Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: he never expected this outcome
 

Recently, there has been a person claiming to be the Sheriff, gaining considerable fame.

The chat channel was filled with discussions about this person called the Sheriff.

ID 45346: “Do you guys know? Recently, there’s a guy called the Sheriff, recruiting soldiers and expanding his influence.”

ID 34534: “Isn’t that nothing special? Didn’t Daniel and Benjamin both establish their own forces before?”

ID 45346: “You can tell your information isn’t up-to-date. Just got internet in the village? Benjamin’s force was wiped out by the Sheriff!”

ID 453536: “What? Didn’t Benjamin’s team have a dozen or so people? Wiped out? How is that possible?”

ID 646754: “I’ve heard about this too. It seems the Sheriff has quite a bit of resources. In the middle of the night, he and two or three people threw several Molotov cocktails and grenades into Benjamin’s villa. Benjamin and his crew were burnt alive.”

ID 355663: “Damn! That’s horrifying! So, is this Sheriff now aiming to expand his influence and dominate?”

ID 94785: “Naturally, isn’t that obvious? But I’ve heard the Sheriff’s place has good treatment, regardless of whether you have combat supplies or not, as long as you join, you can receive food and water.”

ID 346533: “Is that so good? What if I only have a fruit knife, will he still accept me?”

ID 234546: “Of course, I’ve personally seen a survivor with no resources join the Sheriff, and the Sheriff took him in.”

…

ID 12315: “Hello everyone, I am the Sheriff. I can assure everyone that as long as you join our big family, we are all one family, supporting each other, helping each other, surviving together in this apocalyptic world until the end, searching for the dawn of hope! Here are my coordinates [250, 857], I will sincerely await everyone here!!”

In the chat channel, other survivors discussed the Sheriff.

Unexpectedly, the Sheriff appeared in person and issued a call for talents.

This shocked many survivors.

After Benjamin was replaced by the Sheriff, Daniel was also very nervous.

After all, the Sheriff wasn’t too far from him.

Sooner or later, he would clash with the sheriff.

Daniel’s confidant was very worried that this day would come sooner rather than later, so he suggested that Daniel strike first.

Daniel sat in a genuine leather chair, swaying his glass of liquor.

He was contemplating.

The sheriff’s power was growing rapidly, and in just a few days, there was a faint trend of catching up with Daniel’s team.

If they didn’t go all out to take out the opponent early, it would truly be too late once the sheriff’s power grew stronger.

After weighing the strengths of both sides, Daniel finally made up his mind and agreed to his confidant’s suggestion, preparing to take action against the sheriff one night.

So, one night, Daniel’s men came out in force.

They lay in ambush at the sheriff’s stronghold.

Daniel, masked, waited for the opportune moment, waited until the sheriff sent some men out on patrol, then he signaled.

In the dark of night, a dozen or so men rushed in like a swarm.

Only to find the sheriff already sitting in the living room, drinking tea, smiling at them.

Clearly, he was prepared.

The sheriff was a middle-aged man, sporting a large crew cut and a stubble beard.

The years had left some marks on his face, adding a mature charm to his already handsome countenance.

Daniel looked at the sheriff’s calm demeanor and felt a pang in his heart, realizing he might have fallen into a trap.

Suddenly, a sharp pain from behind made Daniel unable to speak.

He grunted and quickly dodged forward.

Turning around, he found an assassin behind him, holding a sharp knife, with drops of Daniel’s blood dripping onto the ground.

Then, suddenly, several people from Daniel’s team turned and killed their unsuspecting comrades.

Before Daniel could grasp the situation, a large number of his own men fell.

Only a few traitors, holding knives, remained behind the sheriff.

Daniel muttered to himself, “It’s impossible, teammates can’t directly harm each other, how did you do it?”

The confidant who had proposed the night attack on the sheriff stood behind the sheriff at this time.

He heard Daniel’s question and stepped forward.

With a smile, he said, “Daniel, indeed teammates cannot harm each other, but what if they are not teammates?”

The traitors took off their masks, revealing faces unfamiliar to Daniel.

Only then did Daniel realize that at some point, his men had been replaced by moles for the sheriff.

Bleeding heavily, Daniel, before dying, pointed accusingly at his treacherous confidant, cursing viciously, “You fickle scoundrel, you will die a miserable death!!”

With a thud, he fell, dying with hatred.

Daniel’s confidant, seeing him dead, wasted no time. He ran to Daniel’s side, took out all the supplies, and with a smirk, presented them to the sheriff.

“Sheriff, fortunately, everything is intact. These are all of Daniel’s belongings, please inspect them!”

The sheriff accepted all of Daniel’s belongings with a nod.

After the sheriff took possession of the supplies, the confidant rubbed his hands and said, “Sheriff, um, Daniel is also dead now. You see, can we proceed as you promised me before, with those supplies… However, now I am also your man, sheriff. I want to join you, with utmost loyalty!”

The sheriff smiled faintly.

To the bewildered gaze of the traitors, a knife plunged into his chest.

He thought he would rise to greatness alongside the sheriff.

But he never expected this outcome.

He looked at the sheriff in disbelief, wanting to speak, but blood quickly surged from his mouth, blocking his words.

The sheriff looked at the body lying in front of him indifferently and said, “I don’t like traitors. If you can betray Daniel today, you can betray me tomorrow. So, your death is the best choice.”

“Clean up the bodies in the yard and feed them to the zombies.”

After instructing his men to handle the battlefield, the sheriff no longer looked at the dead bodies of Daniel and others, walking into the yard.

The next day, news of the sheriff wiping out Daniel’s faction spread.

Once again, it shocked many survivors.

To consecutively wipe out two opposing factions, this sheriff was different from the usual.

Even Alex was somewhat surprised.

He had some contact with Daniel and Benjamin.

Judging from their ability to bring out so many supplies for bidding, their strength was still considerable.

It was unexpected that they were wiped out by the sheriff so quickly.

Alex was unaware of what had happened, assuming that the sheriff had powerful combat weapons, maybe even firearms.

Otherwise, how could he have eliminated Daniel and Benjamin so swiftly?

As Alex pondered these questions, there was a private message request.

Opening it, he saw a somewhat familiar ID number.

ID Number 12315: “10086, I’m the sheriff.”

Alex frowned.

Why was this sheriff suddenly reaching out?

Now the sheriff seemed like a disaster, and Alex didn’t want to get involved with him.
