Apocalypse Shelter System

Chapter 165: Supplies Collection Team



Just like how the members of the third team were unwilling to join other teams, everyone turned their gaze to the captain of the third team.

"Friend, I am Peng Le, the captain of the third team. Welcome to join our third team! From today, you are the vice-captain of our third team!"

Peng Le, the captain of the third team, was like Alex, a leader who joined the shelter with a large group of survivors after its establishment.

Under Peng Le's command were not only most of the members of the third team but also a significant grassroots support among ordinary civilians.

Now, under various negotiations, Peng Le gradually became a parliament member and gained a foothold in the entire shelter!

Perhaps only he could truly understand the profound meaning behind Alex's decision.

Because initially, when faced with such a choice, he also chose neutrality.

Moreover, in such a tight situation, he slowly opened up his own situation!

Now, his influence has reached a bottleneck.

Without powerful weapons in hand and only a few mutant warriors under his command, it was impossible to gain more significant power within the shelter!

However, with the addition of Alex and his team, the strength of their third team would be completely different!

He had a strong grassroots support, and Alex had formidable strength.

As long as the two could unite, they could definitely turn the situation around.

Looking into Alex's eyes, Peng Le's gaze suddenly filled with fervor.

"I'll give him a little sweetness for now, appoint him as the vice-captain! Once I slowly gain control of the people under him, I'll find an opportunity to eliminate him!" Peng Le wore a smile on his face, but in his heart, he began plotting how to take possession of all the powerful mutants under Alex.

In this way, he could wield even greater power and attain a higher position!

"Thank you, Captain Peng!" Alex stood up with a smile, shaking Peng Le's hand and expressing sincere gratitude.

However, in his mind, he had already devised a plan.

Peng Le, including the team under Peng Le, he would completely control in a short time!

Both of them had sincere and sympathetic expressions on their faces, but in their hearts, they were scheming dark and despicable plots.

Guangbei Jia looked disappointedly at Alex, while Guodian Ke actually grew more appreciative of Alex.

As for Shen Xudong and Lv Bao, who had just recruited Alex, both had unpleasant expressions.

Especially Lv Bao, his face became quite gloomy, and in his eyes looking at Alex, there was a hint of coldness.

"Since Alex is joining the third team, Captain Peng, I'll leave Alex's placement to you." Guangbei Jia smiled and said to Peng Le, "In addition, if Alex encounters any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me. After all, you've saved Shen Han and the others!"

Now that the matter was settled, Guangbei Jia didn't want to futilely strive for more and decided to extend a favor to Peng Le and Alex. Especially with her last sentence, she not only acknowledged Alex's favor to them but also hinted that Alex was originally brought back by Shen Han and the others!

"Of course!" Peng Le nodded, then smiled at Alex, saying, "Alex, please follow me! Our third team also has an underground warehouse with prepared rooms. If you don't mind, you can live together with our brothers from the third team in the underground warehouse."

"Thank you, Captain!" Alex said with a smile as he followed Peng Le.

Soon, Peng Le led Alex to an area outside a small hill. Two guards, upon seeing Peng Le, immediately saluted him and then opened the warehouse door.

"Please!" Peng Le warmly invited Alex. "Alex, my brother, although life in our third team is quite challenging, our brothers are very united. Joining us is definitely the right choice!"

Peng Le boasted about their team.

Alex nodded and asked, "Captain Peng, how many people do we have in the third team now? And how many mutants?"

Alex didn't want to bother with Peng Le's empty words. The actual strength of the third team was what concerned Alex. After all, these people would soon be under his command, and Alex needed a preliminary understanding of them.

Peng Le hesitated for a moment, gave an awkward smile, and felt somewhat dissatisfied with Alex's attitude. Nevertheless, he forced himself to say, "Our third team is the largest in terms of personnel among the supply collection teams. We have over sixty people! As for mutants... including you guys, we now have nineteen! Haha..."

This meant that there were only three mutants before Alex joined!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Apart from Peng Le, there were only two others...

Quite weak!

Alex shook his head inwardly. However, he observed that most of these people had firearms, though they were outdated models. They seemed to be discarded items retrieved from the warehouse. In comparison to Shen Han's first team, the strength and equipment of these people were considerably weaker.

But even so, with their numerical advantage, they managed to hold a certain position in this gathering place without being assimilated.

This made Alex somewhat admiring of Peng Le's methods.

At the same time, Alex gained a deeper understanding of the situation within this shelter.

"Peng Le! There's something I'm not sure if I should mention..." Alex suddenly looked serious as he addressed Peng Le.

Peng Le furrowed his brow slightly, seeing the seriousness in Alex's expression, he also became solemn. "Brother Xiao, now we are part of the same team. In this apocalyptic world, we are like grasshoppers on the same rope. If you have any difficulties, just say it!"

Alex shook his head and, with a hint of contradiction, said, "It's not a difficulty; instead, it's a tremendous opportunity."

"What? An opportunity?" Peng Le's eyes widened, filled with enthusiasm. He couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Xiao! Speak up; we're brothers! Just trust me with whatever you have to say!"

After a moment of contemplation, Alex, with a conflicted expression, said, "Captain Peng, do you know why all sixteen of us are mutants? You should be aware of the ratio of mutants among survivors."

Peng Le was slightly shocked, suddenly realizing something. His excited expression turned red, and he even trembled a bit. He grabbed Alex's arm and said, "Brother, tell me quickly! Why? Do you have some special method?"
