Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 76

Chapter 76:  Open Recruitment
Alex pulled Mia and Olivia to sit beside him, watching the livestream together.

Inside the livestream, the two girls were enthusiastically introducing their shelter to the audience watching the livestream.

One of the girls, wearing glasses and exuding an artistic youthfulness, spoke to the camera, “Dear survivors, I’m Isabella, and this is my sister Grace. Tonight, we will introduce to you the shelter our team has recently built.”

“Now we’re sitting on the sofa in the underground bunker. Look, everyone, at the size of our underground bunker.”

Then Isabella rotated her livestream perspective around the entire underground bunker, allowing the audience in the livestream room to see clearly.

It must be said that the area of this underground bunker was very large.

Alex even felt that it was larger than the underground bunker they had built under the villa.

I wonder where they found such a large construction foundation.

However, the decoration of this underground bunker was not sophisticated; it was a bare industrial-style room.

S-alloy walls were exposed, and there were no tiles on the floor.

Isabella walked around in the livestream, and you could even see the dust rising.

There were quite a few people living in this underground bunker.

Unlike Alex and his group, who could live relatively comfortably in one room, at most, Mia and Olivia lived together.

The scene under Isabella’s livestream was like a collective dormitory from Alex’s student days.

Four or five bunk beds, a not-too-large room, housing eight to ten survivors.

Isabella walked into a room and had a few big men who were eating food wave to the livestream audience.

The big men chewed their food, somewhat reluctantly, but still waved to the audience in the livestream room.

Then they continued to wolf down their food.

The audience in the livestream room watched closely.

These big men had quite a lot of food to eat, with meat, eggs, and rice.

Was the food in this underground bunker that good?!

Many survivors in the livestream comment section spoke up, wanting to ask what conditions were needed to join their shelter.

Number 563563: “Isabella, darling, does big brother need to meet any requirements to join your shelter?”

Number 856445: “Damn, the previous comment is way too oily, grossed me out.”

Number 235557: “Isabella, I’m quite interested in your underground bunker. I’m a lone survivor. Can I join you?”

Number 754035: “I’m also a lone survivor. I can’t build an underground bunker by myself! Can I come and join for a while? I won’t just eat for free; I can work.”

The barrage was lively, and many people even showed strong interest in joining their underground bunker.

This was exactly Isabella’s intention.

After glancing at the barrage for a moment, Isabella smiled and said, “I just looked at everyone’s barrage, and many people are asking if our underground bunker still needs people, what the conditions are. Here, let me explain to everyone. Our underground bunker still has a lot of space, with four or five more rooms, so, at least, it can accommodate dozens of people.”

“Furthermore, our team doesn’t require any admission criteria. As long as you have labor capacity, we are very welcome. Here, as long as everyone works hard together to build, we all eat together!”

Alex listened with a slight frown.

This model sounded so familiar…

However, he didn’t dwell on it, just keeping his thoughts to himself.

After Isabella finished explaining, a large number of barrage messages flooded in.

Many survivors signed up, wanting to join their shelter.

Many people were also sending gifts, like a bottle of water or a piece of bread, trying to stand out among the many competitors.

Grace, who was always paying attention to the dynamics of the livestream room alongside Isabella, smiled when she saw the gifts sent by many survivors and read out their names.

“Thank you, thank you very much to [I want to join your shelter] for the bucket of purified water. Boss, you’re generous, may you stay healthy! Alright, we’ve seen your message, remember to DM us later!”

There were also some rather embarrassing usernames in the livestream room.

Grace hesitated for a moment but still read them out as usual.

“And this person, thank you, thank you to [Isabella, Grace, I want them all… I want them all] for the ten sausages.”

The gifts in the doomsday livestream were somewhat different from those in the previous world.

Taken directly from backpacks, they were actual tangible goods.

Isabella and Grace’s livestream room topped the livestream popularity chart that night.

A large number of survivors who didn’t have the ability to build underground bunkers to deal with the meteor shower crowded in, desperate for a chance to survive.

According to the system’s data, there were actually over a hundred thousand people in the district where Alex was located.

The villa area was in the suburbs, so it seemed quite desolate.

But in reality, the sheriff and some other large teams had stationed themselves in densely populated areas, where it was bustling.

It was precisely under these circumstances that there were actually many lone wolf-like survivors.

They didn’t have the ability to build underground bunkers to deal with the meteor shower.

As the countdown to death approached, they had to do everything they could to seek survival.

Isabella and Grace’s livestream that night revealed that joining their underground bunker surprisingly required no conditions.

If any conditions had to be mentioned, it was simply having the ability to work and being physically intact.

Such conditions, compared to other teams, had no thresholds at all!

Teams like the Police Station led by the sheriff, as well as other large teams, required newcomers who wanted to join their underground bunkers to pay expensive supplies as an entry fee.

Once inside, the principle was labor for allocation, with more work resulting in more rewards.

They also established a points system.

Each time survivors went out to gather supplies, the more they gathered, the more points they would accrue.

Upon reaching a certain quantity, they would advance in internal rank, enjoying better environments and supplies.

In comparison, Isabella and their team’s shelter was practically a paradise!

Naturally, it didn’t take long for them to recruit a full complement of survivors.

In terms of numbers, they quickly became a force to be reckoned with, comparable to those frontline teams like the Police Station.

But what Alex saw more potential in was the model of those large teams like the Police Station.

In the early stages of building a team, transitioning with equal distribution might work, but it’s not a wise choice in the long run.

Obviously, the Police Station had also suffered setbacks before.

So, they switched to a points system, where more work equaled more rewards.

Everyone who joined got something to eat.

But in the end, whether one worked more or less, everyone got the same.

Continuing down this path would be dangerous.

With the meteor shower looming, if survivors were to become chaotic due to unequal distribution of resources, only teams with strong force like the Police Station could suppress it.

Otherwise, it would only plunge the entire team into chaos, even leading to disintegration.

Clearly, Isabella and their originally small team lacked such emergency capabilities.

Their overnight success would eventually lead to trouble…
