Chapter 466

Author: Ada Plus
The weather had turned cold. After a quick good night, everyone ducked into their tents to sleep.

Nicole wasn't in a rush, but camping could never compare to home. The sooner they finished, the sooner they could leave.

After two hours of sleep to recover their strength, everyone packed up their tents and went back to searching for herbs.

The higher they climbed, the fewer herbs they found.

Near the summit, they saw the crater lake left behind by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago. Eve

    If they ran into danger, Nicole could pull everyone, rope and all, into her storage space at once.They climbed over rocks, crossed streams, stepped onto soft ground, and watched loose dirt cave in while stones tumbled down the slopes. Two tense hours later, they reached the depths of the valley without any real danger.Compared with five years later, the valley looked withered and desolate, with almost no green in sight.Zeph grew worried. Finding the herb five years later didn't mean they could find it now. It might not have sprouted yet.He searched the area, but found nothing.Nicole scanned the ground as well. "Don't rush. We'll take our time."They used trekking poles to push through dead leaves and weeds, searching for tiny green shoots that would be easy to miss.Two hours later, Nicole spotted a short seedling that looked almost exactly like wyrmleaf.After checking it again and again, she and Zeph were sure. It was wyrmleaf, a seedling that had only recently broken th

    There was no time to run. Some were blown apart, others thrown into the air, bodies scattering like fireworks.The group behind the Hummer saw everything. Shock held them in place for one brief second before they scattered like startled birds.The Hummer rolled forward and stopped smoothly in front of the spike strip.Once they were sure no one nearby was watching, Nicole and Zeph put on bulletproof vests and steel helmets before getting out.The spike strip was well made. It would make a useful trap back home.Nicole couldn't bring herself to leave it behind, so she and Zeph lifted it onto the roof together and tied it down tight.Then, they kept driving.They ran into two more groups along the way, but neither had many people or heavy weapons. Once they saw the Hummer bearing down on them like a war vehicle, they hesitated for a long time and never dared to surround it.Mount Cedar was about 20 miles from Halloway.After leaving the highway, they drove slowly toward the moun

    Nicole eased onto the brake and picked up the binoculars.Well, damn. The spike strip stretched more than ten feet across the road, every inch bristling with sharp steel teeth. Not a spot of rust on it, either. It had clearly seen plenty of use.Bang!Something struck the side window hard, leaving a bullet mark in the glass.So they weren't just ordinary highway robbers.Nicole's temper snapped. She pulled weapons and explosive packs from her storage space. If they insisted on doing this the hard way, they couldn't blame anyone but themselves.Annoyed as she was, she stayed clearheaded and waited in the car.Cola was getting worked up, licking his chops as he watched the people outside.Poppy had gone on alert as well, quietly drawing the gun Zeph had given her.The standoff dragged on for 20 minutes. They stayed in the car, waiting to see who would lose patience first.These people had gone to the trouble of laying a spike strip. If they wanted her out, they could come get h

    Good thing the glass was bulletproof. Otherwise, Nicole would have died right there.Mitchell and the others shouted in panic, but Zeph never took his eyes off the road. His calm was almost unsettling.The Hummer had been modified from top to bottom. The windows were bulletproof, and even the tires had been reinforced against spikes and gunfire.Of course, if Mitchell's team hadn't been in the car, Nicole probably would have told Zeph to stop. She would have sent those robbers straight to hell herself.Gangs were everywhere now. The researchers and the herbs mattered more, so there was no point in picking a fight.When they reached Grayport, the once-thriving megacity had been reduced to rubble. Aside from a few fortress-like high-rises still standing, all that remained were broken walls, collapsed buildings, and sunlight glinting off shattered glass.Grayport had suffered no less than Westbridge. No photo or description could do the devastation justice.Everywhere they looked,

    The weather had turned cold. After a quick good night, everyone ducked into their tents to sleep.Nicole wasn't in a rush, but camping could never compare to home. The sooner they finished, the sooner they could leave.After two hours of sleep to recover their strength, everyone packed up their tents and went back to searching for herbs.The higher they climbed, the fewer herbs they found.Near the summit, they saw the crater lake left behind by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago. Everything around it was withered and barren.Years ago, when the water level was high, this place had hosted an international parade every other year, drawing tourists from around the world.Now, only dead branches and fallen leaves remained. The world no longer looked anything like it had before.They reached the summit. An old building stood there, but it had long since crumbled, leaving broken stone scattered across the ground. In every direction, all they saw was ruined land.Mitchell stoo

    Traveling with Mitchell's group slowed Zeph and Nicole down, but it also made the trip much more productive. Zeph thought it over for a moment before saying, "We still haven't found everything. We'll head back tomorrow."The group continued up the mountain at an easy pace.Halfway up, Mitchell's eyes suddenly lit up. "Zeph, this is it! The white ridgeflower you're looking for!"There was only one seedling, smaller than half a palm. It was still too young to use as medicine and needed at least another six months of careful cultivation.Mitchell dug it out with extreme care and handed it to Zeph, explaining how to raise it as he worked.They rested when they got tired and added or removed layers whenever the weather shifted. By the end, it looked less like hiking and more like they were doing quick changes backstage.At noon, it had been close to 104 degrees. Now, before night had even fallen, the temperature had dropped to nearly freezing.The herbs were too valuable to risk, a

    Seeing the look on Nicole's face, Zeph tried to reassure her. "You don't need to worry. Cola's smart. Dogs are the most loyal partners humans have. I don't think he'll lose himself."Nicole wasn't so sure. The deep freeze would last a full year, and when Cola died saving her last time, it had only

    It was Oliver again. This time, he had a few other men with him.Nicole didn't respond.Oliver kept knocking, muttering to the others beside him."Oliver, it's dead quiet up here. Do you think something happened to them last night?"The man's voice was hoarse; he was clearly sick from the cold.

    Nicole had no complaints about the deal. Cola loved the stuff.So just like that, a little over 100 pounds of fish turned into 20 cans of freeze-dried pet food.Gordon's group was happy with their purchase.They had been living off dog food for so long that they were sick of it. Sixteen hundred p

    Beatrice didn't even blink at Mary's fake-friendly invitation.She shoved Mary hard, sending her stumbling back several feet before slamming into the wall with a dull thud. "Get lost. If I were a guy, you would've been dead already."Mary was out there selling herself, but she was still full of
