Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Who dares to do such a thing
Alex, at this moment, had a somewhat peculiar expression.

Judging from Avery’s expression, it seemed he was still unaware that his brother had died.

And furthermore, that he had died at Alex’s hands.

If Avery had known about his brother’s death, he wouldn’t be able to maintain such an expression.

Even if he pretended, his inner hatred wouldn’t be completely hidden.

However, Alex didn’t intend to say much and simply declined.

“Captain Avery, I’m not a double-dealer. Since I’ve agreed to join Captain Skylar’s Legion of Glory, I won’t go back on my word.”

Avery frowned.

At present, only Alex could eradicate the mutated plants.

Unless there was absolutely no hope, Avery didn’t want to give up such a recruiting opportunity.

“Mr. Alex, is there really no chance for the Spectrum Squad?”

Alex shook his head.

“Alright, then I’ll leave for now. However, the door of the Spectrum Squad is always open to Mr. Alex. We welcome Mr. Alex to change his mind! Farewell!”

Avery glanced at Skylar, snorted coldly, and then got into his car and left.

Suddenly, Skylar asked, “Alex, what do you think Avery’s reaction would be if he knew James died at your hands?”

Alex shrugged.

“Who knows? I’m not him.”

Avery, sitting in the car, had already formed another plan in his mind.

Since Alex had joined the Legion of Glory, he was now considered an enemy.

Heh.

Since he was now an enemy, he should be dealt with as such.

Alex could eradicate mutated plants, perhaps he had some special potions.

Although the Spectrum Squad couldn’t recruit Alex, they could still seize the potion capable of eradicating mutated plants from him.

Beep beep beep!

Avery’s thoughts were interrupted by an incoming call.

For some reason, he had been feeling a bit uneasy all day.

Things weren’t going smoothly, perhaps it wasn’t a good day to go out.

“Hello, what’s the matter?” Avery said indifferently.

The voice on the other end was trembling.

“Ca-Captain, James Young Master is dead!”

Upon hearing this news, Avery’s fingers turned icy cold, and all the strength seemed to drain from his body in an instant.

Childhood memories flashed before Avery’s mind like a movie.

His little brother, two or three years younger, always causing trouble since he was young.

As the older brother, Avery was always the one dealing with his messes.

They say an elder brother is like a father.

Their parents were busy with their business, although their lives were affluent, they never really disciplined their sons.

This resulted in James being a typical spoiled brat from a young age.

While Avery was the extreme opposite of a rich kid.

He excelled in everything he did, often praised by others.

However, this didn’t affect their brotherly bond.

Avery was very good to his younger brother, so much so that he even took the blame for him.

When James caused trouble outside, and their parents held Avery accountable, Avery would take the fall.

After the apocalypse, Avery quickly established himself with his thunderous methods and grew stronger.

He still indulged his brother’s antics.

He was well aware of his brother’s misdeeds.

But he turned a blind eye to them.

Now, he’s dead?

Don’t tell me it’s my brother

Who dares to do such a thing!

“Captain, Captain?”

On the other end of the call, a subordinate of the Spectrum Squad asked nervously.

Their captain remained silent upon hearing the news, could he have passed out?

Avery clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white and even slightly blue.

He suppressed his rage and grief, and asked slowly, word by word, “Who killed my brother?!”

Avery couldn’t believe that James got himself killed.

It must be someone else who killed him.

He had warned him countless times not to venture into the zombie area to seek death.

James had always been obedient about this.

That’s why James had never left the East City District initially; he had waited for Alex to arrive.

Moreover, James had elite members of the Spectrum Squad protecting him, along with some advanced combat supplies specially provided by Avery.

In the East City District, James was absolutely safe.

Who could it be?

The Legion of Glory?

Impossible!   If it were the Legion of Glory, he would have had an insider there, and they wouldn’t have acted without informing him.

And if it were indeed the Legion of Glory’s doing, his brother wouldn’t have died so quietly.

There wasn’t even any communication with him.

His subordinates sensed the cold tone of their captain, realizing his anger must have reached its peak, so they didn’t dare delay and quickly reported, “Captain, Young Master was found on Central Street.”

“Although we couldn’t find any surveillance footage from the Legion of Glory, we questioned the street vendors. Young Master got into a fight with a group of outsiders for some unknown reason.”

“Young Master James fired first, then he was… he was killed by the outsiders…”

Avery closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Certainly, this wasn’t honorable.

In fact, it was his trouble-making brother who initiated the violence.

Avery also knew his brother’s temperament well, so he wasn’t surprised at all.

But his brother was dead.

As his older brother, he had to make those survivors pay!

In the East City District, when Avery spoke, the whole city trembled.

His brother was dead, he didn’t care about any reasoning.

Now, those outsider survivors must die!

After calming down, Avery continued, “What information do we have on those outsider survivors?”

Anyone capable of killing Young Master James and all his elite guards couldn’t be ordinary.

Following this lead shouldn’t be difficult.

“We have some leads already; we’ll find out soon.”

Avery sternly ordered, “Find out! Find out now, I want answers today! If I don’t get a specific list today, heads will roll!”

Avery disconnected the call directly, turned his head to the side, and remained silent.

The driver and personal secretary in the car didn’t dare speak either.

The inside of the carriage was quiet, only the sound of the three people breathing could be heard.

It wasn’t until they reached the Spectrum Squad’s headquarters that the silence was broken by the personal secretary.

“Captain, we’re home.”

Avery nodded.

Without waiting for the driver to open the door for him, he opened it himself and got out of the car, heading straight back to his room.

He didn’t even go to the conference room for the morning meeting with the senior executives.

The personal secretary went to the conference room instead of Avery and briefly explained the situation.

Members of the Spectrum Squad sighed inwardly.

Not for the death of James, the playboy son, but for themselves.

They knew very well how much their captain cherished his only brother.

Now that James was dead, they couldn’t avoid turning the East City District upside down to find the murderer.

In the end, it would be them, working tirelessly, who would suffer the most.

A slight mistake might even lead to punishment.
