Looking at the armor in her hand, Sally was momentarily stunned, unsure of what David was up to. In her memory, she had never seen this type of armor before. The armor was dark blue in color, soft to the touch, and completely different from ordinary armor. Even with a glance, she could faintly see a radiant glow emanating from the armor.
“Find some time to dismantle this Winged Armor. The mysterious feather silk inside might be helpful for your electric abilities,” David explained briefly. Sally obediently nodded and put the Winged Armor in the bedroom.
David approached Brian’s door and lightly knocked. He whispered, “It’s me.”
After a moment, the door clicked and opened. Brian’s head poked out, but before he could speak, David said, “Get ready, we’re going out.”
“Going out?” Brian furrowed his brows. He wasn’t opposed to going out, but he was worried about leaving Lily behind.
Following up, David added, “Bring Lily to Arnold’s place. Let Arnold and Sophie take care of her.” Brian hesitated for a moment, seemingly trying to remember who Arnold was. But soon, his expression settled, and he nodded, turning back into the room. When he came out with Lily, it was already two minutes later.
David arranged for Arnold and his wife to take care of Lily and asked them to help her replenish her physical abilities. As an esper, Lily required a high level of physical fitness when using her abilities.
Ever since Lily experienced that painful torment last time, her body had become weak. She couldn’t even reach half of her previous physical capabilities. This was the main reason why Brian had always taken such good care of Lily. As an esper, he didn’t want to see Lily lose her physical strength, as it would be painful for him.
“David, don’t worry, we’ve got it covered,” Arnold patted his chest and smiled.
David nodded. Considering that Sally and he would be leaving, leaving no strong espers behind, he decided to leave Little Black behind.
Before leaving, Little Black clung to David’s leg, reluctant to let him go. Helplessly, he left behind five crystals, and only then did Little Black agree to his departure. This guy was just too greedy. The streets were filled with wandering zombies, but they were all low-level zombies that held no allure for David.
What David was looking for were the mutated zombies. Only mutated zombies were more likely to carry the crystals that espers needed. Cola quietly nestled in Sally’s arms, while Sally kept her eyes focused ahead. Whenever a zombie emerged, David drove past them expressionlessly, directly running them over.
In the back seat, Brian supported his chin with one hand, gazing out the window, lost in thought. David drove the car and arrived at the entrance of a building. The group got out of the car, and David swiftly retrieved it. He turned to face the approaching low-level zombies and calmly said, “Let’s go inside.”
With that, David took the lead and entered the building. Sally and Brian quickly followed suit, and once inside, they closed the door, leaving the pursuing low-level zombies outside.
David looked at the familiar building and sighed. If it weren’t for the apocalypse, he might still be working peacefully in this building. ｎ𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｃｏ𝚖
This building was the tallest in SJ City, and standing on the top floor allowed a panoramic view of the entire city. However, reaching the top floor was not easy as the building had already been occupied by zombies.
David calmly watched as dozens of zombies swarmed towards the first floor. He summoned his armor without panic and quickly drew his alloy sword. He stabbed a nearby zombie in the heart, temporarily disabling it for a few seconds.
With a swift motion, David pulled out the sword, precisely cutting open a wound on the zombie’s forehead. A crystal fell to the ground.
David swiftly picked it up and with a thought, it disappeared into his storage space.
[You obtained one primary crystal, critical hit multiplier activated! ]
[Congratulations, you obtained one hundred primary crystals! ]
[Attributes: None.]
David’s lips curled slightly upon hearing the attribute notification. Sally and Brian quickly joined the fight. Dealing with zombies was much easier for superhumans compared to ordinary people, especially with two third-level superhumans present!
Sally stood in place, manipulating lightning to attack the zombies. A single strike from her lightning caused a zombie to collapse. Cola let out a cry and swiftly swiped its claws across the fallen zombie’s forehead, causing another crystal to drop.
The coordination between David and the cat was excellent, and they quickly dispatched a dozen zombies. Brian’s efficiency was slower, but he managed to kill nearly ten zombies. He glanced at David, his face filled with astonishment. Near David, the corpses of the zombies had piled up like a small mountain, and the putrid blood constantly pooled on the ground, forming a dark pool of blood.
Brian swallowed nervously, completely impressed by David’s immense strength. After killing a zombie, he turned towards the entrance of the staircase’s secure passage. Just as he was about to push the door to the second floor, David furrowed his brow, and in an instant, he was by Brian’s side.
“Move!” David shouted loudly, pushing Brian to the side. At the same time, he leaped away from the door.
What’s happening? Brian looked at David in confusion, not knowing what was going on. And at that moment, a loud noise suddenly rang in his ears as the door of the secure passage was shattered, and wood chips flew everywhere! Following that, a group of zombies rushed out from the broken door with a menacing appearance.
Amongst these zombies stood an extremely tall and savage-looking one. Its flesh had long decayed, and the putrid blood continued to seep from its rotten body. Its head had half of its skull missing, with only two eyeless sockets and a torn mouth remaining. It turned its eye sockets, finally fixing its gaze on David.
The towering zombie emitted a piercing sound towards David, as if it had spotted its prey, its eyes filled with a desire to kill. David looked up, his brows furrowing involuntarily. He noticed that this creature had an eye, a brown crystal eye. Under the faint sunlight, the crystal emitted a subtle radiance, instantly catching David’s attention. Judging from the color and texture of this crystal, he knew it was not an ordinary one. It might even be a new type of crystal he had never seen before. While David was contemplating, the towering zombie suddenly moved its feet and appeared in front of David in an instant.
“Be careful!” Brian and Sally shouted loudly. Only then did David react, Secretly say not good! Just as he was about to wield his alloy short sword, the towering zombie slowly raised its hand and pointed directly at David’s forehead.
