Chapter 117 Building An Apocalypse Vehicle
Invisible to others, David made a decisive move. After a moment of contemplation, he realized that upgrading the Base would require more crystals of different levels. Therefore, he decided to take his team out hunting today. It would be a good opportunity to assess the strength and cooperation of the team members.
Now that all the members of the team had awakened their abilities and become supernaturals, David felt it was time to hone their skills through real combat. After sharing his thoughts with the others, they all nodded in agreement.
Especially Arnold, since becoming a second-level supernatural, he hadn’t fully showcased his werewolf power. So when he heard David’s suggestion, he was eager and ready to give it a try.
Sophie and Sally also looked excited. Only Duke seemed burdened, with a trace of anxiety on his face. David immediately understood his concerns and walked up to him, patting his shoulder reassuringly, saying, “During the battle, you can control the enemy’s shadows from a distance. Stay behind us, and we’ll protect you. We are a team, and we won’t let anything happen to you.”
David knew that Duke was still recovering from overdosing on low-level crystals, so he was probably worried that his condition would hinder the team during real combat. That’s why he spoke those comforting words. Hearing David’s reassurance, Duke lifted his head excitedly, looked at him gratefully, and nodded heavily.
After awakening his supernatural abilities, Duke’s confidence had swelled, believing that he could defeat any zombie with his powers. But when he witnessed David saving him yesterday, he abandoned that idea because he knew his strength was insignificant compared to David’s.
Seeing everyone’s eager expressions, David began to prepare the team to go out and find zombies. Just as they were about to leave the underground parking lot, David looked at the cars and had a sudden idea. If they traveled on foot to search for zombies, it would undoubtedly consume a lot of time and limit their mobility. This would greatly reduce their efficiency and increase the risk of not being able to escape danger in time.
So David decided that they would all drive to search for zombies. This would not only increase their operational efficiency but also allow them to evade higher-level zombies when encountered. However, before that, David decided to give these cars a major overhaul. 𝚍n𝚘v𝚕.𝚘𝚛𝚐
In his past life, David had seen ordinary people, without awakened abilities, fearlessly driving their modified cars into hordes of zombies, surpassing some esper in bravery.
Therefore, David stopped everyone and focused on a modified version of an off-road vehicle. He then secretly retrieved some steel plates, bayonets, long spears, and other weapon devices from the warehouse. In front of everyone, he carried out a series of modifications on the modified off-road vehicle.
As they watched David busily work, everyone became curious about what he was up to. After half an hour, David wiped the sweat off his face and looked satisfied with his masterpiece.
Only then did the others understand what David had been busy with earlier, and they looked at the enhanced version of the off-road vehicle in astonishment. Mounted on the front of the vehicle were several steel spears over a meter long, exuding tremendous killing power. Dozens of short knives were also attached to the wheels and sides of the vehicle, and even an alloy steel plate was added to the roof. Overall, the off-road vehicle appeared extremely domineering, giving off a hint of a doomsday war machine.
“Oh my god! This isn’t just an off-road vehicle, it’s a zombie killer!” Arnold exclaimed as he looked at the war vehicle, unable to resist touching it. The other three also stared in shock at the menacing beast before them. They believed that if this thing charged into a horde of zombies, it would wreak havoc.
Soon, the four of them got into the apocalyptic war vehicle. Just as they were about to set off, little black, wagging its tail, ran out from the Base.
Upon seeing Blackie, David immediately scooped him up and brought him into the car. He believed that this real combat experience would greatly enhance little black’s strength.
Perhaps it would even allow him to level up again and become a more powerful hellhound. David had expected Cola to come along as well, but after waiting for a while with no sign of it, he shook his head.
“That guy probably snuck off somewhere again.” Without waiting for Cola, David started the war vehicle and sped out of the underground parking lot. The weather was good today, with warm sunlight and a gentle breeze. Looking at the lush trees in the distant mountains, they felt a sense of tranquility. Enjoying the comfortable breeze, they all felt a sense of nostalgia as if transported to a different world.
Since the zombies descended upon this world , they hadn’t experienced the warmth of the sun like they used to. So, when they suddenly felt the warmth of the sun, their hearts were filled with longing.
“I wish this world could return to how it was before. That would be so nice!” Sally said absentmindedly as she leaned against the car window.
“Until the zombies are eradicated, we may never return to the happiness we had before,” Arnold bluntly revealed the harsh reality to Sally, which left her feeling a bit disheartened.
“Damn zombies! They destroyed our homeland and killed our families! I’ll make sure to kill a few more!” Sally clenched her fists tightly, speaking with intense hatred. The others also wore expressions of anger, wishing they could encounter the despicable zombies right now and vent their frustrations.
Under David’s driving, the war vehicle swiftly traversed every street of the city. The broken buildings lining the streets made the world appear even more desolate.
Everyone knew that this place was once prosperous, with tall buildings, beautiful scenery, and bustling crowds. People lived in a lively and extravagant world, happiness radiating from their faces. But now, they had long departed from this world.
During the drive, scattered zombies would occasionally appear on the road. Upon seeing them, David decisively steered towards them and charged. In an instant, these zombies were mercilessly slaughtered by the long spears and short knives on the war vehicle. This exhilarated everyone, and dozens of low-level crystals instantly found their way into David’s pocket. With that, David led the team to continue their journey.
Suddenly, an incredibly piercing roar erupted from a building.
