Chapter 205: The Plea
Explosions of this magnitude had occurred a few times before, but they were usually brief, with just a few sounds before stopping. This time was entirely different. The explosions were continuous, as if they were the aftermath of an intense battle.
"Towards the direction of Demon City," Gu, with his ears against the ground, listened intently and then picked up binoculars to observe the northeast. He spoke after a moment, "It can be reasonably concluded that the battle is happening in the direction of Demon City, and the weapons used are likely similar to 130mm high-explosive shells."
Hearing Gu's report, Alex was slightly stunned, impressed by Gu's extraordinary abilities. Being able to deduce the type of shells used by the enemy from such a distance was quite remarkable, showcasing Gu's military knowledge.
"I wonder if the explosion at the nuclear power plant will have any impact on the situation in Demon City," Alex murmured, gazing towards Demon City, lost in thought.
Such intense fighting undoubtedly indicated a large-scale military engagement. What exactly had happened over there?
Alex's next goal was to go to Demon City to find A-level zombies for burial. The recent explosions made him sense that the situation in Demon City might be complex.
While Alex was contemplating, Shen Han suddenly pointed towards the direction of the main gate of the base shelter and said, "Master, the members of the resource collection team have returned! It seems they've brought back a convoy!"
Alex turned to look at the gate of the base shelter, and indeed, behind the resource collection team was a long convoy. Alex roughly counted around ten vehicles, with a heavily modified large mining bulldozer leading the way.
The enormous tracked wheels and the domineering bulldozer blade were even more imposing than Alex's Executioner armored vehicle.
The convoy of the resource collection team and the newly arrived convoy stopped outside the main gate of the base shelter. Soon after, a report came through Alex's walkie-talkie from Peng Le: "Master, while collecting supplies in the new district of Jiangcheng, we encountered a group of survivors who fled from Demon City.
They want to form an alliance with us and establish a new shelter next to ours."
Alex frowned slightly; he couldn't allow others to sleep soundly by his side. Not to mention forming an alliance, at this point, even if these people wanted to leave, it was impossible. Why spit out the meat that had reached his lips?
However, this group of people seemed interesting, and since they had escaped from Demon City, Alex saw an opportunity to gather information for his next campaign against Demon City.
"Let them rest nearby for now. Bring their leader to see me," Alex ordered through the walkie-talkie.
"Yes!" Peng Le put down the walkie-talkie and spoke to the man who had come down from a large off-road vehicle.
Afterwards, Alex saw the new convoy turning its head and stopping at a mountainous area nearby. The person who had just spoken with Peng Le, accompanied by a woman and a few well-dressed men, walked into the base shelter.
Meanwhile, others from the convoy started unloading various supplies and began setting up various defenses on the hillside next to the convoy, cooking and organizing in an orderly manner.
Taking the binoculars handed over by Gu, Alex took a brief look. There were about fifty people in this group, men and women, with clear divisions of labor. Each person carried weapons, and Alex even spotted a few light armored vehicles in the convoy, equipped with machine guns and rocket launchers.
"Master, take a look!" Gu pointed towards the mountain pass again.
Two Type 99 main battle tanks slowly approached the base shelter, exuding a formidable and intimidating presence.
The background of this group of people was far from simple. Alex was surprised to find that, in addition to being well-equipped, they even had armored tanks. Although the combat capabilities of these main battle tanks couldn't compare with his Exterminator armored tank in the post-apocalyptic world, having such powerful heavy weapons was already impressive.
As Peng Le led a few individuals into the command center, Alex's figure flashed, reappearing in the office of the command center. Hearing a knock on the door, Alex casually said, "Come in."
With the opening of the door, Alex saw a tall man with a resolute face and sharp features walking in first. Following him was an extremely elegant and beautiful woman.
The woman wore a clean white long dress, her skin was fair, and her silky hair was elegantly tied up, exuding an indescribable noble and refined temperament. It was as if she was a goddess-like older sister that one might see on television.
Upon seeing the woman's face, Alex's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the goddess-like older sister he had seen in that TV series? Although Alex only watched TV shows for the plot and didn't follow celebrities, the impression of this "goddess sister" was still vivid in his memory.
After entering the room, the goddess sister, Liu Feifei, smiled slightly at Alex. However, in her eyes, a hint of disdain and wariness couldn't be concealed.
Of course, the handsome man beside the goddess sister, Liu Feifei, also noticed the look in Alex's eyes. However, he had become accustomed to such gazes, even feeling proud about it. After all, Liu Feifei was the dream lover of many men before the apocalypse.
Now, this dream lover, the goddess sister who was once a national sweetheart, has become his newlywed wife!
How many men dreamt of this, but he achieved it.
How could he not be proud? How could he not be proud?
This time, he intentionally brought his wife, Liu Feifei, along for negotiation talks to flaunt it.
Seeing the surprised look on Alex's face filled him with pride and superiority.
"Hahaha!" The handsome man laughed heartily, striding towards Alex. As he walked, he extended his hand and said, "Hello, Alex! I'm Ke Wenhua, the captain of the third squadron of the first battalion of the city defense forces in Mo City. And this is my wife, the famous movie star Liu Feifei! Nice to meet you!"
Liu Feifei gave a faint smile, somewhat reluctantly saying, "Hello, Alex! Nice to meet you!"
Alex smiled calmly, standing up and extending his hand towards Ke Wenhua, "I'm also pleased to meet both of you."
After shaking hands with Ke Wenhua, Alex turned his gaze to Liu Feifei again, "Miss Liu, the TV series 'Heroic Legend' that you acted in years ago is one of my favorites. It's truly an honor to meet you in person today."
Liu Feifei frowned slightly, looking at the hand extended by Alex. With an awkward smile, she reluctantly reached out and shook hands with Alex, saying, "Thank you for your compliment, Alex..."
Although she said that, in her heart, she felt a strong aversion to such social interactions.
