David slightly furrowed his brow and chuckled, “Wow, this wasteland world is quite something, zombies one after another.”
However, sensing a slightly different aura, David felt that the newcomers might not be zombies but rather members of the Kui tribe, similar to those three men. But in David’s view, whether zombie monsters or Zerg-like Kui tribe, they were all stepping stones for him in this wasteland world.
“Let’s go out and take a look,” David said to Mandy as he stood up from the couch. Mandy nodded and followed David out of the base.
“Hehe, mere humans dare to come to the Wasteland Realm?” as soon as they stepped outside, a seductive and feminine voice sounded.
David looked up and saw an enchanting woman in a red robe standing there. Her slender fingers casually twirled her long hair by her ear, and a pair of peach blossom eyes stared meaningfully at David. The three men who were previously with her stood by her side; the newcomer was Viola.
“Queen, it’s this guy!” the leader man said when he saw David come out, his expression immediately turning fierce as he pointed at David.
David couldn’t help but chuckle; it seemed the tactic of calling for backup when unable to fight was universal across worlds. He looked at the Kui tribe woman before him and said, “Humans can tread anywhere. Do you have a problem? Hurry up and take your lackeys away from here. You’re no match for me.”
David’s words were direct, and he didn’t even bother to look at them after a cursory glance. Viola was momentarily stunned, surprised by David’s audacity. Despite her long time in the Wasteland world, she had never encountered someone so arrogant. Even her nemesis, the Zerg, would show her some respect. How was it that in front of this human, she felt inferior?
However, Viola wasn’t angry; the strangeness of the Wasteland world had already taught her to be deeply cunning.
“You talk big, but I wonder about your strength. Regardless, you’ve hurt my men, so you owe me an explanation. Otherwise, you won’t leave here alive,” each word from Viola was cold and sinister; in her eyes, David had issued a challenge, and she didn’t need to hold back.
As the Queen of the Kui tribe, she had to exude power and authority; otherwise, how could she establish herself here? The leader man beside her also kept throwing threats at David:”Kid, I advise you to be sensible! If you chop off an arm and a leg right now, perhaps our queen might spare your life! Otherwise, you’ll face consequences like you’ve never imagined!” The other two men, who had been beaten by David, clenched their fists and echoed in agreement.
“Yes! Go ahead and do it yourself! Daring to be arrogant in front of our Kui tribe, you’re truly underestimating your capabilities!” One by one, they were eager to charge at David and teach him a lesson for what he had done earlier.
However, when they saw Mandy raising her fist, they involuntarily shivered. David couldn’t stand their noise, waving his hand and saying, “So much nonsense, doesn’t your face hurt?”
David looked at Viola again and said, “The Wasteland world isn’t just the world of you and the Zerg. If humans want to step in, we will.” .
Since the apocalypse, humans had first lived through the end of the world and now found themselves in the wasteland. Even if at this moment, it was just David alone in this place, he knew that sooner or later, humans would ultimately rule here. All the monsters and ghosts were merely corpses beneath the feet of humans. This world originally belonged to humans. Zombie monsters, Zerg-like Kui tribe, they were all derivatives of the apocalypse. So how could they rise above humans?
David’s words made Viola hesitate for a moment. He hadn’t expected this human before him to actually know about the Zerg.
“Could this guy know where the Heart of the Zerg is?” a guess suddenly appeared in Viola’s mind. She had long been eager for the Heart of the Zerg, searching for it for days. Yet until now, there had been no information about it.
Watching the Zerg grow stronger day by day, Viola couldn’t help but feel anxious. When the Zerg truly became powerful and spread its influence throughout the wasteland world, where would her Kui tribe stand? This was the reason she wanted the Heart of the Zerg, to defeat the Zerg and establish a Kui tribe empire in the wasteland.
If David knew about the Heart of the Zerg, Viola felt that this human before her, at least for now, wasn’t an enemy. So she looked at David, her tone becoming somewhat gentle.
“Do you know about the Zerg? And do you know about the Heart of the Zerg?” Hearing this name again, David pondered for a moment before nodding. This caused a wave of excitement that Viola couldn’t conceal to spread across her face. Just as she had suspected, this human knew about the location of the Heart of the Zerg. David immediately caught Viola’s reaction and understood her thoughts.
“Shall we make a deal? If you lead me to find the Heart of the Zerg, I can offer you any assistance you need.” Viola couldn’t wait any longer and quickly voiced her idea, her tone drastically different from before. She was treating David as an esteemed guest.
David couldn’t help but find this situation a bit amusing. He did know about the Heart of the Zerg, but where it was specifically, he had no clue. So, was this woman really about to cooperate with him?
However, after some consideration, David thought there was no harm in agreeing. It might speed up his familiarity with the wasteland world. Besides, with the Kui tribe’s help, he should be able to find plenty of zombie monsters. So David nodded.
“No problem, but you have to follow my lead in everything. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to help you find the Heart of the Zerg.” David had to seize this opportunity and maintain the upper hand.
Viola agreed without hesitation. She felt that nothing was more important than the Heart of the Zerg, and this human before her didn’t seem capable of stirring up much trouble. Either way, everything would be under her control.
“Deal!” Seeing David and Mandy transition from enemies to their allies, the leader man was a bit confused. Weren’t they here for revenge? How did they become partners? What about the revenge they three brothers were planning?
“But…” The man wanted to voice his discontent, but Viola’s gaze silenced him quickly. Touching their still swollen cheeks, the three men could only accept their misfortune.
“I’m Viola, the Queen of the Kui tribe.” Viola introduced herself first.
David also mentioned his name, though he wasn’t particularly interested in her title as queen. He addressed her by her name directly.
Viola didn’t mind any of this. With the Heart of the Zerg almost within her grasp, a trace of excitement once again appeared on her fair cheeks.
