"The hardware's nothing special either," Barbara said. "Breaking in was easy. Their data is encrypted, though. Cracking it cleanly will take time."She paused, fingers moving across the keyboard, lines of code reflecting in her glasses. "But based on what I've pulled so far, a sizable organization really is operating in West Ridge."She looked up. Her pale blue eyes were steady and unreadable. "We'll probably run into them sooner rather than later."Cyrus folded his arms across his chest. "What's coming can't be dodged. I don't go looking for trouble, but I don't fear it either. Anyone who tries to ruin my peace is seeking death."He was no longer the man he had once been. An impregnable fortress stood at his back, and a loyal crew stood with him, three of them Awakened, himself included. Even against a well-armed organization, he had absolute confidence in his ability to crush them."Babs, keep tracing their signal. Break the encryption. I want everything we can learn about them,
The Apocalypse Hoarder Chapter 471
On Buttercup's first day inside the bunker, it created absolute chaos.The bunker sprawled across multiple levels, vast and meticulously designed. To Buttercup, every shadowed corridor and polished surface demanded inspection. It darted from room to room, nose twitching, tail high, claiming the space as its own.Cyrus displayed almost absurd patience. Paw prints streaked across freshly cleaned floors. Cushions toppled. A delicate antique vase crashed to the ground and shattered into glittering fragments. He did not so much as flinch.With cats, especially strays, trust came first. If you failed at the beginning, you would rarely recover.After half a day of relentless exploration, Buttercup finally got tired. It padded toward the fireplace, circled once on the warm stone, then stretched out in a languid sprawl, limbs extended and eyes half-lidded.Cyrus released a slow breath. The gesture meant acceptance. The bunker had passed inspection.He moved with deliberate care and approa

Animals were often more reliable than people. Earn their trust, and they became the most dependable muscle anyone could ask for.Maybe it helped that, last time, Cyrus had ordered Thorgan to step in and break up the fight between Buttercup and Ilyana. The cat must have sensed that goodwill as its attitude toward him had warmed ever since.That afternoon, Cyrus crouched by the doorway with a large food bowl set in front of him. He had piled it high with cat treats and premium kibble, and he had laid two fresh fish across the top.A short distance away, Buttercup had returned to its normal size. It tore into the food without pause. No cat could resist treat sticks. They were legendary bait, especially for strays.Cyrus smiled. "Buttercup, I've been feeding you for a week now. You've eaten a lot of my food. That makes you my cat. Come home with me, yeah?""Mrrrow…" Buttercup glanced up, narrowed its eyes, then lowered its head and continued eating."If you come back with me, you can

At the mention of Ilyana's name, heads turned across the hall.Christopher leaned close and whispered urgently, "Don't forget us, Ms. Brandt."Ilyana eased her pedaling, swung one leg over the frame, and stepped off the bike."I'm Ilyana Brandt," she said calmly.Rosalind met her gaze, then smiled and crossed the floor.Every eye in the workshop tracked her approach. No one understood why someone of her rank would come in person to Ark Sector Four.Rosalind extended her hand. "Hello, Ms. Brandt. I'm Rosalind Grace, the leader's secretary. Our leader would like to meet you."A wave of noise rolled through the room. The leader wanted to see a newcomer? That could only mean promotion—a direct ascent.The students broke into excited whispers."Ms. Brandt…""Ms. Brandt…"Rosalind cast a single glance around the hall, and silence fell at once."Please," she said, gesturing toward the exit. "Come with me."Ilyana had been curious about Magnus. Any opportunity to leave the generat

The outcome was always the same. No matter how often you warned yourself that it was indoctrination, that it was psychological conditioning, your mind and body would still adapt to the environment.Once they adapted, leaving grew far more difficult. That was why so many highly educated people, university students, and respected professionals had fallen into scams they once believed were beneath them.'Using this to manage the lower tiers, huh?' Ilyana thought.She drew a slow breath as she understood the mechanism. She could not stop it. The herd effect spared no one.She led the students forward. At the woman's instruction, they introduced themselves one by one."Next is our daily morning assembly," the woman announced. "Who's hosting today?"A middle-aged woman raised her hand. "I am.""Good. Then let's begin."The supervisor did not leave. She stepped into the front row and stood among the others.The host walked up with easy confidence. A satisfied smile spread across her

Christopher's words rippled through the room. The students turned to Ilyana with pleading eyes. One by one, they edged closer, as if clutching her sleeve could purchase protection."Ms. Brandt, you have to stand up for us!""You're our teacher. Protecting students is your responsibility!""We can't do hard labor. Can you speak to the base and get us assigned to something easier?"After a full day of rest, Ilyana had regained most of her strength. Her combat ability was formidable. If she chose to act, she could kill armed soldiers with ruthless efficiency.She did not act on impulse. After hearing Christopher out, she did not see West Ridge Base as uniquely cruel. The system reflected rigid stratification, a structure humanity had practiced since the dawn of civilization.Nor did she agree with the students' outright refusal to work."I'll make sure you're safe," she said, her voice calm and steady. "As for the labor assignments, I need time to observe how things operate."Diss
