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 successfully approach the zombie leader, five smaller zombies came one after another and surrounded him.

The ferocious fangs and the twisted, foul-smelling mouth were less than ten meters away from him.

"There are too many of them surrounding him. Let's help him." Yasmin's face changed immediately. Although she didn't like Ryan's attitude towards her, they were colleagues for several years after all. She couldn't bear to see him die in vain just to attract the attention of the zombie leader.

However, Wallace coldly rejected Yasmin's plea, "No, he volunteered to attract the zombies' attention. It's on him if he fails. Why should we stress about him?"

"But……" Yasmin looked helpless. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Wallace's voice. 

"Yasmin, you promised me that it's going to be me and you against the world. Why are you always so concerned about this guy, an outsider?"

Looking at Wallace's face which had turned serious, Yasmin felt conflicted again. She was at a loss as to how to start the conversation.

While the two were whispering, the small zombies had already surrounded Ryan from all directions. Although there are only five of them, these five guys who stayed with the Brood Corpse seemed to be much more powerful than their peers in terms of agility and strength.

With a swishing sound, a zombie leaped towards Ryan’s neck. The zombies smelled the food and changed their usual dull and stiff behavior, pouncing from the sides in an instant.

Ryan didn't hesitate at all. He rolled over and dropped to the ground, pressing his body against the grass. The zombie missed and jumped past Ryan from behind. A strong wind accompanied by a strong stench swept past the back of Ryan's neck, making him cringe in disgust.

After dodging the attack, he swung his hand back and the wooden rod hit the monster that was attacking him accurately. It was a judgment made entirely based on instinct.

With the sound of bone snapping somewhere on the zombie's body, a loud scream was heard. But Ryan didn't stop. After rolling on the ground, he stood up quickly, and jumped towards another direction.

There were more than one zombies attacking him. Although Ryan knocked one down with a backhand swing of his wooden stick, his fearless fighting style made another zombie pounce on him without hesitation.

Although this undead was short in stature, he was faster than his peers. The flexible attack method was devastating.

Ryan didn't even need to look. He suddenly turned his arm, swung the iron rod, and jabbed it directly through the guy's neck.

At the same time, the third zombie came. Ryan roared, turned the iron stick with force, and blocked the zombie's claws. But this zombie's momentum was more powerful than its companions. 

It stepped on the corpses of its two companions and used its body as a weapon. It rammed into their bodies, and the huge inertia of the impact forced Ryan to fall to the ground again. Its mouth full of fangs quickly enlarged in front of his eyes, looking eerie and terrifying.

"Get out!" Ryan's back was already close to the ground, and he had lost the chance to dodge. So he simply turned the iron rod horizontally and stuffed it into the zombie's mouth.

The zombie bit without any hesitation, but the moment his sharp teeth bit down, a pus-like smell of rust gushed out.

Ryan's face turned grim, and he took the opportunity to jump up, kicked the monster on his waist away, and then used his elbow to hit the undead's waist hard. The huge force knocked the third zombie away.

Such swift efficiency and killing power immediately made Wallace, who was lying in the distance waiting for the good show, look more and more complicated.

Ryan took a deep breath and roared, exerting strength from his waist and abdomen, and bounced up along the ground. He dodged the attack from the fourth zombie in succession, spun his body, and took the initiative to create some distance between them.

His movements were not slow at all. His body was very flexible and explosive, and he easily avoided the siege of many zombies. This kind of combat power display also made Wallace feel threatened.

However, after two seconds of stagnation and silence, Wallace smiled again, and said with a vicious look on his face, "No wonder this guy dared to oppose me in public, and took the initiative to run out to attract the attention of the zombie leader. It seems that he was lucky to somehow become a deviant..."

In Wallace's opinion, it was a bit of luck that Ryan could become a person with special powers. If he knew how to be patient and kept hiding among the survivors, he might become a strong man in the future.

"Unfortunately, this guy chose the most absurd way to behave. Not long after his breakthrough, he provoked the zombie leader, a mutation that he absolutely cannot afford to provoke. It seems that he has already waited for me to take action." Thinking of this, Wallace shook his head indifferently and his mood became much better.

And the fact was indeed as Wallace had expected. Although Ryan fought and retreated, after killing three zombies in a row, the undead that attacked him by surprise were pressing forward step by step, making it difficult for him to cope.

By the time the fourth and fifth zombies attacked, Ryan's life had become seriously threatened. At this time, he was already a little out of breath. 

The continuous fighting had caused him physical exhaustion, which continued to manifest itself in the head-on fight.

A primary deviant with only one-star combat power, even if he managed to kill five zombies, it would become very difficult to continue. He would be completely unable to face the advanced zombie.

The only two remaining zombies joined forces and engaged Ryan in close combat. He used all his strength to fight off the fourth zombie, but was pounced on from the front by the last zombie, with its ferocious mouth less than five centimeters away from his neck.

Ryan had no choice but to hug the zombie with all his strength, before locking the zombie in his arms. Then he locked his legs, wrapped his left hand around the zombie's head, and twisted it to the right with all his strength.

There was a crackling sound of bones popping, and the fifth zombie's neck was also broken.

He was able to fight head-on and kill five zombies at the same time without any damage, which was enough to prove his amazing fighting power. However, correspondingly, it also consumed a lot of physical energy.

The really scary thing was that before Ryan could wipe off sweat from his forehead and take a breath, the zombie leader standing not far away shifted his bloody pupils and stared at Ryan coldly.

In an instant, Ryan's heart tightened and he took a real defensive stance. He knew very well that the five zombies before were just appetizers, and this second-level undead was the real threat.

    A mere human, a walking food, actually defeated five of his men in a row? Moreover, these five zombies were the most elite ones in the entire zombie tide.Graaaaaaaargh! Human-like rage soon burst out from the zombie leader. It was obvious that this guy had evolved to the point where he had a certain level of thinking ability. When he felt the threat posed by the human in front of him, the zombie leader finally got angry and decided to take action himself.It slammed the ground with its paws, and its body leaped three meters like a heavy catapult, charging towards Ryan.The giant brood corpse, which was over two meters tall, looked like an oversized muscular man, while Ryan was relatively thin. Standing in front of his bloated body, Ryan looked as fragile as a bean sprout.But the two disproportionate figures just happened to collide with each other, and it was a head-on collision without any dodge.The zombie leader swung his sharp claws, bringing up a strong wind slide.

    After saying this, Yasmin jumped up without any hesitation, gritted her teeth, and headed towards the direction where Ryan was being chased."Yasmin, what..." Wallace's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out to stop her, but he was still a beat too slow and failed to grab Yasmin's arm. He could only watch the woman he loved run away from him. "Damn it, Yasmin. He's just a guy with no family background, why are you giving him your attention?"Finding that his attempt to stop her was ineffective, Wallace's face instantly turned as cold as a piece of ice, and the hatred in his eyes spread like flame. He said viciously in his heart: If that's the case, Yasmin, then this guy must die. Just because you treat him like this!"At this time, Yasmin had already run far away, so naturally she couldn't hear what Wallace was saying behind her. She mustered up her courage and soon came to a place not far from Ryan. Seeing Ryan, who looked extremely pathetic as he was chased around by

    "Damn you, bastard, I'm gonna kill you!" Looking at the wailing burly figure, Yasmin stopped completely, thinking back to the people she knew who had died tragically in the warehouse, and Ryan, who had just been punched away by the monster in order to save her, and a strong hatred burst out from her clear eyes.As a woman, especially a woman with extremely great looks, Yasmin was accustomed to enjoying how guys chase after her and almost never considered using violence in her life. But when the end of the world came and she witnessed a large number of her companions die tragically in the hands of the zombies, her character also changed imperceptibly.Perhaps it was Ryan's experience that brought her a strong stimulation. At this moment, she actually forgot about her fear of monsters. She grabbed the fire axe on the ground, gritted her teeth again, and rushed towards the zombie leader with a crazy look on her face. "Die!" She ran very fast, and soon she closed the distance with the zom

    The moment he took the body-enhancing potion, a warm current swept through his body. The huge medicinal power was absorbed by his body and transmitted to his limbs and bones, bringing a slight numbing and itchy feeling to his body, while also quickly making up for the damage caused by his previous battle.However, the speed of physical recovery this time was far slower than last time. After all, during the previous battle, Ryan only used up his physical energy but did not suffer any serious damage.But this time, his internal organs were almost all smashed into puddles by the zombie leader. No matter how powerful the body-enhancing potions were, it was impossible to completely repair his injuries in a short period of time.Fortunately, the medicinal properties of the body-enhancing potion were really good. Although they could not fully restore Ryan's health in the short term, they at least stabilized his injuries and repaired his damaged internal organs to a certain extent. At the sam

    The wild laughter stopped abruptly. Wallace, who was immersed in joy, trembled all over. He turned back in disbelief and fixed his eyes on a cold and numb face. His facial features suddenly became petrified, revealing an expression as if he had seen a ghost. "Why aren't you dead yet? I just saw you being..."Wasn't this guy killed by the monster?"If I don't act more realistically, how can you fall into my trap?" Looking at Wallace's dull, and petrified face, Ryan gave him a smile that was cold and cruel.He was indeed seriously injured in the fight with the zombie leader, and almost died of his injuries. Fortunately, the body-enhancing potion brought him back from the brink of death.Since he was not dead, the person who had to die must be him, Wallace.With apowerful snap, Ryan exerted force on the five fingers he placed on Wallace's shoulders. As his shoulder blades broke, Wallace's hands immediately fell limply, and a shrill scream resounded throughout the open-air parking lot. "A

    It has been three months since the apocalypse broke out, but during these three months, Ryan had been hiding deep in the shelter of the warehouse. Except for occasionally going out to find some food, he had been completely cut off from the outside world. He had no idea what the world outside the shelter was like.Seeing that Ryan seemed to agree, Yasmin struck while the iron was hot and said, "Ryan, I know that you are a deviant now, and you're quite strong, but you are only one person after all. Killing Wallace will put you at odd with his family. How do you plan getting out of that kind of trouble?""Don't tell me you're worried about me." Ryan looked at Yasmin indifferently and sneered, "Why do I have the feeling that you said this on purpose just to save him?""What I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself. In the past few days, while he was taking people out to look for supplies, he was also trying to find a way to contact his family."Seeing that Ryan didn't beli

    "Are you worred about me?" However, facing Ryan's persuasion, Yasmin showed an extremely disgusted face and said in a cold tone, "Not long ago, I promised Wallace that as long as I am out of danger here, I will date him."But Ryan killed Wallace directly in front of her. Now she only had hatred towards Ryan, so how could she possibly listen to his advice?“I see…” Ryan nodded silently, sighed again, and quickly retracted his gaze and said, "You are not thinking about how to avenge Wallace, are you?""Oh, are you scared?" Yasmin raised the corner of her mouth and showed Ryan a cold smile, "If you are afraid of my revenge, you might as well kill me here. That shouldn't be a problem for someone as cold-blooded as you anyway."Ryan did not respond to that, but just shook his head silently, "Well, since you insist on staying here, I will not persuade you anymore. After all, I still have many important things to deal with. I guess this is where we say our goodbyes. I wish you good luck in ev

    Zombie crystal cores, as the purest and most effective source of energy in the apocalypse, are sought after by almost all deviants with special abilities.Unfortunately, there were not too ways to obtain them, and ordinary zombies simply cannot form it, especially this kind of high-specification white crystal, which was one in ten thousand. Even if one killed hundreds of zombies, one might not be able to get a single one.But the arrangement of fate was so ingenious.In the battle last night, Ryan not only killed many zombies and obtained ordinary spiritual veins, but also, with the help of the evolution system, he obtained the white crystal that ordinary deviant dreamed of.Without much hesitation, Ryan opened his mouth wide and forced the thumb-sized crystal core in his hand into it.The white crystal with an icy luster was like a boiling hot stream, almost melting in his mouth.

    Ryan didn't seem to care about the looks these people gave him. He just shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. You help me and I help you. We each get what we need. Just consider it an equal exchange."Ryan had always been a straightforward person. Since he had accepted the help of others, he must pay corresponding compensation. This was one of his creeds in life.Besides, with his current physical strength, he was no longer so easily injured, and he also had another set of magic potion on his body that was a hundred times more powerful than antibiotics. Naturally, a few antibiotics were not worth anything to him."Haha, thank you so much, fella." Yolanda had never thought that she would be rewarded so richly because of her unintentional act of kindness, so she couldn't wait to hold the antibiotics in her hands, showing gratitude to Ryan, and was so excited that she almost jumped up.Ryan shook his head and said, "It's the least I could do. Can we be on our way?""Yes, let's rol

    "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
