After David left, he smoothly descended the stairs along the corridor. The hallway was quiet, and David didn’t find any trace of zombies. If someone didn’t know, they would have thought that the building had already turned into an empty one. However, as David descended the stairs, he occasionally heard some faint sounds coming from various rooms.

David knew that those were the survivors hiding in the rooms. Zombies were sensitive to sound, so they stayed at home quietly, not daring to make too much noise. As soon as David walked out of the unit door, he immediately encountered two zombies.

When these two zombies saw David, they became excited instantly, like beasts seeing their prey. They roared and rushed towards David. Watching their movements, David was slightly surprised. In just one night, these two zombies’ movements seemed much more coordinated than the zombies he encountered yesterday.

The zombies he encountered yesterday seemed a bit sluggish, as if their limbs couldn’t keep up with their brains. But today, they could run like normal people. Moreover, their nails seemed to have grown longer, appearing quite sharp. “The speed at which these zombies are evolving is even faster than I imagined.”

In the previous outbreak, David mostly stayed at home during the initial period and didn’t notice these subtle changes in the zombies. David extended his hand, but this time he didn’t summon his alloy warblade. He simply condensed the power of space in his hand, forming a spatial blade rapidly.

David launched the spatial blade, distorting the surrounding light with the space, making the spatial blade appear like a semi-transparent sickle. As the blade swept through, one zombie’s head was instantly cleaved in two, and its body lost momentum, falling heavily to the ground.

David’s hand didn’t stop, and he summoned another spatial blade, slicing the other zombie’s head in half as well. Within a few seconds, he effortlessly killed both zombies.

“Not bad, this spatial ability is quite useful in combat.” It not only had strong destructive power but was also safer than close-quarters combat. David took out a mutated crystal and held it in his hand, slowly absorbing the energy within the crystal. This was a technique he discovered last night for using the mutated crystal.

When a portion of the energy in his body was consumed, the energy absorbed from the mutated crystal would be prioritized to replenish the energy in his body. The excess energy would then be used to enhance the user’s strength. In other words, the mutated crystal could be used to some extent as a “mana regeneration” item. However, at this stage, this usage was quite luxurious. David estimated that he was probably the only one doing this for now. Well, he had millions of crystals in his backpack anyway, so there was no need to be stingy.

David walked up to the corpses of the two zombies and skillfully opened the skin on their foreheads. He found only one mutated crystal in each of the two zombies, and David stored the crystals in his storage space.

[You obtained 1 mutated crystal, 100,000 times critical strike effect!]

[Congratulations, you obtained 100,000 mutated crystals!]

After receiving a 100,000-fold critical strike, a mutated crystal directly turned into 100,000 crystals, leaving David with a satisfied smile. No matter how many times he repeated it, the feeling of a 100,000-fold critical strike was always exhilarating.

“I can’t waste time; I need to collect more crystals today.” David continued walking towards the residential area. There were many wandering zombies in the neighborhood, but they were relatively scattered, unlike the clustered groups on the streets.

As long as David was careful not to attract too much attention from the zombies, it was relatively safe. When he was in the supermarket, nearly a hundred zombies couldn’t pose a threat to him. Now, with awakened abilities, these zombies would find it difficult to pose a threat to him…

Angus woke up from his sleep and looked out the window, realizing that it was just early evening. He reached for his pocket instinctively, only to remember that he had already smoked his last cigarette.

“Damn it!” Angus felt extremely annoyed without cigarettes to satisfy his craving. He absentmindedly threw the lighter onto the table. On the table, there were two leftover buckets of instant noodles, with a few cigarette butts mixed in with the soup, emitting a strange smell. Angus stared blankly at the ceiling.

“No cigarettes, no food, nothing.” He felt agitated and started to have random thoughts. Somehow, he started thinking about Sally again, picturing her beautiful face and alluring figure.

“A woman like her, if I could have her even once, it would be worth dying for.” Angus became more and more restless as he thought about it, so he took out his phone and started browsing videos. The internet was still accessible, but now it was flooded with information about zombies and doomsday.

Suddenly, a video caught Angus’ attention. In the video, several seemingly deranged men were torturing a woman in a room. The woman was completely naked, her body covered in blood and flesh, continuously begging and screaming. The more the woman screamed in agony, the more excited the men became. They laughed manically, torturing the woman in various cruel ways. .

The leading man among this group called himself “Knife Brother.” There were two disheveled women beside Knife Brother, their necks adorned with dog collars, chained to Knife Brother’s chair like dogs. Knife Brother directed the filming phone towards himself.

He revealed a cruel smile to the camera and pointed at the woman, saying, “This is the consequence of not listening to me.” After saying that, he commanded his “brothers” to throw the woman from the upper floor. The woman pleaded in vain, but a group of people hoisted her up like a pig.

They opened the window and directly threw her from the high-rise building. Judging from the video, it was at least seven or eight stories high. The woman let out a heart-wrenching scream, followed by a loud crash from below, abruptly ending her screams. In the room, Knife Brother cheered, and others joined in the cheering, looking completely like a group of lunatics.

The zombies downstairs seemed to have smelled the scent of blood and quickly swarmed in, submerging the woman’s body. Angus watched the video with a pounding heart. “Damn, how can such a bloody video be uploaded so openly?” Perhaps it was because there were no longer people responsible for managing and maintaining the websites after the disaster. Such violent and bloody videos were openly displayed on the website’s homepage.

“Wait a minute, the background in this video looks so familiar.”

At the end of the video, Knife Brother spoke to the camera, saying, “I am Knife Brother, an esper. I welcome ambitious brothers to join my team and conquer the world together. We have cigarettes, alcohol, and women here. Looking forward to the brothers’ joining.” Finally, Knife Brother left his address below the video.
