Chapter 207 New Goal

.As the Ferocious Spirit Gold Beetle let out a pitiful cry, its massive body crashed heavily onto the ground, stirring up clouds of dust. The mother body convulsed for a moment and then ceased to breathe.
David walked out of the woods and approached the corpse of the Ferocious Spirit Gold Beetle. He looked up at Fatso and said, "You can take its blood bones now."
Fatso pondered for a moment and nodded. Blood bones were the third rib of zombies and mutated beasts. They were of no use to espers but could enhance the physical strength of Dawn Collectors. That's why David had killed so many zombies but had never taken a single blood bone.
Fatso pulled out his knife again and expertly stabbed at the position of the blood bones in the Ferocious Spirit Gold Beetle's corpse. In no time, he retrieved the blood bones stained with green blood. However, he didn't consume them in front of David; instead, he stored them in his nearby backpack.
At that moment, the system's voice sounded in David's ear.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the Ferocious Spirit Gold Beetle and obtaining one Defense Attribute Crystal!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering a hundredfold critical hit and obtaining one hundred Defense Attribute Crystals!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the martial technique "Cracked Void Fist"!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for leveling up the esper to level nine!]
Hearing the system's voice, David couldn't help but be taken aback. Obtaining the Defense Attribute Crystals and leveling up were within his expectations. After all, the carapace defense of the Ferocious Spirit Gold Beetle was an extremely formidable defense method. With the accumulation of recent kills, he had been stuck at level eight for some time, so reaching level nine was a natural progression. However, the "Cracked Void Fist" surprised him.
[Ding! "Cracked Void Fist" is the host's leveling reward!]
[This fist can tear through the void, creating shockwaves from the fist's impact in the void, thus enhancing the host's combat power!]
[As the host's battle intent surges, the power of the Cracked Void Fist will gradually increase!]
The system quickly explained David's doubts, and he nodded to himself. Being the recipient of the spatial ability, the Cracked Void Fist was extremely suitable for him. Sensing the surging power on his fist, David squeezed it slightly, and turbulence appeared in the void around his fist, tearing it apart and forming a visible forceful fist wind.
Fatso beside him also noticed the change in David and couldn't help but be amazed. He hadn't expected this young man in front of him to be so terrifyingly powerful, able to tear through the void. His eyes filled with admiration as he said to David, "The Ferocious Spirit Gold Beetle has been dealt with. Let's part ways for now, and perhaps our paths will cross again someday."
Having said that, Fatso saluted David and prepared to leave. His objective in D Town was already accomplished, and he needed to hurry to the next location.
Seeing Fatso about to leave, David immediately spoke up, "Where's the next location? We'll go with you."
How could David not see through Fatso's thoughts? Acting so nervously, he must be heading to another place with zombies or mutated beasts. How could he miss such a good opportunity? Moreover, David had not completely understood Fatso yet and wouldn't let him leave so easily.
Hearing David's words, Fatso stopped in his tracks and scratched his head, smiling, "I'm going back home. What's with the next location? Brother, you're just being overly suspicious."
After saying that, Fatso pretended to look relaxed. The reason he didn't want to let David know his next destination was that he didn't want to reveal too many secrets to him.
As a Dawn scavenger in the apocalypse, Fatso knew the first principle was to hide his identity and strength. If it weren't for the special circumstances today, he would never have revealed his true identity. In his view, David was very powerful, and joining their team might be a good choice. However, Fatso, who had been used to wandering alone, had no idea how to ask. After some thought, he felt it was better to find another opportunity to talk about it later. The most important thing now was to head to the next location.
David wouldn't believe Fatso's words. He lightly clenched his fist, gazing at the fractured void on it, and then smiled as he looked at Fatso again.
Now, Fatso's expression immediately turned mournful. His strength was nothing in front of David, and even if he wanted to resist, he had to weigh his capabilities. He never imagined that today, from beginning to end, he would be under the control of this young man.
Fatso sighed, looking resentfully at David and said, "The Northern Youth Apartment Complex. There's an advanced zombie that appeared with a second red light. Because of its appearance, all the survivors nearby were killed, and even some espers who tried to hunt it down lost their lives. The town it's in has no living soul left. Its strength... is formidable." Fatso disclosed his destination and target.
"T Town?" David paused. It wasn't the first time he had encountered such a high-level zombie, but he had never seen one capable of killing all survivors and espers in a town. This immediately piqued his interest. Killing an ordinary high-level zombie would yield considerable rewards from the system. If he managed to kill such a ferocious high-level zombie, the rewards would undoubtedly be even greater. Moreover, having just reached level nine, this was the perfect opportunity to test his strength at this new level.
Afterward, David led Fatso out of D Town and arrived at the side of the combat vehicles. Seeing the three extremely cool-looking war vehicles, Fatso's eyes widened with amazement. He couldn't help but circle around the three vehicles, filled with envy.
"Wow! This is so cool! Crushing Wheels, Giant Teeth Steel Blade, and Bulletproof Glass..." Fatso couldn't help but touch every part of the war vehicles with excitement.
Watching Fatso's awe-struck expression, David smiled faintly. He then took out several cleaned gene fruits from the supply car and distributed them to the team members. They were going to face formidable opponents, and their strength might exceed their expectations. Everyone needed to maintain their energy and vigor. Seeing the team members eating the gene fruits with relish, Fatso couldn't help but swallow some saliva.
David noticed and tossed one to him, saying, "Hurry up and eat. This time, there's no poison in it."
Accepting the gene fruit, a smile appeared on Fatso's face. He knew the effects of gene fruits; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked entering the greenhouse to steal them. Without hesitation, he hugged the fruit and started eating it while looking at the war vehicles. He then asked David, "Can you give a brother one of these big guys?"
