Making Those Who Bullied Me Pay the Price

Such as crawlers, lickers, and so on.

Although Duane only took down ordinary high-level zombies, it's not something an average person could handle.

His smooth progress was all thanks to the changes that occurred in his body after being bitten by a zombie.

His own aura no longer attracted the attention of monsters.

Whether it was a sickle mantis, lizardman, or zombie.

It seemed they had no interest in him.

Even if he actively used weapons to attack these monsters.

These monsters only instinctively resisted for a moment.

And this resistance would stop abruptly after he moved a certain distance away.

Discovering this situation, Duane was overjoyed.

He even felt that the outside world was not the apocalypse, but paradise.

"In the past, I was honest, had principles, had morals, and kept to myself."

"But what about you guys? Not only did you look down on me, bully me, but you even put me in the hospital?"

"Fine, since you all want to bully me, from now on, I, Duane, will be a thorough villain, I want all those who bullied me to pay the price."

Duane clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.

After saying this, he looked towards the building opposite the rented house.

"Hayden, didn't your wife send the dog to bite me before? And said the dog's life was more precious than mine? Since you're closest to me, let's start with you, remember your wife is quite pretty..."

Hayden was a resident in the same neighborhood as Duane, usually arrogant and domineering.

Ordinary people didn't dare to provoke him.

Once his wife, Florence, took the dog out without a leash, and it bit Duane when he came back from work.

Duane instinctively kicked the dog.

But instead of apologizing, the other party accused him of kicking the dog.

"If you didn't kick my dog, how could it have bitten you?" That was Florence's exact words at the time.

It had to be said, although Florence had some looks, she was a fierce tigress herself.

She had quite a knack for framing people.

And since there were no surveillance cameras in this broken neighborhood, Duane was left with no way to defend himself at the time!

Later, Florence's husband, Hayden, showed up.Duane originally thought that men would be more reasonable, but this guy only sided with his own wife.

He even uttered the classic line: "My dog is of such and such breed, worth much more than your stinking errand boy life." This sentence deeply wounded Duane's pride.

Although the other party didn't demand compensation later, Duane had to pay for the rabies vaccine himself.

And the other party still didn't apologize.

Every time he thought about this, Duane wished he could kill the couple.

Before, he didn't have the chance, but now he did.

Duane took a deep breath and pulled the steel bar out of the zombie's head.

Originally, he was going to figure out how to deal with the couple.

But to his surprise, the steel bar brought out a small black gem the size of a fingernail, with transparent black veins?

The gem was covered in blood and brain matter, but Duane still noticed it.

"Huh? What's this?"

Duane was somewhat surprised and subconsciously held the gem in his hand!

He held it up to the sun!

The black veins were mysterious, and the gem itself was crystal clear.

Without much thought, he quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and rinsed it clean.

The gem became even more beautiful.

"This stone is really pretty..." Duane murmured to himself.

It was at this moment that Duane suddenly felt a strong urge to swallow the gem.

This urge was like that of a vampire craving blood.

"Could this thing... be edible?" Crystal nuclei grew inside the heads of monsters.

Ordinary people would be terrified at the sight of monsters.

Who would bother to crack open a monster's head?

And under normal circumstances, monster corpses would be eaten by other monsters.

So it was extremely difficult for humans to discover crystal nuclei.

Let alone thinking about eating them.

However, Duane was different after all.

So he was able to discover the existence of the crystal nucleus for the first time.

Meanwhile...

Bruce, unaware of the dramatic changes happening to the errand boy he had beaten up three months ago, was elsewhere.Because at this moment, he was relentlessly hunting down those monsters.

Nowadays, zombies, apart from their teeth, weren't particularly strong in terms of claw damage.

As long as he didn't encounter a group all at once or engage in prolonged battles with them, with Bruce's current strength and agility, they could hardly lay a finger on him.

Watching Bruce single-handedly slashing through the crowds of monsters, whether it was the people in the hotel or the survivors on the streets, or even Bruce's teammates, they all wore expressions of astonishment.

"So strong..."

"Too... too amazing!"

They knew Bruce was powerful, but they had never imagined he was this strong.

Previously, either there weren't many monsters, or Cedric and Elbert were there to support, or Ben and Adam were leading the way.

So they never got to see Bruce's true individual combat prowess.

But now?

Bruce's personal combat power completely befuddled them.

Although his moves weren't fancy, and his actions weren't particularly graceful, his reactions and speed were off the charts.

Even the Black Iron High Rank sickle mantis couldn't land a scythe attack on Bruce!

With Bruce reaching the bottleneck of black iron, coupled with the sharp Andúril sword in his hand, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

"Just a bit more, just a bit more."

"Just a bit more to go..."

As time passed, Bruce became more and more accustomed to this kind of slaughter.

With the sharpness of the Andúril sword in his hand, his speed in killing monsters was getting faster and faster.

Often, he only needed one sword to precisely hit the vital points of these monsters, thus taking them down.

The only regret was!

The Silver-ranked Andúril sword, when hunting down Iron-ranked monsters, didn't increase energy by one point anymore.

But only??

It seemed that the energy of Iron-ranked monsters couldn't meet the requirements for Andúril sword absorption?

But this was not important anymore, as the current Silver-ranked Andúril sword was completely sufficient.[Ding, congratulations, your enhancement level has been raised to Bronze Initial Stage...]

Boom!

With the sound of the system prompt, Bruce's whole body's cells seemed to ignite like something had been ignited within him.

They began to heat up.

However, Bruce didn't feel uncomfortable; instead, it was very comfortable??

This feeling was like an ancient tree experiencing spring, or a long drought meeting sweet rain.

The power that was previously depleted was actually starting to recover?

Seeing that there were still several lizardmen with scales and fierce faces that hadn't been dealt with yet.

Bruce, who had no more fighting strength, quickly shouted.

"Ben, hold them off."

As soon as the words fell!

Thud thud thud thud!

A tall figure rushed out from behind Bruce, using both hands and feet, meeting those monsters head-on!

Boom!

Ben's flesh egg impact instantly sent the foremost lizardman flying.

This lizardman was like a bowling ball, knocking down all its kind behind it.

At that moment, Elbert and Cynthia, along with a few teammates, also rushed over.

"Hoo, hoo, finally succeeded."

Bruce half-knelt on the ground, panting heavily, wiping the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

Seeing Bruce's condition, needless to say, they also knew what Bruce was doing.

With the apocalypse upon them, everyone's bodies were undergoing changes.

Bruce's current situation was clearly a breakthrough, right??

It was unknown how long it took, but Bruce finally recovered!

After putting away the Andúril sword into its rusty scabbard, he stood up straight and stretched his arms.

And casually checked his attributes.
