Chapter 95 Self-Inflicted Calamity
After the system prompt, a progress bar appeared before David's eyes, showing 50% completion.
"Damn it!" David gritted his teeth and uttered these words. He was in excruciating pain, but instead of complaining about it, the system gave him a progress bar, allowing him to visually see how much longer he had to endure this agony.
David couldn't help but clench his teeth even tighter, tightly gripping his fist as he endured the intense pain.
(Ding! ]
[Final tempering of the host's physical strength and power is in progress, estimated time: three minutes! ]
Upon hearing the system's words, David's face darkened. Just when he thought he couldn't be more tormented by the pain in his body, the system managed to infuriate him. Two minutes later, as the progress bar reached 99%, it was only one percent away from completion. Terrifyingly, the progress bar suddenly stopped moving!
The next moment, David's body made a loud cracking sound. At the same time, the progress bar reached 100%.
(Ding! ]
[Congratulations, you have upgraded your spatial ability to level four and unlocked a new skill! ]
[Level Four Spatial Skill: Telekinesis! ]
[Take anything from space: Spatial ability users can use their minds to manipulate space and take an object they have seen through the gaps in space. However, remember, you can only use it three times a day! ]
Level four spatial ability? Take anything from space? David was momentarily stunned. Soon he realized that at this moment, his spatial ability had reached the same level as the system. In other words, his spatial ability had become much stronger. After understanding this, David looked at the "Take anything from space" on the panel and nodded in satisfaction. Literally, this skill was very convenient for him, especially when it came to retrieving rare crystals.
Suddenly, a sound came from upstairs. David furrowed his brow but didn't pay it any attention. He walked to the window, pulled up a chair, and carefully lifted a corner to see the still vivid red light outside, as if there was no sign of it subsiding.
"Abraham, what is..." The man looked at the situation outside the window and asked in confusion.
Abraham tightly gripped his cane, nervously looking at the red light outside. "Close the curtains. No one is allowed to go out today without my permission."
As soon as he finished speaking, Danny, holding a lollipop, chimed in. "But Monica went out this morning."
"Where did Monica go?" Abraham frowned and asked.
Danny casually replied, "She went with David."
Upon hearing the name David, Abraham's brow slowly relaxed, saying, "If she's with David, then it's fine. You two stay here and don't go out." After speaking, Abraham leaned back on the chair behind him.
The man approached and said, "Abraham, I don't understand. Why is Monica safe when she's with David? "Before he could finish his sentence, Abraham glanced at him lightly and replied, "Because he has the power."
The man fell silent upon hearing Abraham's words. After a few seconds, he nodded and turned back to his room. Danny sat on the sofa, watching the man's retreating figure, and smiled: "Brother is angry again. He always gets angry when it comes to David."
Saying that, Danny tilted his head back and looked at Abraham, who had closed his eyes. "Abraham, is David really stronger than my brother? I think he's just cunning ."
Listening to Danny's words, Abraham didn't say a word. He closed his eyes, sleeping or awake. Danny looked at Abraham in silence for a few seconds. Then he sat up straight and continued eating the lollipop in his hand.
Back in the room, David realized that Brian and Lily hadn't been doing much these past two days, so he went to Arnold's room to inquire about them. When Arnold heard David asking about the two, he thought for a moment and said, "They have been inside the room all these days, Even a meal only needs one serving."
"Yeah, I don't know what they've been up to," Arnold added. He had been curious to find out, but he remembered David's warning and decided to let it go. He knew that if anything went wrong, David would be the one to clean up the mess. The world was already chaotic enough, and he didn't want to add any more trouble for David.
Listening to Arnold's words, David knew that these two guys were still trying to play the sympathy card. So he thought for a moment, smiled, and walked up to their room door. He reached out his hand and knocked on the door, "Knock, knock, knock!"
Upon hearing the knocking, Brian immediately jumped off the couch in the room and quickly tied Lily up in the corner with a rope: "Act pitiful later. This time we must make David fall for it no matter what!"
While binding Lily's hands and feet, Brian instructed her. Lily nodded and a look of misery appeared on her face.
Listening to the faint conversation inside the room, David raised his foot without hesitation and kicked the door. "Bang!" The door was forcefully kicked down by David, and he walked in. Brian, who was standing in front of Lily, turned around upon hearing the sound.
Seeing the scene before him, David smiled knowingly. He didn't expect these two to be so dedicated, always prepared with props for their performance. As soon as Lily saw David entering, she desperately tried to shout for help. However, Brian had gagged her mouth with a cloth, making it impossible for her to speak clearly.
At this moment, Brian stared at David coldly and said, "Our business doesn't concern you!" This was part of Brian's calculated plan to reverse the situation.
"Oh?" David listened to Brian's words and nodded silently. "Concerned? If I were concerned, you wouldn't be alive in this world. Don't forget, you're not even worthy of being my opponent," David glanced at him disdainfully.
At the same time, he looked out the window. The noise from earlier had already attracted a considerable number of zombies.
Brian was clearly infuriated by David's words. He had been unable to succeed in front of David all this time, and his pent-up anger made him loathe David even more. Now, hearing David's words, he couldn't hold back any longer. "I told you, our business is none of your concern!" Brian shouted at David and pointed his finger at him.
This action completely enraged David. He had never liked being pointed at by others, so he shook his head helplessly, swiftly drew his alloy short knife, and rushed towards Brian like a gust of wind.
"You..." Brian looked at David in disbelief, and in the next moment, he collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud. Clearly, David ended his life with just one knife. As Lily watched Brian die in front of her, she trembled uncontrollably. This outcome was completely unexpected for both of them. At that moment, the sounds of the struggle, combined with the scent of Brian's blood, attracted a large number of zombies towards their location.
