2025-02-20 15:08:21"What’s wrong with you?" Yasmin seemed to have noticed Ryan's indifference towards her and was surprised for a moment, because Ryan had never treated her this way before.
"It's nothing, I just wandered outside for too long and felt a little tired." Ryan shook his head, still ignoring Yasmin's gaze.
To outsiders, it seemed that he had only gotten separated from the team while searching for food and disappeared for a day.
Only Ryan himself knew that in this short day, he had experienced the entire process from birth to death and from death to birth. Both his mentality and personality had undergone tremendous changes under the pressure of death.
"Okay, since you don't want to talk, then that's fine. Let's go back and hide." Yasmin didn't know why Ryan suddenly became so cold towards her, but because of her pride as a beauty, she also lost the desire to continue the conversation.
In Yasmin's eyes, Ryan was definitely an extremely ordinary person. Just like his name, he had an ordinary family background, ordinary abilities, ordinary looks and height, and ordinary work ability. He was a person from a completely different world from herself.
Just because Ryan once chased after her, and even tried to please her repeatedly, he was able to maintain a seemingly good relationship with her. Of course, all this was based on the premise that he was a drooling dog.
But now, Ryan stopped licking her boots, and his attitude was cold. He was even unwilling to pay attention to her.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Fortunately, there were many survivors on night patrol following Yasmin. Seeing that Ryan, who had disappeared for a day, was found alive, they all came forward enthusiastically to express their concern and happiness.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine." Facing these people's questions, Ryan's attitude was of gratitude but it remained cold. He just nodded indifferently, squeezed through the crowd, and walked towards the gathering point inside the cafeteria.
Ryan would not be like this in the past. Perhaps it was because he had experienced a life-and-death experience that made him tend to be more indifferent.
Soon, he squeezed through the crowd and re-entered the gathering point.
After three months of being a hiding place, the interior space of the cafeteria had also been transformed to a certain extent. The hall on the first floor was used to store groceries and various daily necessities, and there were many survivors guarding them.
The second floor was the living area for the survivors. It was divided into small rooms with wooden boards. Most of the survivors slept upstairs.
As for the third floor of the warehouse, it wss the living area for a small number of important people, including Wallace.
After the end of the world, the survivors were divided into two categories: one was the "deviants" with awakened veins and had the potential for evolution, and the other was the common people with no ability to evolve.
Before the recent events, Ryan's room was also on the second floor, so he subconsciously walked towards the stairs, intending to return to his original room to rest for a while.
In a few hours, a wave of zombies would appear according to his system notification. Although he has completed the initial evolution, his current abilities do not allow him to face a zombie tide independently, so he must come up with a solution as soon as possible and complete the two tasks while ensuring his own safety.
However, just as he stepped onto the stairs and was about to return to the second floor of the warehouse, a fat guy appeared in front of him again, blocking the staircase.
"Ryan, why aren't you dead yet?"
Ryan stopped, looked up, and stared at the person standing on the steps. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he responded indifferently, "Oh, it you, Lucas."
Lucas was also Ryan's former colleague, but their relationship has always been bad. Especially after the apocalypse, this fat guy who once pursued Yasmin like Ryan, actually turned to Wallace in order to survive and became one of his most loyal brothers.
Of course, there were more reasons why Ryan hated him. On the previous day, when he was ambushed by Wallace and kicked into the zombie swarm. The guy closest to Ryan was Lucas. Not only did not help him, but even abandoned him to the zombies and turned around and ran towards Wallace.
Thinking of this experience, Ryan's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Why do all of you seem to wish death on me? Why...?"
"Hey……what do you mean?" Lucas obviously didn't expect Ryan to say that. He was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile from his round face, "How could that be? I'm just curious, how could you have survived those things?"
"Maybe it's just luck." Ryan ignored this guy and said. He was about to continue walking forward, but after taking only two steps, he stopped again.
Just because, in the corridor leading to his room, a tall and familiar figure appeared, which made Ryan narrow his eyes into blades.
It was Wallace!
At this moment, Wallace was surrounded by several "little brothers", walking towards the stairwell with a smile on his face. When he saw Ryan who was left behind, came back, he was obviously shocked for a moment and the smile on his face gradually froze
However, this guy didn't ask Ryan how he got back like the others did. He just froze for a moment, then showed his signature arrogant sneer. "I'm quite surprised that you could make it back."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that I would still be able to return to this place alive either." Ryan was also smiling, but his eyes were narrowed into slits, but his gaze was as sharp as a knife. The murderous intent in his heart kept beating, making him clench his fists tightly. The burning anger was almost devouring his sanity.
Ryan, struggling to hold back his anger, almost pounced on Wallace, but in the end, he still endured it.
Now was not the time to completely turn against Wallace. After all, Wallace was also a deviant, and he had acquired the ability to evolve as early as the first month after the end of the world. Added to that were the minions around him, his little brothers, if there wss a head-on conflict, he would definitely come out worse off.
So he chose to endure it for the time being, just raised his eyes, stared coldly at Wallace, and asked in a hoarse voice. "Why, Wallace?"

Ryan had never been able to figure out what he had done to anger Wallace, even though he was always careful and kind to others, that made him to do such a shady thing to him when they were looking for food?But Wallace did not answer the question directly. Instead, he put on his usual arrogant and playful sneer and asked knowingly, "Why?"Ryan spoke slowly. "You know what you did yesterday afternoon, on the way back...""It was just an accident." Without waiting for Ryan to finish his words, Wallace shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be regretful. "I want to protect everyone, but you know, although I am a deviant, my ability is really limited. It is impossible for me to cover everyone in the face of a zombie tide. I believe you understand the situation, don't you?"When Wallace answered the questions, there was still a faint smile on his face, which made Ryan so disgusted that he wanted to vomit. He could understand that one should retreat in time when facing danger. After all, h

Ryan had always disliked this greasily guy. Before the apocalypse, this guy always relied on his connections in the unit to order him around as a newcomer. Secondly, he had once pursued Yasmin and repeatedly used his position to make things difficult for him.Now, he had even switched to being a minion of Wallace, and continued to act arrogantly and domineeringly, even trying to occupy his bed. Although the bed was small, Ryan couldn't tolerate this tone of humiliation."You lunatic, you broke my hand...!" Lucas's wrist was only dislocated but he squatted on the ground screaming like a pig being slaughtered.His screams quickly attracted a lot of people's attention and soon a large number of people rushed over.The first person to come over was Yasmin. The lady looked at Lucas, who was slumped on the ground and howling like a ghost, and became anxious, "Ryan, how can you be so mean? How can you bully your colleagues?""I didn't bully him." Ryan withdrew his hand indifferently and shrug

The fog was getting thicker. The increasingly thick fog also indicated that danger was about to come.Ryan didn't want to waste any more energy on arguing. Instead, he bent down and silently took out the rod on his back.But Wallace mistakenly regarded this behavior as a provocation. He frowned and said with a surly look, "What, are you planning to challenge me?"As the most powerful person in this gathering point and also a true deviant, Wallace was naturally not afraid of fighting with others. In fact, he had always never looked down on Ryan. This guy who always knew how to accept everything and never wanted to have conflicts with others was basically a weakling in his eyes.But now, Ryan actually dared to show off an iron rod, a weapon with certain lethality, in front of him. Could it be that he had some support and was planning to compete with him for the position of the boss around here?Thinking of this, Wallace looked at Lucas, whose arm had just been reconnected, and even great
Supreme Evolution 8. 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 z
Supreme Evolution 9. Is It Because of Me?
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.Wit
Supreme Evolution 10. Body Enhancement
A zombie on the left quickly approached, opened its ferocious mouth, towards Ryan's neck.Ryan had already heard Yasmin's reminder and had no time to look back, nor did he need to look back.Having already broken through to become a deviant, not only has his strength and explosive power increased exponentially, but his ability to predict the environment has also improved to a certain extent. Just by relying on the slightest sound of the wind around him, he could accurately judge the enemy's attack route.He retracted his neck, bent his legs, and lowered his body, avoiding the attack with great ease. At the same time, he swung the wooden rod and attacked from bottom to top.The sturdy wooden rod accurately hit the zombie's lower abdomen, directly linking it up.The second zombie pounced from the right, extending its slender and sharp claws, and headed straight for Ryan's chest.Ryan still didn't even look at it. He freed his left hand, swung it in an arc, and grabbed the zombie's wrist
Supreme Evolution 11. Why Did I Have To Tell You Anything?
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
Supreme Evolution 12. Chaos In The Warehouse
Yasmin was speechless again.Yes, before the end of the world, Ryan tried so hard to get close to her. Even if they couldn't be lovers, he hoped they could become friends.But what about Yasmin herself?As a beauty that she was, she had always been arrogant and always felt that people around her should unconditionally please her, but she never saw their efforts.What was the point of lingering around a woman like this?"So this is what you really think." 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

"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
65. Just Passing Through
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
64. The Only Way
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
63. Encountering the Wagner's Scumbags
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
62. Entering the Western District of New York City
"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
61. So Long
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
58. When the Doves Cry [III]
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
