Chapter 411.
June, what happened?” Sylvia Ston asked, rushing over immediately. “Why do you look so terrible?
“Mom, Dad, start liquidating our assess right now,” June Quinn said sharply. “Sell everything that’s too heavy or inconvenient to carry.” “Why?” Arthur Quinn asked, confused. “What’s going on?”
“A massive earthquake is coming to Fort City-a destruction-level event,” June replied coldly. The base is preparing to evacuate in secret. Al and his son, Tate, can’t take everyone, so most people are going to be kept in the dark, left here to fend for themselves. Luckily, I’m still usefu base, so Tate told me. He’s planning to take our family with them when they sneak out!”
“But their convoy will be carrying a massive amount of supplies, so we can’t have too much baggage. If we do, we won’t fit on their trucks!” “Houses, tables, chairs, furniture-sell it all. Use the excuse that we’re moving to a different place and want new stuff.”
“Don’t pack too many clothes or blankets either. We’re Supers; our physical constitutions are better than Norms, so we won’t get sick easily. Br much food as possible instead!”
“Focus on things that are easy to carry and won’t spoil.”
“What!” Arthur and Sylvia collapsed onto the sofa in despair, their faces turning deathly pale. They were clearly devastated by this world-shaking “So Josie Quinn…” Arthur stammered. “The reason she left so suddenly was because…“
“Exactly! She knew a long time ago that a doomsday-level earthquake was coming, so she didn’t hesitate for a second. She just ran!” June said with sneer.. “She didn’t even bother to notify you, her own father!”
Arthur was rendered speechless.
Between him and Josie now, there wasn’t a shred of father-daughter sentiment left. They were effectively strangers.
Sylvia sighed. “If only you still had your Spatial Superpower… things wouldn’t be this difficult. We wouldn’t be so backed into a corner.”
June grit her teeth. “Don’t you think I know that? Whether it was the spatial ability or the plant-type ability, if I had even one of them left, I’d be living thousand times better than I am now!”
“Forget it, now isn’t the time for that. Just hurry up and get ready! I expect Albert and Tate won’t delay for long. They’ll probably be ready to move our in three to five days.”
“When they leave, they’ll definitely use some other excuse-like a hunting expedition or a special mission-to keep the rest of the abandoned citizens calm.”
“So, you must keep this news a total secret! It cannot leak out! Otherwise, none of us will make it out of here alive!”
“If either of you leaks this info, don’t blame me for being heartless and leaving you behind!”
“Once the others find out, there will be a riot. The consequences would be unimaginable.”
Hearing June’s threat, Arthur and Sylvia immediately promised, “Don’t worry. This, stays between us; our lips are sealed, and not a single other soul will hear of it!”
“Good,” June said. “Spend the next few days preparing portable food and liquidating our assets. Trade everything for food we can carry
“Alright, we’ll do whatever you say!” Arthur and Sylvia nodded in unison.
