Chapter 255 With David Around, We're Not Afraid Of Anything
"What? Kill all the zombies in this city?" Duane couldn't help but shout out loudly. The others stood still, staring at David in bewilderment, not understanding why he said such words. Even Fatso, raised his head in confusion, looking at David strangely, as if he was looking at a monster.
But David remained unfazed, calmly nodding his head. On the way back from the wasteland world, he had thought about this. He was destined to leave the apocalypse and go to the wasteland world. The members of Team Embers would stay here, as they couldn't even cross the wooden door, let alone enter the wasteland world. So David had to clear all obstacles in the apocalypse for them as soon as possible.
With this, only Team Embers and a few others would remain in the apocalypse. Then, according to their abilities, they would restore the city to its former prosperity. That was David's ultimate goal. To him, it was better to transform the city into his own backyard rather than letting it lie abandoned. Each member of Team Embers was a part of David's backyard.
At this moment, everyone fell silent, finding David's decision too extreme. Although they had already killed many of the zombies in the city, a significant number of them still roamed around, especially after Danny summoned more with the second red light.
Even though they had hunted down many, there were still a large number of zombies wandering the city. Everyone believed it would be impossible to kill them all. However, David's next words left them once again in disbelief.
"We must kill all these zombies within one day tomorrow. Now is not the time to waste." David said, picking up a glass of water from the table and finishing it in one gulp, then glancing at everyone. As expected, their expressions were all like they were looking at a madman. There were at least a few hundred high-level zombies roaming the city. Even if they all worked tirelessly, it would take at least a week. How could one day be enough? It was simply a joke!
They didn't understand what David was thinking, why he had become so strange after coming back from the wasteland world. David said this because the new task assigned by the system only gave him three days. So he had to cherish every minute and second. He had the confidence to say such things because of his strength. He was already at level eleven.
David was just a step away from the legendary level of "esper," which seemed almost within reach. So even if there were more than a few hundred zombies, David had the confidence to kill them all in a day. He had invited the people present not just to participate in this slaughter, but to increase their levels and strength through it. This way, even if there were future dangers in the apocalypse, they could protect their backyard on their own.
"No problem! I think the captain's plan is spot on! They're just a bunch of animals. I can take them down one by one!" Fatso spoke up while the others remained silent. He looked at Shirley as he spoke, his expression brimming with confidence. Upon hearing Fatso's words, everyone's gaze turned to him.
"Fatso, don't try to show off here. David has the capability, but where do you get the confidence? Moreover, those are all high-level zombies. Even dealing with them would require a lot of our energy," Sophie stepped in to address Fatso.
She had no problem with David saying this, as she believed in her captain's abilities. But hearing the same thing from Fatso made it sound different.
Fatso continued to play with the gene fruit in his hand, laughing and not taking Sophie's words to heart. He had already caught the underlying meaning of David's words.
The moment David returned, he sensed that his level of strength had almost reached its peak, which made him instantly understand that David's strength had surpassed their understanding.
In this situation, Fatso naturally believed that David had the capability to kill all the zombies within one day. Charles, at this moment, also caught on. He looked up at David, his gaze showing a hint of determination.
"We can do it." Charles paused. Suddenly, he spoke up, his expression full of confidence. In an instant, everyone's spirits were lifted by Charles's words.
"David's amazing! What are we afraid of? Forget about the high-level zombies in this city; even if it's ten cities, it wouldn't be enough for our Team Embers to handle!" Arnold exclaimed excitedly, clenching his fist, and the others nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, David smiled faintly, then turned his gaze towards Duane. Duane had already been impressed by the strong unity of Team Embers, so he nodded in agreement. At this point, Monica looked at David, appearing hesitant to speak.
David had long noticed everything about her. He had always considered Monica as a business partner. But now, her team had been wiped out, and she was left alone, becoming a wanderer in the apocalypse. David only saw her as a survivor who managed to make it through.
Sally also noticed Monica's unease and after thinking for a moment, she stepped forward and said to David, "Anyway, Monica is our friend. Now that Abraham is gone, she has nowhere to go. Why don't we let her join our team? This way, the two of us and Sophie will have some company." Sally looked at Monica and smiled.
These two days of interaction had allowed Sally to see the fragile and pitiable side of Monica. So, she decided to have David let Monica stay.
Listening to Sally's words, Monica lifted her head gratefully, tears welling up in her eyes. Sally's words made her feel a warmth she hadn't experienced in a long time. She wanted to stay with Team Embers, to become one of them. However, thinking about what Danny had done, she couldn't bring herself to say it. Now that Sally was expressing these thoughts, it was as if she was voicing Monica's inner desires.
"Yeah, Monica is kind-hearted! Captain, why not let her stay?" Sophie also spoke up for Monica. Seeing that two teammates were advocating for Monica to stay, David naturally didn't object. After all, the number of members in his team was still a bit lower than he hoped, so having Monica join might be a good addition.
So, David nodded and agreed to let Monica join Team Embers.
