Chapter 65

Author: Memo Harbor
At that moment, Percy felt Diana clutch his arm. Even through eight layers of clothing, that faint pressure sent a surge of triumph through his chest.

He straightened immediately and declared, "Haha, alright! Don't worry, Diana! Leave this to me!"

Seeing his confidence, Diana added, "But you have to be careful. Cyrus is selfish and shameless. If we try to take his place, he might fight back."

"That's why we need weapons. And it's best if we strike first!" Percy shot back.

Natalie chimed in from the side, her eyes flashing with hatred. "I say we just kill him outright!"

She hated Cyrus more than anyone. She had sent him racy selfies, and instead of being moved, he had dismissed her as too ugly. If that ever got out, she would rather die. To her, Cyrus had to die.

Percy hesitated. Killing someone? It sounded easy in theory, but they had lived in a civilized society for over 20 years. Crossing that line wasn't simple.

Upon noticing his hesitation, Diana's face darkened. "What? You

  • The Apocalypse Hoarder   Chapter 70

    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 Natalie gagged on the spot."Ugh, what the hell is this? Bleeerrgh!""Cyrus… Ugh… You're disgusting!"The foul reek only grew stronger and flooded the stairwell. Both women clutched their stomachs, vomiting as they stumbled away in a panic.Cyrus had no concern about the smell seeping back inside. Once he closed the firing slot, his apartment was practically sealed. The place had been renovated with an air-filtration system that could keep out stench or any harmful air.Cyrus burst into laughter as he watched through his monitors the two women stagger down the hallway and retching uncontrollably.But soon after, a complaint arrived from his next-door neighbors.[Cyrus, what the hell did you

    The moment that topic came up, it reignited everyone's fury. When the snow had first started falling, even in the bitter cold, some people still wanted to go out and stock up on supplies.However, Linda had kept spamming the group chat, insisting the snowstorm would soon pass. She had even claimed that anyone hoarding supplies would be "dealt with."Because of her, no one dared to shop. Then, just a few days later, the blizzard sealed off all the roads. Going out became impossible. If not for her lies, at least everyone could have stocked up for another half a month."Damn old hag, look what you've done!""It's all your fault, you cursed wretch!"The neighbors cursed Linda furiously. Soon after, the voice message of the rich heir, Vincent, popped up in the chat."I'll buy supplies at a high price. Food, water, whatever! I'll pay 2,000 dollars for a pack of pasta and 1,000 dollars for a bottle of mineral water!"By then, a pack of pasta was selling for 1,000 dollars. Vincent was

    Diana fussed over her sofa, wrinkling her nose at Percy, who reeked of piss. At the door just moments ago, he had taken the full force of Cyrus' so-called "baptism."She immediately snapped at him, yelling for him to get off the sofa.Percy felt utterly wronged. He had only provoked Cyrus because Diana had asked him to. Now he was soaked in urine and shivering due to the cold, and his body was bruised and bleeding. Yet Diana still treated him like this.But a bootlicker was still a bootlicker. The more he thought about it, the more he convinced himself Diana was right. 'I failed her. I didn't even handle the matter properly. And like this—filthy and stinking—how can I desecrate Diana's sofa?'The more he dwelled on it, the more he believed her scolding was deserved. He quickly jumped up and lowered his head in apology. "I'm sorry, Diana. It's all my fault. Please don't be mad at me!"Diana and Natalie, both anxious to change their clothes, waved him off impatiently."Hurry up and

    Diana and Natalie screamed in unison."Ah! What is this?""Wait! It's hot water! It's steaming!"For a fleeting second, the sudden warmth brought relief. Then, the acrid stench hit, twisting their faces in revulsion."This… This is piss!""Ah!"Drenched from head to toe, they shrieked like slaughtered pigs and collapsed to the floor while gagging and retching violently.Percy's eyes burned red with rage. He pounded on the door. "Cyrus, you asshole! I'll fucking kill you!"The heavy alloy door didn't budge. Instead, Percy's fists throbbed with pain.Inside, Cyrus' laughter echoed without restraint. "How's the taste of my piss? Nice and refreshing? You brain-dead idiots actually thought you could con me? Pathetic!"Only then did Percy and the others realize they had been exposed from the start. Shock and fury twisted their faces as they hurled curses at the door."Fuck, I shouldn't have wasted time talking!" Percy snarled. "Just wait. I'll break in and gut you alive!"He drop

    Seeing no response, Percy pounded on the door even harder. "Cyrus! Cyrus! It's me, Percy! Open up! I have something very important to tell you!"Inside, Cyrus sneered. He reached for his gun and clicked off the safety. Strolling to the door, he called lazily, "Who is it?"Percy heard his voice and gestured downward, signaling Diana and Natalie to get ready. Both women were tense—their first attempt at murder—but the thought of killing Cyrus and moving into his warm, well-stocked apartment steeled their resolve. Their eyes sharpened with fierce determination.Percy spoke in a pitiful tone. "Cyrus, it's me, Percy. My family's food is gone. For the sake of us being colleagues, could you spare some?"He wore a pleading expression, but his hand hovered near his coat, ready to draw the knife.Cyrus leaned casually against the door. "I don't have any food left either. Can't help you with that."Behind the door, Diana and Natalie silently cursed. No food? What about the seven or eight bo
