Chapter 786

e siren sounded early, while most survivors were still asleep or getting up for work.

The timing was one small mercy. If everyone was already at work, getting home would’ve cost them precious time. Some families might never have found each other in the chaos.

At least now, even if they died, they could be together.

Up ahead, Nicole spotted a convoy of enormous trucks. The line stretched so far into the distance that she couldn’t see the end. There had to be at least 20.

If she was right, they carried materials salvaged from other states and hauled all this way to be preserved in the base’s civilization vaults.

The convoy barely made it into the base before the alarm sounded.

Two hours wasn’t enough to unload everything, pack it for transport, and secure it aboard ships before they left. The drivers apparently realized that, too, and abandoned their trucks to save themselves.

Not a soul remained near the convoy. With disaster closing in, anything people couldn’t eat or drink was easy to leave behind.

Near the main gate, almost everyone was heading toward the evacuation points. Even the guards left their posts to help keep order.

The trucks could hold books, seeds, machinery, or artifacts thousands of years old.

For some reason, Nicole thought of Arthur. She stopped, then turned and ran toward the convoy.

Zeph followed without hesitation.

The first massive truck vanished into her storage space.

The four of them hurried down the line, and one truck after another disappeared as they passed.

Nicole stored all 21 trucks in the space. They took up so much room that she had to park some across the farmland

and herb fields.

Even at a dead run, getting from the house to the main gate took an hour.

As soon as they reached an open area, Nicole brought out the helicopter. All four climbed aboard.

Nicole, Zeph, and Poppy strapped on their parachutes. Getting the straps right took practice, but they had rehearsed it so often that their hands knew what to do.

Zeph settled into the pilot’s seat, while Nicole secured Cola in his harness and attached it to her waist. Then she took out a long, thin rope, and the three of them clipped onto it.

If the helicopter went down before they could jump, the rope would keep them connected so they could enter the storage space together.

With everyone ready, the rotors picked up speed, and the helicopter slowly rose into the air.

Across the base, fighter jets, transport planes, and helicopters took off one after another.

Evacuations were underway by land, sea, and air. Aircraft carried the fewest people, with seats reserved for those whose skills or roles made them essential. They were the first to get clear.

The helicopter climbed steadily from 300 feet to 10,000. The ground fell away, and everything below grew smaller.

cole raised her binoculars.

Out on the ocean, dark gray submarines slipped beneath the surface, one after another. Countless orange and dark red escape pods spread across the water, bobbing like scattered ping-pong balls.

Halloway lay far from any tectonic plate boundary, but it was still on the coast. An asteroid impact would almost certainly bring massive tsunamis.

Below, long lines of reinforced buses packed with survivors wound away from the base.

Nicole watched the base grow smaller beneath them, her face tightening.

To avoid turbulence from the earthquakes and tsunamis, Zeph climbed to nearly 20 thousand feet and headed inland.

At ten thousand feet, they could still breathe comfortably enough. As they climbed higher, the thinning air left Nicole gasping, and she quickly pulled out oxygen masks.

Less than half an hour after takeoff, the whole planet seemed to shudder.

The ground split open, mountains crumbled, and towering walls of seawater crashed inland.
