Chapter 73 To Have The Spoils Taken
When Arnold's werewolf form completely receded, he looked at David with excitement and said, "David, I did it!" David looked at him and coughed lightly.
Sophie, who was nearby, looked at Arnold, and her expression turned slightly concerned. Arnold touched his head and glanced down, immediately blushing. When he had just transformed into his werewolf form, all the clothes he was wearing had already been completely torn!
Now he stood in front of David and Sophie completely naked. "I... I'll go put on some clothes!" Arnold said and quickly ran off.
This version of Arnold was unlike the previous one. In the previous life, Arnold had just awakened his werewolf abilities when he was destroyed by the horde of corpses. The current Arnold was more than capable in terms of physical strength and crystal supply.
After Arnold changed into new clothes and came out, David planned to take him out to gain some experience and test his werewolf abilities. He immediately discussed this plan with Arnold, who readily agreed. After arranging Sophie to share a room with Sally, David prepared to take Arnold out.
"David," just as they closed the door, Lily's voice came from behind. David and Arnold turned around to see Lily supporting Brian as they walked slowly towards them. Brian's injuries had mostly healed during this time, and he had no problems walking normally. Over this period, the two of them had interacted with David's group and realized that David didn't intend to treat them as "slaves." Their impression of David had improved significantly. After all, they were benefiting without having to exert much effort, which still bothered them a little.
Lily gently pinched Brian's arm, and he stepped forward, saying to David, "David, are you going out? Take us with you." Brian still had some injuries, but it was time for Lily's healing magic to be used in practical combat situations. Healing magic was like having a mage in the team.
"Let's go," David said, leaving a brief remark before turning and leaving. The two brightened up and quickly followed.
Arnold walked alongside David and approached him, whispering, "David, that young man still has injuries. Are you sure about bringing him along?" As he spoke, Arnold flexed his muscles, showing off his strength. "David, with these muscles of mine, I can easily take on ten zombies at once."
Watching Arnold's actions, David smiled faintly. "They will eventually have to cooperate with us. Taking them along is helping them." While the current zombies were only at the primary stage, it would be beneficial to take them out for some experience. It was likely that when the zombie outbreak reached its peak, they would be able to hold their ground.
Arnold nodded in agreement, finding David's words reasonable. In this apocalyptic world, only by becoming strong themselves would they have a chance to survive.
David was helping them. With the group in tow, David didn't need to drive. They made their way from the apartment to the central square. Arnold had already transformed into his werewolf form, and he looked at the corpses of the surrounding zombies with an excited expression. "This is amazing!" Previously, he had to hack at zombies one by one, but now that he had become a werewolf, a single swipe was enough to make a zombie's head explode. Arnold shouted and rushed towards the new wave of approaching zombies.
David stood in place, holding a dozen spatial blades in his hand, and shot them into the horde of zombies. Within moments, dozens of zombies were impaled by David's spatial blades, hanging on the wall like skewered kebabs. He threw another spatial blade straight towards a zombie's forehead! When the spatial blade touched the crystal, the crystal fell off the zombie's forehead with a resounding sound.
Brian still had injuries, but David lent him an alloy combat knife. As long as he avoided any sudden movements that would aggravate his joint injury, his wounds wouldn't relapse. Brian swiftly dispatched a dozen zombies with the alloy combat knife.
"Ah!" Lily stood in place, and suddenly a zombie rushed towards her from behind. She screamed in fear. In the next second, Brian flashed in front of her and thrust the alloy combat knife without hesitation. Taking advantage of the few seconds when the zombie lost mobility, he quickly retrieved the crystal from its forehead.
"It's alright," Brian gently reassured Lily.
Not far away, Arnold finished off the zombies in front of him and couldn't help but mutter. He walked up to David and complained, "This couple really makes others envious."
David, picking up crystals from the ground, replied, "If you say that, I might have to tell Sophie." Upon hearing this, Arnold quickly shut his mouth and hummed a tune to himself. Just as the group was about to finish up, Arnold suddenly shouted.
"Hey!" The "old man" running over from the side heard Arnold's voice and without thinking, directly picked up the crystals from the ground and consumed them!
"Not enough, one isn't enough!" The old man murmured while picking up two more crystals from the side. After consuming the two crystals, he finally showed a satisfied expression. Within moments, the old man's body began to transform into that of a young man.
Arnold looked dumbfounded at this scene. David, on the other hand, wasn't concerned about the transformation but rather the fact that this person had eaten the crystals they had worked hard to obtain, and three of them at that. Just as the man had transformed into a young person, a zombie rushed out from a nearby alley at an incredible speed.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you now!" The man looked excited as the zombie charged towards him. Immediately, he picked up two crystals from the ground and stuffed them into his mouth. In the next second, his figure grew as tall as the zombie!
Boom! The man collided head-on with the zombie. He fiercely thrust his elbow into the zombie's abdomen, causing the decaying flesh to burst open, leaving a large hole!
"Roar!" The zombie let out a roar, opening its blood-filled mouth, ready to bite the man. Just as the zombie was about to bite him, the man moved, not only avoiding the zombie's mouth but also dislocating its jaw with a backward strike!
"That won't do." The man laughed.
Immediately, he swung his fist, punching through the zombie's body, creating a large hole. As his hand was about to grab the zombie's forehead, the zombie suddenly disappeared from its original position. When it reappeared, it was already behind the man!
