Re: Evolution Online

"Mr. Mayor, that is the person I told you about." A man in the back whispered to another who was wearing a luxurious-looking formal suit even in the midst of an apocalypse.

On his hand was a phone that displayed several images of Liam's takeoff and landing from the spot as he was riding on top of a certain white fox.

"Mmm. Ok, I got it." The mayor acted like he didn't care, but when he looked at the photos again, a strange light flashed in his eyes. 

His attention was particularly riveted by the white fox with three tails that could unmistakably soar through the air.

"Let's continue observing for now." He calmly said.

Not just him but every single bit shot assembled at the site currently had their eyes locked onto the newly arrived individual.

Particularly, the way that he seemed to make the beasts' corpses magically disappear caught their eyes. 

The person was also clearly not afraid to step anywhere near the strange phenomenon from which dangerous wild beasts were charging out.

They had only dared to come here when the situation was completely under control, and that too after taking several precautions and making sure that there was nothing here that could endanger their lives.

After all these, they were still observing things from the back, not daring to go to the frontlines, but this person was just casually walking back and forth, even if a beast was right next to him.

"Get me all the information available on him."

"Bring me details about all the foreigners here and how they came to be here."

"Contact the international security department and find out how these many foreigners suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

All the big shots started handing out orders one after another to their underlings while continuing to watch the show with awe. Meanwhile, a few civilians also slowly started to come out of their shells and watch the show.

The normal people were still too scared to step outside their houses, but those who were familiar with the game 'Evolution Online' slowly started gathering some courage.

They daringly walked towards the crowd gathered and watched the dazzling show that was displayed in front of them.

Many people even immediately spotted Alex and Shen Yue, two of the three great beauties of Crimson Abyss. Liam's face might not be particularly famous, but the identities of other Crimson Abyss top players like Alex, Shen Yue, and Mia were not exactly a secret.

So the news that Crimson Abyss had taken charge and was protecting their city spread quickly. Many people were grateful. Some were indignant and envious, while others were too shocked by the endless wave of beasts to care about these things.

Especially because they had only just now faced a beast wave inside the game and died several times because of it, even watching the horrific scene from safety was still traumatizing.

However, the other big shots couldn't afford to be this unaffected by this key piece of information. Most of these people had invested heavily in 'Evolution Online' before everything turned to shit.

And now they wanted their return on these investments!

How could this guild alone come out on top? How did they have all these preparations worked out beforehand? How were they alone so strong even after the game was shut down?

Was there some secret behind their strength? Did the powers from the game transfer to the real world? Watching the ease with which the group was handling the beasts, everyone gaped in awe and jealousy.

They were particularly curious about the bluish-white creatures that were helping everyone. If it was like this, then they could also join and fight. It was not fair that only these people received this kind of support.

Several thoughts began to sprout in the heads of the audience. The more time passed, their fears lessened, especially after watching how easily all the beasts were being dealt with.

Some of the crowd started to act bolder as they ordered their personal guards to bring back some beast corpses for closer examination.

However, when these guys stepped forward, suddenly, something unexpected happened. The bluish-white creatures, who had been solely focused on hunting the beasts up until this point, swung around without warning to face the approaching humans.

Immediately, all the courage drained from the faces of these intruders, and they became pale, hurriedly stepping back out of the battle zone.

Liam chuckled slightly as he watched this from afar. "Don't want to fight but want to take the war spoils? Dream on." He didn't do anything about it and just kept storing the corpses of the dead beasts in the tower space, one after the other.

He now no longer even walked around as the minions did the job for him and brought the corpses over to him. 

Instead, Liam was leisurely taking a break from his day by sitting on the nearby park bench with Luna right next to him.

After some time, he also ended up dismissing the soul minions from this part of the city. Alex and the others now seemed capable of handling the beasts by themselves, and moreover, he was also there to supervise everything, so he took back the redundant help.

Everything was progressing just as planned. The families of the guild members had also managed to obtain some levels. 

Shockingly, some of the middle-aged women whom Liam would have never expected to fight back were also swinging their kitchen knives and taking out some beasts by ganging up together. 

They couldn't simply watch from the sidelines while their sons and daughters were risking their lives and fighting. 

One particularly loud-mouthed woman was repeatedly bashing the head of a monkey with a ladle. Another elder was using his walking stick to spank a dire wolf. The wolf yelped in pain as its behind turned bright red.

This type of scene became more common as time passed, and the guild group continued to stand firm against the beast tide and fight on.

But even the longest and most tiring day had to come to an end sometime. As the night went on, the stormy skies eventually settled down, and the climate and the overall weather tremendously improved.

There were no more flash rains, heart attack-inducing thunder, or lightning. Everything calmed down, and as the first rays of the morning sunlight peeped through, finally, the relentless beast wave stopped!

The gate was still glowing brightly, but no more beasts were charging out of it. It looked like this ordeal was finally over once and for all.

Everyone sighed in relief and tiredly collapsed in the middle of the road itself, either sitting down or lying down. The entire group was panting heavily as if they had just sprinted through a full marathon.

Though these were low-level beasts continuously fighting all night long, it definitely took a toll on their bodies. They were once again starting from scratch, after all.

While this group of people were completely worn out, the other, more energetic group finally made their move!
