Liam Grant was destined for great things.
Not just anyone could have those dreams that predicted the future.
’My son must be helped by a deity sent by Guanyin. That’s why he has special abilities that ordinary people don’t.’
’As for what’s happening now, it must be a trial from the heavens for my son.’
’After all, even Tripitaka had to endure eighty-one trials...’
’These people are just too foolish right now. There will definitely come a day when they regret this.’
"Regret?"
Chester Pearson was amused by Susan Warner’s words.
But by now, more and more people were gathering to watch, so he waved for the guards to take them away.
"This isn’t the first time he’s used someone as a shield against zombies, is it?"
Leo Hale asked, opening the door after the crowd had gradually dispersed.
"Yeah. Two people died before, it just wasn’t reported.
But it’s not like everyone’s blind. All you have to do is look into it and you’ll know."
Chester Pearson replied.
"He doesn’t have a military background, so his moral standards are bound to be lower.
If you ask me, he never should have been allowed to join the team."
Vera Coleman had taken a few days off because her daughter had returned.
She warmly invited Chester Pearson inside.
After coming in, Chester Pearson saw that Wayne Warner was still eating, and Nina Jacobs was sitting beside him, seemingly completely unaffected by the events outside.
"Actually, this was the old man’s idea today.
He was always holding on to the fact that Liam Grant provided Ian Chandler’s whereabouts, so he gave them some consideration.
He thought Liam was a talented individual, so he approved Dawn Donovan’s application."
"Have you seen Uncle Hale?"
Nina Jacobs suddenly asked.
"He’s probably with Ian Chandler. Or maybe he went to another meeting."
Chester Pearson eyed the white sugar rice cakes in Wayne Warner’s hands, but Wayne was clearly on guard, clamping his large hands over the plate.
Leo Hale patted Chester Pearson sympathetically.
"Don’t even think about snatching his food. He wouldn’t give you any even if the plate broke."
"Honestly, you’re always trying to take Wayne Warner’s things.
There’s more in the cabinet. I’ll bring some over for you."
Vera Coleman didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. They never had a shortage of food at home.
Besides what Nina Jacobs brought back each time, Ian Chandler would also frequently take things out of his space to share with them.
In her view, although Wayne Warner had a huge appetite, it didn’t seem to put any strain on them.
What Vera Coleman didn’t know was that, when no one was looking, Nina Jacobs would replenish most of whatever Wayne Warner ate.
From Chester Pearson, Nina Jacobs also learned that since the last incident at the booby-trapped mall,
the rescue team had encountered several more places that had been trapped by people.
However, he suspected those traps were not the work of the Superpower User Alliance.
Because that organization had no shortage of Space Superpower Users.
This also matched the intelligence Shirley Lucas had gathered.
"The number of injured has increased recently. My leg was given priority treatment, otherwise I’d still be in a wheelchair."
Chester Pearson said with a wry smile.
The shelter’s infirmary currently had over 30 Healing Element Superpower Users, but at this stage, their healing abilities were limited to minor injuries.
An injury like his, deep enough to expose the bone and even damage it, still required medicine and treatment from a traditional doctor.
Healers could only provide support as best they could.
"In any case, you need to be careful, and that includes people on the inside."
Nina Jacobs suddenly remembered the men in leather jackets she had encountered outside the community supermarket.
They had arrogantly boasted that they would take all the shelter’s supplies for themselves.
’If what he said is true, then we can’t rule out the possibility of someone inside the shelter guiding them.’
"No wonder some people say I’m not fit to lead a team."
Chester Pearson gave another wry smile after hearing this.
’If someone like that really exists, I’d be the first to step up and kill them.’
"I think you’re quite suitable, actually."
Nina Jacobs said as she organized her backpack.
The loiterers outside had all dispersed. It was time for her to head out.
"Where are you off to now?" Vera Coleman asked.
’Can this girl not sit still for a single day?’
"Hehe, I made plans with Nina Jacobs.
I asked her to take me out for a bit. But we promise,
we’ll be back within three hours."
Leo Hale answered for Nina Jacobs.
