Apocalypse Shelter System

Chapter 145: Resorting to Violence at the Slightest Disagreement



"Siaomu, everyone's right. It's not that we're not giving you face, but your cousin can't stay here for free. If he wants to stay, he has to do something for everyone! In my opinion, let's make him go out today to find supplies!"

The couples who were initially enjoying the show couldn't hold back and began to criticize Siaomu. Siaomu usually flaunted his somewhat useless abilities, but when faced with those three rogue bachelors, he became as timid as a dog. Many people were disgusted with him!

People turned their disdainful gazes toward Alex, too.

"Yes! Make him go out to find supplies. If he wants to stay, he needs to contribute!"

Just a moment ago, Siaomu was full of arrogance, but seeing so many people opposing him, he quickly backed down. He lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said to Alex, "Alex, it's not that your cousin won't help you. You've seen it yourself, I can't make the decisions here. How about this? You go out today to find some supplies.

We can let you stay here, but in the future, you need to bring food and other supplies back for everyone."

Alex glanced at the dishes on the table, all consisting of soon-to-expire canned goods and packaged junk food. The only decent option was a few bowls of instant noodles. Even Alex's female slaves would find such food unacceptable.

"Cousin, I think there's a misunderstanding. I didn't come here today to beg for your shelter. I came to check if you guys are still alive. Originally, I wanted to take you to my refuge, but now it seems unnecessary."

Alex smiled indifferently, his face full of disdain.

"Alex! At a time like this, you still care about face and want to suffer? What the hell are you pretending to be so proud of? What's more important, your life or your face?" Siaomu thought that Alex was only saying this to save face, so he angrily reprimanded him.

Alex's sister-in-law quickly pulled him aside and advised, "Alex, you can't talk nonsense! Going out alone in this situation, you might accidentally get eaten by zombies! Sister knows you care about face, but face can't be exchanged for food, right? Don't be afraid. Stay here. Sister will share her portion with you.

Eat your fill, and then you can go out to find food!"

"Sister, you've really misunderstood. I have my own refuge, and I'm not short of food. I came here to see if you guys are still alive and if there's anything I can help with. I didn't mean for you to take me in."

Alex remained calm, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Siaomu! Just because others said a few words, you want to kick Alex out? Alex is our cousin! He's our only family now! You, clearly having supernatural abilities, why are you afraid of them? How can you not show an ounce of manliness?

If you keep going like this, one day, we'll be bullied to death!"

"Do you know? Those bastards keep harassing me with words. A few days ago, they even tried to lay hands on me. If I hadn't resisted to the death, by now, I would have..."

Alex's sister-in-law, Tang Wanshu, said, tears streaming down her face. She felt wronged, especially towards her weak husband, who she wished would toughen up.

"What?!! You said those bastards wanted to bully you?!!" Siaomu was furious, his face turning red as he brandished a kitchen knife, glaring fiercely at the three single men and cursing, "Bastards! Dare to harass my wife?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Oh! Siaomu! So you've grown some backbone now? Finally developed some balls? I heard you've been getting worse and worse. Look at your wife, how long has it been since she was properly satisfied?

We're just here to help you out!" A burly single man, holding a watermelon knife, provocatively looked at Siaomu.

"Come on! Siaomu, if you're a man, come over and fight us now! Watch me chop you to death! If I can't kill you, I'll cut off your balls and serve them as a drink!" The other two single men also laughed heartily, holding their weapons.

Siaomu's breathing became more and more rapid, and he glared at the three single men, clenching and unclenching the knife in his hand.

Alex's sister-in-law also drew out a fruit knife, ready to fight alongside her husband. But after waiting for a while, Siaomu still hadn't made any move.

Turning back, she saw her husband had already put down the knife, smiling awkwardly, and said, "We're all family here. How can we damage our relationships over an outsider! Hehe! Let's talk it out! Give me face, and today, we'll let my cousin have a meal. After eating, I'll let him go!"

"Hahaha!!!" Everyone around burst into laughter, looking at Siaomu's eyes with disdain and

sarcasm.

In the apocalypse, a weak man couldn't earn anyone's respect, even if he had once helped everyone here, and even if he possessed the strongest power in the area.

But in the eyes of everyone, he was still an insignificant waste! No one took him seriously; everyone wanted to pinch him, kick him!

In this apocalypse, a man's weakness was a sin!! A weak man, let alone face, might not even be able to protect his own wife! That Siaomu, a proud coward, could survive until now; it had to be said that these people had exercised a lot of restraint.

If Alex were among these people, with a weak man possessing abilities and such a beautiful wife by his side, Alex would undoubtedly use any means necessary to eliminate the weak man, who could become stronger at any time, and then claim his wife for himself. Although Alex could understand the actions of these people, it didn't mean he would forgive those who had disrespected his sister-in-law, especially since they had just insulted him! "Sister, were these three the ones trying to harass you a few days ago?" Alex, who had been silent as if detached from the situation, suddenly spoke.

His sister-in-law instinctively nodded, saying, "Exactly, these three ungrateful bastards! If I hadn't resisted desperately with a knife at that time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I..."

Before his sister-in-law could finish her sentence, Alex's hand suddenly produced a knife

with blue flames, and even blood seemed to flow on the blade.

Everyone present looked in horror at Alex, who had always seemed very docile. The three single men were even more horrified, shouting:

"Where did this kid's knife come from? How did it suddenly appear..."

"Kid! What do you want to do? This is our territory, you better think it through..."

Before the three could finish their words, Alex advanced with the knife, turning into a phantom and rushing forward.

With a flash of the blade, it was just one stroke...
