n“Hey, young man?” The old person muttered and slowly turned their head to look at Duke.

n“Just a moment ago, I praised you for having a compassionate heart. Why did you run away?” The old person said, straightening their body. They looked at the indifferent expressions of the people in front of them and knew that they couldn’t continue the charade. Slowly, the hunched posture disappeared, replaced by a tall figure.

nThen, she extended her hand and touched her own face. Rip! The wrinkled face was torn off, revealing a beautiful female face. The woman disdainfully discarded the old person’s skin to the side and looked at Duke. “I was so close to succeeding. How did you figure it out?”

nDuke looked at her, his face still serious. He calmly said, “The hands of the old person aren’t as delicate as yours.” He had assisted too many elderly people and seen enough to know that an old person’s hands would never be as fair and tender as a woman’s.

nThe woman listened and paused. She raised her own hand and looked at it, satisfied as she touched it. “Even so, it doesn’t matter because you all will die here next.” As she spoke, the woman sharply scanned David and the others. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers. After a second, the sounds of zombie roars echoed through the air.

n“This is bad.” David quickly turned around, and the exit behind him slammed shut. Meanwhile, the woman had vanished, but the old person’s skin remained on the ground.

n“I’ll come back for you later and turn your faces into masks!” The woman’s voice resounded from above.

nDavid looked up and his eyes widened. Behind the woman stood a zombie! And that zombie had its arm wrapped around her waist! Clearly, the zombie had carried her up there! Why would a zombie…

n“Hey!” Just as he was thinking, Duke’s reprimanding voice suddenly came in his ear. When David turned his head, a zombie was standing less than a meter away from him. Slowly, the zombie’s head began to slide down. With a thud, the zombie’s head fell heavily to the ground, emitting a dull sound.

nDavid took out his alloy combat knife and calmly retrieved a crystal from the zombie’s forehead.

nYou obtained a primary crystal, critical hit bonus in effect!

nCongratulations, you obtained one hundred primary crystals!

nAttributes: None!

n“Hey.” Duke walked over as David stood up. He ruffled his hair and looked at David, who was slightly opening his lips, and said triumphantly, “I know, no need to thank me. I’m just repaying you for saving my life last time.”

nThe words David wanted to say couldn’t come out as he looked at Duke’s expression. After holding it in for a few seconds, he finally said, “You’re insane.”

nWith that said, David disregarded Duke’s darkened face and looked around. With a glance, he saw nearly forty to fifty primary zombies. But Monica, at this moment, was nowhere to be found. A smirk formed on David’s lips, He still had to thank the woman from earlier for summoning the zombies. She was practically delivering a gift to him!

n“Little black!” David shouted. All forty to fifty primary zombies turned their gaze towards him.

n“Roar!” In an instant, all the zombies’ attention was focused on David! Before the zombies could reach David, Little Black barked and jumped in front of him, opening its mouth wide. A burst of flames spewed out, instantly incinerating dozens of zombies at the front! After the zombies were burned to ashes, only the crystals remained.

nListening to the wonderful sound, David’s gaze gradually became greedy as he looked at the remaining zombies. “Hey, take one more step forward, and you won’t have that pretty face anymore.”

nThe woman sat in a chair with her legs crossed. She had changed her clothes by now. At the moment, she was wearing a light blue dress, and there was a slit along the edge, revealing her long, white legs. Behind the woman, a junior zombie was massaging her shoulders. There was another zombie by her side, serving her tea.

nMonica stood not far away and turned to look at the woman. “You are a mind controller, a second-time awakened with extraordinary abilities. Your awakened ability is control, without limitations on the objects you control. The extent of your control depends on the power of the awakened person.”

nAs the words fell, the woman’s expression gradually turned cold. She clenched the tea cup tightly, and the veins on her hand bulged. “What is your purpose?” she asked warily, looking at Monica.

nMonica replied indifferently, “You are worthless, I have no interest in you.”

nThe woman became angry upon hearing Monica’s words. She forcefully threw the tea cup at Monica, but Monica easily dodged it by leaning slightly.

nSeeing the woman’s face turn red, Monica said, “Trying to show off in front of me? Don’t you have any estimation of your own abilities?” She sneered and turned to leave.

nWith a swish, the woman stood up from the chair. “Attack! Tear her apart!” The surrounding zombies obeyed the woman’s command, swiftly charging towards Monica.

nMonica calmly walked forward, and when the zombies were less than a meter away from her, with a swish, she took out her weapon. Smash! All the zombies behind her fell down!

nMonica leaped lightly, even though she was wearing high-heeled shoes, she landed behind the woman without making a sound.

nThe gun was pressed against the mind controller’s temple. Feeling the cold hardness of the gun, the woman’s alarm bells rang loudly in her mind. Before she could speak, Monica spoke first, “Retract your little tricks, or the consequences won’t be as simple as a threat.”

nThe woman nervously swallowed and glanced at the zombies. The next moment, the zombies lowered their heads and walked towards the dark corners.

n“Are you… satisfied?” the woman asked fearfully.

nMonica retracted the gun and coldly said, “Your arrogant personality will soon teach you a lesson. If you don’t believe me, I’ll give you a chance to stay alive! Don’t forget to thank me properly when the time comes.” With that, Monica turned around and left with a smile.

nThe woman watched Monica’s figure and gritted her teeth. “Bitch!” She clenched her fist tightly, and the veins on her hand bulged. “Just you wait, I’m not someone to be trifled with. I will show you how formidable I am! “With that in mind, the woman, with a slight smile on her lips, turned and walked into the darkness. 𝒷𝓭ℴ𝓋𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

nMeanwhile, on David’s side, he hadn’t finished killing yet when the remaining zombies suddenly turned and fled.

n“Finished collecting.” Duke held dozens of crystals with his clothes and handed them to David.
