All Chapters of The Apocalypse Hoarder: Chapter 421 - Chapter 430

Brittany's body lifted like a doll. She went rigid as blood seeped from her head. Before she could scream, something yanked her straight out through the window.The black monster drew her close. A red tongue flicked out and dragged across her face once.Her scream never came.Panic tore through the gym. Everyone bolted for the back of the building.No one spared Barbara a glance anymore. Only Keira stayed with her, shoving the wheelchair and struggling to keep pace.They slammed into the rear doors. They did not budge."Damn it, it's frozen!""Open it! If we don't get out, we're all dead!"Students screamed and pounded at the door, faces drained of color.Then the monster crawled into the gym.It stood more than 30 feet tall. Blood smeared its black body, and its fur jutted out like hardened spikes. The creature filled the doorway from edge to edge, cutting off every path of escape.It cradled Brittany in its claws, licked her with an unsettling grin, and then bit down in on

The three young men blocked by the monster glared at Leopold and Jacob as its blazing eyes burned into them.Leopold and Jacob knew they were finished. Blood spilled from their mouths as hysterical laughter tore free."Bastards!""No one gets out. If we die, we die together!"The monster had gained seven new toys. Pleasure showed in its posture. Its black tail rose high while its claws scraped back and forth across the floor.Its attention stayed fixed on the chaos. Christopher and two others seized the moment and sprinted straight out of the gym.Relief washed over them once they cleared the doors.Christopher wore a smug smile. "Sorry. Better you die than all of us."The others praised him as they ran. "Chris, that was smart. Let them distract it, then we slip out."Christopher kept moving and explained, "I thought it was a mutated cat from the start. Cats like to play. They toy with their prey before killing it. And unless they're starving, they don't care much about dead r

The young woman’s words sent a chill through the group. She was right. The monster never slaughtered them all at once.Each time it appeared, it selected a few and left the rest alive, like livestock. When hunger struck, it killed a couple and let the others keep breathing."We're done," the young woman said as she broke down. "There's no hope left. There won't be any rescue. This world is finished."Christopher clenched his teeth. "There will be. There has to be. We're elites. The best of society. People like us don't just die here."He looked up at the ceiling, sealed beneath layers of snow. "If I can get out and contact the outside world, my dad will bring people. He'll save me."Getting out onto the ice was the real problem.Ilyana was powerful.As a special-hire lecturer at Greenvich Academy, she had once been a national-level martial artist. She had also served as a close-protection bodyguard for a senior politician's wife.After awakening her powers, she had grown strong

The sudden appearance of the massive creature jolted Cyrus.He steadied himself almost at once. After everything he had endured, his nerves were iron. The shock came not from its size, but from its lack of hostility.Cyrus weighed his options when Thorgan and Kenneth hauled themselves out of the snow. They searched for a rope so they could climb back down.As soon as they surfaced, the monster's gaze shifted."Ah!" Thorgan spotted it, screamed on instinct, and thrust his right hand forward as his ability triggered.Snow and ice tore free from the ground and surged ahead in a roaring wave."Don't!" Cyrus shouted, but he was already too late.The snowfield belonged to Thorgan. A single thought was enough to unleash his power. The blizzard swelled, packed ice mixed within it, and the mass smashed toward the black creature.It released a piercing shriek and burst into motion."So fast!" Cyrus's pupils shrank.The monster was enormous, yet it skimmed across the soft snow like ligh

Thorgan's doubts were not unreasonable. Forget ordinary people; even he had nearly been killed outright without preparation. The creature's sheer size meant it required enormous amounts of food, dozens of times more than a human. If it truly lived here, the students should have been wiped out long ago.But Cyrus disagreed."There's something you two missed." He looked at Thorgan. "At first, it did not want to hurt us. If you had not attacked it and forced its hand, this might have ended differently."Thorgan stared at him. "Huh? I set it off? I was terrified, you know."Cyrus remembered the creature's eyes. Awareness had been there, not mindless hunger. "Mutation can raise intelligence, sometimes to near human levels. And that phone call was real. I heard Barbara's voice. That was not an act."He walked to the edge of the tunnel and peered down. The passage was enormous, wide enough for vehicles to pass through. Openings along the sides carried airflow from above, which likely exp
