"Yeah, none of them are any good."
Holden Shaw wanted to stay and watch the show, as the two sides had already started fighting.
"You guys head back first."
Just then, Kurt Garrison walked over.
Kurt Garrison recognized Holden Shaw and his group.
He had a decent impression of them.
For the past three days, the people Chase Gallagher had brought over had been nothing but quiet guests.
They had even refused to accept any supplies from the Lockwood Squad.
They were sensible young people.
It was just that their friend still hadn’t woken up.
"Got it. What’s wrong, Garrison?"
Holden Shaw couldn’t help but ask.
He noticed that Kurt Garrison and Eric Stone were leading all the onlookers back to the basement.
"There’s been bloodshed upstairs. It’s probably not safe anymore."
Eric Stone replied.
The Lockwood Squad had been so safe precisely because they were all hiding underground.
Their presence was very well concealed.
That’s why few zombies ever lingered here.
But now that James Fletcher’s gang was fighting people, they were all worried about their safety going forward.
After all, there were so many living people down here.
"I’ll tell them to go fight somewhere else."
Julian Dempsey said.
But Eric Stone grabbed him.
"Don’t go. Those people won’t listen to you."
"If I had known, I never would have brought that group here."
Julian Dempsey couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.
After spending the last three days with him, he’d discovered that James Fletcher was not only a man who constantly went back on his word, but he was also extremely greedy.
Besides, Chase Gallagher had also warned them.
The Superpower User Alliance didn’t seem like a good place.
The squad’s supplies were almost gone now.
But James Fletcher still refused to bring out the supplies from that store.
He had originally planned to take some people and demand them from him.
But unexpectedly, another group had shown up at their door.
They wanted to team up with them to collect supplies from other locations in City J.
And James Fletcher’s men happened to run into them.
Which led to the current scene.
"Everyone fall back! Retreat to a safe location!"
Eric Stone commanded.
RUMBLE...
A series of loud noises came from above ground.
Many people started to worry.
"They’re actually using weapons."
Kurt Garrison said with a frown.
The explosions from the weapons were too loud. They could easily attract the attention of nearby zombies, or even ones farther away.
"What are we going to do? Didn’t they say the number of zombies around here has been increasing lately?"
Molly Ulrich had heard from people who went outside that many zombies from the city center were slowly moving toward the outskirts.
This was one of the reasons they were considering going to the shelter in City D.
"Tell everyone to be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice."
Eric Stone said, glancing at the time.
’Today might be the day we’re forced to leave this place.’
「Above ground.」
Finn Hart was also refusing to back down.
"The medicine storage under the hospital... you’re the ones who cleaned it out, aren’t you?"
After they left the hospital entrance that day, the weapons and ammunition shipment from City A had arrived.
So, they returned to the private hospital the next day.
Fortunately, the infant zombie didn’t reappear.
But after they finally managed to kill all the zombies in the hospital, they discovered that the underground medical warehouse had been completely emptied of supplies.
The matter had infuriated him so much that he hadn’t slept for two days and two nights.
The only suspects who could have taken the medical supplies were James Fletcher and his group.
"What did you say? The medical warehouse was cleaned out?"
James Fletcher was using a car for cover, so Finn Hart couldn’t see his shocked expression.
"James Fletcher, you’re quite the actor. You even fooled me. I actually thought you were retreating first. Turns out you were plotting against us all along."
’Leaving us to keep fighting that infant zombie, then waiting until we couldn’t hold on any longer to swoop in and take everything.’
Even he had been fooled!
"What the fuck are you talking about? We never went back to that damn place."
’No wonder Finn Hart and his men weren’t the least bit hesitant when they saw us.’
