Chapter 289 Cozy
"What!? Second Brother is dead?"? Upon hearing Dark Leopard's words, Dark Dragon stood still, his eyes widened in disbelief.? He couldn't fathom this news and asked again, "What exactly happened?"
Dark Leopard took a breath, suppressing his weakened state, and explained, "I went with Second Brother to avenge ourselves against that guy.? He used some kind of supernatural ice technique, freezing the air around us.? Second Brother couldn't escape and got trapped in the ice.? The guy then squeezed him to death using the ice!"
As Dark Leopard spoke, he recalled the gruesome sight of Dark Tiger's fate.? Especially when he thought of David's aura of death, he couldn't help but shudder.? He swore that besides the Zerg, he hadn't encountered such a formidable opponent in the wasteland.
Dark Dragon's expression darkened at Dark Leopard's words.? He had thought that with Dark Leopard and Dark Tiger working together, they could at least teach David a lesson, if not defeat him.? However, things had turned out differently.? Not only had they failed to harm David, but Dark Tiger had lost his life because of it.
"Cursed be it!"? Dark Dragon gritted his teeth and slapped the stone table in front of him into pieces.
As one of the three major forces in the wasteland, he was the lord of Dark City.? How could he allow an outsider to trample over them?? He had originally planned to set out tomorrow morning, leading a horde of zombies to meet up with Dark Leopard and Dark Tiger.? However, this event changed his plans immediately.? He decided to mobilize the zombie horde now.? Revenge for his brothers was a must!
"Younger brother, rest in the city for a while.? I'm setting off now, and I will avenge your Second Brother.? I'll make sure to place that guy's head in front of Second Brother's memorial!"? Dark Dragon said with malevolence.? He then began to prepare to don his armor and leave the city.
Seeing this, Dark Leopard hurriedly said, "Big brother, that guy is truly formidable.? His strength is likely in the top ten of the wasteland."
"Hmph!? So what?? Today, I will definitely kill him!"? Consumed by anger, Dark Dragon's judgment was clouded.? Furthermore, being an eleventh-level esper with wind abilities, he believed he could handle David's strength, no matter how powerful it was.
If Dark Dragon were aware that David was already a twelfth-level esper, encompassing three elemental abilities, he would surely reconsider his words.? After a moment of contemplation, Dark Leopard believed that his elder brother's power level was also incredible.? Coupled with the zombie horde, he thought that maybe they could defeat David.
So, Dark Leopard nodded and said to Dark Dragon, "Big brother, I'm coming too!? I want to witness you personally cut off that guy's head!"
With that, Dark Leopard had one of his subordinates bring a bottle of bone-rejuvenating and blood-restoring liquid from the pharmacy and drank it.? As the liquid entered his stomach, the wounds inflicted by Mandy's trident started to slowly heal, and his complexion improved.? Only then did he follow Dark Dragon to the city gates.
At this point, the city gates were already filled with hundreds of high-level zombies.? These zombies were captured by the three brothers in the wasteland and then subjected to special training to become part of their zombie horde.
These high-level zombies not only understood their commands but also fought tirelessly until death in battle.? This was the secret weapon of the three brothers.? As long as these high-level zombies were present, they believed that killing David and even defeating the Kui tribe was a natural outcome.
"Squeak!"? The massive gates of Dark City slowly swung open, pushed by two mutated rhinoceroses.? Dark Dragon rode a Hurricane Battle Lion, while Dark Leopard rode a Nine Shadow Abyssal Python.? The two brothers led the horde of zombies and headed towards the valley where David was located.
After killing Dark Tiger, it was still early in the day, so David entered his base.? The base's level was sufficient for his needs, and survival in this wasteland relied on his own strength.? Thus, he considered the base merely a place to rest.
Even so, David decided to enhance the base by adding some facilities.? He wasn't sure how long he would be living here, so improving the living conditions seemed necessary.
Surveying the interior of the base, David used thirty pieces of wood from the warehouse to craft a sofa and furniture set.? He then repainted the walls using the system, adding two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, a tea room, and a study.? He even built a weapon modification room in the remaining area.
With these changes completed, David looked at the transformed base and felt a surge of contentment.? At that moment, he felt a long-lost warmth.
Mandy stood beside David, wearing a surprised expression.? She sat down on the plush sofa and walked into the spacious bedroom, her face expressing human-like joy.
"From now on, this will be your bedroom," David pointed to a slightly smaller room and said to Mandy.
Mandy nodded and entered the bedroom, looking around with excitement.? Seeing her curiosity, David smiled lightly.? Meanwhile, noises from outside the base reached them.? Stepping outside, David discovered that Viola had somehow arrived.
"Is there something you need?"? David asked. His interest in the Kui Queen, Viola, was growing.? She gazed at the golden base with envy despite its current state.
"Um...? I cooked some meat and wanted to share it with you and Mandy," Viola brought out a piece of cooked, tender meat and explained her intention.
Since David had rejected the Kui tribe's meat last time, Viola figured he might not like it semi-raw.? So, after David left, she cooked a fresh piece of deer meat and brought it over as a gesture of goodwill.
Knowing that she had consumed quite a bit of their "Dongpo Pork," Viola felt it necessary to make an effort.? Seeing the steaming deer meat, David nodded.? He understood Viola's kind intentions and smiled, inviting her inside.
As Viola entered the base, she was stunned by what she saw.? The clean and tidy walls, the soft sofa, and even the beautiful flowers in vases.? A sense of warmth that she had never experienced before washed over her.? Looking at everything before her, her eyes sparkled with delight.? She hadn't expected David's base to be so luxurious and comforting.? It felt like she was being entranced.
"Would you like a cup of coffee?"? David brought a cup of freshly brewed coffee over to Viola.
Looking at the dark liquid before her, Viola seemed puzzled.? "What is coffee?? Can I drink it?"
