Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 234: Exploration Journey

With everything in order, Alex turned to Chong Meng and said, "Chong Meng, bring the corpse retrieval team from Jiangcheng and the materials collection team from the base shelter over here. Starting today, explore the surroundings, examine the terrain, collect supplies, gather bodies of mutated zombies, and additionally, capture survivors in Magic City."

Alex currently had two corpse retrieval teams.

One was led by Xiao Lang Pipi, leading the first corpse retrieval team. Discover exclusive tales on m,v l'e-NovelFire

The other was led by Gu, leading the second corpse retrieval team.

Both teams consisted entirely of the Untainted mutated people.

Xiao Lang Pipi controlled the initial Puppet Warrior team that Alex formed, with around thirty-something mutated Puppet Warriors, all composed of Untainted.

Gu, on the other hand, commanded the elite warriors within the base shelter.

They numbered around a hundred.

These individuals had also become Untainted puppets, under Alex's absolute control.

Given the current situation in Magic City, Alex planned to establish a third corpse retrieval team consisting of female puppet warriors.

Magic City occupied vast territory, the situation was highly complex, and there were a large number of zombies. Moreover, the zombie levels were much higher than those in Jiangcheng City.

The two corpse retrieval teams seemed a bit underpowered.

According to Alex's plan, the third corpse retrieval team would be most suitable for Qianqian and Sijiaoqing to lead.

However, Sijiaoqing was not a mutated person, and Alex felt a bit uneasy sending her out.

Currently, there were still many enslaved women in the city who were not mutated, they were ordinary humans.

As for Professor Yang's progress, although there has been some development, the success rate has not surpassed 80%. While Alex is willing to invest in transforming the Untainted into mutated individuals, he is hesitant to risk his enslaved women in the process. These women are loyal to him, and each one is already his possession; losing any of them would be distressing for Alex.

"For now, let's dispatch two corpse retrieval teams," Alex decided after some contemplation, choosing not to expand the teams at the moment.

"Understood!" Gun Dream respectfully acknowledged, turning to mobilize the corpse retrieval teams.

Watching the two teams get ready and head in different directions towards Magic City filled Alex with anticipation. A completely unexplored new city awaits, with more mutated zombies, abundant resources, and, of course, additional survivors!

Every unexplored territory is full of mystery and the unknown. There, one might encounter surprises or face significant dangers. It is precisely the element of the unknown that makes Alex eagerly look forward to each uncharted area!

Watching the corpse retrieval team leave his sight, Alex nodded in satisfaction. He turned and entered the Annihilator Armor Tank, taking out the glass container containing the embryo of the Evil Whale King.

Inside the container, the embryo of the Evil Whale King was even clearer now. Alex could even see slight movements, resembling a baby slowly awakening. Alex intended to give this embryo to Yang Zhimei for research, hoping it could hatch.

Exiting the Annihilator Armor Tank, Alex was momentarily stunned by the unexpected scene before him. Li Wanning, with a sly smile, appeared with a short-haired, beautiful young girl by her side. The girl's face was full of teasing expressions.

Wearing a tasteful black dress, the girl was somewhat slender, but her skin was fair and delicate. With delicate facial features, red lips, and white teeth, she exuded a pure and beautiful temperament.

Despite her short hair and slight frame, the overall aura of the girl was incredibly pure and beautiful. She was a high-potential beauty!

Alex smiled as he appraised the girl, expressing admiration in his eyes. He questioned Li Wanning beside him, unsure of where she had found this beautiful young girl.

"What's this?" Alex asked with some doubt, not knowing where Li Wanning had found this beautiful girl.

"Alex, it's me, Little Red," the girl's voice spoke out, and it was only then that Alex recognized her.

It was Xiao Hong!!

This revelation left Alex somewhat dumbfounded!

The difference in this person before and after is just too immense...

Alex looked at Xiao Hong with some disbelief, his gaze causing her to blush. She seemed shy, as if wanting to bury herself in a hole.

After taking a bath and undergoing a transformation by Li Wanning and others, Xiao Hong had completely transformed, appearing as if she were a different person. Not only was she pure and beautiful, but she also exuded a different kind of charm.

"Alex, now... would you be willing to accept me?" Xiao Hong, regaining her confidence from Alex's gaze, bit her lip, looked at him shyly, and asked with affectionate eyes.

Alex couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, giving Xiao Hong a playful pat on the head.

"Little girl, you're only 16. What are you thinking about all day? You're too thin; go eat more and grow properly."

To be honest, Alex really liked Xiao Hong. Not just because she looked beautiful now, but mainly due to her good personality and values. Alex found Xiao Hong's character quite satisfying. Moreover, Xiao Hong's loyalty indicator showed that she had been completely enslaved, reaching 100%. This was the first time Alex encountered someone with 100% loyalty upon entering the City of Darkness.

It seemed that Xiao Hong's love for him was genuine.

For such a sincere girl who loved him, Alex planned to train her well and then take her under his control.

"Xiao Hong, you also have superpowers. Why have you never used your abilities? What is your superpower?" Alex asked curiously, looking at the shy Xiao Hong.

No matter how much Alex liked Xiao Hong's personality, he didn't want idle people around him. Even Xiao Hong would have to work for him in the future. Alex wouldn't engage in romance with Xiao Hong; she would be treated like Li Wanning and others, serving him as a female slave.

Perhaps due to Alex's bias against women, he believed that being too kind to women would harm them, making them take advantage without knowing limits. On the other hand, being a bit domineering would make these women love and worship him more.

With her head lowered, Xiao Hong thought for a moment, and with a slightly embarrassed expression, she said, "Alex, I... I don't know what my superpower is... but I can fight for you! Rest assured, I will follow the arrangements of my sisters! I can do what everyone else can do!"

Xiao Hong spoke with determination and resilience.

In her eyes that looked towards Alex, there was anticipation. She cared a lot about Alex's evaluation and approval, fearing his dissatisfaction or rejection. For some reason, she cared so much about every action and word of Alex; his every sentence made her anxious.

This young girl experiencing her first feelings of love didn't realize that she had deeply fallen for Alex. She thought it was just admiration for her idol, Alex.

Alex patted the soft black hair of the young girl again and smiled, saying, "Then help out here for now, learn from your sisters, and also try to explore what your superpower might be."

After saying this, Alex pinched Xiao Hong's face, who was looking at him expectantly, then turned and left with a smile. Stepping into the magical folding space, Alex's figure appeared in City of Darkness No. 2.

Returning to City of Darkness No. 2 made Alex's eyes light up. Qian Qian and Miao Miao were busy directing the women in the estate. The entire estate was well organized.

The young girl, Lan Si Ruo, was fishing by the pond. Soon, she caught a plump big crucian carp, and the cat-eared girl Lan Si Ruo danced excitedly. When she saw Alex, she blushed with shyness. Biting her lip with her small tiger teeth, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Approaching her, Alex touched Lan Si Ruo's cat ears and said with a smile, "Lan Lan, your fishing skills have improved a lot." Lan Si Ruo, thinking that Alex would scold her for slacking off, was surprised that he showed no signs of reproach. She couldn't help but rub against Alex happily, excitedly saying, "Dear, I'll personally cook braised crucian carp for you later!"

Qian Qian and the others joyfully ran over, surrounding Alex and acting coquettish. "Dear, stay with us tonight. We missed you so much during these days you were away!" Qian Qian, who had become even more enchanting lately, was particularly tempting. Nana, on the other hand, looked at Alex with a face full of infatuation, full of anticipation.

These past few days without Alex, they all missed him terribly.

The group of women had become accustomed to Alex playing with them from time to time, and not seeing Alex for a day made them feel uneasy.

"All right, all right. Tonight, I'll stay and accompany you. But I have some important matters to attend to right now. I'll come find you later. You girls, go get ready," Alex said.

Just as Alex was planning to enter the basement to find Professor Yang, she walked out with large strides. Upon seeing Alex, she glared at him with a playful expression, then ran up and hugged him, giving him a kiss. She said with a hint of complaint, "Have you been so busy lately? You haven't come to see me. Tonight, you're not allowed to leave!"

Alex had originally planned to spend the night with these mutant beast-women. He also intended to invite Yang Zhimei to join them.

"Sure, Zhimei. Tonight, I'll discuss some biology research knowledge with you," Alex replied.

Professor Yang's face brightened with a sweet and expectant smile. However, her expression soon turned serious. She said earnestly, "My master, Coco seems to be in trouble. Recently, Coco has become very weak and started spinning silk. Now, she has turned into a cocoon. I suspect Coco might be evolving again!"
