Chapter 156

The rotten timber around the latch splintered into sharp pieces. The door swung wildly inward, crashing against the interior wall with a loud bang.

A wave of blinding white snow and freezing air rushed into the room, followed immediately by a dark, chaotic wave of human bodies. Thirty starving, frostbitten citizens spilled through the narrow doorway, pushing and shoving each other in a desperate bid to get out of the killing blizzard outside. They were armed with

    Chapter 166His stiff jaws clamped down on the crust with frantic desperation, trying to bite off a piece.CRUNCH!A sharp, agonizing crack echoed inside his head. A shooting pain flared through his upper jaw as his brittle, freezing tooth chipped against the hard rye crust. Blood filled his mouth, hot and metallic, but Ethan didn't spit it out. He couldn't afford to waste a single drop of liquid or calories. He sucked on the bloody, moldy piece of dry bread, using his own warm saliva to slowly soften the frozen crust so he could swallow it piece by tiny piece.He choked as he swallowed the first small chunk, the dry, rough edges tearing down his dry throat. He kept chewing, weeping hysterically in the dark snowdrift as he swallowed the bitter mixture of dirt, mold, dry rye, and his own blood.He was eating off the frozen floor like a stray, beaten dog, surviving on the literal trash thrown to him by a scavenger.Just fifty yards

    Chapter 165: Ethan’s Fall to the BottomVictor stood under the faint red glow of the secondary gate light, clutching the heavy burlap sack of stale bread crusts tightly against his chest. He looked down at Ethan, who was shivering violently on all fours in the snowdrift. A dark, vicious smile spread across Victor’s cracked, frostbitten lips as he pulled his heavy wool collar tighter around his neck."You want your pay, little corporate man?" Victor barked out, his rough voice carrying over the roaring wind like dry wood snapping. "There it is! Eat up!"Victor turned his back without another word, stepping heavily through the deep powder as he began his trek back down the mountain road toward the abandoned guard shack, leaving Ethan alone in the dark.Ethan didn't chase after him. He couldn't. His legs were numb, heavy, and completely unresponsive, feeling like two blocks of dead wood attached to his hips. He collapsed flat onto his stomach in the

    Chapter 164Aria stared at the monitor for a long moment, watching Victor tremble in the snow. She didn't care about the gold rings, nor did she have any interest in accumulating useless jewelry. However, she understood the cold, logical reality of managing a desperate mob parked half a mile down the road. If she completely refused every attempt at trade, thirty starving, frostbitten people might gather their remaining strength for a reckless, suicidal attack on the outer sensor arrays or fuel lines out of sheer hopelessness. Giving them a tiny scrap of low-value food established complete control over their survival while demonstrating that Mount Sterling possessed infinite resources behind impenetrable walls."Three gold rings for five pounds of hard, stale rye crusts," Aria spoke into the microphone, her voice cold, steady, and completely unyielding. "Nothing more. No fresh bread, no meat, and no wool blankets. Take it or turn around right now and leave the perim

    Chapter 163: The Stale Crust TradeAlexander leaned over the polished glass panel of the terminal, his hand adjusting the camera focus on the shivering figure standing fifty yards behind Victor in the shadows of the massive granite boulder. His face remained calm, professional, and entirely focused as he brought the image into sharp resolution."Look at him," Alexander said, his voice flat and filled with calm disgust as he pointed toward the lower corner of the monitor screen. "He went from pretending to be a wealthy corporate heir in luxury suits to carrying trash buckets for a group of mountain scavengers just to stay alive."Aria stood beside him, holding her warm ceramic mug, looking at the display without a trace of pity in her dark eyes. On the monitor, Ethan was down on his knees in the knee-deep snowdrift, his high-end goose-down parka long gone after being stripped away in the guard shack. He was wearing a thin, torn canvas jacket that offered z

    Chapter 162"Gold!" Victor shouted at the camera lens mounted on the tower. "Pure, solid gold bars! We cleared out the vault of the regional commercial bank down in the valley before the blizzard hit! There are twenty solid gold bars in this bag! Five pounds each! High-grade bullion!"Alexander let out a soft, dry chuckle, shaking his head slowly as he looked at the screen. "Gold? He brought useless metal to a tactical survival bunker during an arctic apocalypse."Victor dropped to one knee in the snowdrift, setting the heavy bag down onto the frozen crust and opening the top flap to reveal the dull, yellowish glint of heavy gold bricks under the faint perimeter indicator lights."Look at it!" Victor pleaded, his voice cracking with desperate emotion. "This is wealth! This is millions of dollars! When the storm passes and society rebuilds, this gold will make you rich beyond belief! I'm not asking for your shelter! I'm not asking to come insi

    Chapter 161: The Trade ProposalAria stood near the center terminal, holding her warm tea mug. Beside her stood Alexander, her trusted tactical strategist and second-in-command. Alexander’s dark eyes were fixed on the tactical display array, his hand resting casually against his side as he monitored the external perimeter sensors."The perimeter sensors picked up movement near the southern access road," Alexander said, his voice low, steady, and precise as he pointed toward a flickering thermal icon on the primary radar overlay. "It isn't a raid. It’s a single contact moving forward on foot."Aria turned her eyes toward the main wall monitor. She didn't look surprised, nor did she show any sign of tension. "Switch the long-range optics to thermal optical zoom, Alexander. Let's see who is walking down that road in thirty-five below zero weather."Alexander tapped a series of commands into the control panel. The central high-definition screen zoome
