Chapter 548

作者: Memo Harbor
When Florian heard that the explosives had vanished, he exploded in fury. Everything had gone smoothly. They were one step away from blowing open Cyrus's shelter.

Now someone was telling him that 1,000 pounds of TNT had simply disappeared. Was this some kind of joke?

"How could the explosives just vanish? Did Cyrus steal them?" Florian demanded through gritted teeth.

One failed attempt did not frighten him. The West Ridge Base had no shortage of weapons or ammunition. They still had enough ex

  • The Apocalypse Hoarder   Chapter 583

    Although Cyrus thoroughly disliked Magnus as a person, he could not deny one thing.Magnus was right.Cyrus found himself recalling his own experiences from his days as a warehouse manager.As a low-level employee, he had to tread carefully, constantly currying favor with supervisors and senior staff. Even someone just one rank above him was enough to make him rack his brains, trying to anticipate their intentions and adjust his behavior accordingly.After years of grinding work, he finally became a supervisor, managing around eight people. That was the first time he truly tasted how intoxicating power could be.With a casual sentence assigning tasks, others had to exhaust themselves to complete them. At group dinners, dishes were always ordered according to his preferences. Even the fish head had to face him. When they went out singing, the girls always sat beside him.And that was only the authority of a warehouse supervisor.The higher one climbed, the more seductive power be

    "If I were the kind of person you describe, I would have died in the first days of the apocalypse," Cyrus said flatly.He had seen those people before.In his past life, Kenneth died because of self-sacrifice. He gave his food to the elderly and the children, then froze and starved to death.There were other kind-hearted youths as well, people who clung to justice and paid for it with their lives.Cyrus was not without kindness. He simply understood that kindness did not belong in the Frostfall. He sealed that part of himself away and showed it only to those he trusted.His refusal to budge irritated Magnus. Only then did Magnus realize that this cold young man would not be easy to handle.Since moral pressure had failed, only self-interest remained."Then let us speak plainly," Magnus said. "My real purpose today is to invite you to join the West Ridge Order."Cyrus did not react. He only sneered. "Join the West Ridge Order? Sounds like an expensive entry fee.""I can lower t

    "And I could also reach out to the other factions in Volaris City," Cyrus continued lazily. "Tell them West Ridge Base is thin on defenses. What do you think they would do with that information?"It was mostly a bluff. Cyrus did not actually know any other factions.But Volaris had once held over 20,000,000 people. Other organized survivor groups had to exist.Magnus understood that very well.For the first time, a flicker of tension crossed his mind. Outwardly, however, he remained composed."Cyrus, you're still too young." He sighed, as if addressing a reckless junior. "You rush to violence when better solutions exist. I reached out because I want peace. I know the Volmart South Cretora warehouse supplies are in your possession. That amount of material would last ten lifetimes. What use is it sitting with you?"Cyrus denied it at once. "Not me. Never happened. Don't slander me."Even with undeniable evidence, he would never admit it.Cyrus kept his windfall quiet. Fame drew k

    Magnus continued smoothly, "In fact, West Ridge often assists the survivors we discover. The mark we left was meant to reassure you. It would have made it easier for us to provide aid later. And yet you repaid that kindness with hostility. That is regrettable indeed."Cyrus almost laughed. After hearing what Ilyana and the students had endured, he knew exactly what kind of "aid" West Ridge provided. The man could act.Cyrus waved a hand dismissively. "I don't care what you think. I care what I think. I decided they were intruders, so they were intruders. And I killed them. What about it?"The blatant indifference threw Magnus off rhythm. He had expected to guide the conversation, to layer his arguments, to entangle Cyrus in a moral framework. Instead, Cyrus flipped the board again.'Yes, I killed them. No, I don't care about your narrative. No moral leverage. If I carry no moral burden, you cannot bind me with it.'Magnus's face darkened."Regardless, you acted before clarifying

    This was the first time Cyrus and Magnus met face to face, even if only through a screen.Magnus had already reviewed Cyrus' full profile, or at least everything from before the Frostfall. Based on that file, he felt confident.In his view, Cyrus was nothing more than an averagely educated young man with a measure of nerve and boldness. He had no political background, no executive experience, and not even a white-collar profession.In the old world, someone like him would never have qualified to stand in the same room as Magnus. That certainty showed in Magnus' calm smile."Hello. You must be Cyrus."Cyrus felt no warmth toward him. The man appeared gentle and refined, but after hearing Ilyana's account of the West Ridge Base, Cyrus knew exactly how ruthless he was."You're the leader of the West Ridge Order?" Cyrus replied evenly, a polite but cold smile on his face. "How should I address you?""My name is Magnus Blackwell.""Mr. Blackwell," Cyrus said lightly. "What brings yo

    Magnus told Florian, "The supplies Cyrus holds are valuable. I value the man as well. If you can't take him quickly by force, then in my view, negotiation is a viable option."Magnus had no intention of dragging this out for half a year. Even Florian's proposed six months might not be feasible.A muscle jumped in Florian's cheek. Heat flared in his chest. "You want to negotiate with him?"Dozens of his comrades had died. Would that be brushed aside?"Everything is for the base," Magnus said firmly, fingers interlaced. "Florian, think beyond personal anger."Florian did not dare disobey. Magnus had once been his superior officer in the army. Now he was West Ridge's leader. Discipline ran deep in Florian's bones."Yes. I will follow all your orders."Magnus nodded, satisfied. "Good. For the next few days, do not stop the assault. Increase the pressure as well. We need leverage for negotiations."Magnus would not approach Cyrus yet. Not while Cyrus held the advantage. If he made t

    [Jack is a devil! He broke into three homes and robbed them.][He shot the two young people in 301. They tried to fight back, and he just killed them.][The others in 302 and 401 were terrified and handed over all their food and water.][With no food left, aren't we just waiting to die?]The cha

    Mindy frowned. "But Percy said their security door is solid. We're not Jack's crowd. We don't know how to do this kind of thing."Percy nodded. "Yeah. And Cyrus was disgusting. Last time we knocked, he poured urine on us from above."The memory turned Diana's and Natalie's stomachs. The smell had

    Cyrus lit the stink bombs and tossed them through the firing slot above the door. The moment they hit the ground, thick black smoke gushed out, spreading rapidly through the corridor. The stench was unbearable, like someone had just cracked open a jar of feces sealed for ten years.Diana and Natali

    Every time Natalie posted one of her carefully edited photos online, countless people flooded the comments with compliments on her beauty.As humiliation coursed through her, an angry scream exploded in her ears.
