After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: The Boldest Decision

"I...

I’ll go see the leader off."

Walsh said, his head lowered.

Eric Stone was a little disappointed.

Even now, some people were still unwilling to leave with them.

’Is it really that hard for them to take this step?’

"There’s nothing we can do."

"We’re too cowardly."

"It’s safest to just hide here, don’t you think?"

A middle-aged man said.

"Yeah, there are two doors here."

"If we just stay quiet, we might even be able to wait for you all to come back, Leader."

"Let’s go. If we don’t leave now, this place really won’t hold for much longer,"

Yara Garcia said, pointing to the entrance not far away.

The sound of zombies ramming the gate could already be heard from there.

And the thud of Superpowers hitting the door.

’These people have been coddled and cared for by us all this time. How could they possibly dare to follow us out to kill zombies?’

"Let’s go,"

Julian Dempsey said as well.

"Okay."

Eric Stone no longer hesitated and ran toward the other exit.

Zombies were desperately pounding on the iron fences at both ends of the alley.

Finn Hart, however, spotted Chase Gallagher guarding the entrance at the sliding window.

"Chase Gallagher?"

"Is that really you?"

Jane Dixon shouted excitedly.

Chase Gallagher, however, just nodded and continued helping Holden Shaw guide the people behind them inside.

It was just a window, and they had to climb through it to get in.

With the two of them helping, people got inside quickly.

However, the iron fence on one side was spotted by a Superpower-using zombie and was quickly destroyed.

"Hurry! Faster!"

Holden Shaw yelled in a low voice to the people behind.

There were still many barricades and abandoned cars in the alley to hold them back.

But it was hard to say how long they would last.

"Help me get Yara up first."

Only after watching Yara Garcia climb inside the window did Julian Dempsey turn back with some relief to pull Eric Stone and the others up.

Eric Stone was agile.

But just then, no one noticed that a mutated Gold Element zombie had climbed onto the roof of a car.

Just as a Gold Spike shot toward Eric Stone,

a figure unhesitatingly threw himself in front of her.

"Walsh?!"

Eric Stone was shocked.

"Damn it, the zombies are here! You guys get inside first!"

Julian Dempsey was also a Gold Element Superpower User.

He quickly killed the Gold Element zombie.

But more and more zombies had already noticed their location.

Fortunately, before the zombies could swarm in, the rest of the group made it safely through the window.

After the small, inconspicuous sliding window was closed, Kurt Garrison gathered a few Gold and Earth Element Superpower Users to seal it up tight.

"Miss Paige, please, you have to help him."

"He was injured saving me."

Eric Stone pleaded with Pascal Paige.

Although Pascal Paige was already doing her best to heal him, Walsh’s condition looked terrible.

The long Gold Spike had pierced straight through his thin back.

"Leader, don’t... don’t be angry..."

Walsh grabbed Eric Stone’s hand.

"The others... didn’t come along..."

"Actually... they were just afraid of dragging you down..."

"Because you... you always save them."

"Uncle Stone and the others already talked it over."

"They told me to tell you,"

"for everything... thank you."

Walsh’s words made tears stream down Eric Stone’s face instantly.

"But... but I couldn’t protect you all."

"I... I even abandoned them."

Eric Stone should have realized it sooner.

Miss Lawson and Uncle Stone were mostly timid people.

’How could they not want to escape with us?’

Staying behind.

That was their bravest decision.

"Today, I... I was able to help you, Leader."

"I’m so happy."

"This is the first time... I’ve ever been of help to you."

"You all have to... live on..."

The hand gripping Eric Stone’s lost all its strength.

Pascal Paige apologized while crying,

"I’m sorry, I can’t heal him."

"SOB, SOB, I’m so sorry..."

She hated herself for being too weak, unable to even stop the bleeding from Walsh’s wound.
