As for what Brian and Lily were thinking, David didn’t know. But as long as their actions were harmful to his team, he would eliminate them without hesitation.
With these thoughts in mind, David looked at Duke. In his eyes, Duke was like a newborn baby, just beginning to understand and navigate this world. It wouldn’t be difficult to bring someone like him under his wing. David’s lips curled slightly as he said, “Work for me.”
Duke was stunned, wondering what this meant. He was about to say something when David preempted him, adding, “Of course, if you’re not willing, I suggest you go feed the zombies right now.”
Those words hit Duke, and his face turned dark. “I can survive without these supplies!” he wanted to say. He believed he could still make it. However, as he looked around the surrounding buildings, he trembled. After the recent battle, he had somewhat understood the power of the zombies. When he peered into the buildings, he swallowed hard. Smoke filled the air, and only a flickering street lamp illuminated the scene. Inside the buildings, numerous eyes were fixed on the four of them, as if watching prey, waiting for the right moment to strike. These eyes were both high and low.
Duke turned in a circle and realized that he had weapons, which allowed him to fight against the zombies. However, even the lowest-level zombies, if there were enough of them, would eventually overwhelm him. He would surely die here.
“Have you made up your mind?” David said, and with a thought, a vehicle was summoned from his storage space, appearing before them.
“A car?!” Duke exclaimed. Seeing this, Danny and Brian had already gotten into the car. Based on their previous experience, Danny knew that when David brought out a car, it meant they were going to escape.
David looked at Duke without responding. He simply glanced at the time, waiting for Duke’s answer. As soon as the car appeared, the surrounding zombies began to stir, as if they were about to charge out.
If Duke didn’t provide an answer within three seconds, David would get in the car and leave, and countless zombies would flood out. Duke would undoubtedly become one of them. Watching the seconds tick on his watch, David silently counted down in his mind, “3, 2, 1…”
At the moment he reached “1” in his mind,Duke wavered. “Fine,” he said through gritted teeth, clenching his fist. In the end, he compromised. David nodded, turned around, and quickly got into the car.
“Roar!” As soon as David jumped into the car, hordes of zombies surged forward! Countless zombies, young and old, even those as young as toddlers, charged out. David shouted at Duke, “Stop standing there! Get in the car!” 𝘦.𝘰𝘳𝑔
With that, David swiftly started the car, its engine roaring. At the moment the car began to move, Duke grabbed onto it and jumped on. He held onto the exterior of the vehicle, with a zombie’s hand tightly grabbing his clothes. “Damn it, my clothes were just ruined earlier. They can’t be ruined again!” If they were ruined, he would have nothing left to wear!
Duke picked up his sword and decisively chopped off the zombie’s hand that had grabbed his clothes! But in an instant, before he could get inside the car, more and more zombies rushed forward, grabbing onto his clothes once again.
“Darn it! Is there no end to this?” Duke gritted his teeth and directly took off his shirt. “Here, take it all if you want!” The zombies grabbed at his clothes, losing their balance and falling backwards. Seizing the opportunity, Duke didn’t hesitate and quickly got into the car.
Bang! He swiftly closed the door. Thud. An arm of a zombie fell into the car. “So persistent.” Duke shivered, clutching his arm, and disdainfully glanced at the arm on the floor. David, sitting in the driver’s seat, looked at him through the rearview mirror before focusing on driving.
David quickly stepped on the accelerator, and within an hour, they were back downstairs. After getting out of the car, David used his mind to retrieve the car and store it in the space.
Rubbing his arm, Duke looked up at the building in front of him. “This is…” Before he could finish his sentence, David and the others had already started walking towards the building. Duke quickly moved and followed them.
When David reached Arnold’s room door, he remembered something and turned to look at Danny. “Why are you following me?”
Danny smiled, hands in his pockets. “I’m just here to protect you, aren’t I?”
Suspicious, David muttered to himself, “You shouldn’t come in, just leave quickly.” With that said, he knocked on the door. “It’s me.”
Footsteps could be heard from inside, and soon Arnold opened the door. “David!” Arnold’s eyes lit up, and when he turned his head, he noticed Danny following behind David, as well as Duke with his bare arms.
“Come in,” David said calmly. Duke quickly moved and was the first to enter. Brian followed closely behind. Just as Danny was about to go in, David stepped in before him, and without hesitation, he closed the door.
Danny looked at the closed door in front of him and chuckled helplessly. “Quite vigilant.” He sighed and turned to leave. Just as he turned around, his pocket buzzed. He took out his phone and impatiently answered the call from Monica. “Monica, what’s up?”
“Is it done?” Monica coldly asked. There was a zombie’s roar from the other end of the phone, but it abruptly stopped after just two seconds.
As Danny spoke, he walked forward. “It’s done, but it failed.”
Inside the room, when Lily heard the commotion, she put down her chopsticks and looked up. However, her first glance wasn’t at Brian but was drawn to the shirtless Duke. Duke was clearly someone who exercised regularly. Whether it was his chest muscles or his abs, there was no flab on his body. Such a physique would make any girl marvel at its perfection.
Lily swallowed nervously. She was captivated by the sight, even David didn’t notice the way she was observing. After two seconds, she snapped out of it. Instead, she stood up and walked towards Brian, linking her arm with his, and scolded, “You, where did you go today? I woke up and couldn’t find you anywhere.”
