Supreme Evolution

Here They Come [III]

Are there really zombies coming?

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and turned their eyes towards downstairs. They saw many swaying black shadows appearing outside the barbed wire used to isolate the danger.

These dark shadows were all dressed in rags, with dark green faces, skinny bodies, and terrifyingly ferocious looks.

Following the trend of the spreading fog, they were approaching the barbed wire, step by step. Some had already reached the edge of the barbed wire, stretching out their rotten claws and scratching at the wire aimlessly. What's worse, some even opened their dirty big mouths and started gnawing on the metal wire on the isolation net.

The thick fog was slowly approaching, and the number of zombies hiding in the fog was also slowly increasing. 

At first, there were only two or three, but gradually, the number began to grow to ten, fifteen, and twenty...

"Damn it, why did so many zombies appear all of a sudden!"

"Could it be that what Ryan said is true?"

Looking at the zombies in the depths of the fog and still approaching the isolation net, the faces of the people present changed again.

The apocalypse had lasted for so long that they had of course encountered zombies many times. In fact, almost everyone in the entire gathering point had experience fighting zombies, but the appearance of so many zombies at once was extremely rare, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"There are many..." Now, even Wallace's expression changed, and he subconsciously glanced at Ryan.

But Ryan had no time to pay attention to him. At this time, he had already found a suitable observation point and was also silently staring at the zombies that continued to pour in downstairs.

These damn creatures that walked crookedly and seem to have no offensive power were the biggest challenge facing humanity after the apocalypse.

Every zombie that smelled the human scent would become extremely crazy in an instant, and there were so many human survivors in the gathering point. With so much human scent concentrated in the air, it was likely that the bloodthirsty genes in the hearts of these zombies had already been ignited.

The zombies were constantly gathering and their movements were getting faster and faster. 

More than twenty zombies came to the isolation net together, stretched out their rotten claws, and shook the protective fence used to isolate the danger, while making gnawing roars.

Before long, these guardrails began to shake wildly because they could not withstand the damage from the zombies. Judging from the situation, they would fall down soon.

"Damn it, everyone, get ready, everyone, grab your weapons!" Finally, someone couldn't sit still anymore. 

With a cry of surprise, almost all the survivors began to look for weapons, grabbing steel pipes, sticks, machetes and other weapons in their hands, and gathered together again, looking at the zombies nervously.

The atmosphere was becoming more and more depressing. Under the dark night, the thick fog was accelerating. In the depths of the fog, there were more zombies walking unsteadily, gradually approaching.

"No, there were too many zombies. Our isolation network wouldn't hold up at all. We must spread out and guard all entrances and exits to prevent the zombies from breaking into our habitat!" Wallace came to the crowd with a trepidation and began to arrange the defense. At the same time, he fixed his eyes on Ryan, who was acting alone, and whispered, "Ryan, you are also a member of this gathering point. Now the zombie tide is here, you should help out."

"What do you want me to do?" Ryan responded without even turning his head, his eyes still fixed on the downstairs.

"I want you to form a team with Martin, Lucas and others to be responsible for the defense of the back door. Once you see the zombies, you must immediately eliminate them. Is that okay?"

"No, the back door is too dangerous. There is no isolation net there at all. It is impossible for Ryan and his men to guard it!" Without waiting for Ryan to give an answer, Yasmin immediately stood up and shook his head repeatedly.

"You're wrong." The corner of Wallace's mouth twitched slightly, and he seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with Yasmin's words. He turned around, looked at Ryan, and then said. "Ryan was able to dislocate Lucas's arm easily, which shows that his combat ability is quite strong. I also distribute tasks according to everyone's abilities. Any more objections?"

Wallace had always been brooding over Ryan's miraculous survival and drastic change in personality. He really couldn't understand why this guy suddenly became like this. He made this designation deliberately to test Ryan's ability.

But Yasmin didn't know what Wallace was thinking. She paused and was about to say something when she heard Ryan's cold response, "Okay, I'll take care of the back door. You just need to guard the front door."

After saying that, Ryan stood up silently and walked straight to the back door of the gathering point.

"What's wrong with this guy? Why is he so cooperative this time?"

Seeing Ryan agreed so readily, everyone was surprised.

Although the back door was narrow, it did not have barbed wire or any other obstruction. Asking Ryan to guard the back door is simply a death sentence.

Yasmin was also shocked for a moment, thought for a moment, and stomped her feet again, "Hey, Ryan, wait a minute, there is no barricades at the back door, it's too dangerous for you guys to go there by yourselves, why don't you just... let me go with you."

Ryan, who had already walked halfway, stopped on his track, feeling a little surprised.

In fact, Ryan knew very well that Wallace arranged him to guard the back door in order to settle personal grudges, but he didn't care about it. After all, he was different now. As long as he didn't face a large number of zombies at the same time, self-protection would not be a big problem.

But he never thought that Yasmin would take the initiative to step forward at this time and offer to help him guard the back door. Wasn't ’t she Wallace’s girlfriend? Why was she trying to protect him?

Not to mention Ryan, even Wallace, who was arranging tasks, was visibly stunned. He looked at Yasmin in astonishment, "You want to go too?"

"Well, the back door is too dangerous. Ryan and his men alone can't guard it. I can help at least a little bit." Yasmin acted decisively. He grabbed a fire axe and strode towards the back door.

"You... okay." Wallace's face looked ugly, but due to the situation, he had to swallow his words back. However, his anger towards Ryan became deeper.

In addition, there were more and more zombies outside the gathering point, and many zombies had begun to dismantle the isolation net. Everyone felt a tense and oppressive feeling, and no longer cared about the little conflict just now. They all took action and prepared for defense.

After a while, Ryan, led by Yasmin, arrived at the back door of the gathering point.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Yasmin began to prepare for defense. She closed all the air vents very skillfully and guarded the passage with an axe.

Ryan, who followed closely, looked at Yasmin's back with suspicion. Just as he was about to say something, Yasmin spoke first, "Ryan, can you tell me why you deliberately provoked Wallace?"

"Probably for leaving me behind?." Ryan was slightly surprised, then smiled and shook his head. He did intend to provoke Wallace in order to distance himself from the others and find a place with fewer people to complete the trial. After all, he didn't want to reveal his strength too early.

Yasmin certainly didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that Ryan still looked nonchalant, she immediately came over aggressively and glared at him fiercely, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?. You know Wallace's character better than that."
