Chapter 99 Make An Exorbitant Request
?
There are still many weapons in the space. David's team is small and naturally doesn't need so many weapons. It's better to sell them and make a more comfortable living. Otherwise, these weapons will just gather dust in David's space.
After Monica walked away, David didn't stay downstairs for long. The red light had just disappeared, and there were probably many awakened and upgraded zombies by now. If he stayed downstairs, more mutated zombies would come looking for him as a tasty meal.
Thud, thud. David returned to the front of his room and knocked on the door. "It's me," he said calmly. David turned around and glanced at the state of the room behind him. The door had already been smashed by the zombie, and the threshold was in shambles.
Taking advantage of no one coming to open the door, David walked into the room. It was also a mess inside, with furniture and ceilings destroyed. Inside the house, there was the food David had brought for Arnold's family. Just as he entered, Sally happened to open the door.
"David?" Sally looked at David's back and cautiously stuck her head out, looking around hesitantly before finally stepping out. She followed David's back and entered the house. As soon as she entered, she was stunned by the mess in front of her for a few seconds.
After David entered the house, he walked straight into the room with a clear goal in mind. When he saw the intact food, he used his telekinesis to collect all the food into his space. The room was beyond salvage, but at least the items were still there. It was not a total loss, but it was a pity that his home was ruined.
Thinking about it, David sighed and turned around, only to meet Sally's gaze. Thump! David's body shook, and he placed his hand over his heart. "When did you come over?" Sally looked at David's reaction and chuckled, covering her mouth.
David never expected to be startled by her. Sally looked at David's reaction with delight, finding it even amusing. And David, seeing her like this, helplessly said, "Stop laughing. We can't stay here. Let's go back first."
As he spoke, he walked forward, took Sally's hand, and walked outside. As they walked out, they noticed the door was left open. David turned his head and glanced at Sally. Sally's gaze looked somewhat flustered, and she quickly lowered her head. After entering the house, David closed the door behind them.
"David, are you alright?" Arnold saw David and quickly walked up, his face filled with concern. David shook his head. "I'm fine."
Hearing David's words, Arnold looked him up and down, and just as David said, there were no injuries on his body. Arnold heaved a sigh of relief. "I told you, David couldn't possibly have any problems."
Arnold smiled and looked at Sophie, but before Sophie could speak, Duke, who was leaning against the wall with crossed arms, spoke first. "Arnold, you weren't like this just now. You were really worried about David's condition and said you wanted to go out and help."
As he finished speaking, Arnold's ears turned rare red, reproaching him, "You, how could you bring up my business?"
Duke tugged at the corner of his mouth, shrugged, and casually glanced at David before turning his head away. David, observing the two of them, smiled and said, "Stop messing around, we might need to find a new base soon." The recent events have been overwhelming, and this building is already on the verge of collapse. No matter how sturdy the building is, it may not withstand the relentless attacks of the zombies.
"A new base?" Arnold questioned with a puzzled voice. David looked at him and nodded.
Immediately after, Duke supported his head with both hands and said, "In this situation, how are you going to find a intact house? Both the buildings and houses have been destroyed by the zombies."
David wanted to lead everyone to find a new base, but it's not that easy. Moreover, the zombie outbreak is imminent. If they don't find a new base before that, they might not be able to withstand the upcoming outbreak.
David pondered for a moment, his gaze becoming solemn. "I will figure it out, so don't worry."
Duke glanced at David without saying anything and silently looked out the window.
"you're back," a man turned his head and saw Monica, who had just entered the room, and said softly.
Monica made a sound of acknowledgment and asked, "Where's Abraham? I need to talk to him."
Monica looked at the empty rocking chair with confusion"Abraham never leaves the room, so why is he not here when he returned today?
Before the man could answer, Danny spoke first. "Abraham? As soon as the red light outside disappeared, he went out, probably went back for a while."
"Went back?" Monica was slightly shocked.
Abraham has been with them for a long time and has never left their side. Now that Abraham is gone, it indicates that something serious has happened. But without Abraham, there's no way to discuss the matter concerning David.
Monica furrowed her brows. The man glanced at her and asked, "What happened?"
Monica turned her head and met the man's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to speak up. "That guy earlier, he has weapons."
"Weapons?" Danny exclaimed, standing up in disbelief. He looked at Monica with an incredulous expression. "He really has weapons?"
Monica gave him a disdainful look and continued speaking to the man. "He mentioned that he's willing to sell them to us, but the price..." Monica hesitated for a moment. Because the price David quoted was simply outrageous.
The man said, "But go ahead and tell me."
Monica nodded and replied, "He says he needs 10,000 primary crystals from us in exchange for a box of weapons."
Upon hearing this, Danny sprayed the water he was drinking out of his mouth. "Ten thousand?!" The man turned his head and stared at him sharply.
Danny swallowed his saliva and closed his mouth. The man remained calm and asked, "Is there room for negotiation?"
Ten thousand is definitely not a small number. It's almost unrealistic for them to gather ten thousand primary crystals so quickly. David is being extremely demanding. The man's gaze shifted, adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"I haven't asked yet," Monica spoke up.
The man nodded and said, "I understand. Abraham doesn't know about this yet, but I think I can talk to him and see if we can get a lower amount."
"Why is the red light appearing again?" Danny stood by the window and suddenly exclaimed.
