Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458.

Chapter 458.

When the earth swallowed people like this, it wasn’t a simple fall into a hole. The fissure moved like a giant mouth. Like a wave of sail the ground would heave up ten meters and then fold back down, crushing and burying people and supplies beneath the weight of the

crust.

Many of those swallowed by the land weren’t dead the moment they were buried. They were trapped deep underground, able to hear the chaos above but with zero chance of escape. They could only lie in the dark, waiting for death to slowly arrive..

Arthur Quinn’s legs turned to jelly at the sight. He couldn’t even stand up.

June was forced to grab her parents and drag them backward, inch by inch. They barely escaped being consumed by the shifting cracks

Albert had been right about one thing: June Quinn’s luck was uncanny.

Dozens of fissures opened and closed, merged and split, but not a single one reached the spot where June stood. Albert and Tave managed to survive solely by piggybacking on her luck, dodging the earth’s hunger time and time after time.

“You’re free to refuse, of course. It doesn’t bother me.”

“But if you want my help, I want the power!”

June didn’t hide her hunger for status anymore. She wanted to be a woman of power. She wanted to call the shots in this apocalypse, standing at the pinnacle of humanity to enjoy ultimate glory and luxury.

Albert never expected June to demand something so bold. His brow furrowed, and he prepared to argue,

June spoke over him. “Look at what’s left of your convoy. There aren’t even ten thousand people left alive, are there? Do you still think you’re the high-and-mighty Chief of Fort City Base?”
