xuejian actually brought a bottle of dessert drink, and after using her ability to freeze it into ice, she crushed it into ice chips, which became crushed ice.

This freezing ability is sometimes really useful.

Chen Bei ate crushed ice and waited for several hours.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, there was finally movement in the mayor's mansion.

The back door was opened and a team came out.

These included two old-fashioned cars, four horse-drawn carriages, and a dozen individual cavalrymen on horseback.

The car was protected in the middle of the team, and the entire team broke the tranquility of the street, especially the noise made by the cars.

T00: [Everyone, pay attention, the target has started to move, and we have confirmed that Mayor Hu is in one of the cars. Don't take action for now, wait and see where they go, and then take action when you find a suitable position!]

T00 takes charge of the overall situation and speaks in the group.

A group of players remained dormant and followed the team in secret.

The situation in the town is complicated and it is not convenient to take action.

It would be more appropriate to do it halfway after leaving the town.

The player followed Mayor Tiger's team all the way out of the town and came to the main road.

T00 has been secretly deploying troops and has already sent some players to ambush in front of this road.

T00: [Halfway along this road, there is a big willow tree. That is where we will start. Wait for my command and stay calm!]

I watched Mayor Hu’s team move forward and arrive at the big willow tree.

T00: [Get started!]

At this order, the mines buried in the ground exploded, directly blowing the front half of the team to pieces.

boom! ! !

The flames rose up with smoke and then slowly fell down.

One horse was blown apart, with blood and internal organs splattered everywhere.

The casualties were also severe.

The two cars were also affected by the explosion. One car was overturned, and the other car braked suddenly and collided with the car in front.

The whole team was in chaos!
