Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Mutant Plants Truly Eliminated
Skylar was feeling somewhat annoyed too.

He didn’t know what had gotten into Ryan, always having issues with Alex.

At this moment, Alex continued to address Ryan, saying, “Alright! It’s settled then, Ryan, don’t go back on your word.”

Ryan snorted coldly.

“Of course not.”

“Skylar, lead the way, let’s go clear out the mutant plants right now.”

Alex restrained his smile.

Skylar nodded and said, “Alex, follow me.”

The two immediately headed towards the nearest area of mutant plants within the Legion of Glory.

Ryan followed behind, along with a group of Legion of Glory soldiers.

Skylar actually wanted to see if Alex truly had what it takes.

But he still cursed Ryan inwardly, finding his behavior truly out of line.

Completely uncalled for.

“We’re here.”

Alex and the others stopped in their tracks.

By now, they had entered an area of the Legion of Glory overrun by mutant plants, leaving the Legion of Glory helpless.

Alex looked at the mutant plants, which had grown into massive entities, already absorbing nutrients, and couldn’t help but laugh.

The fact that mutant plants could grow so robustly indicated how good the Legion of Glory’s rations were.

Skylar said, “Alex, this is the nearest mutant plant to our Legion of Glory headquarters, and there are many others in different strongholds.”

“Do you feel confident?”

This wasn’t the most powerful mutant plant under the jurisdiction of the Legion of Glory, but it definitely ranked high.

If Alex could handle it, then Skylar could rest easy.

This meant that most of the mutant plants in the Legion of Glory could be eradicated.

As for the larger mutant plants, even if Alex couldn’t deal with them, it wouldn’t affect the overall situation.

Alex shrugged and put on his combat gear.

“No problem.”

Then, he took out a special herbicide from his backpack, held it in his hand, and walked towards the roots of the mutant plants.

Alex moved quietly to avoid causing too much disturbance.

But it was impossible.

Mutant plants didn’t rely on sound but sensed heat sources.

Alex was already exposed as he approached.

The mutant plants began to stir, the vines clinging to the walls moving, trying to block Alex outside.

Alex jumped nimbly.

He had already figured out how to deal with mutant plants.

These mutant plants were always somewhere between smart and dumb.

Just running along the direction of the vines, most of the time, they couldn’t react in time.

Alex smoothly avoided the vines’ obstruction and entered the house dominated by the mutant plants.

Ryan watched as Alex gradually disappeared from sight and walked over to Skylar.

“Captain, I really don’t trust this Alex!”

Skylar glanced at him and said lightly, “Whether he’s reliable or not, we’ll see if he can eliminate the mutant plants soon enough.”

“Ryan, your actions today were too reckless.”

Ryan was very indignant.

“I, I’m doing it for the Legion of Glory!”

Skylar snorted coldly, saying, “If I didn’t know you were doing it for the Legion of Glory, offending Alex like this, I would have killed you straight away!”

Ryan gritted his teeth and dared not speak again.

During the wait, the Legion of Glory soldiers standing outside were whispering to each other.

“Do you guys think this Alex can really clear out the mutant plants? I’m not feeling very confident about it! I heard from the vice captain that the captain paid Alex a hefty sum to clear the plants, and the reward has already been given!”

“Is that so? Honestly, I’m not too optimistic about this Alex. After all, it’s all hearsay, none of us have seen him actually eliminate mutant plants.”

“But Alex is so famous in City 22, and didn’t someone post pictures of withered mutant plants before? I feel like Alex must have some skills, otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to agree to the captain’s offer!”

“Yeah, that’s right, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to deceive us, the Legion of Glory, risking their lives, right?”

“But I still feel doubtful. The mutant plants in our Legion of Glory are too massive; I haven’t seen anything like them elsewhere.”

“Hey, no matter what we say, it’s all fake, we have to wait for the final outcome.”

“He’s been in there for a while now, and there’s still no movement, could he have… died?”

Skylar heard the soldiers’ whispered discussions beside him and frowned slightly.

Alex had been inside for quite some time now, several minutes had passed without any activity or sounds of fighting.

Could he have really misjudged him?

But based on the combat power Alex had displayed, he shouldn’t be someone who would deceive them like this.

There was simply no need for it.

Ryan shook his head and laughed.

“Captain, I told you so, but you didn’t believe me.”

Just when everyone thought Alex had failed, a sudden change occurred.

“What the hell!”

“What’s going on, the mutant plants are withering!”

“It worked, it actually worked?!”

“I’m amazed, truly amazed!”

In the eyes of the Legion of Glory, the mutant plants suddenly turned yellow on the surface, emitting a somewhat rotten smell, then the vines fell weakly to the ground.

It was Alex! He actually managed to clear out the mutant plants!

The soldiers of the Legion of Glory were dumbfounded.

They hadn’t expected the mutant plants, which had left them helpless, to directly collapse before them.

Skylar had a big smile on his face, feeling ecstatic inside.

The resources spent were not in vain!

More importantly, he had formed a friendship with Alex.

That was more important than anything else.

What did it matter to give Alex more Starry Grass and resources?

Ryan looked at the vines on the ground, his face filled with disbelief.

“I can’t believe… he actually managed to eliminate the mutant plants, this is simply unbelievable…”

At this moment, Alex walked out of the house and approached Skylar.

“Skylar, I’m sorry, the mutant plants were a bit tricky just now, took some time.”

Skylar grabbed Alex’s hand and shook it vigorously, saying happily, “No no no, Alex, don’t say that! It’s my fault, I should have let some Legion of Glory soldiers go in with you!”

“Thank you, thank you for helping us clear out the mutant plants, Legion of Glory.”

Alex smiled and shook his head.

“When you take someone’s money, you naturally have to do the job well. I value honesty.”

“So, onto the next place?” Skylar asked eagerly.

Alex nodded.

“It’s possible, but…”

Skylar quickly asked, “But what?”

Alex had any requests, as long as the Legion of Glory could fulfill them, he would do his best to satisfy them.

Alex looked at Ryan, then at Skylar, smiled and said nothing.
