After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Only Want to Be Found by Him

Mordecai Quinn and Sean Joyce were childhood friends.

That emoticon was a doodle Sean Joyce had been drawing since he was a kid.

This was clearly a sign Sean Joyce had left for him!

"There’s a line of small text here."

Nina Jacobs found a line of graffiti-like writing on the back of the sign.

Although they were Drakonian characters, she couldn’t recognize them strung together.

Mordecai Quinn looked at it and smiled. "This is a local dialect from our hometown. You have to understand it using homophones from the dialect. That kid..."

He knew where Sean Joyce was.

"That’s great."

Daniel Lewis was thrilled to hear the news. He never believed Sean Joyce was the type to run off with the supplies.

"Yeah, let’s go. Crestfall Avenue isn’t far,"

Mordecai Quinn said.

Sean Joyce had told him to look for him at a hardware store on Crestfall Avenue.

"That’s good."

Nina Jacobs nodded, but a doubt also surfaced in her mind.

’Can a person really survive alone in a city teeming with zombies?’

’Does this Sean Joyce have some other skills?’

"Sean Joyce was always smarter and more resourceful than me, even as a kid. Only he could’ve come up with a code like this,"

Mordecai Quinn said.

But when the group arrived at the hardware store on Crestfall Avenue, they found nothing but zombies—not a single human.

"Mordecai, come look at this!"

Daniel Lewis pointed to some graffiti behind the door.

It still had the same mischievous smiley face, and Mordecai Quinn translated the dialect for everyone:

"It’s too dangerous here, so I’m going to hide out on Vespera Road, upstairs in the arcade we used to go to. Make sure you find me!"

"Vespera Road. Let’s go."

Mordecai Quinn was a little exasperated.

Sean Joyce had just added another layer of encryption to his location.

The arcade on Vespera Road had been converted into a clothing mall years ago.

Probably only a handful of people knew that.

To save time, Mordecai Quinn had Oswin Marshall take some people to collect the supplies on Crestfall Avenue first.

Vespera Road wasn’t far, and they planned to regroup after finding Sean Joyce.

Upstairs in the old arcade, now the clothing mall, there was still no sign of Sean Joyce.

Mordecai Quinn found another message from Sean Joyce at the spot where his favorite arcade machine used to be:

"No choice, the zombies found me again. This time, I’ll be at the place where you had your first blind date. I promise I won’t move again this time!!"

"It’s a coffee shop."

Mordecai Quinn couldn’t help but frown after reading it. ’What the hell is that kid playing at?’

"It’s like he wants you to find him, but he’s afraid of being found by others?"

Nina Jacobs said.

’Is Sean Joyce worried about being found by the Ziegler Family?’

But she also felt something was off about this last message.

’What does "I won’t move again this time" mean?’

With the same question in mind, Mordecai Quinn quickly found the coffee shop.

After clearing out the zombies, Daniel Lewis couldn’t help but say:

"This kid is hiding in a pretty secluded spot. The whole area below is crawling with zombies; who would’ve thought someone was hiding up here."

"Over here."

Mordecai Quinn spotted the same familiar emoticon.

He and Nina Jacobs walked up the stairs and saw a closed door.

Next to it, a line of small text was written on the wall, one only Mordecai Quinn could recognize:

"Congratulations, you found me!"

Following the arrow, Mordecai Quinn pushed the door open with a sigh of resignation.

However, the sight that greeted him made him freeze on the spot:

Tethered to the leg of a coffee table was a zombie with a vaguely familiar face.

ROAR!

The zombie opened its mouth wide and roared at the newcomers.

"Is that... Sean Joyce?"
