As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people who had been staring at the pot immediately turned around and stared intently at Mu Jiuyue and her two companions.

There was an unnatural redness in their eyes.

His gaze didn't seem to be looking at a person, but rather at food.

Some people even drooled over the tall, strong Lin Zhen.

Mu Jiuyue immediately raised her hands: "Let's discuss it."

"Take them to the dungeon!" the cult leader said menacingly. "If they still refuse to submit by tomorrow morning, they will become food."

Those men holding guns immediately shoved Mu Jiuyue roughly.

Mu Jiuyue took two steps following the force.

Seeing that Lin Zhen didn't move, Mu Jiuyue gently kicked him, only to find that he was staring intently at the gun in the other's hand, and his eyes were red.

Mu Jiuyue had a bad feeling and immediately gave Wei Lie a wink.

Wei Lie raised his hand and pushed Lin Zhen forward a few steps. Only then did Lin Zhen come back to her senses, glare fiercely at those people, and then catch up with Mu Jiuyue's steps.

The three were quickly taken to the dungeon.

It's damp and dark here.

The prison cells were packed with people.

They were all refugees, pale and emaciated, some even on the verge of death.

When they saw three more people in the cell, their first reaction was, just like the group above, to show a longing for food.

However, the next second, the armed thugs roughly kicked the men to the ground, shouting angrily, "What are you looking at? Those three aren't even your turn to eat! You scum, you only deserve to eat cockroaches!"

Those people immediately shrank back and hid in a corner.

The cell door was slammed shut.

Mu Jiuyue pulled Lin Zhen, who was trying her best to hold back, and Wei Lie, who had an angry look on his face, and found a place where they could barely put their feet down to sit.

Lin Zhen was trembling all over, and through gritted teeth he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "The guns they took belong to our unit... they belong to us..."

Wei Lie understood what he meant in a second.

He sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Ajiu used to tell me that people in the apocalypse aren't human, and disaster victims aren't people, and I couldn't understand it then. Now, I understand it all."

Lin Zhen was furious to the extreme; he was like a powder keg that could explode at any moment!

“My good intentions…” Lin Zhen squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.

"Feed them to the dogs," Mu Jiuyue calmly continued. "No, they're not even as good as dogs. Look at the people in this cell. You don't think they're like us, food that's been captured and brought in, do you?"

Lin Zhen and Wei Lie looked up at the same time.

In the dim light, their expressions were not clear, but their eyes were clearly visible.

Its eyes gleamed with a chilling, greenish light; they were eyes that could devour people.

"They are the losers who failed to meet their recruitment targets, so they were left here as substitute food." Mu Jiuyue spoke of their origins in the calmest tone: "After they finish eating us, they will be food."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man sitting opposite him revealed his sinister teeth and said, "You little rascal, you've got some sense. What? You didn't drink the broth up there? Kid, let me give you a piece of advice: once you come to this place, no one leaves with a clean slate. Those who had the guts to refuse the broth are already a pile of bones. Here, anyone still breathing has already pledged their allegiance."

Lin Zhen suddenly asked, "Where did your timber and grain come from?"

"Wooden guns? Grain? Do you even need to ask? Of course, we stole them from others!" The other party laughed maniacally. "There was some idiot who thought he was a savior, sending people in trucks loaded with supplies to distribute in the neighborhood. Hahahaha, what he didn't know was that those who went to collect the supplies were all our people. A few naive fools even said they were worried we couldn't carry them all, so they offered to bring them back for us! Hahahaha, it's hilarious! Once they're here, they can't leave!"

"What did you do to them?" Lin Zhen's breathing became rapid. If Mu Jiuyue and Wei Lie hadn't been holding him down, he probably would have jumped up.

"Well? Let me think. There was a soldier named Zhang Wen who refused to obey the leader, so his heart was cut out and made into a snack for the leader. Everyone who ate it said it tasted amazing..." The other person sounded like he was savoring the memory.

Lin Zhen could no longer hold back. He broke free from Mu Jiuyue and Wei Lie's hands, rushed over, and threw a punch.

boom!

The man was knocked to the ground and was knocked unconscious.

People around him swarmed around him like flies, frantically tearing off his clothes and draping them over themselves.

In just a few seconds, he was completely stripped naked.

In such a cold cellar, even if he wasn't beaten to death by Lin Zhen, he would freeze to death from hypothermia.

An older man in the crowd spoke up: "Young man, don't get so angry. This is a dog-eat-dog world. If you're capable, go to a shelter; if not, just live one day at a time."

Lin Zhen's eyes were filled with tears: "But you shouldn't have attacked those who came to your rescue!"

"Who told them to save you? It certainly wasn't me." The man replied sarcastically, "It's been half a year since the apocalypse, and you're still so naive. Whose fault is it?"

In one sentence, he completely shut down all of Lin Zhen's questions.

Lin Zhen clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, drawing blood, but he felt no pain at all.

He regretted it.

I have never felt such regret before.

Mu Jiu is right.

The disaster victims are not human; they are a bunch of devils.

This is not a peaceful and prosperous era, this is the end times.

He still used the methods of peaceful times to command his subordinates, relying on old experiences to face this bloody world.

He was wrong.

He killed those soldiers who trusted and were loyal to him!

Seeing that Lin Zhen had finally realized his shortcomings, Mu Jiuyue stood up, lazily dusted herself off, and said, "Alright, it's time to go back. It's getting late."

"Trying to leave?" The man sneered. "You won't get out of here. There are layers of guards outside. Quite a few people have already tried."

"Is that so?" Mu Jiuyue replied casually, taking a hair clip from her temple and gently flicking it.

Click.

The lock opened with a click.

"What's that sound?" Someone heard the noise and walked over.

Mu Jiuyue concealed herself in the shadows, and as soon as the other person came over, she reached out and hugged their head, giving it a gentle twist.

Click.

The man collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed with unbelievable fear.

All of this took less than five seconds.

This scene stunned everyone in the cell.

However, the next second, someone suddenly screamed: "Help! Someone has killed a guard and is trying to escape!"

Before Lin Zhen could find the informant, Mu Jiuyue tossed two short knives to Lin Zhen and Wei Lie respectively, saying, "Whether you spare their lives or not is up to you."
