There is still a week before the New Year's Eve, that is, the opening of the finals.
The latest opinion polls show that the support rates of the two mayoral candidates are almost the same.
Romance Xiao Ming has been training behind closed doors and has not participated in Rose's campaign work, but he is well aware of the dynamics of the election because Rose will take time to come over every day to care about his training and discuss the election with him.
Rose's campaign team is very simple.
The webmaster is behind the scenes, the fat boss is responsible for grassroots propaganda, and Xiao Ming can also come up with ideas.
At present, the news coming from within the security team is that the North and South teams support Rose, and the West and East teams support Hu Wei.
There is also a tie between North and South and East and West.
As for the local forces in villages and towns that did not participate in the referendum, such as Dasha Village and Houtou Town, although they each supported one side, they had little impact on the election.
Now, there is only one important external power smuggling ship left that can affect the election trend.
But Captain Sophie made it clear that she remained neutral and, as a notary, supervised the election.
Once one party was found to have cheated, she would join forces with the other party to disqualify the cheater.
However, there is another x factor that can change the outcome of the election, that is, as long as Xiao Ming wins the championship in the finals, as his wife, Rose will be elected mayor almost without any doubt.
On the contrary, Hu Wei wins the election.
Since the establishment of the Nuclear Corpse Challenge Competition, this is the first time that such a situation has occurred.
The result of a competition can change the future of a city, and Xiao Ming, unfortunately, became the x player.
The campaign teams of both parties also realized this, and they all stopped as the finals approached, giving way to campaign advertisements to game previews.
Instead of the two candidates appearing on the electronic screen, there were three finalists.
Rose's camp can be said to be fighting on two fronts, because she and the webmaster are also responsible for the finals, while Xiao Ming has the heaviest burden and will decide the outcome in one battle.
But Xiao Ming himself is also in crisis.
He doesn't know what Hu Weiyang will do in the finals, and he doesn't know whether this is considered fraud.
Although the finals are not part of the election, it is enough to affect the outcome of the election.
He hopes that Rose and the webmaster can control the finals, but as the old saying goes, there will be a gap in every hundred meters.
What's more, he didn't believe the webmaster.
Xiao Ming once wanted to remind Rose of the hostility of the webmaster towards him, but after much thought, he still did not say it out loud.
In the face of a powerful enemy, it was not the time for internal strife.
Moreover, he also analyzed that the webmaster would not harm him before the election.
In the current situation, he and Rose are both prospering and losing.
Although the external environment is uncertain, fortunately, Xiao Ming's internal functions have gradually returned to the state when Qin Wu trained him, and he is confident to cope with the worst challenges.
In such a troubled year, the black market, which has been cold for ten years, is showing unprecedented prosperity.
Only a few people who know the inside story understand the crisis beneath the surface excitement.
Romance After completing a day's training, Xiao Ming stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of Room 800, looking worriedly at the night scene outside.
The black market with flickering lights was like an isolated island swaying in the sea, which could be swallowed up by the boundless darkness at any time, just like the fate of hundreds of thousands of survivors.
On the big bed behind him, there is a set of gleaming golden armor.
It is a uniform sent by the competition staff.
He will wear it to attend the float parade to be held tomorrow.
He feels like an opera singer.
Xiao Ming sighed, what is the difference between players and actors?
Perhaps the only difference is that actors use their lives to act, while players use their lives to fight.
"Sir, we have something to discuss."
The fat boss walked in with a solemn expression, wearing an advertising suit with a rose election slogan printed on it.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing him like this, Xiao Ming knew that this matter was not trivial.
The fat boss closed the door, turned on the electronic screen, played a set of song and dance programs, and took adequate measures to prevent eavesdropping.
He and Xiao Ming sat in front of the bar, and amidst the noisy singing, they talked in a voice that only each other could hear.
"Have you heard the allusion of two bullets?"

asked the fat boss.
"I haven't heard of it, tell me quickly."
Xiao Ming was not in the mood to beat around the bush.
"It was a long time ago, before unification, when a province held a presidential election and one of the parties was about to lose, so they thought of a big reversal plan."
The fat boss told the story of two bullets, and the result was natural It was the election results that changed.
"No way, I don't agree if Rose needs to be shot with two bullets."
Xiao Ming firmly objected.
Just like a husband who loves his wife, of course he can't let Rose take such a big risk.
This is his promise to the old lady.
"It's not Miss."
The fat boss shook his head, stretched out his finger in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and nodded slightly, "Yes."
"It's me."
Xiao Ming looked surprised and stretched out his finger to point his nose.
"Yes, what do you think?"
The fat boss stood up and prepared to persuade Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming rolled his eyes and analyzed: "If you assassinate me, others will definitely think that it was Hu Weiyang.
In this way, playing the tragedy card, Rose's chance of winning will naturally increase.
I was injured, even if I can't win the championship, for me The influence of roses won’t be too great, right?”
"Master, you are really smart.
You can make a point."
The fat boss gave a thumbs up.
"Don't worry, it will never hurt your life.
We have already found a sharpshooter who will shoot you in the shoulder.
Moreover, the eldest lady also As I said, you were injured and you were able to withdraw from the game, and no one said anything to you.
It was like killing two birds with one stone."
"This is a great idea, who came up with it?"
Xiao Ming expressed admiration and asked thoughtfully.
"Of course it's the webmaster.
Who else could it be besides him?"
The fat boss had no doubts about him.
"Almost all the ideas for the election came from the webmaster."
"Sure enough, it kills two birds with one stone."
Xiao Ming confirmed his judgment and sneered in his heart.
It really killed two birds with one stone, but not for Rose, but for the webmaster.
Xiao Ming originally thought about whether there was a way to help Rose and hurt him from the perspective of the webmaster.
He really didn't expect it.
He didn't expect the webmaster to think of it.
Since it was the stationmaster's idea, the fake assassination might turn out to be a real assassination.
I'm afraid that the shot would not have hit his shoulder, but his head or heart.
"Master Gu, since you understand so well, it's no problem, right?"
The fat boss was relieved.
He thought he would have to spend a lot of time talking.
"Tell Rose, I'm fine."
Xiao Ming, feeling like he was being attacked from behind, threw himself on the bed and issued an eviction order, "Little Fatty, I'm a little tired."
As soon as the fat boss left, Xiao Ming sat up and thought about countermeasures nervously.

Of course he doesn't want to be this target, but if he refuses, I'm afraid the webmaster will have some tricks.
At least, although tomorrow will be an assassination, it will be clear to him.
Moreover, if he was really shot and survived, it would certainly be of great help to Rose.
It would also give him a good opportunity to fulfill his promise to the old lady and repay her kindness to her grandparents.
In the future, when he takes Wanrui sisters away, Rose won't resent him too much.
Of course he will not quit the game.
As long as the effect of this shot is achieved, it will virtually reduce his pressure in the finals.
The webmaster has done him a big favor.
Xiao Ming is used to running in danger, but this time he is forced to do so.
Since he knows that someone will assassinate him tomorrow, he must be fully prepared now.
He picked up the suit of armor and weighed it.
The clothes were decorated with metal sheets.
They were thin and could not stop bullets.
However, the helmet was a genuine steel helmet, with just a layer of gold coating on the surface and some modifications.
The protection of the head has been solved, and then the body, it would be nice to have a body armor.
His eyes fell on the stainless steel tray on the bar, and his eyes lit up.
The next morning, in the black market, gongs and drums were noisy, colorful flags were fluttering, and it felt like celebrating the New Year in advance.
Three open-top jeeps, clad in red and green, each carrying three finalists, drove out of the fortress in sequence, with Fatty in the front, Xiao Ming in the middle, and Wang Kun in the rear.
The three of them were all wearing battle clothes of different colors.
Fatty was in silver, Xiao Ming was in gold, and Wang Kun was in bronze.
They were dressed like ancient warriors.
Both sides of the road were lined with men, women and children.
Seeing the appearance of the three contestants, they all waved small flags in their hands and shouted their names enthusiastically.
Xiao Ming's voice was naturally the loudest.
He held the handle with one hand and waved frequently to both sides.
His face was bright, but his heart was tense, ready to meet the bullet without eyes at any time.
The float circled the streets of the black market and returned to the fortress.
However, the expected assassination did not appear.
Xiao Ming's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the plan had changed?
In front is the viewing platform, and you can see the stationmaster, Rose, Yaotou and Hu Wei sitting on it, as well as the captain Sophie.
The crowd around was even bigger, and it started to boil with the appearance of the float.
Xiao Ming nodded and waved, overwhelmed, and at this moment, a colorful flame rose from the cloak behind him, which seemed to pay tribute to an old movie, or maybe it was some kind of signal.
The crowd was in awe, bursting into deafening applause and cheers.
Xiao Ming's expression was numb, and he still tried hard to maintain a smile and respond.
Suddenly, his ears jumped, and he caught a crisp sound of gunshots among the applause and voices in the sky.
When it finally came, he turned his head almost instinctively, and felt a huge impact hitting his chest.
His body flew into the air, flew backwards from the float, and fell heavily in the middle of the road.
Only then did the crowds on both sides react, scream, and flee.
Where did it hit?
Xiao Ming, who was lying on the ground, ran through this question in his mind, and suddenly saw a familiar slender figure running against the flow of people.
The pair of eyes exposed above the mask were full of nervousness and worry.
It wasn't like who it was.
"Don't come over here," Xiao Ming yelled in his mind, struggling to sit up to show that he was fine so as not to reveal his identity.
Wan Ruo stopped mid-run, but saw Sophie leading two guards to protect Xiao Ming.

At the same time, the security guards who maintained order also surrounded him, so that the hidden assassin could no longer fire a second shot.
In the gap between the people in front of him, Xiao Ming saw her stomping her feet as if reluctant to give up, turning around and blending into the running crowd.
Her confused expression when she turned around was deeply imprinted on his retina.
Rose also rushed down the viewing platform, her face pale and her voice trembling: "Xiao Ming" Only then did he feel severe pain in his chest.
He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of blood, followed by a black blur in front of his eyes.
Before completely losing consciousness, Xiao Ming heard Sophie shouting: "Send Xiao Ming to my ship quickly, I have the best medical facilities":
