Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Seeking Help at the Door
 

Previously saying that Silver Fox would choose first was just a formality.

If Silver Fox really made unreasonable demands, being greedy, then after eliminating 10086, it would be their turn.

Fortunately, Silver Fox also knew how to be reasonable. Although he proposed to choose the automated defense system first, he didn’t overreach.

Iron Arm and King Kong also accepted it.

Iron Arm said, “Then I’ll take the generator. How about you, King Kong?”

King Kong nodded.

“I have my eye on the barrier walls.”

“I was worried earlier that you might want to compete with me for the barrier walls. Since you want the generator, we can each take what we need. That’s the best outcome.”

Apparently, the three teams already considered Alex’s rare supplies as theirs, and they had started discussing distribution plans.

“Hahaha, then it’s settled. Whatever common supplies are left, we’ll split evenly among us!”

Iron Arm was quite pleased.

He was among the first to arrive in the villa area and had witnessed the conflicts between Alex and Ethan’s teams, as well as Alex’s ruthless methods afterward.

He couldn’t wait for Alex to die.

After finalizing the plan, Silver Fox suggested, “Two leaders, to ensure nothing goes wrong, we can poison the supplies we hand over to 10086 as a reward for their help. Food, water, all of it laced with poison.”

King Kong frowned.

“But won’t all these supplies go to waste then?”

Iron Arm agreed with Silver Fox’s suggestion, saying, “King Kong, you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. Although we’ll waste a lot of supplies, as long as we successfully eradicate 10086, all the sacrifices will be worth it. We’ll gain several times, even dozens of times, the reward!!”

King Kong gritted his teeth.

“Fine! We’ll do as you say. All the supplies will be poisoned!”

Silver Fox nodded, then instructed the subordinates of the three teams present.

“Everyone, we’re soon going to have days where we can take hot showers and use air conditioning! Please give it your all to wipe out 10086!”

Everyone shouted in unison, eager to eradicate 10086, as if they could already see the happy life that awaited them afterward.

…

Alex woke up early today.

However, he was a bit angry.

Because he didn’t wake up naturally.

He usually liked to sleep until eight o’clock, leisurely stretching and doing some joint exercises before getting up.

But today, at seven o’clock sharp, he was awakened by someone.

It was the other survivors from the villa area, seven or eight of them, with a few injured people bandaged up, banging on the gate outside and shouting loudly.

This made Alex very angry.

“Damn, why are they banging on the gate so early in the morning? Do they have nothing better to do?!”

Alex was very annoyed. He connected to the surveillance speaker and said indifferently, “What are you doing? Didn’t I say that you’re not allowed near my shelter? Or is it that you’ve forgotten after some time?”

Among those pretending to be injured, Silver Fox raised his head upon hearing Alex’s voice and shouted loudly, “10086, we’re not here to cause trouble but to seek your help. Please help us!”

Alex snorted coldly and said nonchalantly, “Then you’ve got the wrong person! My place isn’t a shelter; I won’t provide any help.”

However, Silver Fox remained calm and said, “10086, we’re asking you for some medical supplies. We can offer daily necessities as compensation, and the compensation will definitely satisfy you!”

After some consideration, Alex thought it over. He had drawn an unlimited amount of alcohol and antiseptics. It wouldn’t hurt to exchange some for daily necessities, especially since he didn’t have an unlimited supply of food.

Filling the stomach with food was always a good idea.

Through the speaker, Alex said, “Alright, wait for me. I’ll come down and open the door.”

Silver Fox felt secretly delighted.

Sure enough, as soon as 10086 heard about compensation, he couldn’t resist.

People die for wealth, and birds die for food.

It’s a pity, this time, you’re going to fall into my hands.

Alex descended the stairs.

Mia and Olivia were already up and making breakfast.

They also heard what Alex said through the speaker.

They weren’t too supportive of Alex’s hasty decision to open the door.

Mia said, “Alex, have you forgotten about Ethan’s team from before? They also came to scout our strength and ended up launching a surprise attack. If it weren’t for our ample supplies and early preparation, we would’ve been their victims. You should be careful not to repeat the same mistake.”

Olivia nodded in agreement.

“Yes, Alex, we’ve always used ruthless methods to intimidate the entire villa area, so they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”

“This sudden visit definitely has ulterior motives.”

Alex smiled slightly.

“Of course, I know that. I won’t just open the door directly. I’ll only take action when they hand over the supplies to me.”

Olivia furrowed her brow, still worried.

“But what if it’s a trap? What if they deliberately lure us with supplies, and we fall right into their hands?”

Alex nodded.

“That’s possible. So, when the time comes, don’t leave the yard. I’ll go out alone.”

“If things go wrong, I can put on my combat gear and activate the automated defense system at the first sign of trouble.”

Mia and Olivia nodded in agreement.

As long as Alex remained vigilant, the people outside wouldn’t have much opportunity to take advantage of them.

“Be careful, we’ll keep an eye on things from inside. If anything seems off, we’ll provide fire support for you.”

After discussing for a while, Alex walked out into the yard.

Through the gate, he said, “What supplies do you intend to offer in exchange?”

“I’ll be upfront with you. If you want assistance from me, you’ll need to provide satisfactory compensation.”

Silver Fox opened the trading window directly and sent Alex ten pounds of meat, twenty pounds of cornmeal, and several buckets of purified water.

“10086, this is our sincerity. What do you think?”

“We only want you to help us with our injuries.”

Alex accepted the supplies sent by Silver Fox.

The generosity of these supplies far exceeded his expectations.

He didn’t expect these people to be so generous.

At the same time, this also made Alex secretly wary.
