Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Spectrum Squad Arrives Late
[Legion of Glory Leadership Communication Group]

Jason: “Comrades, just now, the captain successfully recruited Mr. Alex, who can eradicate mutated plants. From now on, we will be partners.”

“Because Mr. Alex needs a material called Starry Grass to eradicate mutated plants, the captain asked me to convey his wishes. All Legion of Glory soldiers, starting today, will spare no effort to collect Starry Grass.”

“Message conveyed, please reply upon receipt.”

Timothy: “Second platoon received!”

Just moments after Jason’s message was sent, the leader of the second platoon immediately responded.

Within the Legion of Glory, a burly man cursed in the chat.

“Timothy, this guy, can’t do anything right, but always the first to respond!”

He then replied in the chat as well.

Jeffrey: “First platoon received!”

Ryan: “Received!”

Ryan was the vice captain of the Legion of Glory and deeply trusted by Captain Skylar.

Like Soldier Jason, he was a newcomer brought by Skylar from the old world.

Gathered in the apocalypse, they began to establish the Legion of Glory.

After Jason sent the message, he reported to Skylar.

“Reporting to the captain, the message has been sent in the group, and all members of the leadership have replied.”

Skylar nodded.

“Good. Alex, let’s continue from where we left off.”

Just a moment after Jason sent the message, Skylar and Alex resumed their conversation about Alex’s employment salary.

It was better to settle this matter earlier.

Skylar didn’t want any grievances to arise later on.

Alex nodded.

After some consideration, he stated his compensation.

“Skylar, I won’t ask for much. Just give me some rare metals. Fifty pieces of S alloy will suffice.”

Skylar frowned.

“So little?”

He understood Alex well.

Back in City 22, Alex had left a strong impression as someone wealthy and generous.

Fifty pieces of S alloy might be a huge sum for others, but for Alex, it was merely a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning.

Alex smiled and said, “Yes, fifty pieces of S alloy will do.”

In truth, he only valued the Starry Grass.

S alloy and such were just a little sweetener, which he didn’t care much about.

After pondering for a moment, Skylar said, “Alright, how about a hundred pieces of S alloy and A alloy?”

“Although A alloy isn’t currently useful, it’s still a rare alloy. You won’t lose out by having it, Alex.”

A surge of excitement ran through Alex’s heart.

A alloy, wasn’t that the special alloy needed for making combat robots?

Although it’s now circulating in the market, it’s in an awkward position of being seemingly useless.

However, considering the previous lesson with S alloy, some survivors kept A alloy as a precautionary measure.

Alex calmly said, “Alright then, since you insist on increasing the compensation, it will be a hundred pieces of S alloy and A alloy. After collecting enough Starry Grass, I will do my best to help the Legion of Glory resolve the mutated plant crisis as soon as possible!”

Skylar laughed heartily and shook Alex’s hand.

“Alex, we’ll rely on you to solve this crisis. Otherwise, the Legion of Glory might have to relocate in the future.”

Skylar’s words were not exaggerated.

The current situation of the Legion of Glory was actually not optimistic.

Even as one of the two major forces in City 25, they were under tremendous pressure.

The constant shrinking of their territory would only lead to increasingly scarce resources.

Developing new territories occupied by zombies would also consume a large amount of resources.

Regardless of advancing or retreating, the Legion of Glory was walking on thin ice.

A slight misstep could be taken advantage of by the Spectrum Squad.

If lucky, they might retain their strength and retreat from the East District.

If unlucky, they would be directly annexed by the Spectrum Squad.

Skylar’s greatest relief was that the Spectrum Squad and the Legion of Glory were both in the same predicament, and neither could do anything about the other.

Alex confidently said, “Don’t worry, Skylar. Since I’ve promised to help the Legion of Glory solve the problem of mutated plants, I will definitely do it.”

Although Alex always felt that Skylar seemed overly affectionate towards him.

But as the saying goes, as long as it’s something he promised, he would make sure to do it for Skylar.

Skylar was about to say something else when suddenly interrupted by Alex’s home assistant system.

The residential assistant alerted, “Respected master, unidentified survivors detected outside the main gate.”

Alex frowned.

Why was it so lively today?

He then accessed the surveillance.

Another unfamiliar person.

However, this person bore some resemblance to James.

Alex immediately had a guess in mind.

It was probably very close to the truth.

Skylar, upon seeing the newcomer, directly exclaimed the person’s identity.

“Avery, he’s here too?!”

Upon second thought, it was quite normal.

Alex was quite a catch, and the Spectrum Squad couldn’t possibly remain indifferent.

But did Avery not know that his brother James had already died at Alex’s hands?

Alex said, “Skylar, why don’t we go out together and meet this Avery?”

Skylar was already thinking along the same lines.

He wanted to see Avery’s reaction to the situation.

“Alright, let’s go together.”

Outside the villa gate, Avery, accompanied by his personal secretary, pressed the doorbell.

Ding dong.

“Coming, coming.”

Alex walked out.

Upon seeing Alex, Avery smiled from a distance and said, “I am Avery, captain of the Spectrum Squad, here to visit Mr. Alex…”

But then, he froze.

Because behind Alex, another burly man walked out.

This burly man, even if he turned into ashes, he would recognize.

After all, he was his lifelong enemy, Skylar!

“Skylar…”

Had he been outmaneuvered again?

Avery felt a bit annoyed.

He hadn’t expected himself to arrive so early, yet still be one step behind.

Skylar arrived even earlier!

Alex, speaking through the gate, said, “Captain Avery, a step late.”

Skylar also chuckled and said, “Avery, Alex has already agreed to join our Legion of Glory. You can give up on that hope!”

Avery sneered.

What lavish treatment could your Legion of Glory offer?

Just a bunch of muscleheads training all day, they wouldn’t know how to win hearts and minds.

Avery ignored Skylar’s words and continued, “Mr. Alex, the Spectrum Squad has always been eager to recruit talents like yourself. Your ability to eradicate mutated plants is truly admirable.”

“Here’s the deal, whatever reward the Legion of Glory offers, the Spectrum Squad will double it!”

Avery’s mouth curved into a smile.

The conditions he offered were undeniably generous.

It would be difficult for most people not to be tempted.
