Zhang Mu naturally didn't let the black-veiled woman guess what he was thinking, so he just covered his head and fell asleep. Because he didn't use his second-level strength to fight against Long Qi's mental oppression today, he still had some mental burden.
Early the next morning, Zhang Mu received a notice from Long Qi's guards, asking them to gather outside the city in an hour. After joining the team of evolvers, they would be separated from ordinary civilians and wait for orders together.
Just when Zhang Mu was about to ask for some specific information, the guard hurried out, as if he had a lot of people to notify.
How could it be so sudden? We were notified in the morning and we have to gather in an hour?
Zhang Mu felt a little confused, but he still woke up Yuan Rui, then went out to call over the mutant wolfhounds and obsidian worms that were resting outside, and walked directly out of the city without taking any luggage.
Along the way, more and more people gathered towards the city gate, and Zhang Mu was secretly surprised. Although most of them were civilians holding various weapons and ordinary evolvers who seemed to have only increased strength and agility at most, Zhang Mu's keen mental power still sensed some powerful auras among the crowd.
Compared with the first-order evolvers, there are so many strong people with awakened abilities in Shanxi City, given the huge population base. The importance of population can be seen.
You know, in Luoyang City, where the Epoch Store is also stationed, there are only a few thousand people alive in the city. This is the huge benefit brought by having a person in power who can control the situation at the earliest time.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, Long Qi led his troops to save too many survivors who were supposed to die in the zombie horde, and among these survivors some of them gradually awakened their evolutionary abilities.
In Luoyang City, whether Wang Liang can integrate all the scattered gathering forces into his command is one thing, but if he is asked to clean up Luoyang City, Zhang Mu feels that if there are no variables, he can't do it at all. Moreover, the overall situation is basically determined now. Those who can survive are struggling to survive, and those who are unlucky have turned into part of the zombie members or the feces of mutant beasts.
Because, in Luoyang City, there is no second-level evolver who can control the overall situation.
Zhang Mu is considered a member of Luoyang City
It's a pity that he didn't take action and wouldn't favor Wang Liang too much. He had to let him prove himself. However, Zhang Mu originally estimated that Wang Liang would be in the third month after the end of the world. It was already very good that he could recover Luoyang City. It's just that he was shocked by Long Qi's wrist now, and there was some difference in comparison.
No matter they were ordinary people or soldiers with stern expressions, he saw too many soldiers with burning desire to fight, their eyes full of desire to fight.
Zhang Mu hadn't seen this kind of desire for a long time. In his later life, almost all the soldiers had numb eyes when they went to the battle. They left the city just to survive. If they could sneak attack some low-level mutant beasts and kill them for meat without being discovered by high-level mutant beasts, then they could have some peace for a while.
Not only the confused civilians, but even the soldiers were living a life of hunger and starvation, begging for the most humble purpose of survival.
In Luoyang and Xi'an, all the survivors had not yet escaped from the shadow of the end of the world. They were hiding from the possibility of being discovered by the zombies, worried that a large mutant beast would break into their shelter and be used as food. They were in a state of panic all day long, and there was definitely no such fighting spirit in their eyes. Even Wang Liang's men were the best Zhang Mu had ever seen, but they definitely did not have such a magnificent fighting spirit. After Zhang Mu arrived and they had a full meal, they barely had a little vision of their future life.
Because originally, due to insufficient supplies and strict food distribution standards, such a situation was indeed difficult.
And now, the soldiers under Long Qi have perfectly integrated into every corner of the entire gathering place, forcibly attaching the military style to ordinary people. Coupled with Long Qi's powerful abilities and unique personal charm, it has become what Zhang Mu sees now.
Because, up to now, they have never lost any of the battles, big or small, that Long Qi led them to clean up.
Although Zhang Mu was somewhat wary of Long Qi's second-level forces, what Zhang Mu feared most was definitely not his personal ability, but the army under his command, which consisted of nearly 10,000 soldiers with burning fighting spirit.
The city gates were all open, and Zhang Mu had already arrived outside the city. Looking at the huge and mighty team, he felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
Although the crowd was buzzing, no one dared to make a sound.
The discipline is really good. If the death rate of the army in later generations during the debugging period is like that of the soldiers led by Long Qi, the effect of being led by them through the difficult period at the beginning of the apocalypse would be too obvious.
Zhang Mu led Yuan Rui to another place with fewer people but a strong aura. It was obvious that this was a team of evolvers, because there were too many people with strange abilities. Some carried all kinds of exaggerated weapons, or had energy attributes attached to their bodies. In addition, their body shapes were far different from those of ordinary people.
Compared to the group of ordinary people just now, the looks of these people had a hint of arrogance, but they were still very respectful to the officers in front of them. It was also because of Long Qi, and the lessons learned from the previous rebels, that they did not dare to act rashly.
After greeting Li Hu who was standing in the front row, Zhang Mu quietly walked to the end of the team. Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui walked over leisurely with the mutant beast, attracting everyone's attention, but they soon ignored it.
The awakened evolvers were respectful to Long Qi, which was a respect for the strong. As for people like Zhang Mu who relied on mutant beasts, they didn't take it to heart even though they rarely saw him. They chatted with each other in low voices, which was a little noisy.
Zhang Mu used his gentle mental power to roughly detect that there were nearly two thousand people with evolved abilities here.
The ratio of evolvers to ordinary people was about one to five. Zhang Mu could only be secretly shocked.
It’s so high?
No wonder Long Qi had the confidence to recapture Jinzhong City, this is his capital!
When Zhang Mu saw Gu Quan, he walked up to him, smiled and greeted him, but Jiang Shu seemed to be elusive and Zhang Mu didn't see him.
Most of the people had already arrived when Zhang Mu arrived. As time passed, scattered people continued to rush out of the city, while some people from outside the city also rushed back. They should have been notified before leaving the city.
"Are you all ready?"
A clear voice rang out in everyone's heart.
Yes, not in the ear, but in the heart.
It’s Long Qi’s voice!
Zhang Mu narrowed his eyes, looked at the figure on the city wall, and spoke slowly.
"Is it a mental resonance?"
