The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain - Chapter 12

[Chapter 6 Surge]

There were only two people, Xu Lichuan and Brother Huo, on the huge round table. The dining table was filled with all kinds of delicacies and fine wines.

As the most luxurious hotel in Zhongdu, it has always been a gathering place for the upper class in Zhongdu. All kinds of tricks that ordinary people would never think of are performed here every day. The amount that ordinary rich people spend in a day here is enough to make ordinary people feel desperate.

It is said that the wine and meat of the wealthy family are stinky, and the bones are frozen to death on the road, it is nothing more than that.

“Huo Qing, the mayor is very dissatisfied with what you have done.” Xu Lichuan exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Brother Huo condescendingly and said, “You usually just let it go, but now you don’t even care about the second son’s matter. Dare you take charge? Do you think the mayor owes you a favor? Who gave you the courage?”

Huo Qing, also known as Brother Huo, frowned at this time, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, but after listening to Xu Lichuan’s words, he finally Still nothing was done. The mayor of Zhongdu City, Shang Anguo, stood behind Xu Lichuan. That was a power he could never provoke.

So Huo Qing just smiled and said: “Haha, Mr. Xu, I misunderstood, how dare I interfere with the second master’s affairs.” After saying that, Huo Qing toasted Xu Lichuan a glass of wine and said: “I was looking at Mayor Shang’s calendar. Wanji, you don’t have time to care about such trivial matters, why do you want to share the mayor’s worries? I was confused.”

Xu Lichuan snorted coldly: “It’s okay if you did it, but the people you sent were slaughtered instead. . Do you know that this makes us very passive?”

Huo Qing patted his chest and said, “Mr. Xu, I was careless this time. I have sent people to investigate, and I promise to bring Li Anping to you within three days. “

“What do I want with that trash?” Xu Lichuan patted the table and said, “Li Anping is just a pawn, he has a useless purpose. Someone must be behind this this time and wants to use Li Anping to attack Mayor Shang.”

” Mr. Xu is right.” Huo Qing nodded.

“So our key now is to catch those who are hiding behind the scenes. We cannot let the small group of illegal elements retaliate against Mayor Shang. It affects the unity of the people and social stability.” Xu Lichuan was also a civil servant. The clichés are quite smooth.

Then he said calmly: “But what you just said is correct. You still have to investigate from Li Anping. You just said three days, okay, I’ll give you a week. If you can’t find out, don’t go there.” I’m staying in Zhongdu.”

“Mr. Xu, don’t worry, within a week, no matter he is a dragon or a tiger, if he dares to go against the mayor in Zhongdu, he will be dead.” Huo Qing toasted Xu Lichuan another glass of wine: ” Speaking of which, Mr. Xu has a far-reaching view. No wonder he can be Mayor Shang’s right-hand man. His words are really to the point. I heard that you were also responsible for Shang Shao’s case some time ago. It’s really a good person who can turn the tables for the clouds. Rain.”

Xu Lichuan smiled and said lightly: “It’s just some small tricks.”

Then Huo Qing praised him again, which made Xu Lichuan, an old man in the world, feel a little elated.

After three drinks, when it was almost time to finish, Huo Qing stuffed a thick red envelope into Xu Lichuan’s arms. Xu Lichuan nodded with satisfaction, then calmly accepted Huo Qing’s arrangement and asked two of Dihao’s red-card girls to fly together. After he followed the mayor, he resigned from his official position to facilitate his work, and now he had no scruples in enjoying himself.

After Xu Lichuan left, Huo Qing sat down, lit a cigarette, exhaled, and said to the empty hall, “How was it?”

Behind him, in the originally empty place, there was actually A young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes slowly emerged. This man seemed to have been standing here for a long time. He only showed his figure after hearing Huo Qing’s words.

He pulled out a chair, sat on it, picked up the wine bottle on the dining table and drank.

“This Xu Lichuan is just a scumbag. Brother, why do you need to look at his face?” The young man said with an unhappy look.

“I’m not looking at his face, I’m looking at Shang Anguo’s face.” Huo Qing sneered: “This Xu Lichuan has been handling some illegal things for Shang Anguo for many years, and he can be called Shang Anguo’s spokesperson in the underground world of Zhongdu. As long as we can establish a relationship with him, our status in Zhongdu can be said to be safe and sound.”

Seeing that the young man still looked unhappy, Huo Qing did not take it seriously and continued: “Even if there is no intention of Shang Anguo, I will definitely get to the bottom of what happened to Ah Lang and Lao Nuo. Brother, it’s up to you to investigate because it involves people with abilities. With your ability, doing this can be done with twice the result with half the effort.” “Make sure the other party is too

. A person with abilities?” Huo Fei saw his brother’s conclusive tone and asked curiously: “Although Alang’s ability is good, if the opponent has more guns, he may not be able to kill him. As for Lao Nuo, although he has rich experience, he is just a man after all. It’s normal for ordinary people to lose physical strength as they get older.”

“You wouldn’t say that if you saw their bodies.” Huo Qing said, taking out two photos from his arms and placing them on Huo Fei’s body. forward.

Even with Huo Fei’s many years of experience in fighting, he couldn’t help but frown when he saw these two photos: “Are these the bodies of A Lang and Lao Nuo? They look like power users.” “I can’t tell

. There are many kinds of abilities, and it is useless just to look at the results. Fortunately, it depends on your investigation.”

Huo Fei suddenly said: “The two of them went to kill Li Anping, but both of them died, and Li Anping disappeared. You Is it possible that Li Anping awakened his ability, killed two people and escaped?”

“How is that possible? Stop thinking about it.” Huo Qing smiled and said, “Li Anping is an ordinary person and has no fighting experience at all. . And his body is already disabled. Even if he awakens his abilities, how can he be against Lao Nuo and the others who have experienced hundreds of battles. You are also an experienced master. You should understand that the superiority of abilities is never as good as the mastery of the person himself. The power is reliable.

Unless that Li Anping got lucky and awakened some super power.” At this point, he himself shook his head in disbelief.

At this moment, Huo Qing’s cell phone rang, and there was an anxious voice coming from it. After a few words, his expression completely changed.

Huo Fei asked: “What’s wrong? What happened?”

“Chang Zheng is dead.” Huo Qing slowly closed the phone, his face became extremely gloomy: “Someone called the police, and the police entered his factory Later, more than 30 corpses were found, including Chang Zheng, and except for one hostage, all were dead.”

Huo Qing held the phone and made an overwhelmed squeaking sound. He said in a cold voice: “I just asked him to investigate Li Anping’s affairs, but he was all over it at night. It is very likely that the person who saved Li Anping took action. Brother , you can investigate based on this clue now.”

“Okay.” Huo Fei agreed: “I haven’t worked for several months. If I don’t do something, I will be rusty.”

Looking at Huo Fei slowly Disappearing in the air, Huo Qing said harshly: “No matter who they are, anyone who dares to kill me will naturally have to pay the price, but it doesn’t matter if others are killed. You have to bring Li Anping and the person in charge, just fine.” Used to sell Shang Zhenbang and his father a favor.”   …

Li   Anping hid in the corner opposite the factory building. When he saw the police car approaching, he left quietly.   He walked in the shadows, feeling the boiling power in his body slowly calm down, and said to Hei in his mind: “Hei, tell me about your ability.” After a moment of silence, Hei laughed softly:   ”Been After I possess you, you can absorb human souls by contacting them when killing people, or directly eat their flesh to strengthen your body and spirit, your muscle endurance, flexibility, agility and even memory, reaction, etc. etc. will be strengthened.   In other words, you can continue to become stronger by eating people. However, from the hospital’s point of view, your ability level is still very low. Ordinary people can directly absorb it through contact, while for those with abilities, it is necessary to You have to kill the opponent before you can eat him.”   After hearing this this time, Li Anping did not show the disgusted look he had in the past, but calmly thought about what Hei said.   ”Does it have to be a human? Isn’t it okay to eat animals?”   ”Hahahaha.” Hei Kuang laughed and said, “Try letting the tiger eat grass and the lion eat vegetables. The so-called human beings are the food we must have.” “Is it food   ? “Li Anping said calmly: “So, you are not a human being?”   ”Human?” Hei disdain said: “My position in this world is much higher than yours, but this is not what you can know now. Li Anping, don’t think that you have been reborn after you have had an epiphany. Although you have liberated your thoughts, you still have a long way to go before you can turn your thoughts into real power.” “Okay, but   I When I was in the hospital or factory, what was the sudden burst of power that made me burst out?” Li Anping did not delve into Hei’s words, but then asked the question that interested him: “I feel that in that state, I would be stronger than I am now. As a result, my body has grown bigger. And not just in breasts, but in all aspects. It seems like there is a voice in my mind telling me what I should do.” Hei replied: “When I eat people,   I You can choose to use the energy to strengthen your body or store it. When the energy is stored, it can heal the patient at critical moments, or it can explode your potential and enhance your physical fitness. So the more energy you store, the more energy you can explode and heal. The harder it is to be killed.   Just like in the factory just now, you ate a total of 34 people, and I helped you store the souls of 10 people. Even if your head is cut off, you can still be cured by pressing it back with your hands. . But as you become stronger and stronger, and the quality of your body is getting higher and higher, more and more energy will be needed to treat your injuries. It’s   not enough for so many people. It’s a pity that you gave up so much fresh food. Meat.” Hei’s tone was full of regret.   ”I will not eat human flesh.” Li Anping frowned: “And I will only eat the souls of those who deserve it. So when absorbing souls, how do you choose to strengthen the body or store it?” “You know, they have   already It’s in your mind.” Hei said: “Compared to memories, it’s just that you subconsciously chose to talk to me to get this part of the memory.” Li Anping ignored him, just thought about it, and sure enough he understood   how Use energy to strengthen yourself and store energy.   ”There’s something else I’m very concerned about.” In the streets late at night, shadows slowly emerged in Li Anping’s mind: grandma, Anna, Wei Shishi, Shang Zhenbang… “The people who were sent to the hospital to kill me that   day , are also people with abilities? Are there many people in the world who have abilities?” ”   I advise you to give up your plan for revenge for the time being and accumulate your own strength first. The forces you have to fight against are very strong, and it’s not just Chang Zheng. Ordinary people. If you want revenge, the police and even the army may become your enemies.”   Hei saw through Li Anping’s thoughts at a glance and persuaded: “And you are not the only one in this world who has the ability. According to my intelligence, among you humans , there are not a few strong people with abilities. I heard that they divide ability users into ten levels. Now you, I don’t think you are even at the first level.”   Hei’s words were beyond Li Anping’s expectation. He had never expected that. In the seemingly peaceful world, there is such a terrible fact hidden underneath.   He can now kill more than 30 big men in the factory who licked blood from their blades, yet he is actually the bottom among those with abilities?   ”But it doesn’t matter.” Seeing Li Anping’s shocked look, Hei laughed: “As long as you make good use of my abilities, keep eating people to strengthen yourself, and accept my training, it won’t take long for you to become The strongest person in the world.”   ”Training?” Li Anping suddenly stopped in the alley, and unknowingly, a pair of greedy eyes were staring at his face.   In the alley, four gangsters surrounded Li Anping and looked at him maliciously.   ”Hand over your wallet, bank card, and bank card password.”   ”Boy, I advise you not to think too hard, otherwise you will get a few holes in your body.” One of the yellow hairs took out a handful of butterflies. Dao said.   When he saw the other party taking out a knife, a cold light flashed in Li Anping’s eyes.   Because after taking out the knife, the meaning of the incident was completely different.   At the same time, Hei’s laughter rang in his mind: “Yes, now is the first lesson, kill them.”   A few seconds later, screams and begging for mercy sounded in the darkness. This night, in the The city is destined to become different.
