Chapter 200


    Ste smirked at Bryce, "I''ll send you straight to hell, where all those people you killed and looted


    are waiting to settle the score."


    "Hold on, I have food and guns, and I can make you the leader of the base. Please, spare me."


    "Why should I spare you?" Ste retorted, "If I kill you, all the base''s supplies will be mine anyway."


    With that, she ignored his pleas and turned to Jasper, "You and Rosie keep an eye on them. Cooper


    and I will go and collect the loot."


    Had it not been for the fear of attracting unnecessary attention, Ste would have set fire to the


    ce already.


    Bryce''s wailing was getting on everyone''s nerves. Jasper gagged him, "Be careful, and make it


    quick."


    Ste, taking Cooper with her, disappeared into the night.


    The first target was Bryce''s extravagant mansion. On the first floor was a wine cer, filled with all


    sorts of wines, cognac, tequ, and XO among others. There were about two to three hundred


    bottles, all of which she took.


    In the living room cabs, there were plenty of tea and cigarettes, all top brands. Regardless of


    whether they were expired or not, she took them all.


    Unexpectedly, Bryce had a massive library filled with hundreds of books on science, humanities,


    technology, industry, emotions, psychology, and many magazines. She took everything, including


    the bookshelves, artworks, sculptures, and three safes.


    The master bedroom was huge, with a walk-in closet that was hundreds of square feet. Ste only


    took the sculptures and left the rest for the lucky ones.


    There was a room next to the master bedroom with a heavy stainless steel door. Ste, being a


    seasoned burr, knew there must be something good inside. Without a word, she took out a


    crowbar.


    As expected, inside was Bryce''s private arsenal, with more than twenty guns of various types and


    thousands of bullets, as well as more than ten sets of bulletproof vests and helmets.


    She wondered how Bryce could be such a coward with all these weapons at his disposal. Perhaps


    his fear of death was inborn.


    On the third floor, well, there were five or six rooms filled with certain types of gears that would


    make any woman blush. Had Bryce been there, Ste would have hung him up with a pig hook.


    Just as she was about to leave, she noticed severalrge boxes on top of the cab where the


    gears were stored.


    The gears were clean, but the boxes were dusty.


    Ste, being curious, opened the boxes one by one. They were all filled with famous brand


    condoms, totaling up to several tens of thousands.


    So had they robbed the condom factory? Unfortunately, they didn''t use them, caring only for their


    own pleasure andpletely disregarding the women''s wellbeing. In their eyes, the women were


    far less valuable than livestock.


    Theirck of appreciation was Ste''s gain. She was overjoyed at the prospect of how many


    supplies she could trade these for. She thanked Bryce wholeheartedly.


    From the mansion, Ste headed straight for the freezer warehouse. She had seen them moving a


    lot of good stuff in there over the past few days.


    Sure enough, there were more than forty sheep and six cows, all recently ughtered. She took


    everything, not forgetting to dismantle the diesel generator.


    There were a few warehouses lined up, next to which was a ce for storing gasoline and diesel.


    When she opened the door, Ste was shocked by the sight of numerous oil drums. Including those


    she had brought back from Alpha Outpost today, there were at least over 200 tons.


    She didn''t expect Bryce to be such a hoarder, despite his cowardice. It was all worth the effort she


    and Jasper had put in.


    After collecting the oil, she took all the twenty or so cars parked by the warehouses. They were


    either off-road vehicles or trucks. Next to it was arge supplies warehouse, filled with the smell of


    dried seafood. The warehouse was huge. Apart from therge amount of dried seafood, there were


    mountains of sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as a lot of rice, flour, grain, and various coarse


    grains. All in all, there were at least fifty to sixty thousand pounds.


    This time, they had enough food tost several lifetimes.


    Just as Ste was about to put everything into Arcadia, Cooper suddenly growled a warning.


    Someone wasing! Why now of all times?


    Just as she was suspicious, an explosion suddenly sounded. Ste ran out of the warehouse to see


    the yground engulfed in a sea of fire.


    What happened? Under normal circumstances, they would only set fire when leaving. Why did


    Jasper suddenly change his mind?


    Something was wrong!


    It would take quite some time to collect everything from therge warehouse. Worried about Jasper


    and Rosie, Ste didn''t hesitate to run towards the yground.


    Halfway there, she ran into Jasper and Rosie. She quickly asked, "What happened?"


    "People areing."


    Who wasing? He didn''t seem to be afraid of anyone.


    "It''s Evan and his men."


    Evan? Ste was taken aback, and it took her a while to remember who he was, "What''s he doing


    here?"


    "There was an explosion on the border of Griffith this morning. It probably caught Evan''s attention,


    and he realized that Alpha Outpost had been wiped out, so he organized a police force toe


    over."


    Jasper asked, "Have you finished collecting the supplies? Evan is very shrewd. He can''t be fooled.


    We can''t run into them. We need to leave immediately."


    "There are tens of thousands of pounds of food in therge warehouse that haven''t been collected.


    There''s probably a lot of stuff in the houses of those in charge too." Ste thought for a moment,


    "We have enough food. Why don''t we leave it for Evan and his people?"


    Last time they dealt with The Chaos, it was Evan who nned and led the operation. The survival


    supplies they found were all returned to the victims as much as possible without any private


    hoarding.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    This batch of supplies was also plundered from the lower-ss survivors. She believed they would


    handle things fairly and return them to the people in the end.


    Moreover, the rice, flour, oil, and grains had been stored for two years in extreme weather


    conditions. If not stored properly, a lot of it would be spoiled and wouldn''t taste good. Even if she put


    it in Arcadia, she wouldn''t eat it, and she couldn''t donate it to survivors. It would be better for Evan


    and his people to deal with it.


    Jasper had no objections, "That works."


    In the distance, lights were approaching quickly, apanied by the sound of rushing footsteps.


    Without any hesitation, the trio and the dog sneaked away from the base through the back door.


    Taking advantage of Rosie''s distraction, Ste threw out two weapon cabs. Inside were dozens


    of weapons, which were almost all taken by tattooed men. These weapons weren''t very useful to


    the two of them, so they decided to give them to Evan.


    The police station should be in need. With these, they could better protect themselves, or give


    empty shells to patrol officers for self-defense and deterrence.


    She had collected a fair share from Bryce, which, whenbined with what they had already


    stashed away, meant they were not short on firepower.


    In the darkness, a group of people, a few hundred yards away, moved quickly towards the sound of


    explosions, while Ste and her crew made a swift retreat.
