Apocalypse Shelter System

Chapter 54: Rivalry for Favor?



"I'll give you one day to draw a map of Baihe New Town and its security system for me," Alex commanded after releasing Ma Chenbin and temporarily deactivating the psychological torment feature of the dungeon. He then threw Ma Chenbin into a cell, gave him a pen and a sheet of paper, and left without looking back.

He was determined to take over the Baihe New Town villa area. It wasn't just about eliminating the threat to City of Darkness; he mainly wanted the mutants and the wealth of resources in that refuge.

Alex was also curious about the mutants. If possible, he considered capturing those doctors as well. Of course, Alex had heard that the affluent Baihe New Town was home to many beautiful women. However, Alex wasn't interested in the mistresses kept by the rich men there, but rather the genuine second-generation beauties. He wouldn't mind making these privileged women his servants.

After leaving the dungeon, Alex got back into the Strangler Armored Vehicle and headed towards the shopping mall gathering area. Now equipped with the Strangler Armored Vehicle, he could conveniently transport Si Ruqing and others back in one trip. The rear compartment of the Strangler Armored Vehicle could fit around ten to fifteen people, or even twenty to thirty if squeezed.

When Alex drove the imposing and domineering Strangler Armored Vehicle, crushing zombies as he entered the mall, he almost scared Si Ruqing and the others witless. They never expected Alex to acquire such an armored vehicle, especially one so monstrously modified. The sight of the vehicle reminded Si Ruqing of the Meat Wagons from the Undead race in the game Warcraft.

But what surprised them even more was that after picking them up, Alex drove them to a city with an ancient castle.

Everyone was stunned by the eerie scene before them. Aside from a retro-style European castle, there were four ominous and terrifying tombs emitting a cold, ghostly light, as if they were gateways to hell. Next to the tombs, littered with zombie corpses, several women wearing masks and gloves stood guard. One of them was even dragging a corpse into a tomb.

This was nothing like the refuge Si Ruqing had imagined, resembling more a devil's playground than a safe haven.

Alex noticed their fearful glances and introduced with a smile, "This is the City of Darkness, my territory. From now on, you will be my servants. Here, you'll receive the best protection, with daily supplies of food and water. Any resources available before the apocalypse won't be lacking here."

"You only have two tasks to complete. First, do everything you can to please me. Absolute obedience and loyalty to me are a must. Second, follow Li Wan-ning's arrangements and take turns burying zombies." Alex pointed to Li Wan-ning, who stood beside him. "It's that simple."

Alex had already assigned the task of burying zombies to Li Wan-ning, who was the most satisfactory and quickest to adapt to the servitude among the women.

"It really is simple..." The two twin girls blinked curiously at the bizarre and somber scene, murmuring, "Although it looks scary, it seems fun here, and it feels very safe."

Si Ruqing, curious, asked, "Why do you bury these zombies? And why wait? Why not bury them all at once?"

At that moment, Li Wan-ning stepped forward with an expressionless face and said, "You just need to do your assigned tasks; there's no need to ask too many questions."

"I believe that having such a safe living environment in the apocalypse, with no worries about food or clothing, and such an easy job, is a tremendous gift for you. So, it's better not to overthink or ask too much. Just focus on doing what you're supposed to do!"

Si Ruqing blushed slightly at Li Wan-ning's words. Being lectured by a younger woman was a bit hard to accept, but she nodded in agreement.

Shen Tingting, who was following behind Li Wan-ning, seemed to sense Si Ruqing's resistance. She smiled slightly and said with a hint of pride, "We are already the master's women, but what about you? It seems you're not there yet, right? Your status is far below ours!"

Si Ruqing's face turned a shade of gray. She had intended to refute, but she found herself at a loss for words.

Since she had already submitted to Alex and become his servant, she had to accept this reality. "Alright, take them downstairs, arrange their accommodations, and set up the schedule for burying the zombies," Alex said. He felt that with the increasing number of women, there was a sense of competition for his favor starting to emerge.

"Master, with so many people arriving at once, the castle might not have enough room to accommodate everyone," said Tang Jingyan with a sense of superiority. "How about this, let the ordinary servants stay on the open ground outside the castle? We can provide them with a few tents to live in. Only those of us who are fortunate enough to be graced by the master's presence can live inside the castle!"

Everyone understood her reference to 'ordinary servants' as those who hadn't served Alex.

Myra, pushing her glasses up, stealthily walked over to Alex and whispered, "Master, I think Jingyan's idea is good. As our numbers grow, we'll need some way to manage everyone. Having a hierarchy like Jingyan suggests seems quite effective..."

Alex nodded in agreement: "Then let's arrange it that way."

Hearing Alex's decision, Si Ruqing felt a tinge of disappointment.

But she understood that these women had been with Alex for a long time; they were Alex's

true companions.

Although they too had become Alex's servants, they hadn't truly become his women.

It was reasonable for Alex to favor his women a bit more.

"If it means I have to use my body to gain status in the castle, I'd rather live in a tent outside!" Si Ruqing thought bitterly.

"I refuse to be shameless like these women! I will earn the respect I deserve in this sanctuary through my own strength!" Si Ruqing silently vowed to herself.

Meanwhile, the other newcomers began to scheme about how to win over Alex and become his women, to enjoy better treatment.

Two twin beauties exchanged glances, biting their lips in silent understanding and nodded to

each other.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

They believed they had a considerable advantage, after all, they had heard that many men liked twin sisters...

Myra bit her lip and lowered her head, murmuring, "Master... um... should I also move outside the castle... When will you..."

At that moment, Alex remembered that due to the disturbance caused by Ma Chenbin and his group, he hadn't had the chance to favor Myra yet.

It seemed that this matter had been weighing on her mind.

"Of course, you don't need to live outside. Tonight, you'll sleep with me," Alex said with a smile, patting Myra's head. "Also, from now on, you'll be in charge of distributing the

supplies in the castle."

Alex then turned to Lin Mancha and Tang Jingyan: "You two will assist her, understood?" "Yes! We will assist Ningning well," the two women obediently responded.

Myra, who appeared gentle and pure, was excited and nodded eagerly: "Master, you can't leave me alone tonight!"

Si Ruqing watched everything in shock, feeling her worldview completely shattered. "Everyone, get back to work. I have things to deal with," Alex said, waving his hand at the

women.

As the number of servants in the City of Darkness increased, Alex felt the need for better

management.

Moreover, the City of Darkness was not very large and couldn't accommodate many people. With so many people suddenly arriving, the City of Darkness seemed livelier.

"It seems necessary to establish a city outside the City of Darkness, to house the ordinary

slaves,"

Alex thought contemplatively.

Also, by establishing a larger city outside, these women could learn to farm.

They could grow fruits and vegetables, or raise poultry and livestock, to improve their diet.

"The school is conveniently surrounded by a wall, but these walls are too low and need to be reinforced," Alex mused to himself as he walked atop the city wall, looking at the perimeter

of the school.

He decided to first clear out the zombies inside the school, then find a way to reinforce the

surrounding walls.

The people he rescued later would be initially housed in the school dormitories.

As for the football field and green spaces, they could be converted into farmland for growing fruits, vegetables, and grains.

However, before implementing this plan, he planned to deal with the group of people in the

warehouse first.

Thinking this, Alex leaped down from the city wall, with the zombies wandering outside

consciously keeping a distance...

Not long after Alex left, Li Wanning began assigning tasks to the new women and organized classes for everyone.

Si Ruqing listened blankly to Li Wanning's self-assured spouting of flawed logic, feeling increasingly powerless.

The strong and proud Si Ruqing struggled to accept this reality, where all the women seemed

to fawn over Alex.

Moreover, they took pride in sleeping with Alex.

The most crucial point was that these women were all so beautiful and elegant, clearly highly

educated and appeared to be top students, rich and beautiful goddesses from affluent backgrounds before the apocalypse.
