After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: A Foolish Decision

Everyone in the room stared nervously at the drone feed.

A few zombies were already closing in on the group.

"Don’t come over, don’t come over, don’t come over..."

Leo Hale chanted under his breath.

They were all thinking the same thing.

All they wanted right now was to lie low in the house.

They didn’t want anyone—living or undead—to find them.

But just then, a door right in the center of the drone’s view swung open.

Shannon Renner waved to the small group in the alley.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the group ducked into the yard next door.

And they brought the swarm of zombies right along with them, which now crowded the gate.

"What the fuck did she just do?!"

A torrent of unspoken curses flooded Leo Hale’s mind.

Shannon Renner’s yard was separated from theirs by a single wall.

How was this any different from kicking down their own front gate?

’Idiot.’

Nina Jacobs watched Shannon Renner on the screen.

’What the hell is this woman up to?’

’Doesn’t she realize this will draw all the zombies here?’

After crossing the small yard, Keaton Sloan and his group followed the woman inside.

"Thanks."

Keaton Sloan wiped the sweat from his brow.

He just didn’t know how long the door would hold.

"You’re welcome. There aren’t too many zombies around here,"

"and they’re all just Basic Lev—"

"Maybe they’ll wander off after a while."

Shannon Renner had almost let it slip.

They were just Basic Level zombies. Even though their numbers made them dangerous, she had to save Keaton Sloan.

Keaton Sloan was an old acquaintance from her past life and the future leader of the City D Base.

She remembered Keaton Sloan often called Nina Jacobs "sister-in-law."

"Let’s hope so."

Keaton Sloan listened to the relentless pounding on the gate, his eyes filled with worry.

’From the sound of it, they aren’t going to just wander off.’

Besides, this yard’s wall was too low. Compared to the one next door...

A glint appeared in Keaton Sloan’s eyes. The wall of the adjacent yard had been reinforced and raised significantly. Although it looked like a makeshift barrier of barbed wire and scrap metal, it would be extremely difficult for zombies to climb over.

"Is someone next door?" Keaton Sloan asked.

Nina Jacobs, who was using her Five Senses Enhancement, heard this and felt a muscle in her temple twitch.

’So they noticed us after all.’

"Yes, and they’re Superpower Users."

"We’ve killed quite a few zombies together these past few days."

Shannon Renner replied with a smile.

"If they were so kind-hearted, why would they have left us to die just now?"

"I don’t believe for a second they didn’t hear the commotion outside."

Keaton Sloan sneered.

"Captain Sloan, zombies got over the wall where Coleman is!"

"He needs support!"

Holt Tate listened to the broken cries for help coming from his walkie-talkie.

The situation had been so desperate that his men had gotten separated.

"Support? How are we supposed to support him?"

"Go out there and get ourselves killed?"

Keaton Sloan stared at the main gate, which was still rattling from the impacts.

The zombies outside were still ramming it. The clang of metal was attracting even more of them, and he had no idea how much longer the gate would hold.

"We’re going over the wall."

Keaton Sloan decided instantly.

The properties were separated by a single wall; they could easily jump across from the second floor.

"But, Captain..."

Holt Tate had a bad feeling about this, but Captain Sloan seemed to have made up his mind.

"Survival is all that matters!"

Keaton Sloan was the first to head for the second floor.

The second-floor balcony had an old, rusty iron railing. Once they broke it open, jumping across to the other side would be a simple matter.

"Captain, there’s no guarantee it’s safe over there."

After a moment’s hesitation, Holt Tate stepped in front of Keaton Sloan.

The next second, Sloan roughly grabbed him by the collar.

"You bastard, you want to die?"
