Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

The housewife handling miscellaneous tasks excitedly spoke into the intercom, "Listen to this!"

"Zzz... We are glad to have made contact with you! Zzz... Our rescue team will be there soon to save you!... Zzz... In three days, we guarantee that you will safely reach our gathering place!

We hope you can patiently wait at your current location... Zzz..."

"That's great! That's wonderful! We're all going to be saved!" Another young girl, who was responsible for customer service, shouted excitedly.

While Feng Ningning and the others were discussing, the housewife and the customer service girl had been continuously changing channels, trying to connect with the people from the organization mentioned in the helicopter broadcast.

They clearly didn't believe the person who had promised to rescue them over the intercom just now.

They didn't think an ordinary man could save them!

This was the apocalypse!

Zombies were everywhere outside!

And they were on the 12th floor of a high-rise building!

Without an elevator and with all the stairwells filled with zombies!

The idea that a regular man could come to rescue them was simply a fantasy!

Only the organization and the military could save them!

And now, they had actually made contact!

"Yes! Now there is hope! Since it's people from the organization who are coming to save us, we will definitely be rescued! If their helicopter stops outside our window and uses a ladder to get us onto the helicopter, many problems will be solved! Moreover, the gathering place established by the organization must be safer and more formal.

We should be able to receive better treatment and protection there!" Lu Yingying's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"But... what do we do about the man who's coming to save us?" The Ukrainian model Margaret furrowed her brows, "He's coming from far away, risking his life to save us... Are we going to stand him up?"

"Hahaha! Are you still thinking about that foolish man?" the housewife scoffed with a mocking face: "You foreign women are adorably naive!"

"Do you really think that man could make it here?" the customer service girl also sneered: "Look around! This is the apocalypse! Zombies are everywhere outside! The roads are blocked! How is he supposed to rescue us? Coming here would be like a suicide mission!"

"We're on the 12th floor! The stairwells are full of zombies!! Without a helicopter, even if that man really made it here, we couldn't get out! Stop being so naive!" Lu Yingying shared the same opinion.

She completely disregarded her earlier desperate pleas to the man on the intercom to come and save them.

How could it be possible?

How could an ordinary man possibly make his way through a zombie-infested city to rescue them?

Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that coming here would be akin to a death sentence!

Lu Yingying had hoped earlier that this man was a brave warrior who could perform miracles.

But now, she had categorically labeled him as a fool, an idiot, a simpleton!

"Only people from the organization can save us! As for that stupid man, let's not worry about him! He's either lying to us or already dead on the way here, torn to pieces by zombies!" the housewife declared confidently.

Having made contact with someone from the organization, she now considered herself a major contributor among the group.

Her attitude became much more arrogant and overbearing than before.

"But what if... I mean, if... if that man really does come to save us, what should we do?" Nan Nan asked, blinking her innocent eyes.

Her question instantly plunged the other six women in the room into silence...

Just then, there was a knock on the door at the staircase entrance.

Their intercom also rang at this moment: "Zzz... Open the door, I'm outside, I've come to save you..."

...

Total bewilderment!

The seven women were completely stunned on the spot!

Especially Lu Yingying, the housewife, and the customer service girl.

They had just been adamantly asserting that the man was either deceiving them or already dead.

But now, not only had he not deceived them, but he had also actually arrived safely!

"What should we do?" Nan Nan asked anxiously, "Should we go open the door?"

"Don't open the door! Don't even bother with him!" Lu Yingying quickly stopped Nan Nan, who was about to open the door: "We don't know who this person is, and even if he managed to get here, how can he protect so many of us to escape?"

"Right! Let's just patiently wait here for the rescue from the organization at the Fourth People's Hospital!" the housewife also hurriedly added: "The organization is definitely stronger and more reliable than this man!"

"But! He risked his life to come all this way to save us, even if we don't want to go with him, shouldn't we at least say something to him? Or let him come in and sit down! We should thank him!" Dariya said with evident displeasure: "The way you're behaving... as you people say, isn't that being ungrateful and heartless?!"

"What do you know?!!" the housewife scolded sharply: "We don't know what this man's intentions are. What if he has bad intentions towards us? What if he forces us or captures us against our will? This is the apocalypse! There are all kinds of people out there!"

"Yeah! We've already made contact with the people from the organization, so it's best just to wait here calmly for rescue. Why should we bother with this trouble?!" the customer service girl also hurriedly agreed: "Don't let your misplaced compassion put us all in danger!"

"Open the door... Can you hear my voice?... Zzz... If you don't open the door soon, I'll leave." The man's voice came through the intercom again.

Suddenly, Feng Ningning stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "I'll go open the door for him! Compared to the vague promises from the organization, I find this man who has actually come to us more reliable!"

"I think so too! If he managed to get here, he must be extraordinary! If he really wanted to harm us, couldn't he just break the door down?" Dariya also stood up in support of Feng Ningning.

"Anyway, I think we should let him come in and sit down, and have a proper talk with him," Nan

Nan also agreed: "After all, he came here sincerely to save us!"

The door opened.

The seven women saw a man with a knife walk in from the stairway's door.

The man was clean, with no signs of having been in battle.

His clothes were all high-end brands and looked brand new.

His hair was neat and tidy, indicating he had recently had a haircut.

His face was free of the unkempt beard typical of men in the apocalypse.

He was spotlessly clean.

He was even wearing an expensive Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist.

Judging by his appearance, this man seemed to be living quite comfortably in this apocalyptic world!

The man walked in.

The door to the stairway was closed again.
