YM778.TV Chapter 93 Upgraded Red Light
David withdrew his gaze and turned his head, only to suddenly see Monica standing behind them at some point. Where had this woman just gone? Why did she appear right after the zombies left? While thinking about this, David\'s hand touched the crystals in Duke\'s arms.
[You have obtained 50 primary crystals. Critical strike chance: 100x.]
[Congratulations, you have obtained 5,000 primary crystals! ]
[Attributes: None! ]
Listening to the system prompts, David nodded silently. Over the past few days, he had collected a considerable number of crystals. The crystals in the system\'s inventory were now stacked like a small mountain. According to the system\'s prompts, the time until the first zombie outbreak was getting closer. He had to use these crystals to form his own team to ensure a foolproof approach to the zombie outbreak.
With that in mind, David called out to the system in his mind. "System, how much time is left until the mission is completed?"
[Ding! ]
[Mission: Store Crystals! ]
[There is one month remaining until the first zombie outbreak. Please use the remaining time to collect as many mutated crystals as possible and form your own team. During this period, all the resources you store will receive a 100x critical strike bonus. Remaining mission time: 7 days, 10 hours, 5 minutes.]
Seven days, the final seven days. His team was still like rubbish at the moment. Would they really be able to survive on the day of the zombie outbreak? It wasn\'t just him who needed to level up, but every person in the team. Only when everyone became stronger would there be a chance of surviving the zombie outbreak.
Lost in his thoughts, David patted Little Black\'s butt. "Let\'s go, Little Black." Little Black let out a whimper, seemingly unhappy about David patting its butt, but still followed David and moved forward. As they passed by Monica, David paused for a moment, glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and continued walking forward.
Duke jogged over and said to Monica, "Beauty, would you like to join us?"
Monica gave him a disdainful look and walked ahead, surpassing him and standing behind David. Seeing Monica\'s actions, Duke thought Monica was impressed by his charm, and a smile quickly appeared on his face. "Beauty, wait for me."
Duke wanted to shout out, but afraid of attracting zombies, he could only suppress his voice and run forward while calling out, looking back at David, Monica, and Little Black who were still standing in place, gazing at the sky.
"What are you looking at?" Duke scratched his head and looked up at the sky. In that moment, he was shocked. Before entering, the sky was still normal. But now, the sky was filled with boundless blood-red color, and the colors reflected on the ground had turned into a blood-like crimson. The most terrifying thing was the sun hanging in the sky. It was slowly being covered by the blood-red hue until the sun was completely devoured.
"Oh no," David muttered as he looked at the scene. The first time he saw this scene was during the first mutation of the zombies. But before that, he had already encountered many mutated zombies.
"Roar!" Without much time to think, a zombie suddenly leaped from behind. The overall appearance of the zombie was no different from a regular one. But as its body emerged in the blood-red sky, it began to undergo changes. The zombie\'s body emitted a series of cracking sounds.
"Oh my god, what is this..." Duke didn\'t finish his sentence.
David had already summoned the car. Instead of focusing on the zombie, he sat in the driver\'s seat. "Get in the car!" he shouted.
Monica sensed something was wrong as she watched the changes happening to the zombie\'s body. She quickly turned around and got into the car. Duke was dumbfounded, staring at the zombie. It wasn\'t until Little Black gave him a fierce kick and he fell to the ground that he reacted.
"Damn!" Just as Duke got into the car and closed the door, the zombie crashed into it! It was so fast that after being exposed to the light, its speed was more than three times that of a regular zombie!
David watched the zombie relentlessly chasing them through the rearview mirror. Seeing that the zombie was about to jump onto the car, he released one hand and quickly tore open a portal in front of the car. With determination, he drove into the portal! The car entered the dimensional gate, and the zombie missed its target. The next moment, the car appeared in a distant location, far away from the zombie.
"What\'s going on?" Duke muttered.
Monica\'s gaze remained fixed on the window. On the streets and squares, many zombies were being illuminated by the red light, gradually undergoing changes. However, some zombies, despite being exposed to the light, remained at the basic level and didn\'t undergo any transformation.
Watching this scene, Monica muttered to herself, "Red light... It came so soon?" She recalled Abraham\'s previous speculation that before the first zombie outbreak, red light would appear on the horizon. However, she didn\'t expect to see it so soon.
David also stared at the awe-inspiring red light, his brow furrowed. He had already seen the red light in his previous life and knew its power. Not only could it cause some zombies to undergo significant evolution, but it could also incinerate humans into fireballs. Its terrifying power haunted all superhumans.
However, Duke, wearing a curious expression, looked at the red light and said, "I wonder what humans will become after being illuminated by the red light."
David chuckled lightly and said, "It will make you taste the fear of death in an instant. By then, you will become one of the zombies in this world."
As David spoke, both people in the car turned to look at him. Meanwhile, Out the window, a man was running. The red light shone on the face of the man, with an expression of great excitement. He thought it was a step towards further advancement, but he didn\'t realize it was just the first step towards becoming a zombie.
David gestured for the two to look outside the window. When Duke and Monica looked out, the man had already started to burn. After the combustion, he turned into a zombie. In the end, he could only remain as a basic-level zombie. Even under the illumination of the red light, he couldn\'t further evolve into a mutated zombie.
The red light this time is like a awakening for humans. Zombies standing under the red light are equivalent to choosing a trial, and the red light will select suitable zombies for upgrades. Upgraded zombies will have special abilities, while those not chosen will remain as basic-level zombies.
David drove quickly back downstairs. He drove the car inside and only opened the door when he could safely exit without being illuminated by the red light. Standing in the stairwell, he looked up at the red light in the sky, furrowing his brow. He didn\'t know how long this red light would last or if it would be the same as in his previous life.
However, regardless of the circumstances, David knew that the most important thing for him now was to enhance his own strength. Only by improving his strength could he fearlessly face anything in the apocalypse.
