Chapter 4: Evolution of Abilities and a Fateful Decision

After the harrowing night they had endured, a new morning dawned, bringing with it fresh challenges. The sun barely peeked over the horizon, its rays piercing through the shattered windows of the building they had taken refuge in. Zayn sat in a corner of the room, his glowing blue eyes fixed on the system window before him.

Zayn furrowed his brows as he read the final line. "This... means I can strengthen my abilities faster than before?" he murmured to himself.

"Zayn? Are you alright?"

The voice came from the black-haired, red-eyed girl sitting across from him, her concern evident.

He responded with a faint smile, "I'm fine, just reviewing some things."

But she wasn't convinced. She could sense that something had changed in Zayn, especially after the last battle. Unlike others, she did not fear his ruthless side. In fact, she found a strange sense of security in it, though she couldn't quite understand why.

A New Threat Emerges

Before they could rest, a thunderous explosion echoed outside. Everyone rushed to the windows, witnessing a group of survivors desperately fleeing from another wave of zombies. But the problem wasn't their numbers—it was something else.

One of the zombies was different. It stood over three meters tall, its body encased in thick black armor-like plating, with glowing crimson eyes.

"That… that's not an ordinary zombie!" one of the survivors outside screamed.

Zayn quickly stood up, his eyes blazing with energy. "We need to move. Now!"

Gripping his weapon, he prepared for battle. But this time, he wasn't alone. Both his benevolent and ruthless sides were ready…

And the real fight was about to begin.
