On the other side of the city, inside an equally dilapidated building, an old man stood before a double-layered security door, leaning on a cane. With a "beep," the identity verification succeeded, and the double doors slowly opened. The sight inside the secure door was in stark contrast to the decrepit building.
Inside was a massive laboratory, various experimental equipment neatly arranged on tables, and containers of different colors filled with liquids bubbling away. And in each of these liquids, without exception, were black objects. Approaching one of the containers, the old man pushed his wire-rimmed glasses and furrowed his brow, a hint of seriousness appearing on his face.
"It's running out of time. I must hurry to extract more energy," the old man murmured, shaking his head.
This old man was none other than Abraham, and the objects immersed in the liquid before him were actually corpses of zombies. Not only in the liquids but also in some cryogenic chambers and on surgical tables, there were neatly arranged zombie bodies. From their appearance, these zombie bodies were particularly large and seemed different from ordinary zombies, most of them being high-level ones.
Abraham collected these zombie bodies from various places. The reason he collected their corpses was that he discovered a little-known secret from these high-level zombies. It seemed that enormous energy was hidden within them. This energy was potent and could even directly trigger the mutation of humans, granting them incredible abilities.
For example, Abraham successfully obtained teleportation abilities by extracting energy from a high-level zombie corpse. That was why he could leave the base and come here when the red light appeared. His teleportation ability allowed him to move to a location twenty meters away in the blink of an eye. During the movement, he couldn't be targeted, not even by something as terrifying as the red light, which couldn't harm a hair on him.
However, Abraham had never revealed this secret to Danny, Monica, and others. After conducting several experiments, he discovered that the energy extracted from the zombie bodies wasn't easy to control. The acquired abilities were also not very stable. This would pose potential risks to those who absorbed this energy.
Abraham knew that if he revealed this secret to Danny and the others, they would surely experiment on themselves in an attempt to gain these abilities. But as the only elder among them, Abraham didn't want them to become guinea pigs. Originally, he planned to wait until he had more time to thoroughly study and research in the laboratory. However, the sudden reappearance of the red light made Abraham immediately realize the urgency of the situation.
Moreover, he had a vague sense that a wave of higher-level zombies was about to descend. For the survivors like them, it would be a devastating massacre. Therefore, before that happened, he needed to completely understand this energy and stabilize it, making it fully absorbable by those with abilities. Only then would they have a chance to survive.
"God bestows great tasks upon worthy individuals," Abraham muttered as he put on his lab coat. "I hope I have enough time." With that said, he picked up a surgical knife from the operating table and began his research on the zombie bodies...
Back at the original base, David quickly informed everyone about the discovery of the new base.
"Great! Now we don't have to worry about finding a place to stay!"
"Yes! Only then can we focus on practicing and improving our abilities."I think you should take a look at
Arnold and Sally exclaimed happily. Although they were at level three, they couldn't control their abilities very well yet. At this stage, their abilities were still unstable, so a secure stronghold was crucial for both of them. Sophie nodded repeatedly and started packing her belongings, and everyone else became busy as well.
David didn't have many things, and most of the important items were carried by the system, so he didn't have much to pack. Seizing the opportunity, he crouched down to stroke Little Black's fur. "Little Black, we're moving to a new place. Are you happy?" After consuming the crystals, Little Black seemed more understanding, immediately grasping David's words and wagging its tail excitedly. This brought a smile of contentment to David's face.
In the monotonous life, he was grateful not only for Sally's presence but also for the company of Little Black and Cola. Otherwise, he might have developed depression in this constantly anxious life.
And Cola? David was thinking about it when he suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Cola since he entered the room. He quickly turned his head to search for it. At that moment, Cola's voice came from the windowsill. "Meow! Meow!"
David let out a sigh of relief and walked over, reaching out and picked up Cola. "Little one, where did you go? You scared me for a moment." Listening to David's words, Cola simply looked at him and twitched its whiskers twice before letting out another "meow."
David had always had a big question in his mind about Cola. He felt that there must be some secret about Cola that he didn't know. However, even after spending so much time together, he hadn't discovered what that secret was. Just then, Sally walked out of the bedroom carrying a box.
Seeing David holding Cola, she was slightly surprised and asked, "When did Cola come back?" This question left David somewhat confused. When did Cola come back? Did it go out when he left? He quickly asked, "Did Cola go out after I left?"
Sally nodded, but then immediately shook her head. After David left, Cola did disappear, but she didn't see Cola following David outside.
Seeing this, David was also puzzled, and his curiosity about Cola deepened. Meanwhile, Cola remained curled up in David's arms, looking completely content.
Soon, everyone finished packing their belongings. As David had instructed earlier, to quickly reach the new base, each person only carried essential items. After double-checking, David nodded and handed Cola to Sally while letting Little Black follow Arnold. Then they left the room.
As they were leaving, David deliberately circled a few floors, trying to find the man. The secret of the red light remained unresolved, a knot in his heart. He had to find a way to get answers from that man.
However, even after circling a few floors, David couldn't find any trace of the man's residence. Helpless, he decided to leave first and come back when he had time. After all, settling everyone else was the most important thing at the moment. And so, the four people, one dog, and one cat set off toward their new base.
