Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 157

Chapter 157: we’ve found the person
Meanwhile, at Alex’s mansion, Skylar received a message.

Upon reading it, he furrowed his brow slightly.

Then he looked up at Alex and said, “Alex, you need to be prepared.”

“According to the information provided by my informant, Avery has already learned about James’s death.”

“Although they haven’t traced it back to you yet, it won’t be long.”

Alex shrugged nonchalantly, unconcerned.

“Let him come. It took them days to realize his brother’s dead, and they still haven’t found the killer. My impression of the Spectrum Squad seems to have dropped a notch.”

Skylar pondered for a moment, unsure of what to say.

It seemed that Alex did indeed have the power to support his confidence.

However, he kindly offered a reminder.

“Alex, although you’re powerful, you still need to be careful. After all, we’ve been dealing with the Spectrum Squad for so long, but we still haven’t figured out how many aces they have up their sleeves.”

The fact that the Spectrum Squad has endured till now owes much to Avery.

Every time they faced a crisis, Avery always pulled out one advanced item after another to resolve it, making them unpredictable.

Alex smiled.

Skylar was quite considerate, even going out of his way to remind him to be cautious.

“Well, thank you for the reminder.”

Skylar nodded, then stood up.

“Alright then. Alex, sorry for taking up so much of your time. Legion of Glory also has many matters to attend to; I’ll head back now.”

Alex stood up and escorted Skylar to the door.

“Since you’re busy, I won’t keep you. Next time you’re free, come over for tea.”

Skylar gestured for Jason to go start the car.

Then, standing at the villa’s door, he said to Alex, “Alex, you’re straightforward. Rest assured, Legion of Glory will always stand with you, even if you leave in the future.”

Alex gave a slight smile.

“Alright, Skylar.”

Jason had already driven up to the villa’s gate, opened the rear door, and waited for Skylar.

Skylar patted Alex’s shoulder.

“Okay, Alex, I’ll head back now.”

Then, after watching Skylar leave, Alex returned inside.

“Number 22.”

Alex called for the combat robot.

Number 22 stepped forward.

“What’s your command, my master?”

Alex said, “Scan me, Mia, and Olivia’s bodies, see if there’s anything unusual.”

“Yes, master.”

Number 22’s eyes flashed with blue light as it scanned Alex and the other two.

“What’s going on, Alex?”

Mia asked, puzzled.

Number 22 reported, “Master, no abnormalities detected.”

Alex nodded.

It was only then that he explained to the confused Mia and Olivia, “It’s better to be safe than sorry, just a precautionary measure.”

Only now did Alex truly ease up on Skylar.

It seemed that the Legion of Glory’s captain was genuinely interested in cooperating with him, without any ulterior motives.

Then he addressed the two again, “Be extra careful when you’re out lately. Spectrum Squad will probably figure out it was us who killed James soon.”

Now that Mia and Olivia’s strength was sufficient for self-preservation, Alex wouldn’t keep them confined to the house as he used to.

The hustle and bustle of the East City District could bring back some sense of normalcy.

Keeping Mia and Olivia cooped up at home all the time would be unfair to them.

Mia and Olivia nodded.

“We understand. We’ll try to minimize our outings, and when we do go out, we’ll be cautious.”

Alex lovingly ruffled the heads of the two.

Their maturity made him feel extremely relieved.

…

“Brother!”

Avery woke up from his sleep.

When he woke up, he was drenched in sweat.

This was unknown how many times he had dreamt of James.

In the dream, James was covered in blood and walked up to Avery, saying pitifully, “Brother, I died so miserably…”

Avery tried to grab James but couldn’t hold onto him.

He could only watch his brother walk away.

As he chased after him, he fell into an abyss.

Then, he was startled awake again.

Back and forth, it was always this dream.

Now it was noon, but Avery felt chilled to the bone.

Knock knock.

“Come in!”

Avery’s room door was knocked.

At this time, only his personal secretary dared to disturb him.

After obtaining permission, the secretary opened the door.

Approaching Avery, he said, “Captain, we’ve found the person.”

That person.

Naturally, it was the person who killed James.

Avery’s gaze turned cold as he asked, “Who is it?”

The personal secretary took out a photo from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Avery, saying, “Captain, once you see this, you’ll know.”

Avery glanced at it and said directly, “Where did this photo come from? Can you guarantee its authenticity?”

The personal secretary nodded affirmatively.

“Captain, this photo was taken by a vendor at the scene of the incident. It’s definitely genuine.”

Avery laughed heartily, crushing the photo underfoot.

It was a clear photo of Alex, Mia, and Olivia leaving the scene.

“Ridiculous! The person who killed my blood relative is right under my nose, and I didn’t even know, still lowering myself to recruit him!”

Avery cursed angrily, veins bulging on his forehead.

“Go! Send someone to kill Alex!”

“Yes.”

The personal secretary responded and left the room to convey the captain’s orders.

Avery’s eyes were bloodshot. After the personal secretary left, he couldn’t hold back his tears any longer. He cried to himself, “Brother, wait for me. Brother, I will definitely kill Alex to avenge you!”

The members of the Spectrum Squad soon received the orders and began to formulate plans against Alex and the others.

It wasn’t until halfway through the planning discussion that someone suddenly thought of something and spoke up, “Um, what if Alex is hiding in the mansion all along? What do we do then?”

The group fell silent, looking slightly embarrassed.

Clearly, they hadn’t thought about this problem before.

Normally, the Spectrum Squad was always unstoppable in whatever they did.

But now, everywhere was filled with extremely troublesome mutated plants.

Especially in the mansion area where Alex was.

If Alex stayed inside, there was no way to approach him with a large group.

Otherwise, without Alex needing to do anything, the mutated plants would become Alex’s free bodyguards and keep them out.

Damn it, why didn’t they think of this earlier?

The plan was scrapped entirely!
