Monica looked at David gratefully, her eyes filled with gratitude. With this, she was no longer a wanderer in the apocalypse but a formal member of Team Embers.
Team Embers had grown from its initial two or three members to the current seven. Each person’s strength was rapidly increasing, making them David’s most capable assistants. Additionally, there was Cola, who possessed the talent of a demon king, and Little Black, a hellhound.
Observing the people before him, David nodded in approval. In this moment, he thought of Danny, who had already died, and Danny’s initial aspiration. Unfortunately, Danny hadn’t been able to control the entirety of the apocalypse; instead, he had fallen at David’s feet. Danny’s desire had now become David’s imminent goal. 𝒆𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙚𝙩
Over the next few days, Duane, leading the members of Phoenix Rising, accurately reported the positions of every zombie in the city to Team Embers. With this information, David quickly began the task of clearing out the zombies with the entire team. The zombies that emerged from the rifts in the sky were indeed powerful, but they were like ants in front of David, easily vanquished. Even the other members of the team, under David’s influence, fought more courageously, relentlessly killing the zombies that appeared before them. Countless zombie bodies piled up on the ground, and hordes of zombies swarmed towards them.
In this moment, David was like a descending god of death. Wherever he went, blood and flesh flew. Numerous zombies wailed, and as he passed, they turned into bloody masses. Monica, the new member of the team, was also exceptionally fierce, cutting down zombies alongside David on the battlefield.
Soon, as the sun set, the streets of the city were covered in blood, corpses littered the ground. Team Embers members wiped blood off their faces, their gazes cold as they looked at the bodies. Under their frenzied massacre, hundreds of zombies had turned into corpses. Watching the blood-soaked figures on the monitor, Duane involuntarily swallowed. This battle had exceeded his expectations.
David not only led his team to kill all the zombies, but he also took care of the remaining Kill God Gang and the other dubious esper teams. Looking across the city, only Team Embers and Phoenix Rising remained.
“So terrifying! David is really a madman!” Duane, at this moment, was relieved that he hadn’t become David’s enemy. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to sit quietly in the base now.
Shirley was also staring at the screen, her eyes widened. After a pause, she turned her head and earnestly said to Duane, “Captain, how about we also consider joining David’s team?”
Duane looked at Shirley, who was full of expectation, and his mouth twitched involuntarily. He had also considered having all the members of Phoenix Rising join Team Embers, but he didn’t approach David about it because he knew that someday his team would become the force behind David. So he decided to keep Phoenix Rising and silently support David from behind.
Stepping on the corpses of the zombies, David led the team back to the base.
“Today’s battle was so exciting! Not only did I get my fill, but my level also increased to level nine in the battle!” Arnold picked up a bottle of cold water from the table and finished it in one gulp, excitedly saying. And it wasn’t just him; the levels of the other members of the team also shot up during the battle.
Currently, the lowest level in the team was Sophie at level eight. However, as a healing-type esper, being at level eight already surpassed all other healing-type espers.
Monica was even more surprised as she looked at her body now at level nine. The abundant power she felt, seemingly invisible, made her feel excited about the strength. She looked at David gratefully, knowing that if it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have survived, let alone leveled up. After changing into clothes soaked in blood, everyone started to freshen up, and in no time, they all gathered in the bedroom.
During this time, Duane had also brought Shirley over. Upon seeing Shirley, Fatso hurriedly wiped his wet hair and immediately went over. Shirley, as usual, was playing with Cola, holding the little creature.
This caused Fatso to glare at Cola fiercely, as if reproaching the little creature for stealing his affection. Cola, on the other hand, provocatively lay in Shirley’s arms, burying its head between her breasts. This made Fatso so frustrated that he almost wished he could replace Cola.
Watching Fatso’s anxious expression, David chuckled helplessly. The current atmosphere within the team was exactly what he envisioned harmonious, orderly, and respectful.
Pausing for a moment, David looked at everyone and spoke, “Now, the entire city only has our Team Embers and Phoenix Rising, the two esper teams. It can be said that this city is now ours.”
As he spoke, David looked up at Duane, who respectfully nodded in response. David slowly revealed a faint smile.
“Tomorrow, I will enter the Wasteland World for a new journey. You all need to stay here and build our own city. Build our own city?” As David uttered these words, everyone paused for a moment, then their expressions immediately became resolute as they nodded in agreement with David.
At this point, no matter what David said, everyone had no objections. What they could do was simply follow David’s arrangements.
Last night, David had worked through the night to upgrade the base to the top floor of the skyscraper. Now, this ten-story skyscraper had become their entire base. The base’s robust defenses covered the entire building, and each floor had been transformed by David using some resources into different facilities. There were training rooms, recreational rooms, gyms, and David even converted an entire floor into a swimming pool.
David had done his best to make each floor of the base suitable for his team members to live in. This way, he could ensure that their lives in the apocalypse would no longer be dull. Additionally, when hunting zombies, David had Arnold capture dozens of low-level zombies. These zombies had been stripped of their killing consciousness by Charles, becoming true mindless undead. These zombies could follow human commands, assisting them with labor-intensive tasks.
After all, the task of building a city was cumbersome, and relying solely on the few members of the team was not enough. The presence of these zombies provided them with excellent help.
Next, David explained his blueprint for transforming the backyard. In David’s description, it was a paradise-like place, resembling a utopia. It not only retained the prosperity of the city before the apocalypse but also featured unique landscapes.
At the same time, David formulated a document for future survivors to stay in his backyard. This way, the outline of a city began to take shape in everyone’s minds, gradually materializing from David’s ideas.
