Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261

“It’s better than nothing, anyway.”

“What do you think?”

Josie thought it over for a second. “You’re right. If everyone’s dead, why hold back? We’ll just strip the place bare. It’s a dead city anyw

“So, who are we bringing with us this time?” Zane asked.

“Whatever, you handle it!” Josie said. She was the ultimate hands–off boss, never one to bother with the details.

Luckily, Zane was rock solid.

Since the day they met, he’d never once dropped the ball.

Honestly?

If the world hadn’t ended, a guy like Zane would’ve been a total chick magnet.

He was handsome, had the rank and the medals, and was as dependable as they come.

He was 100% boyfriend material.

Too bad the world went to hell.

And too bad Josie wasn’t looking to get tied down.

Zane saw Josie playing the “hands–off boss” card again and just laughed. “Fine, I’ll handle the logistics. We’ll move out once the temper. stabilizes, yeah?”

“Works for me.” Josie stretched, her joints popping, before heading for the door. “I’ll go get Winnie started on some ineal preps for us.” Winnie was on it the second she got the word. She was fired up, rolling up her sleeves and diving into the work like her life depended on All six people in the kitchen team sprang into action–washing, chopping, and getting the rice cookers going.

Even the retirees from the Agri–Science Institute were dragged in to help. Since they didn’t have much else to do, they were happy to pitc They were going to be out for a long time, so they needed plenty of food.

Especially since these guys were out there fighting every day. They burned through energy like crazy and ate like beasts.

Winnie didn’t hold back. Every container was packed to the brim.

What would last a normal person an entire day, these guys finished in one sitting.

She made sure everything looked, smelled, and tasted incredible. It was damn good food.

Quinshaw Base had wiped out those Haven City refugees without making a sound. It didn’t take long for the news to reach the city’s main base.

This time, Albert was on his best behavior. He called Josie himself, letting her know that the supplies and the hazard pay were ready and waiting. He just wanted to know when she was coming to grab them.

Josie didn’t wait. She headed straight over.

Albert didn’t even dare show his face.

He was probably terrified she’d kick his ass.

Besides, the guy had a reputation to keep. Getting folded in public wasn’t exactly a good look.

Seriously, what Base Commander wants to get his ass kicked by Josie in front of everyone? Not exactly a career highlight.

So, Albert stayed hidden and sent his lackeys instead. He made sure the “apology gift” was more than enough. As long as Josie took the payoff. the beef was settled.

Josie had been ready to crack some skulls, but once she saw the compensation? Her anger did a complete 180.

Albert had gone all out this time. He’d dropped a billion tons of grain on her as a peace offering.

Just like that, her grudge evaporated.

A billion tons!

Where the hell did Albert find another secret stash?

And he just handed it over? No questions asked?

Nice. Very nice.

If getting pissed off paid this well, Josie wouldn’t mind being angry every single day.

*Commander Quinn, if that’s all, I’ll take my leave!” Albert’s man said, his face fixed in a kiss–ass smile. “Oh, one more thing–our base 15 planning a run to Haven City once the weather warms up. We’re going to see what loot is left to scavenge. Would you be interested in joining the op?”

“A supply run to Haven City?” Josie asked, her eyebrows shooting up.

“Exactly. We’re mostly looking for construction materials and non–perishables,” the guy said, his tone pure flattery. “It’d be great if you could come along, Commander. We can stick to the usual split.”

“What a coincidence,” Josie said, a sharp smile playing on her lips. “We were actually planning the same thing.”
