After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Suspicion and Shock

Adrian Shaw found that he had been especially unlucky these past few days.

He was in charge of supervising the completion of the new base.

Because of this, he had to travel back and forth between the shelter and the new base every day.

But the trips were fraught with incidents.

It was either brake failure or a tire blowout.

While walking outside the new base’s walls, he was almost hit by bricks that fell for no apparent reason.

On his way back, he would be ambushed by mutated zombies.

And at this moment, he was standing on the wall, several meters high, inspecting the progress. Just as he straightened up, a powerful force suddenly shoved him from behind.

The force was immense and came without warning.

Adrian Shaw lost his balance and tumbled right over the wall!

Fortunately, he managed to grab the edge of the wall with both hands.

But his body was already dangling over the side!

He desperately wanted to cry for help, but he realized he was in the far rear of the base, in a section that had already been completed.

The survivors hadn’t started moving into the base yet.

Almost no one ever came through here.

With no other choice, he had to try and save himself.

However, just as he strained his arms to haul himself over the edge...

A Wind Blade suddenly shot toward him!

Adrian Shaw’s left arm was instantly drenched in blood.

It was only then that he realized something.

’Someone wants to kill me!’

The pain in his left arm prevented him from using it, leaving only his right hand clinging desperately to the edge.

He knew he couldn’t hold on for much longer.

A fall from this height would be certain death.

As he felt himself about to fall, Adrian Shaw tried to use his Thunder Element Superpower to cling to the wall.

But it was no use.

The very second his right hand was about to give out, a pair of hands grabbed him firmly!

"Come on... pull!"

Nina Jacobs was relieved she had made it in time.

It was just that Adrian Shaw was heavier than she had imagined.

Fortunately, Wayne Warner, who had been following her, arrived just in time and hauled Adrian Shaw up with a single pull.

"Tha... thank you... both."

Adrian Shaw was still shaken from the ordeal.

The first thing he did was scan his surroundings, trying to see who was trying to harm him.

But he found the area around the scorching hot wall completely deserted.

’That probably wasn’t a person pushing me, but a Wind Ball.’

"Don’t bother looking. They’re long gone."

Nina Jacobs’ words made Adrian Shaw stare at her in shock.

"Did you just see someone trying to harm me?"

Adrian Shaw asked.

Nina Jacobs nodded. "Not only do I know someone wants to kill you,

I also know who it is."

There was no one within a hundred meters of them on the wall, so no one could overhear their conversation.

"What?! Who is it?"

Adrian Shaw was stunned once again.

"You don’t have any suspects?"

Nina Jacobs didn’t believe he was completely clueless.

"I do, but there are too many."

Adrian Shaw answered truthfully.

He had offended dozens, if not hundreds, of people.

He couldn’t possibly narrow it down.

"..."

Nina thought about what had happened in her past life. ’That person really does act without thinking of the consequences.’

’Plus, even though he doesn’t have a clear official position, he has a lot of privileges, and many people resent him for it.’

"So how do you know?"

"Believe it or not, I overheard it by chance."

Over the past few days, Nina Jacobs had overheard quite a bit using her Five Senses Enhancement.

Hannah Grant had indeed revealed that her brother was having precognitive dreams in an attempt to show her loyalty to Adrian Shaw.

But Adrian Shaw hadn’t believed her.

When Liam Grant found out, he flew into a rage.

Just as Nina Jacobs had predicted, he decided he wanted to kill Adrian Shaw.

"You know how the soundproofing in the shelter isn’t great.

I was walking my dog when I heard them say they wanted to kill you to silence you. As for why, I have no idea."

"Oh, right. I think I also heard them mention something about a dream and keeping it a secret."

Nina Jacobs said, watching Adrian Shaw’s expression closely.
