After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: No Way Out

"Exactly! It was an emergency that day,"

"You confiscated our supplies and still haven’t returned them!"

A young team member stepped forward and accused them.

James Fletcher stopped his men and explained,

"I’d completely forgotten about that.

My sincerest apologies. But the zombies are here now,

and I think it’s more important we all focus on escaping with our lives."

"James Fletcher, if you don’t leave those supplies behind today,

don’t even think about leaving this place.

If we die, we’re all dying together!"

Julian Dempsey was furious, but also filled with deep regret.

He was the one who had insisted on bringing his people here.

He never thought it would bring disaster upon everyone.

Meanwhile, Holden Shaw, Pascal Paige, and the others had gathered in Nina Jacobs’s room.

"Eric Stone is right.

This is the best time to get out,"

said Chase Gallagher.

If all the zombies got in, staying here would be a death sentence.

"Then what are we waiting for?

Let’s grab Nina Jacobs and go,"

Pascal Paige said, knowing this was no time to hesitate.

Yvonne Willow was already at the side, starting to pack up the things in the room.

"Wayne Warner, you carry Nina Jacobs.

We’ll clear a path, alright?"

After Holden Shaw spoke, Wayne Warner nodded.

He gently lifted Nina Jacobs into his arms, determined to protect her from any harm.

Chase Gallagher nodded, planning to charge out with Holden Shaw and the others.

"I was just looking for you all.

Captain Stone wants me to lead you out through another exit,"

Molly Ulrich said, arriving just at that moment.

"Is there a way for us to break out from up there?"

Pascal Paige asked.

Their bus was still parked on the side of the road.

"I’m not sure,

but every second we save getting out of here increases our chance of survival."

Molly Ulrich said with a bitter smile, her face pale.

They had all anticipated this day would come, but she never imagined it would arrive so soon.

"If you really can’t get out,

you can hide in the building upstairs for now.

At least..."

’At least you’ll live a few minutes longer.’

"You can come with us."

The other exit was the nightclub’s back door.

There were no zombies on the other side of the door, but reaching the street level above required climbing several flights of metal stairs.

But Molly Ulrich shook her head.

"I have to get the others. You go on ahead.

And be careful."

With that, she turned and hurried back without a second glance.

Watching Molly Ulrich’s retreating figure, worry was etched on all their faces.

"Are they...

really going to be okay?"

Jessica Vance asked.

"I don’t think anyone can guarantee anything right now,"

said Chase Gallagher, already hearing the roars of zombies nearby.

Holden Shaw used his Speed Element Superpower to race up the stairs first.

The stairs led up to an alley.

Both ends of the alley were blocked off with abandoned vehicles and barbed wire.

To Holden Shaw’s shock, both ends of the alley were already swarming with zombies!

"I think... we’re trapped..."

Holden Shaw stammered, staring at the zombies in his line of sight.

He’d thought they could just kill a few and break through.

But now, charging out would be suicidal.

"Do what Molly said. Get into the building upstairs,"

Chase Gallagher reacted instantly.

A few zombies behind the wire fence had already spotted them.

He found a sliding window and nimbly climbed inside.

"This is actually Lockwood Squad’s territory up here.

It’s vacant and serves as a shelter for them, so it should be clear of zombies."

Chase Gallagher explained after helping everyone inside one by one.

Pascal Paige rushed to a window on the second floor and looked out.

The sight made her despair.

Zombies were everywhere.

"Take her to the top floor. It should be the safest place,"

Holden Shaw said to Wayne Warner.

If the zombies outside were going to break in sooner or later, the others could at least hold them off on the lower floors for a while.
