There was no way she could move that fast, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas lifted a hand and pointed. \"Over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy and Leonard turned at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The direction Thomas indicated was the nearest apartment building beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy quietly let out a breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good. It wasn’t Wendy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them stared carefully for a while but didn’t notice anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What floor?\" Leonard asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know.\" Thomas lowered his gaze slightly. \"I just vaguely sensed it coming from there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them looked again, but there wasn’t a single visible figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard frowned. \"There’s nothing there. Are you sure you didn’t imagine it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy spoke instead. \"Not necessarily. Whoever it was could’ve hidden already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a mercenary, Thomas’s instincts were far sharper than theirs. And after feeding him spirit spring water every day for so long, Suzy trusted his intuition completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t think it was a false alarm. Someone was definitely observing them in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it for now. Let’s just leave first,\" Suzy urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three continued onward, but Leonard kept glancing toward the direction Thomas had pointed until the building disappeared from sight entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they had fully left Starlight Towers behind, a figure slowly emerged from the corner of a twentieth-floor balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man held a pair of binoculars in his hands as he stared in the direction Suzy and the others had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\" He turned and walked back into the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on outside?\" a rough male voice asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man with the binoculars replied, \"People. Two men and a woman. They’ve got a speedboat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had observed them carefully. All three looked healthy and well-fed, nothing like the desperate survivors barely scraping by after the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant one thing––they had supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A speedboat?\" The rough voice rose noticeably with excitement. \"They’ve got something that good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... but Parker, those people don’t look easy to mess with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester looked toward the broad-shouldered man sitting in the middle of the living room and hesitated before adding the warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spacious living room was dimly lit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man called Parker sat sprawled across the sofa like a king, a beautiful woman leaning quietly beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Chester’s words, he raised an eyebrow lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not easy to mess with? What’s that supposed to mean? Don’t tell me they just look fierce.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Parker, I’m serious.\" Chester gave a bitter smile before continuing. \"One of the men is insanely sharp. I only watched them for a short while before he noticed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t hidden quickly enough, he probably would’ve been caught on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that distance, for the other man to detect him so quickly... That definitely wasn’t normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parker took a few moments to think about his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything else?\" he asked then. \"Did you notice anything more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They seem to be living pretty comfortably. Healthy complexions, good condition... they’ve probably got a lot of supplies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\" Parker waved dismissively. \"Go back out and keep watching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester returned to the balcony once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The living room was left with only Parker and the woman beside him. The man turned toward her, his tone softening considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rain stopped today. I’ll take you out for a walk later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman nodded obediently. \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Suzy had been there, she would have recognized the woman immediately because it was none other than Vanessa Sanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester returned to the balcony once again. Today, his job was to monitor the situation outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain had finally stopped, and he was certain many survivors would start venturing out today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to get a clear understanding of the survivors living in the residential complex before moving forward with the next phase of their plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this spot gave him the perfect view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, anyone leaving Starlight Towers would inevitably pass through this route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester patiently observed the area for a while. No one had appeared outside yet, though faint movement could occasionally be seen on the balconies of the nearby buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still plenty of survivors here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so far, very few people were willing to leave their homes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy and the others had been among the very first to head out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was out now, warm and bright. Its heat spread lazily across Chester’s body, making him drowsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He yawned. Then suddenly, his ears twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His senses were far sharper than ordinary people’s. That was precisely why this task had been assigned to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester looked eastward. A distant sound was growing louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He narrowed his eyes and raised the binoculars in his hands, focusing on the direction of the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound rapidly intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a speedboat entered his field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flickered as he called toward the living room, \"Parker, more people are coming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A woman. Driving a speedboat alone.\" Chester clicked his tongue. \"Looks young too. Probably pretty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze remained fixed on the boat below. A woman sat aboard the black speedboat, bundled tightly from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black sportswear. Hair tied into a ponytail. A face mask covering most of her features, revealing only her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester had seen all kinds of people in his life. Just from her eyes alone, he could tell she was young and probably very attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In times like these, a woman daring to go out alone—and so openly at that—was almost unheard of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t she afraid of being targeted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A woman? By herself?\" Parker’s interest was instantly piqued, one brow lifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Completely alone,\" Chester replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no one else on the speedboat. Aside from the woman herself, there was only a single backpack on board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parker stood abruptly and strode toward the balcony. \"Let me see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa, who had originally been sitting quietly beside him, glanced up sharply before following after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them stepped onto the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester immediately handed over the high-powered binoculars. \"Over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed toward the direction of the approaching speedboat.\u003C\u002Fp>",1044,"2026-05-30T15:23:36.944Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","5cf7a7bc60cc9a5d7a51b2dbd31c17aff26d9dd8c37b4f4d15942309f6dc8a68","sickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-chapter-192","sickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-chapter-190",210,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-cover.jpg"]
