Gerald scoffed the moment he heard Tina say they could finally live well. The sudden change in her voice was almost amusing. Tina didn't notice his expression, or perhaps she simply chose to ignore it. She quickly stepped forward and said, “Look, Gerald, we've been dying out there. We don't have supplies, we barely have food, and even the house can't protect us anymore. I honestly thought we were going to die, but seeing you here has restored my hope.”She pointed toward the massive bunker behind him. “You have enough space here. Let us come inside and talk properly. We don't need much. Just somewhere warm to sleep, some food, and enough time to figure out what we're going to do.”Gerald stared at her. Then he gave a short, cold laugh.“Inside?”Her smile disappeared.Gerald folded his arms. “You're not entering this place, Tina. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.”Tina blinked as though she hadn't heard him correctly. “What?”“You heard me.”“But Gerald...” She forced another smile

The vehicle continued moving toward them, its large tires crushing through the snow as the engine rumbled heavily in the otherwise silent street. As it came closer, Tina recognized it as a Highlander Cruiser.The vehicle finally stopped directly in front of them.Tina and Henry stared at it, barely able to move. They both swallowed nervously as the driver's window slowly rolled down.A hand appeared first, followed by a familiar voice.“Uh... Ms. Tina? Henry?”Tina's eyes widened.“Jeff?”The driver's face appeared fully through the window. Jeff stared at them in disbelief, clearly recognizing them from their previous business dealings.“Is that really you two?”Tina immediately rushed toward the vehicle, her frozen legs barely carrying her.“Jeff! Jeff, it's you! Oh my God, it's actually you!”.Jeff's eyes moved over Tina. He gulped as he saw the half naked Tina. He immediately felt aroused. And gulped. Then he saw Henry also. taking in their miserable condition. Tina quickly ex

Meanwhile, Gerald and Janet continued through the frozen landscape toward Janet's family home. The journey was quiet, with neither of them saying much. Janet spent most of the time staring through the window, desperately hoping that she would find her family alive.After several more hours, Gerald finally slowed the vehicle.“We are here.”Janet immediately looked outside. Her expression changed.The house was almost completely destroyed.Part of the roof had collapsed, several walls had been torn apart, and the windows were shattered. Snow had covered most of the debris, making the entire place look as though it had been abandoned for years.Janet opened the door before Gerald could even stop her.“Mom!” She rushed toward the house.“Dad!”She stumbled over a pile of frozen debris and quickly regained her balance. “Jason!”She searched through the ruined rooms, calling their names again and again.“Mom! Dad! Jason!”There was no response. Only the howling wind answered her. Janet s

Gerald was genuinely surprised by how quickly everyone moved away from him. Just because they thought he might be an executive, they were treating him as though he had some kind of authority over them.He frowned and finally raised his voice.“Hmm. I don't know what all of you are thinking, but I'm not an executive. I'm only here to look for someone.”The people around him remained silent.Gerald looked from one face to another.“Does anyone here know someone named Jason?” he asked. “Jason. Anyone with that name?”Nobody answered.Instead, several people exchanged uncomfortable glances.Gerald waited for a few seconds, but the silence continued.He nodded.“Forget it.”Clearly, there was no point in reasoning with them.Gerald turned around and started walking away.“What?”The voice suddenly came from behind him.Gerald stopped.Then another voice followed.“What the fuck?”He knew that voice. Gerald slowly turned around. His eyes widened.“Tina…”Tina was standing there, staring at

Tina stared at Gerald for several seconds before suddenly bursting into laughter. She leaned back in her chair, covering her mouth as though she could barely contain herself.“Hahahaha! You don't own a bunker?” she exclaimed. “After all that boasting yesterday? After throwing us out and acting like you were some powerful man?”Henry immediately laughed with her. He slapped the table lightly and shook his head. “This is unbelievable. I knew something was wrong with that story.”Tina pointed at Gerald, her laughter becoming louder. “You are nothing! Absolutely nothing! You saw us that day and acted with this bitch like you are some rich survivor with a private bunker, and now we find out you don't even own the place!”Several executives exchanged uncomfortable glances. Gerald remained standing beside Janet, his expression calm despite the insults being thrown at him.Tina wasn't finished. “You should be ashamed of yourself. People here are struggling to survive, and you came here pr
