Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 187: Alex! Hero?

"Dadadadada..." The intense sound of machine guns and the continuous firing of rifles echoed, mowing down zombies in rows.

However, all of this could only temporarily hold back the zombie onslaught. The zombie tide persisted, and under the lead of several B-grade mutant zombies, the horde of mutated zombies had reached the vicinity!

The artillery continued to roar, and the gunfire never ceased!

However, more and more mutant zombies appeared at the gate.

"We can't hold on! With so many mutant zombies, if they get close, the iron gate won't hold!"

Soldiers stationed on the watchtowers on both sides of the gate roared, and their machine guns spat out fire serpents wildly. The barrel temperatures had reached their limits.

Nevertheless, the tyrant zombies, almost turned into sieves, were still desperately pounding the base shelter's gate.

More and more mutant zombies were rushing towards the gate.

The gate, reinforced with steel, had begun to twist and deform!

"Brothers from the Material Collection Team, follow me and fight!" Under Alex's signal, Lu Bao and Peng Le, leading more than a dozen mutant soldiers from the Material Collection Team, wielding long spears and knives, disregarded everything and jumped off the city wall. They charged desperately towards the zombie horde at the gate!

"Kill!" Under Zhang Jingwu's command, the mutant soldiers of the Security Management Team also jumped down without hesitation, charging towards the horde of mutant zombies at the gate.

With the encouragement of these two teams, even the originally reserved City Defense Team had brave soldiers jumping off the city wall, launching a countercharge against the zombie tide.

"Kill!!! For the base shelter! For humanity!! Kill!!"

"Charge!!! Long live the base shelter!!"

"Charge!!! Long live humanity!!"

In this heroic and tragic atmosphere, almost everyone forgot about fear. Even some ordinary soldiers, after running out of bullets, jumped off the city wall with their knives and joined the battle against the zombies.

The scene was incredibly magnificent, and even Alex felt a twinge of compassion. Human nature can be so despicable and ugly at times, yet so great and noble at others. Often, those who are cunning, selfish, and shameless are the ones with status and wealth, hypocritically preaching noble ideals in public but engaging in sordid deeds in private.

On the other hand, those who are selfless, courageous, and righteous are often the young soldiers living at the bottom of society. They may lack education and struggle to express their aspirations, but they possess unwavering beliefs and noble pursuits. It is because of these individuals that humanity continues to endure, facing disasters and asserting dominance over the Earth.

Alex watched the magnificent scene before him and couldn't help but sigh. More and more soldiers were falling, either overwhelmed by zombies or torn to pieces. The gate of the base shelter also showed cracks, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Inside the gate, under the leadership of Guang Beijia, the women and elderly of the shelter picked up weapons, their faces resolute as they stared at the gate.

If the zombies surged in, they would be the last line of defense for the base shelter.

"Boom!!!" The gate of the base shelter finally couldn't withstand the impact of the tyrant zombies and collapsed. The soldiers who were desperately resisting the zombie tide had suffered heavy casualties and were retreating.

At the moment when the tyrant zombies rushed through the gate, everyone closed their eyes, unable to bear witness to the ensuing scene. Guang Beijia and the women, elderly, and children behind her trembled as they raised their weapons, preparing to face the imminent death.

The base shelter had been declared breached by the zombie tide. Their fate awaited them – to be slaughtered and devoured by the zombies. Everything was over.

Guang Beijia glanced back at the command center, where all the food and water were stored, and where over twenty children represented the only hope for the people here. As the zombie tide approached, the soldiers, women, and elderly shed hot tears.

...

However, the next second, a figure suddenly descended from the sky! A single slash beheaded the tyrant zombie that even machine guns couldn't kill. The figure, like a war god, wielded the knife and launched a countercharge against the zombie tide!

One person!

One knife!

Facing the tsunami-like zombie tide, he fearlessly stood in front of everyone and initiated a countercharge. His figure was like a reef, standing firm in the face of the violent zombie wave, firmly guarding the gate of the base shelter.

His figure seemed so slender.

Yet, so lonely!

But, like a reef, he steadfastly blocked the zombie tide!

At the critical moment, he protected the gate of the shelter!

This man was none other than Alex!

At this moment, the eyes of everyone looking at Alex were filled with admiration and reverence!

Alex's lonely and slender figure was infinitely magnified in the hearts of all!

"Hero!!! He is our hero!!!"

"Great hero!! Alex!! Long live Alex!!!"

"Long live the great hero!!!"

Finally, among the crowd, bursts of enthusiastic cheers erupted. Everyone, from the depths of their hearts, shouted for Alex!!

At this moment, Alex was the solitary hero who saved everyone!

He was the hero and savior of humanity!!

He was the lifesaver of everyone here!!

"Roar!!!" Alex let out a furious roar. His entire body was covered in blood, wounds from zombie claws and bites were horrifying to look at!

If it were an ordinary person, they would have long been unable to bear it and retreated from the front line. For such a powerful warrior like him, choosing to act alone and preserve himself would have been so easy!

However, to protect everyone, he continued to fight to the death! He persisted and refused to surrender! Covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, this great hero-like man continued to fight desperately!

He was so exhausted and desolate, so lonely and slender!

Yet, he was so great! So tragic!!!

Everyone in the base shelter who witnessed this scene was moved to tears!

The mournful cries even overwhelmed the roars of the zombies!

Guangbei Jia was also in tears, shouting loudly at Alex's back, "Alex! Please step back! If you continue like this, you'll die!!"

"Alex! Thank you on behalf of everyone! Please step back! Don't fight anymore! What you've done is enough! If you survive this, we will all swear to follow you to the death!" Zhang Jingwu, covered in wounds, lay among the crowd, desperately shouting at Alex.

"Alex!! Step back, please!"

"Alex!! Run, please!!"

Heart-wrenching cries echoed everywhere. Every person, moved to tears by Alex's actions, choked with emotion. Everyone was pleading with Alex to step back, even if stepping back meant facing death; they were willing to sacrifice for him.
