Chapter 126

작가: Ada Plus
Cola pawed at Nicole, trying to comfort her in his own way.

"I'm okay. And you will be, too."

She stayed in bed until a little after 11 a.m. before finally dragging herself up and stepping into her storage space to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Outside, she had to bundle up in layers just to stand it. Inside, the warmth made her sweat.

She didn't stay long. Going back and forth between hot and cold like that was a good way to get sick.

With the space heater running, her room felt like

    Nicole kept going. "If her connections are that good, she can stay home and play rich girl. She clearly has no idea how to deal with customers, so why is she even working here?"Nicole came at them so hard that even Lillian started to look embarrassed. She apologized again and again, but nothing seemed to calm her down, and for once, Lillian didn't know what else to say.Camila shook with anger. "Nicole, don't push me.""This is me pushing you?" Nicole shot back. "Nothing I've said is worse than what you said a minute ago. If you think you're too good for this job, then quit. The base didn't hire you to insult customers."Lillian had dealt with plenty of difficult customers before, and from the way these two were talking, it was obvious they had history. Camila had definitely picked the wrong person to offend.If Nicole filed a formal complaint, Lillian's own review and pay could take a hit.Realizing Nicole wasn't going to let it go, Lillian stopped trying to protect Camila.

    The woman's voice was sharp, and the contempt on her face was impossible to miss.Apparently, some things never changed. Even on a military base, there were still salespeople who looked down on anyone they thought couldn't afford what they were selling.Nicole couldn't help wondering how someone with that attitude even got hired.Then again, maybe she grew up around the military and got used to thinking she was better than everyone else.All four of them turned to look at the clerk.Nicole stared at her for a second. The woman looked strangely familiar.Then, it clicked. Wasn't she the rich girl who used to keep an alpaca?If Nicole remembered right, they were technically related, too. They even shared the same worthless mother.Nicole deliberately hadn't changed clothes in days so she would look like a scavenger who'd spent a long stretch outside. Her face was greasy and grimy, and her hair was a tangled mess.Zeph didn't look much better. He looked rough and weather-beaten,

    Rare-metal prices had skyrocketed. If Nicole and Zeph traded everything for supplies, they would have enough to live comfortably for several lifetimes.Naturally, plenty of people immediately started sucking up to Zeph. "Hey, man, where'd you find all that? Take us with you next time. We'll do all the heavy lifting."Others tried their luck with Nicole. "Hey, beautiful, need a boyfriend? Older, younger, muscular, pretty boy, whatever you're into. Hell, I'll even volunteer. Just say the word."Zeph's expression darkened. "Get lost."Nicole stared at them. "Get lost."Poppy nearly jumped up in outrage. "She's with Zeph!"Cola bared his teeth and barked. "Woof!"A few people still tried to keep talking, so Zeph silently pulled out his gun and chambered a round.That finally did it. Once the crowd realized none of them were interested, they drifted away in disappointment.Why did someone else always get the big break?One of the staff members chuckled. "Don't worry about it.

    When Nicole and Zeph pulled back the tarps, rows of sealed drums came into view, all caked in mud and rust. Some were badly dented, others bulged outward, and most looked like they had been through hell.The staff member stared at them. What was in these things?He hosed the mud off one drum and carefully scraped away some of the rust. A label slowly came into view.Titanium.He cleaned off several more.Tungsten. Beryllium.His eyes widened. They were all rare metals!The base had sent team after team out looking for materials like these, but no new source had turned up in a long time. Several factories were already close to shutting down.The staff member's jaw nearly dropped. "A-Are both trucks full of this stuff?""Yeah." Nicole wiped the grime from her face, looking tense. "Can you actually use it? We went through hell to get this stuff and traded almost everything we had for it. If it's no good, we're screwed."The drums were so old and beat-up that the staff member c

    Nicole and Zeph would each handle one side of the road. Poppy and Cola would take a back route and circle around ahead of the ambush, then Poppy would drive the truck they had hidden earlier toward them at the agreed time.Everyone knew their role. Nicole quietly doubled back, slipped in behind the ambushers, and found a well-covered position.Right on schedule, Poppy appeared at the far end of the road and slowly drove the truck toward them.The people hiding on both sides immediately perked up. "Dean, that's the truck. They're back."The truck crawled along, and the bed looked loaded. They had obviously come back with another big haul.If the Cyclone Crew pulled this off, the cargo would be worth a lot of points, enough to keep them supplied for months.Life had only gotten harder. None of them had eaten a decent meal in months, and most of the crew barely had any strength left. Just thinking about getting their hands on that haul made them eager to move.It was time. They w

    Nicole drove the truck while Zeph took the SUV. As soon as they left the base, they realized someone was following them.Neither of them panicked. They checked in over the radio, then split off in opposite directions.Kai hesitated for a second before shouting, "Split up! Don't lose either of them!"The truck and SUV looked filthy and worn on the outside, but both ran perfectly.Nicole pulled on body armor and a combat helmet, then stepped on the gas. She led the men chasing her around for a while before leaving them far behind.Once she reached a secluded ravine, she moved both herself and the truck into the storage space.The Cyclone Crew pushed their beat-up vehicle as hard as they could, only to reach the ravine and find nothing.The truck was gone.Before they could make sense of it, a gunshot cracked through the air, and everyone dove for cover.A moment later, they realized the shot had blown out one of their tires. For a second, they thought someone was shooting at the

    Nicole didn't hesitate. She blocked Edward right away.Less than a minute later, her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number.She didn't need to guess; this was Edward's classmate or one of his friends.Given a second chance at life, Nicole had zero interest in being taken for a fool. She w

    Nicole never expected the new resident of 1801 to be the same young man who had helped her at the courier station.He looked mildly surprised, too. He nodded once at her, then went back to work.Up close, he was striking in a cold, sharp way. He was tall and lean, with broad shoulders and clean li

    Two miles was nothing. The Hummer reached the entrance to the complex in just a few minutes.Nicole handed the man 400 dollars, thanking him for saving her and for ignoring traffic rules.His voice stayed cool. "No need. I was heading this way, anyway."Seeing he wouldn't take it, she didn't push

    Just after midnight, the timer refreshed. One hundred thirty minutes remaining.That meant time could stack.Nicole nearly laughed out loud. Seconds mattered. During crucial moments, even a minute could mean the difference between living and dying.She decided that unless it was absolutely necess
