Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Without my consent, can you leave
“No, why do I feel like there are fewer people?”

At this moment, Walter’s trusted subordinate and the captain of the destroyer, Austin,

while counting the number of people, suddenly felt that fewer people had returned.

“Everyone, report in!”

“One!”

“Two!”

“Three!”

…

“Ninety-three!”

“What? Only ninety-three have returned?”

Austin furrowed his brow, feeling something was very wrong!

They had dispatched a total of one hundred and thirty soldiers!

And only ninety-three had returned?

Where are the others?

In an instant, Austin felt a chill run down his spine!

“Where are the others? Your comrades have disappeared into the vast ocean, and none of you noticed anything unusual?”

Austin seemed to envision Walter’s furious expression.

The soldiers looked at each other.

If Austin hadn’t mentioned it, they really hadn’t noticed anything wrong.

Someone cautiously replied, “Sir, the area we were searching is vast, so we were spread out widely. It was difficult to keep track of each other. We didn’t notice anything unusual.”

Upon hearing this, Austin’s expression grew even more grim.

How did the others disappear?

Were they attacked by sea monsters?

Or drowned?

Or assassinated by the crew of the mysterious warship?

The first two reasons didn’t quite make sense.

Only the last one was logical and highly probable!

Austin took a deep breath.

Finally, with trembling courage, he reported this news.

As expected, just as he had anticipated, the five controllers were instantly furious!

Their faces contorted with rage, as if they wanted to devour someone!

“You bastards!”

Walter’s eyes were bloodshot.

At this moment, he was in deep anguish.

Simultaneously, he was consumed with rage.

“Very well, Alex, oh Alex, it seems I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve!”

“But, wait for it. One day, I will sink your Dawn!”

“And mysterious warship, you wait too! One day, I will destroy you, and every crew member aboard will be hanged!”

Walter gritted his teeth.

Then, very reluctantly, he ordered the remaining four warships to retreat.

“The remaining four warships, stay vigilant and guard against attacks from the mysterious warship!”

“We’re heading back!”

After the orders were given, the meeting room fell into silence.

The five controllers remained silent.

Especially the controller of the Mighty Ark, whose face was so dark it could have dripped water.

None of them had anticipated such an outcome.

Before coming here, they had been confident they could easily capture the Dawn.

Soon, their fleet would dominate the seas.

Becoming the first rulers of the oceanic era.

Enjoying endless glory and prestige.

However, reality had brutally slapped them in the face!

Shortly after setting out, they had been taught a harsh lesson by a mysterious warship.

Not only had they suffered heavy losses, but now they were forced to flee!

It was extremely embarrassing.

However, misfortune never comes singly!

Just then, Austin returned to the meeting room once more:

“Our two helicopters have been shot down!”

Austin’s face was grim, his voice hoarse as he spoke.

The losses were devastating!

First, a battleship had been sunk, followed by a large number of soldiers being silently killed by the enemy.

And now, even their helicopters had been destroyed on their way back!

To make matters worse, they were powerless!

They couldn’t even find where the enemy was!

They were utterly incapable of retaliation!

This frustration was almost driving them insane!

“Our helicopters, upon their return, were near our destroyer when they were hit by rocket fire. Both were destroyed, and all four soldiers aboard the aircraft perished!”

Austin’s voice was raspy, trembling as he spoke.

…

Upon hearing this, the five controllers turned pale with anger, their lips quivering.

Simultaneously, a strong sense of helplessness filled them with despair.

Walter took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Then, with a trembling voice, he said, “All ships, retreat!”

“The mysterious warship, we cannot provoke it. Can’t we just hide?”

“As long as our foundation remains, there will be opportunities to turn the tide!”

“One day, we will uncover their identity and seek revenge!”

“The mysterious warship? Dawn?”

“Heh, just wait! I swear this vengeance will be repaid!”

…

Undoubtedly, for all members of the United Fleet, this day was extremely dark.

They had never experienced such a crushing defeat.

Their anger had already reached an extreme point.

If the enemy had defeated them on the battlefield, they would have had nothing to say.

After all, the enemy was indeed powerful.

But this time, their opponent wasn’t playing by the rules at all.

They were just sneaking around and launching surprise attacks.

And they were completely powerless against them!

It was truly maddening!

…

Meanwhile, aboard the Invincible Ship, it was a different scene altogether.

Cheers filled the air!

Alex looked satisfied at the prisoners on the Invincible Ship and said, “We’ve captured over a hundred prisoners. Well done, Twenty-Two and your team, you’ve not disappointed me!”

The combat robots had two advantages that survivors couldn’t match.

One was their teamwork ability.

Individually, they might not match survivors with levels reaching thirty or forty.

But in group battles, the combat robots could perfectly coordinate with each other, greatly enhancing their strength.

Dealing with survivors was easy for them.

The second advantage was that as long as they had sufficient energy, they wouldn’t feel fatigue or pain.

They maintained peak combat effectiveness at all times.

This was something ordinary humans couldn’t compete with.

It was these qualities that had enabled them to successfully ambush and capture many survivors not long ago through infiltration.

“Thank you for your praise, Master!”

Twenty-Two responded respectfully, mimicking the salute of other survivors towards Alex.

Alex couldn’t help but find it amusing.

“It’s only natural! You’ve done well, and you haven’t let me down!”

Afterward, Alex called Nathan over and instructed him to manage the prisoners to prevent any trouble.

At this moment, he noticed that the United Fleet was planning to retreat.

Alex chuckled coldly.

“Retreat? You think you can come and go as you please? Who allowed that? How ridiculous!”

“Without my consent, can you leave?”

“If you dare to lay hands on me, then you should be prepared to face the consequences. None of you are leaving!”

Alex chuckled coldly.
