Todos los capítulos de The Apocalypse Hoarder: Capítulo 261 - Capítulo 270

The fire in Building 21 burned for more than half an hour. The flames gradually weakened, but the smoke never let up.By any reasonable judgment, no one inside could still be alive. There was no ventilation and no way to keep the toxic smoke from flooding their lungs. The only possible outcome was a slow, agonizing death.Even if someone had miraculously survived that long, remaining inside meant death sooner or later. The smoke would not clear anytime soon.Cyrus turned and headed toward Building 26. "Let's go. Next one."The neighbors from Building 25 had gone blood drunk. This was their first experience with killing in such a clean, overwhelming way. The sensation of holding other people's lives in their hands sent a thrill through bodies that had been suppressed for far too long.They whooped and followed Cyrus toward the Titan Gang's territory.People in Building 26 watched from their windows. When they saw Cyrus approaching, terror hit them like ice water.Someone shouted

Cyrus said, "Zoey, you worked hard. Well done."She smiled and shook her head. "I'm just glad I could help."As they spoke, Chloe suddenly walked over with the baby in her arms. She lifted her face toward Cyrus, her expression pitiful. "Cyrus, we haven't eaten all day. Could you get me and the baby something to eat?"Cyrus looked down at her, amusement flickering in his eyes. If not for Kenneth, he would have thrown this troublesome woman into a snowbank already. She had succeeded in disgusting him, and in his mind, that alone marked her for death.There were still others he needed to deal with tonight. For now, she could keep breathing.Without another word, he flicked his hand. A full case of pasta appeared in front of her."Take these and eat. You're Kenneth's family, after all. I won't let you starve."Chloe stared at the box, stunned. "What… What kind of trick is that?"Cyrus did not bother answering. He did not care whether she understood his ability. Dead people did not

After settling matters at home, Cyrus took his gun and stepped outside. One last loose end remained.The building felt eerily hollow. Most of the neighbors were outside, gathered around their so-called barbecue. Only two apartments still showed signs of life.Cyrus stopped in front of one of them, the unit where Natalie and Diana had lived. He raised his pistol and fired twice into the lock. Then he drove his boot into the door and sent it crashing inward.Holding a riot shield in his left hand and his gun in his right, he entered. The apartment lay in darkness.Cyrus flicked on the headlamp strapped to his forehead. The beam flooded the room with harsh, unforgiving light and laid bare every corner.A scream tore through the silence. A disheveled woman charged at him with a cleaver held overhead.Cyrus did not rush. He raised the riot shield. The blade struck with little force. Instead of injuring him, the rebound sent the woman sprawling backward across the floor.Cyrus turned

After the night passed, Cyrus had Zoey examine Kenneth early the next morning.The results stunned her."His recovery is excellent," she said. "More than ten times faster than a normal person."That confirmed it for Cyrus. Kenneth had truly awakened an ability."Understood," Cyrus said. "Take good care of him. Make sure he makes a full recovery."He patted Zoey on the hip and gave her a meaningful look. She understood at once, nodded, and drew a syringe from the kit. She injected it slowly into Kenneth's arm.When they finished, Chloe walked over with a smile and made a request without hesitation. "Cyrus, I forgot my charger. Could you help me get it? Oh, and the baby's diapers too."She looked relaxed, almost cheerful, as if she intended to stay for the long term. In her mind, Cyrus owed Kenneth his life. Providing food and shelter was only right. And since she was Kenneth's woman, she naturally belonged there as well.Cyrus glanced sideways at Kenneth on the bed. Kenneth rema

Vincent's single sentence yanked Cyrus' memory back more than a decade.In the 2030s, sci-fi films exploded worldwide, with apocalypse stories leading the surge. Many traced the trend back to a 2012 movie that seemed to open the floodgates.For several years, end-of-the-world blockbusters dominated the box office, and the cultural fallout proved real. Some people actually began building bunkers, including top-tier billionaires.At the time, most treated it as a joke. Few genuinely believed the end was coming. One story stood out to Cyrus, though, a tale that originated in Cretora.It lingered on trending lists for months and turned into meme fodder across video platforms. A wealthy heir from Southcreek, Severin Wilhelm, had allegedly spent one billion dollars to construct a bunker that no one could breach from the outside.As Cyrus remembered it, Wyvern Security had built the structure. That detail was one reason Cyrus later sought out Wyvern Security. Afterward, the bunker story
