The Apocalypse Survival Manual Chapter 360
Anthony hesitated. "Boss, it wasn't easy getting the base to where it is."Felix's expression cooled. "Did you forget how Drakehold Base built itself up?"Their leader had ties to someone important in Grayport. That was how they got their hands on firearms and pulled together a force so quickly, and why they dared go up against Ironvale Base for territory.If they let it continue, their base would eventually be swallowed.If Zeph could be used, there might be an opportunity. And if Felix misjudged him, it wouldn't be too late to get rid of him later.Anthony thought it over. "You want to use Zeph against Drakehold Base?"Felix nodded, leaning back on the couch with a glass of whiskey. "In times like these, it's hard to dig into anyone's background. But if I'm right, Zeph comes from the military or law enforcement, and not low rank either. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone up against the Drakebane Guild. Using him against Drakehold might give us an opening."Anthony still looked

Felix continued, "You just got here, so we'll get you settled first. Tonight, I'll put together a proper welcome. I've had Anthony arrange a place for you, and there's a little gift to mark the occasion."He clapped his hands.More than a dozen women walked in, dressed lightly, each one different. Some were tall and striking, others soft and delicate.There were girls barely into their teens, and women in their thirties who carried themselves with practiced ease. Every type you could think of.Felix spread his arms, smiling. "Go ahead, pick whoever you like. If you find someone you like, take them all. They'll keep you company."That threw Zeph off for a second.Nicole let out a quiet, cold laugh. "Felix, we came here to join you, not for you to play games."Felix blinked. "What do you mean?""You seem to have forgotten he's my man." Nicole didn't soften her tone. "You line up a dozen women in front of him and expect me to be fine with it? Should I just walk out?""Oh." Feli

Nicole's group of four got out of the car and followed Anthony into the villa.There was a security scanner at the entrance. One by one, they stepped through.The moment they walked inside, the heat dropped away, replaced by cool air that felt like a second chance at life.A crystal chandelier hung overhead, polished marble floors stretched out beneath them, and a decorative landscape display sat in the center of the hall. The whole place looked like a high-end hotel lobby.Another man with expensive taste."Sorry to keep you waiting."A man in his forties came down the spiral staircase, dressed in a khaki silk lounge set, gold-rimmed glasses resting on his nose, his manner calm and refined. He didn't look like the head of a base, more like a semi-retired executive with money and time to spare.It was hard to picture him running a group of over 200 hardened men.Looks didn't mean anything. The worst predators knew how to play the part.He wore expensive Hermès slippers, his sm

Someone walked over.It was the same man who had been leading the group in the van that day. He recognized Zeph, something flickering across his face before he smiled. "Well, look who finally showed up. I thought you were tough. Didn't expect you to fold this fast."Zeph didn't react to the jab. His tone stayed even. "We gave it some thought. We'd like to join your welcoming community."The man choked on that, his smile turning stiff. "That's more like it. No need to be stubborn. Wait here. I'll go check with the boss."As he turned, a sneer pulled at his mouth. Under his breath, he muttered, "So much for the 18th floor. Just a bunch of cowards."Unfortunately for him, Nicole heard every word.Good. So he was the one behind last night.A show of force at the door was expected. Zeph waited a full hour before the bald man finally came back. "The boss wants to see you, but we've got rules. No weapons inside. Step out for inspection."The four of them got out, and the Hummer wa

The window rolled down. Zeph shot the last man through the thigh, dropping him to the ground.The Marauder plowed through the walls like they were nothing.Nicole didn't stop until every barricade had been flattened. Only then did she bring the vehicle to a halt.She stepped out and walked over to the injured man, her face cold, her eyes locked on him with killing intent.These animals wanted dog meat stew.They wanted to show Poppy something "fun."They even threw explosives at the 18th floor, nearly blowing her apart. They probably thought it was all a game.They set up roadblocks, charging tolls, treating people's lives like they didn't matter.Nicole wanted to tear the man apart, but she forced it down. She planted her foot on his head, her voice dripping with contempt. "This all you've got? You should be ashamed. Go tell your boss to back off while he still can. If he keeps pushing against Drakehold Base, I'll take his head and use it as a cup. I'm in a good mood today,

After leaving the research institute housing, Nicole and Zeph drove toward Grayport.Word was the sea had started to calm, and people were trickling back. Every so often, they passed a lone figure on the road.As they got close to the Ironvale Base checkpoint, Zeph turned onto a deserted side road.With their disguises on, the two of them looked completely different: rough, swaggering, tattooed.They brought the two little ones along, cut across the hills, bypassed the Ironvale toll point, and headed straight for the Drakehold Base checkpoint more than ten miles away.One of the men collecting fees lifted a baseball bat. "Stop! Are you blind? Five pounds of food per person."Nicole looked just like them, a cigarette hanging from her lips, her voice loose and lazy. "You really think I'm paying you? Take a look at yourself first.""What did you say? Say it again."Nicole raised her gun and fired. One shot, clean headshot.It happened too fast. The men froze for a beat, then grab
