Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

At this moment, a campfire burned to his left, its flames flickering cheerfully. Alex, supporting his weary body, slowly approached the fire.
Your journey continues at empire

As he got closer, he could finally see who the person by the campfire was. A woman was sitting cross-legged by the fire, roasting jerky.

She looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with snow-white skin and stunning features. Her figure was graceful and curvaceous, accentuated by a black outfit that outlined her shapely form. A faint, soothing fragrance emanated from her, invigorating anyone who caught its scent.

Alex stared at the woman for a while, then laboriously moved closer and sat down heavily across from her. The woman merely glanced at Alex without any hint of surprise in her eyes. Her demeanor was incredibly calm.

However, Alex was quite taken aback. According to his knowledge, there shouldn't be any other humans on this planet. All survivors should have been with him. How could someone appear here?

As he puzzled over this, the woman spoke.

"You must be Alex, right?" Though she was speaking, her voice carried a hint of amusement, and her eyes roved over Alex's figure.

Alex didn't mind her scrutiny and nodded slightly, saying, "You must not be from this planet, are you?"

The woman chuckled lightly at Alex's question and replied, "Like you, we are also survivors."

After a pause, she continued, "The zombie crisis didn't destroy all of humanity. Besides the survivors you know, many others also survived, people you don't know about. I am one of them."

Her expression remained unchanged, as if she were recounting a mundane fact.

Alex's brow furrowed slightly. Over the years, why had he never heard any rumors about other survivors? He had long ruled this planet; could there really be things happening on it that he didn't know about?

Alex looked silently at the woman, hoping to find answers in her expression. However, it was clear that she wasn't willing to reveal more.

Seeing his reaction, the woman couldn't help but chuckle. "From your reaction, it seems you don't believe me?"

Hearing this, Alex quickly shook his head and said, "No, no!"

Seeing his response, the woman laughed again and said, "Relax. If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have told you so much."

"Long time no see, Alex."

Suddenly, a hearty voice sounded in Alex's ear. He turned to look and what he saw made his scalp tingle.

He never would have thought that the commander he had seen before would appear here. But thinking about it, it made sense; everything around was likely his doing.

"So, it's you. It really has been a long time," Alex said as he stood up, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the commander.

The tension between them was palpable, especially for Alex. This guy had suddenly appeared on this planet and done so many heinous things; there was no way he could let him go.

"Haha... Alex, I'm surprised to see you alive here!" the commander laughed, his eyes fixed on Alex, flickering with a mad, bloodthirsty intent.

Alex glanced at him and said, "It is indeed surprising. But can you tell me, what exactly are you doing here?"

Alex stared warily at him, his eyes filled with vigilance.

The commander grinned, showing his sharp teeth, and said, "Why don't you take a guess?"

"Since that's the case, there's no need for more words. Today, it's either you or me," Alex snorted coldly and charged at the commander.

Seeing Alex taking the initiative, the commander fearlessly met him head-on.

The two quickly became entangled in a fierce fight.

Bang! The collision of their fists created powerful shockwaves, causing the surrounding trees to sway and rustle.

They exchanged blows relentlessly, neither willing to back down, fighting fiercely and evenly matched.

However, Alex grew more and more courageous as the fight went on, his attacks becoming increasingly vicious.

Finally, the commander was forced to retreat continuously.

Bang! With a heavy punch, Alex found an opening in the commander's defense and pressed his advantage, landing a solid blow to the commander's abdomen.

Spurt! The commander spat out a mouthful of blood instantly, stumbling backward.

Alex pressed his advantage further, delivering a fierce kick to the commander's chest, sending him flying.

Thud! The commander fell several meters away, vomiting blood violently. He struggled to get up but felt as if all his bones were shattered, the pain unbearable.

Alex stepped forward, looking down at the commander with a contemptuous gaze.

"I told you before, you could never be a match for me. Even though you can create powerful things, they are of no use to me."

As Alex said this, the commander wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and started laughing.

His face was pale, but his eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at Alex.

"No wonder we didn't find any other strong beings on this planet. It seems your strength has reached a formidable level."

Alex narrowed his eyes, neither confirming nor denying.

Seeing this, the commander's eyes flashed with a strange smile. He slowly took out a round object from his pocket.

When Alex saw what he was holding, his pupils contracted sharply.

"You..."

The commander smiled and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Looking immensely pleased with himself, the commander tossed the object into the air. The girl from earlier was instantly drawn to it, and within a second, she underwent a complete transformation.

Alex's eyes widened in shock. He never expected these extraterrestrial beings to possess such advanced technology.

"I can also tell you that the previous biochemical crisis on your planet was our doing. And now, we will once again control your destiny."

The commander looked at Alex with a mocking expression, his face full of arrogance.

Alex's expression turned serious as he asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? Heh heh... of course, to annihilate all life on this planet."

The commander laughed sinisterly. Just as Alex was about to step forward to kill this evil man, the mutated woman charged at him.

Seeing her grotesque and terrifying appearance, Alex felt a chill run down his spine.
