Chapter 207 A Power Structure in the Making

“Above the enforcers are the arbiters. The arbiters are the highest authority in Centerville. There are five of them.”

The rest of the group stared at him in that disbelief. In the few hours they’d been out, Dylan hadn’t just mapped Centerville—he’d dissected the entire chain of command.

Dylan paused, then went on. “Those three tiers are the visible structure. But between Innerville. Centerville, and Outerville, there’s a fourth group–unusual, and separate from the chain of command. They operate outside the official system but hold more power than most people do. They’re called messengers.”

“Messengers?”

Ella’s brow drew together. “That’s an odd name. Messengers of what? Supplies? I thought Robin mentioned that unofficial supply trafficking inside Redwood Military Base was banned.”

Dylan shook his head. “Not supplies. Information.”

“Information?”

Now, Robin was interested.

1. q.

In her previous life, she’d spent ten years inside Redwood Military Base and had never heard of a group like this. Where had they come from?

Or had her rebirth somehow caused certain things to unfold differently this time around?

If that was the case, it wasn’t good news.

Because she couldn’t pin down exactly what had changed compared to her past life, she felt unsettled. It was as if events were slipping out of her grasp.

But the next second, Martin spoke up, his voice low and steady. “Before the apocalypse, I got a briefing. Someone was building a secret organization dedicated to information trafficking. They were trying to concentrate power in their own hands. They were flagged as traitors. We were running active operations against them.

“I didn’t expect them to have resurfaced inside Redwood Military Base. Whoever is pulling the strings the man named Hector Clark has to be involved.”

“So, these messengers existed before the apocalypse?”

Robin’s eyes lit up.

If they’d existed before the apocalypse, then the trajectory of events hadn’t actually diverged from her past

life at all,

The reason she hadn’t known about them was simply that they’d been too secretive–and given her status in her past life, it made sense she’d never brushed up against a secret this deep.

The thought let her relax.

And it made her look at kylan with fresh respect,

In her past life, she hadn’t uncovered this secret in years. Dylan had cracked the whole thing open in a single afternoon.

Was this what a genetically enhanced IQ looked like?

Ella let out a “wow.” She said, “You’re unbelievable. You actually managed to dig up something like this?”

Dylan gave her a faint smile. “Just lucky.”

“What these messengers do is secretly report the activity of Outerville and Centerville back up the chain. then turn around and leak certain Innerville secrets back out through their own channels.

“Half of what they leak is accurate, half of it is fabricated. The whole point is to keep the residents of Centerville and Innerville easy to steer. It makes the Innerville crowd that much easier to control.

“So every layer is wired into the one above it.”

Thinking about Martin’s grim death in her past life, Robin couldn’t help connecting certain events to these

messengers.

When Hector had moved against Martin, the messengers had almost certainly played a role.

And based on what Dylan was saying, the identities of the messengers were kept absolutely hidden. Which meant any random stranger on the street–a beggar in rags on a street corner–could be one of them.

It was impossible to be sure that no messenger had ever infiltrated their squad in her past

“Your intel–gathering is on another level.”

life.

Drake couldn’t stop himself from saying it. “Kid. What did you do before the apocalypse? Was this training, or were you born with it?”

He felt a twinge of regret as he said it. Someone this talented belonged in national service.

Too bad. Before he could be recruited, the apocalypse had hit.

“I got lucky.”
