After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Chapter 28: What a Coincidence

Leo Hale’s childhood friend was named Forrest Walsh.

Back when Daniel Hale was just a street vendor, he was a single father and would often lock little Leo Hale at home alone.

One time, a fire accidentally started in their home, and it was the family of Uncle Walsh, who lived next door, that rescued him.

After that, Uncle Walsh’s family often invited Leo, who was home alone, over to their place.

Uncle Walsh had a son and a daughter, and the three of them were childhood playmates.

Later, after Daniel Hale made his fortune, they moved away.

Unfortunately, Uncle Walsh and his wife died in a car accident, leaving only Forrest Walsh and Chelsea Walsh behind.

Forrest Walsh had been serving in the army, and Chelsea Walsh had also started working. This time, Forrest had called Leo Hale in a panic, saying something was wrong with his sister, Chelsea, and hoped Leo could go help her.

"Chelsea’s the type who hates to trouble others. She didn’t want me to go at all this time, but I have to."

Leo Hale explained.

A few days ago, Chelsea Walsh and her friend got caught in the acid rain. Fortunately, they both managed to run back to Chelsea’s apartment in time.

But over the past few days, Chelsea’s friend started acting strangely, so Chelsea had no choice but to lock herself in her bedroom.

She had originally planned to hold out for a few days until the acid rain ended, but with no food or water, she suddenly came down with a fever. In a daze, she answered a call from her brother, Forrest Walsh, and basically gave him her last words...

That’s why Forrest Walsh had asked Leo Hale, who was in the same city, for help.

"That must be the place."

Nina Jacobs and Leo Hale had reached a crossroad.

The map showed that the old residential complex diagonally across the street was the location Leo had mentioned.

"That’s right, that’s it!"

Leo Hale quickened his pace.

He had tried calling Chelsea Walsh several times but couldn’t get through. He didn’t know how she was doing.

Nina Jacobs followed behind him and activated "Five Senses Enhancement".

She focused her senses to investigate and soon heard the familiar roar of a zombie.

"Here, take this."

After confirming there was only one zombie, Nina Jacobs tossed an axe to Leo Hale.

"You even have one of these?"

Leo Hale had already led Nina Jacobs into the building’s hallway. He took off his raincoat, completely missing where Nina had pulled such a sharp axe from.

"Found it on the ground."

Nina Jacobs turned her head away.

Leo Hale hesitated for a moment but took the axe anyway.

He knocked on the door to Chelsea Walsh’s apartment and was met with a loud roar and the sound of something slamming against it.

The sound was identical to the strange noises Ben Stone and his mother had made.

’Definitely a zombie.’

"Remember to aim for the head."

Nina Jacobs reminded him.

She could see how nervous Leo Hale was.

"Aim for the head, aim for the head..."

Leo Hale took a deep breath. He first used his Superpower to open the lock, then kicked the door open with all his might.

As the door flew open, a female zombie reeking of decay was knocked to the ground behind it.

Before Leo Hale could get a clear look at her face, the female zombie was already back on her feet and lunging at him!

Leo Hale dodged and swung the axe wildly. When he saw that he had chopped off two of the female zombie’s fingers, he nearly fainted.

"It got past you!"

Nina Jacobs shouted a warning from the side. Leo Hale let out a yell and swung again.

The axe struck the top of the female zombie’s head perfectly.

The roaring stopped instantly.

Watching the figure fall, Leo Hale collapsed onto the floor.

He gasped for breath, his hands trembling.

"This...

this counts as self-defense, right?"

It only then occurred to Leo Hale that he had no proof.

"Of course it does."

Nina Jacobs surveyed the apartment.

The living room was a complete mess. Only one of the bedroom doors was shut tight.

The door was covered in bloody scratch marks.

Leo Hale struggled to his feet. He used his Superpower to open the bedroom lock and, sure enough, saw Chelsea Walsh huddled motionlessly in the corner.

"L-Leo?

’It seems if Leo and I hadn’t come, Chelsea really would have died.’ 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
