Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system-Chapter 40 Little Black’s Awakening

At night, David, Arnold, and the others sat together, and David explained to Sophie and Arnold what abilities were all about.

"So, you're saying that Brother Knife is also an ability user?" Arnold asked.

"That's right," David replied. He picked up a tissue from the dining table and casually stored it in his storage space, then took it out again. The others noticed that the tissue in David's hand suddenly disappeared and then reappeared.

"I awakened a spatial ability. I can store lifeless objects in another space and retrieve them whenever I want," David explained. With his spatial ability as a cover, David no longer needed to explain the storage space to others.

David told them that he awakened his ability a month before the apocalypse arrived. So he started stockpiling various foods and resources in large quantities. That way, everything that followed could be explained.

Arnold and Sophie looked amazed. "How can we obtain abilities then?" Arnold asked with a longing expression. The events of today had a great impact on him. He realized that if it weren't for Sally and David's intervention, he and Sophie wouldn't know what fate awaited them. In such chaotic times, if they didn't have enough power to protect themselves and those around them, they would become helpless prey.

But David shook his head. "For now, it seems that only natural awakenings are possible." David didn't tell Arnold that ordinary people could also become ability users by consuming crystals. Because the probability of an ordinary person becoming an ability user through crystal consumption was probably less than one percent.

Although David had heard that consuming crystals dropped by higher-level zombies or mutant creatures could increase the success rate of becoming an ability user and reduce the probability of death, it was only hearsay. Once the awakening failed after consuming the crystal, the brain would immediately die, turning the person into an irrational zombie.

For ability users, even if they ate mutant crystals like candy, it didn't matter. At most, they would have too much energy to absorb. But compared to swallowing, David preferred to absorb the energy from the crystals through skin contact. In the end, both methods yielded the same effect.

David only told Arnold and Sophie that consuming mutant crystals might turn ordinary people into zombies but didn't tell them that it might awaken abilities. He was mainly afraid that the two of them would make reckless decisions in pursuit of power. Besides, based on his previous life, Arnold would eventually become an ability user, just a little later. So there was no need for Arnold to take such a risk.

As for Sophie, David estimated that she was probably an ordinary person. It was highly unlikely to have all four members of a team as ability users. Just picking up Sally was already incredibly lucky for David. He couldn't expect all four of them to become ability users.

"Oh, I see," Arnold's expression seemed a bit disappointed.

David comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. Everyone has a chance. Let's eat first." With a wave of his hand, the dining table was instantly filled with delicious food, all retrieved from his storage space.

There was a variety of chicken, duck, fish, and meat on the table, as abundant as a Chinese New Year feast. Looking at the steaming dishes on the table, David's appetite soared. He hadn't eaten all day, and now he was starving.

David picked up his chopsticks and started eating heartily. Since becoming an ability user, his appetite had become exaggerated. His body needed a sufficient amount of energy to strengthen his physique and replenish his energy. The other three initially had no appetite, but seeing how deliciously David was eating seemed to have infected them, and they also picked up their chopsticks and started enjoying the food.

In no time, the table full of delicacies was devoured, leaving nothing behind. After dinner, Arnold and Sophie returned to their own house, leaving only David and Sally in the house. Sally was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, preparing to throw them away, while David sat in front of Sally's computer.

He wasn't planning to surf the internet. Nowadays, the information online was basically worthless. He opened the map software and searched for the location of a cold storage facility. After a search, he finally located a cold storage facility owned by a company called "Hao Cai" (Good Food). This company was the largest cold chain logistics company in SJ City.

The company used cold chain transportation to supply fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, and staple foods like rice and oil to various supermarkets and restaurants in SJ City every day. The cold storage facility was where Hao Cai stored the food. All the food would be transported here first for storage before being distributed to various supermarkets and restaurants in SJ City. If nothing unexpected happened, there should still be a large amount of food in the cold storage that hadn't spoiled yet. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

"Tomorrow will be the second day. The system gave an additional three-day ten-thousand-fold material crit bonus," David thought. He had used the first day to collect mutant crystals, and now he had over ten million of them in his storage space, which was more than enough. So David planned to gather some more food next. Although the supplies in his storage space were already enough for several lifetimes, who would complain about having too much?

If he collected supplies bit by bit from various supermarkets in the city, it would be too slow, and there were still many zombies in the city. To save on land rental costs, the cold storage facility was located on the outskirts of SJ City, where even buses were rare. It could be imagined that there wouldn't be many zombies in the surrounding area.

"It looks like I have to make a trip there tomorrow," David made a decision in his mind. He was about to close the computer when he heard Sally's exclamation from the living room. He also heard a few cheerful barks. "David, come and see, Little Black...!"

David quickly went to the living room and saw Little Black wagging its tail, bouncing around Sally, looking very excited. When it saw David, it barked at him a few times, its proud expression seemed to say, "Look at me, look at me!" Little Black opened its mouth and spewed out a blazing green flame into the empty space in front of it. "Hmm? Green flame?"

In his previous life, David had heard that Little Black's flames were extraordinary. Once the flames touched even a tiny bit of someone, they would spread like maggots on bones, burning the whole body, making it difficult to extinguish. However, David didn't expect the flames to be green in color, giving a somewhat eerie feeling. No wonder others gave it the nickname "Hellhound."

"Not bad, it seems you've also awakened," David crouched down and patted Little Black's head.Little black is very receptive, wagging his tail happily.
