[DING! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a Beast Pill!]

”Beast Pill!” David raised an eyebrow upon hearing the system’s voice, showing a hint of excitement. He hadn’t expected to obtain a Beast Pill from the remains of the mutated python, so it was an unexpected gain. A pale green Beast Pill appeared in his consciousness.

With a thought, David stored the Beast Pill in the warehouse system.

[DING! Congratulations, Host, for triggering a hundred-fold critical strike!]

[DING! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a hundred Beast Pills!]

As David looked at the hundred pale green Beast Pills in the warehouse, he silently nodded. Although they were of no use to him, they were a treasure trove for Cola and Little Black to enhance their levels and strength.

However, David didn’t plan to feed the Beast Pills to them right away. The most important thing at the moment was to reach D Town before nightfall. Otherwise, the road to D Town would become even more dangerous in the dark.

Thus, David called out to everyone to eat some genetic fruits on the spot. Once their physical and mental energies were restored to a satisfactory level, they got back into the vehicles and continued driving towards D Town.

Finally, after over half an hour, the Ember Squad arrived at D Town. As they drove into the small town, an extremely chilling aura greeted them. Even though they were sitting in their vehicles, they could still sense the thick atmosphere of gloom.

”Such overwhelming Yin energy. There must be many zombies here,” Sally said with a serious expression as she looked at the visible Yin energy.

David continued to survey the surroundings. Before coming, he had researched some information about D Town. Compared to other towns, it was considerably larger, with a permanent population of over ten thousand. This led to a vast area with numerous houses, providing good hiding places.

At that moment, Charles, who was in the rear supply vehicle, suddenly honked the horn twice. Before David could inquire about it, he heard a commotion around them. He quickly turned his head and saw that, at some point, more than a dozen zombies had appeared amidst the Yin energy. These zombies, as if they hadn’t encountered humans for a long time, rushed towards them in a race.

Seeing this, Sally immediately held onto David’s arm tightly. ”Why are there suddenly so many zombies?”

David chuckled lightly and then decisively stepped on the vehicle’s accelerator. The massive engine roared to life! The off-road vehicle emitted a plume of black smoke as it charged into the horde of zombies. To David, these zombies were mere ants; there was no need for him to get out of the vehicle to hunt them. The modified post-apocalyptic vehicle alone was enough to crush them under its wheels.

Witnessing David’s actions, Arnold and Charles followed suit, driving their vehicles into the horde of zombies. Soon, a chorus of agonized screams echoed from outside the vehicle windows. Amidst these screams, there was a trace of maniacal laughter.

”The more joyfully they laugh, the more tragic their deaths are.” David smiled faintly and turned the steering wheel once again.

Within three minutes, the dozen or so zombies that had suddenly appeared were completely flattened into mush by the three vehicles. Only then did David open the car door and slowly step out of the war vehicle. The stench emitted by the zombie corpses on the ground was nauseating.

David furrowed his brow and paid no further attention to those zombies. He parked the vehicles in an open area with Arnold and Charles, and the six of them started making their way deeper into D Town.

”There might be zombies appearing in the town at any time. Stay alert, everyone,” David reminded them, recalling Charles’ earlier prediction. Each team member nodded in agreement, cautiously surveying their surroundings.

Roars of zombies echoed in the distance, catching their attention. They looked up and saw dozens of zombies emerging from the darkness, their greedy expressions evident upon seeing the group.

David remained composed, his expression unchanged. Before he could give any orders, Arnold and Duke charged ahead without hesitation. Sally and Charles protected Sophie, forming a defensive line around her.

Observing his teammates’ actions, David decided to once again watch the show. Fortunately, these were just dozens of low-level zombies, posing no significant threat to the team members. In just a short time, they eradicated the entire group.

The voice of the system continued to sound in David’s ears.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a primary crystal!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a hundredfold critical strike, obtaining a hundred primary crystals!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one...]

Just after arriving in D Town, David effortlessly obtained over a thousand primary crystals. Although primary crystals had limited use for David, he still wore a satisfied smile on his face. In the post-apocalyptic world, no one could afford to overlook any resources. Even seemingly insignificant items could determine life and death.

With no zombies in sight, David led the team members to continue their journey towards the center of the town. Cola and Little Black followed closely by David’s side, projecting a mighty and protective aura.

Soon, they reached the central square of D Town, surrounded by various abandoned shops that had turned into ruins. After spotting David, the rats in the ruins squeaked incessantly. However, what surprised everyone was the absence of the chilling aura they had encountered when entering the town.

Logically, there should be a larger concentration of zombies in this area, and the absence of the ominous aura seemed unusual. Could Charles have miscalculated? David entertained this thought briefly but quickly dismissed it. He had great faith in Charles’ abilities. Curiosity piqued, David instructed the team to disperse and search in different directions.

”Damn it! I thought D Town would be my chance for a comeback, to grow and prosper. Who would’ve thought there’s nothing here except zombies and mutant rats!” A chubby man in the northeastern direction of the town, shaking the blood off his large cleaver, expressed his disappointment. It was the same man who had stolen the gene fruits from David’s greenhouse earlier. At his feet lay the lifeless body of a zombie, clearly dispatched by his cleaver.
