Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: The Encounter of Two Women Spells Disaster
Alex watched as the Wolf Gang’s stronghold gradually turned into charred ruins, then without further delay, he brought out the car.

After starting the car, he called for Olivia to get in.

“Olivia, our villa, where our shelter is located, is quite far from here. If you’re tired, you can rest in the car, and I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”

Olivia shook her head.

“Don’t worry, I’ve been dizzy all day, where could I possibly sleep? While you drive, I’ll keep you company and we can catch up on what you’ve been up to these past two years.”

Alex chuckled.

“All right, it’s been two years since we last saw each other, it’s time to catch up. Buckle up, and let’s chat while we drive.”

Alex smoothly drove Olivia back. The two chatted and laughed as they headed towards the villa area.

It was Olivia’s first time visiting Alex’s shelter.

The towering barrier walls outside didn’t surprise her.

Nor did the automated defense system make her feel intimidated.

It wasn’t until they entered the villa and she saw a woman with a demeanor and appearance that rivaled hers, with her hair neatly tied up, casually walking out of the house to greet her and Alex, that Olivia was taken aback.

Approaching Mia, Alex hugged her and kissed her forehead before softly asking, “Did you miss me?”

Mia smiled and replied, “When have I not missed you?”

Alex burst into laughter.

Olivia followed behind, feeling somewhat awkward as she approached the two.

“Olivia, let me introduce you. This is Mia, our team’s doctor, and also my girlfriend.”

“Mia, this is…”

Before Alex could introduce Olivia to Mia, Olivia interrupted.

Smiling, she reached out her hand to Mia and said, “Hello, I’m Olivia, Alex’s classmate. Nice to meet you.”

They shook hands.

Mia also smiled and said, “Alex used to mention you often. Indeed, very beautiful.”

“Whenever you have time, tell me more about Alex’s embarrassing moments from university. ”

“Sure, I know a thing or two about Alex’s embarrassing moments.”

As the two women chatted and laughed, they linked arms and walked into the villa together, leaving Alex standing alone in the courtyard.

Alex felt like he was dreaming.

Just moments ago, there had been a tense atmosphere when Olivia and Mia first met.

But in the blink of an eye, they were holding hands and leaving him outside the villa.

Alex’s expression was somewhat strange, but mostly he was just happy.

The fact that the two women could get along so well so quickly meant fewer troubles for him.

In the following days, with Olivia’s arrival, Mia dragged Alex along with the beddings to another room.

Alex was puzzled, but Mia simply said, “We have plenty of rooms at home, so let’s stay separate.”

Alex felt quite aggrieved.

Usually, it was Mia who clung to him, sometimes even waking him up in his sleep.

But now, with Olivia’s arrival, he was kicked out of the room.

Still, Alex complied.

He cleaned up a new room and settled in there.

In the days that followed, Alex didn’t go out to gather supplies but stayed at home with the two women.

Waking up in the morning, eating breakfast made by Mia, and chatting with Olivia about past memories, it was quite pleasant.

“The tranquility of the moment was quickly shattered.

…

“Olivia, are you absolutely certain about what you just said?” Alex asked, his expression serious, finding it hard to believe Olivia’s terrifying words.

Olivia nodded, her voice solemn as she assured, “Absolutely certain, it will be a catastrophe of unprecedented proportions!”

On a cloudless night, with stars twinkling across the sky, Olivia, as she had done for several nights prior, brought out the telescope Alex had given her and savored the rare opportunity to observe the heavens.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t spot the blue star or the familiar galaxies. Tonight, however, presented the perfect conditions for stargazing, and Olivia, while observing, suddenly noticed an unusual trajectory.

She found it somewhat unbelievable.

Rubbing her eyes and peering through the telescope once more, she was horrified to realize it wasn’t a hallucination.

Clusters of meteors trailed by brooms were hurtling towards a doomsday scenario.

If nothing went awry, they’d likely arrive next month.

Without hesitation, Olivia quickly woke up Alex and Mia, who had already fallen asleep, and informed them of this despair-inducing reality.

Alex, chin in hand, fell into deep thought.

“Olivia, are there many meteors in this group? What level of destruction would occur if they hit the ground?”

After some consideration, Olivia responded without hesitation, “Destruction! Nothing but destruction! It would devastate the ecosystem, withering trees; it would scar the land with craters and pits.”

“Most importantly, for survivors, it would be a catastrophe.”

Alex tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, murmuring, “The underground bunker blueprints we obtained before might come in handy.”

“However, acquiring the construction materials might prove challenging.”

An underground bunker.

Amidst a cataclysm like a meteor shower, it could provide them with a safe haven.

Yet, this underground bunker required a type of special material never seen before.

S alloy.

Despite gathering so many supplies, Alex had never heard of it.

But to construct the underground bunker, S alloy was indispensable.

Alex felt a mixture of joy and concern.

Olivia, unaware of the materials needed for the underground bunker, remained excited.

“Alex, the underground bunker blueprints we obtained from the Wolf Gang will finally be useful! Once we’ve built the underground bunker and stocked up on enough supplies, we can easily weather this meteor shower.”

Mia also looked at Alex with anticipation.

Alex shook his head, explaining with a wry smile, “If building this underground bunker were that easy, I wouldn’t be so troubled.”

“I’ll show you the blueprints so you can see what construction materials are required.”

As he spoke, Alex took out the underground bunker blueprints from his backpack and handed them to Mia and Olivia.

Both of them took the blueprints and furrowed their brows simultaneously.

“What is this S alloy? I’ve never heard of it…”

Alex shrugged helplessly.

“Yes, this special S alloy that we’ve never heard of, we have no idea what it looks like.”

Mia murmured, “It seems like we’ll have to desperately gather supplies during this time, search for that S alloy, only then can we have a glimmer of hope.”

Suddenly, Olivia suggested, “Why don’t we check the trading platform? Perhaps someone might have it listed there, you never know.”
