Apocalypse Shelter System

Chapter 2: Shelter System



The boy was about to speak, but he was interrupted by an authoritative voice: "Enough, stop arguing! Your way of thinking is wrong! What do you mean by saying Alex saved us? This warehouse belongs to our school, and Alex just had the luck to hide in it earlier! It's the property of the school, not Alex's personal possession, so naturally anyone can take shelter here! At most, Alex just opened the door for us! How can you say that he saved us?"

Terry stood up and righteously scolded the burly boy.

Such shameless words could be spoken so self-righteously by Terry!

Didn't Terry know the situation back then?

Of course, the answer was no.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Everyone present knew that if Alex hadn't opened the door to let them in, they would have been bitten to death by the zombies that swarmed them.

But did that matter? No, it didn't! That was all in the past, and now they were safe.

What mattered now was how to survive better.

Who goes out to die is not important; what is important is that each person can survive better.

A wave of coldness swept through Alex's heart. Terry, in order to justify driving him away, actually uttered such despicable and shameless words, making him feel disgusted.

Since you all dislike me so much, then I'll just leave!

But why must you be like this?

He didn't want to argue or explain anything.

Because he knew that no matter what he said, it would be just meaningless words.

"Fine! I'll go!" Alex stood up, his gaze coldly sweeping over everyone present. He got up without expression and walked towards the door.

What would staying here change anyway?

Could he live even a month longer?

Such a pathetic, meager existence, what was the point?

Alex preferred to take his chances outside, even if he were to be torn apart by zombies, it would be more comfortable than facing these despicable people.

At that moment outside the warehouse, there were no zombies in sight. Alex looked around and, ensuring there were no zombies nearby, cautiously stepped out the door.

However, it was all in vain!

With a "thud", the security door behind him was shut tightly, the loud noise immediately attracting the attention of several aimlessly wandering zombies in the distant corridor!

The two zombies closest to Alex, as if they had spotted the most delicious food, crazily howled and rushed towards him!

"Damn it!" Alex cursed inwardly and without hesitation, fled in the opposite direction. But after just a few steps, a large group of zombies appeared ahead!

Zombies were everywhere!

What should he do?

Alex gripped the iron rod in his hand tightly, growled softly, and charged towards a group of clawing and snapping zombies.

If he was going to die, he'd die heroically!

After knocking down over a dozen zombies, an injured and exhausted Alex finally collapsed to the ground. Watching the increasing number of zombies gathering not far away, a smile of relief spread across his lips.

Killing over a dozen, he had done enough!

However, at that moment, a voice echoed in Alex's mind: "Shelter System successfully bound to host! Would you like to choose to build a city now?"

System?!

Build a city?!

Alex was slightly stunned. Was this a hallucination after being bitten by a zombie?

Seeing the text appearing in front of him like a projection, Alex ultimately chose to build immediately.

With a "rumble", Alex felt as if he heard the sound of something heavy falling, and then he completely lost consciousness.

When Alex woke up again, he found himself in a wooden cabin.

The cabin was not large, only about twenty square meters in size.

Besides the bed he was lying on, there was only a desk and a chair in the cabin.

"Huh? What's going on? Wasn't I being attacked by zombies? And, I was bitten by them too!"

Alex quickly checked the wound on his arm. The area where he had been bitten by the zombie had completely healed, revealing fresh, tender skin.

Alex was astonished to find that not only had he not been infected after being bitten by a zombie, but his injuries had also healed rapidly!

"What is this place? How did I end up here?" Alex asked, frowning.
