Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 116

Chapter 116: The man behind the scenes
Number 893453: “I’m so frustrated, why hasn’t 10086 gone out to gather supplies lately? There’s no new material at all! Damn, he looks so cool when he fights!”

Number 734563: “Yeah, especially when 10086 is dressed in combat gear, he really looks like a superhero. Just thinking about it makes me wet.”

Number 146534: “Wait, aren’t you a guy? Wet? Don’t mess around, I’m scared.”

Number 734563: “Hehe, can’t guys get wet too? (wry face)”

Alex looked at the chat, a faint smile lingering on his lips.

However, the chat records became increasingly inappropriate, and his entire face fell.

Are these guys all perverts?

Mia and Olivia didn’t look too pleased either.

But it was obvious they didn’t like Alex being talked about like this.

Well, he’s kinda cute though…

Alex secretly rejoiced on the side.

Mia wanted to type a retort in the group to hit back at these fans.

But Alex stopped her.

“Don’t, just endure it. I haven’t lost any flesh off my body.”

“The main task is not to forget, you’re like a thorn in their side when you’ve just arrived, too easy to attract attention.”

Mia struggled for a while, and finally reluctantly agreed.

“Alright, just let them continue chatting in the group! But I’ll remember their numbers, and if I encounter them later, they’ll have a hard time!”

Alex chuckled and ruffled Mia’s hair.

He was relieved that Mia could stand up for herself like this.

Warmth filled his heart.

Messages in the group flickered rapidly, with many people chatting.

Apart from some useless junk information, they still gathered quite a bit of useful information.

Number 834534: “Any experienced drivers in the group? Hurry up!”

Number 365634: “Suddenly got the hint! Let’s get going!”

…

Number 845674: “Anyone else? Keep it up! I hope you can be more sensible!”

Number 235663: “Any GIFs? Pictures aren’t satisfying enough.”

[Number 365634 has been muted for ten minutes by Administrator Number 10010]

Number 10010: “Everyone, this is the 10086 fan internal group. If you’re here to share adult content, please leave, okay?”

Number 65533: “Damn… then do something productive!”

“I was pulled in by a friend, they said there’s work to do, can earn necessities, so I came!”

Number 74534: “Exactly, I came here out of curiosity, but nothing’s happening, I’m leaving the group, leaving.”

Number 10000: “If you want to work, message me privately.”

Hmm? Work?

Private messages?

Alex felt something was off. His intuition was telling him so.

“Mia, why don’t you go chat with 10000 privately. Damn, it’s those two again, I want to see what they’re up to!”

Mia nodded and immediately sent a private message.

“Hello, Administrator, I also want to work.”

Number 10000 quickly replied.

“Do you know what kind of work it is?”

Mia was puzzled, looking at Alex.

Alex stroked his chin.

After careful consideration, he said seriously, “It should be some kind of part-time job, right?”

“Previously they mentioned getting supplies for working, so it’s probably some sort of work that requires labor.”

Mia nodded in agreement.

Then, she confidently sent a message.

“I know, working is just part-time.”

Number 10000 was speechless.

Of course, working is a part-time job! But, I asked about the specific content of the work.

It seems like she wasn’t introduced by someone familiar.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t misunderstand the true meaning of “working.”

“Sorry, we have enough workers for now, we don’t need any more. We’ll contact you if we need help next time.”

After that, no matter how Mia tried to explain, he ignored her.

Mia looked at Alex with a bit of grievance in her eyes.

I did what you said, why is it turning out like this?

Alex felt a bit embarrassed too.

He didn’t expect the other party to be so cautious.

What he thought was a simple matter now seemed a bit complicated.

He even worried if he had alerted them.

Olivia spoke up at this moment, “Alex, why don’t we go ask those who claimed they wanted to work earlier? They might know something.”

Alex’s eyes lit up.

“Yeah, Olivia, go ask them!”

“Mia has already stirred things up, it’s better not to attract more attention, let’s lay low.”

Olivia nodded, then found the survivor who had just claimed they wanted to work.

“Hello!”

Number 745345: “Hmm, what do you want?”

Number 1314: “Hey handsome, can you tell me what ‘working’ means? I saw you mentioning in the group that working can earn supplies, help me out…”

Number 745345: “I don’t know, I have no idea what you’re talking about!”

This survivor was tight-lipped, outright denying any knowledge.

But Olivia wouldn’t easily give up, would she?

“Hey handsome, I really want to earn some supplies, I’ve been nearly starving lately! Can you please help me out?”

At this moment, the other party didn’t immediately reply, suggesting a possible willingness to negotiate.

“Tsk, I suppose I can tell you, but, you know, I’m running low on supplies myself. If I let you in, wouldn’t that just mean one more competitor?”

“You get it, right?”

Olivia’s lips curled into a smile upon seeing the message.

As long as he’s open to discussion, it’s likely just a matter of striking a deal.

“Hey handsome, as long as you’re game, I’m willing to trade you some essentials! Come on, spill the beans!”

Number 745345 remained unmoved.

“First, let’s talk trade. I want ten loaves of bread.”

Olivia didn’t immediately agree, instead teasing the other party.

“Um, ten loaves of bread, isn’t that a bit steep?”

745345 chuckled.

He thought to himself, this newbie must be inexperienced in dealing.

“The compensation for the job I’ll give you is more than just that. I’m offering you a fair deal, I won’t cheat you.”

“In that case…”

The trade was successfully negotiated.

Number 745345: “Actually, it’s not that complicated. Just find Number 10000 and say ‘ABC’ to him, and he’ll invite you into another group.”

Olivia was taken aback.

ABC? So, as suspected, there really is a puppet master behind the scenes.

Alex’s expression turned serious as well.

He never anticipated someone going to such lengths to tarnish his reputation.

Fortunately, Olivia and Mia are quite perceptive to these matters and caught the issue in time.

After closing the chat, Olivia glanced at Alex.

“What do you think, should we keep looking for 10000?”

Without hesitation, Alex slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “Absolutely, we must! Why wouldn’t we? I’m really curious to know who’s pulling the strings!”

“And besides, we can’t let those ten loaves of bread go to waste.”

Olivia chuckled.

“Alright, I’ll go find him and join that shady group.”

Number 10000 was accustomed to receiving private messages.

Seeing the new member, Number 1314, requesting to join the group, he raised an eyebrow.

Another one here for work?

Olivia got straight to the point, “Hello, I’m here for ‘ABC’.”

Ah! A pro, no beating around the bush!

Number 10000 didn’t waste any time with small talk.

“I got it, welcome aboard.”

Shortly after, Olivia received an invitation to join the group.
