Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474.

“Then it’s settled. I’ll check out the Sierra City Official Base. Zane, you take the other brothers to scout the two private bases. Half of the Blue Owl Squad will stay behind to guard the base,” Josie assigned the tasks. “While we’re gone, we don’t see anyone-not humans, not Undead. Everything waits until we return!*

“We don’t know the situation with the human bases yet, but the fact that they’ve split into three suggests things will be complicated.”

It might take us a while.”

“So, just keep things running here. Don’t worry about anything else.”

“I’m going to lay landmines at the foot of the mountain. No one except me and the Blue Owl Squad can disarm them. Don’t go down the mountain for no reason, and don’t accidentally step into the minefield.”

As Josie spoke, everyone nodded along. Once the arrangements were made, they immediately sprang into action.

Josie led the Blue Owl Squad to the base of the mountain to lay the mines. These wouldn’t stop high-tier Undead above Tier-6, but they were more than enough for anything Tier-4 or below. Not all Undead had been military geniuses in their previous lives; Most ordinary people had no clue how these things worked when they were alive, so they certainly wouldn’t figure them out as Undead.

Technology might not be as effective as it was before the apocalypse, but it could still cause plenty of trouble. At the very least, a mine going off would serve as an alarm for those on the mountain, ensuring they wouldn’t be caught off guard.

Once the defenses were set, the teams agreed to meet back at the mountain in ten days. Regardless of what they found, they would return to exchange intelligence. After confirming the plan, the groups split up.

Josie didn’t know the exact location of the Official Base, but that didn’t matter. As long as she could find signs of human activity, she could find the base. If the payment was high enough, there was no information that couldn’t be bought.

Sierra City still had a significant human population, and since they needed to eat, they had to venture out for supplies. Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Josie to encounter a human scavenger squad.

When they first saw her, they looked at her with suspicion. However, once they realized she was a young, beautiful girl, they lowered their guard-though only slightly. After all, Tier-6 Undead existed now. A Tier-5 Undead looked identical to a human, let alone a Tier-6. For a girl like Josie to be out here alone made it hard for them not to be wary. Everyone out here had learned their lessons the hard way

I’m from out of town. I’m looking for the location of the Sierra City Official Base,” Josie said. As she spoke, she reached into her space and pulled out a 200-gram bag of salt.

The scavengers’ eyes lit up the moment they saw the salt.

a hundred

This was the good stuff! Supplies in the bases were ridiculously expensive now. A single bag of salt like that would cost over a credits, enough to feed a family for a month. But salt was a biological necessity; you couldn’t survive without it. People usually pinched pennies just to trade for twenty or fifty grams at a time. A bag this big was enough to last them two years if they were careful

“I know where it is! I’ll take you!” someone in the group reacted first. I’m from the Official Base!”
