Apocalypse Rebirth: Crazy from Day One

Chapter 456: Chapter 467: Follow Her Closely

As she spoke, Stella Sterling waved to them, her smile bright and radiant.

But in the eyes of the people below, that smile held different meanings.

To most, however, Stella Sterling’s smile seemed genuine, a sign of peace and friendship toward their Sanctyr Base.

As for what Stella Sterling was really thinking, only she herself knew.

Watching the people from Sanctyr Base gradually recede into the distance, Stella Sterling lowered her hand and looked down.

This Sanctyr Base was also built deep in the remote mountains. The terrain was intricate and complex, making it difficult to attack.

Plus, the base had its own defenses. Breaching them wouldn’t be easy.

’But while breaking in from the outside might be difficult, what if the assault came directly from within? That would be a different story, wouldn’t it?’

A smile slowly curled at the corners of Stella Sterling’s mouth.

The pilot beside her shot her a curious glance. This person wasn’t from their base, yet it was the first time he had seen anyone capture Boss Saint’s attention like this.

The helicopters at the base were rarely used. Even Boss Saint himself often left via another route when he went out.

He wouldn’t just take a helicopter directly.

After all, fuel was a critical resource now. Every bit used was a bit gone, so it wasn’t used lightly.

But to think Boss Saint would dispatch a helicopter just to see someone off—it was clear how important he considered this person.

Watching the helicopter depart, the smile on Miles Sanctus’s face gradually faded. He took out a radio and gave a few orders, telling his people on the outside to tail Stella Sterling.

Although Stella Sterling hadn’t shown any resistance toward him today.

But he didn’t dare let his guard down, nor did he fully believe that Stella Sterling would actually show up tomorrow.

He didn’t know her very well, but he was certain of one thing: a person who could build a large base from scratch was by no means simple-minded.

Before, Stella Sterling had seemed very agreeable and completely unguarded around him. While this pleased him, his doubts were also slowly growing.

’Is Stella Sterling really this easy to please? Why don’t I believe it!’

Perhaps her actions were just a ploy to get away from the base first.

And though he was well aware of this, he had to play dumb for now.

After all, simply trapping Stella Sterling here was useless. What he wanted was Stella Sterling herself—her body and her heart.

Only by making Stella Sterling fall completely in love with him would she listen to him. Only then could he slowly infiltrate the base behind her and gradually seize control of her power.

So even though he knew Stella Sterling was just placating him, he had to play along and keep her happy.

He needed to make her lower her guard first so he could slowly win her heart.

So he had no choice but to let her leave for now, to earn some goodwill from her first.

He would plan the rest later.

But no matter what, Stella Sterling had finally come to his territory. He had to keep track of her movements.

It didn’t matter if she didn’t come to Sanctyr Base right away. As long as he knew what she was doing and where she was, seeing her would be easy.

In short, now that she was in his domain, he wouldn’t let her get away so easily.

For him, as long as she was in this region, she was within his control. So what if she left Sanctyr Base? This whole area was crawling with his people.

Whether Stella Sterling left or not made little difference.

The game had only just begun!

After giving his orders, he turned to Selene Larkin and the others, his expression returning to its usual indifference, with no trace of the beaming smile he had worn in front of Stella Sterling.

Seeing him look over, Selene Larkin and the others all lowered their heads slightly.

Then they heard Boss Saint’s imposing voice from above them: "Are you dissatisfied with my actions today?"

He knew they must harbor some resentment. He had been so accommodating to Stella Sterling, even disregarding their feelings to please her.

But he had his own plans!

"We wouldn’t dare."

They all replied in unison. Some even looked up at Miles Sanctus with fervor in their eyes, showing no blame, only trust and loyalty.

Even River Larkin’s face showed complete submission, without a hint of discontent.

Selene Larkin even added, "Big Brother, I believe there’s a reason for everything you do. No matter what you decide, we will always support you."

Miles Sanctus smiled in satisfaction. Selene Larkin, one of his oldest and most trusted followers, truly knew how to please him.

He smiled. "Good, as long as you understand. That Stella Sterling—she is of great use to us. So from now on, not just me, but all of you must treat her with respect."

Although Selene Larkin and River Larkin felt a little unhappy about this, they still agreed.

"Let’s go. We’re heading back. Tell me everything that happened today, down to the last word. I want to know every single detail."

Miles Sanctus led his people back.

Meanwhile, aboard the helicopter, Stella Sterling looked at the pilot with a smile. "Not bad. Your piloting skills are excellent. What did you do before?"

The pilot, extremely respectful and not at all neglectful, quickly replied, "Miss Sterling, I graduated from an aviation academy. I was the top student in my class. It’s just a shame that the apocalypse arrived before I could even start in the industry I love, so I never had a job before."

As he said this, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

’If it weren’t for the apocalypse, I might have become a captain by now.’

’But now? I have all these skills and no way to use them.’

Although Sanctyr Base had aircraft, they were never used unless it was for something important.

If it wasn’t for flying this Miss Sterling out of here today, he probably wouldn’t have even had the chance to touch a plane.

Hearing this, Stella Sterling glanced at him.

He looked dark and thin, but it was clear that his face was still very young, about the same age as her.

Back when the apocalypse started a few years ago, he would have been the right age to have just graduated from college.

There were probably many such stories. So many people’s lifelong ambitions were cut short by the cruel apocalypse, their lives turned completely upside down.
