Chapter 108 The People Left Behind

Against an avalanche, resistance was impossible. Even the smallest shake could make everything collapse.

The survivors who had stubbornly refused to go to the shelters, clinging to the hope that they might get lucky, completely broke down the moment they faced the avalanche

“It’s over! We’re all dead!” someone cried. Before the avalanche could reach him, he jumped from the building and ended his own life.

Those who were too afraid to die could only hunch together, holding each other as they waited for death to come.

When they were alive, people fought and schemed against one another.

But when death was right in front of them, they found a strange sense of peace.

Half of Karthmoor was gone. The survivors in the remaining half were filled with fear.

They no longer dared to stay in the city. They packed up the few supplies they had left and headed to the shelters.

The once-busy and thriving downtown Karthmoor was gone forever.

No one lived in the city anymore.

In its place were Beckett’s Aurora Base, the shelters, and a handful of people still living on the nearby mountains.

On the neighboring mountain, Zain and Silas talked things over. In the end, they decided to bring their entire group over to Leonel and join him.

After witnessing the overwhelming power of nature, they had finally accepted the truth. There was no way they could survive this apocalypse on their own.

If they hadn’t happened to live next to Leonel’s and benefited from his protection, they probably would have ended up just like the people of Karthmoor, buried beneath the snow forever and never seeing daylight again.

Leonel wasn’t surprised at all when Zain and Silas came to join him.

It had been part of his plan all along.

Zain didn’t have much education, but he was capable and knew how to manage people. He was exactly the kind of factory manager Leonel needed.

Silas had education, talent, and fighting skills. He was the perfect person to help fill the shortage of bodyguards on Leonel’s team.

Having spent over six months with them, Leonel had a pretty good read on their character. They had passed, and they were the kind of people he wanted on his team.
