Chapter 112: Should Pipi Stay or Leave?Luxurious and filled with European medieval style decor and arrangements.
Opulently decorated fireplaces, sofas covered with polar bear fur, and the floors completely covered with white fur carpets...
Also, in the bedrooms, the wide, soft, and comfortable beds, and the exquisite wardrobes... S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Everywhere radiated nobility and luxury.
The entire layout of the Demon Lord's Castle followed, and even exceeded, the standards of British royal residences!
Even without turning on the air conditioning, the temperature inside the castle was always maintained at the most comfortable level for humans.
Such a luxurious, classical, and high-end living environment was something even the pre- apocalypse wealthy couldn't enjoy.
Let alone in such an apocalyptic world.
Most importantly, the castle's water and electricity were still functioning.
The upgrade of the castle did not affect its utilities.
However, the coverage of water and electricity obviously wasn't enough.
"Go and call those Innocents over, continue to connect the other rooms in here with water and electricity," Alex ordered the women who were excitedly exploring the new bedrooms.
Alex didn't rush to enjoy the new castle but walked out from it, heading to the outer walls for an upgrade.
Additionally, he used the remaining apocalypse coins to summon a Destroyer Turret.
[Destroyer Turret: Attacks all life forms assaulting the City of Darkness, also can be controlled by the city lord. Each shell costs 10 apocalypse coins (automatically purchased upon usage, until all apocalypse coins are depleted); Price: 400 apocalypse coins.]
The cost of the Destroyer Turret was twice that of the Hunter Crossbow.
However, its power was indeed astonishing.
Alex decided to test it by firing at a nearby group of zombies.
"Boom!!!" A loud explosion echoed as the cannon fired at the spot designated by Alex.
The zombies in the area hit by the shell were blasted to pieces.
Even those further away were swept away by the blast.
This single cannon shot was similar to a pre-apocalyptic tank's main gun.
Its power was formidable, and the shrapnel and blast wave caused extensive damage around the impact site.
Zombies below B-grade had almost no chance of withstanding such a powerful strike.
After completing these arrangements, Alex finally felt at ease.
With such a defense system, coupled with the protection of the city lord's illusion, the City of
Darkness should be absolutely safe in most scenarios.
Unless faced with an army equipped with planes and cannons, which would be a different story.
However, from what Alex had seen so far, there were no armies in the vicinity of Jiang City. The largest gathering he had found was the luxurious manor hidden in the mountains. "That would make a great colony."
Alex recalled the scene he had seen through the Four-Eyed Magic Crow.
Inside the vast luxurious manor, there were not only ponds and fields but also breeding farms with poultry and livestock!
It was a completely self-sufficient ecological farm!
"We must find a way to eliminate those people and turn that place into the second City of Darkness," Alex mused, returning to the study in the castle. He leaned back in a comfortable recliner and tapped on a golden nanmu wood desk.
While being attended to by two Ukrainian models, Alex pondered how to eliminate the people in that manor.
If the manor was filled with ordinary people, Alex could easily enslave them with his abilities and the formidable Strangler armored vehicle.
But now, with many mutants inside the manor and unclear circumstances, he was reluctant to take risks.
Although he now possessed a body as strong as diamond, impervious to blades and bullets, facing unknown opponents, Alex still preferred not to risk it.
It simply wasn't worth it.
Based on his current rate of development, steadily advancing his plans, conquering the entire world wasn't out of reach.
Moreover, he still didn't have enough apocalypse coins.
Not nearly enough to summon the seeds of the Demon Lord.
During this time, it was better to carefully consider how to eliminate these people safely and effectively.
In such an apocalypse, the best way to kill was undoubtedly to use zombies.
However, the luxurious manor was located in the mountains.
There weren't many zombies around it.
The walls of the manor were also very sturdy.
Even if ordinary zombies were led there, they would be helpless against the manor.
Not to mention, there were an unknown number of mutants inside.
Alex was unclear about the extent of their evolution.
Blasting through the manor's walls was something Alex could do.
He just needed to upgrade the Strangler armored vehicle to a Strangler armored tank.
But finding and leading a large number of powerful zombies to that remote manor was a
tricky issue.
"Crackle... Meow... Husband, husband! Calling husband!" The walkie-talkie suddenly transmitted the call of Cat-Ear Nymph, Lan Si Ruo, her voice filled with excitement and agitation: "Husband! We found a mutant hiding outside our castle! It's Wolf Brother Pipi! He didn't die! He's just seriously injured... Crackle... Husband! Can we take him in?"
Lan Si Ruo apparently still had lingering feelings, but due to Pipi's previous betrayal and his insane act of taking down the gathering place with everyone in it, she still had some
reservations.
Alex frowned, lost in thought.
To be honest, he actually liked Pipi's character.
If it were him, Alex felt he might have made the same choice as Pipi did in that situation!
Although Lan Si Ruo and the others felt Pipi's actions were wrong and held a grudge,
Alex didn't see anything wrong with what Pipi did.
In fact, Alex even admired Pipi's bravery!
If it were Kang Kang, Alex would definitely not have rescued him.
Such people, in the apocalypse, were simply the most foolish to die.
But if it were Pipi, Alex thought this little guy was actually a promising material.
Moreover, an important point was that although Pipi was a boy, he was still just a child.
Highly moldable, and also, his abilities were quite impressive.
Alex suddenly remembered the story Lan Si Ruo had told him before.
It seemed that Pipi had lured a large number of zombies to besiege their original gathering
place.
Thinking of this, Alex's eyes lit up.
"Bring Pipi here, I have some questions for him."
If Pipi was willing to pledge allegiance to him, Alex wouldn't mind taking him in.
But if Pipi isn't sincerely loyal to him, Alex wouldn't mind using Pipi and then turning him into a puppet.
Alex wouldn't treat Pipi any differently just because he liked his character and because Pipi
was still a child.
In his eyes, everyone was just a slave to him.
Those who could be used, he would use; those who couldn't, he would turn into puppets.
Or simply eliminate them!
Pipi was soon brought up...
Pipi was carried back by the centaur girl, Yuanyuan.
Pipi was covered in blood, with conspicuous, festering wounds all over his body, looking very
pitiful.
If not for Pipi's strong vitality, he might have died from such injuries.
But even so, the frail and young Pipi bit his teeth hard, not making any sounds of pain.
Pipi was brought in front of Alex.
Bearing the pain, he slid off the centaur girl's back.
Then, he knelt down before Alex and said, "Thank you for killing those beasts and saving my sisters! If I, Pipi, survive this, my life will be yours from now on!"
After speaking, Pipi sincerely and devoutly kowtowed three times to Alex and then fainted
from weakness.
Qianqian hurriedly stepped forward to hold Pipi, pleading, "Husband, please help Pipi, he's
just a child."
The centaur girl and the cow-horn girl also stepped forward to plead, "Husband... Pipi is only
ten years old, he's just a child... The previous incident was just because they killed Kang Kang,
which made him too impulsive. We promise such things will never happen again!... He is willing to be loyal to you, please take him in..."
Alex didn't take these people's words to heart but looked at the top of Pipi's head.
Loyalty: 96%
This number even surprised Alex a bit.
Achieving 96% loyalty upon entering the city was a rare occurrence.
Moreover, Alex had never had any contact with the young werewolf Pipi before.
Unexpectedly, this young werewolf was so deeply loyal and righteous.
Alex initially thought Pipi's words were just a plea for survival.
But it turned out that Pipi was sincere.
"This kid is really good," Alex thought highly of Pipi in his heart. Seeing the mutant beauties kneeling on the ground, Alex went with the flow and said,
"Alright, for your sake, I'll save Pipi. However, if Pipi wants to stay, he must work for me. I
don't keep idlers in my city. And if he makes a mistake, he will face severe punishment. Make sure he understands this."
Alex stood up, picked up Pipi, and carried him to the bedroom, placing him on the floor.
Soon, Pipi's wounds began to heal at a visibly fast rate...
Alex nodded in satisfaction, turned to the group of grateful mutant beauties, and smiled, " I've saved Pipi. How are you going to thank me?"
Qianqian and Lan Si Ruo licked their lips and pounced into Alex's arms.
With one in each arm, Alex turned and walked into the adjacent study, where two Ukrainian
models were waiting for him. Today, he was curious to find out what made Ukrainian beauties
different.
