This question made Ryan feel a little at a loss.

Yasmin continued, "Tell me the truth, why do you hate Wallace so much? Is it because of me?"

"..." Ryan was speechless for a while. He looked at Yasmin's face, which was charmingly confident, and shook his head helplessly.

Once upon a time, he did feel jealous because Yasmin and Wallace were too close. But that was a long time ago. Faced with such a cruel doomsday environment, Ryan no longer had the energy to care about these matters of love between men and women. It was too childish.

Yasmin continued to ask, "Answer me, is it true or not?"

"It was never because of you...." Ryan responded. Although he felt helpless, he decided to make his words clear. However, before he could finish his words, other survivors following behind the two men exclaimed.

"It's already this late, can't you guys talk about something serious? The zombies are coming soon, can't you see it?"

Ryan stopped and immediately turned his gaze to the crack in the door.

Within a few seconds, several zombies appeared from the direction of the back door. These dirty and ugly monsters had already smelled the aroma of "food" through the crack in the door and were rushing towards here frantically.

"One, two...the number is almost reaching ten!" Ryan counted the number of zombies carefully. Before he could take the next step, he heard a banging sound from the direction of the door, which was bounced up by the huge impact force. "Quick, block the door!"

The other survivors' faces changed drastically, and they quickly used their bodies to hold the door, while yelling to Ryan and Yasmin, "Hurry up and help, this door is not strong enough to withstand the impact of so many zombies."

“We're coming!” The situation was urgent, Yasmin didn't bother to continue questioning Ryan and also joined the team blocking the door.

Only Ryan remained idle, standing there expressionless and motionless. He never thought of locking the zombies outside. After all, the system's trial task was to kill as many zombies as possible, and every zombie killed would eventually be converted into system points.

"Ryan, hurry up and help guard the door!" At this time, the banging sounds outside the door became more and more crazy. Yasmin, Lucas and others could hardly hold the door open, so they all turned to Ryan for help.

Ryan remained indifferent. Seeing this, the fat man Lucas, who had just had a conflict with him, was immediately furious and couldn't help cursing, "You are not scared silly, you coward, you were so majestic just now, you..."

Lucas cursed loudly and wanted to take the opportunity to vent his anger, but the zombies outside the door refused to give him a chance.

The back door could not withstand the impact of so many zombies. With a series of muffled sounds, the door was forced open a crack. A zombie took the opportunity to stretch his dry arm in and grabbed the greasy-faced guy fiercely.

"Aaaargh!" With a scream, blood marks appeared on Lucas's neck, and blood flowed along the wound. The strong smell of blood further stimulated the zombies outside the door.

The zombies roared collectively and banged on the door faster, instantly pushing it open and rushing towards Lucas who had been scratched.

A tragic scene then occurred.

The first zombie to rush in was very small, with shriveled cheeks and blue facial features. Every detail was full of horror. Its dead fish-like eyes were filled with ferocious and cruel light. While making a strange cry, it successfully pounced on Lucas and bit his throat. "Aaaaaargh!"

The high-pitched scream instantly made everyone's hair stand on end.

The zombie bared its sharp teeth, its dirty mouth had great penetrating power, and bit Lucas's neck fiercely. Blood immediately splattered everywhere, staining the entire ground red.

"Ah!" The cruel and bloody scene made Yasmin, who was standing nearby, scream in surprise and hurriedly took two steps back.

At the same time, more zombies rushed in from outside the door, pounced madly on everyone who approached them, and then used their teeth to devour the flesh and blood of the living.

"Help me..." Lucas struggled continuously, blood and screams mixed together. He waved his limbs desperately, trying to throw the zombies off his body. However, his chubby body made his movements very clumsy. He failed after several attempts and was instead targeted by more zombies.

It seemed that the zombies also liked to attack fatter targets. This delicate fat became a gluttonous delicacy for the monsters. In an instant, at least three zombies pounced on Lucas at the same time, and they could bite off a piece of meat from him in one bite.

The incident happened suddenly and no one was able to rescue him.

Just as they were immersed in the moment of their companions being eaten alive by zombies, a thick wooden rod, accompanied by a whistling gust of wind, suddenly came from a distance and smashed heavily into the head of the first zombie.

Ryan turned his arms and concentrated his strength on the strike, shattering the zombie's head. The wooden rod went straight in, piercing into its brain.

[Experience points +2]

"What?!" Yasmin was stunned when she saw Ryan killed the zombie with just one strike. "Why has this guy become so powerful now? Could it be that he..."

The shadow of the stick appeared again, bringing with it a whistling sound in the air. The broken head of the second zombie interrupted Yasmin's guess.

Ryan took action. Before the zombies could gain a firm foothold and focused all their energy on the "food" in their mouths, he burst out with his most powerful strength.

The slender wooden rod was constantly swinging, and every time it whipped, it was accompanied by a whistling sound of wind. There was no need to aim deliberately at all. Every time the wooden rod struck down, it would always hit the most vulnerable part of the zombie's head without deviation.

The enormous force was accompanied by the crisp sound of bones shattering, and Ryan's body turned into a foraging wolf. Whether in speed, agility or physical explosiveness, it was a world of difference from before the evolution.

The zombies that rushed in through the back door died quickly under Ryan's attack. In just a few seconds, four zombies were down.

However, Ryan's attack speed did not slow down at all. The terrifying power of a deviant was gradually revealed. The zombie brains that once required several sticks to smash were like fragile sausage in front of him and shattered with one blow.

Secondly, with the death of several zombies, the evolution system in Ryan's body also sent continuous prompts, indicating that his background points were constantly increasing.

However, although the points increased, the accumulated value did not make Ryan satisfied. Killing the most common zombies could only earn Ryan 2 points at a time. 

Although the zombies were falling one after another, they were still far from the goal. "This system is too bad. Killing a zombie only give me two points. If this continues, when will I be able to exchange for the mystic veins?"

Ryan was waving his long stick while complaining in his heart. At this moment, he heard a frightened shout, "Be careful!"

As the back door was knocked open, the zombies outside seemed to have found a breakthrough and were pouring in one after another. At first, there were only three or five of them, but gradually, seven, eight, and nine appeared. 

These zombies were like the undead who had been injected with chicken blood, and they all pounced on Ryan, who was resisting them fiercely.

    Facing this dying guy, there was no mercy in Ryan's eyes.After all, Lucas was one of Wallace's top associates. A long time ago, he had bullied him many times by taking advantage of his power. Although Ryan chose to endure it at that time, it did not mean that he would forget those conflicts.Lucas was in great pain. A piece of his neck had been bitten off, and his body was covered with scratches of all sizes, but he did not die immediately. His trachea, exposed to the air, was still making labored "ho ho" sounds, as if he was trying hard to breathe, but the air cavity had been completely blocked by blood, and he could not even complete the simplest breathing action.Yasmin was still trying to hold his wound, applying first aid while encouraging him to hold on a little longer. She even turned her gaze to look at Ryan, whose momentum had greatly changed, and pleaded, "Ryan, can you come and help?""We can't save him. It's too late." Ryan didn't say more words. He just lowered his head a

At this moment, Yasmin finally understood why Ryan was so cold to her, and her expression became even more anxious. "It's not what you think. At that time, too many colleagues around me wanted to date me. I couldn't tell who was really thinking about me and who was doing it for my family's wealth. What's wrong with me being cautious?""You are right. How you treat the people around you is your own business." Ryan shook his head and said calmly, "Similarly, it is my right to treat our relationship in any way I want."Yasmin was complete

After hearing Wallace's words, Ryan immediately sneered in his heart, but his face remained expressionless and he shook his head to indicate that he had no other choice.In fact, there were some ways, but Ryan was not willing to reveal his true intentions, and it was even more impossible for him to discuss strategy with his nemesis.His attitude also aroused Wallace's impatience, but facing such a dangerous situation, Wallace still resisted the urge to attack him and said in a gloomy way, "We are in a dire situation. It's time to unite and fight off the enemy together. I know you've always been unhappy with me, but no matter how big our conflict is, we have to wait until everyone is safe before resolving it. Don't you agree?"As expected of Wallace, he labeled Ryan as a narrow-minded person. Many of the survivors watching also gave Ryan urging looks."Ryan, tell us what you think. Our lives are at stake here.""Don't be to

  • Supreme Evolution   15. Minds With Different Thoughts

    For Yasmin, an ordinary person, sneak attacking a level 2 zombie was simply an impossible task. It was more of a suicide mission.After all, she was not a deviant like Wallace. Once the sneak attack failed and the zombie leader reacted, all that awaits Yasmin would be utter destruction and death.But Yasmin didn't care about how everyone was looking at her. Instead, she nodded and insisted, "Yes, I want to go too!"In the eyes of others, participating in Wallace and Ryan’s plan was almost equivalent to frantically looking for death, but in Yasmin’s eyes, perhaps this was the only chance for her to survive.After all, Yasmin had witnessed Ryan's abilities with her own eyes. Although he might not be as good as Wallace, he was not far behind. Following behind them was equivalent to having two deviants protecting her at the same time. Her chances of survival were definitely greater than if she stayed behind."Hey, Yasmin, do you want to reconsider your decision? It's quite dangerous where

    There were simply too many zombies.As time went by, more and more dark shadows with twisted bodies were staggering towards the warehouse.Looking through the thick fog, Ryan looked at the ugly figures in front of him, his heart beating very fast.It now seemed that the number of zombies targeting the gathering point was far more than a hundred. If this continued, even if two more primary deviants come, they would die of exhaustion in the ongoing battle.Wallace also thought of this, his heart trembled violently, and he looked at Ryan and said, "We can't wait any longer. These ordinary zombies should have been drawn by the second-level zombie. Over time, the entire factory area would be occupied by zombies. By then, even those with special abilities would be unable to escape."Although Wallace has a very bad temper and arrogant personality, he was not so stupid. He knew very well that in this environment, their only way out was to defeat the level two zombie.Otherwise, once the people

    Yasmin had always been curious about what Ryan’s purpose was in hiding his strength. It was for this reason that she choose to take the risk and follow them. But the current situation did not allow her to have any conversation with Wallace.Because, the moment Ryan rushed towards the open-air parking lot, the advanced zombie also locked onto his breath in an instant.Graaaaaaaargh! Immediately afterwards, there was an extremely intimidating and explosive roar, and the zombie leader waved his arms, as if summoning something.And with this gesture, five smaller zombies emerged from behind its sturdy body and rushed towards Ryan like lightning.There were actually a few smaller ordinary zombies lying in ambush around this guy.Looking at the undead that suddenly appeared from behind the zombie leader, not only Ryan was caught off guard, but even Yasmin and Wallace, who were hiding behind the bunker in the distance, were shocked.At this time, Ryan was completely exposed. Before he could s

    "Not at all." Faced with the red-haired woman's questioning, Ryan immediately shook his head and stated that he had nothing to do with the Wagner family.If Ryan had any concerns about these fierce-looking guys at the beginning, when he heard the red-haired woman's questioning, these concerns were half dispelled.Obviously, the red-haired woman and the burly men behind her should have nothing to do with the Wagner family, otherwise they would not have asked him in that way.The red-haired woman continued, "If you are not from the Wagner family, then how did you appear here, alone?"Ryan smiled and said, "What about you? You're also here."The woman was stunned by these words, and then she curled her red lips and laughed softly, "Haha, young man, you are really logical but talkative."When both parties were sure that the person opposite them did not belong to the Wagner family, they took the initiative to approach each other.Soon, the red-haired woman asked again, "What's your name an

    While kicking Lennon away, Ryan increased his speed to the limit.At this time, he had successfully advanced to the initial six-star combat power. In addition, his injuries had healed, and both his speed and explosive power had risen to a higher level than before.In the blink of an eye, the world seemed to slow down. The large amount of dexterity points added allowed his speed to be improved in stages. His running speed even exceeded the reaction of ordinary people. In just a blink of an eye, he had already passed the human wall formed by the guards."Damn it, shoot!" Tony was extremely surprised and shouted to the guards at the same time, "We must stop him!"Bang!Bang!Bang!Several gunshots rang out in succession, all aimed at the direction where Ryan was running. The high-speed bullets flew through the air and caught up with Ryan who was running wildly.Obviously, the speed of the bullet breaking through the air was even faster than Ryan's extreme sprint. In an instant, he also f

    Lennon was very angry and felt extremely ashamed.Since joining the Wagner family's guard team, he had been successfully promoted to deputy captain of the team by virtue of his first-class flattery skills.So far, no survivor had dared to embarrass him like this.Ryan's slapping behavior not only made him lose face, but also made the Wagner family felt embarrassed. Usually, people like him would not end up well."Boy, you really want to die! Kill him!"As expected, with Lennon's order, the guards raised their pistols and turned the black muzzles towards him.However, Ryan's movement was faster than anyone else. Before the guns were aimed at him, he had moved, and instantly came in front of Lennon. He gently stretched out his arm and grabbed the man's shoulder. He shook his arm and heard a click. Lennon's arm, which was about to draw the gun, instantly dropped limply."Aaaaaaaargh!" The dislocated shoulder made Lennon scream in pain. Before he could make the next move, Ryan slammed in

    The city blocks were very desolate, especially the areas at the dividing line between two forces, where usually no one passed by. But this young man with a stern face still came, taking lonely steps and walking very steadily on the deserted street.Lennon was stunned for a moment, and the few people who were on guard with guns also showed surprised expressions.This was the Wagner family's sphere of influence. Any outsider couldn't easily cross the isolation zone without the Wagner family's permission. Where did this young man come from? Why was he so ignorant?Soon, Lennon put on a very arrogant face, walked straight up to him and said, "Hey, stop there!"As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan stopped, less than five meters away from Lennon. He looked at the arrogant guard with an indifferent look and said calmly, "Is something wrong?""Where are you from? How did you enter this area without permission? Don't you know that this is the isolation zone of the city center? No outsiders ca

    "Thanks." Facing this man's kind reminder, Ryan immediately smiled, but soon shook his head, "But I'm heading towards the western part of the city."The main purpose of Ryan's return to the city this time was to find his relatives. He had a younger sister named Marilyn, who had been studying at the University of New York before the end of the world, so it was reasonable for him to go to the west of the city to look for her.But after hearing what Ryan said, the middle-aged man advised helplessly, "Then I can only wish you luck. Apart from the undead monsters, you'll have to contend with the extremely dangerous family faction there. They have never been very welcoming to outsiders entering their territory."Ryan immediately asked, "What family, if I may ask?"The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "The Wagner family. You must be well aware of their power. Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, they have begun to recruit soldiers and have formed a very powerful a

    The crystal clear magic pebble was shrouded in a light green light. Although the color was very light and did not seem to have any power, Ryan could clearly sense the powerful energy flowing inside it, which was enough to pose a fatal threat to him."Is this the magic pebble refined using the original power of the shadow vine? How do I use it?" Ryan couldn't wait to hold the magic pebbles and asked questions in his heart.[The magic pebble contains the original power of the shadow vine. When faced with a threat, the master can directly throw it at the opponent and detonate the energy inside. The explosion effect also has a powerful toxin bonus. Even ordinary level 2 creatures may not be able to withstand its damage]So powerful? Ryan was really surprised, and his gaze towards the magic pebble became fiery. If he had obtained these magic pebbles earlier, he wouldn't have had to fight so hard along the way.[Although the power of the magic pebbles is indeed quite good, you can only conj

  • 60. The Heart of the Shadow Vine

    As the shadow vine fell to the ground, Anna's body also fell to the ground because she lost support. She struggled in pain for a few times, still looking at the place where Ryan was standing with a confused look on her face.The shadow vine's body was already dead. At this moment, Ryan's face gradually regained a faint smile. He nodded silently to Anna and said, "You did a good job. I knew that as long as you can muster up the courage, you will definitely be able to create a chance for me to kill the shadow vine.""You...you did this...on purpose?" Anna asked in disbelief. A large amount of toxins were still spreading in the body. Anna opened her mouth as wide as she could but could only make intermittent sounds."Yes!" Ryan smiled and did not hide his plan. Instead, he slowly squatted down and sat in front of Anna's stiff body. He said calmly, "I'm not strong enough to completely kill the shadow vine. I saved you again and again before because I was waiting for the moment when you wo

  • 59. Killing The Shadow Vine

    The blade of the dagger cut through the darkness, bringing out a hint of silver light.In desperation, Anna finally unleashed her potential. She raised the blade and slashed the vine, going straight into the vine an inch. A large amount of dark green liquid splashed out along the cut area and spilled onto Anna's coat.But since Anna's strength and the weapons in her hands were far inferior to Ryan's, so this all-out slash could not completely cut the vines.But she did hurt the shadow vine. The cold dagger blade sank into the vines, causing a hideous wound. The shadow vine, who was originally immersed in pride, suddenly trembled with anger, and the vines wrapped around Anna's legs swung sideways, pulling her delicate body and smashing it hard against the wall."Aaaaaaaargh!" Anna screamed again. The strong impact made her miserable. Her back hurt and large amounts of blood oozed out of her mouth.If it were an ordinary person, after suffering such a heavy blow, he would probably be di

    It was obvious that Ryan intended to use Jeffrey as bait to lure out the injured shadow vine, and then take the opportunity to give it a fatal blow.After all, the shadow vine, like Ryan, had suffered severe consumption in the previous battle, and only one tenth of its combat power remained. Once it appeared, there was a high probability that it would be killed by Ryan.As for Ryan himself, although he was also seriously injured, with the blessing of the body-enhancing potions, his strength recovered faster than the tree monster. As long as the opponent stopped hiding, he had great confidence that he could deal with it.Anna also quickly saw through Ryan's thoughts and said in despair, "Why do you treat him like this?"While gathering his strength, Ryan said coldly, "Before, I really didn't think of treating him in this way, but have you forgotten what this guy did?"If it weren't for the body-enhancing potions provided by the evolution system, which allowed Ryan to curb the toxins in
