Chapter 367: Human Madness

At this moment, even the most hot-blooded people came to their senses. They knew that the person under the food mountain was a second-rank evolver.

Even if he was not the best, he was still a second-rank evolver that they usually looked up to. And this kind of death was truly shocking to their core. Their heads were scarred with wounds the size of a bowl, but now they were probably crushed and mixed with the scattered food.

Being crushed to death by food was probably one of the most humiliating ways to die. Zhang Mu didn’t get angry at his foul language, as he knew that after death, there would be demons to punish him for his sins.

This guy, Zhang Mu didn’t want to kill him himself. To advance to second-rank and still do these shady things, isn’t dying in battle better than dying in such frustration?

He chose this path himself, making the wrong master choice and wasting the resources for advancing to second-rank.

“What are you waiting for? This food is all yours, can it prove that I am the messenger of the gods?”

The Era Merchant Ring revealed by Zhang Mu is enough to explain everything. He also has the ability to conjure up a large amount of food out of thin air, which is the ability to communicate with ordinary people’s minds and the so-called spirits.

What they found unbelievable was that the man in front of them, who killed without blinking an eye, actually wanted to give them food. There were tons of food piled up here, and Zhang Mu just said to take it. Before, they had wanted his life, so they doubted if it was Zhang Mu’s conspiracy. Surprisingly, no one dared to come forward, even though the food they had been thinking about day and night was placed so casually in front of them.

Zhang Mu didn’t want to explain to them. He wasn’t a good person either. It wasn’t for Hachikuju’s sake, he would have gone on a killing spree long ago. He didn’t want this food, he just really didn’t want it.

The food bags were stained with the flesh and blood of the person from earlier, can they still be eaten? These ordinary people were just pitiful creatures, living in the end of the world, trying to survive by any means necessary. They weren’t worth his time.

Without saying much, Zhang Mu turned and walked towards Xiao Nan. The ordinary people saw that Zhang Mu had indeed abandoned the pile of food. A bold tattooed man picked up the two outer bags of food and ran out.

He was afraid that Zhang Mu would change his mind, worried that the people around him would snatch it from him, shouting, “Hurry up and take it, what are you waiting for?”

After being encouraged by the strong man with a tattoo and seeing him running away with two bags of food, Zhang Mu didn’t look back and rushed towards the food pile as if going crazy.

Some people cleverly grabbed one bag and ran back, while those who wanted a second bag were mostly beaten so badly that they didn’t even keep the bag they just grabbed. Those unlucky ones who got trampled never left that spot again.

Soon after hundreds of people grabbed the food and ran away without stopping, because there were still a few people with empty hands but red eyes. They needed to leave quickly to avoid becoming targets.

It’s much easier to snatch food from one person than from a group of people.

What was left were only the bags of food on the body of the person who died earlier, covered in blood and meat scraps. When they were moved, the sight of the person’s body was unbearable.

Over a hundred people were left with nothing in their hands, and they had many injuries. These people were relatively weaker and had lower awakening abilities among ordinary people, so they didn’t join in the crowd to fight for food.

A wise old man took the opportunity while everyone hesitated and rushed to the body, picking up a bloody bag of food to slip away. However, he didn’t notice that someone had already set their eyes on him.

Since someone took the lead, they put aside their last hesitation, and a thin young man, although small in stature, had the eyes of a wild beast at that moment. He slapped the old man away and carried a full bag of food before running off, showing his teeth at those who coveted his food and then ran while they were stunned.

Out of over a hundred people, only ten bags of food were left, and the competition became even more intense than before because everyone was equally weak – it was all about who was fiercer.

Finally, the last ten bags of food were all taken, no one cared that there was still human flesh on them. Those who got some were happy, those who didn’t have better luck sat on the side, staring blankly at the empty space. Unlucky ones had already become part of that flesh.

In front of the temple, even though Zhang Mu only killed one person, the blood kept flowing more and more.

Despite the noise behind him, Zhang Mu knew but didn’t look back, didn’t make fun, didn’t show disdain.

Because he knew he had seen everything these people had been through. He had become numb, now he couldn’t even protect his own life, how could he demand so much from them.

Xiao Nan had already put down his sword and was waiting for Zhang Mu to explain. Zhang Mu had ignored his warning and killed his man. Xiao Nan couldn’t stop it in time, so he held back.

But after waiting for a long time, Zhang Mu still didn’t show any intention to explain. They stared at each other for a while, then Zhang Mu finally spoke. Xiao Nan couldn’t believe Zhang Mu lazily stretched and said, “City Lord Xiao Nan, if there’s nothing else, I need a rest. It’s been a tiring day.”

“Do you want to leave?”

Xiao Nan almost gritted his teeth as he said this. Even if it was not his own capital, he couldn’t be so disrespectful. The Zhang Mu in front of him seemed to see him as nothing.

“What? City Lord Xiao Nan still wants me to stay for tea? I don’t drink anything fancy.”

Zhang Mu’s words slowly tested Xiao Nan’s patience, acting foolish almost made Yuan Rui and others unable to control themselves.

But Xiao Nan remembered Era Sub-merchant’s instructions, needing to wait for them to return and handle it personally. So he forcibly suppressed his anger, knowing that losing a second-rank evolver was a loss, Zhang Mu killing him and not giving an explanation was unacceptable.

Xiao Nan looked at Zhang Mu coldly and said, “It’s better that you keep up this arrogance. Even if all the Second-war Riders from Ordos City come, they won’t be able to save you.”

Zhang Mu chuckled lightly and said, “Are you waiting for tomorrow? Waiting for the return of those Era Sub-merchants?”

Xiao Nan was surprised, how did Zhang Mu know what he was thinking.

He forgot Zhang Mu’s identity, Zhang Mu was also an Era Sub-merchant, naturally knowing that tomorrow was the day Era Store would restock Era Region goods and Era Universal Merchandise. Those Era Sub-merchants would come back to try to empty the whole Era Store, how could he not know.

“Coincidentally, I also want to meet them, I am looking forward to it.”
