At this moment, Zhang Mu seemed to have completely lost his body. This feeling was like the sound when the era of bliss began. Zhang Mu found that only his soul and consciousness could think. The whole person seemed to be split into two parts, and the soul and body were completely separated.

It is conceivable how terrifying this middle-aged man from the East City force, the man who appeared quietly behind him, is. His mind control ability has become so powerful.

Zhang Mu even had an illusion that this person might have advanced to the second level!

But he knew that this was absolutely impossible. Human evolution requires sedimentation and accumulation. In just ten days, even the most genius could not reach this level.

Zhang Mu clearly remembered that even the leaders of those large gathering places or those chosen ones only began to have the intention of breaking through the second level after one or two months. Now even Zhang Mu himself has not reached the bottleneck of the second level, so he couldn't believe that someone had actually done it.

Now, he would have to make a big adjustment to his plan. No, it couldn't even be said that he changed it himself, he was just forced to use a measure.

Just when Zhang Mu was lost in thought, the voice behind him sounded again, and this time, it was very close to him.

"What's wrong? It seems that you have overestimated your own strength, Epoch Merchant, Luoyang City's first-ranked Epoch Agent Merchant."

Zhang Mu had no way to turn around and look at him, but his eyes were no longer calm, and his emotions were still fluctuating. It was possible that this person knew his identity as an agent of Jiyuan, after all, he had appeared in the second place, but he actually knew that his ranking was first, which was very strange.

Is he also an agent of Jiyuan? The third? Or the fourth?

Zhang Mu speculated on this possibility, because he couldn't think of anything else that could make this person know so much about him.

However, he soon didn't have to think so aggrievedly, because Zhang Mu saw a figure slowly walking around his side, walking past, and walked to the side of the man in the white shirt. With a light slap, he knocked down the out-of-control Blood Vine Lotus.

"Want to eat the flesh of the evolvers? It seems that your ambition has not yet subsided. You want to get to the top, Gulin."

The leader of East City kindly patted the depressed man named Gulin and said, "It seems that I thought too much. I thought you would behave yourself after that incident, but I didn't expect that you are still not dead yet."

Gulin's face was extremely pale now, and it didn't seem like it was because of the blood vine.

The reason why Lian Di took the drug was not because he was completely frightened by the gentle words spoken by the man in front of him. He had seen how those people were tortured to a state of living worse than death by his boss who pretended to be a good guy.

"Boss, please forgive me this time. Actually, I wanted to kill him and offer him to you, but I was too impulsive. You know that he is a fat guy with a bad brain. He wanted to eat first, and I was bullied by him before I had that idea."

Gulin was no longer as unbridled as before, and agreed to his boss' demands in a meek and submissive manner, fearing that his boss would kill him if he got unhappy. There was a pleading look in his eyes.

"Haha, do you really think I'm old and my brain isn't working well? If you hadn't run into a tough guy this time, you would have killed him a long time ago. More than a dozen people died, just wait and see, now get out of the way."

Hearing the silver-haired man say this, Gulin seemed relieved. After all, since the leader said so, at least his life was saved. What he feared most was that this person would say nothing and just keep smiling at him.

The middle-aged man was not tall, but he easily lifted up the man who was at least 1.80 meters tall, and then threw him to the ground. Gulin immediately used his last bit of strength to crawl away, and barely stood up with the help of the survivors.

In the man's fearful eyes, the silver-haired leader seemed to finally remember Zhang Mu who had been left aside and unable to move for a long time, and slowly walked towards him.

Although his pace was slow, every step seemed to step heavily on Zhang Mu's heart.

"I'm sorry, my subordinates are unruly. I have to discipline them. I am sorry for being disrespectful." The silver-haired leader looked at Zhang Mu with the same gentle eyes as always. At this moment, Zhang Mu felt a chill rushing up from his soul.

"What's wrong? Merchant, aren't we good trading partners? Why do you come to my gathering place? Do you want to discuss business with me? But, it seems that there is no one like you in business. I only have dozens of subordinates, and you took away more than a dozen lives. If you look at it from the perspective of doing business, it seems that you need to compensate me a little, right? What are you going to use? Money? Or, your life?"

Zhang Mu suddenly found that he could control the muscles on his face. He struggled to get his upper and lower jaws back in place. After a while, he asked in a cold tone, "Are they considered human lives? Are you considered a human being?"

"Haha, it's just cannibalism, why make a fuss? It's just a bunch of protein. A bunch of rubbish protein is eaten by good protein, what's the problem?"

Zhang Mu felt a surge of anger rising from his chest.

He suppressed his emotions and said slowly, "No matter how trashy they are, aren't they your compatriots? Can't they eat food? How did you eat them?"

Hearing Zhang Mu's words, the silver-haired leader laughed instead. "Do you really understand the feeling of hunger? Oh, a businessman like you should eat a lot of meat and fish every day, and you won't understand our pain. Even in the past, haven't you heard about the surviving passengers eating the bodies of their companions after the plane crashed into the mountains? How many people dared to condemn them? Even if it was you, can you guarantee that you would not eat human flesh when you are extremely hungry? No, you can't guarantee that. People who are about to starve to death are crazy."

Before Zhang Mu could refute, the middle-aged man continued with the next sentence. His eyes began to blur and he was lost in his memories. He told his story, as if no one had listened to him for a long time.

"That was three days ago. I just remember that I was very hungry. I didn't drink a sip of water in those three days. I was almost dying. If I hadn't been so weak, I would have swallowed my tongue."

"At this time, a 20-year-old girl appeared, holding a piece of bread in her hand, and she started to eat it in front of me. I begged her so much, so much."

At this point, the silver-haired leader's face began to become ferocious, and his voice became extremely sharp, "She was unwilling to give me even a crumb of bread, not even a single bite!"

His voice was trembling, as if he remembered how low he had whispered at that time, "At that moment, I just wanted to eat, I wanted to live, my thoughts, everything I had was fixed on that girl, I wanted to eat the bread in her hand."

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed. "I didn't expect it to be true. She was frozen in that moment. Although my head hurt, I didn't know where I got the strength from. It took me several minutes to move each step. But I did it and crawled to her side with difficulty."

"I remember that I slowly moved my head to the bread and bit it with all my strength. I just wanted to eat the bread, but I bit her finger in the process."

"That feeling, that wonderful taste, it's so sweet. I've lived for decades without knowing there is something so delicious. I sucked her blood bit by bit."

"By then, I had forgotten that I wanted to eat bread."

The middle-aged man paused, and continued to talk to Zhang Mu with a kind smile, "This blood seems to give me strength."

"Then, the blood could no longer be sucked out."

"I just ate her, bit by bit."
