Novel Bin Chapter 159 Mandy
"It\'s good that you understand!" Alexander sneered coldly, and a gust of wind blew through. The two zombies returned to their chains at the entrance, and the red lightning in the sky slowly dissipated within the clouds.
After realizing that the surroundings had become silent, Alvin finally let out a heavy sigh of relief. The palm of his right hand, which was gripping the dragon-headed cane, was soaked with sweat. Every time Alexander appeared, he could feel a terrifying sense of oppression. That\'s why he willingly became Alexander\'s puppet in the apocalypse, not just for the position of Phoenix Rising squad leader, but also because of Alexander\'s terrifying power that was shrouded in mystery.
As someone who understood the rules of survival in the apocalypse, Alvin decisively chose to attach himself to Alexander. He looked up at the distant sky, and suddenly, a sharp light gleamed in his eyes. An eerie aura slowly enveloped the dragon-headed cane in his hand.
"I want to see how capable you really are this time!" Alvin viciously smashed the cane into the ground, causing the stone pavement to instantly crack and a loud rumble to echo. Then, Alvin turned around and walked out of the courtyard, slowly disappearing into the white mist.
"Hmph! What a useless old man! If it weren\'t for the fact that you still have some value, I would have fed you to my two pets already!" A young man in the void looked at Alvin\'s disappearing figure and sneered. Afterward, he casually picked up a floating potato chip.
He shook it and realized it was empty, which made him feel even more disappointed. "Forget it, forget it. I\'ll enjoy a feast of potato chips after that guy is taken care of." After saying that, the man lightly swiped his finger, and a rift suddenly appeared in the void. A woman\'s voice immediately came through the gap...
Back at the base, several members of the Embers squad were anxiously pacing inside the house. When they saw David return unharmed, the worry on their faces disappeared.
Sally quickly approached with a concerned expression and asked, "Why are you back so late? Everyone was worried about you."
David reached out and rubbed Sally\'s head, smiling as he replied, "I got delayed with something, that\'s why I came back late."
Arnold also stepped forward and asked, "David, did you deal with that bastard?" David nodded in response.
With that, everyone finally felt relieved. After briefly discussing some other matters, David retreated to his room to study the Bone Enhancement ability.
As David focused his mind, a heavy and profound aura instantly rushed into his body from all directions. Feeling this iron-like aura, David\'s mind calmed down, as if he was enveloped in a thick armor.
At the same time, David could feel a faint "cracking" sound emanating from every inch of his bones. Then, a cool sensation, as if his bones were wrapped in metal, spread over his skeleton. After about three minutes, this cool sensation slowly dissipated.
David slowly opened his eyes and heard the voice of the system.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for strengthening the bones throughout the body!]
David lifted his arm and moved his body, and sure enough, he could clearly feel his bones, like strands of steel. Even when his joints moved, he could sense a tight and solid sensation.
"It truly is the ability of a high-level zombie. It has enhanced the defense of my bones!" David exclaimed with excitement. With this enhancement, his defensive ability as an esper had been further sublimated, and even a faint layer of metal coating appeared on his skin, just like the bone armor of the skeletal zombie he encountered earlier.
David never expected to have such an unexpected gain today. At the same time,He also found the straw man he had snatched from Duane\'s grasp in his own hands. After taking it out, David carefully examined it. The small straw doll, about the size of a palm, had facial features drawn with red cinnabar ink, and two straw-made ponytails on its head, vividly depicting the image of a little girl.
This made David somewhat disdainful of Duane. Such a beautiful little girl buried in his hands was truly a precious treasure. Thinking of Duane\'s actions earlier, David followed suit and bit his finger, dripping a drop of blood onto the straw doll\'s body.
Suddenly, the straw doll trembled violently and then bounced on the ground, once again turning into the size of an adult. Its facial features also became lively, constantly tilting its head to observe David in front of it. Seeing its cute and endearing appearance, David couldn\'t help but smile. He originally thought that this treasure only recognized Duane, but now he found out that it could also be bound by his blood.
Looking at the straw doll\'s tilted head, David thought for a moment and said to it, "From now on, you\'ll be my substitute puppet. Let\'s give you a name... Mandy!"
Upon hearing the name Mandy, the straw doll\'s ponytails suddenly shook, and then it looked at David, tilting its head in another direction. Apparently, it was quite satisfied with the name. This action surprised David. He didn\'t expect that it could understand his words. Could it also have some intelligence?
So David threw the TV remote control beside him onto the ground and said to Mandy, "Pick up the remote control."
Upon hearing David\'s command, Mandy\'s body stiffened for a moment before slowly turning to look at the remote control on the ground. Then, it bent down, picked it up, and placed it in David\'s hand.
This immediately filled David with excitement. At the same time, he realized that it was probably because of his own level that he possessed a bit of human consciousness. And as for his strength, it would also increase along with his level.
David nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Mandy. He then commanded it to return to its original size and put it back into his embrace. Although he took this treasure from Duane, he didn\'t feel guilty at all. After all, he saved that guy\'s life, so it wasn\'t excessive to take some treasures from him, right?
Besides, Duane\'s treasure trove was filled with countless items, and the absence of one wouldn\'t have any impact on him. With this in mind, David accepted Mandy as his treasure with a clear conscience.
If Duane knew what David was thinking at this moment, he would probably want to bring out all his treasures and give David a proper lesson.
David lay on the bed, recalling everything that happened today. He realized that he wasn\'t the only one curious about the Second Red Light; there were others searching for the underlying laws of the apocalypse. This made him aware of the importance of strength. If his strength wasn\'t formidable enough, he might find himself in a passive situation in the upcoming apocalypse.
Therefore, David secretly made up his mind to further improve his strength. Only by doing so could he continue to secure his place in the unknown laws of the apocalypse.
