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 we are going." Wallace obviously didn't know Yasmin's true thoughts. He coughed pretentiously and was about to persuade her to stay.

But before Yasmin could answer, a humming sound broke through the air once again and interrupted the serenity of the gathering point.

Everyone looked back in horror and saw a beam of ice-blue light tearing through the night sky and flying towards the gathering point at an extremely fast speed.

"What was that, a shooting star?" Everyone was stunned at the same time, staring blankly into the distance.

The ice-blue beam moved like a rocket, or more like a real meteor, and slammed into the place where the fire was burning in the gathering point.

With a booming sound, a huge explosion erupted, and the blue beam of light formed a strong hurricane, which instantly shattered the surrounding glass, accompanied by a huge shock wave that raged and tore apart the wall of fire blocking the zombies.

An icy-blue energy was released, forming an icy storm that continued to spread outwards. Not only were the flames torn apart by the horrific shock wave, but even several zombies not far away from the point were blown into pieces by this sudden explosion.

The aftermath of the explosion continued to spread. Even the people hiding on the stairs fell down one after another screaming because of the impact. Their screams were everywhere.

"Oh my god, what is this?"

"Is it a bomb?"

"Oh, God. The fire wall is destroyed."

"The zombies are coming again!"

The survivors were stunned and exclaimed. 

Only Ryan's reaction was relatively calm. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the explosion area. Looking at the layer of frost covering the floor, his brows twisted into a frown, and he muttered. "It seems that the zombie leader has joined the fight."

Ordinary zombies were unable to create energy attacks with ice-blue flames. The only ones with this ability were probably second-level undead like the zombie leader. That meant the system's intelligence source was very accurate. There were indeed true level two zombies here.

Ryan's heart sank, and he silently clenched the wooden rod in his hand until the ice-blue flames of the explosion completely stagnated and the fire walls that had been used to isolate the zombies also mellowed down.

Nothing could stop the zombies' attacks anymore. 

Following a dull howling sound, the ordinary zombies that were blocked outside by the flames also started roaring angrily, as if blowing they were psyching themselves up for the second wave of offensive.

"Everyone, get ready, the zombies are coming again!" Wallace also saw the situation clearly, and immediately frowned and let out a loud roar.

The rest of the people were also awakened by the roar and began to prepare for defense. They grabbed their weapons and used nearby bodies as sandbags to block the only access to the stairs. Then everyone lined up, weapons in hand, ready to meet the attack at any time.

Although the human wall organized by these ordinary people was very limited, the efficiency of action was faster than before.

Just as Ryan said, the killing power of level one zombies was limited. As long as they fight with all their might, combined with the location advantage of the corridor, they could still hold on until Wallace and his team defeated the second-level zombie. Then the disaster would be over.

The attack came faster than expected. It arrived just as they were getting ready.As time went on, these zombies seemed to become impatient. They rushed up howling, eager to eat fresh meat. Their ferocious appearance and the posture of charging with bloody mouths wide open were really creepy to the eyes.

"Fight!" The survivors shouted, and in an instant, the two sides were completely engaged in a melee.

Those who have been able to survive the apocalypse until now, even if they did not possess evolved mystic veins, were not comparable to those before the apocalypse. 

They had fought many battles with zombies and were very clear about the weaknesses of these damned monsters. They had at least a dozen steel pipes, taking turns hitting the zombies' heads.

In addition, the narrow passage of the stairs limited the zombies' movement space, resulting in only two or three zombies rushing up each time. Before they could break through the defense, they were met with crazy attacks from pipes and sticks.

Ryan did not join the battle, but glanced at the chaotic situation, turned his head and said to Wallace, "It's time for us to act. These people can't hold out for much longer. We must find the zombie leader as soon as possible and kill it."

"Sure, let's go." Wallace did not refuse, but glanced at Ryan with a fake smile, then immediately turned around and ran towards the hidden passage deep in the second floor, thinking in his heart as he ran,

You little brat, you stole my spotlight this time, but it doesn't matter. After I take care of the zombie leader, it's time to put an end to you once and for all.

Ryan was aware of Wallace's little thoughts. He followed closely behind Wallace, staring at the back of the guy's head, and also laughed secretly in his heart.

"Be proud of yourself. I kept you until now just to use you to get rid of that level 2 zombie. Now you'll see I am no longer the incompetent person that you can manipulate at will."

Behind them, Yasmin, who had a conflicted look on her face, was also silently observing Ryan's every move. She really wanted to know why this guy was deliberately concealing his strength.

Three people, each with their own thoughts, were acting according to their own plans. As for who would have the last laugh, perhaps only God knew.

Before long, they passed through the hidden passage at the gathering point, avoided the place where the zombies were most concentrated, and successfully went around to the back of the zombie tide through a secret door.

It was very late in the night, and the open space outside the gathering point had already been covered by thick fog.

The three of them carefully walked through the secret door and came to where the fog was more concentrated. Looking at the large number of zombie monsters that were frantically attacking the gathering point, their hearts trembled at the same time.
