Looking at Gary’s lifeless body, David had an expressionless face, and his eyes seemed even colder. According to his words, this was originally a dog-eat-dog world. And for someone like him, who had humble power, his fate was destined to disappear from this world.
This made David couldn’t help but sigh at these guys. They truly lived up to their name as rats clan. They were the most insignificant existence in the world, to the point where not even their deaths would evoke sympathy from others. After witnessing his boss being shot dead by David, Dirk, who had been knocked out by Duke, suddenly woke up. He looked at David with fear in his eyes and quickly crawled away with all his limbs.
“Don’t! Don’t kill me!” Dirk pleaded to David out of his instinct for survival, fearing that a bullet would end his life.
Seeing this, Charles stepped forward, a cold light flashed across his neck. He raised his hand and the knife fell. A pool of red blood flowed from Dirk’s neck.
Watching Charles finish off Dirk, David nodded expressionlessly at him. He didn’t want to exterminate the weak. Instead, he understood the importance of eradicating the roots when cutting grass. This world was inherently dangerous, and he didn’t want to bring any hidden dangers to himself and his team. Being such a captain would be extremely irresponsible, and he absolutely couldn’t play with the lives of his team members.
Decisiveness in killing was the first survival rule taught by this world to every survivor. The others secretly nodded at Charles’ actions. In their eyes, even if Charles didn’t kill Dirk, someone else among them would have done it. Suddenly, the backbone members of the rat clan, including their leader, all lay in the underground parking lot, cold corpses.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a high-grade crystal!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a medium-grade crystal!] .𝒄𝒐𝒎
At the same time, the voice of the system echoed in David’s ears. Wow! He obtained a high-grade crystal and a medium-grade crystal?Upon hearing the system’s voice, David became delighted. At the same time, he realized that the high-grade crystal should have come from Gary, while the medium-grade crystal came from Little Qing Rosa.
However, David looked at the bodies of the others with some disappointment. Perhaps because they were not Espers, David didn’t obtain any crystals from them. Just as David was contemplating, the system’s voice suddenly rang in his ears again.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Beast Pill!]
Hearing this sound, David was stunned. Beast Pill? At the same time, he noticed a faint glow emanating from the body of the snake spirit. He quickly approached and took out his alloy dagger, decisively cutting open its body. And then he saw it, a round, egg-sized shining object suddenly appearing before his eyes.
David carefully held it in his hand, realizing that this should be the Beast Pill mentioned by the system. However, he didn’t understand what use this thing had. The system, as if understanding his thoughts, began to explain.
[Beast Pill: Obtained from the body of a beast, it contains the essence of the beast and can promote the beast’s evolution.]
[It can also randomly grant the beast special abilities.]
[Note: Beasts of different levels have different properties for the Beast Pill.]
After hearing this explanation, David immediately understood. In simple terms, the Beast Pill contained the essence of a beast within it. Any beast that consumed it could gain a level increase according to its own circumstances and also had a chance to obtain different special abilities. This truly surprised David.
David didn’t expect such a thing to exist in this world, so he shifted his focus to Cola and Little black. After a brief thought, he felt that it would be better to deal with the corpses in front of him first. It would be quite a downer to have them lying in front of his base.
So they began to clean up together. After loading all the bodies onto the pickup truck, Charles threw them onto the street outside. Looking at the bodies, David knew that the scent of blood in the air would soon attract some zombies. He had a clever idea and let Little black guard the area. When the zombies appeared, he would alert them. This way, they could set up an ambush and gain some experience points.
“Little black, the experience of our team depends on you. You have to stay alert!” David patted Little black’s head and reminded him.
Seeing David entrusting such an important task to him, Little black wagged his tail and started patrolling near the bodies. The others returned to the base one after another.
“That big snake from earlier was so terrifying!” Sitting on the sofa, Sally couldn’t help but tremble when she remembered the sudden evolution of the snake spirit.
“Yeah! I didn’t expect the rat clan to have such powerful individuals.” Sophie also sat down and agreed.
The reason they were so amazed was that they hadn’t experienced any major situations before. Even if there were, they would be protected by the others and couldn’t participate in the fight at all. So when they saw the snake spirit, they were instantly shocked.
At this moment, Arnold poured a glass of whiskey and smiled at the two, saying, “What’s the big deal? Compared to the Titan Zombie, that snake is nothing. We can kill the Titan Zombie, let alone a pesky snake.”
Upon hearing Arnold call the snake spirit a pesky snake, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere of worry dissipated. Duke suddenly stood up and said, “If it weren’t for David, we would have probably died both times.”
His words made everyone nod in agreement. Duke was right. If it weren’t for David, they would have likely become food for the zombies long ago. Every time danger came, wasn’t it David who stepped forward? Wasn’t it David who turned the tide in the most critical moments? So they couldn’t help but look at David, their eyes filled with gratitude.
They were grateful not only because David had saved their lives time and time again, but also because he had brought them the sense of security that was most lacking in this world. They could now sit together like a family, chatting and laughing, and it was all thanks to David.
Seeing the expressions of the others, David smiled and said, “We are a team, and there’s no need to discuss who deserves credit. In my eyes, each and every one of you is indispensable to our team. Without you, I would probably have died in this world long ago.”
Upon hearing David’s words, everyone felt moved in their hearts. Charles, who had just joined the group, felt this even more so. It was the first time since coming to this world that he had felt such a sense of gratitude. At this moment, David took out fifty low-grade crystals from the warehouse system and handed them to everyone, instructing them to break through their own levels as soon as possible.
