After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Trying My Luck

Chase Gallagher frowned upon hearing Zoe Morgan’s demand.

They all looked like students, so it was understandable that they couldn’t drive.

’Do I really have to find them a driver?’

"Just let her choose for herself."

At that, Nina Jacobs spoke to Sheila Rhodes.

"My name is Nina Jacobs,

are you willing to come back to City D with us?"

It was their first time meeting, and they had only exchanged a few words.

Nina Jacobs was actually a little worried that Sheila Rhodes wouldn’t go with them.

After all, she never talked back when yelled at, nor did she fight back when hit.

She seemed far too submissive.

"Sheila Rhodes, you idiot,

they’re definitely just using you as cannon fodder.

Is there even anything to think about?

Haven’t you been doing just fine with us all this time?"

Zoe Morgan said quickly.

"That’s right, Sheila. Come back.

We promise we won’t be so hard on you anymore."

The boys standing by her side also tried to persuade her.

Now they were starting to get genuinely panicked.

Sheila Rhodes was the only one in their group who knew how to drive.

Eric Stone, Kurt Garrison, and the others also noticed the situation.

However, they wisely chose not to get involved in Nina Jacobs’s affairs.

Seeing that no one was willing to step in and help them, Zoe Morgan decided to go forward and grab Sheila Rhodes herself.

But Sheila Rhodes dodged out of the way.

"I’ll go with you.

I’ll do whatever you ask."

Without a moment’s hesitation, Sheila Rhodes grabbed the hem of Nina Jacobs’s shirt.

"Alright. We’ll take you back to the shelter in City D."

Nina Jacobs smiled.

Sheila Rhodes nodded.

"I’d like to say a few words to my classmates."

After getting Nina Jacobs’s approval, Sheila Rhodes walked over to the others.

"Sheila Rhodes, you’d better think this through.

If these people abandon you and you try to come back,

we won’t take you back!"

Zoe Morgan declared.

"I’m sorry, Classmate Morgan." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Sheila Rhodes stepped forward and bowed to them.

"Y-You, what do you mean by this?"

Zoe Morgan couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about Sheila Rhodes.

"I don’t have a Superpower.

Without you, I wouldn’t have survived this long.

Thank you for getting me this far."

Sheila Rhodes straightened up.

"But I won’t be going any further with you."

From the very beginning, she had only one goal: survival.

Only by surviving could she be reunited with her family.

"You were using me?"

Zoe Morgan suddenly realized.

"Classmate Morgan, you were so good to me,

abandoning so many others, but never me."

Sheila Rhodes said with a smile, the red imprint of a hand still on her cheek.

"What are you trying to say?"

Zoe Morgan asked, her eyes wide.

"It’s nothing. Don’t overthink it.

Some things are better left unknown."

With that, Sheila Rhodes turned and walked away.

She left the others standing there, stunned.

"What about them...?"

Chase Gallagher was still unsure what to do with Zoe Morgan and her friends.

"We don’t need to worry about them,"

Nina Jacobs said. If they managed to survive in City J, they must have some skills of their own.

Besides, she wasn’t interested in whether they lived or died.

’But for an ordinary person like Sheila Rhodes to have survived this long... being obedient and submissive alone definitely wouldn’t have been enough.’

’She’s a smart one.’

[Host’s action has been detected to save one human in two days. Triggering "Selfless Savior" title. Reward: one bottle of "Healing Potion".]

Hearing the system’s notification, Nina Jacobs understood.

In her past life, Sheila Rhodes must have died two days from now.

But in this life, she had been saved by her.

"Got it."

Chase Gallagher glanced over at Zoe Morgan and the others.

Perhaps because he had just made a move against them, they no longer dared to approach.
