Chapter 519

作者: Hugh White
A massive mountain range stretched on without end.

Deep in the mountains, halfway up a fractured slope, a huge structure clung to the rock face.

In front of the building, tall security fencing boxed off a narrow platform. Beyond it was a sheer drop that disappeared into nothing.

Above them loomed snow-covered peaks that never thawed.

A small line of people pushed garbage carts out through the base gates, their figures as tiny as ants against the mountains.

The moment they stepped outside, t

    In a restroom on Level Five, Ark Three."Gus, we've already cleaned this place a few times today. Why are we back again?" Davy Gilbert asked."You think you get to question orders from upstairs?" Gus Ramsey snapped. "Move it! Screw this up, and we're both done.""Okay."Davy grabbed his toolbox and followed Gus inside.The moment he stepped in, something felt off. There was a faint metallic smell in the air."Gus… Do you smell that?""It's a bathroom. What do you expect it to smell like?" Gus said, turning on the mop sink.Water roared through the pipes, echoing across the tiled room. They split up, each taking a row of stalls.Davy pulled open one door after another, cleaning as he went."Hey, did you hear about what happened up in the base today?" Davy asked."Don't talk about things you're not allowed to talk about. Shut up and work," Gus snapped. Davy rolled his eyes. "Okay."He opened the next stall and froze. His face twisted in disgust.What kind of animals were t

    Hayley came out of the trash pit and immediately spotted Nathaniel waiting in the bright, spotless main hall.A group of people surrounded him.They were all low-level supervisors from Level One. Each of them stood there respectfully, speaking to him in careful, flattering tones.Standing among them, Nathaniel looked almost untouchable, like someone far above their world.When he saw Hayley return, he waved the others away."You done with the restroom?""Yeah," Hayley replied. "The bathrooms down here are rough. Let's use the ones on Level Two."Nathaniel paused. "Sure."He led her upstairs to Level Two.Hayley actually wanted to recruit people here as well, but the vibe was different.Life on Level Two was noticeably better. People were cleaner, better fed, and more comfortable.She walked around for a bit but didn't spot anyone worth approaching, so she kept moving upward.Level Three wasn't worth touching, either. People there were already beneficiaries of the system. Th

    "You just need to grow your own strength," Hayley said."Got it!"After recruiting her first contacts, Hayley straightened up, clearly satisfied.She glanced at what they were eating, then pulled out wrapped sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, and cups of instant noodles from her inventory."Don't eat that stuff anymore. Eat this."The boy's eyes lit up again the moment he saw it. So much good food, and all for them!"Do you have anywhere to store supplies?" Hayley asked.Max and Ryan exchanged a look."Security's tight," Ryan said. "Almost nothing can be taken out. We can only stash things at the trash pit."Hayley thought for a moment, then pulled out a large bundle of seasoning packets."Keep these. Use them to bring people over to your side."Before the apocalypse, seasoning packets were junk food trash. After the apocalypse, they were treasure. They were high-fat, high-salt, filling, and energizing.These people had been licking grease off the floor earlier. That alone said

    "I'm fine," the man said, forcing the words out through his cough."That's not true!" The boy shot to his feet. "I'm going to find him!""Find who?" The man grabbed him tight. "Have you forgotten this base doesn't allow sick people to exist?"The boy froze. His fists clenched. He stared at his father's worsening face, and tears finally spilled, unstoppable."But Dad," he cried, "I can't just let you suffer!""Hey. You want to save your dad?"At that moment, a clear female voice cut in.The boy looked up and, through his tears, saw a stunning young woman standing in front of them. She wore expensive-looking combat gear, clean, sharp, and confident.Not someone you ever saw down here."Who are you?" he asked. "I've got medicine that can save him," Hayley said, arms crossed, "but it's not free.""If you can save my dad, I'll do anything," the boy blurted out. "I'll work myself to death for you!"That was exactly what Hayley wanted to hear.She looked at the boy as he wiped h

    The man held his clothes in his hands, standing there in nothing but his underwear so everyone could see.The manager looked him up and down. "Don't let it happen again. Next time you find anything, you turn it in to me. Otherwise, you won't get off this easy. Got it, kid?"He shoved the struggling boy aside, scooped the food off the floor, and took it for himself."Dad! Dad…" The boy rushed to his father's side."I'm fine." The man pulled his clothes back on and forced a reassuring smile onto his pale face.Tears welled up in the boy's eyes. "Dad, it's my fault. I was careless. That's how they noticed.""It's not your fault," the man said softly. "That manager's nose is just too sharp.""But… But…" The boy stared at the spot where the food had fallen. People had already swarmed it. Some licked the floor. Others used their bread to wipe up the grease, scraping every last bit."Our food's gone," he murmured. A quiet voice whispered in his ear. "I still have some."The boy l

    Level One of Ark Three was where the regular people lived.It was split into two main zones: housing and production.Around 15 thousand people were packed into the residential area. It held the most people and the least space.They also carried the heaviest workload.Hydroponic farming, small-scale livestock, textile work, equipment repairs, waste hauling. All the most basic, most exhausting jobs landed here.Level Two handled secondary processing and energy supply. Lighter work, better conditions.Above that came research, including tech and virus labs.The top two levels did nothing at all.Level Four existed purely to entertain Level Five with music, dancers, and shows."This is the bottom of the base," Nathaniel said as the elevator doors slid open. "Nothing worth seeing."It was dinner time.People streamed toward the cafeteria to collect their meals.Tonight counted as a good meal. One bread roll per person, plus a bowl of vegetable soup.Everyone looked happy, cradl
