Apocalypse Shelter System

Chapter 11: Rescuing People?



Alex frowned slightly and looked towards the source of the light. He saw a group of students gathered at a window, waving towards him from afar. Above their heads was a large sign that read 'SOS'.

Thanks to his enhanced physique, Alex's vision was exceptionally sharp. He could see several students in the window from a distance, both male and female. The males were dressed in basketball attire, while the females wore sexy yoga outfits or dance skirts. These people must have been working out in the gymnasium when the apocalypse erupted.

"Their looks and figures are quite impressive. But as a shut-in, I despise those show-off boys who spend their days flaunting muscles and playing basketball. And these guys even look so handsome!" Alex muttered a curse under his breath, then turned his gaze away, showing no intention of helping them.

"You think you're so cool, always showing off with your basketball and muscles? Now you're asking a shut-in for help? Just fend for yourselves!" With a cold laugh and a middle finger, Alex walked down from the city wall.

The road from there to the gymnasium was infested with hordes of zombies. With his current strength, Alex doubted he could fight his way through for some strangers. Even if there were some attractive women there, it did not pique his interest.

Maybe if his strength became powerful enough to break through the zombie encirclement, Alex might consider taking the risk. For now, he found Li Wan Ning and Shen Tingting quite to his liking. Rescuing too many servants at once would be more than he could manage.

"Shen Tingting, continue keeping watch. Li Wan Ning, come with me to the rest room," Alex commanded as he walked down from the city wall. He beckoned to Li Wan Ning and headed straight into the rest room.

Li Wan Ning's face flushed, and she obediently followed him quickly.

After spending a few comfortable days without shame or agitation, Alex's routine consisted of killing zombies and having the two women serve him in turns. Interestingly, Alex found that as his physique slowly strengthened, some of his abilities also grew stronger. Now, even with both women taking turns, they could hardly keep up with him.

"It's about time to bring Darlene and Myra over," Alex thought, lying comfortably on the wicker chair in the sun, letting Shen Tingting massage his legs, pouting and huffing in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Li Wan Ning was busy burying bodies. In this period, Alex had built two more graves. With four graves operating simultaneously, his attribute points and apocalypse currency grew rapidly.

"System! Display my attribute values!"

[City of Darkness (Basic) Lord's Name: Alex]

[Gender: Male]

[Physique: 80]

[Spirit: 65]

[Strength: 80]

[Endurance: 80]

[Agility: 80]

(Average value for an adult male human is 60)

[Skills: None]

[Items: Sinful Blade (Basic), Spatial Bag (Basic)]

[Apocalypse Currency: 458]

"Now my physical attributes have reached the level of a national first-class athlete!" Alex stood up, swinging his broadsword a few times. The once cumbersome broadsword now felt effortless and even comfortable in his hands.

"Ding dong! Zombie burial complete!"

"8 apocalypse currency added."

"Basic grave emptied. Please bury again."

Hearing the system's prompt, Alex slightly furrowed his brow. Since yesterday, burying ordinary zombie corpses only increased his apocalypse currency, but no longer contributed to his attribute values.

Alex deduced that basic zombies could only elevate his physical attributes to 80, which seemed to be the limit. Zombies capable of enhancing his spirit attribute were rare, so it remained at 65.

As his physical attributes continued to strengthen, ordinary zombies no longer provided any enhancement to his attributes. He needed to find and bury more powerful zombie corpses! "Master! Look! Over at the gymnasium, there are people fighting zombies!" Shen Tingting excitedly pointed towards the distant gymnasium.

Alex looked up in surprise towards the gym. Indeed, it was the same group that had called for his help before. This group, consisting of five men and three women, each armed with some kind of stick-like weapon and dressed in baseball uniforms, were skillfully cooperating to fight their way out.

The lead male was particularly brave. With the support of the other four men, they quickly gained ground in the corridor. They initially aimed to go downstairs but, seeing the dense crowd of zombies below, were forced to head upwards, fighting and retreating, even managing to carry some supplies along.

"These people are quite tough! Master, shouldn't we help them? They look capable, and you could rescue them to serve as your aides. That way, you'd have support when you go out," Li Wan Ning kindly suggested.

Rescue them? This foolish woman.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although Alex was confident that with his current abilities, he could easily rescue these people, why should he? He wasn't a saint, nor was he God, and had no obligation to save

anyone.
