In the room, Albert was stunned on the spot.

After a few seconds, he let out an “as expected.” Albert could not help but reveal a hint of disappointment.

In the past, his father had always been like this. First, he promised him, but later, he would always be interrupted by other things, resulting in him breaking the appointment.

Of course, he had thought of this possibility before, but he just hadn’t taken it to heart.

But he had never expected that his father would treat him like this when it was related to his maturity ceremony.

“Alright, I think I should try to accept this.”

Albert raised his eyebrows and said casually.

Then, he got up and left the house.

Just as he pushed the door open, he saw Elke and his companions, dressed in full equipment, slowly walking down the street.

This scene naturally attracted the attention of many people in the base.

“Commander Elder!”

“Are they going out again?”

“Commander Elke’s equipment is so cool, especially this phantom mask. No matter how many times I look at it, it still looks super cool!”

“After entering the shelter, this is the first time I’ve seen the commander dressed up as a ‘Demon Hunter’ in the shelter!”

..

The people in the base spoke one after another. The young man, the women, and the children all looked at Elke and the others with admiration.

The most eye-catching one was naturally Elke.

The commander, Elke, was currently wearing a windbreaker, elbow pads, knee pads, and a dagger on his thigh.

The most eye-catching thing was that he was wearing the phantom mask on his face.

The mask made him look like a demon, with its fangs and mysterious veins. It was extremely terrifying.

Of course, Elke didn’t wear this mask to show off.

During the apocalypse, zombies weren’t the only ones who were careful. They were also attacked by their own kind. Wearing the mask was to hide their identity.

It was also because of Elke’s powerful strength.

After three years of fighting, he had killed countless zombies and enemies.

Together with his special outfit, he had left behind a terrifying title: Demon Hunter.

Everyone in the city knew about him!

Now, seeing the Demon Hunter set off again, everyone in Fallout Shelter 043 was excited and kept shouting.

“Is this the demon hunter? He looks so scary!”

“With his fighting strength, what kind of zombies can hurt Elke?”

“Haha, I’m looking forward to their return to the shelter with a full supply of resources!”

..

Elke walked in front of everyone.

At this moment…

He also noticed Albert in the crowd.

As if thinking of something, he left his companions and slowly walked toward Albert with one hand outstretched.

Seeing Elke approaching, Albert subconsciously thought that his father was going to talk about his birthday.

But unexpectedly, in the next second, Elke’s hand landed heavily on his shoulder.

“Albert, remember to finish the homework that I have arranged for you every day.”

After a slow sound, Elke turned around again and looked at a middle-aged man standing beside him.

“Gretel, when I go out, you will be leading the shelter.”

“Okay,” Gretel nodded.

After saying that, Elke left with his men.

Watching this scene from the side, Albert could not help but feel helpless again.

Alright, maybe he shouldn’t think too much.

As he thought about it, he subconsciously looked at the man named Gretel beside him.

Gretel was the second-in-command of Fallout Shelter 043. He was already over 50 years old. He also had strong muscles and a white beard.

He was usually very capable in the base and had a balanced relationship with Elke.

This was also decided unanimously by the base members. Their goal was to not let one side take over.

As soon as Elke had left, Gretel quickly began to give orders to the people.

“Alright, alright. The commander has left. Everyone, don’t be distracted and continue to work.”

“Robin, is the food ready? It has to be distributed to the base members at noon on time.”

“Lancaster, remember to wash the clothes on time. We have to ensure that our soldiers have clean clothes to change into every day!”

“…”

Similar sentences were said one after another.

Albert had no intention of staying here.

He thought of the homework Elke had told him to finish before he left.

He turned around and left, returning to his room all the way.

After rummaging around in front of the table, Albert found a diary. There was some helplessness in his eyes.

This… was the homework his father had given him.

This diary was said to be homework, but it was more appropriate to call it the code of survival at the end of the world.

It recorded Elke’s experiences after the end of the world, which could help people better survive at the end of the world.

This was also what Elke wanted him to learn.

Thinking of this, Elke opened the first page of the diary.

A sentence was written on the title page.

“The end is near.”

“Humans struggle to survive in the darkness.”

“But even if God had forsaken us, we will not give up even the slightest glimmer of hope.”

“Because it is hope!”

..

After looking at this line of jargon.

“Dad really knows how to write inspiring things.” Albert rested his chin on one hand, feeling a little helpless.

As he flipped to the next page, he said casually, “But what’s the use? This world has long been broken.”

The second page of the notebook recorded all kinds of survival rules.

1. During doomsday, water and food were more important than any resources!

2. Don’t trust anyone.

3. Use what you can to help others as much as possible.

..

Page after page, until he reached a certain page, a sentence suddenly appeared in front of him.

52. Doomsday is not cold. With the help of many survivors, it is warm.

After reading this sentence.

Albert’s eyes instantly moved.

But gradually, he could not help but smile and said helplessly.

“Talking about warmth in the apocalypse where the strong prey on the weak. It seems that father really misses everyone in his heart, except for his son.”

Albert was actually very disappointed when he said this.

He was even a little angry with his father.

His father now seemed to be bound to a sanctuary, becoming more and more indifferent to him.

Seeing this, Albert, who was getting more and more annoyed, no longer had the mood to continue watching.

At this moment, a bang could suddenly be heard.

“Albert, come out and play with us!”

Albert turned around and four or five figures walked into the room. He asked in surprise, “Rozak?”

The people in front of him were his playmates in the base. Most of them were children of the adults in the shelter or orphans.

Although they were usually not decent, they could still play with them.

Without his father around, he could only play with these people.

“Okay.”

His companions came to play with him, and Albert did not intend to refuse. He smiled and closed his notebook.

The few of them walked out of the door together, chatting and laughing.

Because of the lack of resources and the limited power in the base, it was naturally impossible for them to play online games together like before the apocalypse.

Usually, they would find an empty space in the base and play games like dodgeball.

The game began very soon.

Rozak and the others arranged the ball along the middle of the empty space.

They immediately started fighting.

“Haha, we got the ball!”

“Hit it, hit it, hit it! Anseus, you fool, it’s time to get off the field!”

“Ah? Derek, what are you talking about, you idiot?”

..

As the few of them played the game, one swear word after another came out.

It was obvious.

Rozak and the others were usually like street thugs, stopping their juniors from collecting protection fees from time to time.

It was very repulsive.

However, this didn’t matter to Albert.

As long as there was someone who could play with him.

It was also at this moment.

While everyone was playing the game, they suddenly noticed a figure not far away, which didn’t fit the scene very well.

“Hey, who’s that guy?”

Anseus, who was holding the ball in his hand, stopped and looked at the figure not far away.

It was a young man who looked about the same age as them.

The young man looked somewhat handsome with a cool style

He was wearing a coat and a hood. He leaned against the wall and listened to the MP3 player. He nodded from time to time as if he was immersed in it.

“Hello? This guy actually has an MP3 player!”

Anseus was shocked when he saw the MP3 player in the young man’s hand.

Hearing this, the people at the side also noticed the young man.

Because in the base, the power that everyone could use was limited every month.

Under such a system, it was difficult for ordinary people to even guarantee normal lighting and hot water. Moreover, MP3s consumed a lot of power, so very few people could use them.

Looking at the young man, Rozak was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted.

He pouted and said unhappily, “Oh, it’s that guy, Robert. He’s a weirdo who uses 70% of his power every month to charge MP3s.”

This sentence once again attracted everyone’s attention.

“Robert? Isn’t that Albert’s old friend?”

“Yes, he seems to be a childhood friend.”

“Eh! From the looks of it, he probably killed someone by disturbing his concert!”

“Albert, can you go and tell that weird guy not to disturb our game?”

..

There was a lot of noise around them. Rozak and the others were obviously disgusted by this guy who pretended to be cold and aloof.

However, since Rozak was Albert’s former friend, they didn’t dare to say it out loud, so they could only speak to him like this.

Hearing this, Albert’s expression changed.

But after thinking for a while, he still walked over to his strange friend.
