While Alliance Base celebrated its victory, the Braventonians slipped through a blizzard and approached

the underwater settlement.

The sea was frozen by then, but the entrances still opened above the ice.

They killed the guards and attacked through the ventilation shafts, filling the base with fire and smoke before sealing the vents. Anyone who made it outside came under gunfire.

That attack alone left half the base’s population dead or wounded.

Several more clashes followed, with neither side able to finish the other off.

Yesterday’s battle was another bloodbath. By the end, Antoni’s people had no ammunition or medicine

left.

Unwilling to let their wounded friends die, they went looking for help.

They never expected to find Nicole’s family. After being turned away, they returned home and removed

the bullets themselves.

When the injured men grew worse, they decided to come back and try again.

“Please,” Antoni said. “If you can save them, we can give you liquor, ham, corn, potatoes. Whatever you

need.”

Nicole exchanged a look with Zeph. He glanced at Ivory, considered it, then said, “I think we can try.”

One of Ivory’s scars clearly came from a weapon. It was further evidence that other survivors were

active nearby.

If these men were the ones who hurt her, Zeph doubted she would be so calm around them.

Their conflict with the Alliance might also make them useful neighbors. They didn’t need to become close allies, but staying on friendly terms could help, and there was no reason to create another enemy.

Nicole weighed the risks and agreed.

Food and medicine were among the most valuable things left in the world. The Braventonians seemed to have food, but medical supplies were clearly another matter.

Herbal medicine required knowledge and experience. Handing over medicinal plants wouldn’t help much if no one knew how to use them, regardless of where they came from.

Nicole made no promises. “We don’t have any regular medication, and we’re low on medicinal herbs. I’ll do what I can, but they might not make it.”

Antoni looked relieved. “Thank you. Even if you can’t save them, the ham and two bottles of liquor are yours. A gift from friends.”

“Bring them over,” Nicole said. “One person can help you. Everyone else stays back.”

Antoni trudged back and enlisted another man. Together, they pulled the two unconscious patients

toward her on sleds.

Nicole was surprised they survived the journey. In their condition, hours out in the cold could easily have finished them…

One sled also carried the promised bottles and a whole cured pork leg.

Their food portions were as hefty as they were. Even after drying, the ham weighed well over ten pounds.

Zeph sent both men back 50 yards while Nicole crouched beside the patients. She checked their pulses and lifted their eyelids.

Both showed signs of infection, but she couldn’t properly examine their wounds in the freezing air.
