Chapter 193

For the following days, Jasper didn't set a foot outside, either training the dog or his sister, and then practicing with Stella. When boredom crept in, they'd play a game of cards, partnering Cooper with Rosie, fearing her intellect might fall short.

As long as nobody from the outpost invited them, they barely left their room. If it were before the apocalypse, this would have driven anyone crazy. But after surviving two years of disaster, there wasn't much they weren't used to.

In this post-apocalyptic world, those who could manage to stay indoors were the real winners.

In the meantime, the rivalry between these two bases was escalating. Bryce, being the cautious type, didn't want to gamble with his comfortable life, while the leader from Alpha Outpost, with his hot temper and brutal ways, seemed more and more aggressive. It was easy to adapt to luxury, but hard to give it up. Silver Asylum used to enjoy daily shipments of supplies, but now, as the conflict intensified, they were lucky to receive even half a truckload. Naturally, this tightened the belts of Bryce's men.

Silver Asylum couldn't understand why they weren't taking out Alpha Outpost, instead, they kept retreating.

"Might as well give them the outpost," they grumbled.

This made Bryce anxious. He knew that without his men's support, he was nothing. If things continued like this, not only would his men lose respect for him, but they could also turn against him, or even leave the outpost. This fight had to happen, whether he wanted it or not.

Eventually, he chose to fight.

After days of surveillance, nothing unusual from Jasper was noted, except that their nights seemed too quiet. He didn't expect someone as tough as Jasper to last only three minutes. Bryce felt some sympathy for him; such a waste for the beautiful woman by his side. Meanwhile, Jasper was also feeling awkward, "Does it have to be this way?"
