When the silver-haired leader slowly caught up with Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu turned around and looked at him, as if he was talking to an old friend, without any tension from before.

"Why, you're still anxious? I thought you really didn't care at all."

Hearing Zhang Mu's teasing, he didn't take it to heart at all, because he knew that everything Zhang Mu showed seemed wrong. It seemed that everything he showed was unreal. His plainness, passion, and self-confidence, but it seemed that every trait he showed was both real and unreal.

This is why the silver-haired leader, although he had an absolute advantage in strength over Zhang Mu, was still wary of him, because this feeling made him very uncomfortable.

Seeing his serious expression, Zhang Mu was very surprised and continued, "Are you still afraid? You really got this power for nothing. If you are so cowardly, why don't you just stay in your own little place and be a local tyrant? It would be much better. Why do you have to do this?"

"I have the freedom to judge. You don't need to deliberately stir up my emotions and confuse me. You should know that you should not repeat this little trick. We have been testing each other for so long and nothing has come out of it. Do you think you have something interesting?"

Zhang Mu laughed out loud, and he was completely different from the calm and composed person just now. He was like a cynical young man, carefree and nonchalant. However, before, he gave the silver-haired leader the impression that he was an old monster with many years of experience in the business world, occupying the body of a teenager. If he didn't know that Zhang Mu was not that, he would even think that Zhang Mu was just like him, a cannibal who devoured other people's memories, and that this kind of personality could only appear due to the forced accumulation of rich experience and life experience.

In fact, the real situation was not that different from what he guessed, because Zhang Mu's existence was far more buggy than his existence that could devour the power and memory of others.

Zhang Mu in later life had experienced so much that his mental age had reached a very old level at the age of only 28.

Duan, he didn't say that he had seen through the world, but except for a few bottom lines in his heart, Zhang Mu had almost reached the point of having no desire for anything. He just wanted to complete his mission as an Epoch Merchant safely and steadily, so that his life could survive in this increasingly difficult doomsday.

In order to prevent himself from being sucked dry by the Epoch Merchant Ring due to unfinished missions, Zhang Mu was the fifth-ranked Epoch Agent Merchant, and was at the end of all Epoch transactions, with almost no good goods left for him, so the gap was getting bigger and bigger. And for this reason, Zhang Mu's only wish before every transaction was that someone would give him a portion of the Epoch Region goods, regardless of the meager profits, so that he could complete the most basic Epoch Merchant mission.

But in reality, there was no goods left for him. The mechanical voice in his ears told him that the despair he felt after the quantity of goods in various eras and regions reached zero happened repeatedly.

Therefore, he could only rely on his own non-stop running around and frequent wandering around the major Epoch Store branches, making small profits but quick turnover, without waiting for the next opportunity. In this way, he was able to complete the minimum amount of his gold leaf tasks just before the deadline every time.

The desire for survival and the despair for the unknown actually made Zhang Mu see through many things very early on, and he began to no longer care about many things.

But when Zhang Mu was reborn into his young body, he suddenly found that everything seemed different. He didn't have to live such a hard life. His body was still young and full of vitality, so he changed his thoughts imperceptibly from deep inside his body.

It is precisely because of this desire to change that Zhang Mu's personality and temperament are naturally harmonious in contradictions and harmonious in conflicts, which is simply incomprehensible.

Because of the silver-haired leader's words, the two of them fell silent for a long time, and it was Zhang Mu who spoke first.

"By the way, what's your name? I can't keep calling you 'hey hey hey'. Or call you 'Silver Hair' or 'Old Man'? I think

You look to be in your early forties."

Zhang Mu was talking to the silver-haired leader with a joking face, which made him very upset. He felt that he needed to re-evaluate Zhang Mu, but he also felt that what he said made some sense, so he still answered Zhang Mu.

"I don't have a name. I feel like I have merged the memories of too many people, my own and others, all merged together. If you hadn't told me, I probably wouldn't have remembered the existence of a name. It's useless in the gathering place. It seems like zombies and mutants can't talk to me when I go out."

"Why don't you just call me Zero? I didn't expect you to ask this. It caught me off guard."

The silver-haired leader thought for a long time before giving Zhang Mu this answer. He seemed to have tried hard to think of his own name before, but it seemed that he was conflicted by his other memories, so he still couldn't think it through, so he had to do this.

"Zero, okay, this name is a good one for yourself."

Zhang Mu responded while thinking. He had just captured a very important piece of information. The condition of the man who had just named himself Zero seemed to be much more serious than Zhang Mu had originally expected.

When it comes to a part that is common to many people, his thinking becomes confused. He originally thought that no matter how much Zero devoured, his thinking would definitely be based on the original one. But now it seems that this is not the case. If this continues, Zhang Mu can even foresee that he will completely become a monster.

Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel a little sad. This kind of power accumulation is fast, but the cost is proportionally large. Zero got powerful power, but in exchange, he was slowly losing himself.

This is probably why he is so anxious to find a stable source of power.

I guess he realized that he didn't have much time left to stay awake.

Both of them were thinking about something quickly in their minds, but they kept walking and they were about to reach the Epoch Store.
