This instantly made David vigilant, constantly observing every detail around him. The other members of the team also felt an invisible pressure and assumed combat stances.
Little Black and Cola even transformed directly and started roaring towards the distance. All of this indicated that the enemy’s strength surpassed everyone present. After observing for a while and seeing no movement around, David put away his spatial blade. He knew that the other side only wanted to kill Alvin and had no interest in them.
Duane also sheathed his machete and walked back to Alvin’s body. Looking at his former teammate and elder, Duane’s heart was filled with complex emotions. However, there was no trace of sympathy on his face.
Just because Alvin had killed the former captain of the Phoenix Rising squad, Adrian, Duane would never forgive him. He never expected that the man who had brought him back from the orphanage ,would die at the hands of his own team member. Duane felt a sudden pain in his heart.
Shirley, equally at a loss, stared at Alvin’s body with a face filled with sorrow and indignation. Seeing the two in such a state, David walked over to Duane and said, “This is the rule of the apocalypse. Whether they are enemies or comrades, we can’t see it with our naked eyes. In the fog, there will always be eyes watching us.” After speaking, David patted Duane’s shoulder. At the same time, he looked up at the sky and whispered, “May you live your life as a free butterfly.”
At that moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in David’s ears.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing an eighth-level zombie! ]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a defense crystal! ]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a hundredfold critical strike and obtaining one hundred defense crystals! ]
“A defense crystal?” David glanced at Alvin’s body with some surprise, but he quickly understood. Alvin’s eighth-level zombie form focused on physical defense, similar to a zombie. It was only natural to obtain defense crystals.
David watched as a hundred defense crystals entered the warehouse system, and his heavy heart finally felt some relief. With these hundred defense crystals, he could further upgrade the base.
Duane also reacted at this moment. He had obtained the answer he wanted, even though it made him angry. Alvin had been killed by David, which was equivalent to avenging his captain.
“I almost found out the secret of the Second Red Light. What a pity!” Duane shook his head. If he had another minute, he believed he could have extracted the secret of the Second Red Light from Alvin. However, that powerful esper behind the scenes thwarted his idea.
“It doesn’t matter. The truth will always come to light,” David said calmly. Duane nodded and shifted his gaze to Mandy, who was watching him from a distance with her head tilted. Instantly, his mouth twitched because he saw a piece of Mandy’s body burned by fire.
“I think you should give her back to me. If you keep tormenting her like this, I’m afraid I’ll be heartbroken,” Duane said to David with a resentful expression on his face. 𝑜𝑣𝘭.𝘯𝑡
Upon hearing Duane’s words, David quickly had a thought, and Mandy returned to her normal size. He then swiftly tucked her into his arms, as if nothing had happened.
David’s seamless movements made Duane feel as if he had rehearsed them many times, all to guard against him. Seeing his precious Mandy once again in David’s pocket, Duane could only force a bitter smile. If he could defeat the guy in front of him, he would have snatched Mandy back by now.
After a pause, Duane bent down and lifted Alvin’s body, saying to David, “Thank you for dealing with the traitor in our team. I’ve noted this favor, so if you ever need help, feel free to find me.” After speaking, Duane nodded at David and prepared to leave. Leaving Alvin’s body exposed in the wilderness was something Duane couldn’t do.
“Really?” Duane’s words immediately piqued David’s interest. Duane nodded earnestly, and David’s eyes lit up. “Actually, I have something I need your help with. While you’re at it, return this favor to me.”
“What is it?” Duane asked, pausing in his steps.
As they spoke, David’s gaze drifted towards the corner of the treasure chest peeking out from Duane’s arms, signaling him with his eyes. Duane was momentarily stunned, but he quickly understood!
Wow! He’s still thinking about my treasure? Does this guy have a conscience? Duane promptly shook his head and decisively said, “That’s not possible!” After speaking, he carried Alvin’s body and hastily fled the scene with Shirley. Their speed was so fast as if they were afraid that David would catch up and take their belongings.
Watching Duane disappear in a flash, David couldn’t help but shake his head. ” this guy is really stingy!”
“Worthless! He couldn’t even kill a David. He deserves to die!” In the courtyard, Alexander’s ethereal shadow sat on a high-backed chair. Thinking back to the moment when Alvin almost revealed the secret of the Second Red Light, he was filled with anger. Fortunately, he intervened in time and killed Alvin; otherwise, it would have brought him more trouble.
After a moment, Alexander quieted down, and the anger on his face subsided. Alvin was nothing more than a pawn to him, and his death had no effect on Alexander. Instead, it made him more interested in David.
“Awakening both spatial and defense abilities at the same time? I have to admit, you’re quite a genius.” Recalling David’s every move just now, a trace of admiration emerged on Alexander’s face, but it was immediately overshadowed by disdain. His level had already reached ten, and if he continued to delve into the wasteland and find higher-level treasures, his level would continue to rise.
By then, surpassing David would be effortless, and Alexander’s desire to rule the post-apocalyptic world would be within reach. In that case, not to mention killing one Alvin, even if there were thousands, Alexander would consider it as easy as blinking. At the same time, he thought of the several members of David’s team and secretly planned to find an opportunity to make them his spies. If he could cultivate one Alvin, he could cultivate a second one.
“Heh! How can a mere David compare to me? I’ll show you the true horror of the apocalypse.” Alexander sneered, stood up, and walked to the back door of the courtyard. Opening the door, the gloomy cold wind and desolate land greeted him. Looking around, he saw a scene of devastation. Without much thought, he stepped forward and entered the wasteland world.
