Chapter 693
Hayley made a quick exit Trou Ruby’s lab.
She really didn’t see the appeal of that conversation.
What was so great about men, anyway?
Was it better than a warehouse full of supplies?
Better than having control over everything?
Better than watching her base grow, brick by brick?
Not even close!
After leaving Ruby, Hayley had Thomas bring Winona to her office. She still had questions about that lab.
Winona had said her mother was a doctor, the one giving injections. And now, they knew that place belonged to Ascendant Creed. That meant Winona’s mother was very likely one of them.
That was a major lead.
Hayley waited in her office. Before long, there was a knock, and the door opened.
More than just Winona walked in. Laurel and Felix came with her.
Laurel stood there, staring at everything around her in shock. Ever since entering the Haylight League, she felt like her brain couldn’t keep up.
Was this really the apocalypse?
How could a place like this even exist?
It felt like heaven.
“What are you…” Hayley blinked, almost forgetting she had brought them back.
She was surprised how lucky Laurel and Felix were.
They were still alive.
After everything they had been through, their view of Hayley had completely changed.

“There are washing machines. Why would I need you for that?”
“I can gather wild greens and make soup.”
Hayley waved her off. “We’ve gonechanized farming. Livestock are raised at scale. Cooking is handled by actual chefs. Nobody needs that.”
Laurel’s eyes immediately filled with tears. She looked at Hayley like she had nowhere else to go.
“Step aside. You. What can you do?”
Felix hesitated. “I can catch fish. Does that count?”
Hayley stared at him, completely blank. “Didn’t you two have any skills before all this?”
Laurel and Felix exchanged a glance before answering together, “We were both rich kids. We collected rent and traveled… That was about it.”
Hayley just looked at them, not even sure what to say.
