Apocalypse Rebirth: Crazy from Day One

Chapter 541: Chapter 550: Time to Go Back

Stella Sterling made the decision on the spur of the moment.

The idea came to her when she saw the people who wanted to join Caeluna Base.

The people from Caeluna Base exchanged glances after hearing this, understanding that Sterling wanted to give these people a hand.

These people had just suffered a great disaster, and with the world in its current state, just figuring out how to survive was a huge problem for the residents of Veridia, even if they had made it this far.

But Sterling’s action solved a major problem for them.

Establishing a branch of Caeluna Base was a massive project. It would require a lot of manpower, which meant it could help many people.

Thinking of this, the members of Caeluna Base were happy for them, but also a little envious.

Normally, it wasn’t so easy to join Caeluna Base. The recruitment standards were getting stricter and stricter, accepting only the best of the best.

But these people had stumbled upon a golden opportunity.

Even if they were mainly being recruited to help build the base, once they were in Caeluna Base, they wouldn’t be kicked out as long as they didn’t cause trouble.

’Didn’t these guys just luck out?’

’Come to think of it, it was much harder for us when we joined.’

At that moment, many people in the crowd overheard their conversation and were shocked to learn they had such an opportunity.

They had just been wishing they could join Caeluna Base, and now it seemed their wish was about to come true.

Everyone was thrilled. Joining Caeluna Base meant they would have a future. They had been feeling lost, but now they could suddenly see a glimmer of hope.

However, some people showed worry in their eyes. One of them boldly walked up to Stella Sterling and her group, saying, "Miss Sterling, we know you’re doing this to help us, to give us a path forward. But the situation in Veridia is a bit complicated. The people from Sanctyr Base are incredibly domineering. This is their territory. I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult for you to build a base here!"

Although they wanted to seize the chance to join Caeluna Base, they didn’t want to see their benefactors get into huge trouble with Sanctyr Base.

If possible, they would have actually preferred to follow the people of Caeluna Base back to their main headquarters.

The one who spoke up was a young woman. Stella Sterling looked at her and smiled. "Since I’ve made this plan, I’ve naturally already considered that."

’Sanctyr Base?’

’Sanctyr Base no longer exists. I don’t even know what corner their leader, Miles Sanctus, is hiding in.’

’They’re probably powerless to cause me trouble even if they wanted to.’

She looked at the young woman before her and smiled. "What about you? Are you afraid of Sanctyr Base? Do you dare to join Caeluna?"

Hearing this, the woman immediately lifted her head. "I dare. Why wouldn’t I?"

"Very good. From this day forward, you are a member of Caeluna Base."

After saying this, Stella stood up and left.

The woman watched her go, her eyes filled with excitement.

Black Swan and the others patted her on the shoulder. "Congratulations! We’re all comrades now!"

Stella Sterling walked over to another area. These were the people who had followed her after escaping from Sanctyr Base the day before.

She had sent them yesterday to check on another group of people, and they were only just now returning.

When Stella saw that they had only two people following them, she understood what had happened.

Someone said, "Sterling, the situation was pretty bad where they were when we arrived. We managed to rescue some, but only two made it out alive. The rest are all..."

Before he could finish, they all lowered their heads. Stella Sterling was silent for a moment, then turned to the two survivors. "From now on, you’ll stay by my side."

As for those who had died, there was nothing she could do. They had followed her out of Sanctyr Base, and she had intended to bring them back to Caeluna Base, but she never expected such a tragedy. She could only chalk it up to fate.

From yesterday until now, Caeluna Base hadn’t officially expanded its numbers, but many people had chosen to follow her because of Stella herself.

Stella Sterling now had nearly a hundred people by her side, several times more than the group she had brought from Caeluna Base.

Stella Sterling couldn’t possibly take all of them back to the main Caeluna Base. But since they had chosen to follow her, she couldn’t just abandon them either.

Conveniently, she had already decided to establish a branch of Caeluna Base here in Veridia.

Therefore, Stella Sterling left a large portion of the people here, including some of the original members of Caeluna Base.

A new branch needed to be established, which involved a lot of work and required a great deal of manpower in all aspects. The addition of these new people happened to solve that problem perfectly.

Leaving some of the original Caeluna Base members behind was also a way to keep these newcomers in line. Otherwise, they would surely cause chaos the moment she left.

With the capabilities of the Caeluna Base members, they were more than enough to keep the new recruits under control.

Not to mention, she also had Black Swan and Seven Locke stay behind this time to handle the establishment of the branch.

With them here, Stella Sterling was at ease.

And so, of the people who had newly joined Stella Sterling, only a small, capable few whom she had taken a liking to were brought along with her.

The vast majority were left here in Veridia.

After arranging these matters, Stella Sterling went back to find Felix Lawrence.

She had promised Felix Lawrence she would get revenge for him, and she would not go back on her word.

’After I take care of this, I should head back to Caeluna Base,’ she thought. ’I’ve been out for a long time, and I’ve done everything I needed to do. It’s time to go back.’

She had her subordinates wait for her in one place while she and Arthur Shaw went to find Felix Lawrence and the others.

As they neared their destination, she pulled the unconscious River Larkin out of her dimensional space.

Andrew Shaw jumped, startled to see another person suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Before, he had only seen this woman pull things like food and supplies out of thin air. This was the first time he had ever seen her produce a person.

He gave Stella Sterling a suspicious glance. ’This woman doesn’t have some perverted hobby, does she? Like collecting human bodies?’

Although he was extremely curious, Andrew Shaw didn’t have the guts to ask.

Stella paid him no mind. She slapped River Larkin’s face twice, SMACK! SMACK!, jolting him awake.

"Stella Sterling!"

River Larkin shouted as he shot up into a sitting position. "Where is this? Where did you take me? Let me go back right now! Otherwise, Sanctyr Base will never let you get away with this!"
