After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Unexpected Trickery

At a street intersection that wasn’t particularly wide.

Five or six people were hiding behind an overturned school bus.

One of them, a man in a black tank top, looked at the people on the other side and made a hand gesture, counting down to an attack.

Sherry Renner saw the signal and nodded. "It’s time."

"That’s a lot of zombies. Chase Gallagher and Holden Shaw aren’t back yet. Shouldn’t we wait a little longer?"

Leo Hale asked from behind her.

They had Wayne Warner, but it was just as the shelter’s warning message had stated.

The number of zombies around the shelter had been steadily increasing.

Among the zombies now converging on them, there were also many mutated types.

And this was *after* Chase Gallagher and Holden Shaw had lured a large horde of zombies away.

Meanwhile, the people hiding behind the school bus across from them were an unfamiliar Superpower Squad.

They had just run into them while fighting zombies.

Leo didn’t trust them completely.

"What if we wait too long and lose our chance to fight back?

I just did a reading. Zombies might be appearing behind us as well,"

Sherry said.

"Behind us? Then aren’t we about to be surrounded?"

Jessica Vance was rattled.

They had already been fighting and taking cover for several hours.

Her Superpower Energy was running low.

If they got surrounded by zombies, their odds of survival were slim.

"That’s why we have to deal with the zombies in front of us first."

Sherry wasn’t sure of their chances either.

But those six people across from them were also Superpower Users. If they all attacked at the same time, it might just work.

However, when the countdown reached its final number and Sherry charged out with her team...

...the other group showed no intention of joining them.

"Holy shit, they ran!"

Leo quickly spotted the man in the tank top leading his people in the opposite direction.

They had tricked them!

"They’re trying to leave us here to hold off the zombies,

to buy themselves time to escape!"

Wendy Marshall said.

As expected, in this post-apocalyptic world, you couldn’t trust anyone but your own team.

"Well, I’d like to see if they can actually get away."

Sherry spat on the ground.

Her Compass showed that there was no safe route behind them; otherwise, she would’ve taken Leo and the others and run long ago.

"Let them run. I refuse to believe this handful of zombies can do anything to us."

Leo immediately used his Control to send an axe from the ground smashing into the zombie at the very front!

"Brutal,"

Sherry commented with a glance.

It was a zombie in a plaid shirt. The axe had sheared off half of its face, and its eyeball, squeezed from the socket, dangled by a thread of flesh...

A dagger gleaming with a cold light shot through its head, and the zombie finally collapsed.

"The Flowing Light Dagger still works best."

The Flowing Light Dagger returned, its twin blades hovering in midair on his left and right, ready to strike at any moment.

"But if we’re talking brutal, you’ve got to hand it to Wayne Warner."

As Leo spoke, Wayne had already taken out three to five zombies, felling one with every punch.

SWOOSH!

An Ice Cone shot from her palm, embedding itself directly in a zombie’s eye socket.

The back of its head exploded in a shower of black blood as it convulsed and fell into the horde behind it.

"That’s four,"

Sherry counted.

’The Ice Element Superpower really is effective.’

’But why do the zombies at this intersection just keep coming?’

Just as Leo was about to tell everyone to stay calm, he saw a few figures running back from behind them.

"Help! Help us!

There are zombies back there, too!"

the man in the tank top yelled, his face a mask of despair.

By the time they ran back, they were already missing a person.

"Serves them right!"

Sherry felt no sympathy whatsoever.

"Wendy, let’s do it again!"

Hearing Sherry, Wendy nodded.

A large pool of water surged across the ground, expanding rapidly.

Sherry then used her Ice Element Superpower to rapidly freeze the water’s surface. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Many of the zombies either slipped on the frozen ground or had their feet frozen solid.

"Jessica, now!"
