Chapter 186: You are Mine

"Sorry for making you wait out here for so long," came the cheerful voice of as a man walked out of the gates of the City Y Sanctuary Base. "You know what a pain red tape is and everything."

I raised an eyebrow. I understood red tape before the apocalypse, but there was no way they could expect us to believe that excuse now, right? The guy was making a power play and that was it. I sat on the hood of the light blue SUV, the only vehicle left after I put all the others in my space. What can I say? I wasn't going to stand until whoever ran this base was willing to grace us with his presence.

Wang Chao and Liu Wei were leaning on either side of me and Liu Yu Zeng and Chen Zi Han were talking to each other off to the side, but not one of us moved as the man approached. He couldn't have been more than 40 years old, but I was horrible about judging someone's age.
