Apocalypse God Mode: Unlocked (Cecilia) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Testing You

Once Hendrick said they were leaving, Timothy did not hesitate for even a second.

It was as if Hendrick was the actual leader of this team.

At that thought, Jayson frowned slightly and looked at Timothy. Then he asked, “Timothy, could you at least tell us where you’re headed?”

“Briar City.”

Timothy answered without hesitation. Then, he turned to Hendrick and said, “Let’s go.”

“Mm.”

Hendrick responded and turned the vehicle around to leave.

Jayson remained standing there, his brows drawn together. “Briar City…”

Randy looked anxious. “Jayson, we should hurry and follow them!”

“No rush.”

Jayson glanced at the others and said, “Now that we know where they’re going, we can catch up later. We’ll leave at sunrise. For now, let’s gather more supplies.”

Randy sighed when he heard that.

Cillian patted his shoulder. “Relax. We’ll catch up. There’s only one road to Briar City anyway.”

Randy watched the vehicles disappear in the distance. He nodded and said nothing more.

Inside the vehicle, Timothy looked at Hendrick with confusion.

“You’re changing course to Sanctum City?”

“Yes.”

Hendrick answered in a low voice, “I already talked to Cecelia. She’s heading to Sanctum City.”

“What’s the reason?”

“To level up. Too many people are taking the road to Briar City; it’s best if we avoid it for now.”

Timothy fell silent.

He understood what Hendrick meant.

:

Briar City was the capital of the country. With the apocalypse not even two months in, survivors would definitely be fleeing toward Briar City.

And there was only one road leading to Briar City.

Which meant they would almost certainly run into other survivor groups along the way.

And with that, they would also see the darker sides of human nature.

Cecelia had chosen Sanctum City to avoid running into too many survivors. The reason was obvious. She did not want Ivy’s soft–hearted nature to become a problem.

But…

Timothy looked at Hendrick. “Sanctum City had a huge population. There will still be survivors there. The situation won’t be much different when the time comes.”

“That’s why I think Cecelia has another reason for going to Sanctum City. She didn’t try to hide it and told us directly, which means she wasn’t trying to keep it secret. And based on the things she said earlier, Sanctum City might actually be more beneficial for ability users like us.”

Hendrick did not believe Cecelia was the type to make reckless decisions over small advantages.

She was far more rational and decisive than he had first assumed.

With a personality like that, she would only take the risk if the benefits clearly outweighed the downsides.

“And besides…”

Hendrick curved his lips slightly and said quietly, “She still owes us a level 4 mutated beast crystal. You’re not planning to just let that go, are you?”

Timothy paused and looked at him. “That’s just an excuse. Hendrick, you don’t want our team. getting too far away from Cecelia’s group, do you?”

Hendrick looked at him speechlessly. “What exactly are you thinking?”

Timothy said bluntly, “I think you might have feelings for Cecelia.”

Screech!

The vehicle came to an abrupt stop.

Hendrick looked at him with a dark expression. “Did a zombie eat your brain? Do you think this

is a good time to think about this?”

Timothy looked at him calmly. “That’s the question I should ask you. Haven’t you noticed the way you watch Cecelia has started to change?”

Hendrick was speechless.

The more he listened, the more he wanted to smack Timothy on the head. He let out a cold laugh. “I have no such thoughts. Stop putting labels on me! If you don’t agree with the plan, fine. We’ll go to Briar City.”

“No. We’re going to Sanctum City.”

“What?”

Hendrick stared at Timothy in confusion. “What’s wrong with you? Did you take the wrong meds today?”

Timothy replied calmly, “Both you and Cecelia are right. Right now, going to Sanctum City is a better option than going to Briar City. You were just ambushed by that lightning ability user earlier, which proves our current strength isn’t enough to deal with the other survivor groups heading toward Briar City.”

Then why bring up that nonsense about me liking Cecelia?”

“I was testing you. I didn’t expect your reaction to be even stronger than I thought. So Hendrick, you clearly care about Cecelia quite a bit.”

ndrick was stunned speechless once again.

The veins on the back of Hendrick’s hand bulged as he gripped the steering wheel. He laughed in frustration. “Cecelia knows far more about the apocalypse than we do, and she’s obviously hiding plenty of secrets. Paying extra attention to her is perfectly normal. And somehow, you twisted that into romance?”

“Are you sure you don’t any feelings for her?”

“I don’t!”

“What if you do?”

“I’ll give you the next level 4 crystal we get!”
