"Well..."
"I’ll tell you about it later."
In truth, Sherry Renner had no idea how to answer Adrian Shaw.
She had spoken with Adrian Shaw a few times before while helping to find supplies.
She clearly remembered him suspecting she was a charlatan.
’So why is he asking this sort of question today?’
’Is he possessed or something?’
Nina Jacobs kept her expression neutral, but Adrian Shaw’s words had forced her to pay attention.
’Foretelling the future?’
’Could it be that Adrian Shaw also knows about people being reborn?’
「Two hours later.」
Finally, only a few zombies were still trickling in.
Leo Hale and the others had completely exhausted their Superpowers.
However, Adrian Shaw noticed that Nina Jacobs seemed completely unfazed.
"What are you doing? That’s our stuff!"
Yvonne Willow stood in front of them, blocking their way in anger.
"We killed zombies just now, too."
"The shelter’s rules state that when two groups of Superpower Users kill zombies together,"
"the resulting Crystal Cores must be split fifty-fifty."
After speaking, the man in the tank top ordered his companions to continue digging out Crystal Cores.
He wasn’t worried in the slightest.
The rescue team was right there, after all.
"You have the nerve to say that? If our people hadn’t arrived in time,"
"you would’ve gotten us all killed!"
Leo Hale couldn’t believe this guy had the gall to say and do such a thing.
"We were just killing zombies from behind. Is that not allowed?"
One of the tank-topped man’s female teammates argued as she picked up Crystal Cores.
Just then, a Fireball slammed into the ground at their feet with a BANG.
The scattering sparks made them all cry out in pain.
"What are you doing?!"
The woman saw that a large hole had been burned through her sneaker.
"Drop the Crystal Cores. Get lost."
Nina Jacobs’s expression was grim.
"You’d better take a good look! The rescue team’s officers are here."
"If you try to hoard the Crystal Cores, they’ll arrest you!"
The man in the tank top cursed under his breath, then actually started playing the victim.
"If you don’t want to die, get lost now."
It wasn’t that Nina Jacobs cared about a few Crystal Cores.
She was just furious after hearing what Leo Hale had said.
"Officer, Officer, you be the judge!"
"We really were killing zombies just now, and we even lost one of our own."
The man in the tank top whined as if he had suffered a great injustice.
The person he was appealing to was Adrian Shaw. Besides him, his other teammates also chimed in.
Nina Jacobs frowned.
The shelter’s rule was ostensibly meant to de-escalate conflict, but it didn’t apply to every situation.
’These people barely killed any zombies.’
’Yet they want to take half the Crystal Cores.’
She remembered that in her past life, Adrian Shaw was always going on about the base’s regulations.
Now, however, she heard Adrian Shaw say to the group:
"These Crystal Cores have nothing to do with you."
"Besides, if it weren’t for them, would you even be alive right now?"
"Just go."
The man in the tank top and his group were stunned.
"Didn’t you hear me?"
"Or do I need to repeat myself?"
Seeing that they didn’t budge, Adrian Shaw’s face darkened.
"We heard you, we heard you!"
"We’re leaving right now..."
Seeing that they couldn’t gain any advantage and were being stared down by so many people, the group scrambled to their feet and fled.
"It’s a good thing we didn’t have to beat them up. The nerve of those people, so shameless."
Leo Hale scoffed.
"Thanks,"
Nina Jacobs said, then went with Wayne Warner to dig out the Crystal Cores.
She hadn’t expected Adrian Shaw to speak up for them just now.
’It’s probably because he wanted to ask Sherry Renner for help with something.’
"...Are you possessed or something? I remember you used to be so serious."
Sherry Renner had been invited into a vehicle by Adrian Shaw.
She was also curious about what had happened to him.
