All Chapters of The Apocalypse Hoarder: Chapter 561 - Chapter 570

Florian might not have realized it, but even a standard missile would only flatten the structures above ground.He said nothing. He focused on containing his anger while searching for any remaining method to destroy the bunker. In his mind, he imagined dragging Cyrus out and killing him in the cruelest way possible.Guns? Useless.Artillery? Large-caliber pieces could not be transported here. Small-caliber guns would change nothing."What about tunneling?" Florian asked suddenly. "We dig underneath the bunker. Pack it with explosives. Send them straight to hell."Aiden sighed. "Commander, apocalypse bunkers are typically built underground. The sections below ground are usually stronger than the parts above. They require no windows, no aesthetics. Only structural integrity. If we can't break through from above, breaking through from below will be even harder."Florian's gaze locked onto him. "We're not afraid of difficulty. We're afraid of failure."Aiden lowered his head for a m

Cyrus continued scanning for targets through the scope.This unit was elite. The moment they realized he was sniping, they dropped to the ground.Florian had already warned them about Cyrus' marksmanship. Their only miscalculation came from habit. As soldiers, they did not expect a sniper rifle to retain lethal force beyond a mile.After another careful sweep, Cyrus found no clear shot. A flicker of disappointment crossed his mind, not because he wanted more bodies. The rank and file posed little threat. The real targets were the Awakened leading them.One bullet had been dodged by the short captain. The other had been absorbed by the ice-silver ape."Even with a heavy rifle, the power drops too much at this distance. But I have no interest in fighting them up close."In a one-on-one fight, he feared no one. With the Dimensional Gate, anyone who charged him could be dragged straight into pocket space. If he sealed the gate long enough, even an Awakened would suffocate or lose the

Bianca's eyes widened. "Commander, you're not suggesting your fists, are you?"Florian's punches were infamous throughout West Ridge. No one doubted their power. But breaking through a bunker wall that thick with bare hands would take a lifetime.Florian lowered his voice. "If there is even a chance, we will test it. Guns and explosives have lost their effectiveness. Sometimes, the most primitive method works best."He swept his gaze over the group. "When the demolition team set the charges, why didn't he swallow them along with the explosives?"The question gave them pause."If his ability is that convenient, he could have taken the entire demolition team," someone murmured.Aiden spoke carefully. "But he didn't. He only absorbed the explosives after our men withdrew, which suggests his ability has restrictions when it comes to living people."Florian nodded."When I rushed the wall, I had two objectives. First, to test the wall's durability. Second, to see whether his ability

What could they do with people like that?To survive, everyone used whatever means they had. Some even tried to storm the shelter.Florian and his men were like machines. When Magnus gave the order, they killed every intruder without hesitation.Later, when unrest broke out in Ark Sector Four over resource distribution, they were the ones who crushed it.By now, no one could count the blood on their hands. To them, killing a person felt no different from gutting a fish.,,,Back in Willowford East, villagers surrounded Trenton as anxiety spread through the crowd."Governor, didn't you say they would leave in a couple of days? It's already been several days!""I don't think it's that simple. They lost. The fighting will continue. Who knows when it will end?""And they eat too much! One soldier eats what a family of four does in a day!""If this keeps up, Willowford Town can't afford it!"Trenton frowned. He felt the pressure too, but to maintain order, he could only reassure

When Cyrus returned underground, Zoey rushed over."Cyrus, are you hurt?" She checked him quickly, her hands moving with professional focus."I'm fine," he said with a faint smile. "They're not."Back here with them, his mood eased. Taking them in had been the right choice. After a fight like that, he needed their presence. Physical comfort mattered less. What he needed most was a mental reset.Zoey finished her inspection, confirmed he was unharmed, and finally exhaled. She rested her forehead against his chest.Cyrus patted her back and sank into the couch.Scarlett brought out beer and snacks from the fridge.Cyrus looked at Keira. "Keira, part of the outer wall was damaged. The surface peeled off. Can it be repaired?"Keira tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied, "I understand it's a high-strength alloy. But we would need specific materials. Even if we solve the materials issue, someone will have to go outside to fix it. Right now, that's not happening.""As lo
