Mam
Honestly, she didn’t care. It was all so tedious.
Getting someone else to do the dirty work was the oldest trick in the book. In the apocalypse, it was practically a hobby.
Things were already tense between her and the base leadership. It wasn’t a stretch to think Albert wanted that Xavier City monster to take her out for him.
But since Albert wasn’t admitting to anything and she didn’t have the evidence to nail him, she couldn’t push it.
Fine. If she couldn’t bury him, she’d make him pay. It was time to squeeze them for some serious compensation.
“If I hadn’t leveled up on the fly back at the airport, every single one of us would’ve been wiped out in Xavier City,” Josie said, her voice ice–cold. “I’m sure the Base Commander isn’t planning on letting a hit like that slide, right?”
Albert put on his best guilty‘ face, but inside, he was cursing her luck. A damn shame she’d made it back. He really thought this mission would be the one to finally take her off the board.
Whatever.
There would be plenty of other chances to deal with her later.
“Alright, let’s cut the crap. What do you want?” Albert didn’t waste time with excuses. He went straight for the throat. “I’ll throw in another five percent of the haul as hazard pay. We good?”
Twenty percent,” Josie snapped.
Ten. That’s as high as I go.”
Fifteen!”
Twelve. Take it or leave it.”
‘Deal.”
Josie drummed her fingers on the table, a sharp rhythm in the quiet room. “Since the Commander is being so ‘generous,‘ I’ll give you a freebie.”
In two weeks, the world is going to hit a deep freeze. I don’t know what’s causing it–maybe the planet’s finally just broken–but the old rules? They’re out the window. Nothing makes sense anymore.”
‘It’ll last about six months. Temperatures are going to crater. We’re talking negative one hundred degrees or worse.”
The surface will be a death sentence. Unless you’ve got serious insulation and heating ready to go, you’re done.”
The low–tier Undead will go into hibernation during the freeze. But the high–level ones? The cold won’t touch them. Anything Tier 4 or higher won’t even slow down.”
‘Oh, and one more thing,” Cyrus added. “The Alpha in Fort City is about to hit Rank–5. To pull off that evolution, he’s going to need a massive feast the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands, maybe even a million people.”
“You guys have a massive population, so you’re the biggest target on the map. My place? We’re just small fry. He won’t bother with us for now‘
“Hurry up and rank up. Once this deep freeze ends, Norms won’t even be allowed to step outside. They’ll be nothing but prey–dead the second they leave the door “Josie shot a pointed look at Tate before continuing, “low level Supers need to use this time to level up. Anyone under Tier 3 is in serious trouble”
I’ve got another batch of Power Rain ready If the Base wants it, send someone over ASAP Same rate as before.”
Tm picking through the supplies first Once I settle the credits with you, I’ll hand over the rest,” Joste said.
The Base Commander trusts me, doesn’t he?”

Albert and Tate were still reeling from the news she’d just dropped. When Josie brought up the supply split, they didn’t have a
