Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Equipment Upgrade for All Personnel
After a day’s journey, Alex returned home.

Mia and Olivia heard the sound of keys turning and came out to greet him.

“Hey, waiting at the door?” Alex joked as he took off his shoes and put on slippers, seeing the two women standing there.

Seeing Alex return unharmed, Mia and Olivia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Alex insisted on not letting them accompany him to the old city, deeming it too dangerous and worrying about their safety at home.

Mia complained, “We were so worried about you!”

Olivia carefully examined Alex from head to toe.

“It seems like you’re not hurt anywhere… Oh well, we were just being paranoid and worried for nothing.”

Alex chuckled and walked into the living room with the two of them.

“Don’t say that. This time it was really dangerous. I almost lost my life. Fortunately, I didn’t take you with me, or I would definitely regret it.”

Indeed, the old city was extremely dangerous.

Only with Alex’s [Stealth] skill and the enhancement of his combat suit could he escape alive under the noses of the Police Station, Dragon Soar, and the drug cartel.

If it were Mia and Olivia, even wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the fierce firepower of the helicopter.

Thinking back to the battles in the old city, Alex couldn’t help but feel grateful.

Only he knew that if it weren’t for the timely cool down of his [Stealth] skill and the Police Station’s helicopter inexplicably descending in altitude, giving him an opportunity, he would have had no way to escape the encirclement of the major factions.

However, luck was also a skill.

But Alex dared not rely on luck anymore.

This time, facing off against the Police Station officially, he gained a clear understanding of his current strength.

In terms of individual strength, Alex was very powerful.

With the addition of the [Stealth] skill, he could even become an excellent assassin.

But when faced with swarm tactics, he couldn’t engage in prolonged combat.

He had turned the assassin into a warrior!

On the way back, Alex also reflected on his position and decided to actively leverage his strengths and develop in that direction in the future.

Imagine, a stealthy assassin clad in combat gear lurking in the bedroom of the enemy team leader.

Just as the leader was about to undress and spend the night with a lady, suddenly the assassin uncloaks and strikes the leader with a few swift blows.

It’s simply unstoppable!

After returning home, Alex reassured Mia and Olivia’s slight emotional turmoil.

He knew that the two women waiting for him at home without any news must have been agonizing.

But he really couldn’t bear to take them out together.

The situation was changing too fast now, and the combat equipment of the major factions completely overshadowed Mia and her team.

Alex could only do his best to collect higher-level supplies to upgrade Mia and her team.

Alex also took out the retired UMP9 submachine gun and handed it to Mia and Olivia.

Compared to the UMP9, Alex still preferred the AK47 for its greater firepower.

Removing the UMP9 submachine gun also happened to improve the strength of his teammates.

The three of them had returned to the living room and were sitting on the sofa.

Mia and Olivia looked at the UMP9 submachine gun placed on the coffee table and looked at each other.

In the end, they started to insist on giving way to each other.

Mia put the UMP9 submachine gun into Olivia’s arms and said, “Olivia, you take this submachine gun.”

But Olivia didn’t take it, instead, she handed it to Mia.

“Mia, I can’t take it! You are our team’s doctor and need stronger firepower to protect yourself.”

Mia smiled and shook her head, pressing the submachine gun into Olivia’s hands and patting Olivia’s hand.

“Olivia, you have more shooting and combat experience than me. This submachine gun is more useful in your hands! Besides, we’re always together, can’t you protect me?”

Olivia wanted to argue.

“But Mia, you…”

But Alex interrupted, “Alright, stop insisting on giving way.”

“Olivia, you take it.”

“Mia is right, you have more combat experience.”

“If you feel guilty about it, then next time when there are better combat supplies, you can give them to Mia first.”

Mia also nodded with a smile.

“Yeah, Olivia, we’re good sisters after all.”

Olivia pursed her lips, finally nodded, and vowed, “Mia, I will protect you! Next time, if there are better combat supplies, you must not let me have them again!”

Mia smiled and said, “I know, just don’t overthink it.”

Then, Mia looked at Alex.

“Oh, by the way, Alex, did you gain anything from your trip to the old city this time?”

Alex nodded and took out the platinum-level supply crate, placing it in front of Mia and Olivia.

With a lingering fear in his heart, he said, “This time, when I went to the old city, the Police Station, Dragon Soar, and the drug cartel, three major factions, were all intent on seizing this big guy.”

“It was because of this big guy that I was chased by the Police Station’s helicopter and almost lost my life in the old city.”

“However, fortune favors the bold. Fortunately, I returned safely without any harm.”

Although Alex was downplaying it, Mia and Olivia felt as if they were reliving the danger with just a few simple words.

They couldn’t believe that Alex had actually confronted three major factions this time.

Mia looked worried.

“Why do you take such risks? What if something had gone wrong?”

Alex held Mia’s hand.

“Silly, didn’t I come back unharmed?”

“You have to venture into the tiger’s den to get the tiger’s cub. Some things just have to be done.”

Olivia looked at the platinum-level supply crate curiously and asked, “Alex, how did you manage to snatch it from under their noses?”

Alex chuckled and explained, “The supply crate was stored in a warehouse. I was invisible at the time, and the Chief and Oliver were facing off outside the warehouse. I took the opportunity to sneak in from behind and grab it.”

Olivia laughed until her stomach hurt after hearing this.

“What a crazy move! How did they find out about you?”

Alex sighed, feeling helpless.

“Well, I was actually about to leave the old city. It was just on my way out that my [Stealth] skill entered cool down.”

“At that moment, I was blocked by some zombies and made some noise, which attracted the attention of the helicopter on patrol.”

“In the end, I had to fight my way out.”

“It’s good that you’re okay,” Olivia comforted.

“But, now that your identity has been exposed, the Police Station probably won’t let it go…”

Alex was very relaxed, not caring at all.

“Let them come!”

“I won’t give up the platinum-level supply crate. As long as they dare to come, I’ll make sure they regret it!”

“Hehe, if the platinum-level supply crate yields some pulse cannons or surface-to-air missiles later, that would be fun…”
