As the mbers of the Embers squad continued to level up, David conducted a series of practical exercises with them. Whenever they had ti, he would drive the apocalypse vehicle through the streets to help them search for zombies. At this stage, if they wanted to further level up, they had to rely on higher-level crystals and accumulated combat experience. And all of this had to be earned through their own efforts.
Although there were endless crystal resources in David's warehouse system, he believed that if he wanted his squad to beco powerful, he couldn't always lend a hand to each of them. In this world, he could provide assistance in tis of crisis, but he would never give handouts. Therefore, each mber of the squad had to earn their strength through their own efforts.
Only in this way could the Embers squad beco a truly fearso force in the apocalypse. David was pleased to see that through the past few days of practical training, the combat capabilities and skills of each mber had improved significantly. Their attack thods had beco more diverse, and they could even utilize the different awakened abilities of each team mber for coordinated combat.
For example, when Arnold activated his werewolf ability, he could rely on Charles' stargazer ability to detect the movents and strength of the enemy in advance. anwhile, Duke could use his shadow manipulation to control the enemy, allowing Arnold to execute more precise attacks. However, these tactics could only be effectively used against opponents who were evenly matched. If they encountered enemies with higher levels and greater strength, these tactics would be greatly restricted.
However, David wasn't in a rush because he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed. It had to be a gradual process. Moreover, the team mbers had just recently leveled up, and each person still needed ti to adjust to their newfound abilities. If they were too impatient, it could lead to unintended consequences.
What surprised David the most during these days of practical training was that everyone seed to have learned to be decisive in killing. When encountering zombies, they would imdiately strike and kill them without leaving any chance for the zombies to survive. Even Sally, who was naturally gentle and prone to hesitation, had beco ruthless. This was truly unexpected for David.
After all, they were living their days on the edge of a knife, and if they showed rcy to their enemies, it could give them an opportunity for a deadly counterattack. It would be a situation where the farr is bitten by the snake. As he watched the team grow continuously, a sense of confidence gradually arose in David's heart. He believed that as long as the Embers squad existed, there would always be a place for them in this world. After all, the apocalypse was a paradise reserved for the strong.
And the Embers squad would beco the builders of this paradise.
On this day, David drove the apocalypse vehicle back to the base with the squad mbers after another practical mission.
"That zombie today was too cunning. If I hadn't acted quickly, he might have escaped. Thanks to Duke for catching his shadow in ti, otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to catch up to him," they were still discussing the scene as they got out of the vehicle.
David turned off the engine and slowly got out of the driver's seat. As he got out, his gaze instinctively turned towards the entrance of the base. When he saw that there was no movent, a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart. Previously, when they returned from their practical missions, Blackie and Cola would run out to greet them upon hearing the engine of the vehicle. But today, there was no sound or movent in the entire underground parking lot except for the voices of a few people.
"What's going on?" David's mind was filled with confusion.
At the sa ti, the others also noticed that sothing was wrong. "Why didn't Little black co out to greet us today? And where's Cola? Did these two oversleep and forget our return ti?" Sophie speculated to Arnold.
The group quickly pushed open the door and returned to the base, searching every corner of the rooms, but there was no sign of the two. This left everyone puzzled.
"This shouldn't be happening! They never leave without us. If we're not with them, they won't go anywhere," Sally continued searching the room while speaking. Arnold also went to the parking lot to search again, but the result was the sa – there was no sign of the two familiars.
This made David furrow his brow instantly. He knew their habits too well. Normally, they wouldn't leave unless they were out on a mission together. Especially Cola, who would rather laze on the sofa all day than go out. So why had they suddenly disappeared?
David quickly turned to Charles and said, "Use your ability to see where they went."I think you should take a look at
Charles looked nervous as well, but he nodded and imdiately activated his Stargazer ability to trace their whereabouts.
Soon, Charles put down his hands and opened his eyes. Then, with a hint of doubt in his gaze, he said to David, "I saw an esper entering here, and after that, Cola and Little black left the base with that esper and disappeared."
Charles described the scene he had just witnessed. An esper had appeared here, and Cola and Little black had disappeared with them. Hearing Charles' words, everyone beca tense. They couldn't determine whether this new esper was a friend or a threat to their squad.
Moreover, they had a vague feeling that the esper who could take away Cola and Little black wasn't an ordinary person. If that was the case, what was their intention in taking them? Could the two of them be in danger? The thought imdiately raised concerns in everyone's hearts.
Having spent so much ti with Cola and Little black, they not only saw them as mbers of the squad but also as their own family. If anything happened to them, it would greatly affect everyone in the squad.
David's expression beca extrely serious. His attachnt to Cola and Little black was deeper than anyone else's. However, he didn't panic right away. Instead, he cald himself down and pondered carefully. After a mont of silence, he asked Charles again, "Can you trace the person's aura?"
Charles shook his head, but then added, "I can track that person based on Cola and Little black's aura." Upon hearing this, David didn't hesitate and imdiately instructed Charles to start tracking. They followed Charles' lead and began their search for Cola and Little black.
From David perspective, regardless of what had happened, the safety of Cola and Little black was of utmost importance. Only by finding them could they confirm if they were hard. So the most urgent task is to find the location of Cola and Little black.
As for the esper who took Cola and Little black away, David didn't care at all. He knew that no matter the esper's level or strength, if they dared to harm Cola and Little black, he would return the favor a hundredfold. So the group, led by Charles, got back into the car and began searching based on the auras of Cola and Little black.
"This is top-grade spirit beast at, and you two are really lucky. Even Sky fire, I'm reluctant to give it to him. Shirley always scolds for being stingy," Duane said. He was sitting on a scrapped machine tool in an abandoned factory, holding a fresh piece of spirit beast at in his hand. Cola and Little black were by his side, staring at the at with anticipation.
Duane tore off two pieces and threw them to Cola and Little black. Little black imdiately stuffed it into its mouth and swallowed the whole piece of at in one gulp. Then it looked at Duane's hand again. On the other hand, Cola was calmly chewing and savoring the spirit beast at. Seeing the contrasting behaviors of the two Spirit beast, Duane chuckled.
"You guy, eat in such a hurry? Look at how refined the kitty eats. Only this way can you fully digest the spirit beast at," Duane said to Little black with a smile, and then he tore off another piece and threw it to Little black. At the sa ti, he occasionally glanced at the entrance of the factory, seemingly waiting for sothing.
Ever since he saw David on the surveillance screen, he beca curious about this squad and wondered if their appearance was related to the Second Red Light. So he followed the detected location and arrived at the underground parking lot base.
Just as he arrived there, he saw Cola and Little black before his eyes. Upon seeing the familiars, Duane had an idea. He wanted to et David, so he decided to take the two Spirit beast with him, expecting David to co to him personally. Perhaps then he could learn so secrets about the Second Red Light.
Duane tempted Cola and Little black with the spirit beast at originally prepared for Shirley and Sky fire. Sure enough, under the lure of the delicious at, the two Spirit beast quickly followed him out of the underground parking lot and arrived at the abandoned factory.
