Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 206: Promise
During Waldo’s high-profile livestreaming process, Ronald closely monitored everything. He was very certain that Waldo and the others were already exhausted at this point.
Moreover, in such a short amount of time, it was basically impossible to replenish the expended ammunition. At this moment, Waldo and the others were in a weakened state. Strike while the iron is hot!
"How are things prepared?" Ronald asked.
At that moment, the person sitting beside him answered, "Our brothers have set up an ambush along his inevitable path. If nothing goes wrong, it won’t be long before Waldo and the others are trapped within our encirclement. By then, he’ll have no way to escape."
The person paused for a moment, then hesitated and continued, "Actually, our brothers can handle Waldo perfectly well without you, Captain, needing to personally oversee. You just need to wait at the camp for good news! However, if you’re there in person, it’s naturally even more foolproof!"
The force under Ronald’s command is called the Black Wolf Brigade. Over time, the brigade has grown to include over a hundred members. Among them are elite survivors. Even the five deputy captains are among the top hundred survivors.
The entire Black Wolf Brigade’s power is extremely formidable, overshadowing the former leading force, the Guard Camp. Like a dark horse, their influence surged in an instant!
As a result, members of the Black Wolf Brigade were almost unrestrained. When Waldo, a man who posed a severe threat to them, appeared, a unanimous decision was quickly reached within the Black Wolf Brigade.
Kill Waldo!
Thus, a well-planned strategy emerged!
They had a lot of confidence in this operation. Almost foolproof!
However, Ronald still had some doubts. He hesitated for a moment, as if contemplating something.
"I’m still not at ease. Killing Waldo may require my personal touch," Ronald said casually. "Waldo isn’t foolish; he must have some tricks up his sleeve. It can’t be this easy to take him down. I must handle this personally for my peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, the other members of the Black Wolf Brigade naturally didn’t dare to voice any objections.
On the other side, Waldo was bidding farewell to the other survivors. He had specifically recruited them to complete his zombie-hunting plan. With the plan now completed, Waldo paid each of them a thousand experience points as compensation. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
As they approached the farewell, a survivor who had previously been in charge of the artillery position stood up. He represented all the survivors present and asked, "Waldo, we are your steadfast supporters, and your fate is ours. We want to follow you. Waldo, on behalf of our brothers, I’d like to ask you: do you have plans to build a force? As long as you nod, we will be your sharp blade!"
His intentions were clear: they hoped Waldo would keep them together. They wanted Waldo to form a force to rival Ronald’s Black Wolf Brigade. However, this matter was very complex, and Waldo had many things to consider. Therefore, he shook his head reluctantly.
"I don’t have plans to build a force at the moment, but it might change in the near future. When that happens, if you want to join, you will be given priority. You are all veterans!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment appeared on everyone’s faces. They were all quite regretful.
However, they quickly adjusted their attitudes. In any case, Waldo had accepted them, and he had mentioned considering this issue in the near future. When the time came, they would be given priority consideration, which was a comforting thought.
Soon, it was time to part ways, and everyone bowed to Waldo.
"Waldo, it has been a fortunate partnership working with you. We have benefited greatly from this operation, and we hope that we can fight alongside you again next time! We look forward to being the sharpest sword in your hands!" Waldo nodded slightly, his mood somewhat complex. He waved goodbye.
Finally, as they departed, he said to their backs, "Go on, stay safe, and the day will come."
After they left, Alanna couldn’t help but chuckle. "Hahaha, why do I always feel like your farewells are filled with a kind of bittersweet emotion, like a farewell between life and death? It’s quite infectious!"
Not only her, but Helen, Binder, and the others all felt the same way. Waldo couldn’t help but smile wryly. "I don’t know why it’s like this. Maybe it’s because they have shown unwavering loyalty, only to be let down by me in the end. But it’s okay; when I build my own force, I’ll find them first."
Helen nodded slightly. "They all have good abilities, and we’ve fought alongside them. They are the most loyal to Waldo and are the most suitable as our core team!"
Soon, Waldo’s group of supporters had gone far and disappeared from view. Binder also transferred over a hundred thousand experience points to Waldo. Seeing the transfer amount, Waldo frowned. "Wasn’t it agreed to split it 80-20? Why did you only take ten thousand?"
Binder seemed to have thought about how to answer this.
Calmly, Binder said, "I’ve made so many experience points thanks to Waldo; ten thousand is enough for me. Waldo, don’t try to convince me, I only want ten thousand, and nothing more!" Despite Waldo’s attempts to persuade him otherwise, Binder remained adamant.
In the end, Binder explained in resignation, "Waldo, you can have it. I can use this to create a lot of videos and write numerous articles later, all of which can earn me money!" Hearing this, Waldo relented.
Initially, it was agreed to split the earnings evenly, then it was changed to 80-20, and now Binder was content with just one-fifteenth. At this point, Waldo’s admiration for Binder had reached its peak.
Shortly afterward, Binder also left. "You must be tired too. Let’s go back and rest for a few days," Waldo said with a smile.
The two women nodded slowly. They had indeed expended a lot of energy during the operation.
As Waldo drove the armored vehicle back to their temporary residence in the West District, Helen seemed to be preoccupied for some reason. Seeing her like this, Waldo couldn’t help but ask, "What’s on your mind, Helen?"
Helen looked worried and said, "Waldo, I was just thinking about Ronald. He must have watched our livestream, and I was wondering, if he has any intentions towards us, would he suddenly make a move today?"
Upon hearing this, Waldo burst into laughter. "Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements for that. Ronald making a move against us? I’m more worried that he won’t make a move! Otherwise, it’ll be hard to find a reason to take him down!"
