Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System-Chapter 332 Lead Shielding

By the time Avril found Alex again, it had been three months later. During these three months, Alex had continuously buried vampires, and his lifespan had reached a terrifying extent.

[Ding, burial limit reached, lifespan nearing infinity, congratulations on unlocking a new achievement: Immortality.]

Hearing the system's voice in his ear, a smile instantly appeared on Alex's lips. This was undoubtedly a good thing for him. Now that he had achieved immortality and possessed the world's most powerful military force, Alex could act without any fear.

However, the thought of that alien commander still made Alex's brow furrow slightly. The existence of those beings felt like a stone slab pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

So, looking up at Avril, there was a hint of expectation in his eyes. "You've come to see me, you must have some good news, right?"

The Noah supercomputer had been working continuously for three months, and even the most difficult things in the world had almost been solved.

Avril nodded, placing the document in her hand on the table. "We have completed the modification of the radioactive source. The periphery of the City of Darkness is now powered, all supplied by that radioactive source. According to our decay rules, this energy can be used for nearly ten million years."

Avril spoke slowly, knowing what this meant. Although the technological level of this world was high, creating an energy source that could provide a lasting supply required an unimaginable amount of manpower and resources!

Moreover, most crucially, they might not be able to achieve it. But now, obtaining such a radioactive source was like a pie falling from the sky for them. Hearing this report, Alex was very pleased.

However, he still had some concerns. With such a strong radioactive source, he couldn't believe it was completely harmless. "Is there really no downside?" Alex asked, looking up at Avril with a serious expression.

Avril nodded, her expression slightly grave. "The radiation from the radioactive source is too strong, and a new batch of vampire warriors has already begun mutating." "Their combat power is now nearly godlike."

The 'god' Avril referred to wasn't an actual deity but rather Alex himself. He was akin to a godlike presence in the City of Darkness.

"Is it really that powerful?" Although Alex believed the radioactive source was much more potent than he had anticipated, he found it hard to believe it could grant such formidable power.

Seeing Alex's reaction, Avril sighed softly. "I'm not lying to you about this, you just need to see it for yourself."

...

A few minutes later.

As Alex stood at the gates of the City of Darkness, his eyes widened. What presented itself before him was a group of monsters glowing with a blue light.

These monsters looked exactly like the previous warriors, except their skin was covered with a layer of fine scales. More eerie still, their eyes were red, filled with desires for slaughter and destruction.

The number of these monsters was enormous; at a rough estimate, there were at least a hundred of them!

"How could this be?" Alex was shocked and bewildered. He had considered this possibility, but he had not expected it to be like this.

The strength of these monsters was so formidable, no wonder Avril had such concerns. If they were allowed to rampage throughout the City of Darkness, the consequences would be unthinkable!

"What exactly is going on?" Alex furrowed his brow and asked in a low voice. He could smell the faint, acrid odor permeating the air, his brow slightly furrowed.

"They are all produced by the radioactive source. We don't fully understand the mechanism yet. I suspect that the radioactive source itself contains some kind of toxin; otherwise, they couldn't have produced such an effect," Avril shook her head, her tone grave.

Hearing this, Alex's eyes flickered, pondering how to resolve this issue. If this situation continued, everyone here would be irradiated, eventually turning into monsters, which would be problematic.

"However, you don't need to worry too much. Noah is already organizing calculations. I believe it won't be long before we figure it out," Avril hurriedly reassured.

She knew that Alex, as the ruler here, was the most concerned. Hearing Avril's words, Alex's brow relaxed.

"You go back first; I'm going to see that commander," Alex said, giving Avril a deep look before speaking.

Avril paused, then nodded and turned to leave. She knew Alex wanted to meet that person alone.

...

By the time Alex arrived at the castle again, the area around it was swarming with countless golden skeleton warriors.

"This guy really fears death, putting so many people to protect him," Alex sneered, then his figure moved swiftly, charging directly into the castle.

"Who goes there?" The two warriors guarding near the castle spotted Alex and immediately shouted in alarm.

"The one who will kill you," Alex snorted coldly.

Boom!

A surge of fierce momentum swept out as Alex's speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, he was beside the two warriors.

Bang, bang!

Alex didn't hold back at all and struck the heads of the two warriors, instantly killing them. Seeing this, several others immediately surrounded him, but at that moment, the commander walked out, unconcerned.

He looked at Alex with a mocking expression. "What's the matter, couldn't handle the radioactive source and now you come to me?"

The corners of the commander's mouth curved into a mocking smile, disdainfully speaking. "Since you already know why I'm here, let's get straight to the point. How can we solve this?"

Alex narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly. "Is there really no one on your planet who can solve this?"

The commander's pupils contracted slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, then he pulled out a set of blueprints from his coat and threw them in front of Alex. "I'm very sincere about collaborating with you. I can tell you how to protect against it, but I have my conditions."

Listening to the commander, Alex directly opened the blueprints. After seeing the annotations, he laughed at himself sarcastically. He had thought the device was profoundly complex, but the ultimate solution turned out to be surprisingly simple and crude.

"Is it that you overestimated my intelligence, or did I overestimate your technology?"

Alex had never imagined that the troublesome radioactive source could be resolved with such a primitive method. "Can radioactive material really be dealt with using lead? Is that such a hard concept to grasp?"
