Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system-Chapter 231 The Abyssal Graveyard
After saying this, Fatso knew he had slipped up, and his eyes began to wander as he looked at David. However, David showed no surprise; he had known Fatso's intentions all along, but he hadn't exposed them.
In the apocalypse, finding a powerful team was a precious thing for everyone. Not to mention the various abundant resources; it was like a survivor's paradise.
However, David didn't immediately agree to Fatso's request to join the team. Instead, he smiled and said, "Show me what you can do."
With that, he walked towards his team members. Fatso scratched his head, looking serious. "Show you what I can do?" He understood the implications of David's words. So he thought for a moment and then walked over, saying, "I can take you to the Abyssal Graveyard."
As these words came out, everyone, including David, froze in place. The Abyssal Graveyard? No one knew what that place was, but judging by its name, it seemed to be a horrifying existence.
Fatso nodded. This was the ultimate goal of his journey to the town of D. The Abyssal Graveyard, as the name suggested, was a burial ground for countless people. Before the apocalypse, it was just an ordinary graveyard. But with the advent of the apocalypse and the change in the world's laws, it had become a haven for eerie zombies. Countless powerful zombies roamed there, even the buried corpses broke through the soil to become one of the undead. There were even some eerie beings beyond zombies lurking there, becoming the executioners of the Abyssal Graveyard.
Fatso wanted to visit the Abyssal Graveyard this time to see if he could obtain higher-quality blood bones. This would significantly enhance his physical strength. Only he, as a Dawn Scavenger, knew of this place's existence. Even if others knew, they would be terrified and wouldn't dare step foot there.
By telling David, Fatso demonstrated his determination to join the Embers team. After explaining the Abyssal Graveyard to everyone, they were all taken aback.
"It's too terrifying! That's not a place for humans to go!" Sophie shuddered at Fatso's words and instinctively clutched Arnold's arm. Everyone had a similar expression, extremely serious. Even though their purpose for this trip was to hunt zombies and enhance their strength, they still felt it best to avoid overly powerful and eerie zombies. After all, their strength had its limits, and relying solely on David's solo battles was not a long-term solution.
"I've heard rumors about that place. No one who goes there comes back alive. Even some high-level espers can only avoid it from afar, feeling powerless. I think our current strength might not be able to support us going to such a place." Charles, who had mostly recovered at this point, thought for a moment and shared his thoughts.
However, Charles still looked at David, who was resting his chin on his hand, contemplating. After a moment, David nodded and said, "We won't know until we go. Rest well tonight, and tomorrow, we'll head to the Abyssal Graveyard."
"But..." Sally spoke up at this point, wanting to say something. David smiled at her, gesturing that she didn't need to be afraid.
From Fatso and Charles's words, David understood the horrors of the Abyssal Graveyard. But no matter what, they would have to face it sooner or later. It might be better to take this opportunity to explore it first. If they had any unexpected gains, it would be a joyous event.
David's goal was not solely focused on those eerie zombies but also to uncover more truths about this world. Since the Second Red Light Event, the situation worldwide had become unpredictable, and he needed to find out all the truths to unravel its mysteries. He was also curious about the eerie beings in the graveyard that even high-level espers feared.
Seeing David's nonchalant expression, everyone pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. They would follow whatever decision David made without hesitation. This trust they had in David made Fatso silently nod in approval.
"The Abyssal Graveyard is dozens of kilometers away from here. I'll take you all there tomorrow, and perhaps, I can become a member of your team," Fatso said before turning to the corpse of the ghost zombie. He inserted his hands into the body and found its blood bones. Skillfully and quickly, he extracted them and placed them in his backpack.
Night soon fell. With the ghost zombie slain, the atmosphere was no longer as cold as before. David decided they would spend the night here before setting out for the Abyssal Graveyard tomorrow. They found a few abandoned rooms, sat down on the floor, and rested. David, however, gazed through the window into the night sky, lost in thought.
After Abraham's death, Monica had been in a deep slump. Danny's frequent and inexplicable departures from the base only left Monica alone in the empty room. Sitting by the window, she gazed at the melancholy sight of zombies wandering the streets. She felt the need to talk to someone, to share her thoughts.
When that idea arose, David's image was the first to surface in Monica's mind. But these past two days, she had been to David's base and found it deserted, as if the entire team had left. This only made her sink deeper into melancholy.
"This world... is truly a tragic place," Monica sighed, resting her chin on her hand. "Perhaps it's also a world full of surprises."
Suddenly, Danny pushed open the door, her face sporting a smile. Monica glanced at her, showing a hint of confusion because behind Danny, she saw an unfamiliar woman. The woman wore a white dress, had long hair, and a cold expression.
"Who is she?" Monica asked as she pointed to the newcomer.
Danny turned around and looked at the woman calmly. "I forgot to introduce her. She's Louisa, our new team member." Danny said, leading the woman named Louisa into the base.
"New team member?" Monica grew even more puzzled. She hadn't expected Danny to recruit a new member at this time, especially since she had never mentioned it to her.
"What? Do you have a problem with that?" Danny looked at Monica with a knowing smile, which made Monica's heart skip a beat. Since Abraham's death, Danny had been treating her with apparent coldness, making her slowly feel estranged from this former comrade-in-arms. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗o𝚟𝚎𝚕.org
"No, I just think you could have told me in advance," Monica said softly.
"Hehe, I'll remember that next time," Danny replied, sitting on the sofa with a light chuckle.
