Chapter 290 Malik Stark’s Return

“I can’t tell what they’re planning. Eva said. “Let them stay for now. However, only for two days. Then, they’re out,”

“They killed Mario, though, Ray said in a lower voice. “What do we do when Malik returns and finds outr

Eva’s brow tightened. Her eyes dropped to Mario’s body. For a moment, she didn’t say anything. Then, a voice shouted from the third floor.

“Mr. Stark’s back! They’re coming!”

“There’s a swarm of zombies right behind them. Drop the ropes! Hurry!”

Theresa, still on the second floor, heard the shouts and turned toward the windows. Thick ropes were hanging outside. A few people were being pulled up.

She leaned closer to the glass and looked down. The street below was packed with zombies, shoulder to shoulder.

They reached up, groaning and snarling, trying to grab the people climbing the ropes.

Each climber had a huge pack on their back. They kicked and climbed while others above pulled them up.

Then, out of nowhere, a zombie in a tracksuit let out a shriek and launched itself upward. It grabbed the wall and jumped onto one of the ropes.

In a flash, it sank its teeth into the back of the man on the far–left rope. Its weight and speed tore right through the man’s scalp.

Blood sprayed like a fountain, soaking his face and clothes.

“Aah!!” the man screamed in pain.

“Bob!” someone on the third floor shouted.

A fireball flew down and blasted the zombie off the rope.

Another man, climbing the second rope from the right, pushed off the wall and leapt toward Bob Woodard.

Bob screamed even louder when he saw him, hope in his eyes.

“Malik! Help me! I’m your best friend! I helped you win over Eva! I killed your rival for you! I even cleaned up your brother’s messes! You owe me, man! You owe me!”

However, even before he finished speaking, Malik’s knife flashed in the sunlight. In one quick motion, he cut the strap of Bob’s pack. He yanked the supplies off Bob’s back with one smooth pu”

Bob blinked in shock. He didn’t even have time to speak before Malik’s knife

The tension snapped. Bob dropped.

Chapter 290 Malik Stark’s Return

“Malik! You backstabbing scoundrell”

Covered in blood and flailing, Bob fell like a piece of raw meat into a sea of starving monsters. Thes zombies forgot about the others. They swarmed toward him like sharks smelling blood.

In less than two seconds, he was gone. The horde swallowed him whole.

Malik and the rest of his group made it safely to the third floor.

Theresa had watched it all. Her eyes stayed calm, but she kept her focus on the man who had stolen supplies and killed his own teammate just to escape.

That was someone to o keep a close eye on–he was vicious.

If it had been Kyle on that rope instead of Bob, she wasn’t sure she could have done the same.

She was ruthless, but only with enemies.

Never with her own people.

If Kyle got bitten, she would only make a move when he was truly gone. As long as he had even a trace of humanity left, she wouldn’t let anyone lay a hand on him.

However, that man… He was colder than her.

“Theresa, we reached Bennie,” Lucas said as he walked over..

“What did he say?” she asked.

“Theron is leading eight squads from other camps to back us up.”

“Where are they now?”

They made it to what’s left of Nebula Camp. However, that place is surrounded. Tens of thousands of zombies have blocked every path into the city. Bennie said he’s working on a new route. He’ll send word by tonight at the latest.”

Theresa gave a small nod.

Just then, a furious voice echoed through the mall.

“Who killed my brother?”

Malik stormed down from the third floor. His eyes were wild. He scanned the crowd in front of him.

Eva ran after him, shouting. “Malik!”

He turned to face the crowd. “Speak up! If no one talks, all of you scum are going in the ground with my brother! I’ll tear you all apart! Talk! Who did it?”

Malik shoved Eva’s hand off his arm. His glare burned into the people on the second floor.

Just then, a clear voice broke through the noise. “I did.”

Chapter 290 Malik Stark’s Return

Theresa stepped forward. Calin as always.

She never ran from a light. If she did something, she admitted it.

Malik’s face twisted. Fire burst into the air above his head, hot and wild. He locked eyes with Theresa and raised his hand.

However, a wave of water crashed down and put out the flames at once.

“Malik!” Eva stepped forward. Her palm still glowed with the use of her water–based ability. She marched right up to him.

“Enough! Your brother broke Ridgefall Camp’s rules. He never reported anything to me, then blocked the gate and wouldn’t let them in. That’s why they killed him.”
