Chapter 71: We Shall Become Saviors!
Leaping down from the city wall, Alex took out the firearms and ammunition he had seized from his spatial bag. Myra and her team had already removed and brought back the special police gear. Alex estimated that the equipment was sufficient to arm about ten people.
Activating the Nightmare of the Betrayer with his mind, Alex looked around at his servants. Li Wan'ning, Myra, Shen Tingting, Tang Jingyan, Lin Mancha, and several other women who were among the first to be brought into City of Darkness by Alex had completely undergone servitude, with their loyalty now at 100%.
The loyalty of those rescued later, like Si Ruqing, had also increased, with Si Ruqing at 96% and most of the others at 98% or 99%. The young girl and the twin sisters, who had been the quickest to undergo servitude, were now at 100%.
The beautiful professor, Lu Yurou, also showed an increase in loyalty, now at 88%. It seemed that women with stronger mental resilience took longer to undergo servitude, unless they completely let down their guard.
"Wanning, Ningning, all of you come here! Put on the weapons!" Alex called out to Li Wan'ning and the others, "Starting today, I will train you to kill zombies!"
Alex felt it was exhausting to do everything himself, so training his own team was necessary. His plan was to use the women who had been completely servitized to form a well-equipped female special forces team. The most suitable person to be the instructor for this team was Si Ruqing, a former policewoman with experience in killing many zombies and possessing rich combat experience.
"First, familiarize yourselves with these equipment, and don't use the guns recklessly for now." After the five women curiously donned their gear, Alex then turned to approach Si Ruqing. Si Ruqing's loyalty had not yet reached 100%, and Alex still had his reservations.
"Officer Si, come to my castle for a moment," Alex commanded.
Si Ruqing was slightly startled, then shivered, her face flushing red in an instant. "Is my fate finally about to unfold?" she thought, biting her lip and tightly clutching her sleeves.
As Alex's figure disappeared inside the castle, Si Ruqing finally mustered the courage to follow.
Alex knew why Si Ruqing's final servitude had not yet been completed. Today, he was determined to break down her last barrier and make her completely his.
100% complete servitude!
Alex always believed in one principle: the best way to open a woman's heart is to open her body. It's that simple.
...
Coming out of the castle, Si Ruqing's loyalty had indeed reached 100%. Alex was very pleased with his own prowess. Si Ruqing, who previously still held some pride, now looked at Alex with eyes full of adoration and tenderness.
"Ruqing, I have a task for you. I have established an outer city that leads directly to the female dormitory. This place will serve as a refuge for the ordinary servants in the city. However, there are still some zombies in the outer city that need to be cleared out. I want you to lead Li Wan'ning and the others to get some practice.
In the future, you will also be responsible for protecting City of Darkness and managing the servants within the city," Alex explained seriously, handing over the weapons and equipment to Si Ruqing.
Si Ruqing originally had a few team members under her command, and their loyalty to Alex had also reached 98%. Alex included these individuals in the female special forces team as well. However, they were not given firearms but were merely equipped with protective gear, clubs, and bayonets.
As per Alex's instructions, these team members were responsible for close combat, protecting Si Ruqing and others, while Si Ruqing and Li Wan'ning were tasked with using firearms to shoot the zombies.
After arranging everything in City of Darkness, Alex gathered some information from the survivors in Lily New Town and then drove the Strangler armored vehicle back to the villa area of Lily New Town. Based on the information provided by the lawyer he had spoken to earlier, Alex first headed to villa number 125.
The gates of villa number 125 were tightly closed, with windows boarded up with steel and wood. All entrances, except the main one, were sealed. Two modified cars were parked at the entrance of the villa. Alex parked the Strangler armored vehicle outside the villa's walls and then leaped directly into villa 125.
According to the survivors from Lily New Town, these doctors didn't have firearms and posed no threat to Alex. Despite this, Alex remained cautious. Approaching the main door, he listened for any movement inside. It was very quiet, as if no one was inside at all. Alex used the Blade of Sin to break open the security door and gently opened it. Inside was pitch dark and seemed a bit eerie.
"Who's there?!" As soon as Alex entered, two men in white coats wielding an axe rushed out. Their voices were tense, and their hands holding the axe trembled slightly.
"I think you should know, Lily New Town has fallen to zombies. The people in the other villas are either dead or have come with me to my refuge."
Alex spoke calmly, "I heard about you from other survivors and came specifically to find you. My refuge needs doctors."
At this moment, the inner door slowly opened. An old man in a white coat, along with two women dressed as doctors, emerged. The old man was balding, wearing reading glasses, and had the appearance of a scholar. The two female doctors following him seemed very refined and somewhat out of touch with worldly affairs.
"Hello! I am the dean of the First Hospital of Jiangcheng and also an academician of the Medical College. I am pleased to meet you," said the old man, who appeared to be in his fifties or sixties but had well-maintained skin and looked quite dignified.
Seeing the old man extend his hand for a handshake, Alex merely glanced at it indifferently, showing no intention of reciprocating. "You must be aware of the situation outside. With just a few of you, there's no chance of survival in such an environment. I am now allowing you to join my refuge, but you must be absolutely obedient to me."
"Obey you? Why should we?! We are doctors, the only ones who can save humanity. You should be cooperating with us!" A young doctor holding an axe said arrogantly.
"According to our research, the zombie virus is not incurable! If you and the people in your refuge fully cooperate with us and give us time, we will soon develop a new type of drug. This drug will not only resist the zombie virus but also cure those infected by it!" another middle-aged doctor holding an axe confidently asserted.
"Young man, think about it! Once we develop the antidote, the remaining survivors won't have to worry about zombie virus infections anymore! Moreover, we could even use the antidote to save those who have already turned into zombies! Think about it! What a great achievement that would be!"
"We will become saviors!"
"We will save all of humanity!"
"We will be recorded in the annals of history and be renowned for ages!"
The bald old man extended his hands, speaking to Alex with a passionate and magnetic voice.
This was how they had convinced the others in Lily New Town initially. In their view, what they were doing was supremely noble and grand! Everyone and everything should yield to them, follow their arrangements and commands, and contribute to the salvation of humanity.
However, up to now, their research had yielded no results.
