Chapter 469 An Invitation from Northreach

Langston looked like he had something to say but hesitated.

Robin raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong? Something on your mind?”

Langston didn’t speak, but he glanced around uneasily.

Robin got the message. “Let’s go. If there’s something you need to say, we’ll talk in your office.”

Langston gave her a grateful look and quickly led the way. “Ms. Neel, I know this is sudden…”

“Mm-hm.”

Robin nodded. “There’s no rush. Tell me when we get to your office.

Finished

They continued to his office, where Langston politely ushered her inside. “Ms. Neel, please have a seat.”

“Go ahead.”

Langston said uneasily, “Ms. Neel, you may not know this, but ever since the apocalypse began, Heningford Base has maintained a close partnership with Northreach Base.”

Robin feigned ignorance. “Northreach Base? That base that only accepts elite ability users?”

“Yes.”

Langston nodded. “We take in survivors from all over the country and keep a close eye on the exceptionally strong among them. After observing them for a while, if someone meets the criteria, we refer them to Northreach Base.

“Northreach Base is already one of the strongest bases around. Its entry requirements are extremely strict, but getting in comes with major benefits. The resources there are exceptional. Any powerful ability user would jump at the chance to join Northreach Base.”

Robin nodded thoughtfully. “So why are you telling me all this?

“Besides, a base’s infrastructure and resources are only part of what makes it powerful! Having powerful ability users of its own matters too.

“You really send your own strongest people off to Northreach Base that easily?”

Robin had asked the question deliberately.

She understood the relationship between Heningford Base and Northreach Base better than anyone else.

Still, she could understand why Langston was only telling half the story and leaving the rest out. After all, this was the biggest secret the two bases shared. In her previous life, it hadn’t come to light until ten years into the apocalypse.

She simply wanted to hear how Langston would explain it.

Chapter 469 An-Invitation from Northreach

Finished

Langston smiled bitterly “Ms. Neel, our base needs powerful ability users too. But Heningford Base simply has too many residents, Most of them are ordinary people.

“To keep them safe, we need the backing of an exceptionally powerful base, and Northreach Base is our best option.

“What we need even more are Northreach Base’s firearms and advanced technology, so this partnership is really just a matter of each side getting what it needs.”

“I see.”

Robin nodded as though everything had just clicked. “Then what exactly does this have to do with what you’re trying to tell me?”

Langston let out a long sigh. “You may not know this, but the last fombie swarm was so overwhelming that I sent people to ask Northreach Base for help. Their reinforcements arrived late. They didn’t get here until the battle was almost over.

“They did help a little in the end, which was better than nothing. But your group was so powerful that it caught their attention.”

Langston said seriously, “Ms. Neel, since you said earlier that you’re from Redwood Military Base in Klam, you obviously won’t be staying at Heningford Base for long.

“But the real issue is Northreach Base. They’ve already taken notice of you, and they’ve said they want to meet with you.”

“Just a meeting?”

Langston replied weakly, “Maybe… they want to recruit all of you too.”

He seemed to realize how awkward his position was. “Ms. Neel, I know you may not be interested, but Northreach Base really is powerful. It started as the Academy of Sciences, and they’ve got a lot of advanced technology there…”

Mid-sentence, he suddenly realized something.

Whatever advanced technology, resources, or supplies Northreach Base had, Robin didn’t seem to lack any of it.

Well, this is awkward.

Robin’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Since they’ve already asked, I’ll meet them. Why wouldn’t I?”
