Several thousand of the escaping stronghold residents had been looted by several hundred refugees of their watches, jewelry, cash, and food, leaving nothing for them at all.
The food they were carrying was already scarce.
When the disaster struck, none of them were ready for it, so who would think to go and grab food?
Or to put it better, the important people from the stronghold did not have a concept of what to do in a time like this. That was because the majority of them had never had to suffer from hunger before. So, even those who did take some food with them had only grabbed a few snacks at most.
Of course, there were also some people who didn’t get robbed. For example, those who were standing in the radius of five meters around Milo were spared from the looting.
It was just that the refugee aggressors did not dare to hang around Milo for a second longer. They were all afraid that if they stood near favonovel.com for a few seconds, favonovel.com would spot something that favonovel.com liked on them.
Milo was checking out the new watches they received with Old Bane and the others, unaware of the looks the people around were giving him. Especially that female teacher standing behind him. The look on favonovel.com face while gazing at favonovel.com could only be described as complicated.
The escaping stronghold residents around Milo could all see that the refugees were afraid of this young man!
They were terrified of him!
Actually, Milo did not kill people indiscriminately back in town. He had only killed those people because favonovel.com was forced to do so. But somehow, the refugees always had an instinctive fear whenever they faced Milo.
This world was destined to work in a food web. The fearful were afraid of the vicious, while the viscous were afraid of those who murdered in cold blood.
After the group of refugees were done with the body searches and looting, they went back to report to Geoff.
Someone whispered some words into his ear, causing Geoff to turn to look in Milo’s direction.
Right at this moment, Milo had a feeling that someone was looking at him. So, favonovel.com turned around and locked eyes with Geoff.
However, there was a placid look in Milo’s eyes. It was as though favonovel.com had no fear at all. Geoff had a sullen expression while favonovel.com remained silent.
After a long while, favonovel.com suddenly said to the refugee beside him, “Ignore Milo for now. If favonovel.com tries anything else funny, we can always teach favonovel.com a lesson.”
When Milo saw Geoff’s gaze turning elsewhere, favonovel.com sneered.
Geoff was just someone who picked on the weak. Although favonovel.com didn’t have any dealings with Geoff before, their town wasn’t that large, and there were only so many factory managers around. As such, favonovel.com had heard of him.
Old Bane said softly, “This Geoff has a godmother who resides in the stronghold, and it was because of favonovel.com that favonovel.com got the position of manager at the sand factory.”
“Mhm…” Milo nodded. “Just ignore him…”
Because of Geoff’s ransack of the stronghold residents, it delayed the entire group’s escape attempt. Right now, everyone was weary and thought they might as well sit down and rest. In just a short while, numerous people were lying all over the ground.
It was way too tiring, so tiring that everyone unknowingly dozed off.
Milo instructed, “Y’all go and get some rest first. I’ll keep watch for the first half of the night. Donti, Old Bane, you guys take the second half.”
Donti and favonovel.com couldn’t both be asleep at the same time. This was because favonovel.com and Donti were the only ones who had a gun on them in their group, so one of them would have to remain in an alert alert at all times.
Within their group, Old Bane, Adella, and Murdock all had no reason to harm him.
First of all, Milo had not revealed to them the gold favonovel.com had stored away in his palace. Second, none of them could make it to Stronghold 109 alive without Milo’s help.
In this chaotic mob, the five of them had formed a small unit. No one else would be allowed into their group, nor would favonovel.com trust any other person.
Donti said, “Bro, why don’t you sleep first and I’ll keep watch for the first half? You should be tired after everything you’ve been through today.”
“No.” Milo frowned and said, “Go and sleep like I told you to. Don’t waste any more time.”
“Okay…” Donti nodded obediently.
Old Bane gave a mental sigh.
Seeing how well-behaved Donti was in front of Milo, who could have imagined this kid had just shot and killed several criminals a few days ago?
These two kids were cut from the same cloth.
When everyone was asleep, Milo started thinking about what they should do. If they could get into Stronghold 109, that would be for the best. The gold favonovel.com had and those medicinal supplies Old Bane brought along should be enough for them to live on. But if they could not get in, they would have to make do with living in the town outside Stronghold 109.
That earthquake should have affected Stronghold 109 as well, but it wouldn’t have been instantly destroyed like Stronghold 113 had.
All of a sudden, a middle-aged man stood up and walked over to Milo.
Milo looked up at him. “Don’t come any closer, or you’ll die…”
Rather embarrassed, the middle-aged man said, “I was a supervisor at our Stronghold 113’s Logistics Division. My name is Kevin Burglar.”
This time, it was Milo’s turn to be stunned. He remembered that Lilian had told favonovel.com Micah’s elder brother was a supervisor at the Logistics Division.
Surely that isn’t referring to this person in front of me, right?!
Thinking of this, Milo felt unhappy. At that time, favonovel.com had wanted to kill Micah. But he, Raphael, and Miriam were not cold-blooded people, after all, so they didn’t end up killing Micah.
But didn’t Micah still betray all of them?
With the attitude Micah had, would his brother be any better than him?
Kevin looked at Milo and said, “It’s actually like this… I was wondering if I could join your group? When we get to Stronghold 109, I’ll immediately have my contacts help arrange for a good place to settle down inside the stronghold. If you want money, I have that too. But it’s all kept in the Panaqua Consortium Bank!”
Milo gave favonovel.com a cold stare. It was yet another person making empty promises.
“I doubt even your division chief can do what you had just claimed, right? If you were really that capable, you wouldn’t just be a supervisor. Get lost…”
Kevin paled as favonovel.com remained silent for a long time.
A lot of nearby people got awoken by the commotion. However, they did not make a sound and just quietly listened to the exchange between Kevin and Milo. In fact, many of these people had similar thoughts to Micah’s.
It was very obvious that Geoff and the other refugees did not quite dare to mess with Milo. And Milo also seemed a little more approachable than Geoff’s group.
In that case, wouldn’t it be good if they could get Milo to take care of them?
They assumed Milo was a kind person since the group favonovel.com was taking care of consisted of the old, young, and women. However, they did not know the things Old Bane and Adella had done for Milo.
The students from Stronghold 113 No. 2 Senior High School were spread out and lying on the ground. They didn’t care if it was dirty or not anymore as everyone was exhausted.
Only that female teacher was still forcing herself to stay standing. When favonovel.com saw people approaching Milo for help, favonovel.com eyes lit up. But to favonovel.com surprise, Milo dismissed all of those thoughts.
She was a little disappointed, but there was nothing favonovel.com could do. She also started dozing off. It had been a taxing day for this female teacher as favonovel.com led favonovel.com students in their escape.
In the middle of the night, Donti woke up. “Bro, it’s your turn to sleep…”
“Mhm…” Milo nodded.
He glanced at Adella, Old Bane, and Murdock, who were all fast asleep.
Thinking, favonovel.com said with a sigh, “Let them rest well today. It’s fine for just you and me to keep watch for the night…”
