Duane's lips moved slightly as he recited a series of obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations. Surprisingly, the black iron box visibly expanded at a rapid pace. Duane quickly opened the black iron box, revealing various objects inside. His hand reached for a golden bell.

The bell had a vibrant color and emitted a faintly sacred aura that was not to be desecrated. On the surface of the bell, a large character was engraved in a peculiar font. David stared intently and finally realized that it was the character "restrain."

After taking out the golden bell, the black iron box returned to its original size, and Duane put it back into his pocket. David understood that this box was Duane's hidden treasure, containing various magical artifacts and treasures that were his assets in this world. It became clear why Duane had boldly stepped forward to face the formidable skeletal zombie. He had this treasure trove, which gave him confidence and fearlessness.

This piqued David's curiosity about what treasures were inside the box. However, the most important thing now was to deal with the approaching horde of zombies.

As they pondered, the skeletal zombie viciously swung down its bone knife. For all the zombies, it seemed like a signal to attack! Dozens of zombies, gnashing their teeth and waving their limbs, rushed into the factory, madly charging towards the group.

Witnessing this, Duane didn't hesitate and bit his right index finger, then smeared the blood that seeped from his fingertip onto the golden bell. As soon as the blood touched the bell, it began to tremble slightly. The large "restrain" character on the bell started to emit a faint glow.

Then, Duane gently flicked the iron ball inside the bell. The bell instantly produced a crisp sound. The sound spread throughout the factory, forming visible ripples in the void, directly rushing towards the horde of zombies. Upon touching the zombies, the ripples immediately softened, causing the agitated horde to quiet down instantly. Their forward steps halted, and they stared ahead expressionlessly, seemingly indulging in something mesmerizing.

The skeletal zombie, unable to move, stood in place, attempting to swing its bone knife with force. However, the friction between its bones emitted a "clack clack" sound, rendering it powerless.

"I've subdued them, but it will only last for one minute! Hurry, leave now, or none of us will escape!" Seeing the once-aggressive zombies calm down, Duane quickly informed David.

While speaking, Duane continued to smear his fingertip's blood onto the bell, making it even more vibrant in color and its sound clearer. David no longer hesitated. He knew that the others wouldn't stand a chance against the skeletal zombie here. Rather than waiting here to die, it was better to seize this opportunity and leave quickly.

David instructed Arnold, who was by his side, "Arnold, take everyone and leave this place as quickly as possible, the farther the better!"

Upon hearing David's words, Arnold wanted to say something, but suddenly, from the horde of zombies, a piercing "clack clack" sound rang out. He quickly turned his head to see the skeletal zombie, which had lifted its bone knife over its head, seemingly about to initiate another attack.

"Don't hesitate, go!" David immediately realized that Duane's bell wouldn't hold the zombies for much longer, so he urged Arnold once again.I think you should take a look at

Arnold understood David's intention and nodded. He immediately led the team members and jumped out of a nearby window. Following David's instructions, Cola and Little black were also taken away by Arnold and Duke. Now, only Duane and David remained in the abandoned factory.

At this moment, Duane furrowed his brow. His right hand, holding the bell, began to tremble slightly, as if he was being counteracted by the skeletal zombie across from him. Meanwhile, the movements of the skeletal zombie appeared much smoother now, and it could even move its steps.

"Hurry! Its power is too strong, and I can't hold on anymore!" Duane barely finished his words when the light on the bell suddenly dimmed, and the divine-like sound that had filled the air abruptly ceased.

Then, a resounding explosion erupted! Duane's bell shattered into pieces and fell to the ground. The horde of zombies instantly lost their threat. The skeletal zombie let out a roar and viciously swung down its bone knife once again!

"Another one of my treasures ruined!" Duane couldn't help but curse and took a step back. He then pulled out a brown iron box, took out a machete from it, leaving David even more curious about this guy's treasure trove.

Meanwhile, David also unsheathed his alloy short sword and mercilessly slashed at an approaching low-level zombie.The zombie fell to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably. Duane showed no mercy either, wielding the mighty machete and cutting through the zombies as if slicing melons and vegetables. In the blink of an eye, four or five low-level zombies met their demise under his blade.

Impressed, David nodded inwardly. The two of them rushed into the horde of zombies one after the other, engaging in a frenzy of slaughter. With swift and clean movements, all thirty zombies were quickly laid to rest on the ground. The stench of blood permeated the entire factory.

Taking a deep breath and looking at the pile of zombie corpses on the ground, Duane turned to David and asked, "Why didn't you leave earlier?" When he had subdued the horde of zombies earlier, he knew that David had enough time to leave safely. In the face of danger, preserving one's life was the top priority for every survivor in the apocalypse. So he couldn't figure out what the young man was thinking.

Upon hearing Duane's question, David smiled faintly and casually replied, "You saved my team members. It wouldn't be right for me to leave . Besides, this guy isn't someone you can handle alone."

In reality, this was just an excuse David made on the spot. The reason he didn't choose to leave earlier was that the allure of the skeletal zombie was too strong. He wanted to see what kind of crystallization it could yield. That's why he decided to stay.

Duane raised an eyebrow in response, then quickly turned his gaze to the zombie. He then said to David, "You should have left. Those were just small ants. This is the most troublesome opponent." A bitter smile appeared on his face for an instant.
