Chapter 155

Auteur: Ada Plus
Nicole tugged down his shoulder strap, poured the medicated wine onto the injury, and started massaging it with steady pressure.

Neither of them spoke. The silence hung awkwardly in the air.

Nicole cleared her throat. "Thanks for stepping in back there."

Zeph shook his head. "You could've dodged it. I misjudged."

Well… She probably could've dodged it, but it wasn't like he was overstepping. Besides, maybe she could dodge this time, but what about the next?

She understood what it meant. It w

    For all his temper, Cola kept it under control and didn't react, letting the man finish peeing.When the tattooed lookout was done, he gave himself a satisfied shake and walked off.Cola stayed low and waited until the lookout's attention shifted, then slipped under the truck and crawled forward. He placed the charge against the inner side of the fuel tank exactly as he had been ordered.Perfect.He didn't pull back right away. He checked it over several times until he was sure, then turned to leave.Even with the job done, Cola stayed cautious, slipping into the grass and finding a shallow dirt hollow farther away to hide.Watching through his scope, Zeph followed every move and couldn't help thinking Cola was the best dog in the world.After a tense exchange, Drakehold Base finally gave way. The door of one SUV opened as a tall man stepped out.From her angle, Nicole could only make out the helmet and body armor, not enough to confirm if he was the leader of Drakehold Base.

    With Poppy still at Ironvale Base, Nicole had no real choice but to agree.Zeph secured the two packs, then rubbed Cola's head. "Don't push your luck. If you're spotted, pull out right away."Cola held their gaze, steady and unflinching.Nicole's eyes burned as she stroked his head, unwilling to let go. "Listen to me. No matter what happens, you come first."She didn't want Cola to be stupid and get himself killed, like he did in her past life. It wasn't worth it.Right then, vehicles from Drakehold Base rolled in and stopped one by one about 50 yards away. Armed thugs jumped down from the trucks first, spreading out beside them with a hard, aggressive presence.Both sides cared about saving face, so neither rushed to get out first.The Drakehold vehicles were parked at an angle. It looked messy at a glance, but anyone experienced could read the setup.The two trucks formed a V, boxing the SUV in the middle. Parked like that, they could use the vehicles as cover if things went

    Nicole finally relented. "There is. Tell me your plan. Once this is over, I'll let you walk."The man hesitated. "You're with Ironvale Base?"That didn't make sense. If Ironvale had people like this, they wouldn't be losing ground."Maybe. Maybe not." Nicole racked the slide. "You wanna live or not?"Of course he did. He had no intention of dying here. If Drakehold didn't work out, he could always move to another base. No reason to throw his life away.So he told them everything. Personnel, layout, the full plan. He held nothing back, just hoping they would keep their word.Nicole did. She decided to keep him alive until tomorrow.To be safe, Zeph found a hidden cave and stashed him there, stripping his clothes off in the process.The man trembled. "Hey, come on. At least leave me my underwear."Underwear? Not a chance.They took everything, tied him up, and shoved two tablets into his mouth, enough to keep him out cold for the next 24 hours.He struggled, but one look at Co

    Poppy didn't want Zeph and Nicole to go, but in the end, she nodded."I'll take care of myself."Nicole packed their things while Zeph handed Poppy a suppressed handgun, signaling for her to hide it somewhere safe.She hid it well enough that no one would ever find it.They stayed with her for a while. Around midnight, the two of them and Cola got ready to leave.Cola lingered, rubbing against Poppy again and again before finally stepping back. They left her with enough food. Zeph reminded her to lock the door before turning to go.Nicole found Anthony. "You know what Zeph and I are like. We're all on the same side now. Leaving Poppy here should be more than enough to show we're serious. If we come back and anything's happened to her, you know exactly what that means."Anthony raised a hand. "Relax. I'll treat her like my own kid. If anyone touches her, I'll take their head off myself."Zeph started the engine, but before pulling away, he glanced up at the window. The room wa

    The plan was set, and Zeph went back to rest.The next day, Felix sent word to Drakehold Base to arrange a meeting, while Nicole asked him for explosives and gasoline."What do you need those for?" Felix asked.Nicole didn't bother sugarcoating it. "If Cola doesn't train first, what happens if he gets tired halfway or drops it in the wrong place?"Felix smacked his forehead. "Right, my mistake." He gave the order right away, then added, "But that stuff's dangerous. If he runs around the base with a live charge and someone panics and fires, we've got a problem. How about this? Train with dirt first. Use the real thing when it counts."Nicole nodded. "Fine, but don't forget the sniper rifle. We're not providing manpower and weapons. We can't get one ourselves anyway.""No problem. I'll take care of it."What a slippery guy. He wasn't letting anything slip.That evening, Felix stood on the villa balcony with binoculars, watching Cola run drills with a heavy dummy charge, sprinti

    Felix nodded, seeing the logic. If both sides fought to the end, there would be nothing left for him to control. A title meant nothing without people behind it.Nicole added, "Cut off the head, and the rest fall apart."Felix shook his head. "I've thought about it. Their boss is careful. He doesn't show himself."Nicole gave a faint smile. "What if you invited him to talk?"Felix paused.She went on, "You've been going back and forth for days. Neither side gained anything. Keep it up, and you both lose. If you can get him to show up, everything else gets easier."Felix still hesitated. "Just get him to show up?""Don't forget what Zeph used to do," Nicole said, her tone steady. "He's dealt with dangerous people his whole career. Ambush is what he's best at. With the right rifle, 3,000 yards isn't an issue. Take out their leader, and the rest won't hold."That was exactly why Felix had been treating Zeph so well.Still, he frowned. "Even if the shot lands, what about the scene?

    Nicole picked up the binoculars and spotted a group of people carrying hoes and sticks, more than 20 of them, heading straight for Oakhaven Gardens. They looked like locals from nearby.They gathered at the entrance. It quickly turned into a standoff, then a fight.An alarm went off inside Oakhave

    Nicole finally understood. Oakhaven Gardens only took people who had the ability and the mindset to work together and survive.Alex paused, then smiled. "Ms. Floyd, you've got a good eye. Yes, we have a well. One of our residents knew how to dig it, and everyone pitched in. Each household gets ab

    "Zeph Dawson."Alex motioned for Nicole and Zeph to sit and handed each of them a hand fan.As they fanned themselves, Alex started asking questions, such as age, gender, current address, hometown, and family members.Nicole frowned. "We're just trying to rent a place. Is this a background check?

    It wasn't unusual for a new development not to show up on the map yet.Zeph pointed out the general direction based on what he remembered from the rescue, and Nicole got a rough sense of where to go. Southwest seemed about right.That area was part of the city's expansion, a newly developed zone w
