Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: James suddenly felt a twinge of regret
“Olivia, look over there, there’s a jewelry store!”

“I see it, I see it! Mia, there’s a cosmetics store over there…”

No matter when women see beautiful things, they can’t help but get excited.

It’s like when men see a car they like, they can’t resist stopping to admire it.

Alex smiled.

They had indeed been cooped up for too long lately.

It was necessary to relax a bit now.

But what Alex didn’t know was that someone was already eyeing them.

“Target locked!”

“Are you sure?”

“Absolutely sure, matches the intel, accompanied by two beautiful women, a mutant tiger, and a robot.”

“Copy that.”

Alex strolled behind Mia and Olivia, unaware that someone was approaching them from the shadows.

“Alex, you’ve finally arrived…”

After receiving Alex’s message, James had already dispatched someone to keep a close watch on the entrance to the East City district.

Since Alex had just arrived, he would definitely linger on the streets of the East City district for a while.

So, James stationed himself there.

You’ve crossed me, James, and brought such disgrace upon me, how could I possibly let you go?!

Spotting Alex’s presence, James wasted no time in hurrying over.

After all, Alex still had some fame in City 22.

But James didn’t care at all.

Hmph, they’re all just a bunch of backwater survivors boasting about their accomplishments.

Top survivors from small towns, in such a resource-scarce environment, could they really make a difference?

As for the survivors in the chat channel claiming Alex could eliminate mutant plants, James didn’t believe a word of it.

Even their team couldn’t eradicate mutant plants.

Alex?

How could that be possible!

As Alex and his companions strolled the streets, they weren’t in a hurry to find accommodation.

The one thing not lacking in the post-apocalyptic world was empty houses.

Just then, a young man in a suit approached them.

Alex found him somewhat familiar.

But he couldn’t quite place where he’d seen him before.

Then, he noticed some people gradually surrounding them.

Something wasn’t right.

Alex quickly said to the two women, “Hurry up and put on your combat gear, something seems off.”

He then put on his own gear.

Seeing this, James was certain it was them.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone straight into combat mode upon seeing him.

He took out his rifle and fired directly at Alex.

“Alex! You didn’t expect that I’d be here waiting just for you?!”

Subsequently, others also drew their guns and started shooting at them.

These people were all trusted associates brought by James.

This time, they intended to bring Alex and his companions to their doom.

However, the situation deviated slightly from the intelligence.

The intel only mentioned Alex wearing armor, but it didn’t mention that his two female companions also had combat gear.

But they all had to die!

James didn’t care in the slightest.

What if they were wearing armor? Could it withstand a rocket launcher?

“Give him two rockets!” James shouted.

But at that moment, his men hesitated.

These rockets were strategic resources.

Using them against Alex right now might not be appropriate.

Seeing his men hesitate, James cursed, “Hurry up and use them! I’ll replenish them later from home!”

With no other choice, his men reluctantly took out the rockets from their backpacks and launched them at Alex.

22 quickly rushed forward, activating the energy barrier to shield them.

Alex couldn’t help but marvel.

The strength of the survivors in City 25 indeed surpassed that of City 22 by a significant margin.

Previously, the Drug Cartel Team had become one of the three major teams solely with portable rocket launchers.

But here, along Alex’s migratory route, portable rocket launchers seemed to be common combat supplies, almost as if everyone had one.

Luckily, 22 could withstand the rockets.

Otherwise, even with their combat gear on, Alex and his team would have been injured.

The explosion from the rockets rolled up black smoke directly.

James, seeing no movement inside, thought Alex had been blown to bits, and began laughing heartily.

“Hahaha, Alex, this is what you get for messing with me!”

However, as the black smoke dissipated, aside from 22 looking somewhat disheveled with some wear and tear on the mech, Alex and his team were unharmed.

How was this possible?

James widened his eyes.

How could there be survivors who could emerge unscathed from a rocket attack, not even a single hair harmed?

Was it this robot?

What was the origin of this robot that it could withstand a rocket blast?

“One shot didn’t work, then let’s try another!”

Whoosh!

Another rocket was fired.

Surely, they must be dead now, right? Still not dead? James started to panic a bit.

What the hell was going on? How could they withstand two rocket blasts?

James suddenly felt a twinge of regret.

It seemed that Alex was more capable than he had thought.

After enduring two rocket blasts, 22 said to Alex, “Master, the energy barrier has been depleted and needs recharging. I won’t be able to shield you from rocket attacks anymore.”

Alex nodded.

“No need, it’s time to strike back.”

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Alex and his team had endured two rocket blasts.

Now, it was time to demonstrate their strength.

“Mia, Olivia, handle the enemies at the rear.”

“Puff Tiger, take care of the left flank.”

“22, you go deal with the enemies on the right.”

Alex quickly communicated with his team and gave them instructions.

Everyone responded promptly, dealing with their designated enemies.

Meanwhile, Alex charged straight towards James.

The defense around James was the tightest.

He really valued his life.

If it were anyone else, they might not have been able to get close.

Even 22 would have been suppressed by intense firepower, unable to advance towards James.

But Alex had the ability of Concealment.

Mia and Olivia, armed only with submachine guns and grenades, would have been riddled with bullets before they could even throw a grenade under normal circumstances, as there were no cover on the streets.

But now, wearing combat gear, they could easily withstand ordinary bullets.

So, one of them wielded a submachine gun while the other tossed grenades like they were free, scattering the enemies in front of them.

Puff Tiger relied on her speed, swiftly killing enemies.

Although she couldn’t avoid being hit by the concentrated firepower and her outer shell couldn’t withstand it, sustaining some damage, it was nothing serious.

It was the perfect example of sacrificing a little to kill many enemies.

As for 22, it was the least of Alex’s worries.

As a combat robot, it was brutal both in melee and ranged combat.

22 stood in place, Wings of Light Unfurled, slowly recharging.

“Get him! Take down this robot while it’s stuck in place!”

The enemies on the right seized the opportunity.

But as they ran closer, they realized something was off.

Why did it feel like the temperature was rising around the robot the closer they got?

After enduring the onslaught of bullets from these survivors just now, 22 had finally fully charged its laser device at its back.

The cooldown period for the last laser cannon shot had long passed.

Hum…

Hum…

Hum…

The light wings gradually emitted dazzling white light, echoing the sound of rapidly filling energy.

Damn it!

No, this was… this was a big move in the making!
