Inside the base, after tidying up the room, Charles took out the three defensive crystal formations that David had given him. Looking at these three sparkling diamond-shaped crystals, he had a thought and began to consume them. Three wisps of faint white smoke quickly evaporated from the crystals and permeated his body through the skin. As soon as the smoke entered his body, it rapidly spread throughout him.
Wherever the white smoke went, Charles could clearly feel a warm current passing through. This warm current was like a gentle spring breeze, like a murmuring stream, bringing a sense of comfort wherever it went. This surprised him greatly. He never expected these three crystals to bring him such a comfortable feeling. In the past, he had consumed other crystals, mostly low-level ones, which didn’t give him any sensation or help with his abilities.
But these three crystals clearly felt different. After the warm current flowed through his body, Charles could feel slight vibrations in his organs, gradually transmitting to the surface of his skin. Astonishingly, a faint protective barrier formed on his body. When he lightly tapped the protective barrier with his finger, Charles could hear a crisp sound. The sound seemed as strong as steel, making him feel invincible just by listening to it.
Now, Charles couldn’t contain his excitement anymore. He stood up and carefully examined the protective barrier. The shimmering and colorful shield truly amazed him. Previously, he enjoyed wandering outside, but now he finally had a safe place. This protective barrier undoubtedly increased his defense significantly. Even without offensive capabilities, such a powerful defense provided a sense of security. Feeling the strength of his body, Charles couldn’t help but show an excited smile.
At the same time, Charles was also curious about David. What kind of person could possess crystals with such great power? However, he had no intention of using his abilities on David. Doing so would undoubtedly indicate a lack of trust in him. Charles respected a team that could accommodate him, so he didn’t plan to harm David with these matters.
Suddenly, Charles heard the sound of grinding coming from outside the base. It seemed like someone was hammering something. This piqued his curiosity, and he pushed open the door and walked outside the base. Immediately, he saw six vehicles neatly arranged in the underground parking lot, including the pickup truck he had his eyes on. Beside the six vehicles were piles of supplies, such as alloy steel plates, short knives, long guns, iron chains, and more.
David, holding a hammer, was continuously pounding on an alloy steel plate. Charles walked over with confusion, approached David, and crouched down, asking, “What are you doing?”
Seeing Charles, David smiled and revealed his plan to build an apocalypse war vehicle.
“Apocalypse war vehicle?” Charles slightly trembled at the name and showed an excited expression on his face. The reason he wanted to steal a pickup truck here was to build a versatile war vehicle that could protect him. This way, he could rely on the vehicle to travel outside. Unexpectedly, he had the same idea as David.
Immediately, Charles rolled up his sleeves and began helping David. Due to limited materials, David’s modification plan was relatively simple. They first attached alloy steel plates around the vehicle to increase its defense. Then, they welded long guns, short knives, and iron chains around the vehicle, significantly enhancing their offensive capabilities.
At the same time, David also added approximately one-inch-long iron nails to the wheels of each vehicle, ensuring that they could destroy any obstacles while driving. With Charles’ help, the modification plan progressed quickly. Two hours later, the six vehicles were completely transformed by the two of them. They exchanged smiles as they looked at the renewed and imposing six war vehicles. With these vehicles, their future operations would encounter far fewer difficulties.
After some thought, David said to Charles, “Can you use your abilities to predict any vulnerabilities in these vehicles?”
Upon hearing David’s request, Charles nodded and closed his eyes. In that moment of closing his eyes, a dazzling halo instantly appeared behind him. The halo was densely engraved with peculiar patterns, and each pattern was surrounded by radiant stars. At this moment, Charles was floating in mid-air.
Then, the halo slowly began to rotate, and the stars surrounding the patterns started to scatter, enveloping Charles in an instant. Suddenly, David felt as if Charles was strolling through the galaxy, able to see through any cosmic mysteries.
After about a minute, the stars around Charles suddenly dimmed, and the halo behind him slowly disappeared into the void. Finally, the halo vanished completely, and Charles descended gently to the ground.
“How is it? Could you predict it?” David asked eagerly.
Charles nodded and immediately described the images he had just seen. Listening to Charles, David nodded thoughtfully. He then picked up his tools and reinforced some parts of the vehicles based on Charles’ description.
Finally, when Charles nodded in approval, David stopped satisfactorily. Now, his apocalypse war vehicles had received comprehensive reinforcement, covering all the vulnerabilities.
“From now on, our team will be a car family. No more walking every day.” Thinking back to their previous missions, where their team had to rely on their legs for transportation, David couldn’t help but smile. At this moment, other team members heard the commotion and walked out of the base. When they saw the six colossal vehicles, they were instantly dumbfounded.
“Oh my God, are these modified apocalypse war vehicles?” 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨
“So cool! With these vehicles, I can kill an average of 100 zombies per minute.”
“Amazing, we finally don’t have to walk anymore.”
The group of people gathered around the apocalypse war vehicles, filled with excitement, their hands unable to resist touching the vehicles, especially Sally and Sophie. When they saw the two Porsche sports cars that David had modified, their eyes lit up.
To cater to their girlish desires, David even prepared two pink stickers and completely wrapped the cars with them. From a distance, it was full of girly vibes.
“David, you’re amazing! I love this car so much,” Sally couldn’t help but exclaim as she looked at the pink war vehicle, her girlish heart overflowing.
