Upgradable Space: Reborn to Survive the Apocalypse

Chapter 512 News from the Military

Nelson then shared something that made Caroline genuinely excited. "I figured out how to stop Denton's ability from attacking everyone around him." Caroline's eyes lit up instantly. This was amazing. She wouldn't have to dodge Denton during fights anymore. ... Caroline slept beautifully that night. Even though she and Raven had taken turns breaking the giant python's will these past days, she'd burned more energy than she realized. For the first time in a while, she slept a full six or seven hours. When she woke up, she heard Denton and Tyler had already set some traps and would finish the rest tomorrow. They all ate together. Denton was overjoyed after learning that his ability could finally spare his teammates. He hopped around the room, bragging that Nelson had practically saved his future love life. Now, if he liked a girl, he could first give her immunity, so she would only see his handsome self and not smell his deadly aura. Nelson tossed him a cold bucket of truth. "But still, training yourself to control your ability is important. Mine only blocks it for now. After a while, their bodies will adapt and the effect will weaken. Then the medicine won't work anymore." Denton deflated instantly. But then, he perked up and made a dramatic vow to master ability control. Since he needed to learn it, someone had to help him run the experiments. In the end, only poor Pinky and poor Biscuit got dragged away for experiments. Still, over the next few days, Caroline and Tyler could smell a faint stink lingering around Denton. His ability had been used so often, it practically marinated itself into his skin. After another day of rest, Caroline decided she would head to the nearby malls tomorrow to collect jewelry and gemstones to upgrade the storage space. Tyler and Denton still needed to finish the traps, so they wouldn't go with her. She only brought Raven. But she had barely walked out when the military arrived.This time, they brought an entire truck filled with mutated creature corpses. And one more piece of news. The military base was almost finished. In three days, Caroline's team would be invited for a tour. "We'll come pick you up. It's actually not far," Alger said with a smile as he delivered the supplies. Tyler noticed the truck even had ice inside to keep temperatures down. It looked like the military was getting wealthy. Just when Tyler thought Alger was done, Alger tugged him aside quietly. He wanted to say something privately. Once they were out of earshot, Alger lowered his voice. "There's something our colonel told me to ask you in private. Do you know someone named Shane Roffe?" Hearing that name again, Tyler's expression tightened. But he still nodded. "Yes." More than simply knowing him—he was the one who threw Shane into another city. "Shane has been causing chaos in several nearby cities. The military tried to catch him and lock him in a special ability-user prison, but failed every time." Tyler wasn't surprised. He'd seen firsthand how dangerous Shane was. "Just a few days ago, a city hundreds of miles away asked for help. They needed top-tier ability users to deal with him. Commander Ball sent Colonel Sutton. And guess what? The moment Shane saw him, the first thing he asked was where Nelson was." Tyler understood why Alger came privately. Francis must have reacted strongly to hearing Nelson's name. And this delivery wasn't only from Francis. Some soldiers from Andrew's old unit were also present. Andrew had been transferred, but his men stayed behind. Alger didn't want anyone unfamiliar with the situation overhearing something sensitive. Tyler briefly explained Shane's involvement with them. Alger slapped his thigh. "So that's the story! Then maybe we can restrain him with the cupcake. You don't know how close Colonel Sutton came to dying fighting that man. The upper levels are watching him now. They're gathering ability users to take him down. "He's dangerous and mentally unstable. A real lunatic. The cupcake might not be enough to fully control him. That's why we didn't dare keep him near us."
