Upon hearing the reports from the team members, Wang Lei also felt a bit puzzled.

Because the city was densely populated before the apocalypse, the number of Evolved Zombies inside is usually more than outside the city.

The commotion from the battle they just had on this street wasn't small, even the ordinary zombies from several nearby streets were attracted.

Yet among so many ordinary zombies, there wasn't even a single Evolved Zombie.

This situation really defied common sense.

"Perhaps we're in an area that just so happens to avoid the Evolved Zombies. Everyone needs to be careful. It's very dangerous in the city, and we could be attacked by various Evolved Zombies at any moment."

As a captain in the military, Wang Lei had personally witnessed the power of these zombies.

Even though they had killed plenty of zombies on this street, he still cautiously reminded his teammates.

Lin Yan, however, didn't care at all. Looking at the charred zombies all over the ground, he showed a confident smile at the corner of his mouth: "Captain, I think you're being too cautious. No Evolved Zombies have appeared for so long, it seems they're afraid of us!"

"Just a group of brainless Bloodthirsty Monsters. Even if they evolve, it's nothing special. It's not like we haven't seen Evolved Zombies before."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei frowned but said nothing more.

The team members under his command were all uniquely talented and powerful.

Lin Yan, especially, had awakened the Elemental Flame Control ability.

His mastery over flames was superb, allowing him to unleash immense power in group battles.

Perhaps because of the strength of his Flame Ability, or perhaps due to being too young,

Lin Yan always gave off too arrogant a temperament, which Wang Lei found quite displeasing.

"Everyone still needs to be careful. Next, we'll spread out to search for hidden survivors."

Wang Lei, as the Evolution Team captain, quickly began to form a new plan.

"Try to rescue as many survivors as possible. By evening, bring them back to regroup. If you encounter danger, be sure to send a signal to alert your companions!"

The five of them set up their communication equipment and then began going in different directions to find survivors.

Now that the southern city area was under Lu Chuan's control, the Evolved Corpse Puppets were all hidden under his command.

Ordinary zombies wandering the streets were not a match for the Evolvers, and many survivors hiding in the dark were rescued one after another.

The five Evolvers spread out to rescue survivors, and when they gathered at night, all five were unscathed and appeared relaxed.

Even Zhang Hao, who had awakened an augmentation talent, could easily kill many ordinary zombies with his evolved physical enhancements.

Gathering all the survivors they brought along, they found that only about twenty to thirty people had been rescued from this large city area.

Although this was just a portion of the survivors, it showed how horrifically high human casualties were after the apocalypse!

Wang Lei led the survivors into a store, but this chain store had long been emptied, not even hairs left on the shelves.

They moved all the shelves aside, leaving a large empty space in the middle, with the survivors sitting in a circle.

These survivors had been hiding in the dark all this time, and each one was already emaciated from hunger.

Besides essential equipment, Wang Lei and the others carried a lot of supplies meant to replenish the survivors from the Survivor Base.

"Everyone line up by head count to receive bottled water and compressed biscuits. Regardless of age or gender, the share is the same. Come and line up orderly to receive your portion."

Under Wang Lei's organization, these twenty to thirty survivors lined up in an orderly fashion.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

"I knew the Survivor Base would send people to rescue us, thank you so much!"

Even though they only received some compressed biscuits, to the survivors who were already starving, this was precious and could at least provide essential calories for their bodies.

However, some survivors were still not satisfied.

A rather beefy man, after receiving the compressed biscuits and bottled water, threw it to the ground with a look of discontent.

"How long has it been since the apocalypse? It's been three months, and you're only now thinking of rescuing people? What were you doing before?"

"And you're just giving us these compressed biscuits? Are these even edible?!"

Hearing this, a few other survivors nodded their heads.

But just as they were about to agree, Lin Yan let out a cold laugh.

Smack!

A quick step, and Lin Yan appeared in front of the survivor, slapping him to the ground. The man's face swelled up instantly, losing several teeth.

"With trash like you, you should be grateful we came to the city to save you, and you dare to complain here?"

"If you ramble another word, believe me or not, I'll directly throw you out to feed the zombies?!"

Lin Yan's sudden outburst startled all the survivors present.

Each one became silent and dared not utter any more complaints.

Those who hadn't spoken were secretly relieved, thinking they were lucky to have been slow or they'd have been the ones getting beaten.

As for Wang Lei and the others, they were long accustomed and didn't find anything improper.

Finishing up, Lin Yan crushed the compressed biscuit under his foot, pressing the survivor's head firmly to the ground.

"Damn useless waste. Lick it clean, or I'll feed you to the zombies!"

Gazing at the survivor he had trampled, Lin Yan wore a sinister grin.

Wang Lei frowned slightly at this scene, then gestured to Lin Yan: "Alright, don't waste time with these people, come over and discuss today's situation."

The five of them gathered and shared their respective encounters, finishing with puzzled expressions on all their faces.

"None of you encountered an Evolved Zombie? That's quite unlikely, isn't it?"

Wang Lei frowned, believing that not encountering a single Evolved Zombie all day wasn't just good luck for the team.

"Hey, you're an Evolver, right? Come over, I have a few questions for you."

Wang Lei glanced at one of the more agile survivors, clearly also an Evolver.

"Has anything strange happened recently in Jiangnan City District? Where did all the Evolved Zombies go?"

This Evolver obviously sensed that Wang Lei and the others had auras far superior to his, and quickly replied truthfully: "To be honest, there indeed are Evolved Zombies in Jiangnan City District."

"But you may not believe it, I've even seen zombies driving cars. The supplies in Jiangnan City District were taken away by those zombies!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lei and the others were instantly stunned on the spot.
