Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 40: The Righteous and Beautiful Female Officer

Alex could have easily chosen the second option, annihilating everyone in the gathering place without lifting a finger himself.

He just needed to release a couple of C-level zombies up there, and he could effortlessly wipe out the entire gathering place.

But Alex ultimately didn't do that.

He wanted to establish another gathering place outside the City of Darkness.

In this apocalyptic world, he aspired to build his own kingdom of slaves.

So, he wanted to see if the people in this gathering place were worth sparing.

Watching the arrogant scar-faced man slowly approaching, with the other men behind him looking menacing, Alex suddenly found it all rather uninteresting.

He curled his lip, and just as Alex was about to end this charade, the woman who had brought him up suddenly stepped in front of him.

"Scarface! What do you mean? This is my person. If you want to harm him, you'll have to kill me first!"

The woman removed her helmet, revealing a heroic yet delicate and refined face.

She was a short-haired beauty, with a somewhat androgynous style.

If it weren't for her distinctly prominent feminine features, Alex might have mistaken her for an exceptionally handsome man.

With a melon-seed face, phoenix eyes, a high nose, tightly pressed red lips, and a pair of imposing eyebrows, she exuded a sense of determination and bravery.

It was the first time Alex had seen such a heroic and vigorous beauty, and he couldn't help but feel a bit intrigued by her.

The woman's teammates also raised their weapons, unhesitatingly standing behind her.

The scar on the face of Scarface man wriggled like a centipede, and he gave an awkward smile, saying, "Officer Si, I was just joking. No need to take it so seriously, right?"

It was clear that the scar-faced man was quite fearful of this woman.

"Officer Si, you misspoke just now. What's this about 'your people and my people'? We are all in this together! In such an apocalypse, we can only survive better through unity and unified leadership!" Zhou Zhengyu raised his crossbow, smiling as he tried to smooth things over.

Alex was somewhat surprised to find out that this vigorous and spirited woman was actually a beautiful police officer.

"Interesting."

Alex smirked internally, thinking about the female police uniform he had just taken from Victoria's Secret store.

The woman snorted coldly, then turned and pulled Alex aside, saying, "Little brother, from now on, you follow me, don't mind them! Come, I'll take you to get some supplies."

"Alright!"

Being led by the beautiful female officer and observing her valiant demeanor, Alex suddenly found himself admiring this woman.

Clearly, both Zhou Zhengyu and Scarface were not good people, and their gang was all about bullying the weak and colluding with the corrupt.

The peaceful existence of this gathering place, where the vulnerable were not oppressed, was undoubtedly maintained by the efforts of this beautiful police officer.

It was because of Officer Si's charisma that many people gathered under her leadership.

It had to be said, Officer Si had impressive leadership skills.

"My name is Si Ruqing, a detective from Jiangcheng City's Criminal Police Force. I'm glad to meet you," the female officer said, leading Alex to a makeshift warehouse covered with plastic tarps, introducing herself.

Alex also extended his hand to shake Si Ruqing's, saying expressionlessly, "I'm Alex."

"Hey, why do you act like nothing's wrong all the time? Officer Si just helped you, and you can't even say thank you?" a young girl following behind Si Ruqing said somewhat discontentedly.

Alex sneered internally, "It's you idiots who should be thanking Si Ruqing."

If Si Ruqing had been even a moment later, everyone here would likely have become corpses by now.

"Little Liu, don't talk nonsense!" Si Ruqing scolded the girl, then turned to a short middle-aged man emerging from the warehouse, "Arrange a tent and a sleeping bag for this new brother, and give him three days' worth of food and water."

Hearing Si Ruqing's order, the man in charge of the warehouse seemed conflicted, as if he had something to say but hesitated, yet he eventually turned and entered the warehouse.

Alex curiously peeked inside the warehouse and saw that it was stocked with a lot of food and bottled water.

In addition, there were many clothes and various living supplies, almost everything one could need.

Besides, Alex noticed a tightly closed emergency exit behind the warehouse.

The door was blocked by a metal cabinet and tied with iron chains.

Though it was tightly shut, it was shaking, and there were growling sounds coming from behind it.

Alex narrowed his eyes, this must be the emergency exit leading directly downstairs.

"Oh! This is our supply store! All of these were saved through everyone's efforts! We have enough supplies here to last us for three months!" Si Ruqing explained kindly, noticing Alex looking at the warehouse.

"But if this continues, we'll be in big trouble after three months!" the short man in charge of the warehouse complained as he pushed a cart of items out, reluctantly placing it in front of Alex,

"We're trapped here now, supporting so many idle people. Once the food and water run out, we can only wait to die here!"

As the storekeeper spoke, he glanced disdainfully at Alex, clearly implying that Alex was one of the idle people wasting food and resources.
