4 A City Destroyed is a City No More

5:00 AM Wang Xing Cun woke up to make some weapons and armors. Wang Xing Cun made2 Swords and Shield for Ming Zhanshi and Liu Kuai Su, a Bow with 3 Quivers containing 25 arrows each with steel tips for Xiao He Qi, 3 Hide Armor for the 3 of them and 1 Steel plate armor with Steel leggings for Liu Kuai Su. If other Blacksmiths saw this equipment they would be stunned and say that this is the creation of a grandmaster though Wang Xing Cun can make a better equipment if it wasn't for the lack of materials.

At around 7:00 AM Wang Xing Cun took a 25 minute worth of warmups then he called the members of the team to assemble. The team composed of Wang Xing Cun as the leader while Ming Zhanshi, Xiao He Qi and Liu Kuai Su being the members. And the parents staying back at the camp to prepare for the survivors that they will bring back. As soon as they went out they were ambushed by 3 semi-Evolved Beasts as for their classification it was [Beast type] - [Agility based].

When they were travelling they saw that the city that was once a crowded place still became a crowded place with the most inhabitants being the zombies and the minorities are the humans. A city that has 2.3 million people shrunk down to a 150 thousand plus people and 2 million zombies roaming the city. The humans still survived thanks to the virus. Why?It is because of the virus that humans that were weak became stronger than their weak counterpart as they were strong enough to resist the infection of the virus. Humans that survived the Wave of infection had higher physical abilities to fend off the Tier 0 zombies. As for the Tier 1 Zombies they need to pray to God that they will not be found by the Tier 1 Zombie or else they will be accepted into heaven with open arms.

When the team arrived at the city they saw that there are many zombies walking on the street. As they walk along the side of the building they heard a scream of a woman and a sobbing child. They ran as quick as they can to the source of the sound and found that the woman who screamed was bitten by a zombie why protecting its now unconscious child. "Please help me and my child." said the woman when she saw the 4 young men running toward her. They killed the zombie as fast as they can. After they killed the zombies the woman cried as she said "Help me please I don't want to turn into them." Wang Xing Cun looked at the wound of the woman as he said "The infection already spread in your body through your vein, Sorry but you can still die as a human if you want." "Please take care of my child. Let him grow strong and powerful like you." The woman said as she smiled and took Wang Xing Cun's shoulder knife then immediately slit her throat while smiling at her unconscious child as her eyes slowly closed. "She was a brave woman, a really brave woman. Liu Kuai Su go carry her to a nearby park and bury her body there." Wang Xing Cun said as gave a salute to the deceased woman.

After burying the body of the mother they walk away from the park as they went to a nearby supermarket and found 4 students and 2 office workers. When they went inside the supermarket one of the office workers pointed his gun at them while shouting "Who are you people and why are you dressed up in medieval costumes." Wang Xing Cun replied with a smile as he suddenly disappeared then appeared in front of the man while taking his gun away as he said "We are a team of Evolved."

The man was shookethed as he fell down on his but as he said while shaking " W-w-what do y-y-you m-m-mean Evolved?" Wang Xing Cun shook his head as he said "You will know that soon enough." While the students were scared of them as one of them suddenly talked to him "Will you help us?" "Of course." Ming Zhanshi replied as he smiled while his teeth is shining brightly. "Then can we come with you?" "Not right now." as Wang Xing Cun replied then continued "We are still looking for other people in the area. we need to gather the people then escort them to the village(base). Stay here for a bit and Survive while we are still gathering other people alright?" The Girl looked at him with resolute eyes as she said "If we die while you are still finding other people?" "Then that means you are not fit to survive in the apocalypse" Wang Xing Cun said coldly.

After saying it he went out as the other followed him. As they went deeper into the city they can hear gunshots everywhere as zombies are running rampant toward the source of the sound same as the zombies they too ran toward the source of the sound. The source of the sound was the military soldiers shooting the zombies as the zombie count is getting higher and after the zombies was near the blockade. The soldiers ran toward their armored vehicles and the Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement or MTVR for short. While the zombies were chasing the vehicles the team used this opportunity to go to the other side of the highway as they too were rampaging to cross the highway. After some time after they arrived at the Other side of the highway they saw some people holding melee weapons and guns while patrolling the area of the school campus. They went toward the entrance of the school and was stopped by the entrance guards and the guard asked some basic questions like Are you injured or wounded and etc.

After answering the questions given by the guards they let them in. When they went inside the school gymnasium they found that there are many survivors staying in the school. Most of the survivors are students while the others are teachers, elders, adults and children. As they walk around the people looked at them like they have seen a chuuni that are wearing some stupid costume. Wang Xing Cun too found some natural ability users. Then Wang Xing Cun walked up the stage as he shouted "Attention People!!" to gather the attention of people to the stage or rather to him.

He said "We are living the the apocalyptic world that the [Virus] has created. It let the Animals evolve and create Evolved Beasts, The same as humans It created Zombies and it too created ability users as well as an Evolution path for us." Some people agreed and nodded their heads while others did not agree with his statement and one of the people who did not agree with his statement said "How can you prove that we humans too have an evolution path?!" Wang Xing Cun smirked then grinned when he said "This." He suddenly punched the stage and created a large crack. The people we shocked at what happened to the stage. Then one of the ones who agreed asked a question "How do we humans evolve?"

"Humans evolve by controlling the virus and making marks with your body. There are two kinds of people who evolved, The 1st kind is the natural evolver as it gave them some kind of power that can be anything be it unreasonable or reasonable, you can become a natural evolver anytime in your life if you are lucky enough that is. The 2nd kind is the Usage of marks, through the usage of marks it can let your body evolve and become stronger while having a longer life." Wang Xing Cun explained as he continued.

"The natural evolvers too can use marks to evolve while being stronger than normal mark users but being stronger doesn't mean that you can kill the latter as skills and Techniques are needed to beat other Evolvers not just relying on raw power. For Example a Tier 0 Level 10 Non Evolver can kill a Tier 1 Level 0 Evolver if the latter only possess power while the former possess both technique and power. As for more information I would only say it in the base.

"The base?" a student asked.

"Yeah, The base that we created or you can call it a village now as it can hold around 500 people." Xiao He Qi replied immediately.

"The reason why we are here is to gather survivors to let them live in the village at the same time train them to serve the base as the base keeps expanding then recruit more people" Wang Xing Cun told them.

"But Before I will pick people to escort to the base. I will give you a breathing technique to control the [Virus]. Ming Zhanshi, Xiao He Qi and Liu Kuai Su assist me in teaching them how to use the breathing technique. Wang Xing Cun Said before teaching them a basic level breathing technique.

This Started the [Comeback of the Humans]
