After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret-Chapter 90: She Made the Right Bet

"Alright."

Lily Lewis agreed. She was worried, but she kept her composure.

"Since there’s no danger, let’s go together too."

Nina Jacobs said to Wayne Warner, though her words were also meant for Cole Dempsey.

"Fine. It’s safer if we all go together. Besides, your brother ate so much this morning. He should move around and digest a little."

Cole Dempsey’s words were filled with dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Wayne Warner’s expression didn’t change, Cole Dempsey’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

This Wayne Warner had single-handedly eaten the entire breakfast meant for all the managers.

When they finished their work and went to the small cafeteria, only scraps were left...

"Dempsey is right. Let my brother push her."

Nina Jacobs said.

She was already prepared to run at a moment’s notice.

’Only she knew what was down there.’

She couldn’t be more familiar with the situation here.

All the zombie corpses lying around were from her and Wayne Warner’s work over the past two days.

There was also a deep pit in the underground parking garage.

She had dug it to practice making traps with her Earth Element Superpower.

’The pit should be full of zombies.’

As for the man’s voice on the walkie-talkie, she had a premonition that something was definitely wrong.

’But as long as I can get out of the car, I’ll have a chance to escape.’

"He really only listens to you."

Cole Dempsey glanced at the two siblings, then also got up and exited the car.

Scott Stone and his men, meanwhile, formed a protective circle around Cole Dempsey.

Nina Jacobs gave Lily Lewis a look.

At the same time, she activated her "Five Senses Enhancement."

But in the next second, her expression changed drastically.

Watching the group walk down the slope, Nina Jacobs gradually slowed her pace, falling to the very back.

Lily Lewis seemed to sense Nina Jacobs’s tension.

She heard Nina Jacobs shout a single word in her ear: "Run!"

Then, a strong grip pulled her hand, and after stumbling for two steps, she broke into a run, following that force.

Cole Dempsey turned his head and saw the three of them sprinting away, and he immediately realized something was wrong.

His first reaction was that the Warner siblings had teamed up with Lily Lewis to trick him.

However, as terrified screams erupted from below, he knew it wasn’t that simple.

"Run! Run for your lives!

It’s fucking zombies! They’re everywhere!"

Scott Stone yelled.

With almost no hesitation, Cole Dempsey spun around and ran toward the car parked across the road.

However, Summer Warner had already gotten into that car with Wayne Warner and Lily Lewis.

Watching the three of them speed away in a cloud of dust, Cole Dempsey felt a fire of rage ignite within him.

"AHHH!!"

Horrified screams and the sound of gunfire came from behind.

A sharp knife in Nina Jacobs’s hand was pressed against the driver Ryan Lewis’s neck.

"If you don’t want to die, drive! Now!"

"What about... what about Dempsey and Stone?"

Ryan Lewis still hadn’t processed what was happening.

"I don’t know, but there are thousands of zombies behind us."

Nina Jacobs said.

"Th-thousands?"

Ryan Lewis’s eyes went wide, and he instantly slammed the gas pedal to the floor.

"Turn right at the small road ahead. I don’t care what you see, just plow through it!"

Nina Jacobs commanded.

"O-okay, AHHH!!"

The moment Ryan Lewis made the turn, he saw a horde of zombies swarming toward them.

He knew he was finished if he stopped.

So he threw caution to the wind and gunned the engine, charging straight through.

He even saw a mutated zombie chasing right behind them.

It made him not dare to stop.

After an unknown amount of time, Nina Jacobs finally let out a sigh of relief.

The system map showed that this small road was no longer severely congested.

"Are we safe now?"

Lily Lewis’s heart was still pounding.

At the same time, the feeling was incredibly exhilarating.

Looking at Summer Warner standing in front of her.

She knew she had made the right bet this time.

"Not yet."

Nina Jacobs had just clearly seen in the rearview mirror that Cole Dempsey had gotten into the car behind them and was in pursuit.

They had just vanished after turning onto this small road.

If it were just Dempsey and his few men, she wouldn’t be afraid at all.

What worried her were the zombies that Dempsey was leading behind him.

So they couldn’t turn back now; they could only move forward.

"You didn’t... you didn’t just sell out Dempsey, did you?"

The driver, Ryan Lewis, was only just now realizing it.

"Actually, it would be better if I just killed you and drove myself."

Nina Jacobs said.

"No, no, no! I’ll drive! I’ll go wherever you tell me to go."

Ryan Lewis pleaded hastily.

’There are three of them, and they’re all Superpower Users.’

’I’m no match for them.’

"Good that you know. Don’t think you can pull any tricks just because you think I’m soft-hearted."

Nina Jacobs said sharply.

"Yes, yes, of course."

Ryan Lewis didn’t dare say another word.

"I’m finally out! I’m finally out! Hahaha!"

Lily Lewis looked at the "kind-hearted" Summer Warner.

She found her more and more agreeable.

"Didn’t you... Weren’t your legs injured?"

Ryan Lewis had just seen Lily Lewis run faster than anyone.

But just a moment ago when they got out, she had needed a wheelchair.

"If I didn’t put on an act, how would your dear Dempsey have ever let me out?"

Lily Lewis replied.

In truth, her legs had mostly healed when her Superpower awakened.

But she didn’t say that out loud.

’If I told them, my legs would be broken a second time.’

"It’s just a shame I couldn’t make him drink my gut-wrenching talisman water."

Lily Lewis said, feeling quite resentful.

"I’d rather you didn’t get the chance."

Nina Jacobs said.

"What do you mean?"

Lily Lewis asked, confused.

"They’re catching up."

Nina Jacobs had already heard the commotion behind them using her "Five Senses Enhancement."

’We cleared the way for them, which let Dempsey and his men have it easy.’

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Lily Lewis could see the car tailing them.

"Don’t worry. My divination says we will definitely beat them."

Lily Lewis said, making a show of pinching her fingers together to calculate.

"Thanks for trying to comfort me."

It wasn’t that Nina Jacobs didn’t believe her.

It was because in her past life, Sherry Renner herself had told her that whenever she started pinching her fingers and chanting, it meant she was starting her charlatan act to fool people.

"..."

Lily Lewis didn’t expect Summer Warner to be so distrustful, and could only offer an awkward smile.

"Why don’t you beg Dempsey for mercy? You’re Superpower Users, he won’t do anything too bad to you."

Ryan Lewis had also seen the car catching up behind them.

"No need. Besides, right now, he definitely just wants to kill us."

Nina Jacobs had never trusted Cole Dempsey from the very beginning.

Even when he was making all those extravagant promises.

After all, he was the man who had tricked everyone in the entire park.

"This road... This is the way back to the park, isn’t it?"

Lily Lewis keenly noticed that the route Summer Warner was directing them on was actually looping back toward Breslin Park.

"Yes. This is the only way with fewer zombies."

Nina Jacobs wasn’t trying to return to the Superpower User Alliance; she was looking for a suitable place to stop.

Cole Dempsey’s car was being followed by a large number of zombies.

If they were unlucky enough to be blocked by zombies ahead, they would be trapped between two hordes.

"Stop the car."

Nina Jacobs said, as the car drove into an open area.

’Letting them tail us like this isn’t a solution.’

Next to this open space was a hill. If there were too many zombies to handle, they could use the hill to buy themselves some time to escape.

Dempsey and his men probably didn’t know they had attracted a huge number of zombies.

Seeing Nina’s group stop, they immediately stopped as well.

"Summer Warner, you dare to team up with her to trick us?"

Seeing Summer Warner and Lily Lewis standing together, Cole Dempsey instantly felt like he’d been played for a fool.

"The feeling’s mutual. If I had really led you to the supplies, I’m afraid your next step would have been to hand me over to Scott Stone, right?"

Nina Jacobs sneered.

She noticed that Scott Stone hadn’t followed them.

’That means he’s already dead.’
