Three days ago, a catastrophe that no one had expected suddenly struck.

It was that experience that Kiyomi and the others knew that in today's apocalyptic world, there are other monsters besides mourning ghosts.

On that day, the three evolutionaries of the survivor team went out to look for food and returned to the settlement, and in that operation, they brought back a certain amount of food and saved a survivor who was struggling to support himself on his own.

However, after a few people returned to the settlement to let down their guard, the monster that had followed them all the way and hid in the shadows finally revealed its claws.

It was a monster with stealth abilities, and its first attack unexpectedly bit off the head of one evolutionary, followed by a pounce that disembowels another.

The settlement was in chaos, and the remaining evolutionaries and ordinary survivors, including Kiyomi, fought back, taking advantage of the weakness of the monster's body that was splashed with blood to expose part of its body, and finally killed the monster after paying a heavy price.

After the monster died, the stealth ability it carried on its body finally failed, and everyone saw its appearance clearly, it was a behemoth that looked like a tiger but not a tiger, and was more than five meters long.

Kiyomi looked at the monster's corpse more and more familiarly, and finally determined that the monster's predecessor was the Benga tiger he had seen more than once at Ueno Zoo before the end of the day.

However, the Benga tiger that Kiyomi remembered in his memory weighed only two hundred kilograms and was only about three meters long, which was really far from the monster that everyone had killed together.

It was after that day that a new shadow cast a shadow over the hearts of the people who survived the catastrophe.

Only then did the survivors know that it turned out that not only the ghosts and a small number of humans, but also the animals had mutated.

A mutated Benga tiger is already so powerful, but what about other animals, and even other creatures? Is there a way for humanity to live?

The mutated Benga Tiger wreaked havoc on the survivor team, killing three of the six evolutionaries on the spot and seriously injuring one, while the average survivor suffered more than a dozen casualties.

To make matters worse, the monsters wreaked havoc at the settlement, destroying several wireless devices that the team could communicate with, making it an isolated island and impossible to call for help from nearby survivors.

Thinking of this, Kiyomi secretly clenched his fists. If it were those people, then he would rather die than take refuge in the other party.

The deaths of three Evolvers took a huge toll on the morale of the survivor team.

Of the remaining three Evolutionaries, except for one of the severely injured Evolutionaries, only Kiyomi has the ability to go out in search of food and fight, and the other Evolver's ability can only play a role in healing injuries and illnesses.

Although after killing the monster, the food will not be scarce for a while, but the consumption of dozens of people in the team will not last long, and it is impossible to support another combat-type evolutionary to get better.

So, after a day off, Kiyomi chose to go out in search of food, and by the way, search for wireless devices that could communicate with the outside world.

It was the second day that Kiyomi had started going out again in search of food.

After yesterday's thrill, Kiyomi has become more and more cautious today.

The weather was very hot, and even the mourning ghosts did not want to move on the streets, so Kiyomi saw that there was no movement around him, and began to move his body carefully.

He was already quite familiar with the surrounding area, and as an evolutionary, he was able to reduce the sound of footsteps to the point of almost inaudible due to his enhanced ability to control his body, and deliberately avoided the places where the ghosts might exist, and encountered almost no obstacles along the way.

Occasionally, when encountering one or two sporadic ghosts, he will quickly stand still or lie on his stomach, disguising himself as a worthless pile of smelly garbage until the other party leaves.

Since the survivor team had looted almost all of the nearby houses that could be searched without alarming the zombie horde, Kiyomi did not expect to find normal food this time, even though most of them had spoiled except for a few foods such as rice and noodles.

Kiyomi eventually stopped in front of a row of outdoor trash cans.

He leaned down, leaning on the tall barrel to cover his figure, and looked around without any abnormality.

Thanks to the garbage sorting system that Hisakami had perfected before the disaster, Kiyomi naturally reached into the combustible garbage bin.

Rotting leaves, disgusting-smelling rice balls, and a little eggshell that has solidified into a brownish-black solid egg......

These things that stray animals didn't necessarily visit in the past, Kiyomi naturally grabbed them and stuffed them into the plastic bag prepared under his coat.

At one point, Kiyomi suddenly felt that he should be grateful for this world.

If it weren't for the fact that after the end of the world, most of the invisible microorganisms and bacteria in the air might have died out, thus slowing down the decay rate of food, otherwise I might not have been able to get even a little bit of dregs.

Although it is difficult for ordinary people in the settlement to take these badly rotten and spoiled food back to the settlement, it is edible for the evolutionary self.

The food in the settlements is getting less and less, but the appetite of the evolutionaries is very large, and if they save some rations, they can leave more shares for the ordinary people in the settlements, giving them more hope to live.

If, one day, the food reserves of the settlements are completely cut off, then they will have to eat this kind of food just like themselves.

Kiyomi thought wildly, anyway, with the healing ability of that guy Yanagi Nagisa, they would definitely not be able to eat it, and it was not that they hadn't tried it before.

After filling the plastic bag on his body, Kiyomi stuffed a strange dumpling made of various kitchen waste into his mouth, and the sour smell made him cry.

This damn world!

Kiyomi kept opening his mouth wide and forcing himself to swallow the food he couldn't swallow, his face looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees, two lines of tears sliding down his cheeks and dripping into the black collar of his clothes.

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground.

Kiyomi, who was hiding behind the dumpster, was amazed.

He listened.

A rumbling sound came from afar, from far and near.

Kiyomi was finally sure that it was the sound of some kind of mechanical wheel rubbing against the ground.

The look on his face ranged from astonishment, hesitation, disbelief to ecstasy.

He jerked to his feet, completely freeing his not-so-tall body from the cover of a row of bins.

Dead ghosts have reappeared on the nearby streets, but their attention has been completely absorbed by uninvited guests.

A steel monster catches Kiyomi's eye with a rampage.

At that moment, Kiyomi's face burst into tears again.
