Chapter 116: Another Zombie Tide!
Chapter 116: Another Zombie Tide!
In a dark room, the stink of blood was apparent. Sunlight couldn't approach even through the windows since they were shut from the outside. But the man sitting in one corner of the room didn't even try to walk out. What was the use? Hope would only make him kill more people for her. So he would just keep himself inside the room and refuse to see her face.
This person was Tyler, and he had already tried to escape the clutches of the female lead. If Tyler still had his memories, he wouldn't have fallen under the spell of this female lead who had become a villain.
He would have used his words to make Hope let him go alive. But unfortunately, this version of Tyler here was very naive and didn't have any knowledge about war. So he could only use useless methods to escape. But every time, Hope caught him and forced him to kill more people in the safe zone. That was his punishment.
And every time he would go, he would only pray that he wouldn't have to face Neil and fight with that person. Tyler was already feeling exhausted even thinking about Neil's expressions when the female lead had controlled his body for the first time.
That expression gave him a feeling of throbbing pain in his chest, making him unable to breathe. So he would just try and keep his mind off of the male lead. But if he didn't think of Neil, then what should he focus on?! He had already lost his memories, and this system was really unusual. He knew that even if he had gained a little info about this transmigration system, it was lost again due to memory loss.
And he concluded that this memory loss was perhaps due to something that made this transmigration system unstable. These were his only thoughts when he was spending most of his time in the dark. Suddenly, one day, Hope opened the door and stared at Tyler in disdain.
"Get ready."
"For what?"
"To attack the humans again!" Hope was annoyed. On the one hand, the male lead was gaining more and more power, and here, Tyler didn't make a single mistake again. At first, she was just using him to get more human cores every time this man tried to escape. But now, when this person was acting all docile, she didn't have a choice but to force this person into submission. Since Tyler was already under her control, It wouldn't be difficult for her to use him again to get more cores.
But who would have thought that Tyler would suddenly revolt?! Suddenly, a wave of fire flushed out of Tyler's palms surrounding her entire being. Hope was confused at first, gazing at the fire blankly, and then she suddenly realized what had happened.
Did Tyler just use some of the cores instead of giving her?! But he clearly should have followed her command. How come this person was able to go against her power?!
What she didn't know was that Tyler had accidentally sucked away power from one of the humans, and some part of him started rejecting Hope's control. So at this time, even though Tyler wasn't really as powerful as the female lead, it would be difficult for her to control this person again unless she powered up herself.
She gritted her teeth and locked the room, giving Tyler orders not to cross the border. But now, after giving this order, she realized that this small activity required her to use more than half of her power. She could feel blood churning in her stomach. So she gave this order and left the area.
After reaching a certain distance, she leaned on the wall and rested for a while. It was clearly her mistake to send a person like Tyler out to bring more cores. She should have just killed him when there was still time!
No matter. She could still get her revenge as long as she captured Neil and kill him in front of Tyler!
Darkness flashed in her eyes at this, and she gave the zombies orders.
They would attack the safe zone soon! She would just power-up
***
A few days passed just like that, and the residents of the safe zone stopped seeing Tyler, whose eyes were completely red. And after a few days, they started seeing zombies coming to attack the base. Unfortunately, these zombies weren't as powerful as Tyler, so they couldn't do much damage. It was a relief since these monsters could only manage to kill one man in two or three days.
But something also happened at the base. For instance, how Gavin was still arguing with Neil on Tyler's topic. Before Tyler had come to make trouble at the base under the female lead's control, they had just thought that perhaps Tyler was also a victim since they had all seen him almost every day, and that person never killed either of them.
All of those thoughts changed when they saw Tyler ruthlessly killing people with the same fire power that he had used to save them all earlier. And slowly, they also started resenting this person.
Now when Gavin started going against Tyler right in front of Neil, no one-sided with Tyler this time, and they even showed an expression of disdain.
At this time, no one could understand more about what the male lead was feeling. Even though he knew that this world would end soon, and it wasn't their reality, he was still furious after hearing those words. But what else could he do? The end of this world hadn't arrived yet, and he couldn't afford to do anything else either.
The only relief was that at least he was able to power up and he even felt like he had become far more powerful as compared to Hope. he even mentally calculated that the female lead wasn't able to kill many people lately. So she wouldn't have powered up as much as when she was sending Tyler.
But why did she stop sending him? He didn't know the answer to that.
And just as he was thinking about this, he saw Phil panting after that latter ran toward him. "Another zombie tide."
Was Tyler here as well? Neil's brows furrowed, and he instantly dashed toward the entrance.
