Chapter 11: Takeover of the Shelter

Chapter 11: Takeover of the Shelter

After hearing Mia's confession, Alex, who encountered a sudden zombie, didn't feel scared, but he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Thinking about the arrow that narrowly missed him just now, he muttered to himself, "Close call, almost didn't get to enjoy life before dying, and to die mistakenly killed by a teammate..."

"Alright, I'm fine. Let's keep going. The shelter we picked out earlier is almost there."

At that moment, there was commotion on the outskirts of the villa area.

"Damn it! Charge in, occupy a villa, and once inside, the zombies won't pose much of a threat to us."

"Fire arrows! Suppress the zombies' attacks, set them on fire!"

Alex frowned.

He hadn't expected that there would be other players in the villa area too.

But it worked out well; it would divert the attention of most of the zombies.

They sounded like a sizable group.

Alex grabbed Mia and, taking advantage of the chaos, dashed out of the grassy path toward the villa they had chosen.

Along the way, some zombies sensed Alex and Mia's presence and started charging towards them.

But before they could get close, Alex used a Molotov cocktail to keep them at bay.

And finally, he threw a grenade into the group of zombies.

Boom! The zombies were wiped out, and the two of them smoothly ran into the villa by the lakeside.

The commotion caused by Alex also alerted the group on the outskirts of the villa area.

"What the heck! There are players here too?"

"He even has a grenade!"

"What's so surprising about that? We have grenades too! He can't have many, I reckon he only has one. Damn it, he probably wanted to save that grenade, looks like he won't get the chance now."

Soon after, there was another explosion from a grenade detonating.

As Alex and Mia entered the villa, they closed the door and saw several zombies on the ground floor.

Before the zombies could react, Alex directly pulled out his P92 and started shooting.

Number 345345: "I was just about to collect water... I don't care, I'll continue. What if one day there really is no water left, we'll have to drink boiled acid rain!"

Number 35233: "I'm feeling quite cold now... How long is this rain going to last? If it continues for another day, I might freeze to death outdoors..."

Number 233333: "My little rundown house is leaking from all sides, I can't stand it. I feel like I'm catching a cold."

Alex looked out at the sky through the glass, but there was no sign of the heavy rain stopping.

Earlier, someone in the chat channel joked about whether it would rain again the next day. Alex felt that it wasn't impossible.

"Yawn!"

Mia, sitting on the sofa in the villa living room, sneezed.

She rubbed her arms, covered in goosebumps, to keep warm.

Alex sat down beside her and asked, "Feeling cold?"

Mia nodded honestly.

"It's a bit chilly... The temperature dropped too fast, I'm having trouble adjusting."

Indeed, even the upgraded Alex could feel a chill, not to mention Mia, who hadn't upgraded and was still a delicate woman.

They needed something to keep warm.

Thinking about it, Alex considered lighting a fire for warmth.

Suddenly, he remembered today's unlimited resources.

Wasn't this a coincidence?

Cotton could be used to make blankets!

They might not be the warmest or sturdiest blankets, but for Alex, stuffing cotton into fabric was easy enough.

And with an abundance of cotton, if one blanket wasn't warm enough, they could always make two!

As Alex browsed the trading platform for fabric, he said to Mia, "Just wait a moment, I'll perform a little magic for you."

Soon, he took out the materials for making blankets.

Mia looked at the floor covered with cotton and fabric, her face full of astonishment.
