Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Alex moved swiftly, and the five former pastoral feminist warriors, now turned female dogs, had their heads cleanly severed, landing in unison on the ground. After collecting the bodies into the spatial envelope, Alex's figure disappeared once again.

Not long after, a group of soldiers rushed in from the door. The middle-aged man with a big belly, referred to as the captain, quickly ran in as well. Upon seeing the bloodstains on the beach, he immediately roared in frustration, "Damn it! What the hell is going on!! Now, there are only two women left in our shelter. This can't meet our needs for cultivation!!"

"Bad news!" The middle-aged man realized the gravity of the situation and immediately ran outside, shouting, "Quick! Go protect those two maids! Those two maids must not be harmed!"

However, it was already too late.

The bodies of the two maids had also been collected into Alex's spatial envelope.

The consecutive use of teleportation caused a rapid decline in Alex's mental strength. Although mental strength would recover, the current level had reached a dangerously low threshold. For safety reasons, Alex had to take a temporary break, waiting for mental strength to replenish.

With a flash, Alex once again appeared in a secluded forest outside the Mages' Union Shelter in the Magic Capital Ocean Park.

Taking out a bottle of drink and a few pieces of chocolate from the spatial bag, Alex began to replenish stamina and mental strength.

"Everyone, gather for me! Search! Search for me! I don't believe that so many people can just disappear out of thin air!"

Meanwhile, the frustrated middle-aged man with a big belly initiated a full-scale mobilization. Apart from the guards responsible for protecting the Evil King Whale, all other soldiers were fully armed, conducting a thorough search throughout the entire Oceanarium Shelter.

Observing the chaos unfolding within the Magic Capital Oceanarium Shelter, Alex, leaning against a tree while enjoying food, displayed a cold smirk on his lips.

Without women, let alone the Evil King Whale, even these soldiers wouldn't last long! All Alex had to do was wait patiently, and he could smoothly take over this shelter, effortlessly obtaining the corpses of A-level zombies!

However, just as Alex was patiently waiting for these people to self-destruct in the Oceanarium Shelter, not far from the shelter in a camp surrounded by cars, several women were excitedly cheering with a radio in hand.

"This is great! Really great! Unexpectedly, the Oceanarium Shelter has received protection from the military and has become a genuine refuge! Now, we all have a chance to be saved!"

"Hard work pays off! Finally, we've found a shelter! With military protection, we can safely settle down, and we won't have to worry about food and safety anymore!"

Several women hugged each other in excitement, tears welling up in their eyes.

They quickly informed the others in the camp about Alex's revelation.

This was a survivor team, consisting of a total of 11 men and 6 women.

These people didn't have firearms, but each had crafted their own makeshift weapons for self-defense. They were well-armed and included 4 men and 4 women who were mutants.

"I think we should still be cautious. It's the apocalypse, and even the military can't guarantee purity. With our current strength, we're likely to be bullied once we go over there. Us men might be enslaved, and as for you women..."

A young mutant man, who appeared somewhat refined, frowned and expressed his concern.

"What's wrong with us women? What's wrong with us?!! Are you looking down on us women?" A tall and assertive beauty holding a walkie-talkie pointed accusingly at the young man and scolded, "Don't think like a villain! The military won't be as vile as you all are! Always harboring such thoughts!"

"What if they're not military personnel? What if this is a trap? What if they're criminals? What are we going to do then? I don't agree with recklessly going over!"

A robust, injured mutant man stood up, vehemently protesting.

"I see you pathetic men are scared, huh?! So what if they're criminals? Criminals are still better than you useless bunch! As long as they can provide us with food and a safe life, I don't mind being their woman!" A glasses-wearing, slightly plump woman spoke aggressively, pointing at a silent man, "Look at your pathetic attitude! How did I end up marrying such a useless wimp back then!"

"He Juan! What are you saying? What do you mean by that? Brother Liang risks his life every day to find food for you. How is he useless? How is he mistreating you?" Another young man couldn't help but stand up to refute.

"Hmph! Do you still have the face to speak?! It's only right for dear husbands to take care of their wives, isn't it? Other men buy jewelry and skincare products for their wives, but this useless wimp only brings me some trash jewelry. Tell me, isn't he a useless wimp?!" The plump woman continued to scold with arrogance.

The nearby women also chimed in, "Exactly! What's wrong with what Sister Juan said? The food you find is getting scarcer and more unappetizing. We can't even eat enough. Following you, we're bound to starve to death!"

"You're so capable, if you have the ability, go find food yourselves! We bring back food for you, and you still complain. If you're so capable, go find it yourselves!" The young man argued with flushed face.

"If we find it ourselves, what do we need you men for? Speaking like this, do you even have any shame? If we find food ourselves, what use do you men have? All of you can just go die, what's the point of keeping you? We women bear the mission of perpetuating humanity! Without us women, let's see how you can continue your lineage!" He Juan scolded with hands on her hips in a righteous tone.

He Juan's beloved quickly pulled the young man, urging him to sit down. However, the young man had no intention of backing down, continuing to retort with frustration, "So, what do you women do? You do nothing, just let us serve you every day, providing you with food and drink, yet you still complain all the time! Tell me, what do we men need you women for?"

At this moment, another woman stood up, sneering and said, "Hong, do you know why you can't find a girlfriend? It's because of your ignorant mindset! Haven't you heard a saying? I'm responsible for being beautiful, and you're responsible for earning money to support the family! You men can't even do this basic thing. How can you deserve to have a wife or a woman?"

"Hong! If you're not satisfied, you can get lost. What's wrong with men taking care of women? Isn't that what should happen? Are you still considered a man?" A very handsome young man stood up, assisting the women in scolding the young man, "I!!" The young man suddenly felt defeated, slumping down on the ground, silent and despondent.

Here, the situation originally favored more men than women, and among the three women, two were a married couple. Therefore, the remaining three women became the objects of competition for many single men.

These single men knelt and fawned over the three women, trying various ways to win their favor. Initially, some men succeeded in pursuing women by fiercely protecting them and finding food for their desired women. Gradually, they earned the women's favor and successfully won over their desired partners.

However, as time went on, these women began to feel entitled, and their demands on men became increasingly stringent. Previously, they would be grateful for any food given to them, but now they not only wanted food but also demanded jewelry, clothing, skincare products, and cosmetics!

They not only disregarded the life and death of men but also spoke extremely sarcastically and harshly. They completely looked down on the men in their squad, considering them nothing more than their lapdogs.

In this situation, feminist ideas began to emerge among these women. They united and formulated various rules to restrain men, while becoming increasingly liberated themselves. They demanded that men prioritize finding food for them and also fulfill their whims for various extravagant items, such as designer handbags and necklaces.

These items were hard to afford even before the apocalypse, let alone afterward, when major shopping centers had turned into hell on earth, infested with zombies. It was challenging for men to acquire such items, so they had to resort to hunting and killing zombies to obtain these treasures.

The lives of men became more and more arduous in this challenging environment.

The women, on the other hand, became more and more demanding. Especially those married women, witnessing other women being pampered by men and secretly engaging in romantic acts with the handsomest man in the group, they also felt tempted.

At times, when their own beloveds were absent, they would secretly have intimate moments with that pretty boy. Moreover, they even gave the food their beloved risked their lives to find to the pretty boy.

Several times, Hong witnessed how He Juan, in pursuit of romantic affairs with the pretty boy, gave away the food meant for her beloved. Consequently, her beloved was left with nothing to eat and often went hungry.

Since Hong didn't try to please women, the food he found was kept for himself. Sometimes, out of pity for He Juan's beloved, he would share some with him.

He always felt that these women were going too far. However, every time he protested, not a single man stood up to support him. Instead, some men refuted him, trying to please the other women.

As for the pretty boy, he was purely an opportunist. Relying on his handsome face, he never ventured out to collect supplies, surviving solely on the support of these women. Moreover, he could freely pursue relationships with the women in this group.

Lately, this pretty boy became more outrageous. Not only did he engage in affairs with He Juan, who was married, but he also flirted with two other women who had their own beloveds.

Hong had actually stumbled upon such incidents several times, but he had kept silent. He believed that the beloveds of these three women must be aware of the situation but chose to endure the torment of wearing a cuckold's hat in silence.

Those women often humiliate their husbands in public and openly declare their intention to dissolve their marital relationships and engage with other men. The three married men were already a vulnerable group, and they were well aware that there were several men in the group stronger than them, all of whom had been eyeing their wives.

If these men were to take away their wives, they might end up with no women in the future. Hence, they had to endure silently, knowing that their wives were cuckolding them. They even went out of their way to please their wives, fearing that their wives might actually leave them for someone else.

Because, even before the apocalypse, they were accustomed to their wives' unreasonable and irrational behavior, they now endured the mistreatment without resistance.

In recent times, the women's feminist ideology had become increasingly strong, and they became more presumptuous. They even united to introduce a set of rules:

Men, being stronger and having a better chance of surviving in the apocalypse, should venture out to take risks, find food, and gather resources to support women.

Women are free to engage in any relationship with the men of their choice, and other men (including their husbands) are not allowed to interfere. Women's bodies belong to themselves, and they can give themselves to whomever they choose.

As women are considered weaker than men and cannot compete fairly for resources, priority is given to women in food distribution, and men can only receive leftovers.

If a man wants the favor of a woman but doesn't have it naturally, he must use sufficient food and some special resources as a barter, with clear pricing and no deception.

Though Hong was just an 18-year-old young man, he had heard about the decadent and twisted ideology of the pastoral feminist movement. The rules proposed by these women were a fervent promotion of pastoral feminist ideology.

It's almost like two sides of the same coin! Hong still remembered reading a summary of pastoral feminist ideology online:

1. Self-perceived female inferiority and male superiority, where female occupations are considered shameful, and engaging in traditionally male roles is seen as honorable. As "feminists," they naturally oppose women taking on "lowly female jobs."

2. Acknowledging female inferiority and believing that women cannot compete with men fairly for societal resources, resulting in receiving less. As "feminists," they advocate for distribution systems that lean more towards females to pursue "gender equality."

3. Pastoral feminists often embrace the objectification of women, similar to certain aspects of male chauvinism. They enjoy self-objectification and do not recognize personal will as part of rights (such as family ties or romantic relationships), only acknowledging materialistic exchanges. Goods do not require personal preferences; goods only need to fetch a good price.

In essence, they sell themselves at a high price like a prized horse. This is why pastoral feminism is often labeled as "pseudo-feminism." In simple terms, these pastoral feminists are nothing more than parasites trying to feed off the male-dominated society.
