Chapter 276 The Nature of Women
Before reaching Viola\'s base, David saw Mandy waiting for him from a distance. Seeing David\'s figure, Mandy hurriedly approached.
This surprised David somewhat. He hadn\'t expected Mandy to become more and more like a normal person now, even knowing how to greet him. He reached out and ruffled her hair.
Once inside the base, Viola quickly instructed her subordinates to pour tea for David. It was the same kind of tea that humans drank, but David didn\'t pick up the cup.
Viola didn\'t notice David\'s behavior and just looked at him, saying, "With the death of the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger, other creatures in the Beastwood will definitely sense the danger. This will likely trigger a massacre of creatures in the wasteland."
It was a delicate chain reaction; the creatures in the Beastwood weren\'t just adversaries, they relied on each other. If one was in trouble, the others would sense it and react accordingly. The death of the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger would certainly alert other creatures to the danger and they might become more aggressive, attacking any perceived threats.
David wasn\'t worried about this at all; in fact, he hoped the other four creatures in the Beastwood wouldn\'t die. Otherwise, he would have fewer opportunities? as he thought of it.
After a pause, David remembered the Zerg to the west and asked, "Do Zerg nests only exist in their territories?"
Images of densely packed Zerg nests and the massive nest of the Zerg Queen flashed through David\'s mind, leaving him puzzled.
Logically speaking, the Zerg were currently the strongest race in the wasteland, perhaps even the de facto rulers. Their influence should extend beyond their own territories; this was inconsistent with the brutal dominance they exerted.
Hearing David\'s question, Viola shook her head heavily with a worried expression, "Zerg used to only be active in their own territories. But some time ago, during our patrols, we found several underdeveloped Zerg nests within our territory. So, they\'ve started to expand their influence."
This was also why Viola had always been so concerned about the Heart of the Zerg. She had to stall the Zerg\'s actions before they attacked the Kui tribe. With the current strength of the Kui tribe, they couldn\'t possibly contend against the Zerg Queen and even some of the mutated Zerg creatures. The Heart of the Zerg had become her only hope.
Unfortunately, until now, she had no information about the whereabouts of the Heart of the Zerg. It was only after encountering David that she placed all her hopes on him. If she knew that David was coming to the wasteland empty-handed, she might have been driven to tears out of frustration.
However, David simply nodded after listening, not showing any unusual reactions. From The Gravekeeper\'s words, he had only heard about the Zerg, and not the Kui tribe or the Dark City\'s two power factions.
Clearly, The Gravekeeper didn\'t believe these two factions posed a threat to him. The real threats were the Zerg and the ones who held true dominion over the wasteland.
Only the Zerg race, this is also the enemy David will ultimately face. To establish a foothold in the wasteland, he must overcome the Zerg, even destroy them.
"By the way, have people from the Dark City never appeared in your territory?" With knowledge of two of the three major powers in the wasteland, David already knew quite a bit. Although the Dark City wasn\'t significant to him, he felt it was better to be prepared by learning more.
Viola shook her head; she had no knowledge about the situation there. She didn\'t even know their exact location, only that it was to the south of the wasteland. She had sent people to investigate before, but they had returned empty-handed, which had diminished her interest in the Dark City. Since its existence posed no threat to the Kui tribe, the two factions had coexisted peacefully.
"Perhaps the people there don\'t like disputes," Viola explained. David shook his head, indicating that he didn\'t agree.
In this world, disputes symbolized desires, most of which were desires for power. David believed that anyone who could survive in the wasteland desired dominance. The behavior of the Dark City made him think deeply. Either they were biding their time or waiting for an opportunity. When the time was right, they might rise and reap the rewards.
David had seen this tactic many times before, but he currently didn\'t care about the Dark City. He wouldn\'t take action against them unless they approached him first. If the situation was reversed, however, David would become their nightmare. After a brief rest, David prepared to leave with Mandy.
"David, that..." Viola quickly interrupted him.
"What\'s the matter?" David turned around to look at her.
Viola looked a bit embarrassed, hesitating. This made David quickly understand her intention. With a faint smile, he took out a portion of Dongpo pork from the system\'s storage and placed it on the table in front of her.
"This delicacy is best enjoyed while it\'s still hot." After saying this, David smiled and left, heading towards his own base.
Watching his departing figure, Viola joyfully picked up the Dongpo pork. Since David\'s battle with the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger, she had been yearning for this delicacy.
When David was about to leave, she couldn\'t hold back her emotions any longer and blurted it out. She hadn\'t expected that one day she would be moved by a piece of food. But to David, eating was an inherent nature of women, and it was also one of the best ways to understand and influence a woman.
Back in the base, David first took out a bottle of mineral water from the storage and began to drink. The reason he didn\'t drink the water that Viola had brought was that he always had to be cautious of potential risks. Although Viola was currently compliant with him, she was still the queen of the Kui tribe, and a cautious attitude was necessary.
After finishing the water, David looked at Mandy who was standing by the door, suddenly struck by an idea. He thought it would be a good idea to craft a weapon for her.
Recalling the piece of abyssal iron he had extracted, David immediately took it out. Looking at the dark and hard abyssal iron, he activated the modification function and quickly transformed it into a three-edged dagger. The sharp triangular edges and the extended blood grooves pleased David. He handed it to Mandy.
"This will be your weapon from now on. Give it a try, see if it feels comfortable." Holding the three-edged dagger, Mandy nodded curiously. She then executed a set of knife techniques before David with ease, and these techniques were quite similar to David\'s manipulation of the spatial blade.
"Great! In future battles, don\'t just rely on brute force. With this dagger, even immortals will leave a few pounds of blood before they can escape." Mandy nodded with a somewhat uncertain understanding, then she lovingly stowed the three-edged dagger away in her clothing.
