Chapter 290 Malik Stark’s Return
“I can’t tell what they’re nning. Eva said. “Let them stay for now. However, only for two <b>days</b><b>. </b>Then, they’re out,”
“They killed Mario, <b>though</b>, 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’reing!”
“There’s a swarm of zombies right behind them. Drop the ropes! Hurry!”
Theresa, still on the second floor, heard the <b>shouts </b>and turned toward the windows. Thick ropes were hanging outside. A few people were being pulled up.
She leaned closer to the ss 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 <b>pack </b>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 andunched itself upward. It grabbed the wall and jumped onto one of the ropes.
In a sh, it sank its teeth into the back of the man on the far–left rope. Its weight and speed <b>tore </b>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 <b>down </b>and sted 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 <b>saw </b>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 <b>me</b>!”
However, even before he finished speaking, Malik’s knife shed 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.
slid across the rope,

“Malik! You backstabbing scoundrell”
Covered in blood and iling, 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 <b>two </b>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.
<b>That </b>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 anyoney a hand <b>on </b>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 Neb Camp. However, that ce is surrounded. Tens of thousands of zombies have blocked every path into the city. Bennie said he’s <b>working </b>on a new route. He’ll send word by tonight at thetest.”
Theresa gave a small nod.
Just then, a furious <b>voice </b>echoed through the mall.
“Who killed my brother?”
Malik <b>stormed </b>down from the third floor. His eyes were wild. He scanned the crowd in front of him<b>. </b>
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?”
<b>Malik </b>shoved Eva’s hand off his arm. His re burned into the people on the second floor.
Just then, a clear voice broke through the noise. “I did.”

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 mes 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<b>.</b><b>” </b>
