Chapter 186 Nutrient Solution
David glared at the man called Fatso but didn't say anything. Instead, he raised his alloy dagger. Seeing the dagger in David's hand, Fatso immediately wore a smile on his face.
"Hey, buddy, don't be impulsive. I got lost and ended up here. Who would've thought I'd run into your territory! The world is so big, we might meet again if we're destined!" After saying that, Fatso bowed to David and prepared to leave with a carefree attitude.
Watching Fatso act like a wandering hero, David spoke in a deep voice, "Put down the gene fruit from your pocket, or I'll turn you into fertilizer for these fruits."
Seeing that he had been discovered by David, Fatso awkwardly smiled and took out a gene fruit from his pocket, placing it on the ground.
"I knew there was something bulging in your pocket. Turns out, it was a fruit! Strange, did this guy grow legs by himself?" Fatso scratched his head, feigning confusion.
"That pocket," David ignored his pretense and pointed to the pocket on the other side of his clothing.
"Oh, there's another one here too! Damn, it's really strange. " Fatso said with a laugh. He then took out another gene fruit. At the same time, a hint of reluctance appeared in his heart. He had climbed to the second floor and picked these two fruits, but he hadn't even tasted them before returning them.
However, even so, the smile on Fatso's face didn't diminish at all. He completely concealed his thoughts. Seeing this seemingly harmless Fatso, David couldn't help but feel amused. Acting all tough in front of him? Little did Fatso know that David had experienced various types of people in his previous life, having roamed and struggled in society. Just a single glance, and David knew what was going on in Fatso's mind.
However, David's face also showed a hint of surprise. He didn't expect that this guy without awakened abilities would speak so confidently in front of his level ten presence, and he hadn't even revealed his true thoughts. Apparently, this man was a very cunning character.
"Buddy, can I go now? Don't worry, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just mention the name Fatso, and I guarantee smooth sailing for whatever you do! We roam the world, and reputation is everything!" Fatso said, making a righteous expression while extending his thumb.
"The fruits you plucked are poisonous. Today, I saved your life, so consider it a debt you owe me," David said. If it weren't for David taking the gene fruit from him in time, that guy would have probably eaten it by now. By then, his two hundred pounds would have become fertilizer for the fruits in the greenhouse.
Upon hearing David say the fruits were poisonous, Fatso paused for a moment and then showed a relieved expression. He lifted his head, glanced at David, and left the greenhouse. Using a rope, he quickly descended to the ground and disappeared at the end of the street.
Watching the rope left behind by Fatso, David remembered this plump man who roamed the world.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned hospital in the city, on the fourth floor, there was a hidden room in a long, dimly lit corridor. Needles of various sizes were scattered all over the floor, and the smell of alcohol mixed with the stench of decay constantly irritated the nostrils. The room's door was shut, and inside, boxes of nutrient solution were stacked. Behind these boxes, there was a narrow empty space.
A nurse crouched trembling in the hidden room, her hands tightly covering her mouth, afraid to make any sound. Suddenly, a hurried footstep sounded from outside the corridor.
A middle-aged doctor arrived in front of the pharmacy door, anxiously whispering to the nurse inside, "Don't make a sound. These nutrient solutions are our only supplies. If they're taken away, we will lose all hope of survival in this apocalypse!"
As the middle-aged doctor spoke, he kept glancing at both sides of the corridor, seemingly afraid of someone approaching. Upon hearing his words, the nurse inside the hidden room wanted to say something but suddenly heard a sinister voice from outside.
"Old man, where are the nutrient solutions? If you don't hand them over, believe me, I'll kill him right away!" This immediately made the nurse nervous, and she tightly covered her mouth again.
Watching the two approaching figures, the middle-aged doctor stood up and said to them, "I will never tell you, even if it costs me my life! It's because of despicable scoundrels like you that the apocalypse has become even more cruel!"
Upon hearing the middle-aged doctor's words, the two slowly approaching individuals couldn't help but sneer. "Augustus, give that guy a taste of our methods by shedding some blood!" said the man standing behind.
"As you wish, boss! Dealing with this kind of thing is my specialty!" The two men were Eamonn and Augustus, successful puppets under Alexander's command.
After becoming Level 6 Espers, both of them awakened their abilities. They relied on their formidable strength to recruit all of Gary's former subordinates into their Murder God Gang. Those who didn't obey became the wandering spirits under their control. This time, the two of them came here to seize some nutrient solutions for their guild members.
Hearing Eamonn's words, Augustus smirked, revealing a chilling coldness at the corner of his mouth. Then, he swung his hand holding a young doctor by the neck fiercely.
"Splurt!" Instantly, a red flash appeared as Augustus's palm struck, leaving a bloody gash across the young doctor's neck. The young doctor cried out in pain as blood gushed out like a fountain from his neck.
"Felix!" The middle-aged man trembled as he looked at the young doctor. "Beasts! You animals! Even if you kill all of us, I won't let you succeed!" He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixated on Eamonn and Augustus, burning with anger.
Now he only blamed himself for not awakening his ability, for not having the power to save his students. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to fight desperately against these two people. But now, he had to protect the nutrient solutions in the room. Otherwise, ordinary people like them who hadn't awakened their abilities would face the threat of starvation.
"Oh? Didn't expect this old man to have some backbone?" Augustus dropped the barely alive Felix from his hand and laughed.
"Well, then let's see your bones are stronger, Or I have more methods" With a hint of murderous intent, Augustus transformed into a crimson flash and quickly charged towards the middle-aged doctor. He struck his palm on the man's chest, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt from his mouth.
