Chapter 2: Shelter System
The boy was about to speak, but he was interrupted by an authoritative voice: "Enough, stop arguing! Your way of thinking is wrong! What do you mean by saying Alex saved us? This warehouse belongs to our school, and Alex just had the luck to hide in it earlier! It's the property of the school, not Alex's personal possession, so naturally anyone can take shelter here! At most, Alex just opened the door for us! How can you say that he saved us?"
Terry stood up and righteously scolded the burly boy.
Such shameless words could be spoken so self-righteously by Terry!
Didn't Terry know the situation back then?
Of course, the answer was no.
Everyone present knew that if Alex hadn't opened the door to let them in, they would have been bitten to death by the zombies that swarmed them.
But did that matter? No, it didn't! That was all in the past, and now they were safe.
What mattered now was how to survive better.
Who goes out to die is not important; what is important is that each person can survive better.
A wave of coldness swept through Alex's heart. Terry, in order to justify driving him away, actually uttered such despicable and shameless words, making him feel disgusted.
Since you all dislike me so much, then I'll just leave!
But why must you be like this?
He didn't want to argue or explain anything.
Because he knew that no matter what he said, it would be just meaningless words.
However, at that moment, a voice echoed in Alex's mind: "Shelter System successfully bound to host! Would you like to choose to build a city now?"
System?!
Build a city?!
Alex was slightly stunned. Was this a hallucination after being bitten by a zombie?
Seeing the text appearing in front of him like a projection, Alex ultimately chose to build immediately.
With a "rumble", Alex felt as if he heard the sound of something heavy falling, and then he completely lost consciousness.
When Alex woke up again, he found himself in a wooden cabin.
The cabin was not large, only about twenty square meters in size.
Besides the bed he was lying on, there was only a desk and a chair in the cabin.
"Huh? What's going on? Wasn't I being attacked by zombies? And, I was bitten by them too!"
Alex quickly checked the wound on his arm. The area where he had been bitten by the zombie had completely healed, revealing fresh, tender skin.
Alex was astonished to find that not only had he not been infected after being bitten by a zombie, but his injuries had also healed rapidly!
"What is this place? How did I end up here?" Alex asked, frowning.
