Novel Bin Chapter 53 Will Arnold Still Will Arnold Still Open The Door?
"Is anyone there? Open the door..." This time, the woman\'s voice sounded extremely sad. If it were someone else, they might have opened the door out of compassion. But David continued to watch, his hand tightly gripping the doorknob. He wouldn\'t open the door, but that didn\'t mean Arnold wouldn\'t.
Arnold was a retired soldier, and his sense of justice always remained within him. Hopefully, he had learned a lesson from the incident with the father and son. After a few minutes, the woman looked at Arnold\'s door, then glanced at David\'s door with a tilt of her head before finally leaving. David looked at Arnold\'s firmly locked door and couldn\'t help but feel satisfied.
In the apocalypse, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself. With a single thought, David saw the unfinished task in his taskbar.
[Task: Apocalypse Reserves!]
"The apocalypse is approaching. Please collect as many usable resources as possible and store them in the emergency storage space! During this task, all resources you store will receive a 100,000x critical boost. Remaining time for the task: 0 days, 15 hours, 1 minute."
Looking at the precise countdown, David furrowed his brow. It wouldn\'t be easy to go out and search for supplies within this time frame. The recent explosion had attracted the attention of the surrounding zombies. Going out now, David could easily find himself surrounded by dozens of zombies with a single careless move.
"David, are you there?" Arnold\'s voice came in a low whisper from outside the door. David looked through the peephole, confirmed that it was Arnold, and then opened the door. Arnold walked in, already wearing the armor David had given him and holding a long knife in his hand.
"what are you doing?" David asked, puzzled.
"David, today I\'m going out with you," Arnold said earnestly.
Going out together wasn\'t a bad idea. It would allow Arnold to gain more experience and increase his combat effectiveness. David nodded and agreed. He turned to Sally and gave her a few instructions, asking her to temporarily stay with Sophie until they returned.
Cola was still asleep when they left, so David didn\'t bring Cola along. He only brought Little Black with him. Little Black looked at David not bringing Cola and was quite happy. It bounced along with David in excitement as they left. After the group had left, Cola, curled up inside the house, slowly opened its eyes. Its eyes emitted a faint green light. Cola let out a low purr, stood up, stretched lazily, and leaped lightly, disappearing outside the room.
This time, David planned to visit the largest central hospital in the city. Interestingly enough, the central hospital was located next to the site of the explosion.
"David, are there usually this many zombies around?" Arnold, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn\'t help but ask as he watched the zombies being knocked aside along the way.
David glanced at him calmly and shook his head. "Just a small portion," he replied, stepping on the accelerator, increasing the speed of the car.
Behind their car, there were still many zombies chasing after them. However, their speed was far inferior to David\'s, and they were quickly left behind. Without a target, the zombies wandered aimlessly on the streets.
Central Hospital. Both of them were startled when they saw the sign hanging half off the roof. The once bustling central hospital had turned into a terrifying place after the disaster struck. David parked the car not far away and locked it up.
"David, did those zombies enter that shop?" Arnold pointed to a small store next to the hospital.
That store happened to be the location of the explosion. But miraculously, the explosion had demolished the surrounding shops, yet that particular store remained unscathed.
David didn\'t pay much attention to it. The fact that no zombies entered the hospital was a good thing. Taking advantage of the zombies outside being completely focused on that small store, David successfully entered the hospital with Arnold.
Inside the hospital, everything was in chaos, with machinery strewn about on the ground. Seeing the corpses of zombies on the floor, David didn\'t hesitate and led Arnold around them, heading straight to the pharmacy. As they approached the pharmacy\'s entrance, they discovered that the door couldn\'t be pushed open, and even the windowsills were locked.
Considering the timing of the zombie outbreak, the pharmacy shouldn\'t have been closed. Could there be someone inside? Just as David was contemplating this, Arnold and he exchanged a glance and, using his long knife, Arnold directly cleaved open the door in front of them.
"David, this knife of yours is really good!" Arnold\'s eyes lit up, looking at David with excitement.
David nodded, showing no surprise, but rather an expected reaction. As they stepped into the pharmacy, a sense of danger immediately struck. David swiftly dodged a sudden attack!
"Human... you\'re humans!" A nearby doctor trembled, holding a surgical knife, pointing it at David and Arnold. Since the zombie outbreak, he had been hiding in the pharmacy, afraid to make a sound. Over the past three days, he had only eaten a piece of bread and drank a bottle of water. It was because he didn\'t make any noise that he managed to evade the wandering zombies outside.
David frowned and glanced at the doctor, then began scouring the pharmacy for medications.
[You obtained 10 bottles of ibuprofen, critical boost in effect:100,000x!]
[Congratulations, you obtained 1 million bottles of ibuprofen!]
[You obtained 20 bandages, critical boost in effect: 100,000x!]
[Congratulations, you obtained 2 million bandages!]
Arnold watched as the medications disappeared from David\'s hands without feeling surprised. The doctor, on the other hand, holding the surgical knife, felt a sense of wonder at David\'s actions. Since the zombie crisis erupted, all his common sense and knowledge had been turned upside down. Everything he was witnessing in front of him seemed like a dream.
Unfortunately, it wasn\'t a dream. After David thoroughly looted the entire pharmacy of medications, he wasted no time and prepared to leave with Arnold.
"Take... take me with you," the doctor put down his surgical knife and spoke up.
David didn\'t stop, he walked out without hesitation. The door of the pharmacy had already been smashed by Arnold, which meant destroying one of the doctor\'s only means of escape. Arnold, feeling guilty about it, stopped and stood at the entrance of the pharmacy. David sighed, patted Arnold\'s shoulder, and whispered, "I don\'t bring just anyone with me, understand?" Arnold trembled and nodded.
"Go and search for more medications," David said, and he entered the pharmacy once again. Arnold didn\'t hesitate either, he listened to David\'s words and started wandering nearby.
The moment David stepped into the pharmacy, he had an additional low-level crystal in his hand. When an ordinary person consumes a crystal, they either turn into a zombie or gain superhuman abilities. There was no need for him to keep useless individuals by his side.
