Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 345

Chapter 345: Their fate was of their own making
Fortunately, Alex’s subsequent words alleviated his worries.

“The information you provided is accurate. Rest assured, I won’t treat you poorly. Go back for now, and let me know immediately if there are any other developments.”

“You refused to participate in the conspiracy, so they will surely be wary of you.”

“But that’s fine. Just keep your subordinates in check and avoid getting involved with their schemes.”

“Understood?”

Alan, upon hearing this, was overjoyed.

He quickly replied, “I understand, my lord! As long as you command, Alan will go through fire and water without hesitation!”

Alex waved his hand.

“Alright, alright. You can go now.”

…

Seeing Alex’s displeased expression, Mia and Olivia immediately guessed that something bad had happened.

“Alex, what’s going on?”

Alex shook his head.

“It’s nothing serious. Everything is under my control.”

“They’re just a bunch of clowns. When the time is right, we’ll catch them all in one sweep!”

Alex then informed the two women about Juan and the others’ conspiracy.

Instantly, Mia and Olivia were furious.

…

As time passed and several days went by, on the surface, Dawn City continued to operate smoothly and orderly, seemingly calm.

Everyone was performing their duties, contributing to the construction of Dawn City.

Some were recovering from injuries caused by snow beasts, while others were training, practicing marksmanship or their abilities.

…

However, beneath this calm surface, many were unaware of the undercurrents.

A major storm was about to brew.

“Stay alert and wait for the right moment. Don’t foolishly support this side or that side. Let’s observe the situation first and avoid acting impulsively!”

“Hold off for now and wait for further developments!”

“We are just low-level individuals. Honestly, these matters are handled by the big shots. Regardless of who wins or loses, we will end up in the same place. The big shots are busy choosing sides, but we shouldn’t!”

Some people were talking in secret.

They sensed that something was off recently.

Those with power and previously held positions of some status were often seen gathering and discussing something.

It was clear that someone was plotting.

Although many, including ordinary survivors, were willing to join and follow them in their cause, most were still in a wait-and-see mode.

Even though they had once been part of the major alliances and served under certain individuals, reason told them not to choose sides too hastily.

They also didn’t want to get involved.

If things went wrong, their lives would be at risk.

Meanwhile, at the Lord’s Mansion.

Alan from the Shadow Alliance came to report.

“Alex, as far as I know, some of the middle and senior ranks from the three major alliances have already joined Juan’s rebellion.”

“Some others are still in a wait-and-see state and haven’t made a clear stance. They probably have their doubts and don’t fully trust Juan and the others.”

“On the other hand, the vast majority of ordinary survivors are not inclined to follow Juan and his group.”

Alex sneered upon hearing this.

“Good!”

“Rebelling against me? They will suffer a terrible fate!”

“If I’m not mistaken, they should be starting their actions soon!”

Alan nodded.

“That seems likely.”

Alan hesitated and asked, “Alex, if Juan and his group take action, what should we do? This time, the number of people following them might not be small. If we kill them all, won’t it be too…”

As soon as these words left Alan’s mouth, he felt a sense of foreboding.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered the various rumors about Alex.

Logically, as one of Alex’s subordinates, he should simply follow Alex’s orders.

However, his question seemed to be instructing Alex on what to do?

Realizing this, Alan’s face turned slightly pale.

If Alex remained indifferent, he might save his own skin.

But if Alex held a grudge, he would undoubtedly be doomed!

Fortunately, Alex did not make things difficult for him.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Just focus on your own tasks.”

Alex snorted coldly.

“Understood!”

Alan nodded repeatedly, anxious and fearful.

He was relieved but also extremely apprehensive.

Fortunately…

After leaving the Lord’s Mansion, Alan couldn’t help but slap himself twice.

The slaps were quite forceful.

“I almost angered Alex with my big mouth! I need to be more careful next time, and make sure such things don’t happen again!”

Alan was still feeling quite uneasy.

Luckily, Alex hadn’t held it against him.

Once he calmed down, Alan began to reflect on Alex’s words.

Unconsciously, he started to feel a chill down his spine.

“It seems Alex intends to purge all those with ulterior motives!”

“Juan and the other leaders probably never imagined that their every move was already exposed to Alex!”

“Moreover, Alex is determined and unshakable this time, and he’s going to thoroughly clean up Dawn City.”

“It won’t be long before Dawn City is in a storm of blood and chaos!”

“I’m lucky I had foresight and showed my loyalty to Alex in time. Otherwise, I’d be in danger too!”

Alan felt a deep sense of relief.

Although he felt sympathy for the Shadow Alliance leader and the high-ranking members who joined the rebellion, it was only sympathy.

Their fate was of their own making.

Being suppressed by Alex was entirely their own fault!

“It’s critical now. My subordinates are also getting restless and want to join in. I must stop them; otherwise, if Alex finds out, I don’t know what he’ll think of me!”

Alan frowned as he thought about his subordinates.

With the recent undercurrents, a few of his men had been tempted by the rebels and were getting restless.

If he hadn’t been strict, some might have already joined the rebellion.

The most dangerous moment was approaching, and he had to ensure none of his people were involved.

Even at a crucial moment, he needed to step up and assist Alex in dealing with and capturing the rebels.

…

In contemplation, Alan returned to his own base.

He called for his subordinates.

These were individuals who had previously held positions such as captains, vice-captains, and leaders.

As expected, when they gathered, one person immediately spoke up.

“Sir, why aren’t we joining the action with the leaders? I’ve heard this operation is a joint effort of the three major alliances. If we don’t show our stance, might we be held accountable or targeted afterward?”

“Yeah, many people are participating this time, and the scale is enormous. Are we just going to watch from the sidelines and do nothing?”

“Sir, have you considered this?”
