Re: Evolution Online-Chapter 803: It's not that simple

"Let's go in first." Liam gazed at the crowd indifferently. Right in front of several pairs of envious eyes, Luna landed inside the hotel gates, and everyone walked in.

After seeing the group return, Lily rushed out in a hurry. "Mr Liam, I… am not sure how to handle this situation. They all want to join us." She realized she didn't have to explain anything because everyone had already witnessed the shocking scene.

"Don't worry about it, Miss Lily. I will take care of the situation. You have already done a lot. Thank you." Liam smiled and patted the woman.

"Ah. I didn't do anything." Lily couldn't help but blush when she was being praised in front of everyone, especially the main members of the group.

What a womanizer! Alex immediately rolled her eyes. She looked at Shen Yue, wondering what her reaction was going to be, but unexpectedly, the girl only had a kind smile on her face.

Too gullible!

Her gaze shifted back to Liam when she noticed that the other party was looking right at her. Ahem. She awkwardly cleared her throat.

"You didn't hear what I said?" Liam shook his head helplessly and repeated his words. "Let's get everyone assembled in the hotel conference room. I think it's time we assigned some responsibilities to the group."

Though he did not want to be involved in these things, there was still some basic organizing that needed to be done. Otherwise, the dynamics of the group would crumble.

If he took the time now to lay a solid foundation, things would be much easier and run more smoothly later on. Also, there was another reason why he needed to do this. It's because only he knew what was going to happen next.

After Liam gave his orders, everyone quickly moved their asses and started assembling in the conference room one after another. It only took about an hour for the whole group to be there, which included the granny and her members of the dojo.

Liam then didn't get much involved as he allowed Alex and Lily to take over. Alex was already familiar with most of the guild members, so she quickly assigned certain basic duties like handling weapons and resources, taking turns guarding the territory, and so on.

The dojo members were mostly assigned to lead dungeon diving groups and make sure that all the core members ran the two dungeons every single day.

Then the main part arrived, which was assigning responsibilities to family members and those who were not used to or did not want to get involved in combat.

Liam finally stepped forward to speak. "It is neither necessary nor compulsory for anyone to fight on the frontlines, but I suggest everyone at least get to Level 10 in the next couple of days."

"Take turns and get help, but in two days' time, there will be another roll call, and I expect everyone to be at this level."

Liam's words did not give anyone any chance to rebuke him. However, everyone had the utmost respect for him, so even though this was something they did not want to do, they still ended up nodding in agreement.

After all, they were living in such a world. They did indeed require some self-defense skills of their own in case something unexpected happened.

But no one knew that there was also another reason why Liam had made this sort of requirement.

"Now, about the people waiting outside." He finally came to the main point. "First, collect their details. Then each of you can pick two people and keep them under you. You will be the leader, and you can delegate your work to them."

"As for dungeon runs and such, only the core guild group will be involved in this. The others have to work their way to get this chance. The same goes for food. Everything will be graded according to the work done. There will be no free handouts here."

After Liam announced the gist of what he had in mind, a few more of the guild members chipped in with their ideas, and soon, some sort of hierarchy was established. Different teams were set up, and even the housing space was expanded.

"At this rate, we will be taking over the whole city. Is that the plan?" Alex asked.

"Yes, but not yet." Liam replied.

"Huh?"

"The danger from the first wave is not yet completely over."

Alex was shocked. "What do you mean? We got the beast wave under control, killed the elites in the nearby areas, and closed the portals. Isn't everything already done?"

"No." Liam shook his head. "It's not that simple."

He sighed and explained. "The real disaster of the first wave is going to happen in the next few days."

"In about three to four days' time, some people are going to fall sick, some people are going to become extremely weak and ill, and lastly, some people are going to become violent and vicious."

"That's not all. They will also lose all sense of themselves and start attacking others. Sometimes even to death. You can say that they will turn into zombies."

Alex looked stunned. "Are you serious?" At this point, she did not even bother asking him how he knew about this.

"So just the beast wave and the civil unrest are not enough, huh… this kind of thing on top of everything else…" She bitterly smiled. It was almost as if humanity had no chance of survival.

She let out a deep sigh and then looked at the people gathered in the conference room. How many of them were going to make it?

Liam understood her thoughts very well. He wanted to tell her that the worst was yet to come but decided against it for now. It wouldn't be good to scare her senseless.

Instead, he gave her some good news.

"By the way, everyone here is safe. To be more precise, everyone who reached at least level 5 should be relatively safe."
