nLily sat down on the sofa, her gaze fixed on the kitchen door. Inside the kitchen, Sophie was making noodles when she heard Arnold’s voice behind her. “Let me do it.”

nArnold walked up to Sophie, reaching out to take the kitchen utensils from her. Looking at Arnold’s figure, Sophie asked in confusion, “why did you come in?”

nArnold put the chopped green onions into the pot as he replied to Sophie’s question, “It’s not safe outside.”

nEver since David mentioned it, that girl Lily’s gaze had changed, and just now, it felt like she was flirting with him. If he stayed outside for a few more minutes, who knows what that girl might do. Arnold sighed at the thought. Sophie observed Arnold’s expression and approached him, leaning closer to his ear, she whispered, “Husband, that Lily girl really seems to have some issues. she was so affectionate with her boyfriend, One minute she was worried about finding him, but the next she turned to me and said she wanted to eat my noodles.”

nArnold turned his head, about to say something, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a figure standing outside the door. His heart skipped a beat, and calmly, he gently tugged at Sophie’s sleeve, signaling her to look outside. Sophie looked puzzled, but when she saw the figure outside the door, she was almost scared.

n“Wife, you should continue cooking. Lily wants to eat what you make,” Arnold said, giving Sophie his place.

nSophie nodded and took over the role of the chef.

nMeanwhile, Lily stood outside the kitchen, listening for only a few seconds. She was unaware that someone inside could see her. After not hearing any useful information, she turned and left the kitchen door.

nBoom! David, munching on his sunflower seeds, watched as the zombie caught Brian’s fleeting trace and punched him, sending Brian flying into the nearby wall. The impact created a deep dent in the wall. This guy really doesn’t know how to adapt. David sighed while tossing the sunflower seed shells into the trash bin he had brought out. Danny, who was fighting the zombie, noticed David’s leisurely demeanor and the fact that he had a chair to sit on. Why was David so relaxed? Just as Danny glanced at David, the zombie in front of him quickly charged, and Danny quickly dodged the attack.

n“Damn it!” Frustrated with his torn clothes, Danny furrowed his brow. He looked at the zombie and silently took out a crystal from his pocket, swallowing it directly.

nIn the next moment, when he moved again, his speed was several times faster than an ordinary person’s! David watched Danny’s actions and raised an eyebrow. Not bad, that speed is impressive. Then he saw Danny already behind the zombie’s neck.

nDanny pulled out a knife and held it against the zombie’s neck, his lips moved slightly. The next second, the zombie’s head rolled off and fell to the ground.

nDavid stood up from his chair and watched as Danny was about to extract the crystal from the zombie’s head. He opened a spatial portal and walked in. Immediately, he appeared beside Danny.

nDavid reached out his hand and took the crystal first as Danny was focused on cutting open the zombie’s forehead. Danny’s smile froze when he saw the crystal being taken suddenly. He turned to look at David’s previous position and then spoke to David beside him.

n“I dealt with this zombie, give me back the crystal,” Danny said, extending his hand towards David. However, David silently stored the crystal in his spatial storage. 𝗼𝘃𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴

nYou obtained a mid-level crystal, Critical Hit x100 in effect!

nCongratulations, you obtained 100 mid-level crystals!

nAttribute: Spider Mutation!

nDavid smiled satisfactorily at the Spider Mutation attribute. However, Danny was highly displeased with that smile. Before Danny could finish his sentence, David cut in, “Weren’t you protecting me just now?”

n“Protecting you?” Danny was taken aback. It was true that he had said that before. But what did that have to do with the crystal? David continued, “Since you were protecting me, the crystal should rightfully be handed over to me.” Hearing this, Danny was left dumbfounded. Damn, he fell for it!

nDavid looked at Danny’s darkening expression, smiled, and then took out a low-level crystal, handing it to Danny. “Consider this protection fee.”

nExchanging a mid-level crystal for a low-level one? Danny twitched his lips. Seeing Danny’s disdainful look, David frowned. “Fine, I’ll take it back.” He was about to retrieve the low-level crystal.

nDanny quickly reached out his hand and took the crystal from David. “I never said I didn’t want it.” A low-level crystal was better than nothing. Danny sighed helplessly as he held the low-level crystal in his hand.

n“Hey, food!” Duke walked over with an annoyed expression. He had just lost a jacket, and now, if he couldn’t retrieve his food, how would he survive in this apocalyptic world?

nTo his surprise, David just glanced at him and said, “Food? How much are you gonna pay for it?”

nDuke furrowed his brow and said, “Give me back everything that was in the store just now.”

nHearing this, David rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. “Well, the price might be quite high.”

n“Price?!” Duke was shocked. “It wasn’t yours to begin with. How dare you talk about the price with me?”

nDavid smiled lightly. “Well, it wasn’t yours either, but once it’s in my possession, it naturally becomes mine, right?”

nWith those words, David looked at Duke hesitatingly. He had his hands in his pockets and added, “However, I see that you don’t have any money right now. I can give you a way to have a place to live and food to eat. How about that?”

nA place to live and food to eat. Duke looked at this cunning person in front of him. Could he really offer such good conditions? Duke looked at David with a mixture of belief and doubt and asked, “What are the conditions?”

nDavid looked at Duke and smiled. This was the time when he needed manpower. Lily and Brian were already in an untrustworthy stage, and Brian had come out today to make him believe in him.
