Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Buying a House at a Bargain Price
When it comes to buying things, Alex’s grandfather had once taught him.

“Alex, when you marry a wife in the future, remember, never argue with them, just go along with them when buying things.”

Young Alex, innocently asked at that time, “Why? Isn’t it supposed to be a mutual decision?”

Grandfather shook his head lovingly.

“You’re still young, you don’t understand…”

Now Alex understands.

Looking at the two charming women in front of him, who could spend a whole day discussing buying a house, Alex was tired.

He just wanted to lie down in bed and have a good sleep.

Just then, Olivia suddenly said, “I remembered, there’s still one place we haven’t seen.”

Alex was startled.

There’s still a villa community they haven’t seen?

They specifically spent money consulting real estate agents in the East City District, and they had definitely visited all the villa communities.

Mia, thoughtfully said, “Olivia, are you talking about that villa community?”

Olivia nodded.

“Yes, that one.”

Alex was puzzled again.

So, am I the only one who doesn’t know where it is?

He pursed his lips and asked directly, “So, where exactly is it? If you two keep me guessing, I’ll have to enforce the house rules!”

The so-called house rules, went without saying.

Mia blushed slightly, pursed her lips, and said, “Look at what you’ve become! It’s the most luxurious villa community in the East City District, the environment and layout there should meet our needs.”

Alex was confused.

Why hadn’t the real estate agent mentioned this villa community before?

“Why didn’t the real estate agent mention this villa community?”

Olivia explained, “Because this villa community has been taken over by mutant plants, it’s simply uninhabitable. We found out about it while chatting on the local survivor channel.”

Alex was delighted.

For others, mutant plants were a major concern.

But for them, with special herbicides, it wasn’t a problem at all.

“So what are we waiting for, let’s go check it out.”

Later, they arrived at the once most luxurious villa community in the East City District.

The villas here were indeed the most luxurious, with both the houses and the yards, probably totaling one or two hectares!

Unfortunately, there was no one living here anymore.

Every villa was covered with mutated ivy and vines.

Big yard, few people around, quiet, good location.

These few requirements of Alex and his friends were all met here.

“This is it.”

Alex immediately made the decision.

This time, Mia and Olivia did not object, they all agreed.

“This place is indeed beautiful, let’s go for it.”

“The villa yard even has a swimming pool, the yard alone is as big as the yard in my old house.”

Alex messaged the real estate agent in the East City District.

“Hello, I want to buy a house.”

The real estate agent was very happy.

“What kind of house would you like to buy? We have many types here, including apartment-style houses, large flats, townhouses, detached villas…”

Alex directly said, “I want to buy the villa community surrounded by mutant plants, the best located number one residence there.”

The other party immediately lost interest.

In the past, the villas here indeed could sell for sky-high prices.

But now, because of the invasion of mutant plants, they’re practically worthless.

The real estate agent sent a message: “Twenty pieces of S alloy, fixed price, and I’ll transfer the ownership of the villa you’re interested in directly to you.”

Just like when Alex and his friends moved in at that time, shelters would have system assistants.

Alex wasn’t in a hurry, thinking the price could go even lower.

“Ten pieces of S alloy!”

The real estate agent took a sharp intake of breath.

This… cutting the price directly in half.

He insisted, “That’s impossible, twenty pieces of S alloy is the bottom line, it’s already very cheap! Show me which villa you can get for twenty pieces of S alloy?”

Indeed, twenty pieces of S alloy was already a very cheap price.

Compared to those villas without mutant plant invasions, which easily went for hundreds of pieces of S alloy, it was practically a giveaway.

But Alex said, “Boss, look, you’re stuck with these properties, you’re not making any profit, right? With ten pieces of S alloy from me, you still make something, right?”

The real estate agent was somewhat helpless.

Not wanting to linger on this villa, he simply went along with Alex’s wishes.

“Alright, alright, ten pieces it is!”

The two started the transaction.

After receiving ten pieces of S alloy, the real estate agent transferred ownership of the villa they had their eyes on to Alex through the system.

From that moment on, Alex and his friends became the owners of that villa.

Ding! Alex’s system mailbox received a notification that the real estate agent had transferred ownership of the villa to him.

Then, Alex received a reminder from the residential assistant.

[Dear Master, large quantities of mutant plants have been detected outside your residence, please clear them as soon as possible!]

“Let’s go take a look.”

Alex led the group to open the villa’s gate and enter the yard.

The vines entwined on the walls immediately sensed their presence and rushed up to drive them away.

Although these mutant plants didn’t have much intelligence, most of the time, they acted on instinct.

But they were territorial.

For Alex and his group suddenly intruding, they instinctively wanted to drive them away.

The mutant plants gnashed their teeth, and they had tough, iron-like skins.

Ordinary survivors wouldn’t dare provoke them.

Only Alex would casually walk up as if nothing was wrong.

“Mia, Olivia, you two wait outside for now, I’ll go in and deal with it,” Alex said.

Alex put on his combat gear, preparing to enter.

Mia and Olivia obediently nodded.

“Okay, we’ll wait for you outside, be careful,” Mia said.

Alex nodded and went straight into the villa.

He needed to go inside to find the roots of the mutant plants and spray the special herbicide on them.

Entering the house, Alex surveyed around.

Surprisingly, there were no signs of invasion inside the house.

The roots of the mutant plants didn’t seem to extend from the inside out.

Strange.

Following the mutant vines clinging to the outer wall, Alex went straight to the roof.

He tentatively speculated that mutant plants generally wouldn’t expose their roots.

He naturally assumed that the mutant plants would hide their roots inside the villa.

But the reality was contrary to his speculation.

He had to find another way to locate the roots of the mutant plants.

On the rooftop, thick vines sprawled freely, like octopuses with suckers tightly adhering to the ground.

Alex’s arrival was obviously unexpected.

These mutant plants seemed to come alive from dormancy, attacking Alex with a flexibility and speed completely mismatched to their own trunks.

But Alex didn’t intend to engage in combat.

His second plan was to follow these vines on the rooftop to locate the roots of the mutant plants.

This method should have been used long ago.

Although dangerous, it was the most effective way to find the roots of the mutant plants.

Dodging the attacks of the mutant plant vines with ease, Alex jumped onto the vines and, bending down, leaped directly towards the position of the roots.

As the mutant plants sensed their roots were about to be attacked, they began to retract the vines laid around them, trying to build a barrier to protect their roots.

But Alex was one step ahead, spraying the special herbicide directly at the roots.

The mutant plants encountered their nemesis, and even with their struggles, they couldn’t stop their vines from gradually withering.

Soon, the roots rotted away.

The mutant plants, devoid of life, no longer entangled the villa Alex and his friends had purchased, but lay limp in the backyard.
