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, "What?"

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, he had no right to ask anyone to risk their life to save him.

But how could he explain taking advantage of him by kicking him from behind into a zombie swarm?

Ryan was not satisfied with Wallace's answer, but Wallace was obviously too nonchalant to give a more specific answer. He just glanced at him lightly and then said in a normal tone,

"It's a good thing that you came back alive. Don't worry about the insignificant details. It's just a minor misunderstanding."

"In that case, it seems that I am too unreasonable!" Ryan had been sneering secretly, but he was not prepared to show his inner thoughts. He just looked away with an expressionless face.

Although he still couldn't understand why Wallace was targeting him, he couldn't just let this matter go. It was just because of the survival challenge that was about to follow that he did not take action.

Wallace didn't intend to pay any more attention to Ryan. After giving two fake smiles, he led the others straight to the third floor of the warehouse.

As a genuine deviant, Wallace has a very high status here. He was too unbothered to pay attention to, and there was no need to pay attention to, someone who could do nothing. Even if he was clearly targeting Ryan, what could the guy do about it? He had long been accustomed to being arrogant, and was sure that this timid guy would not dare to do anything to him.

And that was indeed the fact. Looking at Wallace walking towards the third floor with a swagger, Ryan just looked at him coldly without saying a word or shouting to stop him. In his heart, he had been thinking about another thing, which was how to make good use of this guy's abilities to help him complete his first apocalyptic task in order to gain more experience points.

On the second floor of the warehouse, there were more than twenty rooms separated by wooden boards, which were where the survivors usually sleep.

Ryan also had a similar room, and it occupied a good location, right next to the window on the second floor, making it convenient for him to observe the environment outside the warehouse at any time.

He wanted to return to the small room as soon as possible and keep a close eye on the zombies' actions, but when he arrived at the door of the room, he found that all his personal belongings had been thrown to the corner of the room, on the ground.

Instead, someone occupied his bed, and even the daily necessities that he had saved up with great difficulty showed signs of having been used by others.

"Who did this?" Looking at the messy bedding, Ryan narrowed his eyes again. Before he could react, a shameless laugh came from behind him.

"Ryan, I'm sorry. When you didn't come back yesterday, everyone thought you were dead. So I..."

"So you took my bed without permission?" Ryan turned back angrily and looked at Lucas who followed closely. He suppressed his anger, took a deep breath and said, "Do you think this is a good behavior?"

Lucas had a greasy face, not only did he not feel guilty at all, but he also relied on someone's support and said with a sly smile, "Why are you blaming me? Who knows you'll come back alive? Besides, is it mu fault for taking your bed. It was approved by Wallace. You have lived here for three months, so you should know who is the boss of this warehouse, don't you?"

Damn, it was this Wallace again! Ryan didn't say anything, but stared at Lucas's disgusting face silently, frowning.

Indeed, ever since Wallace was the first to complete his evolution and became the only deviant in this gathering point, he had enjoyed absolute say here. How the acquired materials were distributed and how the floors and rooms were all arranged by him.

Of course, there have been people who have tried to resist. As for the fate of resistance, it was self-evident...

On the surface, Wallace was a handsome, vibrant, and elegant person with a particularly generous personality who was willing to seek other people's opinions. But anyone who expressed a different opinion from his own would disappear for no reason during the search for supplies, just like himself yesterday.

The past events reappeared in his mind one by one. He glanced at Lucas and said calmly, "Now that I'm back, can you please take your things, and leave my room, now?"

Arrogantly, Lucas continued to put on that indignant face, put his hand on Ryan's shoulder, and said with a fake smile, "I don't think that's a good idea. I moved here with Wallace's instructions. Why don't you go and discuss it with Wallace yourself? As long as he agrees to let you live in, I will..."

"It's my room, it's not anyone else's turn to make the decision, take your dirty hands off me!" This time, without waiting for Lucas to finish his boastful words, Ryan suddenly turned around, firmly grabbed Lucas's wrist, and twisted it hard.

With a snapping sound, Lucas's wrist was dislocated, and he immediately cried out in pain, "Aaaargh..."

This man, who was as big as a bear, didn't even see Ryan's movements clearly, but he felt a sharp pain in his wrist and let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

Ryan released his hand at the right time and looked down at Lucas. "You'll be fine..."

    Ryan's words left the young woman momentarily speechless.She stood still, trying to piece together what had happened before she lost consciousness. Her memories did indeed end at the entrance to Hunter Village.She glanced out the window. The midday sun was so fierce that the ground outside seemed to shimmer in the blinding light.Only then did she begin to believe Ryan's explanation."Really...?"She asked tentatively."Otherwise, what do you think happened?"Ryan pointed toward the basin of water near her feet. She was standing so close that another step would have sent it tumbling over."Sorry!"The evidence was undeniable. She had suffered heatstroke and collapsed at the village entrance, only to attack the very people who had rescued her.The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. Her face flushed, and she hardly knew where to look."Forget it. We shouldn't have crowded around you like that in the first place."Ryan wasn't particularly bothered. As long as n

  • 792. The Visitor

    Several days had passed since Hunter Village was named a model village, and as time went by, the villagers' enthusiasm for the honor gradually faded.During the first few days, villagers would gather at the entrance of Ryan's research institute to examine the plaque hanging on the gatepost. They would praise Ryan's achievements, occasionally mention Mr. Wallace, and leave with satisfied smiles.For some reason, ever since Hunter Village had received the model village title, Mr. Wallace had become noticeably more humble and composed. Whenever villagers praised him, he would simply chuckle without launching into the long-winded speeches he used to give.Ryan vaguely sensed that something had begun to change behind the scenes after the village received the honor.As the weather grew hotter, the villagers rarely ventured onto the roads during the day. They no longer needed to worry much about their farmland, either. As long as Ryan's irrigation system remained operational, the crops would

I've applied your established name replacements throughout, including Li Chen → Ryan, Li Qian/Xiaoqian → Lindsey, Zhang Xinyi → Cindy, Wang Xu/Secretary Wang → Mr. Wallace, Secretary Zhao → Mr. Zachary, and Lijia Village → Hunter Village. Chapter 5: Hunter Village's First Honor To Ryan's surprise, only one of the newly unlocked technologies was available for research. Central Control Terminal. "What exactly is this?" Ryan asked, looking at the sole available option. The system promptly explained. The Central Control Terminal was the primary interface responsible for managing all technologies. Once a technology had been successfully developed, the terminal would allow Ryan to make various adjustments to its functions and settings. However, developing the terminal required a new research institute. Furthermore, computer-related technologies had to

He had no idea when she had arrived."Lindsey, this isn't a game. This stuff is genuinely difficult to understand."Although Ryan warned her, he still allowed her into the laboratory. Since everyone else was at a loss, letting her take a look couldn't hurt.With his permission, Lindsey hurried over to Cindy's computer and squeezed in front of the screen.The code was indeed complicated, but to Lindsey, it didn't seem quite as intimidating as everyone made it out to be. It was more like a foreign language she hadn't fully learned yet."Lindsey, you've been staring at the screen for a while without saying anything. Have you noticed something?" Ryan asked.Lindsey finally turned toward him."Brother Ryan, I'd like to give it a try."She stretched out her hands and p

  • 791. A Place to Stay

    Chapter 3: A Place to StayLindsey settled into Ryan's research institute that very evening.Ryan casually chose an empty laboratory for her to stay in. The laboratory itself wasn't important; what mattered was the small room attached to it. It had a bed and everything she needed to spend the night comfortably.Ryan's new research institute had no shortage of rooms. What it lacked was researchers. Giving Lindsey a place to stay was hardly a problem.After making sure she was settled, Ryan returned to his own laboratory and continued working on his research. He worked late into the night, only dragging himself to bed when exhaustion finally overcame him.The next morning, a hesitant knock at the laboratory door woke him.The knocking came in fits and starts, as though whoever stood outside wasn't sure whether to disturb him.Ryan jumped out of bed, hurriedly ran his fingers through his disheveled hair, and went to open the door.Two unexpected visitors stood outside: Lindsey's parents.

    Chapter 2: A Runaway GirlSummer evenings were much cooler than the scorching days. As the sun slowly sank below the horizon, a gentle breeze swept through Hunter Village, carrying away the day's heat.Ryan and Jonas were taking a leisurely walk around the village when they heard a commotion coming from a nearby house.“Look at your grades! How can you possibly explain this?” a middle-aged man shouted angrily. “All you do is sit in front of that computer. Why can't you learn something useful instead?”“That's enough!” a woman added. “Look at Ryan. He's so young, yet he's already accomplished so much. And what about Brady? He didn't even finish high school, but he taught himself everything he needed to become a researcher. Why can't you learn from him?”“I can't do it!” a girl's voice screamed from inside the house. “I've tried, but I just can't learn those things! Why won't you leave me alone?”“Look at the way you're talking to us!” the man roared.A loud crash followed, as though so
