After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Such a Place

By now, the various areas inside the base had gradually fallen quiet.

With Cordelia and Reginald Sutton watching Lexy, Nina Jacobs wasn’t worried for the time being.

Although Lornwood Base now had electricity, lights-out was very early. According to Silas Crowley, they were used to eating whatever they could around four o’clock and then preparing to rest.

Resting motionless and sleeping consumed the least amount of energy and water.

Edmund Lawson was still eating the coarse-flour flatbread he’d snatched, pairing it with the ham sausage and alcohol Isidore Donovan had also snatched. The group was quite content.

"Back in the day, that Silas Crowley was just a fool with more money than sense in our circle. But hey, who can blame him when making money was so easy for his family?"

"I heard his family background is pretty impressive. Didn’t they forbid him from joining the entertainment industry? Did he have a falling out with them later?"

"What falling out? He just agreed to go back and inherit the family business. But in this day and age, if he had really gone back, he’d probably have squandered the entire family fortune, hahaha."

"Definitely dumb enough to do it..."

"The way he is now, his family’s probably all dead, hahaha..."

Amidst the group’s uproarious laughter, the door was kicked open with a BANG.

Edmund Lawson hadn’t even had time to react before he saw Silas Crowley staring at them, his face filled with rage.

Behind him were a man and a woman, both of whom had visited that morning.

"Silas Crowley, what do you think you’re doing?!"

A woman pointed at him and demanded.

"What am I doing? Getting rid of you, of course."

Silas Crowley hadn’t expected these people to take advantage of him only to badmouth him behind his back.

’It’s true what they say—the kind get bullied!’

"Such big talk! Brothers, get ’em!"

Edmund Lawson sneered.

Just three people dared to challenge them, when there were a dozen or so of them here.

Besides, Isidore Donovan was here too, and he was someone who’d gotten out of a place like the correctional facility.

Watching the people close in around them, Wayne Warner cracked his knuckles.

Nina Jacobs extended an arm, and the empty doorway behind them was instantly sealed shut by a layer of stone.

Isidore Donovan had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"I’ve killed eighty, if not a hundred, people in that correctional facility. The inside is full of my men. It’d be better for you if you die here today,"

"but if you don’t, I’ll send you all in there to experience what a living hell truly feels like!"

Isidore Donovan said viciously.

"Oh? It seems you’re quite familiar with the situation inside the correctional facility?"

Nina Jacobs raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of interest.

"Of course. My big brother is a big shot in there."

The moment Edmund Lawson finished speaking, a Thunder Ball shot toward him without any hesitation!

"You brat, your skills have improved!"

Edmund Lawson hastily dodged. Silas Crowley’s attacks had never been this sharp before.

Seeing this, Leoric Donovan also swung a Fire Fist at Nina Jacobs. It wasn’t for any particular reason—she simply looked like the weakest of the three.

However, before his fist could even land, the woman in front of him vanished.

"It seems your strength is nothing special."

Nina Jacobs was standing behind Leoric Donovan, a Stone Spike now hovering right between his eyebrows.

Ten minutes later, everyone in the room was on their knees, begging for mercy.

Many of them had already passed out; the Strength Element Superpower User had been too heavy-handed.

That included Edmund Lawson and Leoric Donovan, who were kneeling at the very front.

"Didn’t you say you knew a lot of people inside? What if I asked you to help me get someone out?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

’She had sought these people out mainly for Tobin.’

After all, this Leoric Donovan had been claiming he was someone who’d gotten out of the correctional facility.

"That... That was all a lie! How would I dare form a clique in a place like that?!"

Leoric Donovan cried.

"So are you going to help or not?!"

Silas Crowley hurled a Thunder Ball at him, and Leoric Donovan was instantly wracked with excruciating pain.

"I can’t help even if I want to! People who go in there rarely make it out alive, unless they kill their way out."

Leoric Donovan said.
