Chapter 180 Central Arrival

Emily took the opportunity to set her teacup back down and said, “Fine. For Oliver’s sake, I’ll let this go today”

Griffin let out a mocking laugh and said impatiently, “Haha! You guys can stay here. I’m leaving first. I’ve got a dinner date with a real knockout, so I won’t be keeping you company”

With that, Griffin shoved his chair back and walked out.

Emily turned to Oliver Carter with an irritated huff. “Look at him. Who does he think he is, acting like that in front of us? Central Shelter is practically becoming our territory, and he still thinks he’s the crown prince.” ”

“Enough. Stop talking. We haven’t officially taken control yet, have we? Let him be arrogant while he still can. How much longer do you think that’ll last?” Oliver poured her a glass of water and said, “Central Shelter keeps taking in more and more people. More people is a good thing. Once we have enough people, why would we worry about living well? The bigger the population, the more workers we’ll have.”

“That is true.” Emily smiled brightly. “My dad had me stay here because he said that if anyone with valuable supplies or real talent showed up, I had to recruit them before Griffin got to them. But I’ve been watching all day, and I haven’t seen anyone talented. It’s just been a bunch of poor nobodies. What a complete waste of my day! Forget it! I’m done waiting here. I’ve got plans with my girlfriends to go to the spa. I’m leaving!”

Emily strutted away in her high heels, her figure swaying gracefully.

Oliver simply smiled, his cold, calculating eyes staring through the window at the scene outside.

No one knew what he was thinking.

And even if they did, they wouldn’t have cared or taken it seriously.

After all, Oliver was an illegitimate son with no inheritance rights.

Outside the city gates, a homeless man carrying several large bags on his back was being shoved around by the guards.

“What kind of trash are you trying to pass off as supplies?!” one of the guards shouted before roughly shoving the homeless man to the ground. “Throw him out! Central Shelter doesn’t take in garbage like this”

Caught completely off guard, the homeless man crashed face-first into the wet ground. His face immediately came into contact with the acid rain, and wisps of white smoke rose with a sizzling sound as the acid burned his skip. He screamed in agony and begged for mercy.

But instead of earning anyone’s sympathy, his desperate rolling and crying only made the onlookers burst into laughter, as though they were watching some kind of comedy

The people waiting in line with him to enter the city simply stood there with blank, emotionless expressions No one had my intention of getting involved

Any women in the line were inevitably groped by the guards

All they could do was endure it in silence

If they dared to resist even once, they would be kicked out of the line and permanently barred from entering the city

Compared to staying alive, what was a little humiliation?

Fortunately, after so long into the apocalypse, most people were filthy and gaunt. Many little more than skin and bones, so the guards had very little interest in them. As long as they handed over enough supplies, they were allowed inside.

Outside the city walls stretched a ring of slums.

Separated from the city by nothing more than a single gate, the two sides might as welt have been completely different worlds

The ramshackle shelters people had built to protect themselves from the acid rain swayed dangerously in the storm, looking ready to collapse at any moment.

Once they collapsed, several people,would likely die.

But in this era, human life was the cheapest thing of all.

Even if someone died right in front of them, no one would spare them a second glance.

‘Another one’s dead. What bad luck,” was all anyone passing by would say.

When Autumn and the others reached the outskirts of Central Shelter by boat, they could go no farther.

One of the people traveling with them explained, “Central Shelter was barely affected by the tsunami. This is as far as the boats can go. We’ll have to continue on foot from here.”

‘I see.” Autumn nodded. “No wonder Central Shelter is so arrogant. They got through with almost no losses.”

‘But that’s fine. They’re about to lose a fortune,” Leonel said. “You’re definitely not going to let them off the hook.”

‘Of course not.” Autumn smiled brightly as she looked toward the distant city gates. “People of Central Shelter, haven’t you been waiting for us to come? Well, I’m here.”

Beckett was the first to put on his protective suit, then directed the five assistants to pack up the visible supplies and carry them an their backs.

‘You all go ahead. We’ll catch up in a bit,” Autumn said to Beckett.

Beckett nodded knowingly.

Autumn’s storage space was only used in front of the three of them. The fewer people who knew about it the sale: it was

After Beckett and the others left, Autumn raised a hand and stored the boat away. Then she adjusted her backpack and burned after Beckett’s group with Leonel

By the time they arrived at the gates of Central Shelter, another hour had passed

It wasn’t because they lacked stamina The road had simply been terrible

The entire area within about 18 miles of the city was one sprawling slum

Makeshift shacks were scattered everywhere and pickpockets lurked around every corner
