Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System

Chapter 7: Teaming Up,

Then, a sharp pain shot through his left shoulder.

"Ahhh!! It hurts so much!"

He grimaced in pain, clutching his left arm with his right hand.

Alex's face was icy, holding a gun at the office door, the barrel emitting a faint heat.

"Dare to touch my people?!"

Alex's voice was low as he fired another shot, hitting the man's left thigh.

Tears streamed down the man's face from the pain, unsure which wound to cover, he could only plead on the ground.

"Dad, I was wrong! I was wrong! I haven't touched her yet, spare me! I'll do anything for you!"

Alex remained expressionless.

"Calling me 'Dad' won't help you."

The man's face was filled with fear, trembling all over.

"Yes yes yes, you're my ancestor! You're my forefather! An ancestor punishing his descendant, that's only right! Please have mercy, spare me!!"

Alex listened to the frantic words, feeling annoyed.

Thinking of how he almost laid hands on Mia, for some reason, his emotions spiraled out of control.

"You talk too much."

Alex raised the gun, turning him into a sieve.

Watching the man fall to the ground with a face full of disbelief and fear, motionless for a long time, it was only after a while that Alex came back to his senses.

Then, he walked over to the panicked Mia, rolling his eyes.

"You're not dead, are you?"

Mia burst into tears.

Growing up, she had never encountered such a situation before.

Thinking of how she had almost been violated just now, her heart couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

Alex remained silent.

Waiting until Mia's throat was hoarse from crying.

Alex untied the ropes for her, took out a set of clean clothes, placed them nearby, and then walked out of the office.

"The clothes you were wearing before are ruined, put on the new ones."

Alex walked downstairs to the abandoned supermarket and collected everything in the yellow backpack.

There wasn't much of value, far inferior to his own belongings.

Mia, now in the new clothes, walked out of the abandoned supermarket and joined Alex.

Alex took out ten portions of water and food from the backpack.

Mia frowned.

"What do you mean by this?"

Alex shrugged, saying, "Letting you go. But whether you live or die afterwards, it depends on your luck."

Before Mia could respond, Alex left the abandoned supermarket without looking back.

Encountering two people within three days, it indicated that the place was no longer safe, and there might be more players coming in the future.

He had no choice but to leave.

As for Mia, Alex couldn't care too much.

Leaving behind some supplies, at least it could help her survive a few more days, which could be considered as fulfilling his moral obligation.

Alex walked away without looking back.

The next moment, he heard footsteps behind him.

After multiple upgrades, Alex's physical abilities had undergone a qualitative leap.

Sounds he couldn't hear before, he could now capture them all.

Turning around, Alex saw someone following him about thirty or forty meters away—it was Mia.

Alex lowered his gun and walked back towards her.

Seeing Alex noticing her, Mia also started walking back towards him.

Alex couldn't understand what the other party wanted to do, so he let her follow.

The two maintained this way of moving for half a day.

During the noon break, when they stopped for supplies, Alex heard Mia's scream from behind.

Alex hurriedly rushed back.

Mia's feet were a bit sore from following for so long.

But if she stopped, she would quickly fall behind, so she had no choice but to keep up.

Finally, when Alex sat down to rest, Mia also managed to sit down as she wished.

But as soon as she sat down, she noticed a zombie staggering towards them.

Mia had to run forward, only to collide with Alex who had rushed over.

Alex directly shot the zombie in the head.

A few more zombies were attracted, but they were also suppressed with firepower.

After dealing with the zombies, Mia wanted to leave, but Alex held her back, looking somewhat helpless.

"You've been following me all this way, how much longer do you plan to keep following? Come, let's have lunch together."

And so, the two sat on a grassy mound, quietly eating lunch.

Watching Mia, who was now eating slowly and calmly compared to her previous wolfing down, Alex couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Mia, you've been following me all this way, what exactly do you want to do? Today you were lucky to encounter few zombies, but if you run into a horde next time, I won't be able to look after you."

Mia didn't directly answer, instead asking, "Are your words from before still valid?"

"What words?" Alex asked.

Mia said, "The ones about joining you, and you having to protect me and provide me with three meals a day. You're not going to back out now, are you?"

Alex chuckled upon hearing this.

"Weren't you willing to die rather than agree to that before? Now you're following me just for this?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Mia raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"So, are they still valid or not?" she pressed.

Alex shrugged and sent a team and contract signing request to Mia.

"Of course, they're valid."

[Team Formation Successful!]

[Master-Servant Contract Successfully Signed!]

In the instant the team was formed, all of each other's personal information became visible.

Within the team system, players have features like location tracking, internal voice chat, and the option to selectively share experience points with teammates, while still being unable to harm each other.

The master-servant contract added a powerful constraint on top of this.

When the master dies, so does the servant.

When the master lives, so does the servant.

Only the master has the right to dissolve the contract.

Alex looked at Mia and said with a smile, "Dr. Mia, try calling me 'master' and see how it sounds."

Mia gave him a disdainful look.

She couldn't bring herself to say those two words.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two continued on their way.

They proceeded cautiously, but fortunately didn't encounter any major dangers along the road.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

After three gunshots, Alex took down three zombies, then gestured towards the rear.

Seeing this, Mia immediately jogged over to Alex's side.

"Alex, how much farther do we have to go?"
