After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret-Chapter 164: Three Days
The moment Julian Dempsey saw who it was, his face lit up as he began making introductions.
"This is my girlfriend, Yara Garcia,
and she’s our team’s Space Superpower User."
"Yara Garcia, you know a lot about the Superpower User Alliance?"
Eric Stone looked up and retorted.
"I don’t know much about them.
Do you?
Just the fact that they’re willing to take on that bunch of freeloaders,
that alone makes me admire them."
Yara Garcia’s tone was sharp.
And the "freeloaders" she was talking about were the people outside.
After Yara Garcia finished, Julian Dempsey looked a little embarrassed.
After all, Chase Gallagher and his group were still present.
"Yara’s philosophy is just a bit different, she doesn’t mean any harm,"
Julian Dempsey explained.
"Eric, don’t be angry.
Let’s discuss this matter among ourselves again."
"I know what you mean, otherwise you wouldn’t have brought them back."
Eric Stone sounded weary.
Chase Gallagher also knew that some things were not for them to interfere with.
So after Pascal Paige finished her treatment, he led everyone out.
No one noticed a small brown rat curled up in a dark corner of the hallway.
The unique lighting of the underground nightclub made it easy for it to hide.
Its body almost blended into the dimness.
Nina Jacobs was about to Control the rat to leave when she noticed someone else nearby.
That person must have been standing outside the door for a long time.
The rat couldn’t see the person, so Nina could only have it hide there for the time being.
Just then, Molly Ulrich’s voice came from the other side.
"Walsh? What are you doing here?"
She had just asked Walsh to deliver the first-aid kit and didn’t expect him to still be outside the door.
"I... Ms. Ulrich, the first-aid kit is here."
The man called Walsh handed the kit to Molly Ulrich, then quickly ran off.
Nina could only tell that this Walsh was probably a young man.
It seemed they were still arguing about something inside the room. Molly Ulrich pushed the door open and went in.
"The remaining supplies might not last more than three days."
Molly Ulrich’s words pressed pause on the argument inside the room.
"How can that be?
Didn’t we have plenty before?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Eric Stone asked.
"With so many people freeloading every day,
and only a few of you leading scavenging parties,
how long did you expect the supplies to last?"
Yara Garcia countered.
"Those few people Chase Gallagher brought today
did say they wouldn’t use our supplies,
but the Superpower User Alliance... they have over a hundred people, and they all need supplies."
Molly Ulrich replied.
"Of course. They can take us to City D,
so now that they’re here, how can we let them go hungry?
Right?"
Yara Garcia nudged Julian Dempsey, who immediately nodded in agreement.
"We did find some things today,
they’re in the car. Molly, have someone get them later."
Julian Dempsey said.
"But they took all the supplies from that place today.
Aren’t they planning to share with us?"
At this moment, Kurt Garrison spoke up.
It turned out they had found a small shop with supplies today.
But because zombies suddenly appeared, they could only focus on fending them off first.
Later, James Fletcher arrived.
After symbolically killing a few zombies with his people and chatting with them for a bit, he had his Space Superpower User collect all the store’s supplies.
At the time, he had said he would take them out after they got here.
After hearing this, Molly Ulrich shook her head.
"No one from their group has mentioned this to me."
"Vaughn, I think Eric Stone is right.
Those people seem a bit unreliable,"
Kurt Garrison said then.
Yara Garcia snorted.
"Of course you’d side with Eric Stone. Who doesn’t know you two are a couple?"
"Maybe Mr. Fletcher just forgot about it for a moment.
Worst case, Vaughn and I can go ask him for it."
Seeing Eric Stone’s grim expression, Molly Ulrich quickly chimed in,
"That’s right. It’s so late today,
you should focus on recovering. We can deal with the rest tomorrow.
Maybe they’ll remember by then..."
The rat outside the door twitched, then scurried back the way it came, returning to the room.
Inside the room, it was still just Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner.
Watching the Little Zombie Rat return, Wayne Warner bent down and picked it up.
She gently placed it in her pocket...
Nina Jacobs now began to calmly focus on her advancement.
’It seems the three leaders of the Lockwood Squad aren’t exactly a united front.’
’But it sounds like there won’t be any major problems for at least the next couple of days.’
Countless droplets of water continued to gather.
The small puddle in her consciousness had already grown much larger.
In her past life, she had never been able to see any of this.
She wanted more droplets, and her consciousness gradually became bathed in their gentle flow...
An unknown amount of time passed.
Nina Jacobs discovered the puddle had now collected into a pool the size of a pond.
But a small number of droplets still continued to gather and drip from above.
’How much time has passed?’
Nina Jacobs extended a sliver of her consciousness outward.
She guessed her advancement was about to end.
But she still couldn’t wake up.
She could sense that Wayne Warner was still in the room.
Just then, the door was hurriedly pushed open.
"Hasn’t Nina Jacobs woken up yet?"
It was Pascal Paige’s voice.
Wayne Warner looked at her, her face expressionless.
"Don’t worry, it’s probably nothing serious.
It’s just that a fight has broken out outside."
Pascal Paige knew Wayne Warner didn’t speak but could understand, so she explained the reason for the commotion.
"It’s James Fletcher. He found the group that double-crossed them last time,
the same group from the hospital entrance.
So they’ve started fighting upstairs."
’James Fletcher found Finn Hart?’
Recalling how Finn Hart had tried to make James Fletcher lure away the zombie baby at the hospital entrance, Nina Jacobs understood instantly.
’James Fletcher is probably looking for revenge.’
’However...’
Pascal Paige checked on Nina Jacobs’s condition, saw that her breathing was steady, and left the room again.
「On the street.」
Two groups were in a standoff.
This included Eric Stone and his team, who were guarding the entrance.
Julian Dempsey wanted to mediate, but he found that neither side was willing to back down.
And James Fletcher was being particularly nasty.
"...The people from the Lockwood Squad are all planning to leave with us,
which means this place is now the Superpower User Alliance’s territory.
You want to come in?
You’ll have to ask me first."
James Fletcher completely ignored the ugly look on Julian Dempsey’s face.
"Oh?
Then they must not know what your Superpower User Alliance really does, right?"
Finn Hart said with a cold laugh.
"You Lockwood Family folks, if your people really go with him,
I’m afraid they’ll never be able to leave."
"What nonsense are you spouting!
Don’t believe him, Vaughn! He’s just trying to sow discord,"
James Fletcher snapped.
"Enough with the bullshit. If you want a fight, let’s fight.
Who’s afraid of who?"
Jordan Vaughn seemed eager for a fight.
Inside the entrance not far away, Holden Shaw poked Chase Gallagher, who had been hiding in the shadows, and asked,
"Your boss is here. Aren’t you going to go out and see him?"
"If he knew you were still alive,
his jaw would probably hit the floor."
Holden Shaw really admired Chase Gallagher’s ability to stay so calm.
If it were him, he would have paraded around out there a couple of times at the very least.
But Chase Gallagher didn’t respond, instead turning and walking into the underground entrance...
"If you ask me, that Fletcher guy is no good either.
I heard from Molly that they’ve been refusing to hand over that batch of supplies to the Lockwood Squad,"
Yvonne Willow said indignantly while watching the drama unfold.
Three days had passed since Nina Jacobs fell into her deep sleep, and the Lockwood Squad’s supplies were already stretched thin.
