After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Defending Together

One person looked utterly mortified,

while the other broke into a wide grin, showing off a mouthful of pearly whites.

"You hear that?

Now you know who I am, huh?"

Holden Shaw scoffed.

"Chase Gallagher, what is the meaning of this?

Aren’t you coming back to City A with us?

And to think I was worried about you all this time."

Jane Dixon asked, her brow furrowed.

’What’s going on? How could Chase have joined Nina Jacobs’s side?’

"Worried about him?

If you were so worried, how could you just leave him behind all alone?

If you were that worried, you should have jumped out of the car to stay with him,

you phony."

Holden Shaw felt even more emboldened now.

"So you were the ones nearby that day?"

Finn Hart understood now.

’Otherwise, how would these people know so clearly what happened in front of the hospital?’

"We had no choice that day! Chase, you’re a Speed Element Superpower User,

so we knew you could find a way to escape. That’s why we...

You led that zombie away, didn’t you?"

Jane Dixon scrambled to explain.

Chase Gallagher just shook his head:

"That zombie is already dead."

"Did you kill it?"

Phoebe Vance asked immediately.

’To deal with a Speed Element zombie, you’d probably need a Speed Element Superpower User.’

"Nina Jacobs killed it."

Chase Gallagher looked over at the still-sleeping Nina Jacobs.

"She killed that zombie?"

Jane Dixon couldn’t possibly imagine how Nina Jacobs, a Fire Element Superpower User, had managed it.

"Folks, you should be done with your questions by now, right?

Instead of standing around asking about this and that,

why don’t you go deal with the zombies you led here?"

Seeing the confrontation, Eric Stone, Kurt Garrison, and a few others walked over.

Pascal Paige was still doing everything he could to stop Walsh’s bleeding, never expecting that Chase Gallagher and the others would get tangled up with this group again.

As soon as Eric Stone spoke, everyone present turned to look.

"See that?

Those are the menaces from City A.

They don’t give a damn if anyone else lives or dies."

"For people like them, death would be getting off easy!"

"They’re the ones who got Walsh and the others hurt like this."

"Hey! You just promised

that you’d do your best to kill zombies after we let you in.

How can you still have the nerve to just stand here?"

"..."

There were still two or three hundred people present, and every one of them was staring at the group with reproachful eyes.

Even James Fletcher was watching the spectacle from a distance, enjoying the show.

Finn Hart had never been looked down on like this before.

"We’ve already scouted this building.

As it stands, these are the only places where we can fight the zombies."

Kurt Garrison led the crowd toward a platform.

Before the apocalypse, this building above the nightclub had been a commercial street.

Each floor had several platforms that jutted out from the building’s exterior.

Kurt Garrison suggested that the remaining survivors use these platforms to fend off the zombies.

"Are you kidding me?

If we stand out there, won’t we become a target for all the zombies?"

Phoebe Vance said, looking at the balcony-sized platform.

Although it was blocked off by stainless steel railings, it was still incredibly dangerous.

After all, the ground below them was swarming with zombies.

"Killing zombies is supposed to be dangerous.

What, did you expect to do it safely?"

someone from the crowd said with a hostile tone.

"Mr. Garrison, will they be participating as well?"

Finn Hart signaled for Phoebe Vance to stop talking and pointed toward James Fletcher and his group in the distance.

"Of course.

If they don’t contribute at a time like this, are they planning to drag everyone down with them to die?"

Kurt Garrison’s words carried a heavy, threatening weight.

Both Finn Hart and James Fletcher understood the implication.
