After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Overestimated Them

And with that, the cars set off.

Seeing Eliana Golding leave just like that, who would dare to stay?

Men and women came pouring out of the neighboring houses one after another.

Some of the men hadn’t even finished pulling up their pants.

"I heard there are Zombie Rats. Is that true?"

Fifth Mr. Stone asked, hastily fastening his belt.

"It’s true, it’s true! Ms. Golding saw them herself!" shouted a man who was scrambling to move a pile of supplies.

Watching the camp’s vehicles drive away one after another, Fifth Mr. Stone couldn’t sit still any longer.

"Stone, take me with you, won’t you?" a woman cooed, linking her arm with his.

Remembering the woman’s tenderness from the night before, Fifth Mr. Stone grit his teeth. "Get in! Let’s go!"

"Looks like there are still a few people in there," the driver pointed to a courtyard and said, after a few more men and women had piled in.

"They’re the disobedient ones. Just leave them," a junior manager in the passenger seat urged.

In just over half an hour, the alleyways fell silent again.

Nina Jacobs emerged from a house, closing the courtyard gate from the inside.

She hadn’t expected her old family home would be occupied after all.

But thankfully, it seemed only Eliana Golding and her bodyguards had been staying here.

The house hadn’t been trashed too badly.

Still, the scent of a stranger’s perfume inside the house inexplicably angered her.

’With Zombie Rats on the loose, they probably won’t dare to come back.’

Nina Jacobs moved through the courtyard and the house, creating marks that looked like they were made by gnawing Zombie Rats.

Then she went upstairs and, with a flick of her hand, stored the solar panel array in her storage space.

Just before she was about to leave, Nina Jacobs noticed a message sent back by the Little Zombie Rat.

The camp’s main building was completely empty.

However, there seemed to be a few living people in one of the alleyway houses.

They sounded like they were imprisoned there, and she could hear both male and female voices.

Nina Jacobs hesitated for a moment before putting on a mask and walking over.

"Is... is someone out there?"

Nina Jacobs heard someone call out cautiously from inside.

They were probably afraid she was a zombie.

When the figure outside didn’t move, Shirley mustered her courage and said:

"We were all tricked into coming here to work off debts. We’re just ordinary people with no Superpowers. Can you save us?"

"Yeah, Ms. Golding has already killed so many people! Please, save us! We’ll do anything you ask!"

Everyone inside began to plead.

The person outside seemed to have no intention of rescuing them after hearing their pleas.

Just as they were sinking into despair, they saw the person write a single word on the windowpane.

Wait.

It wasn’t that she was worried about exposing herself; Nina Jacobs just believed there was a better way to rescue these people.

In hopes of being saved,

Shirley and the others stopped shouting and waited patiently and quietly.

An hour later, a noise finally came from outside the door.

"Go in and search. Don’t miss a single room," Patrick Phelps ordered.

They happened to be passing through the area when a few people stopped them, claiming there were survivors being held captive here.

So, they had come to investigate.

He hadn’t believed it at first, but after entering the alleys, he realized there was more to this place than met the eye.

It looked like someone had set up a base here.

"Captain Phelps! There really are people here!" a rescue team member shouted.

Patrick Phelps followed him inside and was shocked to find more than a dozen young men and women tied up.

Seeing that their rescuers were an official team, Shirley and the others finally realized they were truly saved.

Meanwhile, Claire Warner had driven to an abandoned, empty warehouse. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
