Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 97: Contrast
Sheriff is, after all, the leader of a large team, and naturally cannot lose his sense of proportion due to such a small temptation.
Even though he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva just now, it was a completely subconscious action.
Just like quenching thirst by looking at plums.
In an extremely thirsty situation, as long as he hears the words "Yang Mei" (a type of fruit), and imagines the scene of its sour and juicy taste, his saliva can’t help but flow.
Sheriff couldn’t avoid this physiological reaction caused by his subconscious, but he could quickly suppress the distractions in his mind with his own willpower.
In the old world, Sheriff was not a police officer.
He was a mercenary, living a life of bloodshed and danger all year round.
He had high demands on himself.
Although grilled meat smells good, he believed that the taste of killing enemies with his own hands could bring him a greater pleasure from deep within his soul.
As for the origin of the police station and Sheriff, it was purely because Sheriff had aspired to become a police officer since he was a child.
When he was young, he trained his body diligently, excelling in various martial arts and combat techniques, and consistently ranked first in the school’s grade list.
Teachers and classmates praised him endlessly.
He was such a young man who won numerous awards, excelled in both academics and character, and had great ambitions for society.
Everyone believed that he could easily achieve his goals. However, a philosopher once said, "Tragedy is to destroy something valuable in life for people to see."
Sheriff never thought that this sentence would be realized in himself.
In a peaceful life, one day suddenly, those tall figures in uniforms knocked on his home’s anti-theft door and took away his father.
Sheriff and his mother were not worried for too long.
The man who was a husband and father was sentenced to death and immediately executed.
The reason was trafficking in contraband.
This was a heavy blow to Sheriff.
The mainstay of the family fell, and he, who was still studying, felt lost.
But cruel reality once again struck Sheriff, who had wanted to stand up and shoulder the burden for his family. He was knocked down heavily again.
His mother committed suicide by hanging on the second night.
Subsequently, Sheriff’s house was confiscated.
Sheriff, without any relatives, disappeared, and no one saw him again.
He went to Southeast Asia, picked up a gun, and became a mercenary.
From that moment on, his life trajectory changed.
Sheriff was ruthless and quickly rose to power.
In a few years, he became the second in command in his mercenary team.
The boss trusted him and admired his ruthlessness.
Especially towards his compatriots, he seemed to carry some kind of hatred.
Sheriff did not disappoint the boss’s trust. He killed the boss, took possession of the boss’s wife and daughter, and took over the team.
Scorpion was also among them.
Years of high position and power made Sheriff’s desire for power grow stronger.
He couldn’t stand his team being inferior to others.
His subordinates couldn’t show any envy towards other teams in front of him.
Such behavior wouldn’t be tolerated even in the doomsday world.
The police station was still his, Sheriff’s!
Knowing Sheriff’s temperament well, Scorpion shivered subconsciously.
He immediately realized that the words he just said to the drone had already displeased Sheriff.
In the old world, some brothers said the wrong words, like complaining about our team’s treatment being lower than the team next door, and Sheriff executed them in front of all the brothers and kicked their bodies into the sea to feed the fish.
Now he didn’t take action, purely because of the years of loyalty Scorpion had to Sheriff.
But come a few more times,
No, it’s just one more time, and Scorpion can’t even guarantee if he still has his head!
Scorpion can only quickly reflect on his actions.
Boss, I was wrong, I didn’t mean it! Blame it on my momentary confusion!
Then, in full view of everyone, Scorpion even slapped himself twice.
The force was so strong that both sides of his cheeks immediately swelled up.
Only then did Sheriff glance at him, slightly calming down.
Alright, don’t let it happen again. Keep monitoring and fly lower.
Scorpion nodded and hurriedly tried to fly the drone lower.
The people at the police station didn’t waste any time because of the little incident just now, and continued to closely watch the movements of Waldo and the others on the villa balcony.
In the video, Waldo was eating skewers and saying they were delicious to Alanna and Helen.
However, both women were dissatisfied with his answer, considering it too perfunctory.
Alanna pouted and coquettishly said, "That won’t do, you have to be clear, who grills better?"
The relationship between Waldo and Alanna became even closer, and their address for each other had changed from the original slightly unfamiliar use of their names to the affectionate terms of an old married couple.
Helen, hearing this, also raised an eyebrow.
Feeling a bit competitive, she stared at Waldo with intense eyes.
Seeing the two of them forcing him to give an answer, Waldo felt a headache coming.
If he said who grilled better, wouldn’t he offend the other one?
Waldo showed a pained smile and hesitated to speak.
At this moment, Alanna burst into laughter and teased, "Just kidding!"
If you dare say that neither of us grills well, I won’t let you eat, and you can grill by yourself!
Helen also smiled.
Just now, she and Alanna had a tacit understanding and didn’t discuss it beforehand, but they both set up a trap for Waldo.
Only then did Waldo realize what was going on.
Okay! You two are playing tricks on me! Watch how I deal with you!
The three of them laughed and started chasing each other around the balcony.
The people at the police station looked strange.
Could it be that the remote drone they spent precious resources to obtain today is only capturing a handsome man and two beautiful girls having a BBQ and playing on the balcony during a holiday date?
Wouldn’t this deal be a huge loss?!
