Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 58: I Promise You!

"Why do you ask such a foolish question when you know I would never treat you that way?" Alex asked with a hint of amusement, then said indifferently, "I came to see you today for the same reason as last time. Do you want to come with me to my shelter? There are many people there, and plenty of food and water."

"What are your conditions? Can you not force me? Fellow student... I... I have a cleanliness obsession... I really don't like men touching me...

And... And I am your teacher... This isn't right..." Lu Yuruo murmured.

Alex, uninterested in further idle talk with Lu Yuruo, said directly, "This is your last chance. If you want, I will take you with me now. If you don't, I won't come looking for you again!"

After saying this, Alex looked coldly at Lu Yuruo.

"Then, can you stay and chat with me more... After all, we don't have any feelings for each other..." The strong-willed and proud professor, Lu Yuruo, finally lowered her head.

She had been trapped here alone for too long.

For her, it was more about needing someone to care for her and talk to her.

This loneliness and isolation made Lu Yuruo feel like life was worse than death.

Alex somewhat understood Lu Yuruo's feelings, knowing that her defenses had reached the brink of collapse.

He stepped forward and gently took Lu Yuruo's hand, saying, "Professor Lu, what's the difference between living here alone and being in prison? Even if you have food and water now, how long can you hold out? Six months? And what about after that? Will you just stay in this room alone for the next six months?"

Lu Yuruo shuddered at the thought of such a scenario, but still insisted, "Maybe someone will come to rescue us soon!"

"Really? It's been almost three months. Have you seen anyone else come to rescue you, besides me?"

Alex coldly said, "Even if someone really does come, can you be sure they won't have ill intentions towards you? With me, only I can have you, and you can live safely and freely in my shelter with many of my women. If you're caught by others, you might not even have the choice and could just become their plaything."

"This is your last chance. My time is precious, and I don't want to waste it on useless talk with you! I'm giving you three more minutes to think, I hope you make a good decision."

After saying this, Alex turned to look towards the door, no longer paying attention to Lu Yuruo.

He knew that if he wanted to, he could probably win her over by spending time and comforting Lu Yuruo.

But Alex had no interest in doing so.

Lu Yuruo was a great woman, both in appearance and character.

However, Alex's patience with her was limited.

To him, even the most outstanding woman was just a plaything.

"I agree to your terms!" Just as Alex turned to leave, Lu Yuruo finally mustered all her courage and shouted these words at Alex.

Alex turned, slightly surprised. He had thought Lu Yuruo would still refuse him.

But in the end, she agreed.

Lu Yuruo turned and walked into the bedroom, with tears in her eyes, she said softly to Alex, "Come..."

Alex's lips curved into a slight smile, a mischievous grin on his face. He stepped forward and took Lu Yuruo's hand: "I don't need that for now. Just come back with me, and when I'm interested, I'll find you again."

Alex felt some aversion to Lu Yuruo's reluctant demeanor and, additionally, he did not want to engage in such interesting activities here.

He planned to clean up the school and then, with the women from the City of Darkness, perform an exciting role-play in the classroom where Lu Yuruo once taught. He wanted to recapture that old feeling and fulfill the dreams he had only dared to fantasize about in his heart.

"Thank you..." Lu Yuruo, somewhat bewildered, let out a long sigh of relief, thinking Alex had a change of heart and spared her. She gratefully looked at Alex and said, "I knew you weren't that kind of person, I knew you were good..."

Alex sneered internally: "In a couple of days, you'll see what kind of person I am!"

Seeing Lu Yuruo being loaded into the armored vehicle, other survivors began to plead loudly with Alex. Even a male teacher in the faculty dormitory desperately cried out to Alex, "Friend! Save us! My wife is very attractive, she's really skilled! Please save us! We're running out of food!"

Alex looked up, pointed at the surrounding zombies, and said, "If you're out of food, go find some! Haven't you noticed that the zombies around us don't attack us? Zombies have changed; they don't attack people anymore! You can safely come out."

After saying this, Alex sneered coldly, climbed into the armored vehicle, and drove away.

Hearing Alex's words, the survivors in the dormitory fell silent. They thought that the zombies might not dare to attack that man because of something special about him. But the fact that the zombies didn't attack Professor Lu Yuruo was inexplicable. Could it be true that the zombies had changed? That they no longer attacked humans?

The male teacher suddenly mustered great courage, took a kitchen knife, and slowly approached the door...

Wails of despair echoed from the faculty dormitory and the male students' dormitory...

Alex brought Lu Yuruo into the City of Darkness, and casually checked her loyalty level.

—75%.

Although not high, it was not too bad for a newcomer. Alex planned to use Lu Yuruo as a test case to see how loyalty levels would increase when confined in the City of Darkness.

With everything nearly arranged, Alex once again got into the 'Strangler' armored vehicle and rushed towards Lily New Town.

Approaching Lily New Town at a distance of about a hundred meters, Alex parked the Strangler armored vehicle in a hidden spot and then exited the vehicle to walk towards Lily New Town.

Checking the time, it was noon, and there weren't many wandering zombies around. Plus, with the clear weather, breaking into Lily New Town recklessly could easily lead to being spotted.

Lily New Town had a security system. Although the electricity grid in Jiangcheng City was completely paralyzed, according to Ma Chenbin's description, the solar power systems installed on each household's rooftop in Lily New Town could still meet the daily electricity needs and maintain the security system.

So, Alex decided to hunt some Class C zombies in the area and wait until nightfall to infiltrate.

Nightfall.

Using the blueprint provided by Ma Chenbin, Alex found a surveillance blind spot and leaped into the villa area with a sprint.

Lily New Town, being the only golf villa area in Jiangcheng City, was impressively maintained. Not only was the landscaping beautifully done, but the security was also top-notch.

The iron fence wall he had just crossed was six meters high. If Alex's physical condition hadn't reached the peak of human capability, it would have been difficult to overcome.

Moreover, atop these iron fences, high-voltage barbed wire had been installed!

Some wandering zombies accidentally touched the iron fence and were instantly electrocuted and thrown back!

"Damn, it's good to be rich, even in the apocalypse they can still use electricity!" Alex couldn't help but curse under his breath as he looked at the electrified fence.

"Once I take over this place, I'll have people move these solar power systems!" Alex was already thinking about how to relocate these solar power systems.

Although he was living a king-like life in the City of Darkness, as a modern person who was extremely dependent on electronics, he still felt very uncomfortable.

After passing through a green belt, Alex first saw an artificial lake, and there were actually people enjoying themselves in the cooling area by the lake!

Due to the dim lighting, Alex had to get closer to realize that this wasn't leisure at all!

It was clearly a man and a woman indulging in pleasure!

Alex took out the map, followed a dark path to avoid the leisure area by the lake, and arrived at the residential area in the west.

This area had been occupied by Ma Chenbin's Prince Gang after the apocalypse. Alex noticed that the western residential area seemed relatively quiet. Only two or three villas had lights on; the rest were dark and showed no signs of activity.

Alex bypassed the guards at the main entrance and leaped into the most luxurious villa. Climbing up to the brightly lit third-floor balcony along the wall, he peeked inside from a dark corner near the balcony.

There were more than twenty people!

Mostly men, with only a few women!

"Hasn't Chenbin come back yet?" A tall, imposing middle-aged man asked displeasedly, looking around at the group of young people who were bowing their heads.

This middle-aged man bore some resemblance to Ma Chenbin and Alex had seen his picture in the news before the apocalypse; he was a powerful figure in Jiangcheng.

Clearly, this man was Ma Chenbin's father.

Beside him stood a distinguished lady and a tall, young, and beautiful woman.

The distinguished lady appeared anxious and worried, while the young woman was expressionless, seemingly lost in thought.

The young men addressed, after exchanging looks, said, "Master Ma, Bin might have been delayed by some fun matter..."

"Don't worry, sir. Bin brought so many brothers this time, and they have guns and modified vehicles. There shouldn't be any trouble."

The middle-aged man walked a few steps with a frown, then coldly huffed, "Such recklessness! This is the apocalypse; there are monsters everywhere! What if they encounter those mutated beasts? First thing tomorrow morning, you go out and bring him back!"

"Yes!" the young men responded in unison.

The middle-aged man then turned and left with his group.

As soon as he left, the remaining youths became anxious.

"What if Bin got into trouble this time on his revenge mission?"

"Impossible! With so many brothers and all those modified vehicles and firearms, even if the other party is cunning, they are as good as dead!"

"I heard there are many beautiful college girls in that city. Maybe Bin is having too much fun there? After all, no one outside can control him..."

"Possible!"

Alex listened for a while and realized these people weren't very worried about Ma Chenbin and his group's disappearance. He then turned, jumped down from the building, and stealthily moved into the eastern villa area under the cover of night.
