Looking at the corpses of zombies scattered on the ground, David’s eyes lit up. These bodies were full of crystals! It was truly a fruitful harvest!
A slight smile appeared on David’s lips as he called out to Arnold, who was covered in rotting flesh, beside him. “Quick, dig out the crystals from their foreheads. While the other zombies haven’t arrived yet, let’s collect all the crystals from these corpses. It’s our current task.”
“Okay, got it.” Arnold gasped for breath, observing David who didn’t seem to be out of breath at all, and couldn’t help but wonder what he did before. Facing so many zombies and not even breathing heavily afterward… It seemed like he needed to step up his training!
With that in mind, Arnold mustered up his courage and started collecting the crystals from the zombies on the ground, following David’s lead.
Just as Little Black was about to pick up a crystal from the ground to secretly devour it, a pair of feet suddenly stomped on it. Startled, Little Black jumped aside. The feet directly crushed the crystal. Little Black growled at the person, expressing its dissatisfaction.
“Hey, Little Black, you’re so ugly and fierce. Be careful, big brother might stew you and eat you.” The man laughed and spoke to Little Black.
Hearing the voice, David looked towards the man. Behind the man were several fierce-looking youths who were picking up the crystals from the zombies David had defeated. David and his team worked so hard to defeat the zombies. These people actually want to come over and pick up the leak?.
David let out a cold snort and stored the crystals he held in his hand into his storage space.
[You obtained six primary crystals. Critical hit effect active: 100,000! ]
[Congratulations, you obtained 600,000 primary crystals! ]
“Boss, look at that person’s backpack on his back.” One of the man’s lackeys nudged his arm and pointed at the backpack behind Arnold. It was filled with things and seemed quite abundant and eye-catching.
A slight smirk appeared on the man’s lips as he beckoned his lackeys and walked towards Arnold’s position. “Hey!” The man crossed his arms and stood in front of Arnold with an imposing stance. “What’s in the backpack behind you? Show it to us.”
Arnold frowned and took a step back. “I advise you not to mess around.” He tightly gripped his long knife. However, these people showed no signs of panic upon seeing his actions.
The next moment, the man called one of his lackeys, a bespectacled young man, to step forward. “Brother,” he whispered.
The man nodded and gave a signal to the lackey. “This one’s up to you.”
The young man glanced briefly at Arnold and furrowed his brow. “Brother, this is just an ordinary person. Do we need to be so harsh?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man kicked the young man. Despite the kick, the young man didn’t bend his leg and stood straight in place. “Stop with the bullshit. When I tell you to attack, you attack. Finish the person off and grab the belongings.”
Gritting his teeth, the young man remained silent. He looked up at Arnold and apologized, “Sorry, it wasn’t intentional.” With that, the young man moved swiftly and appeared behind Arnold.
“No!” Arnold scolded, instinctively clutching the backpack behind him. The young man’s hand had just grabbed Arnold’s backpack and was about to exert force, but he didn’t expect Arnold’s reaction to be so quick. Seizing the opportunity while the young man was momentarily stunned, Arnold swiftly turned his body and his knee quickly struck the young man’s abdomen.
“Ugh!” The young man’s pupils widened as he hastily jumped back a few steps.
“Damn it! If you dare to lose, your little girlfriend might not make it!” the man’s voice came through.
David stood nearby, listening to these words with disdain in his heart. No wonder this situation seemed strange. It turned out they were exploiting this young man’s weakness. However, this person was actually an esper, and he seemed to possess shadow abilities similar to Cola.
With that in mind, David’s mind flickered. Holding the Blade of Space in his hand, he swiftly launched an attack, slashing towards the man’s neck. Before anyone could react, the man’s head had already fallen off.
“Boss!” The first lackey to react shouted loudly, his eyes filled with fear. Nobody had seen David’s actions.
The young man stood there in confusion, gazing at the rolling head on the ground, unsure of what to do.
Arnold looked at the dispirited young man and quickly approached David. “David, what should we do next?”
David glanced at the corpses of the surrounding zombies. They had collected most of the crystals from the zombies’ bodies, but there were still many zombies nearby. When the head fell, the surrounding zombies must have already caught the scent. It was time to leave.
In the next moment, David’s ears heard the sound of zombies approaching. He summoned the car and quickly sat in the driver’s seat. “Get in.”
As he spoke, Little Black barked and agilely jumped into the car. Arnold glanced at the bewildered young man standing still, then turned to David. “David, that kid is also an esper. Maybe he can join us.”
Listening to Arnold’s words, David had considered the possibility. However, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t betray them. According to what the man had said, his girlfriend was still in their hands.
David twisted the car key, and the car hummed to life. Arnold quickly got into the car. Just as they were about to drive away, the zombies swarmed out, rushing towards those men.
“Ah!” Subsequently, cries of agony rang out. Just as several zombies were about to devour the bewildered young man who was frozen in place, David drove the car and ran over them.
“Get in,” David kicked open the passenger seat, coldly saying to the young man. A shadow esper, if cultivated properly, would be a formidable force here.
As for this person, he could be tested for a while. If he proved unsuitable, David had the capability to kill him on the spot. 𝑜𝑣𝘭.𝘯𝑡
The young man stared blankly at David. David clicked his tongue and said indifferently, “If you want to save your girlfriend, get in the car.”
As if the word “girlfriend” was his switch, upon hearing that, his eyes finally showed a reaction. He nodded, quickly grabbed the car door, and leaped inside.
As soon as the young man got in the car, David quickly started the vehicle and sped away. The men left behind in the area were not as fortunate. Among them, besides having physical strength, they had no other ability to fight against the zombies. Faced with a large number of zombies, it didn’t take long for them to be devoured like snacks.
