Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System

Chapter 34: Hot Weather, With Air Conditioning

Indeed, as Mia said, Alex had only thought that leveling up would bring numerical enhancements, maybe even to the extent of moving mountains and splitting rocks.

But that wasn't the case.

When he reached level ten, skills were directly unlocked!

Entering this post-apocalyptic world of zombie survival, it seemed like survivors were leveling up and learning skills just like game players.

Alex couldn't understand what the system, or the mastermind behind bringing them to this zombie world, was thinking.

Shaking his head, Alex decided not to dwell on such distant matters.

After all, even if he knew the mastermind, he couldn't do anything about it.

It was more practical to focus on the present.

Turning to Mia, Alex said, "Mia, let's experiment with this Concealment skill and see its benefits."

When you acquire a new skill, you naturally want to master it as soon as possible.

Plus, he couldn't just casually discuss it on the chat channel.

Because he didn't know if he was the only one with this skill.

In the absence of knowledge about others, this would be his trump card.

If he were to carelessly expose his information on the chat channel, it could attract more danger.

He didn't believe he could wake up one day and be at odds with the whole world.

For now, he could only continuously experiment with this skill and fully understand its capabilities.

Mia nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's figure out this Concealment skill together."

After an afternoon of experimentation, the two of them summarized the usage and limitations of this Concealment skill.

When using the Concealment skill, one would completely hide oneself, including their shadow.

However, it couldn't block sound.

During the experiment, Mia was able to judge Alex's approximate location several times from his breathing and footsteps.

It's crucial to note that zombies have very sensitive senses of smell.

This point is key.

Both of them unanimously agreed that this Concealment skill was perfectly suited for assassination or for use in noisy environments.

Especially for infiltrating enemy territory.

Survivors didn't have the sharp hearing and smell like zombies.

For Alex, acquiring the Concealment skill was no less valuable than finding a golden-tier loot box.

He was very satisfied.

On the second day after Alex reached level ten and mastered the Concealment skill, the climate of this world experienced its second change since the last heavy rain.

When they woke up early in the morning, Alex and Mia were awakened by the heat.

Considering the time, it was currently supposed to be cool and refreshing autumn weather, not hot enough to wake them up.

But the fact was, they woke up drenched in sweat, with their backs soaked.

Even though it was early morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Although the intense UV rays didn't directly shine on Alex, the room he lived in faced the sun and had already turned into an oven.

Alex got out of bed, shielding his eyes with his hand, and looked outside.

It seemed like the streets were distorted by the high temperature.

Alex sighed.

This weather was almost as bad as the Sahara Desert.

Alex touched the iron grilles of the window with his hand, and it took several minutes for his hand to stop feeling the burning sensation.

"It looks like we won't be able to go out today. Going out in this weather would probably result in heatstroke or dehydration," Alex said with some resignation.

He had wanted to take Mia out today and help her reach level ten as well, to verify whether the skill was exclusive to him.

But now there was no choice but to stay in the villa and rest properly.

He could also check the trading platform for goods.

Maybe he'd get lucky and find some good stuff lying around.

Even if he couldn't find satisfactory items, Alex still had some things to sell.

The unlimited supplies he had obtained in the past few days were mostly daily necessities like shampoo, body wash, and laundry detergent.

Surely, there were people who needed these items.

Even though taking a bath is a very luxurious thing nowadays, there are always people who can't resist it.

After so many days without bathing, one could almost pass for a vagrant.

With these unlimited resources, if one could trade for some of Alex's scarce reserves, such as steel sheets, lime, alum, and other hardware supplies, as well as chemical materials, it would definitely be worth it.

Running the cold air conditioning, eating homemade cola popsicles.

Alex opened the chat channel, intending to promote his products in public chat.

However, it seems like everyone is complaining about today's extreme weather.

ID 435664: "It's too hot today! I slept on the top of a mountain in the wild, with a tent, half-asleep, I thought I was being carried into an incinerator... now I'm lying on a tree to cool off, but I still feel so hot."

ID 834539: "Who has it worse than me? I got up early today, was planning to hike across a plain, but I watched the sun rise helplessly, now I can't even find a cool place! Damn it, I drank three bottles of water and still not enough, I feel like I'm going to be roasted alive on the plain (crying face)!!"

ID 394793: "The temperature today is outrageous, more so than our previous understanding, try not to go out if you can help it, if you must be outside, try to wear sunscreen and long sleeves, otherwise you might really get sunburned to death."

ID 837291: "Exactly, even the Middle East desert isn't this hot, this temperature, it can definitely roast people alive!"

ID 324655: "There's acid rain ahead, now it's high temperatures again, next thing won't be hail...?"

ID 38784: "Can you shut your stinking mouth! Brother, it's not impossible, just afraid of knives falling from the sky, hahaha!"

ID 10086: "It's okay, I have the air conditioning set at 20 degrees, feeling a bit cold (attached picture showing temperature when air conditioning is on), I feel like covering myself with a blanket..."

Many survivors who were typing saw the message Alex sent, their hands froze instantly.

This annoying 10086 is back again.

They began to criticize 10086 as they did in the past.

ID 10000: "10086, you're here to attract hatred again, right?! Haha, but there's nothing to envy, I'm soaking in the bathtub right now, so cool!"

ID 10010: "You, too, are here to show off, right??? Big eyebrows and eyes, didn't expect you to be a guy who betrays companions."

ID 347923: "Hmm... shouldn't you be paying attention to 10086, how come he can use air conditioning?"

ID 495839: "Hiss! Yeah, how can 10086 use air conditioning? Does he have electricity? Holy cow?!"

ID 397454: "No! I can't accept it!! I haven't even eaten my fill, how come someone is living a bourgeois life!"

ID 894759: "Come on, bro, it's been over a week, and you're still struggling to meet basic needs..."

ID 397454: " It's because I'm useless, now I only have two meals a day (tears streaming down face)."

ID 10086: "Ahem, I've been using electricity for several days, you guys hang in there, there will be bread, there will be milk, everything will be there."

ID 93749: "Never thought, even in the end of the world, there are still classes, and I'm still in the miserable poor class."

ID 10086: "Almost forgot to mention, I put some shampoo, shower gel, laundry detergent, and stuff on the shelves, you guys can buy if you want, cheap price, no deception..."
