Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

"What was your mission coming here?! Huh?! Speak!!"

"Easy!! Please be gentle! It's my first time being subjected to 'harsh interrogation'! Ah!! Alright, I'll talk! Our signal receiver detected strong signal fluctuations here, so our leaders sent us to investigate and see if there are survivors!"

Indeed, it was the signal tower from the mansion that attracted them. It seemed the concerns of Blood Witch Yueyue and others were justified. The moment they activated the signal tower, the organization noticed!

And they arrived so quickly!

Alex glanced at Shen Han, who was undergoing "torture." With a well-built physique and a heroic demeanor, she looked like a specially trained special forces soldier. Alex initially thought dealing with such special forces would be challenging.

However, he didn't expect Shen Han to be pampered and experiencing "torture" for the first time. Whatever Alex asked, Shen Han obediently answered, behaving remarkably docile.

"Why are you looking for survivors? What's your purpose?!" Alex twitched the "whip," and crimson blood clung to it.

In Alex's understanding, in this post-apocalyptic world, no one would kindly seek out survivors to help or rescue them. Even if someone did, they would likely have met a grim fate by now.

"To save people! Our goal is to save people! With the apocalypse, most humans have turned into zombies, and the remaining survivors are scattered. The longer the apocalypse lasts, the fewer humans there will be! So, we must rescue the unfortunate survivors, gather them together, unite, and rebuild a beautiful home! Ahh!

Hehehe..."

Shen Han's breathing was as rapid as a bellows, her face twisted in the agony of torment. Alex, however, couldn't possibly believe this lofty and absurd story.

Before the apocalypse, Alex was accustomed to hearing such nonsense and immediately increased the intensity in anger.

He fiercely lashed out with the "whip" several times.

"It's true!! Our purpose this time is really to save people! We need more soldiers, more mutants to guard the base shelter, and more labor to work for us, creating a new home! Our shelter has already opened an underground base and also established farmland around the shelter. With the deepening crisis of the apocalypse, food will only become scarcer! So, we must find a way to be self-sufficient!"

Alex sneered, detecting contradictions in Shen Han's words. "Contradictions! Can't you even fabricate lies? If food is becoming scarcer, rescuing more people would only make it even more scarce, wouldn't it? Huh?!! Roar!"

"Hehehe... Ahh... we have stored food now! And we are actively collecting more! In the short term, we don't have to worry about food at all! Hmm hmm...

many food items, stored for a long time, will expire. It's better to find more people to share and create a new home together! What we need most now are soldiers and labor!"

Listening to Shen Han, Alex couldn't help but pause.

He was starting to believe a bit.

After all, these people possessed formidable strength and organizational background. Even the Holy Mother might not meet a quick demise. Considering they established a parliamentary system, this survivor organization seemed quite democratic.

Moreover, living in the forest base without experiencing the cruel reality of the apocalypse, they might still retain pre-apocalyptic kindness and humanity, which was not entirely implausible.

Alex admitted that his previous thoughts were somewhat cynical.

In this post-apocalyptic world, Alex doesn't consider "small-minded" as a pejorative term; on the contrary, it has become a commendatory term, while "gentleman" has taken on a derogatory meaning.

Morality has eroded in the apocalypse.

Often, the small-minded thrive, while gentlemen are the first to meet their demise.

Next, Alex gained some insights into various details through Shen Han's account, learning about the arrangements and internal situations within the base.

Originally, this place was a secret ammunition depot guarded by the military.

There used to be a battalion stationed here, the closest military force to Jiangcheng City before the apocalypse.

After the sudden arrival of the apocalypse, most of the military personnel here also turned into zombies. However, the leaders in the military quickly awakened to the situation. Under effective leadership, they swiftly eliminated the zombies with powerful firepower and established defense fortifications. On the foundation of the former military camp, they created a shelter.

At that time, the camp had only about 100 survivors.

Fortunately, being a warehouse, it had ample ammunition and provisions. The remaining survivors were well-trained and united.

Under the guidance of the camp leaders, they quickly stabilized the situation.

Later, leaders from the organization in Jiangcheng City contacted this military camp. They ordered the camp leaders to spare no effort and dispatch people to rescue the surviving organization leaders in the organization headquarters, regardless of the cost.

The duty of soldiers is to obey orders, even in such chaotic times. Without hesitation, these warriors left the safety of the camp, taking helicopters and armored vehicles to face difficulties head-on, heading straight to the organization headquarters.

After sacrificing half of their soldiers, all the surviving leaders in the city organization headquarters were rescued, and many survivors were also saved.

Later, the rescued leaders in the organization headquarters formed a council. The two main leaders took on the roles of co-chairs, with ten other leaders serving as council members. They began organized and directed efforts for the construction of the entire military camp.

These individuals had capabilities, especially the female lead, who was decisive and hands-on, earning the admiration and support of many. Under her leadership, the entire shelter rapidly developed, rescuing numerous survivors, and training many warriors and mutant soldiers.

The current base shelter had become a secure haven in this post-apocalyptic world.

However, conflicts emerged at this point. The second-in-command in the organization privately united with discontented council members who opposed the strong-willed female lead. They rallied opportunistic elements among the soldiers and mutants, initiating an assault against the female lead's regime, attempting to seize control of the entire shelter.

They criticized the concept of rescuing more survivors and establishing a new human settlement, arguing that as the population grew, food consumption would increase significantly. They spread various rumors among the survivors in the shelter, instigating selfish individuals to counter the female lead.

This slogan quickly gained support from some selfish survivors. In just a few days, the once benevolent and just female lead faced strong criticism and resistance from the majority of survivors.

These survivors, disregarding the fact that they were rescued by the female lead's initiative to save lives, now vehemently opposed her advocacy of rescue efforts. They demanded resource conservation, advocating for closed-door development of the base to ensure the survival of the existing population.

The situation in the entire camp suddenly became tense. However, due to the female lead's strong support from the military leadership, and her significant contributions to the establishment of the shelter, she managed to stabilize the situation.
