Supreme Evolution

14. Ideas And Strategies

Haha, so this guy.can take the initiative to ask me for advice? 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 too selfish."

"Yeah, in such a dangerous situation, what else is there to think about?"

The survivors were talking at once, all standing on Wallace's side, condemning Ryan's indifferent behavior, but Ryan didn't care at all. He shrugged his shoulders, his face still relaxed and at ease. He looked around coldly and said, "Aren't you usually quite brave? Why do you think of relying on me now that you are in danger?"

Although normal zombies were powerful as a group, they were formed through human mutation after all, and their actual singular combat power was even worse than that of a normal person. If fighting alone, a healthy adult male could at least fight off two zombies at the same time.

In addition, the narrow terrain of the stairs was not conducive to large-scale movement of zombies. As long as these people hold on to the stairs, they could force the zombies back at the lowest cost.

What's more, these zombies had a fatal flaw, which was that they were naturally not fond of the scorching sunlight.

"Anyway, as long as we can hold on until the next day, when the sun rose up, the zombies would become slow in movement due to exposure to natural light, and would eventually have no choice but to evacuate the area."

A man immediately retorted, "No, it's only one in the morning, and there are still five or six hours before dawn. With just a few of us left, we can't hold out for that long!"

Ryan sneered, "Then there is only the second option left."

"What is that?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Even Wallace couldn't help but prick up his ears, waiting for Ryan's next words.

Seeing that this group of people had already fallen into his plan, Ryan couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He looked at Wallace calmly and asked a question.

"Have you ever thought that in the first three months after the apocalypse, most zombies acted alone. Even if there were signs of groups occasionally, the number was pitifully small, rarely exceeding twenty. But why was it that this time, the gathering point was besieged by more than a hundred zombies?"

After these words were spoken, not only Wallace was stunned, but everyone around him also fell into deep thought.

Yes, although these low-level zombies were brutal, most of them were brainless creatures and do not know how to work as a team. It was rare to see a group attack like today.

Wallace couldn't figure out the key point, so he shook his head impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say? Can you please stop keeping me in suspense?"

"Okay, I'll just go straight to the point then." Ryan's face was frozen, and he spoke word by word, "The reason why these zombies know how to work as a team is because a higher level zombie is directing the group. This guy became their leader. It was under his leadership that these ordinary zombies attacked us purposefully."

What, a higher level zombie?

Hearing Ryan's words, everyone's face changed drastically, including Wallace's, which twitched violently.

If humans could gain greater powers through evolution, and so could zombies. In fact, as early as the second month after the apocalypse, some people observed that zombies could actually evolve.

A zombie that was about to complete its evolution would first form a "gray crystal" in its body, and then accumulate all the energy within the gray crystal. When the energy accumulated in the gray crystals reached a certain level, it would complete an evolution.

The destructive power and destructiveness of the second-level zombies formed after evolution would then increase exponentially. Even Wallace, a deviant, was no match for any of them.

Ryan continued with a smile, "My second solution is to leave some of us here to guard this staircase, and then send out the ones among us with stronger combat capabilities to go behind the zombie tide, sneak attack and kill the zombie leader. Those are my ideas."

"God……" Hearing this, Wallace's eyelids twitched again. He couldn't be sure how powerful the zombie leader was, but the fact that he could command so many ordinary zombies was enough to tell that he was no ordinary second-level zombie.

The last idea was too risky. Even with his ability, Wallace didn't have the courage to accept it easily.

Ryan naturally saw Wallace's worry, and deliberately provoked him with words, "If you are afraid, then we can continue to stay here and wait for dawn. However, facing the siege of so many zombies, whether we can hold on until dawn is also something to consider."

"Who said I was scared?" Wallace, who always loved to show off, immediately replied with a gloomy face, "Your suggestion is fine, but... the zombie leader is too powerful, I can't deal with him alone, I need some help."

After saying that, Wallace shifted his gaze and began searching among the many survivors.

Anyone who came into his sight broke out in a cold sweat and hid in the others with fear on their faces.

What a joke! Dealing with the most common level one zombies was enough to give them a headache, let alone facing level two zombie, which would be tantamount to seeking death.

These ordinary people didn't have the courage to stand up and they all lowered their eyes, fearing that they would be called by their names by Wallace.

Ryan saw everything. Looking at this group of cowards, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. These guys who didn't have the courage to volunteer were indeed not worth saving.

Soon, Ryan noticed Wallace looking at him again. At the same time, he heard Wallace's cold voice. "Well, since you came up with this idea, why don't you come with me and we can work together?"

"Of course." Ryan smiled and agreed readily, but when he turned his face away, the sense of mockery in his heart became even deeper. He had expected Wallace to make such a request, and was waiting for these words.

Wallace obviously didn't know Ryan's true thoughts, and was thinking that Ryan was really a fool who was not afraid of death. He immediately smiled and said. "Okay, then. Don't let us waste any more time."

At this time, Yasmin, who was standing among the other survivors, stood out and raised her hand and said, "I'll go too. More people means more strength."

"You want to go too?" Hearing this, Wallace was stocked again. 

The other survivors also looked at Yasmin with puzzled expression, not understanding what this woman was thinking.
