Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Testing the Energy Shield
“Dear survivor, the remaining charging time for the ‘Energy Shield’ you set up is seventy-one hours, fifty-eight minutes, and forty-five seconds. You can consume energy to accelerate the charging time.”

Without hesitation, Alex asked, “What energy is needed?”

“The fastest energy for charging the ‘Energy Shield’ is electrical energy. We have detected electrical energy in your shelter. Would you like to connect the charging channel?”

“Connect it!” Alex didn’t hesitate.

But he was puzzled.

“How much time can be reduced by accelerating the charging?”

The AI assistant paused slightly, then provided an accurate figure.

“Dear survivor, with the additional charging, the ‘Energy Shield’ charging time will be reduced to six hours.”

Alex frowned slightly, crossing his arms.

Although the charging time had been reduced to six hours, which was quite good, he was still somewhat dissatisfied.

He was worried that something unexpected might happen during these six hours.

However, he couldn’t expect everything to be perfect.

Alex could only urge the AI assistant to quickly connect the charging channel.

“Okay, the charging channel has been connected!” The mechanical, feminine voice of the AI assistant surrounded Alex’s ears.

Alex saw that at the moment the charging channel was connected, a transparent glass-like dome appeared in the air above the villa.

Electric currents flowed through it, resembling the veins of a body.

Was this the energy shield?

Curious, Alex walked outside the S-alloy walls and touched the edge of the ‘Energy Shield’.

But he touched nothing.

It was invisible.

As for the six-hour gap, there was nothing he could do.

Alex could only inspect the automated defense system and the S-alloy walls to ensure there were no areas needing repair.

Then, he adjusted the cameras around the villa.

Finally, he returned to his bedroom, lay down lightly, and closed his eyes to rest.

The night passed without incident.

Ding ding!

Two system alert sounds.

One was the daily unlimited supply prompt.

Unlimited 30mm cannon rounds.

Perfect!

With this, his armored vehicle would finally have a purpose, becoming a mobile artillery platform.

The other was the notification sound for the completion of the ‘Energy Shield’ charging.

“Dear survivor, the Energy Shield has been fully charged. After the initial charging, the Energy Shield will automatically absorb natural energy for continuous energy supply without interruption.”

Alex couldn’t wait. He didn’t even bother to wash up and rushed out into the yard to see what the charged ‘Energy Shield’ looked like.

Looking up into the sky and seeing nothing visible, Alex blinked, not very sure.

Yesterday evening, there was still a thin film-like transparent substance visible, but now that the charging was complete, it had disappeared?

Alex walked outside the S-alloy walls.

He was wearing his combat gear and cautiously tapped a meter or two outside the S-alloy walls.

This position was the limit range of the ‘Energy Shield’.

It’s a ripple!

Alex felt his fist being hindered, unable to advance an inch.

The place where he was obstructed was precisely within the protective range of the ‘Energy Shield’, and ripples like water waves appeared around his fist.

It was just like in a science fiction movie, where ripples were generated in mid-air even though nothing could be seen.

Alex exerted more force.

This time, the ripples were even stronger, and Alex could see them more clearly.

The ripples spread out from around his fist, seeming to dissipate all the kinetic energy onto the entire ‘Energy Shield’.

Alex roughly understood the operating principle of the ‘Energy Shield’ now.

He was very curious about what level of damage the ‘Energy Shield’ could withstand.

He took out his Critical Hit Katana and other cold weapons, such as crossbow bolts.

The ‘Energy Shield’ easily blocked the attacks of these objects.

This was also within Alex’s expectations.

As a platinum-level defense device, if it couldn’t even withstand cold weapons, it might as well be a piece of tofu.

Now, it was time to try out some firearms.

Alex first took out a handgun.

After two gunshots, Alex’s mouth hung open.

He watched as the two bullets were blocked outside the ‘Energy Shield’, as if they were fixed in place, floating in mid-air.

In an instant, they dropped to the ground.

But Alex saw that moment of pause very clearly.

The sudden gunshots startled Mia and Olivia awake.

They hurriedly ran out into the yard, thinking that the sheriff and the police station’s squad had arrived at their doorstep.

Instead, they saw Alex in combat gear shooting at the door.

Then, they realized.

Alex was testing the ‘Energy Shield’.

Alex then pulled out more powerful grenades and threw them into the air.

Next, he saw Mia and Olivia standing in the yard, looking startled.

The grenade exploded, the ‘Energy Shield’ activated, and all the grenade shrapnel was blocked outside.

Then, as if it had elasticity, the ‘Energy Shield’ bounced the shrapnel to the ground.

Alex was really startled.

He was worried that the ‘Energy Shield’ might suddenly malfunction or something.

If it malfunctioned and the grenade was thrown into the yard, the damage would be significant.

Fortunately, this platinum-level supply passed the quality inspection.

Other survivors in the villa area were also awakened by the noise Alex made.

When they cursed and opened the windows to scold, they saw that it was 10086 in white combat gear making the noise. They swallowed back their curses, full of dirty words.

Recently, 10086’s ruthless deeds had spread.

He had taken platinum-level supplies from the Police Station, Dragon Soar, and drug cartel, and even killed two deputy leaders of the Police Station in the old city district.

Now, Alex was nicknamed “Honeypot”.

Although many survivors still didn’t know 10086’s real name or appearance.

From the traces of the videos he posted, it could be inferred that he was a young man.

Finally, Alex used an AK47 to fire.

The muzzle spewed tongues of fire, and the spent casings clattered to the ground.

But even with such a large number of bullets, they still didn’t have much of an impact on the ‘Energy Shield’.

Alex put away the AK47, rotated his arms, which were starting to ache from maintaining the same posture for a long time, and walked to the shield to inspect it again.

Looking at the almost intact ‘Energy Shield’, Alex could only marvel.

“[Shield energy loss: 1%, recovering]”

“This is the power of a platinum-level supply!”
