Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Hunt Operation
Not long after, the three of them looked at the freshly painted walls with satisfaction.

As for the kitchen, Alex purchased items like range hoods, refrigerators, and gas stoves from the trading platform.

Finally, he personally built a stove with marble, grinding it himself.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Alex looked at the somewhat rough marble stove and nodded.

It would do.

After finishing the discussed renovations, Alex began some technological upgrades to the underground bunker.

The current trading platform offered many technological products, but they were rendered useless due to the lack of electricity and internet.

Seizing the opportunity, Alex preemptively acquired many technological supplies, such as cameras and drones.

From his backpack, Alex retrieved smart locks and installed them on all the doors of the underground bunker.

Finally, he activated an integrated IoT assistant and connected it to the cameras outside the villa.

This ensured that even in the underground bunker, they could stay informed about the situation on the surface.

In addition, Alex installed a computer in the living room.

Although it couldn’t connect to the internet, it was linked to all the villa’s cameras, effectively serving as a monitoring screen.

Alex didn’t expect much from this somewhat outdated processor; being able to serve as a monitor was already satisfactory.

With the addition of the underground bunker, the villa’s electricity consumption increased, and the gasoline generator’s fuel consumption soared.

Alex had to frequently refill it with gasoline.

Although it was troublesome, he had to ensure the underground bunker’s power supply to keep it operational for a while.

Once these tasks were completed, the underground bunker was considered renovated.

After building the underground bunker to withstand the impending meteor shower, Alex, Mia, and Olivia didn’t relax. Instead, they went out every day, collecting supplies and hunting zombies to gain experience points.

Constantly improving their strength was the key.

“There are probably about a hundred zombies, gathering. There’s likely to be high-level loot. Get ready to move,” Alex said, putting down his binoculars and calling Mia and Olivia, who were chatting.

The three of them were currently in a flat park, with the vintage car parked on the side of the road.

Dust rose in the distance, obscuring the view.

It was only through Alex’s binoculars that they could see the zombie horde.

Mia and Olivia stopped chatting, loading their guns.

Each of them had two handguns.

With ample ammunition, their combined firepower could provide a certain degree of suppression.

In the past few days, Alex and the others had ventured deep into zombie territory.

With great risk came great rewards.

Alex had already upgraded his weaponry.

He had given Mia his old P92 pistol and switched to a UMP9 submachine gun, which also used nine-millimeter bullets.

He had also acquired several more handguns, choosing two compatible with nine-millimeter bullets for Olivia, and selling the rest on the trading platform for a satisfactory price.

Alex also noticed that as their team’s influence grew, resources weren’t as scarce as they were initially.

In fact, many firearms were now listed on the trading platform.

Although most of them were handguns, it indicated that other teams were also beginning to acquire more advanced weapons.

Alex revved the vintage car and headed straight for the horde of zombies.

Without slowing down, he plowed through the zombies, sending them flying.

Then, he had Mia take the wheel while he donned his combat gear and armed himself with a submachine gun before charging into the mass of zombies.

Mia took over the wheel, unbuckling her seatbelt and smoothly moving from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat. She was responsible for maneuvering around the battlefield where Alex was engaged.

In contrast to Alex’s direct approach, Mia’s role was to provide support and flank the enemy.

Meanwhile, Olivia inside the car was tasked with throwing Molotov cocktails and explosives to relieve the pressure on Alex.

At this moment, Alex was already wielding his Critical Strike Warrior Sword, engaging in close combat with the zombies.

The magazine of the UMP9 submachine gun wasn’t small, but it was simply not enough when facing a large number of zombies.

Alex also didn’t have time to reload the magazine.

Roar! Alex was struck hard from behind.

Despite wearing combat gear, he still felt his internal organs churning.

Swinging his sword, he knocked down the zombie in front of him, then turned to strike the one that had ambushed him.

This particular zombie seemed to be mutated, different from the ones usually encountered, exceptionally robust.

However, Alex had long gotten used to this.

Ever since the appearance of mutated creatures, mutated zombies had also begun to emerge.

These zombies had enhanced physical abilities and strength.

Alex suspected that further along, there might even appear zombies with intelligence and various special abilities.

Just like those bosses in the Resident Evil game series.

Even with the Critical Strike Warrior Sword, striking this kind of mutated zombie wouldn’t produce fatal wounds; it still required chopping away, blow by blow.

Just like the mutated giant spider Alex had battled before.

Any creature associated with mutation was extremely troublesome.

Fortunately, this mutated zombie hadn’t gained intelligence yet. Although it knew Alex’s Critical Strike Warrior Sword posed a danger to it, it still recklessly attacked with its body, never attempting to dodge throughout.

Alex was also not feeling well.

Despite wearing combat gear, the powerful blows from the mutated zombie continually caused reverberations.

A trace of blood even trickled from Alex’s lips.

Mia and the others saw Alex in trouble and wanted to come help.

But they were blocked by the zombies.

They couldn’t stay, only continuously circling the outskirts of the zombie horde, trying to attract the zombies as much as possible and then using ranged attacks to eliminate them.

After all, unlike Alex, they weren’t wearing combat gear and couldn’t recklessly charge through the zombie horde.

Even if ordinary people took anti-virus serum, they weren’t afraid of zombie infection.

But zombies could tear people apart alive, which was even more terrifying than infection.

Alex was restrained by the mutated zombie, and soon, other zombies closed in around him.

He had to break free immediately.

Otherwise, if this dragged on, he would exhaust himself to death.

Gritting his teeth, Alex directly threw several grenades nearby, on the ground where the zombies were bound to pass.

Boom! The grenades exploded, tearing the zombies apart.

The mutated zombie was also slowed down considerably by the blast.

But Alex was also within the blast radius.

The defense of the combat gear remained intact even amidst such a staggering explosion.

However, Alex’s internal injuries worsened, and he was thoroughly shaken by the blast.

He just thought to himself, never again would he stand within a grenade blast radius.

Real grenade explosions were too deadly; the energy backlash was enough to rupture one’s internal organs.

Mind you, Alex had undergone physical enhancement.

Even he almost couldn’t withstand the internal injuries, let alone an ordinary person.
