After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Lornwood Base

"That’s true. We’ll take you to Silas Crowley’s place first."

Returning to Lornwood Base, Cordelia felt that her entire state of mind had changed.

The heavy feeling from before was gone.

They were heading to Silas Crowley’s place because the conditions there were better. Although he was sharing it with others, it was a standalone dorm building.

"Actually, I originally rented the entire building myself."

"Then a few friends I made on the base needed a place to crash, so I let them move in. I don’t know if they’ve found their own places yet..."

Silas Crowley explained as he led the group to a rust-spotted door.

When he took out his key and opened it, a sour, foul stench immediately assaulted them.

Silas Crowley frowned, looking at the messy living room.

The place had been old and worn, but he had at least kept it clean. Now, the living room had clearly turned into a foul-smelling garbage dump.

"Well, well, Silas Crowley is back?"

Just then, a nearby wooden door was pushed open, and a man wearing only boxer shorts walked out.

Immediately after, the doors to other rooms also opened.

The people who emerged, men and women, looked utterly listless. It was obvious they had just woken up.

Nina Jacobs and Cordelia had already backed out of the doorway.

"Get some clothes on," Silas Crowley said, his face grim.

"Hmph. We thought you’d died out there."

One of the men casually scooped a filthy T-shirt off the floor and put it on.

A few women, wearing only their underwear, did the same, grabbing some tattered cloth to drape over themselves as if it were outerwear.

"Feeling tough now? Too bad. This place is ours," one of the men said coldly.

"That’s bullshit! Silas Crowley paid a full year’s rent on this place. Since when did it become yours?" Reginald Sutton retorted angrily.

"It’s ours because I say it is."

"The last time the base came to register residents, this place was officially changed to my name, Edmund Lawson, as the head of household. Who told you to stay away for so long?"

"We thought a big star like you had been shacking up with some rich old lady."

When Edmund Lawson finished, the room erupted in mocking laughter.

"I only let you move in because I saw you were struggling."

"Since this place is mine, I’m taking it back."

Silas Crowley pulled out a dagger, which was already crackling with electricity.

At that moment, a wooden door was kicked open by a tall man.

"Let’s see who’s blind enough to cause trouble on my turf."

The man formed a Fireball in his hand, a menacing look on his face.

Edmund Lawson said smugly, "See that? That’s my big brother. A man who walked out of the Correction Pods alive."

"You dare challenge him? You’ll have to get past my brother’s Fire Fist first."

’A man who walked out of the Correction Pods?’

Hearing this, Nina Jacobs walked back inside. She patted Silas Crowley on the shoulder and said, "Let’s go."

"Go?"

Although Silas Crowley and Reginald Sutton were surprised, they put away their weapons.

"Hahaha, looks like the pretty lady knows what’s good for her. If you two ladies want to stay here, you’re always welcome," Edmund Lawson shouted smugly.

But the group had already walked away. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Silas Crowley looked ashamed. "I’m so sorry. I thought..."

He now deeply regretted being soft-hearted and taking in a few backstabbing roommates.

"Forget it. Even if you took the place back, it’s probably unlivable now."

"Let’s just go to my place," Cordelia said.

Reginald Sutton lived on a different floor in the same building as her. Although they were in a collective dormitory, at least the neighbors had been relatively harmonious before.

"Why don’t we go rent another place?" Reginald Sutton suggested, thinking it might be more convenient for everyone.

But Nina Jacobs refused.

"If we rent a new place, we’ll probably have to register our information."

That guy, Edmund Lawson, just said the base had recently registered occupant information for every dorm.

This struck Nina Jacobs as odd.

’Why would the base be registering information at a time like this?’

"They’ve never really registered people before. Maybe they’re just updating records?"

Cordelia didn’t think too much about it. "My place is a bit small, but at least it’ll be cleaner. And there should be a lot of empty rooms..."

Back when she was still living there, people around her died every few days.
