Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system-Chapter 68 Two Crystals
Thump. David watched as the hand was raised high, his mind urging him to move, but for some reason, his body wouldn't respond!
[Ding! ]
[Detected one Shadow Crystal! ]
[Ding! ]
[Detected one Mental Crystal! ]
Two crystals!
Not only a Shadow Crystal, but also a Mental Crystal! The voice of the system sounded just in time, pulling David's consciousness back. He quickly stepped back, grabbing Sally's waist and pulling her aside! The zombie heavily smashed its fist on the ground, producing a loud noise and thick smoke. When the smoke cleared, a large hole had appeared on the ground. If that punch had landed on David, he would have been crushed. No matter how many armors he wore, they wouldn't be able to save his life.
David released Sally only to find that the zombie had already started moving. Oh no! David frowned, unable to react in time. He directly opened a spatial portal and disappeared with Sally in an instant. Just a second after they left, the zombie appeared in their previous location and once again swung its fist heavily!
Boom! A deep pit appeared right in front of them. Meanwhile, David and Sally emerged from another spatial portal not far away.
"David, what do we do?" Sally asked anxiously, standing behind David with a serious expression. The strength of this zombie far exceeded her imagination. The terrifying punches earlier made her realize the danger. However, David's face remained calm. He had seen too many zombies and knew that each one had a fatal flaw. At the same time, he remembered the moment when the tall zombie pointed at him earlier. It felt like his mental consciousness was being controlled by the other party.
After thinking for a moment, David understood that the tall zombie possessed the ability to control the minds of others using the Mental Crystal. It could manipulate a person's consciousness in a short period of time to create an opportunity for attack. However, David quickly discovered a loophole in this ability. It could only control one person's mind at a time, and the duration of control could be influenced by external sounds.
It was the system's voice that had helped David break free from its control just now. Thinking of this, David looked up at the tall zombie again. It still stared at David with a provoking expression on its face. Brian had arrived by David's side at this time. "This zombie's strength is too terrifying. I'm afraid... we're no match for it."
David, still expressionless, tightly gripped the alloy dagger in his hand and said to Brian, "Listen to my commands later!" After speaking, he opened a spatial portal and rushed towards the tall zombie, causing Brian and Sally to become even more nervous. David chose to engage in close combat with such a terrifying opponent? Even so, Brian stared at David with utmost concentration, ready to attack at any moment. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝗺
A crack tore open in the void, and David raised the alloy dagger and stabbed it towards the tall zombie's chest. David's goal was simple: to confirm once again if his speculation was correct. If it was true, then his plan could be executed perfectly. Watching David approaching, the tall zombie's mouth stretched open in a torn smile, seemingly mocking David's insignificance. Then, it raised its hand again and pointed at David's forehead.
David felt a buzzing sound ringing in his ears, and his entire body immediately stiffened in mid-air. However, he wasn't anxious. Instead, he invoked the system in his mind.
[Ding! ] As the system's voice sounded, David's body became agile again, but the tall zombie's fist also appeared before his eyes. Without much thought, David performed an aerial somersault, evading its strike.
After landing, David said to Brian, "The opponent can control human consciousness, but I have a way to counter it! When it raises its hand, you strike!"
"Sally, use your electric power to cover Brian!" David calmly stated his plan.
It can be said that in this plan, David placed himself in the most dangerous position. Even though he could use the system's voice to break free from the tall zombie's mental control, if he hadn't called upon the system in time, the zombie's fist would have unhesitatingly landed on him. Victory or defeat hung in the balance.
Among the three present, only he possessed such reaction speed and ability. As Brian listened to David's explanation, he immediately understood. He hadn't expected the strength of this zombie to belong to the mental category, posing such a terrifying threat to superhumans. If it weren't for David continuously engaging with it earlier, he and Sally would likely have become lifeless bodies lying there. At the same time, he knew that David's arrangement was meant to ensure their safety.
Unable to help it, Brian looked up at David's back, a feeling of gratitude spreading within him. After pondering for a moment, he had originally intended to say something, but David, like a gust of wind, charged towards the tall zombie once again. This time, David's speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the front of the tall zombie. Watching David, the tall zombie raised its fist once again and aimed it at David's head!
"Boom!" A loud boom resounded as David jumped several times, leaving the original spot and appearing behind the tall zombie. Raising the alloy dagger, he thrust it towards its back. The alloy dagger instantly penetrated the tall zombie's body, and a putrid blood flowed out.
The tall zombie roared in anger, evidently completely provoked by David's attack. It swiftly turned around, raising both fists, intending to deliver a heavy blow to David!
"Be careful!" Sally shouted to David with a worried expression, her heart racing. David looked up at the enormous fist descending from above and quickly opened a spatial portal, disappearing from the spot. Just as he reappeared, the tall zombie's fists struck the ground, creating two deep craters.
"Roar!" It let out another furious roar, glaring at David intently. Due to its anger, the brown crystal that served as its eye began to emit a stronger glow. David knew that he had completely enraged this creature. It might soon use its abilities to control his own body. Sure enough, the tall zombie slowly raised its finger once again.
Seeing this, Sally didn't hesitate and directly waved both hands toward the tall zombie. "Boom!" A purple lightning bolt instantly exploded from the top of the tall zombie's head, striking its skull and raising a thick white smoke. The tall zombie seemed to feel some pain, turned around, and stared fiercely at Sally. Then it let out a low growl and began to charge towards her.
