BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143 Even Theft Has Its Principles
Looking at Gary\'s weakened body, David noticed that the scales on his body had turned dark. He speculated that it was the result of the snake spirit\'s reciprocation. A faint smile appeared on David\'s lips. The snake scales were Gary\'s only defense, and now that he had lost that advantage, he was as helpless as a fish on a cutting board.
David glanced at him and said, "Not every survivor is as pitiful as you imagine. If you\'re from the Rat Clan, then you should stay in the dark and damp sewers where you belong. Crossing paths with our Embers Squad, you can only blame yourself." David never showed mercy towards those who overestimated themselves.
Hearing David\'s words, a hint of malice appeared in Gary\'s triangular eyes. "Why should the Rat Clan forever live underground? We are all survivors in this world and have the right to enjoy the sunlight outside. No one is supreme. In this world, as long as you\'re alive, you must enjoy everything you deserve."
David couldn\'t help but sneer at his words. Did being alive give you the right to enjoy everything? He silently shook his head. Remembering the humble fate from his previous life, David believed that if you wanted to obtain and enjoy everything, you had to rely on strength. This was a world of survival of the fittest, where the weak would eventually be defeated by the strong. It wasn\'t a matter of blaming fate but rather one\'s own fortune.
After being reborn, David\'s first priority was to continuously strengthen his own power. He killed zombies relentlessly to obtain crystals. He searched for resources tirelessly to ensure his survival. He formed the Embers Squad to provide warmth and support for survivors in this world. Everything he did was to prove to this world that he was powerful and deserving of it all.
But what about the person in front of him, who relied on theft and robbery? Using his cunning schemes to snatch the resources upon which other survivors relied. Although he was also surviving, a long-standing saying from David\'s previous life resonated in his mind: That is, even in theft, there is a principle. Without the "principle," it would be a disgraceful act of greed endangering lives. The same principle applied,Even in this absurd world, there was still a principle, and that was strength. Only with strength could one reign supreme!
So David looked at Gary and said coldly, "You think this world is too simple. If you could live another life, I believe you wouldn\'t utter these words. This world belongs to the strong, a world where might makes right. Ants like you are destined to be slaughtered."
Hearing David\'s icy and ruthless words, even Charles and the others couldn\'t help but break into a cold sweat. They watched David\'s figure under the dim light, as if they were seeing a proud and formidable god of slaughter!
Meanwhile, Gary secretly lifted his head and observed David\'s every move. When he noticed that David was lost in thought, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips. He quickly raised the revolver that had fallen from Dirk and aimed it at David.
This sudden turn of events made everyone present tense up! They couldn\'t believe that even when facing death, this guy was still resisting. Worried expressions filled their eyes as they looked at David.
"David, be careful!" Sally anxiously shouted to David.
In fact, David had already seen Gary\'s small movements before he made them, but he just shook his head slightly.
"Hahaha! I won\'t die in this world! Even if I die, I\'ll make sure you accompany me to the underworld!" When Dirk fell to the ground, his revolver slipped to Gary\'s feet. So when he was lying on the ground just now, he casually grabbed it and hid it behind his back. He had been waiting for this opportunity, waiting to deliver the final blow to the person who defeated him.
Looking at Gary with a crazed smile on his face, David furrowed his brow and said, "Sorry, I\'ve already died once. So I won\'t try the taste of death again."
At the same time, Gary pulled the trigger. A spinning bullet shot out of the barrel at high speed, heading straight for David\'s forehead like a meteor falling from ten thousand meters high.
Sally was instantly frightened and wanted to rush forward, but she knew it was too late. "David!" she could only shout his name desperately.
Arnold, Sophie, and the others also showed a hint of fear in their eyes. They seemed to anticipate what would happen next.
Just as the bullet was about to touch David\'s forehead, he suddenly closed his eyes and softly said, "Stop."
Instantly! The air within a five-meter radius of David seemed to freeze in place. Dust particles floated silently in the air, without any movement.
The entire space was momentarily paused by David. And the bullet also stopped right at his forehead. David raised his hand, gently took the bullet, and flicked it in the air.
Similarly, the bullet became a suspended object in mid-air. Everyone was astonished, unable to believe that David had the ability to pause space.
Gary\'s mouth gaped in terror, trying to continue pulling the trigger, but no matter how hard he tried, his fingers had no strength. David smiled, reached out and took the revolver from him, pointing the muzzle at Gary.
David awakened the spatial ability, so during his conversation with Gary just now, something seemed to strike a chord in his heart, stirring ripples. Then he felt as if he had plunged into an endless void, and a profound understanding of space rushed into his mind. And this mystery was the power to freeze space.
The pitch-black muzzle pointed at Gary, spreading fear in his eyes. In this moment, he seemed to experience a terror he had never felt before, as he looked into David\'s eyes. He felt that David\'s gaze was like an endless abyss, emitting chilling killing intent.
At this moment, Gary admitted that he was scared. "Please, spare me..." he struggled to move his Adam\'s apple, trying to plead for mercy from David. But no matter how hard he tried, under the effect of the frozen space ability, he couldn\'t utter a complete sentence.
What\'s more, David wouldn\'t give him that chance. Looking at Gary, David no longer hesitated. "Die." With a light shout, the sound of the firing pin striking the revolver in his hand resounded. Then a bullet suddenly shot out.
At the same time, the frozen space ended. The bullet that had been floating in mid-air slowly fell to the ground. However, along with it, another bullet stained with blood fell to the ground as well...
