Chapter 279

Penulis: Memo Harbor
After hearing Cyrus' words, Kenneth was so moved that he did not know how to respond.

"This… This is really too much trouble for you. Your supplies are limited as it is. With three more mouths to feed, even the coal for heating would double. When I recover, I'll move out. I still have arms and legs. I can't just live off you."

Cyrus smiled. "Let's not talk about that right now. Focus on getting better. We'll sort out everything else later."

Just then, the baby in Cyrus' arms let out a piercing cry and burst into tears. Cyrus had no experience with babies at all, and the way he held her was completely wrong. She woke almost at once and began wailing without pause.

He tried to soothe her in a rush, but nothing he said worked. The crying only grew louder. His head started to pound. Even when dozens of people had tried to kill him, he had never felt a headache like this.

Kenneth was no help either. At home, Chloe had always been the one to care for the baby. With no other option, Cyru

    Kenneth took it surprisingly well.Anyone who had lived through the Frostfall tended to see things more clearly. After witnessing enough life and death, emotions dulled. Besides, he and Chloe had been a halfway couple from the start. There had never been much of a foundation between them. He was not about to collapse over her death.Seeing Kenneth's reaction, Cyrus felt quietly satisfied."That's easy, then," Cyrus said with a smile. "I'll definitely pick someone you'll be happy with."As they spoke, Zoey walked in with the crying baby in her arms. She looked lost. "Cyrus, Kenneth, she's crying again. What am I supposed to do?"Cyrus and Kenneth exchanged a look. Both faces were completely blank.Taking care of a baby was far beyond them. One was a lifelong bachelor. The other was a seasoned brawler. Neither had the slightest experience."She's probably hungry," Cyrus said.His gaze flicked to Zoey, then settled, all too naturally, on her full, round, substantial chest. If she

    Vincent was an outsider, but in his previous life, he had died even more miserably than Cyrus. The rich heir had been too flashy, flaunting his wealth in the group chat to buy supplies. He had painted a target on his own back. Back then, his family's home had been among the first to be broken into.Cyrus' road of revenge had finally ended. Nothing weighed on his mind anymore. The world felt cleaner, sharper. Even breathing came easily.Cyrus let out a long, satisfied breath. "Ahh, this feels good."From this moment on, no one left in Cervusa Residence posed a threat to him. The days ahead were meant to be enjoyed.That was assuming he and Vincent first dealt with Severin's so-called doomsday bunker, the one rumored to withstand even an H-bomb. After that, he would leave this place behind and erase his trail for good.Cyrus slung the assault rifle across his back and headed home.Before entering Kenneth's sickroom, he carefully wore an expression of grief."Kenneth, I've got some

    Cyrus pressed himself into the corner of the corridor and braced the riot shield tight against his body. The explosion was louder than he had expected. Pain stabbed through his ears as his eardrums rang. The blast itself did not reach him. Dust and fragments rained down from the walls instead.He released a long, controlled breath.With the shield raised and a chambered assault rifle in his other hand, Cyrus advanced toward the door of 1301, one careful step at a time.The sight inside finally loosened the tension in his body. The grenades had done their job. More than a dozen people lay scattered across the room. Furniture had been blown over, pinning some of them beneath its weight so that only parts of their bodies showed.In the corner, a man soaked in blood struggled for a long time and failed to rise. He glared at Cyrus with naked hatred.Blood spilled from his mouth as he shouted, his voice thick with rage, "We helped you so much. Why did you kill us?"Betrayal burned in h

    Cyrus' face tightened with urgency.Kenneth was just as anxious. "Cyrus, hurry. Go check on her. Don't let anything happen."Cyrus nodded. "Zoe, take care of Kenneth and the baby. I'm going out to take a look."With that, he turned and left at once. Back in his room, he began to gear up. He strapped on body armor and ballistic pants, fastened his tactical belt, and secured his pistol and knife. An M4 rifle followed, slung neatly over his shoulder.The visor of his ballistic helmet snapped down with a sharp click. He was ready.Cyrus took out his phone and sent a message to the residents' group.[Everyone, gather at Room 1301 on the 13th floor. I'll distribute supplies and decide the future division of the Cervusa buildings. You may choose buildings freely. First come, first served.]After that, he sent a second message, this one directly to Vincent.[Stay home.]He slipped the phone back into his pocket and stepped outside. His pace remained unhurried, yet even from a distance

    Chloe fixed Cyrus with a deliberate, teasing stare. "So when I come back later, you won't refuse to let me in, right?"Cyrus snorted. "Listen to yourself. What kind of person do you take me for? Kenneth is still here. If I didn't open the door for you, what would that make me?"Chloe smiled craftily. Without warning, she pushed the baby in her arms straight into Cyrus' embrace. "Alright then. Help me look after the baby for a bit. I'll be right back."She was certain that neither Cyrus nor Zoey knew the first thing about caring for a baby. As long as she left the child behind, Cyrus would have no choice but to let her back in.Her little scheme was perfectly clear to him. He sneered inwardly. Did she really think he would not dare throw the baby out?On the surface, he kept a gentle smile. "No problem. But Chloe, you'd better come back quickly. I'm afraid I won't be very good at taking care of a baby."Chloe's smile turned smug. "Don't worry. I don't plan to stay outside any long
