In front of David, the low-level zombies couldn’t pose any threat at all. In the blink of an eye, dozens of zombies surrounding him fell to the ground, becoming rotten corpses. ．𝙘𝙤𝙢
Watching from a distance, Fatso couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. He felt that it was a wise choice not to confront this guy head-on. Otherwise, he would probably have suffered a lot. Not only David, but the other members of the team quickly killed the remaining zombies cleanly.
“That was satisfying!” Arnold exclaimed excitedly towards the moon. In this slaughter, not only did each of them significantly improve their strength, but their coordination among the team also became seamless. Even Little Black and Cola managed to kill many zombies on their own.
Looking at the zombie corpses on the ground, David nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked towards a rooftop in the distance and signaled Arnold with a glance. The moment Fatso appeared, David sensed his presence. Arnold nodded, leaped up lightly, and pounced on Fatso .
“Oh no! I’ve been spotted!” Seeing Arnold leaping towards him, Fatso tried to run away. But Arnold’s speed was too fast; he appeared right in front of Fatso in an instant.
“Big brother, I’m just passing by. You guys continue with your business!” Fatso forced a smile when he saw Arnold. After speaking, he was about to flee again.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Arnold didn’t give him any face, grabbing his shoulder and lifting him into the air.
“Big brother, I’m afraid of heights. Take it easy!” Fatso said in panic. Soon, Arnold brought him in front of David.
It was then that David recognized the guy who sneaked into the greenhouse to steal the genetic fruit. He couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s you?”
Fatso opened his eyes at this moment and saw David. “Big brother, who else but me? I never thought we’d have such fate to meet here. I told you, even though the world is vast, we could still run into each other.”
Fatso started chatting with David, trying to distract him while continuously surveying the surroundings, attempting to leave as soon as possible. Not to mention the espers here, just the layers of zombie corpses under his feet made him nauseous and almost vomit. David had experienced this guy’s glib talk before and looked at him somewhat helplessly.
David didn’t know how this guy without awakened powers ended up in the zombie-infested town of D. So he asked, “What are you doing here?”
Hearing David’s question, Fatso sighed, “What else can we scavengers do here? Aren’t we just looking for some supplies? But damn, this place is so damn poor, not even a hair to be found!” Recalling his miserable experiences today, Fatso complained again.
This time, David understood the guy’s identity. However, he was somewhat surprised. With so many zombies around, how could this ordinary guy dare to venture in alone? Then he glanced at the knife at the guy’s waist and suddenly understood – this guy must have some strength.
After a moment of contemplation, David said to him again, “It’s too dangerous here. Follow us, and we’ll protect you if there’s any danger.” After thinking it over, Fatso nodded. After all, there was probably no hope left in this scavenging trip, and going back would also require a whole day’s journey. Instead of returning empty-handed, he’d rather hitch a ride with David and have some other gains along the way. He couldn’t bear to go back with nothing.
” I’ll comply then. Thank you, brother!” Fatso performed a martial arts salute towards David, and he also smiled at the other members of the team. Seeing this familiar guy, the others nodded in acknowledgment.
Next, David led the team to move forward, but the formation changed, with Fatso and Sophie in the center. Along the way, Fatso told David about the general situation of D town. After all, since he arrived here, he had explored every corner of the town and was very familiar with the terrain. David casually asked him some specific details, hoping to gain useful information.
“This town is full of zombies, and there’s nothing else. If I hadn’t reacted quickly when I arrived, I would have been done for! Luckily, I learned a few moves before, so dealing with them was a piece of cake,” Fatso said with a somewhat proud expression.
Arnold, however, looked at him disdainfully. He felt that Fatso’s mediocre skills were like acrobatics in the eyes of the espers, utterly unimpressive.
Fatso naturally noticed Arnold’s expression, but he just smirked and didn’t say anything.
“By the way, are there any mutant beasts around here?” David remembered the green giant python he saw on the way, as well as the inexplicable golden hard-shelled insects from earlier, so he asked.
“Mutant beasts?” Fatso pondered for a moment and then said, “When I was in the north of the town, I saw a message left on the wall by some survivors.”
“What did the message say?” Charles asked curiously.
“It was written there: “Bugs… ” Fatso tried to recall what he had seen.
“Bugs?” David frowned instantly. It reminded him of the group of golden hard-shelled insects. He thought this might have been a warning left by people who had encountered danger before entering D town, so they wanted to inform others. He quickly asked Fatso to lead the way to the wall where the writing was.
Soon, Fatso brought them there. They saw a wall with the words “Bugs Run” written in red material, just as Fatso had described. It seemed like the person who wrote it hadn’t finished it, but it was clear enough to read “Run.” It appeared that the person was suddenly attacked while writing.
David carefully observed the surroundings of this message and quickly discovered an arrow that seemed to have been deliberately erased. The arrow pointed towards a forest in a nearby park.
“I guess someone played a prank here, intentionally scaring people,” Fatso said to David.
David shook his head and turned to look at the forest in the park. The forest didn’t seem to be very large originally, but it had become overgrown due to neglect, and the area appeared to be more than twice its original size, filled with various weeds. It was eerily silent in the forest, not even a bird could be heard.
David stared intently at the forest and then suddenly turned to look at Fatso, which startled him.
