Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 1043 Changes in Qingcheng

"It's a 'king candidate'."

At this moment, Su Meiqin came over and said: "These days the new ones flooding into Qingcheng are not only the ordinary survivors, but also the hidden candidates for the king have become active one after another."

"It's them……"

Kong Zhe nodded.

Indeed, after the announcement of the global announcement, ordinary awakened people may still hesitate to take risks, but the candidate for the king will not have too many worries. The news of the king is to the candidate for the king, just like the attraction of a magnet to metal , as long as they get the news of the king, they will definitely come to him on a large scale.

"How is it, nothing happened to our people?" Kong Zhe asked.

Lin Muxue shook her head, smiled at Kong Zhe and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry. These are just low-level means, and they won't affect us."

As she said that, she hugged Lily who was hanging on Kong Zhe: "Thanks to Lily's foresight, it saved us a lot of trouble. After we caught and punished some of the most troublesome king candidates, the other People have also calmed down a lot, and no one has launched an attack in the past two days."

"That's right! Thanks to me!"

Lily nodded again and again with a happy smile, and looked at Kong Zhe proudly, her expression was clearly saying: Why don't you come and praise me?
"Well done, Lily!"

Kong Zhe also touched her head without hesitation, and praised her.

"Hey..." Lily felt satisfied, and laughed while hanging on her brother's arm to swing.

But immediately, she noticed that there was a small figure hiding behind Kong Zhe, peeping out her head and staring at her quietly.

"Huh? Who is this child?"

Lily wondered.

"By the way, let me introduce to you..."

Kong Zhe stepped aside, revealed Xue Li who was holding onto the hem of his clothes behind him, and introduced to others: "This is Xue Li, the owner of Pisces City, also the king of Pisces."

"Little girl, we meet again!"

Su Meiqin greeted Shirley with a smile.Su Meiqin had seen Xue Li's shadow in the king's space, and she recognized her immediately at this time, because the two very distinctive croiss braids on Xue Li's head were so easy to identify.

Xueli was still a little nervous being watched by so many people at once. Seeing someone talking at this moment, she immediately bowed to Su Meiqin rather cautiously: "Hi, hello, hello..."

As for the others, since they didn't know that the Pisces King was such a child, they were all looking at Xue Li curiously at the moment, thinking to themselves, what is so outstanding about this little girl that she can actually suppress her? Many adults have ascended to the sky and become kings in one step.

"Huh? Is she the king?"

Lili covered her mouth in surprise, stared at Xueli for a few moments, then raised her head and looked at Kong Zhe in puzzlement: "Brother, can a child be a king?"

"Of course, there is no fixed age for being a king. Anyone can be a king as long as they are capable." Kong Zhe said with a smile.

"Okay, don't stand still, go in and talk about anything."

It was Lin Muxue who smiled and pointed to the castle hall beside her.

She had noticed a long time ago that among the people who came back this time, there were a few more people she didn't know, and three of them were of the same blood clan as Kong Zhe. Judging by their positions, they must have a lot of relationship with Kong Zhe .

In any case, the visitor is a guest, and Lin Muxue has also adapted to the role of the hostess of Aries City these days, so of course she must invite everyone into the house to sit down at this time.

Everyone walked towards the castle hall together.

On the way, Lily leaned against Kong Zhe, secretly staring at Shirley behind her, and asked Kong Zhe furtively: "Brother, this child looks dumb, is she really that powerful?"

In her impression, to become a king, one must have at least the same strength as her brother, but Kong Zhe's strength is omnipotent in her mind.

And the little girl in front of her, who was shorter than her, looked weak no matter what she looked at, and seemed to be more timid than her.Such a child really has the strength of a king?

"What are you doubting? Shirley is very powerful." Kong Zhe said with a wry smile.

"sharp?"

Perhaps it was because hearing her brother praise other little girls made Lily feel a little uncomfortable. She puffed her mouth, pestered Kong Zhe, pointed to herself and asked: "What about me? I, I am also very good! I still Can prophesy! Can she prophesy?"

"That would not be..."

"Ha, sure enough not..."

Kong Zhe shook his head amusedly, and said, "She doesn't know how to predict, but she can lift a mountain with bare hands."

"Ugh?"

Lily hesitated when she heard the words.After being dazed for a few seconds, she rolled her eyes and weighed things up in her heart. Finally, she lowered her head with some guilt, and muttered reluctantly: "I can lift mountains...that...that's still It's amazing..."

"Hey, why are you so cowardly?"

"That's right! I can't lift a mountain, can't she know how to prophesy? Well, at most it's just a tie..."

"Okay, whatever you say is what..."

……

Ten minutes later, in the meeting room temporarily set up in Baiyang Castle, everyone sat down one by one. A lady officer from the military was in front of Kong Zhe, reporting the news to him during this period of time.

"...According to statistics, since the establishment of the border line, nearly 50.00 new people have poured into Qingcheng. Among them, awakened people accounted for 60.00%70.00, men accounted for [-]%[-], and young and middle-aged adults accounted for as high as [-]% ..."

Kong Zhe was not surprised by such data.

After all, it is impossible to break through the blockade of monsters all the way to Qingcheng without a certain strength.

What's more, the global announcement has only been issued for a few days, and those who can rush to Qingcheng in such a short period of time must be the most outstanding group of people near Qingcheng.If it were other ordinary people, or old and young, women and children, even if they really had the ability to come, they would have to spend a lot of time on the road.

"...The candidates for the king have been very active during this period of time. They have launched many malicious attacks against the king, causing many innocent people to be injured... Our military, together with Feixue and the Scorpio clan, have launched a series of vicious attacks on the candidates for the king. A large-scale tracking has been carried out. The identities have been confirmed and the number of candidates for the king successfully marked is 253 in total, and the total number of candidates for the king who flooded into Qingcheng is estimated to be more than [-]..."

"...The resettlement of the new arrivals is already in progress, and the buildings and population of the original Qingcheng are also moving southward. According to estimates, the commercial and population centers of the new Qingcheng will be gradually relocated within a month. to the midpoint of the new frontier."

The female officer solemnly read out the contents of the notebook in her hand, and Kong Zhe could only listen to it one by one.Although he is not interested in these things at all, but he is in this position after all, so it is necessary to know more or less.

"...In addition, a malicious arson accident occurred yesterday in an abandoned factory building in the south of the city. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, the suspect had already fled when we arrived. After investigation, it seems that the criminal's purpose was only to They robbed some property, and we found no traces of flammable substances such as gasoline at the scene, which means that the prisoner did not use ordinary means to set the fire..."

"Oh? In other words, it's magic?"

This piece of news caught Kong Zhe's attention.Since it was not an ordinary method, the ones who set the fire could only be the awakened ones. However, the awakened ones should not be short of money. How could they set fires with such fanfare just for the sake of robbery?

At this time, Su Meiqin suddenly smiled meaningfully: "What's interesting is that when my team members went to the scene to investigate yesterday, they didn't detect any magical breath there."

"No magic?"

Kong Zhe frowned, looked at Su Meiqin with a strange expression, and cast her a questioning look.

It is not arson by ordinary means, and it is not magic, so there is only one possibility - super power!

In Qingcheng, the superpowers with flame ability can easily be associated with one person, no, it should be said to be a group of people: Scorpio.

Lin Ze's kingly power is to control flames, and every member of the Scorpio clan under him is also a master of setting fires.Could it be that the arsonist was from Scorpio?
Su Meiqin naturally knew what he was thinking, and shook her head directly at this moment: "We have already confirmed this point, and people in Scorpio can rule out the suspicion."

"so……"

Kong Zhe couldn't help rubbing his chin. He didn't ask how to eliminate it. Su Meiqin and the others must have their own way of doing things. What's more, the Scorpio family really didn't have the motivation to do this kind of thing. They didn't do this. On the contrary, it is more reasonable.

However, things are interesting in this way, the superpower who can set fire is not a Scorpio.Could it be... is it the Sun Temple's fault again?

It's just that the Temple of the Sun has been reduced to the point where it has to rely on this kind of petty theft to make a living?
"In short, the military will continue to investigate this matter until the investigation is clear..."

The female officer sighed and assured everyone.Immediately, she glanced at Shirley next to Kong Zhe.At this moment, Shirley is raising her little hand, secretly stuffing pastries into her mouth.

This little girl has never eaten delicious food in her life. The snacks that Kong Zhe brought her were already extremely delicious in her opinion. She never thought that the pastries that are placed everywhere in Baiyang City today are even more delicious than those snacks. !Shirley took a sip and never stopped.

"Miss Shirley, your status as king has been confirmed, and the military will arrange for you to be an official member of parliament as soon as possible, but I don't know, where are you going to stop the City of Pisces next?"

The female officer saluted Shirley, and said formally: "The result of the discussion by the Senate is to let Pisces City temporarily go to the east of the city to replace the left Twin City. What do you think?"
