"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.

"Nothing, I'm just tired after wandering around outside for two days." 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, then. Let's go back and join the others." 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 three categories: one were the deviants with awakened veins for evolution. The second were the potentials who had the chance for evolution after they awaken their veins. The last were the commoners 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?"

Ryan stopped, looked up, and stared at the person standing on the steps. He raised an eyebrow and responded indifferently, "Yes, what do you want, 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 there was disdain in his eyes when turned around and ran away behind Wallace.

"How come you're still alive?"

"Hmm?" Thinking back to what happened the other day, Ryan's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Why do all of you seem to want me dead...?"

"Hey……what do you mean? Nobody wishes you dead..." Lucas obviously didn't expect Ryan to say that. He was stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile from his round face, "I'm just curious to know how you survived those things?"

"Maybe it's just pure luck, or maybe I'm already undead, just like them." 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 minions of his who he liked to call 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 managed to control himself and endured it.

Now was not the time to completely turn against him. After all, Wallace was also a deviant, and he had acquired the ability to evolve as early as the first month after the doomsday. 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. He just raised his eyes, stared coldly at Wallace, and asked in a hoarse voice. "Why, Wallace?"

    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

    Chapter 4: A Five-Star Researcher"Brother Ryan, can I take a look?"A girl's voice suddenly came from behind Ryan.He turned around and discovered Lindsey leaning against the doorframe, peering curiously into the laboratory. 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
