Chapter 57: The factions of the government

 Lin Changqing didn't say much. It wasn't until lunch that he solemnly said to Ding Jingtang: "Inspector Ding, I am a lucky man born as a beggar. I am self-aware!"

"I know nothing about many things, and I can't compare with colleagues like you, Inspector Ding!"

"If I don't understand, I just don't understand. I can't pretend to understand and give blind orders!"

"In this investigation mission, I will listen to you, Inspector Ding!"

"We will check how you tell us to do it!"

Ding Jingtang was a little surprised that Lin Changqing, a young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, would say such things to him.

This world attaches great importance to family background. Even if most people are born as beggars, after they achieve something, they will basically not mention their family background.

Mentioning someone's humble background in person is the greatest insult to someone.

Ding Jingtang put down his bowl and chopsticks and said seriously: "Lin Xunjian, from your words, deeds, and popularity, I can see that your opportunity did not come out of thin air!"

"Because of this mission, I have read your information. Whether it is the favor of the middle and higher-ups in the gang, or the help of the nobles in the mission, it is the essence of you that they appreciate!"

"How many geniuses are there in the world? How many people can get the opportunity?"

"So, in the future, don't talk about your background and belittle yourself!"

"With your intelligence, you will soon get ahead!"

"This is your first time participating in a government mission. There may be some things that are not clear yet. The purpose of Shangguan sending me here is to help you deal with these problems!"

"This investigation mission is nominally focused on you!"

"You have to understand that there are also rivers and lakes in the government. Don't take it to heart when Kong inspects it!"

"My mission was assigned by a higher-level superior. What he said has no influence on me, and you should not be influenced by him either!"

Lin Changqing found that he seemed to be thinking too much and asked Ding Jingtang to relieve him.

Through Ding Jingtang's words, Lin Changqing found out that Ding Jingtang was the special commissioner of a senior county government official and was not the same as Kong Youhuai, who was responsible for the Nanshan Town incident.

Ding Jingtang said that the government is a world of rivers and lakes, and the description is indeed very apt. Lin Changqing could not figure out the complicated relationships in it for a while.

"Thank you Ding for your guidance!"

Lin Changqing sincerely thanked him, and his view of Ding Jingtang had changed somewhat.

------------------

After having lunch at the town government office in advance, Lin Changqing and Ding Jingtang set off with a hundred soldiers.

Lin Changqing finally got the intelligence summary of the entire Nanshan Town.

After some discussion, and at Ding Jingtang’s suggestion, we planned to start the investigation from the villages in the south where the corpse poison was the earliest and most serious.

Lin Changqing saw a very important piece of information, and found traces of zombie refinement among a large number of zombies infected and mutated by corpse poison.

There are refined zombies, which means there are people behind the scenes. The spread of corpse poison is likely to rely on these refined zombies.

As long as you can find a zombie refining place, with Xiaohu's ability, you will be able to find a zombie refining site, and you should be able to find something at the zombie refining site.

It is not easy to find zombies to refine. You can only try your luck in areas with the most zombies.

After leaving Nanshan Town, heading south, we soon encountered a wandering zombie.

These walking dead are also different from zombies in that they are not particularly afraid of light and can continue to move around during the day, but their activity levels are not as high as at night.

A small number of walking corpses are simply vulnerable. Kong Youhuai has sent many cleanup teams outside the town. Lin Changqing and his party ignored these wandering zombies.

As long as the walking corpses do not block the road or take the initiative to attack, Lin Changqing and the others will keep their heads down and rush on their way. The strength of these walking corpses is a matter of one blow to their team, and anyone who encounters them will be killed.

Until we got deep into the village, there were more walking corpses, and everyone had to take action together.

"Dingle bell!"

Lin Changqing was not idle either. He picked up the small bell and shook it gently. The clear ringing sounded, and the zombies who rushed towards him were stunned in place.

Ding Jingtang's soldiers stepped forward and easily chopped off the head of the walking corpse.

"Inspector Lin, your bell is really not simple!"

Ding Jingtang and his soldiers looked at the bell in Lin Changqing's hand with envy.

It was because of the little bell that Lin Changqing was forcibly assigned by the government to investigate the source of the corpse poison. The little bell was proof that there was indeed a powerful monk behind him. If he didn't use it, others would still be suspicious.

People in this world are not stupid. Lin Changqing can fabricate backgrounds by relying on broken nets that others cannot understand and powerful pets captured by broken nets.

Without the support of a golden finger, even if he is as smart as a demon, he would not be able to fabricate a bluffing background.

Lin Changqing took out a small bell and tried his skills for the first time. The views of Ding Jingtang's soldiers changed towards him, and they no longer had any grudge against Ding Jingtang for helping him in name.

"That's the mastery of senior's refining methods!"

Lin Changqing just right praised the non-existent senior, as if he was praising him for breaking the net in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"In addition to immobilizing these zombies, is there any way to control them?"

Ding Jingtang continued to ask, in order to better complete the task, he needs to understand Xiao Lingdang's abilities.

"They can be controlled, but I am using my soul power to control them, which is not helpful for the investigation mission."

"These zombies are too weak. Controlling them is of little use. It will only consume the power of my soul."

Lin Changqing changed his words and explained to Ding Jingtang.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to control them!"

"Inspector Lin, the skills you practice should be extremely advanced. I didn't expect that with your current strength, you can use the power of the soul!"

Ding Jingtang's envy of Lin Changqing is unabashed.

"This is a technique left behind by the noble person's initiation and transmission. With the noble person's power guiding me to practice, I can only understand it, not explain it in words!"

"What kind of skill is this? Due to my lack of knowledge, I still can't figure it out!"

Lin Changqing came up with the rhetoric he had already thought of.

He intentionally spread this information.

"Initiation and teaching, power guidance, these are all legendary things. I never thought that I would encounter real people in this life!"

Ding Jingtang couldn't help but sigh.

The two walked and chatted, passing through villages, but found no trace of the zombies being refined.

A small number of survivors in these villages have been rescued and resettled in Nanshan Town. There is no living person in the villages, only zombies and various animals.

With the help of the little bell, the group easily arrived at the largest village in the south of Nanshan Town.

"No refined zombies were found along the way. This may be because the refined zombies are afraid of light. They do not come out and move around during the day."

"This village has the most walking zombies, and is most likely to be hiding refined zombies!"

"Let's clean up the village first and spend the night here, Inspector Lin, what do you think?"
