After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Taking the Fall

"Don’t tell me something happened inside."

Corisande said.

Previously, someone would open the gate right after we sent the signal.

But Tristan Lynch just sent three signals in a row.

"How about I climb up and take a look?"

Lachlan, who had a Wood Element Superpower, remarked that he was rather skilled at climbing walls.

"It’s too high. There’s no need."

Nina Jacobs said.

"Miss Zephyra is right."

Feeling her concern, Lachlan happily retreated to the back.

"Let me do it. I’ll melt this outer gate."

Seeing his chance, Shane Shepherd also eagerly offered to show off.

"We’re here to see our own people. Why resort to that? Let’s wait a bit longer."

Nina Jacobs said calmly.

She had already heard some movement inside.

’It’s just that things seem to have gotten a little more interesting.’

"Achilles Renner, it’s us! Aren’t you going to open the gate?"

Tristan Lynch, at the end of his rope, shouted toward the gate.

’What’s gotten into Achilles Renner?’

Just then, a sound finally came from within the gate.

The two gates were opened.

As he watched the first few figures walk out, Tristan Lynch was about to make introductions but quickly sensed something was wrong.

Every person who came out was holding a weapon.

Besides Achilles Renner and a few members of the organization, a number of unfamiliar faces followed behind them.

"Achilles Renner, what’s the meaning of this?"

Tristan Lynch asked.

Nina Jacobs looked at the man. He was tall and thin with upturned eyes, and he held a long metal spear. When he saw Tristan Lynch and the others, there was no welcome in his eyes.

Only killing intent.

’Looks like this meeting is going to be a little different from what I imagined.’

"Tristan Lynch, you all have the nerve to show your faces here again?"

Achilles Renner said.

"Renner? What’s wrong?"

Lachlan asked in confusion.

’Did we break some cardinal rule? Why is Achilles Renner looking at us like that?’

Achilles Renner then declared loudly:

"Tristan Lynch! Since entering Keldorn, your group has disobeyed orders, looked out only for your own selfish interests, and repeatedly ignored warnings to lead your own sorties. This has resulted in a ninety-percent casualty rate for the operation’s team members."

"Not only that, but you also established a private, independent outpost, failed to report your findings, and embezzled supplies..."

"As one of the leaders of this operation, I, Achilles Renner, have the right to deny you entry. If you still intend to force your way in, then don’t blame us for what happens next!"

Nina Jacobs noticed that as Achilles Renner spoke, someone behind him was raising a camera to film the entire exchange.

His words were stern and righteous, enough to make any listener burn with indignation.

But her companions could only listen, dumbfounded.

Tristan Lynch even wondered if this was some kind of bizarre welcoming ceremony. He asked with a slightly awkward, tentative smile,

"Renner, what are you talking about? What private outpost? Weren’t we supposed to have two in the first place...?"

"Tristan Lynch! Out of 200 team members, fewer than 20 are left. Do you admit to this fact or not!"

Achilles Renner demanded.

Corisande couldn’t figure out what kind of stunt Achilles Renner was pulling. She said, baffled,

"But that’s what happened. Renner, weren’t you involved in all of it, too?"

"We really did run into Intermediate Zombies, and the situation inside Lornwood Base was unexpected."

"Stop your nonsense!"

Just then, a female subordinate behind Achilles Renner cut her off coldly.

"Exactly. You all brought this upon yourselves. It has nothing to do with Renner."

"We’ve been standing guard here for days precisely to stop people like you from trying to come back and fight over the supplies!"

Another male subordinate added.

"Tristan Lynch, for the sake of our past partnership, you should just leave. Otherwise, don’t blame us for what comes next!"

Achilles Renner said.

"Renner, you must be joking, right?"

"Weren’t you the one who told us to wait there for Magnus York?"

"This is Miss Zephyra. She’s here in Magnus York’s place."

Tristan Lynch still didn’t seem to grasp what was happening.
