Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Alex observed the mutant girl, noticing her vacant gaze and the eerie green tint in her pupils. "Our research has found that this mutant's intelligence seems to be at the level of a five or six-year-old child," Xia Xuan continued with her earnest explanation. "Also, she hardly eats any food; her preferred sustenance is fresh blood!

Her self-healing ability and physical constitution are also exceptionally strong."

"A preference for blood?" Alex frowned. "Seems like not only does she resemble a vampire in appearance, but her habits are also similar to those of vampires."

"We actually refer to this kind of mutant as a vampire-type mutant," Xia Xuan said, looking fearfully at Alex. "Furthermore, we've discovered that mutants are not just of this one type; it seems each category of mutants has its own uniqueness."

"Before, the Taizi Gang had encountered a mutant with cat ears."

Alex had heard about these from Ma Chenbin, which added to his satisfaction with Xia Xuan's honesty.

"Does this mutant harm people?" Alex asked, looking at the mutant girl.

"Not now. She might have attacked humans in the past, but currently, she seems to be more afraid of humans," Xia Xuan affirmed. Seeing Alex's inquiring look, she continued, "She was traumatized when captured, and during the experimentation period, she often suffered electric shocks and beatings from them. So now, she is very afraid of humans."

Alex nodded, then pointed to the two zombies being kept nearby and asked, "What's the deal with these two zombies?"

"Failed experiments," Xia Xuan said frankly. "We injected the serum from this mutant's blood into these two individuals, and then introduced the zombie virus. It failed."

"The serum from these mutants does not provide resistance to the zombie virus."

Having learned enough, Alex lifted the cage containing the mutant girl. "You, bring the other female doctor and come with me to my refuge. As long as you follow my rules and work well for me, I'll ensure your safety and provide for your needs."

"What about all this experimental equipment?" Xia Xuan asked, looking reluctantly at the hard-earned laboratory equipment.

"I've said before, I don't want to save anyone," Alex replied. "I quite like this apocalypse." After saying this, he carried the cage and left.

Xia Xuan watched Alex in stunned silence, her mind filled with mixed feelings. "Is he a selfish devil? But at least he's better than those hypocrites."

After loading the mutant girl and the two female doctors into the vehicle, night had fallen. Alex checked his watch; it was 7:30 PM. He took out some food and shared it with them, then tried to feed some to the mutant girl. Initially wary, the girl slowly approached after watching Alex for a while.

"I... I want to... drink blood..."

Alex was surprised that the mutant could speak and asked, "What's your name?"

"I... What is my name? Who am I?" The mutant girl again became confused.

Alex shook his head and left the mutant girl in Xia Xuan's care. He then drove the Strangler armored vehicle straight towards villa number 026.

The people in villa 026 were mostly young adults who had some interactions with the Taizi Gang. According to the information from the non-mainstream girl, they might have firearms. Moreover, this group was unruly and aggressive.

Alex parked the Strangler armored vehicle at a distance and walked toward villa 026. Driving the armored vehicle directly there would have been too conspicuous. Without understanding the strength and intentions of those inside, Alex did not want to expose himself.

As he neared villa 026, Alex heard the sound of rock music. Along with it, the low growls and roars of zombies became clearer and more chaotic. From a distance, Alex saw a large group of zombies gathered at the iron fence gate of villa 026. Inside, the villa was brightly lit, with rock music blaring. Were they intentionally attracting zombies? As if to mock their own mortality in this apocalypse?

Alex was somewhat impressed with this kind of flamboyant death wish.

He stealthily approached villa 026, noting its stark difference from other villas. Rather than a villa, it looked more like a fortress! Not only were the villa's windows nailed with iron plates, but the surrounding fences were also heightened and reinforced, with sharpened steel pipes protruding outward.

The villa was surrounded by cameras, leaving no blind spots as Alex observed. Outside the fence, several zombies were impaled on the upright steel pipes, creating a somewhat horrific sight.

"Is this to deter the zombies?" Alex thought, reminded of the historical figure known as the Impaler King, who displayed impaled captives on stakes to intimidate enemies. But what use was such a tactic against emotionless, fearless zombies?

Alex thought these people were somewhat insane. Several modified vehicles were parked outside, close to the fence.

Alex guessed that these people parked their vehicles this way for easy access and also to prevent zombies from getting close to the fence. Most of these modified vehicles were off-road cars, including the modified concrete mixer truck Alex had seen before. There was even a camper van equipped with solar panels, its windows and body welded with steel plates.

This camper van obviously had a lot of effort put into it.

Just as Alex was about to get closer for a better look, a jeep inside the fence suddenly turned on its headlights. Not just the front lights, but also the roof-mounted light bar was activated, illuminating the area around the iron gate of villa 026 as bright as day. Simultaneously, the vehicle's CD player increased its volume, blaring heavy metal rock music, wildly unleashing its wild sound.

The zombies seemed to be stimulated by the rock music, furiously rushing toward the iron gate.

"Hehehehe..."

"Ehehehe..."

"Bang bang bang..."

"Kill them!!" At that moment, three young men with bandanas on their heads and holding spears over two meters long charged out, shouting.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The three men stabbed through the gate, instantly taking down the zombies at the front.

"Wow! Awesome! You guys are so cool!"

"Kill all these fools! Let them meet their maker!"

"Long Spear Assault Team is invincible!"

Three young women in motorcycle jackets waved a flag and cheered on. The young men roared again, lifting their homemade spears for another round of stabs, taking down another wave of approaching zombies.

Their stabbing was swift, but the zombies surged forward even faster.
