Chapter 346.
That would be a real shame…”
The two men continued their conversation as they walked away.
The man who had been reading suddenly jerked his head up. He stared blankly ahead, frozen for a long moment.
“Professor Chase, what are you spacing out for?” someone asked, giving him a nudge.
He snapped back to reality and replied, “Oh, nothing! What were you guys talking about? Someone’s looking for someone?”
Yeah! You bookworm, you’re always reading. You have no idea how crazy things are getting outside!” his colleague answered. “The base supermarket is still open. You should go trade for some supplies while you can. Opportunities like this don’t come twice!”
‘She came to Newport City to find someone. Once she finds him, she’s leaving.”
Word is she’s looking for someone named Sean Voss. People have turned the base upside down, but they stiff can’t find him!”
Professor Chase suddenly grew tense. “Who did you say she was looking for?”
‘Sean Voss! Why? You know him?” his colleague asked excitedly. “If you do, go give her the info now! Even if it’s fake, she’ll pay the finder’s fee!”
I heard a bunch of people are telling her they found him just to scam some food.”
‘She goes to check, realizes she’s been tricked, and she doesn’t even get mad. She just pays the fee exactly as agreed.”
The whole city is going mad. Everyone is searching like crazy!”
How is she so sure the person she’s looking for is still alive?” Chase asked.
Yeah, people asked her that too. She was dead certain. She said Sean Voss is definitely alive,” the colleague replied. “She even said he’s definitely right here in this base.”
We don’t know why she’s so confident. Hey, hey! Professor Chase, where are you going?”
I have something to take care of!” Chase answered vaguely before turning and walking away without looking back.
He didn’t go to see anyone. Instead, he returned to his own living quarters.
He cautiously checked to make sure no one was watching before losing the door.
He shoved his bed aside and spent a long time digging into the dirt floor beneath it until he unearthed a metal box.
He carefully entered the code.
With a ‘click’, the box popped open.
nside was a pile of documents and several USB drives.
Chase let out a heavy sigh, closed the box, and shoved it back into the hole, carefully burying it once more.
He sat there in daze for a long time, silent.
He couldn’t be sure of Josie’s intentions.
Was she a friend or a foe?
With his identity, he was destined to be plagued by doubt. He had to confirm her motives over and over.
After all, before the apocalypse, he had been a target for kidnapping and assassination by countless nations.
He was a high-level classified individual.
He wasn’t sure if losie had truly been sent by his family or if she was an agent of an old-world enemy trying to use this opportunity to steal his research or kidnap him.
After all, he didn’t have a single superpower.
Protecting himself was incredibly difficult.
