Apocalypse King System
Chapter 70 70: Morningstar Building [1]

Derick didn't want this to ruin his relationship with his sister. Although he enjoyed playing with women, he wasn't the type to be controlled by lust. He cherished the intimate feeling he had with his sister and it made her feel secure.

Angelica leaned on her brother's shoulder, enjoying his embrace. The atmosphere in the room became quiet, as if they were not in the midst of an apocalypse, but rather like a couple exchanging sweet words on a sunny day.

"Master, there is something important to report..." a woman suddenly barged in and spoke to Derick.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, their intimate moment was interrupted. Angelica saw her brother's expression and gave him a gentle smile, kissing his cheek, before turning to the woman kneeling on the ground and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master, during reconnaissance today, someone discovered survivors in the Morningstar Building, about one kilometer east..." the woman reported promptly.

"Morningstar Building?" Derick pondered for a moment. It was a relatively large shopping mall, one of the well-known buildings in Gray Bear City, built ten years ago. Although not spacious, it had more than twenty floors and was quite renowned.

Looking at the photos on his phone, faint movements could be seen on the rooftop of the building. Derick's eyes lit up. With such a large building, there should be a considerable number of survivors, not to mention the various supplies in the building.

He had been thinking of expanding the influence of the hospital, so starting with the Morningstar Building seemed like a good idea.

"Should I have Zelda drive the armored vehicle and bring some female warriors with you?" Angelica suggested when she saw Derick's interest.

"No need, I just want to go out and have some fun..." Derick waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry. Angelica could only let him go.

Morningstar Building, since the beginning of the apocalypse, had experienced initial chaos. Later, it was occupied by a figure named Earl, who was already one of the most famous figures in the underground world of Gray Bear City, even before the apocalypse. He had connections and influence.

Relying on a smuggled handgun, Earl gathered the survivors in the entire building and established a survivor base. He was ruthless and merciless, killing anyone who resisted and throwing them out to feed the zombies. Few dared to oppose him.

Moreover, Earl had a few trusted followers, all of whom were his subordinates even before the apocalypse. They were tall, fierce-looking individuals. Together with Earl, they relentlessly exploited the remaining survivors.

"Teri, when will the military come for rescue? Why is there still no movement? Are you trying to deceive me?" Earl wore a sinister smile as he looked at a beautiful woman, his gaze filled with desire.

"Don't worry, my husband is the mayor of Gray Bear City, he holds a high position. The higher-ups won't abandon him, they will come to rescue us~" Teri tried to appear calm, but deep down, she was secretly anxious.

When the apocalypse broke out, Teri happened to be shopping in the Morningstar Building. She was chased by zombies and forced to stay there. She knew Earl from before the apocalypse, and back then, she saw him as a bigger ant, something she could crush as she pleased. But now, the tables had turned.

"Is that so? I recall this is the second time you've said that. I don't want there to be a third time. My patience is wearing thin," Earl said coldly. He couldn't bring himself to harm this well-maintained beauty in front of him.

If she were an ordinary person, he wouldn't have so many concerns and would simply take her forcefully. After all, they wouldn't dare to resist, and if they complained, he would throw them out to be food for the zombies. So far, three women had been thrown out, and the other survivors dared not speak up in anger.

However, this woman in front of him made him cautious. After all, the national power hadn't completely collapsed; it was just in chaos. It could regroup at any time, and her identity was not insignificant. If he made a mistake, his power wouldn't be enough to withstand retaliation.

Watching the man walk away, Teri's legs went weak, and she almost sat down on the ground. The man's gaze had terrified her, as if he wanted to devour her, filled with desire and brutality.

"Honey, when will you come to rescue me..." Teri sat fearfully on the chair, looking at her phone.

If she hadn't come up with a clever plan, voluntarily revealing her identity and promising to use a helicopter to evacuate Earl and the others from the besieged building, she would have likely been stripped naked and subjected to his ruthless abuse.

Teri had witnessed the fate of those women who were played with. Two of them couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide after being raped. Another one resisted too fiercely and injured Earl, so he threw her into the horde of zombies, where she was torn to shreds. Teri had witnessed this scene and was already overwhelmed with fear.

Regardless of one's status, in the face of such a dangerous situation, fear and terror were inevitable. Teri was no exception. Although she was the mayor's wife, she had never experienced such a scenario. Watching those women being played with and gang-raped, she feared that one day she would end up in the same situation. In that case, it would be better to die.

With these thoughts in mind, Teri dialed her husband's number on her phone. "Sorry, the number you dialed is not in service," was the immediate response. She stood there in disbelief, feeling incredulous.

Just yesterday, she had spoken to her husband. Her normally gentle husband had made solemn promises that he would send help and rescue her. But now, the phone couldn't connect at all?

Biting her lip, an unbelievable thought crossed her mind. "Could it be that my loving husband would abandon me in this time of crisis?"

The thought terrified Teri, but for her promise to Earl, he hadn't made a move on her yet. She had seen the lustful gaze in his eyes more than once.

On one hand, it was because of her status, and on the other, Earl needed her husband's influence to get himself out of the quagmire of the Morningstar Building. But now, that hope was gone, and she didn't know what he would do.

Teri felt a sense of despair in her heart and couldn't help but feel some resentment towards her husband for abandoning her. But for now, the immediate concern was how to find a way to escape this place. She didn't want to be forced to serve scum like Earl.

Speaking of Earl, after he left the room, his expression became twisted. He had been coveting Teri, the beautiful and well-maintained woman, for a long time. She had a voluptuous figure, an elegant and seductive aura, and she had kept herself in great shape.

Even in her thirties, her skin looked as youthful as someone in their twenties. She possessed both allure and purity. If it weren't for Teri's promise, Earl would have likely succumbed to his lust and had his way with her.

In Earl's room, a classy and beautiful woman covered her body with a sheet on the bed, gazing at the scattered bottles of mineral water on the floor with a hint of longing in her eyes, but she dared not make a move.

For weak and helpless women, the outside world, filled with flesh-eating monsters, was too dangerous. To survive, they had to give up something.

In peaceful times, this kind of sacrifice might involve their own efforts, youth, or a bit of self-esteem. But now, it required giving up their bodies, dignity, and even their souls.

With the apocalypse having begun nearly a week ago, many families had exhausted their food and water supplies, and the first phase of survival crisis had arrived. Many unimaginable things from peaceful times began to happen in the apocalypse, gradually becoming the norm and evolving towards a perverse direction.

The woman was an elite, or rather, a white-collar worker if based on her salary. She could afford to buy a house and a car in this expensive city with her income alone. She had always been dismissive of the pursuit of other men.
