Looking at the corpse of the Evolver in front of him, the killing intent in Lu Chuanâs eyes almost became tangible, his blood-colored pupils filled with cold light.
Although heâs now transformed into a zombie, he has no intention of completely breaking away from humanity.
In this chaotic post-apocalyptic world, Lu Chuanâs demands are simple; he just wants a place where he and Little Qiqi can live peacefully.
After becoming a zombie, he never actively attacked the human survivor team.
Unless humans provoked him.
Lu Chuan questioned himself if he had retreated enough.
After all, if it were other zombies, they would have already slaughtered any humans they encountered.
Especially after the human rescue team entered Jiangnan City District.
To avoid provoking the Human Base City, Lu Chuan even controlled all his Evolved Corpse Puppets, making all Evolved Zombies in the Jiangnan City District disappear.
Lu Chuan had made his greatest effort to avoid conflict with humans.
But he didnât expect these humans to be shamelessly ambitious, attempting to seize Qingshui Farm.
Their fate can only be death!
Lu Chuanâs eyes became eerily sinister at this moment.
The reason he moved from Sunshine District to Qingshui Farm was because he didnât want to clash with humans.
He hoped he and Little Qiqi could have a peaceful and stable living environment.
Nowadays, Qingshui Farm is his bottom line.
To ensure the safety of Qingshui Farm, he had already arranged for a large number of Evolved Corpse Puppets to ambush on various roads leading to Qingshui Farm.
But even after retreating to such an extent, he didnât expect these humans to still shamelessly covet his home.
Then donât blame him for being ruthless.
Through the confrontation between Lightning One and this Flame Evolver, Lu Chuan could tell that the opponents he faced this time were much stronger than those Evolvers from before.
Their Evolution Realm was higher, and they had richer combat experience.
"According to Corpse Puppetâs surveillance, the Survivor Base just dropped supplies once, and all the resources inside Jiangnan City District have already been moved by me. Without supplies to settle so many survivors, these humans likely canât stay long."
Having lived in the post-apocalyptic world for so long, Lu Chuan knew very well what food meant to these survivors.
Without food, even the human survivor base couldnât appease the survivorsâ emotions unless using direct violence.
Besides, Evolvers arenât mythical cultivators; they still need food to replenish the energy they consume.
Even if the survivors could endure hunger, these Evolvers absolutely couldnât stay in a state of starvation.
Glancing at the Evolverâs corpse at his feet, Lu Chuanâs lips curled into a cold smile.
Since they take an inch, it does no harm to give them another warning.
"I hope you can behave accordingly, donât be shameless."
"Iâve already given you whole Jiangnan City District, and yet you still covet my territory. I hope after seeing this warning, you can have some self-awareness."
Moments later, the Earth Escape zombie arrived next to Lu Chuan, took Lin Yanâs corpse, and immediately burrowed underground, silently infiltrating into Jiangnan City District.
The Earth Escape zombie moves silently, making it perfect for such tasks.
...
"Whatâs going on? Why hasnât Lin Yan come back yet? Thereâs no movement on the radio either!"
In the night.
The five members of the rescue team gathered again in the shop, only to find Lin Yan missing.
Moreover, Wang Lei and others repeatedly called Lin Yan via radio but received no response.
He seemed to have vanished into thin air in Jiangnan City District, making the teamâs atmosphere instantly heavy.
Although they hadnât encountered any Evolved Zombies in recent days, Wang Lei always felt that Jiangnan City District seemed shrouded in shadows.
Especially learning from the survivors about the eerie happenings with zombies in Jiangnan City District, he felt even more uneasy.
Thus, Wang Lei set a rule for everyone to return to the team before nightfall, regardless of the results.
The Evolvers sent out by the Survivor Base are all experienced and powerful, each with their own temperament and character, but they wouldnât make such basic mistakes like being late or disappearing without cause.
Bear in mind, this is the City District, and no one knows how many zombies are hidden in the concrete jungle.
In the dark, human combat effectiveness might decline, but the zombies wouldnât be affected.
Moreover, the five men separated to improve efficiency, making it extremely dangerous for a lone Evolver if surrounded by zombies in the night.
Now, itâs already deep into the night, and since Lin Yan still hasnât returned, most likely something has happened.
"Could it be Lin Yan got lost? Why hasnât he returned so late?" Zhang Hao frowned and asked with some confusion.
"Nonsense, we all have navigation systems; how could he get lost?" Butcher Liu Yang immediately retorted.
"Lin Yan is young and impulsive. I reckon he might have gone back to some city center again, leading to being stranded too late, or perhaps he met some beautiful survivors..."
Liu Yang spoke with disdain, as he had some opinions about Lin Yanâs arrogance.
Noticing Wang Leiâs displeased look, Liu Yang then kept his mouth shut.
Holding a long sword, Yang Xiu looked out the window with a furrowed brow, puzzled: "Weâve been in Jiangnan City District for so long, yet havenât found any trace of Evolved Zombies. With Lin Yanâs strength, these corpses shouldnât pose a problem for him, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yang nodded. Despite disliking Lin Yanâs personality, he had to admit that Lin Yan was a master at manipulating flames.
"Could it be... Lin Yan encountered Evolved Zombies hiding in the city?!"
Upon hearing Yang Xiuâs words, everyone was startled, each brow instantly furrowing.
Now that the five-person team had already lost one member, and to make matters worse, it was the combat-powerful Lin Yan, it wasnât good news for everyone.
As the team leader, Wang Lei noticed the increasingly heavy atmosphere and immediately spoke: "Alright, everyone stop speculating, anything can happen in the city."
"The city at night is extremely dangerous, weâll wait until dawn to talk again, tomorrow weâll look for him together."
"Even Lin Yan can disappear without a trace, it seems Jiangnan City District isnât as safe as we imagined. From now on, everyone absolutely cannot act separately."
