Chapter 189: Bountiful Harvest!!
After Alex finished enjoying himself, he checked the time. It was already approaching night.
Outside the base shelter, there were still many mutated zombie corpses that needed Alex to collect.
For others, these zombie corpses might be a menace, but for Alex, they were precious resources.
Additionally, there were the bodies of some unfortunate mutated individuals who died in battle that needed to be recovered.
Mutated warriors, especially those with abilities, had a high possibility of producing skills.
After the major battle ended, Shen Han promptly stepped forward and requested all remaining soldiers to mobilize and collect the zombie bodies. The bodies of ordinary zombies were to be incinerated, while the bodies of mutated zombies were transported by the material collection team to a mountain hollow outside the woods.
As for the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers, under Shen Han's orders, they were transported to the City of Darkness within the base shelter and directly buried in the No. 1 City of Darkness.
The scene shifted, and Alex's figure had already appeared in the hollow where the mutated zombie bodies were discarded. Opening the spatial package, Alex directly collected all the mutated zombie corpses.
Over 200 C-grade mutated zombie bodies.
9 B-grade mutated zombie bodies.
Enough to bury in the City of Darkness for a while.
Killing two birds with one stone.
In this battle, Alex not only took the opportunity to eliminate some of the aliens but also effortlessly won the hearts of the people, gaining a large number of mutated zombie bodies and mutated human bodies.
Back in the City of Darkness, Alex threw all the zombie bodies into the Hall of the Undead.
At this moment, the puppet transformation was also complete!
[Ding Dong! Advanced Puppet (B-grade) transformation complete!]
[Obtained one Advanced (B-grade) puppet.]
The tall and imposing figure of the ancient puppet reappeared, respectfully bowing to Alex and saying, "Master! Puppet No. 168, Gu, is at your command."
Alex examined Gu for a moment but didn't find anything particularly distinctive. Apart from its formidable combat capabilities, it looked similar to an ordinary puppet.
Alex attempted to switch consciousness.
Soon, he became Gu's perspective.
Switching back his consciousness, Alex ordered Gu, "Gu, come back with me. The remaining subordinates of yours still need you to continue controlling them."
"Yes!" Gu bowed in agreement, but hesitated for a moment. Respectfully, he reminded, "Master, these people have strong willpower, and they possess a large number of heavy weapons and two ammunition depots. They pose a significant threat to our base shelter. Even for me, it might be difficult to fully control them.
If your previous plans were to be discovered by these people, it could lead to significant trouble! In my opinion, we should use a strategy to test them. If these people in the base prove useful, we keep them; if not, we find an opportunity to eliminate them!"
A flash of sternness crossed Gu's eyes, and his face was filled with a murderous aura.
"Especially those council members, all ungrateful and boastful individuals! Besides conspiring for power and scheming against others, they have no real abilities. In this apocalypse, I believe there is no need to keep those people in the Council." Gu spoke with determination.
Alex was slightly shaken. Among the many puppet warriors under his command, although many retained some memories and behaviors from before puppetization, Gu was the first to independently think and suggest ideas to him!
Is this the advanced puppet zombie? Truly extraordinary!
These advanced puppets not only retained previous memories but also actively contemplated, taking positions most favorable for their master and weighing the current pros and cons.
Moreover, the suggestion Gu presented was the most ruthless and direct.
Alex looked at the respectful Gu, nodded in contemplation.
After one day and one night, the civilians in the shelter tirelessly waited at the emergency room door, which finally opened slowly!
Assisted by two female nurses, Alex limped out.
"!!"
"Hero!!"
"Alex is fine! That's great!!! Alex is okay!!!"
"Fantastic!! Alex is destined for greatness! Alex is safe now!"
"Alex, please accept our gratitude!!"
"Hero!! Please accept our bow!!"
All the civilians waiting outside were excited and teary-eyed, rushing forward to express their gratitude to Alex. At this moment, Alex had become a god-like figure in the hearts of all civilians – a savior, a great hero!
"Cough, cough!" Alex, looking at the soldiers of the city defense team who stood straight saluting him, spoke sincerely, "I haven't forgotten what I promised you before."
Saying this, Alex ordered Shen Han, who was standing nearby, "Shen Han, take them to release Captain Gu."
The senators present all looked at each other, and even the soldiers of the city defense team appeared somewhat bewildered. Originally, they had stopped caring much about this matter. Compared to Gu, they actually preferred the newly appointed Captain Alex.
However, Alex's first action upon waking up was to fulfill his promise to them before the big battle!
This move by Alex instantly gained even more approval from these men.
But other senators looked at Alex with intense worry, their hearts filled with anxiety. The scene where Gu went crazy during the council meeting was still vivid in everyone's memory. Lu Weijiang died at the hands of Gu! A high-ranking and powerful chairman was killed just like that!
In the face of Gu's absolute strength, everyone felt a lingering fear and unease. Previously, Alex could restrain Gu, but now, with Alex severely injured, if Gu were to attack again, coupled with the elite soldiers of the city defense team, the entire shelter would likely face a major crisis.
"Alex! This is not permissible!" A nearby senator hurriedly and anxiously tried to stop the situation.
Other senators were also anxious, but none dared to speak out.
With a grim expression, Zhang Jingwu looked at Alex and the members of the city defense team. In a cold tone, he stood up and said, "I disagree with this! If anyone dares to release Gu, don't blame me, Zhang Jingwu, for being ruthless!"
Zhang Jingwu glared threateningly at Alex, and his two bodyguards behind him were also watching closely.
Everyone turned their heads and suddenly realized that all the guards here had been replaced by Zhang Jingwu's personal guards! Moreover, each of them was armed with a gun!!
