Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 119

Chapter 119:  Why do you hold a grudge like that!
Oliver naturally remembered that incident.

However, he was a bit nervous and forgot for a moment.

Although he was the leader of a big team, heroes were made by the times.

Facing someone like Alex who could kill without blinking an eye, someone who killed a group with a single move, Oliver was terrified!

Oliver uncomfortably rubbed his bald head and chuckled, “Ah, there might be something like that! Big boss has a great memory, I admire that!”

Alex glanced at him with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “Aren’t you curious why I came here?”

Oliver grinned, “I know, I suppose the big boss wants to come to my place for a visit…”

Patrick stood by at this time.

Hearing Oliver’s foolish remarks, he couldn’t help but close his eyes.

Oh my boss, how did you lose your wits at such a critical moment!

After hearing Oliver’s words, Alex pursed his lips.

After two seconds of silence, he slowly said, “You’re quite hospitable…”

“Let’s cut to the chase. I came here today to ask if your team was involved in the things the drug cartel team did to me.”

Oliver quickly shook his head like a rattle drum.

“No, absolutely not! How could I do such despicable things! Boss, you did well. I’ve long been disgusted with that bunch from the drug cartel team! Boss, you have my support in getting rid of them!”

It seemed that the Dragon Soar Team had distanced themselves from the drug cartel team.

Alex had collected intelligence before; the two teams had fallen out due to the unequal distribution of Police Station assets.

Now, he just wanted to verify.

Alex nodded and said, “In that case, let’s talk about the second matter…”

Oliver’s small eyes were full of confusion.

The second matter?

Then, he blinked and wiped his forehead.

Could it be about the concrete incident?

“When I bought concrete from you to build an underground bunker, you seemed quite dissatisfied with me,” Alex said slowly.

Oliver’s heart sank.

Oh, my goodness, why do you hold a grudge like that!

Oliver forced a smile uglier than crying and explained desperately, “Well, you see, boss, you’ve misunderstood! It’s just, at that time, we were short on supplies, so the price was a bit high. Please don’t take it to heart!”

Alex tilted his head and looked at Oliver, who was fidgeting and sweating, and chuckled inwardly.

But he still said coldly, “Funny, isn’t it? I can’t find it amusing!”

“I couldn’t even eat after you refused me back then.”

At this point, even if Oliver was slow, he understood.

Alex was clearly demanding sufficient compensation from them before he would let them off.

Otherwise, the armored vehicle would just destroy the camp.

He didn’t want them to end up like the Police Station and the drug cartel team.

Oliver could only muster the courage to ask, “Boss, so how do you want to handle this? Should I send you a few thousand kilograms of concrete?”

Alex remained silent.

Oliver couldn’t quite grasp Alex’s intentions. After some thought, he reluctantly added more bargaining chips.

“Boss, how about I throw in fifty pieces of S alloy?”

Only then did Alex speak, “Oliver, you really don’t understand.”

Oliver opened his mouth, “Understand what?”

Alex responded with a question, “My estate is quite large, and it’s been quite troublesome to loosen the soil in the yard recently. I heard that Dragon Soar Team has a bulldozer, so I wanted to borrow it from you.”

Dragon Soar Team originally had two bulldozers, but one got damaged halfway.

Oliver, of course, knew that once water was thrown out, it couldn’t be retrieved.

It wasn’t like tap water that circulates.

Saying it was borrowing, but it was actually seizing.

But the bulldozer was the lifeblood of Dragon Soar Team!

If they gave it to Alex, would Dragon Soar Team still be Dragon Soar Team?

Oliver hesitated.

Alex immediately frowned in displeasure.

“If you’re unwilling to lend it, then I’ll just have to take it by force!”

Oliver cursed inwardly.

Your behavior is no different from that of bandits!

But he dared not say it.

After much hesitation, he finally said to Patrick beside him, “Patrick, bring out the bulldozer.”

Patrick nodded and walked straight into the camp to bring out the bulldozer.

He also knew that this was a relatively peaceful way of dealing with it.

Alex was fully capable of wiping out the Dragon Soar Team and taking away their resources.

Better to spend some money to avoid disaster.

At this moment, Alex added, “Oh, by the way, don’t forget about the S alloy and concrete. Package them together for me.”

“Boss, why like this? Didn’t I lend you the bulldozer?” Oliver’s heart was bleeding.

The bulldozer was a gold-tier resource!

With the addition of several thousand kilograms of concrete and fifty pieces of S alloy, it was like cutting a major artery.

Alex smiled and glanced at him.

“Oliver, compensation is compensation, borrowing is borrowing. I hope you don’t confuse the two.”

At this point, Patrick brought over the bulldozer, along with the concrete and S alloy.

Alex accepted the “looted” goods and left satisfied.

“Oliver, you’re an honest person. I like that. I’ll be coming often in the future!”

Oliver watched as Alex got into the armored vehicle and left, then sat down heavily on the steps by the gate, looking despondent.

“It’s over, Dragon Soar Team is finished…”

As Oliver said, although Dragon Soar Team didn’t suffer the same fate as the Police Station and the drug cartel team, their situation wasn’t much better.

A large-scale team needed sufficient resources and powerful weapons to occupy more bases and obtain higher-level resources.

But now, Dragon Soar Team had lost their trump card, the gold-tier bulldozer.

If other teams found out, they would definitely take advantage of the situation.

Alex’s move was like pulling the rug out from under them, even worse than killing them.

The news of them losing the bulldozer would spread quickly throughout the city.

Oliver even hoped that the meteor shower would arrive sooner.

That way, they might avoid a bloody conflict.

As for Alex?

He didn’t care about what happened to the Dragon Soar Team afterward.

Without using knives or guns, he was already being extremely accommodating.

Although Dragon Soar Team only gave him a small setback, in the old world, it would have been just a minor dispute on the internet.

But in the post-apocalyptic world, there were many who sought revenge and settled scores.

In a world without order, just a glance could lead to someone pulling out a gun.

Alex often saw on the chat channel that some survivors got into fights over trivial matters, exposed each other’s locations, and then had a showdown like in a Wild West movie.

But there were also many who were cowardly.

In essence, they were not much different from the keyboard warriors in the old world.

After all, showing off costs nothing.

But if you challenge me offline, that’s another story.

So, Alex had no regrets about his actions.

Although it caused Dragon Soar Team to bleed heavily and possibly drop out of the ranks of the surviving teams, being surpassed by others, that was just Dragon Soar Team’s own bad luck.
