Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 248: Gender Imbalance Causes Trouble

After taking a quick look at the situation on the island, Alex began to formulate some plans. Dealing with these people single-handedly was extremely challenging. Even facing just these mutant warriors, Alex wasn't confident in defeating them all alone. Moreover, they possessed a destroyer!

The immense firepower on the destroyer could instantly turn Alex into ashes at a designated spot. Alex had considered the option of secretly building the City of Darkness on the island and then using the City of Darkness's Archdemon's folded space to mobilize his entire army to the island. Additionally, he could construct numerous Annihilator artillery units.

However, there was a time gap to consider. Given the powerful firepower of the destroyer, if Alex faced an attack just as the City of Darkness was completed, it might be obliterated instantly. Therefore, Alex needed the right timing—the moment the destroyer left!

As soon as the destroyer departed, Alex could immediately summon the City of Darkness. Using the Archdemon's folded space, he could continuously transport his massive army to the island. Combined with the formidable firepower of the Annihilator artillery, he could crush this group with overwhelming force.

The crucial point now was to wait—wait for the destroyer to leave. Alternatively, Alex could explore special means to take control of the destroyer. Or perhaps...

Alex thought about Mermaid Island not far from the Welcoming Light Island. On that island, there was a powerful naval force!

If Alex could utilize or gain the assistance of these mermaids, dealing with the people here would become much simpler.

"Let's first try if we can destroy the destroyer!"

If the destroyer could be destroyed, Alex's revenge and extermination plan would become much easier. With a swift movement, Alex had already stealthily appeared on the destroyer.

Upon stepping onto the destroyer, Alex immediately felt a daunting pressure. Though weaker than the Mermaid Queen's, it was undoubtedly pressure. Alex could sense that this pressure emanated from within the destroyer.

On this destroyer, there was a mutant presence with strength comparable to Alex's, or even stronger. Upon entering the destroyer, Alex immediately realized that destroying the destroyer was nearly impossible. Stay tuned with m-v l|-NovelBin.net

The security on the destroyer was much tighter than the restaurant. Fully armed mutants patrolled back and forth, and the entire destroyer was equipped with alarm systems and surveillance devices. Once Alex's invisibility vanished, he would be exposed, and then he would face the siege of mutants throughout the destroyer. Besides, a skilled opponent with comparable strength could strike at any moment.

Since that path seemed unfeasible, Alex didn't want to waste any more time. As he was about to leave, he noticed Hong Fei and others boarding the destroyer, heading towards its interior. Alex quickly followed suit. The invisibility spell could last for about half an hour more, and Alex wanted to explore the situation inside during this time.

Upon entering the interior of the destroyer, the first thing that caught Alex's eyes was a hall.

This should be the place where these people usually dine. In one corner of the hall, there's a bar-like area with beverages and tobacco products.

The warriors here conscientiously hand over peculiar items to the women at the bar, who then provide them with what they need. Hong Fei and the others approached the bar, each handing a card to the woman, and in return, received a can of drink. Hong Fei flirted with the woman, saying a few playful words.

Despite the roguish talk, their actions were respectful, indicating that they didn't want to offend the woman.

Alex quietly approached and observed. The items handed over to the woman by Hong Fei and the others were special cards. According to Alex's estimate, these people seem to have reestablished a currency system, and these cards serve as currency. As for how to obtain these cards, Alex could roughly guess. It's either through direct exchange or earned through military achievements.

Such practices significantly encourage the motivation of these people. Clearly, the person in charge of the island is a smart individual.

Following Hong Fei and the others, Alex walked towards the interior. Soon, they entered a meeting room, not very large, but already filled with people. Apart from those wearing special uniforms, there were many men and women dressed as ordinary fishermen.

As Hong Fei and the others entered, an elderly man with slightly graying hair, leading the meeting, spoke, "Everyone, the reason we gathered you here today is to discuss a matter."

The room was initially quiet, but as soon as the elderly man spoke, everyone fell silent.

The entire meeting room fell into silence. Clearly, the elderly man commanded great respect. Alex glanced at the speaking elder, realizing that the pressure he felt earlier emanated from this person. Judging from the man's aura, he was undoubtedly formidable. Among the people in the meeting room, a few emitted a subtle pressure that Alex perceived as a threat.

Many of those gathered here were not ordinary individuals.

The elder began speaking, "Everyone knows that the mainland has become a hell on earth. All cities have fallen to zombies, and there's widespread suffering. We are fortunate here! We've managed to survive on this island and sustain ourselves by fishing in the sea. It must be said that we have been favored by the heavens!"

Pausing, the elder looked around at the people, "Because of this, we must unite even more closely, rebuilding the future of our human race!"

"However, we currently face a significant problem. Although we have a secure gathering place, a powerful destroyer, and weapons to protect us, the number of women in our community is insufficient!"

"The imbalance in gender ratio is a substantial concern and could pose a significant obstacle to our future population growth!"

"I've roughly had someone count. On our island, there are now over three hundred men, but women number only around thirty. A staggering ratio of 10 to 1!"

At this point, those individuals sitting on the elder's left side, dressed in ordinary clothes, began to show signs of unease. The looks they cast towards the elder became vigilant.
