Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System-Chapter 50 You Just Wait

"Damn it, you prefer punishment over courtesy, huh?! Break down the city gate for me!" The white-haired youth, with a volatile temper, seeing Alex pay him no attention, immediately turned his vehicle around and accelerated towards the City of Darkness's gate.

With a loud "Bang!", the off-road vehicle was smashed and its engine died.

However, the gate of the City of Darkness was also left with a large dent.

At this rate, it wouldn't take many more hits for the gate to break open.

"System! Construct a Hunter Repeating Crossbow here!" Alex said with a voice as cold as ice.

Alex had been reluctant to spend 200 Apocalypse Coins to build the Hunter Repeating Crossbow.

He was close to reaching 300 Apocalypse Coins!

The Strangler Armored Vehicle, he could have summoned it in just one more day!

Damn it!!

These people!

Must die!!!!

[The Hunter Repeating Crossbow: Attacks all life forms assaulting the City of Darkness, can also be controlled by the city lord. Each crossbow bolt costs 1 Apocalypse Coin (automatically purchased upon usage, until all Apocalypse Coins are depleted). Price: 200 Apocalypse Coins.]

[Conditions for summoning the Hunter Repeating Crossbow have been met, summoning...]

[Spending 200 Apocalypse Coins...]

As the synthetic electronic voice concluded, a one-meter-long and wide crossbow base thunderously materialized, followed by a man-sized repeating crossbow appearing atop it.

Under the setting sun, the crossbow emitted a sinister and alluring black cold light, as if harboring endless murderous intent!

The metallic beauty and elegant lines left Alex utterly fascinated!

At this moment, the white-haired youth restarted the off-road vehicle, preparing to reverse for a second attack.

A cold smile flashed across Alex's face as he aimed at the off-road vehicle and pulled the trigger!

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…" A series of whooshing sounds followed.

The crossbow bolts, emitting a black cold light, shot towards the off-road vehicle's windshield at an incredibly fast speed!

The white-haired youth, noticing the massive repeating crossbow suddenly in Alex's hands, panicked and slammed on the brakes, frantically turning the steering wheel.

Such evasion was futile!

Completely ineffective.

With anger, Alex fiercely pressed the crossbow's mechanism, releasing dozens of bolts in rapid succession!

He spent all his remaining Apocalypse Coins in one go!

"Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud…" The sound of the bolts piercing through rang out.

The Raptor off-road vehicle was instantly turned into a porcupine!

Dozens of black crossbow bolts densely covered the vehicle!

The vehicle's windshield was shattered by the bolts.

There wasn't even time for screams.

The white-haired youth and the earring-wearing man beside him were pierced through by several bolts!

Their heads, chests, and bellies were all impaled with crossbow bolts as thick as steel pens!

The heads of the white-haired youth and the earring man were shattered, their blood and brains splattered all over the interior!

The silver-haired girl following behind, watching the scene unfold, was dumbstruck and suddenly screamed in terror.

The tattooed muscular man beside the silver-haired girl shot towards Alex's position and shouted at the girl, "Damn it! Drive! Do you want to die here like them?!"

The silver-haired girl finally reacted, pressing the accelerator hard and frantically rushing towards the outside of the school.

A furious roar came from the huge speaker on top of the pickup truck: "Damn you! You damn wait for me!!!"

A glint of cold light flashed in Alex's eyes.

It seemed these people were going to look for backup!

From what Alex had seen through the three-eyed crow last time, there were about five or six people, and this group was organized and disciplined.

Their equipment was excellent, and they even had Type 81 rifles!

Such weapons, even before the apocalypse, were rare to see.

This group, before the apocalypse, was either a criminal organization or had accessed a military or police ammunition depot after the apocalypse.

Alex was certain that this group was not just these few people; behind them, there might well be a shelter.

"We must eradicate these people completely!"

Alex said coldly, leaping down from the city wall to the front of the off-road vehicle.

The two people in the vehicle were dead beyond doubt.

The hood of the off-road vehicle had also been turned into a porcupine, and Alex knew without looking that the vehicle was totaled.

However, the Type 81 rifle in the vehicle was still intact.

Alex went forward to take the Type 81 rifle and searched the vehicle, finding a police anti-riot net gun and a box of rifle bullets.

Apart from these weapons, Alex also found many white powders and pills.

Without a doubt, Alex guessed they were drugs.

"It seems these people are related to drug traffickers," Alex muttered to himself.

Judging from these people's attire and behavior, they should be part of a criminal organization, and these people were likely spoiled children of wealthy families.

After collecting the weapons and ammunition into his spatial bag, Alex turned and headed back to the City of Darkness.

Alex's understanding of this organization is limited, but what he can be sure of is that these people are not only well-armed and disciplined, but they might also have a hidden shelter. Attacking their stronghold alone right now would not be a wise decision. After all, he's still human and vulnerable to firearms.

However, the time to settle scores with these people is not far off. As soon as he accumulates 300 Apocalypse Coins and summons the Strangler Armored Vehicle, it will be time for these people to face their doom.

With the Strangler Armored Vehicle, Alex wouldn't care about whatever stronghold they have; he could just drive through it. Even if he can't win, with the protection of the armored vehicle, at least he can retreat safely.

For now, the priority is to quickly earn more Apocalypse Coins. After summoning the Hunter Repeating Crossbow, all his remaining coins were spent on bolts, leaving him with zero. Killing ordinary zombies is too slow to accumulate coins; he needs to hunt more Class C zombies quickly.

Alex did some calculations. Burying a Class C zombie can yield 20-30 Apocalypse Coins. With some luck, burying just over ten Class C zombies could generate the required 300 coins. Burying a Class C zombie takes about 2 hours, and currently, he has two Level 2 graves available for use. If there are enough Class C zombies, plus the coins from burying ordinary zombies, it would only take about a day to accumulate enough coins to summon the Strangler Off-road Vehicle. If he works through the night, he could have the required coins by tomorrow noon. This is not a slow pace.

Now, the only thing missing is a few Class C zombies.

Alex leaped down from the city wall and swiftly headed towards a neighborhood dense with zombies. He aimed to collect as many Class C zombies as possible, rapidly boosting his strength. Alex was a person who believed in immediate retribution; for him, a gentleman doesn't let the grass grow under his feet when it comes to revenge. Since the enemy provoked him, he was determined to eliminate them in the shortest possible time.

After a night of fierce combat, even Alex, with his over 90 attribute points in physical strength, felt exhausted. He left the bodies of over a dozen Class C zombies with the women and dragged his weary body back to the Dark Castle, collapsing into bed.

"Ding Dong! Burial of Class C zombie bodies complete!"

"25 Apocalypse Coins added."

"3 points of Agility attribute gained."

"1 point of Constitution attribute gained."

"1 point of Stamina attribute gained."

"Material: Bio-Claw obtained."

"Level 2 grave is now empty, please bury again."

"Ding Dong! Burial of Class C zombie bodies complete!"

"…"

"Congratulations, host, your Strength and Agility attributes have reached the human limit peak!"

A series of electronic sounds woke up Alex, who had finished resting. He got up and looked at the sky; it was now noon.

"System! Display my attributes."

[City of Darkness (Intermediate) City Lord Name: Alex]

[Gender: Male]

[Constitution: 92]

[Spirit: 70]

[Strength: 100]

[Stamina: 93]

[Agility: 100]

(Average value for an adult male human is 60)

[Skills: Xingyi Mastery.]

[Items: Sinful Blade (Primary), Spatial Bag (Primary)]

[Materials: Bio-Claw*6, Bio-Whisker*5.]

[Apocalypse Coins: 308]

"Strength and Agility have reached the human limit, huh?"

Looking at his Strength and Agility attributes, which had reached 100, Alex felt quite satisfied.

His current strength and agility had reached the limits of human capability. This meant that if Alex were to participate in Olympic events like weightlifting, running, or high jumping, he could easily overpower other athletes. He could even effortlessly break world records.

"System, can attribute points increase beyond 100?" Alex asked curiously. If 100 points are the human limit, does it mean he can no longer increase his attributes?

[Burying Class B zombies can continue to increase attributes.]

[100 points is the human limit; surpassing 100 will enter the superhuman level.]

Surpassing one hundred is superhuman?

Like a superhero?

Alex's pupils contracted slightly. The word "superhuman" was full of allure for him. After all, the human body is relatively weak, and even at its limit, safety is not guaranteed in this post-apocalyptic world.

[Yes, the superhuman level is beyond human existence. Entering the superhuman level will grant superhuman abilities.]

This information somewhat excited Alex. Entering the superhuman level would grant superhuman abilities.

"What kind of abilities are superhuman abilities?" Alex asked excitedly. Just hearing the name sounded incredibly powerful.

[Sorry, host, superhuman abilities cannot be disclosed at the moment.]

[Superhuman abilities will be unlocked upon reaching the superhuman level.]

"Alright," Alex nodded in resignation and continued with his command to the system: "Upgrade the Sinful Blade!"

The number of Bio-Claws and Bio-Whiskers he had was sufficient to upgrade the Sinful Blade.

[Upgrade conditions met, qualifying for upgrade.]

[Consuming Bio-Claw*5, Bio-Whisker*2, upgrading...]

[Upgrade complete!]

As the synthetic electronic sound finished, Alex felt the Sinful Blade in his hand suddenly tremble.

Then, with a "whoosh," a ghostly blue flame ignited on the blade. Alex touched the flame but felt no burning sensation. Was this flame just for show, without any real effect? Or was it ineffective against him but harmful to enemies?

Alex asked with some curiosity, "System, what changes does the Sinful Blade have after the upgrade?" If it was just about looking cooler, that would be somewhat disappointing. Although the materials were not difficult to obtain, he had still put in some effort. In this brutal post-apocalyptic world, the least useful things were morals and cool looks. Alex wanted something practical.

[1. The Sinful Blade has become sharper and more durable.]

[2. The Sinful Blade naturally carries a soul intimidation effect. Humans who see the Sinful Blade will instinctively feel fear.]

[The soul intimidation is also effective against ordinary zombies.]

[Without special stimuli, ordinary low-grade zombies will avoid the Sinful Blade and will not actively approach within its intimidation range.]

[Intimidation range is five meters.]

[3. During regular attacks, the Sinful Blade automatically collects resentment. When the host is in a rage and swings the Sinful Blade violently, there is a chance to trigger the Sinful Sanction.]

[Sinful Sanction: When triggered, it can produce a wide-range soul strike, ignoring any physical defense.]
