Chapter 146: Stunned
"Alright, before the apocalypse, I stayed at your place for a while. In such times, one should repay kindness. Why don't you both come with me? Stay at my shelter for a couple of days. If you decide to stay, I'll arrange a place for you outside the city. If you don't want to stay, I'll send you back.
What do you think?" Alex looked at his still-stunned uncle and aunt, smiling as he spoke.
Alex's smile appeared sincere and friendly, as if he had transformed into a different person compared to moments ago. One moment he seemed like a devil, and the next, like an angel. It was unpredictable, evoking awe and admiration.
"Siao... Alex, is your shelter far from here? Although I'm not afraid of zombies, your aunt is just an ordinary person. If it's far, I'm afraid it might be dangerous..." Siao Mu's voice trembled as he spoke, cautiously glancing at Alex's expression, fearing to offend his younger cousin and end up losing his head for some inexplicable reason.
"I... I'm fine... with Alex protecting me, I'm not afraid!" Tang Wanxiu was afraid that if her husband declined Alex's invitation, it might change Alex's mind. She hurriedly explained, realizing today's events had exposed her husband's true nature. Following such a coward wouldn't lead to a good life, but with Alex, safety was more assured.
Even if life might be tougher, at least she would be secure and not bullied by others.
"My shelter is indeed a bit far from here, but it's no problem. I brought my car, and I'll drive you there. Don't worry; there won't be any danger," Alex said with a casual smile. In his mind, he spoke to the system, "System, bring the Annihilator Armored Tank over."
[Certainly, Host.]
Hearing the system's response, a faint smile appeared on Alex's lips. He looked at his somewhat dumbfounded uncle and aunt and felt a growing sense of satisfaction.
Next, let them see what true superiority is!
Let them witness what real strength is!
Let them experience the paradise in the apocalypse!
"Alex, is your car safe? Let me tell you, though there aren't many zombies outside now, there are some powerful ones. There are a few robust ones and some with big claws that are very hard to deal with. Regular cars can't withstand these zombies; they get overturned in no time!" Alex's uncle, Siao Mu, expressed his concerns.
Since the apocalypse, he had only left this place two or three times, always staying close to the safety of a large group when venturing out to nearby supermarkets for supplies. The idea of going on a long journey with Alex made him worry, fearing encounters with hordes of zombies that could result in being torn apart.
"Whether it's safe or not, you'll see in a moment. If you still feel unsafe after seeing my car, you're free to reconsider coming with me," Alex said with a light smile. He then extended his hand to them and said, "Uncle, Aunt, let's go. We'll check out my car."
As the two followed Alex outside, a loud rumbling sound echoed from beyond the iron gate. The reinforced gate collapsed instantly, and a massive black armored tank, emitting a ferocious aura, charged in! It resembled a primordial behemoth, exuding tremendous power.
"Oh my goodness! The tank is here! The military has arrived! Run, run!" Siao Mu, was instantly terrified, holding his head and attempting to escape.
However, Alex grabbed him and said, "Don't be afraid. This is just my usual ride."
Alex smiled faintly and waved his hand towards the Annihilator Armored Tank, which had already stopped in front of them. The tank immediately opened the top and rear hatch doors.
"What?!! This is your tank?!" Siao Mu stared in shock at the fearsome super tank before him, then excitedly shouted, "Alex! You're saying this is your tank? This tank looks much more powerful than the military tanks! Where did you get this tank? Why haven't I seen it before?
What model is it?"
"So cool! It's truly amazing! A real armored tank! It's even bigger and more badass than Germany's 'Leopard 2A7'! What... what's the armor made of?
It's so imposing! I bet even armor-piercing rounds can't penetrate this tank!"
Alex knew that Siao Mu was a military enthusiast, particularly fascinated by tanks. Seeing Siao Mu exploring the tank with excitement, Alex kept silent. Tang Wanxiu quickly approached and pulled her husband, saying, "Siao Mu, what are you still dawdling for? Get in the car! Don't keep Alex waiting too long!"
"Alright, alright! I never thought I, Siao Mu, would get to ride in such an amazing tank in my lifetime! It's fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! This is truly a dream come true!"
As Siao Mu spoke, he continued to gaze in admiration at the Annihilator Armored Tank, muttering to himself in excitement.
As Tang Wanshuo looked at Alex, a hint of surprise and admiration appeared in her eyes. "Yes... Alex is really amazing. He even managed to get a tank... With this tank, we can dominate the wasteland... We are truly fortunate to have met Alex.
It's a blessing from our past lives."
Listening to Tang Wanshuo's praise and seeing the complex expression in her eyes, Alex smiled faintly and walked up to the top cover, sitting in the Executioner armored tank.
With a rumble, the tracks of the Executioner armored tank started, lifting a large piece of dirt from the ground as it headed straight out of the compound.
Alex drove the tank in a domineering manner, paying no attention to whether there was a road ahead, and drove straight into the wall.
This scared Tang Wanshuo and her husband, causing them to scream in fear.
"Alex! Be careful, there's a wall ahead. If you damage the car..." Xiao Mu's words were cut off as the tank plowed through the wall, reducing it to rubble.
"Alex! Watch out, there are so many zombies and cars ahead..." Xiao Mu continued to shout in fear, but before he could finish, they heard an explosion.
The zombies and cars blocking the road ahead were all turned to dust, and a huge shockwave sent the surrounding zombies flying.
"Shut up! Alex is driving. When is it your turn to talk nonsense!" Tang Wanshuo looked at Alex with admiration and disgust as she reprimanded her husband.
Xiao Mu swallowed hard and looked at his younger brother with awe in his eyes. Scolded by his own wife, he was too scared to speak.
However, the scene that appeared before them next left them stunned, their heads spinning. The way they looked at Alex was as if they were seeing a god!
