It turned out that Zhang Mu had quietly released a vine of the Blood Vine Lotus just ten meters after approaching the Evolver hiding in the broken building. In order to make the plan more secure, he deliberately exposed a flaw, and at the moment when the Evolver lost his vigilance, the Blood Vine Lotus directly attacked and controlled his body.

Actually, it was quite embarrassing. The last time Zhang Mu came to this gathering place, he exposed his strength directly, which resulted in him pressing an alarm that was loud enough to echo throughout the entire unfinished building before he could subdue the evolver in front of him. Later, after the middle-aged silver-haired man was called over, he went outside with him, the leader of the gathering place, to complete the transaction.

It seems that the reason why he was sent to guard the gate was not just because of his strength, but his decisiveness and quick reaction speed when seeing an unmatched enemy also played a big role.

But even so, Zhang Mu, who had suffered a loss once, would definitely not fall in the same place for the second time. If he pressed the alarm in his arms again, he, Zhang Mu, would be finished.

Zhang Mu walked around the bundles of javelins on the ground, secretly marveling at the amount. He never thought that this gathering place could produce so many javelins for this person to squander. Although they could be recycled later, the number was still astonishing.

Zhang Mu quietly climbed down the stairs and slowly moved along the ruins towards the innermost building.

He had a hunch that those people must be gathered there, in the center of this unfinished building.

As expected, when approaching the building, Zhang Mu heard a faint noise. It must be the people in the gathering place. If it were Wang Liang and his group, they would definitely still be outside searching for supplies at this time. They would not be as leisurely as this group of people.

However, when Zhang Mu approached quietly, his vision became wider and he knew the reason for all this.

At this time, his face had completely darkened.

In the open space in front of the unfinished building, there were several steaming pots. Around each pot, there were more than a dozen people, eating something with great interest.

Although the steam was very strong, Zhang Mu could still tell what was cooking in the pot.

These big pots were filled with human bodies, which had been dismembered and were roiling in the soup.

Zhang Mu had seen cannibalism in later generations, but such people usually didn't live long, so he hadn't heard of cannibalism for a long time. Because cannibalism can only be caused by two reasons: one is being extremely hungry, and the other is being mentally abnormal.

The former has fallen to the point where he has to eat people to survive, so he naturally has no ability to get food. When no one feeds him or he has no ability to eat others, he will starve to death. The latter are mentally abnormal and are rejected by human society. These people who have been expelled will naturally not live long without the protection of large gathering places.

Cannibalism is a big taboo no matter where humans gather.

And all the evolvers in this East City gathering place were actually eating human flesh. Now Zhang Mu finally understood why this gathering place could do such a thing to Wang Liang and the others. Since they ate human flesh, they naturally no longer considered themselves human beings. Then why would they care about the humans who were regarded as food in their eyes?

It seems that the middle-aged silver-haired man had hidden himself too deeply before, causing Zhang Mu to not notice his abnormality at all. Moreover, he probably realized how powerful Zhang Mu was, so he deliberately made a deal with Zhang Mu.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that all the food I exchanged was fed like livestock to these ordinary people who they treated as food.

Zhang Mu suddenly understood why the evolver did not need new people to join. Perhaps they themselves were also deeply afraid in their madness, and were worried about being discovered by others when they fell.

I'm afraid that those evolvers who are unwilling to degenerate with them are also in these big pots. Most of them still choose to surrender, and the leader can't turn back on the road of cannibalism.

One of the evolvers seemed to have picked up all the human bones in the pot and tasted them. After there was not a drop of soup left, he seemed to feel hungry and waved his hand.

The other people immediately understood what he meant, and a thinner one immediately stood up and entered the unfinished building.

Not long after,

A ragged little girl was picked up by the short and thin man, just like a chicken.

The girl's eyes had become numb, but when she was really dragged to the big pot, she immediately cried out. The man next to her was grinning, not hiding his greed. He scanned the little girl's body, looking her up and down, as if judging how long this meal would last.

But no one took the little girl's cries seriously. They were so inhumane that they thought of this as something to enjoy, just like listening to a piece of heavenly music. The more miserable and powerless the little girl's cries became, the more crazy they looked.

After five minutes, the little girl had cried so much that she became exhausted, and the group's interest died down. The evolver who had just wanted to add more food also said something as if it was a matter of habit.

Then the short and thin man, as if he had received an order, lifted the little girl up high and was about to strip off her clothes, which were already very little to cover her body, intending to put her into the pot.

In fact, Zhang Mu wanted to take action the moment the girl came out, but he still hadn't seen the real core of the gathering place, the silver-haired middle-aged leader.

So he had been holding back from making a move, but now he couldn't. How could Zhang Mu let an innocent little girl be boiled alive right under his nose just because of this idea of ​​catching them all at once?

He has experienced too much in his later lives, and his heart has become cold, but his blood, still human blood, is still hot!

Zhang Mu no longer hid his figure and walked out from behind the cover, showing his presence without any concealment.

The noise caused the dozens of people, no, monsters, who were dining, to look at Zhang Mu. The short and thin man also put down the little girl in his hands and looked at Zhang Mu with a gloomy face.

Even Zhang Mu felt uncomfortable with the feeling of dozens of people staring at him while eating human corpses, especially when some of them were holding the head and licking it.

Originally, Zhang Mu wanted to hide his identity, but now it seems unnecessary.

Because no one here can walk out of here alive.

This is Zhang Mu’s bottom line, and also the bottom line for all of humanity.
