Lin Cong slowly explained the reason, "The Epochal agent named the Second is back."

"Second? Well, he should be back by now. But if he comes back, doesn't he still have a business relationship with Wang Liang? And what does it have to do with me?"

Zhang Mu became more and more confused and waited for Lin Cong to explain.

Lin Cong looked bitter, spread his hands and said, "That's a big deal. Brother Wang Liang did have business dealings with that No. 2 before, but Brother Mu, don't you remember why that person called himself No. 2?"

Zhang Mu reacted immediately and blurted out, "Because of me?"

"That's right. Brother Mu, you took away too many of his resources as a merchant agent in the First Era, which made it difficult for him to complete his mission. That's why he holds a grudge against you.

When he came back from outside, we specially held a banquet for him. As a result, we saw the large quantities of goods that were exclusive to the Jiyuan Store. We immediately understood that Brother Wang Liang and Brother Mu had made a deal. He left the gathering place without saying anything, "It's either you or him."

Lin Cong continued helplessly, "The next day, we got the news that he had started to cooperate with the forces from the outer city. With the help of the second, the strength of the forces from the outer city began to catch up with us, and the people who were originally wavering also became firm, and were not persuaded by us and left.

On the contrary, here, there are quite a few people who are itching to take advantage of the many benefits, weapons, and food released by the other side.

Later, for unknown reasons, thousands of mutant beasts surrounded the entire Luoyang City, but they seemed to be afraid of something and did not dare to attack the city, probably because of the Jiyuan merchants. But despite this, just surrounding Luoyang City and blocking our entry and exit would cause big problems if it lasted for a long time.

It was under such circumstances that the forces of the Old City and the Outer City united and temporarily merged into the Luoyang Alliance, meaning to swear an oath of blood for the future of mankind."

Lin Cong said this, spitting on the ground with disdain, "It sounds good, for the future of mankind, bullshit, after the merger, they openly began to deceive our evolvers.

Because of entering and leaving the city

It became impossible. The resources of Luoyang City had basically been mined out. Hunting mutant beasts or going to nearby small villages to find food became impossible. At this time, everyone's source of food, in addition to the stocks of the leaders of each gathering place, was only the second-hand food that was continuously exchanged from the Epochal Store. "

Zhang Mu suddenly realized that food is the lifeblood of everyone. No matter how capable one is, everyone needs to fill their stomach.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "The second one that distributed food to the people from the outer city?"

Lin Cong shook his head and said, "No, he is very scheming and has done much more than this. He also distributed food to the evolvers of the old city forces, but it was not enough to feed them, while the amount given to the outer city was enough.

By comparison, even a fool would know where to go. Now, even the leaders of many gathering places have begun to waver. "

This is a cruel move. I give it to you and I didn’t say I won’t give it to you, so that you won’t be accused of not knowing the justice of mankind.

If you want to eat, you can! I also distribute food, but if you want to eat your fill, you are not my person, no!

An obvious plan, a naked obvious plan!

But this trick is very effective. Even though we know it is a means to divide them, we have to do it.

clever!

Zhang Mu began to admire the Second's methods. No wonder he was able to sit firmly in the position of a merchant agent in the First Era in later generations. He had enough scheming and methods, but his mind was a little narrow.

"By now, there are not many leaders of the gathering places who have united with Wang Liang. Qian Bao is the younger brother of Qian Sheng, one of the first leaders of the gathering places who defected to him. That's why he acts so arrogantly."

Lin Cong was very dissatisfied with the leopard and said with disdain, "The city guards were selected from a large number of evolvers, with a ratio of six to four in the outer city and the old city. The leopard got in through connections, because the benefits of the city guards are very good, and my brothers and I took advantage of the fact that the beasts were not gathering under the city and fought desperately to get the heads of dozens of mutant beasts in exchange for our place."

Zhang Mu nodded slightly and said, "It seems that it is really because of me that you are in such a mess. I think Wang Liang is also very anxious now."

"yes

Ah, Brother Wang Liang has lost a lot of weight now, because of all these internal and external troubles. I was his close companion before, so I know more about the things. Brother Wang Liang often mentions you, Brother Mu, and he always says it would be great if you were here. "

Zhang Mu laughed, patted Lin Cong on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. I'll be back this time and things will be resolved soon."

Seeing Zhang Mu so confident, Lin Cong immediately felt relieved. The hard times were finally over. The days had been getting harder and harder since Zhang Mu was away for more than a month. He approached Zhang Mu and asked, "Brother Mu, did you bring back a lot of resources? If there are enough food and weapons, our welfare will be greatly improved. With the original foundation, we will definitely be able to regain all the lost power."

"Food? Weapons? These means of winning people's hearts can only be used as auxiliary tools. The most important thing is personal strength. If you are strong enough, you don't need to use small favors to attract others."

Zhang Mu and Lin Cong walked side by side and arrived at the gathering place, which was still the same place as before. He nodded slightly to the evolvers who had recognized him.

"Brother Mu is back. We don't have to eat that idiotic food anymore."

"Yes, I will never forget the bear meat that Brother Mu brought back a month ago. In comparison, the food I've been eating recently is either rice porridge or gruel. It's tasteless in my mouth."

"Those people cursed Brother Mu for not showing up for more than a month. Now we have slapped their faces. What's the point of being second? You have to know that our Brother Mu is the first-ranked agent of Jiyuan. Those bastards come to our place every day to show off our food. Now they will have a hard time."

Everyone who saw Lin Cong following Zhang Mu with a respectful look on his face confirmed that Zhang Mu was back, and they instantly became excited. Hearing people around him discussing him, Zhang Mu felt like he was back home.

At this time, a figure came hurriedly from a distance. After seeing who it was, Lin Cong quickly stepped aside.

The figure hugged Zhang Muxiong directly, and after a long while he slowly said, "Brother Mu, just come back."

It’s Wang Liang!
