"Tonight at 7 PM, the floor-grabbing event will start on time. The specific rules are in the pinned post in the Qidian book review area. Everyone, please take a look. After this chapter is published, the floor-grabbing post will be posted but locked, and it will open precisely at 7 PM (it's being posted early just in case it can't refresh in time). At 8 PM, there will be red envelopes in the group~~"
"Uh, is it starting?"
Zhang Dalong wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, looking at the Death Vine shaking a few meters away from him.
He had been watching for a long time. The vine, which resembled a door board, stood still but was enough to make those behind him, whom he had threatened into coming, silent with fear.
Everyone felt unlucky; they just wanted to come to Linhai during the Feast Day to search for treasure, but they were dragged here by this guy. Not only had their wealth been stripped away, but they also had to accompany him into this city and serve as cannon fodder.
If it was just that, these people could endure it. In the apocalypse, those with strong fists are the boss. If someone is stronger than you, you have to listen to them; that's just the way it is.
But he eats people!
Every time they saw Zhang Dalong eat someone, they felt a chill run down their spines, their stomachs churning. The realization that they were not just his underlings but also his food was extremely uncomfortable.
Right now, these nearly a thousand people most hoped for was for this guy to die here; that way, they would all be free.
Perhaps sensing the curses in everyone's hearts, Zhang Dalong muttered to himself and then charged directly into the midst of the Death Vines, swinging the wolf fang club in his hand. Although he had only taken a few steps into those strange plants, he was still met with powerful attacks.
Everyone in the crowd behind him showed excited expressions; they had never wished for a mutated life form to win so much.
But they were disappointed. Zhang Dalong's robust body disappeared for only a few seconds before reappearing, still looking fierce but now with several new wounds.
"Is your information really accurate?"
After testing the Death Vine, Zhang Dalong quickly walked up to a man, squeezing his jaw and asking in a deep voice.
"Y-yes, there really is a... Life Brain inside."
Zhang Dalong stared into the man's eyes, scrutinizing him for a moment before releasing him.
The man collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, rubbing his jaw where he felt it had been crushed.
"You didn't lie to me?"
"N-no! This information was passed on by someone from our team just before he died, using a special method from Linhai City! Our boss sold this information to the Ogre Chain! It can't be fake."
"What about your boss?"
"He... he was eaten by you."
Zhang Dalong awkwardly scratched his head, chuckling, but a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, I see. I'm really sorry, but since you didn't lie to me, then... you can die now."
A large, hairy hand covered the man's head, and then... the fingers closed in.
Ah!

"Brother Cheng, the people from the Lei family have left." A little brother entered and whispered into the ear of a young man who was sleeping with a half-naked person. The young man immediately opened his eyes, fully awake, with no hint of sleepiness.
He silently sat up, put on a piece of clothing, and walked out of the tent.
It was already late at night, and the people in the camp had calmed down from the excitement caused by the golden light during the Feast Day, returning to rest, waiting for the Death Vines to retreat underground, which would signal the time to enter.
Dacheng took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag, struggling internally. Finally, he threw the half-burnt cigarette to the ground and ground it underfoot.
For the legendary Life Brain, he would gamble once.
