Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Ambush
After returning to the Legion of Glory, Skylar immediately convened a meeting with his elite subordinates, starting to formulate a series of operational plans.

The meeting lasted until late at night before finally concluding.

Upon returning to his bedroom, Ryan immediately opened the chat window of the system and contacted Avery.

Avery, who was awakened from his midnight sleep, was about to be annoyed.

Upon seeing Ryan’s call request, he instantly became alert.

A call at this time surely meant there was extremely urgent intelligence.

“What’s going on?” Avery asked.

Ryan got straight to the point, saying, “That Skylar guy is planning to attack Spectrum Squad this Saturday. He even managed to get Alex to join as reinforcements, apparently promising to give him eighty percent of the spoils after we’re taken down!”

Avery sneered.

“Looks like they really do see my Spectrum Squad as just another ordinary team, huh?”

Ryan said solemnly, “It seems our plan needs to be accelerated.”

After some thought, Avery said, “We still need some time to prepare. Let’s keep it on Friday, but we must act swiftly.”

“As for Alex, I’ll have someone bring out the big guns to deal with him.”

Ryan nodded.

“We have no other choice.”

All they could do now was to prepare as quickly as possible and catch the Legion of Glory off guard.

Time flew by quickly, and before they knew it, it was the day Ryan and Avery had chosen, Friday.

On the previous night, Avery and Ryan rehearsed the plan for the next day.

“Ryan, remember tomorrow, as soon as you successfully act within the Legion of Glory, immediately send me a message. Then we’ll coordinate internally and externally to directly take down the Legion of Glory,” Avery said.

Ryan pondered for a moment before saying, “I understand. If there are any changes, I hope Spectrum Squad can still proceed with the plan.”

Avery frowned.

If Ryan couldn’t successfully assassinate Skylar as originally planned, then Spectrum Squad wouldn’t have a reason to act.

This thankless task would undoubtedly cost Spectrum Squad a considerable loss of manpower and resources.

“Ryan, our time is running out. If Skylar doesn’t die, it won’t be easy for Spectrum Squad to attack your Legion of Glory.”

Ryan said lightly, “Captain Avery, I’ve thought about it a lot. Spectrum Squad needs to cooperate with me. If I can successfully assassinate Skylar, that’s great. But if there isn’t a suitable opportunity, I hope Spectrum Squad’s attack can create a distraction for me to strike.”

Avery began to feel conflicted.

Tomorrow would be the crucial battle.

Once Skylar was eliminated, Avery would have no rivals in the East District.

Alex wouldn’t have a chance to oppose him either.

Because he would be facing the combined forces of Spectrum Squad and the Legion of Glory.

But if he agreed to Ryan’s suggestion and something unexpected happened, Spectrum Squad would be in a difficult situation.

“I… let me think about it.”

Ryan sounded a bit impatient.

“There’s no time to think!”

“What’s Captain Avery worried about? Worried about the plan failing? There’s no need to worry about that. You’ve seen the Legion of Glory’s defensive layout. Even if my assassination fails, Spectrum Squad can still easily break through their defenses!”

“This is the rarest opportunity presented to us! How much longer does Captain Avery want to wait?”

Finally, Avery made up his mind and said, “Then let’s go with Vice Captain Ryan’s suggestion. Tomorrow, even if Vice Captain Ryan doesn’t send the signal, we’ll launch the attack.”

Ryan was delighted.

“Then it’s settled.”

The reason Ryan said this was because he didn’t have much confidence in successfully assassinating Skylar.

If it wasn’t a sure thing, Ryan didn’t want to expose himself easily.

Once exposed, he would surely have no way out.

They hung up the call without further discussion.

Everything was prepared, just waiting for the right time.

The next morning.

The sun rose as usual.

Alex, Mia, and Olivia woke up early.

Tomorrow was the day of the battle, and Alex needed to discuss the details with Skylar.

Although Alex felt that Mia and Olivia didn’t need to wake up early with him, the two insisted.

They even made sure Alex got enough rest and sleep early.

Yesterday before going to bed, when Alex wanted to do something to the two of them, Mia and Olivia formed an alliance and refused righteously, pushing Alex directly to the next bedroom to rest.

In the words of the two of them, it was to let him recharge his batteries.

This battle was dangerous, surpassing tenfold or a hundredfold compared to the past.

Although Alex wasn’t overly worried, Mia and Olivia, as Alex’s companions, were still very nervous.

“Alex, is the ammunition for the firearms fully loaded?”

“Do we really not need Twenty-Two and Puff Tiger to accompany us to the Legion of Glory?”

Mia and Olivia chattered incessantly, resembling a pair of wives nagging at their husband.

Alex hugged the two women and said, “Don’t worry so much, it’s just a trip. As for Twenty-Two and Puff Tiger, their task is to protect you two, nothing else.”

Then, he turned to Twenty-Two and Puff Tiger and said, “You two must be fully alert. It’s highly possible that members of Spectrum Squad will launch an attack on our villa. You must protect Mia and Olivia.”

“Yes, master.”

“Roar…”

Twenty-Two and Puff Tiger responded in unison.

Mia pursed her lips and said, “Then Olivia and I will wait for your good news at home…”

Olivia didn’t say anything, she just hugged Alex tighter.

“Well, you two just wait for me at home, no need to worry too much.”

“Alright.”

Alex released Mia and Olivia.

“I reckon the Legion of Glory’s car is ready to pick me up.”

Ding dong.

Alex laughed heartily, “I’ll head out first.”

The Legion of Glory’s car sent to pick up Alex had arrived at the doorstep, ringing the doorbell.

At this moment, the driver stood respectfully by the car, waiting.

Mia and Olivia followed Alex out of the house.

“We’ll see you off.”

The three of them walked out together.

As they reached the courtyard, just as Alex had opened the gate, the Legion of Glory soldiers and the car in front of them suddenly exploded.

Boom! RPG!

Alex immediately instructed Mia and Olivia to return to the house, while he, protected by an energy shield, looked towards the nearby area.

Ambush!
