Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: News from Forrest Sterling and the Capture

"Darling, you have to find out what happened! My brother, Ethan Soto... how could he have just vanished like that?! Someone must have hurt him!"

Megan Soto’s voice was sharp and tinged with tears. "He likes to fool around, I know, but he would never disappear for this long without a word!

Someone must have gone after him!"

Shawn Gardner.

A member of the Central Base Administrative Committee, a core figure in The Resource Faction, and Megan Soto’s husband.

He slowly nodded.

"Alright, don’t worry." His voice was steady, carrying the characteristic composure of a man in power.

"The base has seen a huge influx of survivors from other areas recently. It’s a complicated situation. We can’t rule out the possibility that someone found out who Ethan is and is trying to use him to threaten me."

He stood up, walked over to the communication console, and pressed a button.

"I’ll have people look into it.

Every surveillance record, every list of people coming and going—we’ll go through it all.

As long as he’s still in the base, we will find him."

Megan Soto relaxed slightly at his words, but the hatred on her face didn’t diminish in the least. "When you find them, you have to make the people who hurt him pay!"

Shawn Gardner didn’t respond. He just stared into the darkness outside the window, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

Meanwhile, inside the RV on the surface.

The atmosphere was far more relaxed than in the hellishly hot world outside.

Dexter Luther held his bowl, shoveling large mouthfuls of the fried rice Seraphina Sullivan had just made. He was practically inhaling it.

Crystal Lynn and Matthew Dawson next to him weren’t much better. Though their eating was a bit more refined, they were just as fast.

"I’ve been meaning to ask, Sullivan," Dexter Luther said through a mouthful of food, his eyes glancing out the window. "What’s the deal with that... that Snow Cloud outside?"

Everyone followed his gaze.

Through the window, they could clearly see a white cloud drifting slowly about ten meters above the RV. Fine snowflakes fell from it, turning to white mist in the scorching heat of the cataclysm and bringing a rare coolness to their small area.

Seraphina Sullivan had just used her [Worker] Talent and was now adjusting the details of the [Highly Poisonous Potion] Skill from her [Pharmacist] Profession.

Hearing Dexter Luther’s question, she answered casually, "It’s an item I got from the last instance, called the [Weather Cloud].

Every day, you can choose one type of weather and create it in a small area."

She paused, then added, "Unfortunately, the range is too small, just this little patch.

If it were bigger, it might even be able to help everyone resist the cataclysm’s extreme heat."

"That’s already incredible!" Dexter Luther exclaimed in genuine admiration. "Look at those Four Seasons Deer. They’re all just lying there, not wanting to move an inch."

It was true. A dozen or so Four Seasons Deer were lying contentedly around the RV, enjoying the rare coolness. A few had even started to doze off.

Seraphina Sullivan smiled but said no more.

She looked toward Crystal Lynn, changing the subject. "If you came over here by yourself, what about Freya Lynn? Is she alone underground?"

Crystal Lynn waved her hand. "I don’t have to worry about that. I traded some supplies to have a dependable older woman look after her.

She used to be a kindergarten teacher, so she’s great with kids. Plus, she lives right next to us, so it’s really convenient."

"That’s good," Seraphina Sullivan nodded.

In a corner, Paul Payne was eating the fried rice in his bowl, taking small bites.

It had been a very, very long time since he’d eaten food this hot and fragrant.

Every bite made his eyes well up.

He stole a glance at Seraphina Sullivan, then at Dexter Luther and the others who were wolfing down their food, and thought to himself:

’I have to seize this opportunity.
