After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Hannah Grant’s Space

"What are they thinking, wandering around in the rain like this? Do they have a death wish?"

The driver, Lewis, switched on the car’s hazard lights, hoping the three of them would notice.

They had come specifically to inspect the final cleanup in this area, just in case any survivors had been missed.

"They don’t look like survivors."

Elijah Young observed them for a moment. The three of them were clearly very well-equipped.

Two of them walked with a light spring in their step, not looking distressed in the slightest.

And it seemed the trio had noticed their vehicle as well.

One of them, a tall guy, even waved at them, hopping up and down to get their attention.

From inside his raincoat, Leo Hale gave the car a thumbs-up.

As they’d been walking, they saw that all the survivors on this road had already been evacuated. This made him deeply appreciate the rescue team’s efforts.

Too bad the people in the car couldn’t hear his praise.

"Turn off the hazards. They don’t need our help."

Elijah Young was speechless.

’Are these three just messing around?’

"Alright, let’s get a move on."

Nina Jacobs’s ears were filled with the sound of Leo Hale’s shouting.

That was obviously a rescue vehicle, and the people inside were probably asking if they needed help.

But Leo Hale had mistaken it for someone waving hello to him.

"Leo’s been like this since he was a kid.

Sometimes he just focuses on completely different things than everyone else."

Chelsea Walsh was panting with exhaustion. She realized she was the weakest of the three.

’Looks like I’ll have to start working out more.’

Fortunately, they hadn’t walked much farther before Nina Jacobs, as if by magic, produced a car from the side of the road. Only then did Chelsea feel like she had been brought back to life.

After struggling out of his raincoat, Leo Hale also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The rescue teams are arriving in waves. The situation should start improving now, right?"

"Yeah. Once this acid rain is over, I’m definitely treating you guys to a big meal. You can all try my cooking," Chelsea Walsh added, full of anticipation.

In their minds, the disaster had to end someday. Once it was all over, things would gradually return to normal.

Nina Jacobs drove on in silence.

Meanwhile, Leo Hale and Chelsea Walsh were lost in their daydreams about the future.

Just then, a figure up ahead slammed into the front of the car with a THUD.

"Did we hit someone?"

Leo Hale and Chelsea Walsh both broke out in a cold sweat.

"It hit my car," Nina Jacobs said calmly.

"...Is there a difference?"

Leo Hale felt they were in big trouble.

But then Chelsea Walsh looked behind them in horror.

"It’s getting up!

It’s coming over!"

’Who gets sent flying by a car and just gets back up?’

"You’re right. That’s not a person anymore."

Nina Jacobs had already seen the situation behind them in the rearview mirror.

That was clearly a zombie.

A zombie that had crawled out of the standing water on the ground.

That’s why it suddenly appeared in front of her car.

So she revved the engine, threw the car in reverse, and slammed back into it.

The tires rolled over the zombie’s head, and Nina Jacobs saw her system’s Experience Points slowly increase by 1.

Chelsea Walsh was too scared to speak.

"Just like that mutated friend of yours. Once they’re dead, they’re dead."

Leo Hale was beginning to accept the reality of killing zombies.

"Really?"

Chelsea Walsh’s voice was still trembling.

But Nina Jacobs felt something was off.

The way that zombie appeared just now was too strange.

’Maybe the apocalypse is speeding up...’

"You guys, look at your phones! How is this person’s hand shooting sparks?!"

Chelsea Walsh had just been trying to distract herself with her phone when she came across an incredible video.

"Oh, that?

Nina Jacobs can do that too."

Leo Hale wasn’t surprised at all.

In fact, he’d seen videos like that early this morning.

Not just in Drakonia, but in countries all over the world.
