After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Shirley Lucas

Although not every prediction was accurate, it still led The Alliance to a good amount of supplies.

A few of The Alliance’s managers even gave her a warm welcome.

They even threw a celebration banquet in her honor.

But as time went on, Lily Lewis discovered the management was nothing but a bunch of crooks, so she decided to leave.

After a struggle and some failed negotiations...

her legs were broken.

"Tell me, isn’t that infuriating?"

Lily Lewis slammed a hand on her wheelchair, finishing her story through gritted teeth.

"When I see that bastard Cole Dempsey, I’ll make sure he gets a taste of my gut-wrenching talisman water."

"You didn’t have a Superpower before?"

Nina Jacobs asked after listening.

"No. If I had a Superpower, I wouldn’t have needed to seek refuge here."

Lily Lewis said, looking down at her hands.

She never expected to awaken a Water Element Superpower.

After her legs were broken, she came down with a high fever, but no one cared whether she lived or died. Driven by an extreme thirst, she awakened her Water Element Superpower just as she was on the verge of death.

"Then it was a blessing in disguise for you."

Nina Jacobs glanced at Lily Lewis’s legs.

When a person awakens a Superpower, their body recovers to its peak condition.

Lily Lewis’s legs were probably just an act.

But she didn’t call her out on it.

Just then, a familiar, deep RUMBLE came from Wayne Warner, who was sitting beside them.

Nina Jacobs checked the time. She had gotten used to this after spending the last few days with Wayne Warner.

Hearing Wayne Warner’s stomach growl, she suddenly felt hungry herself.

"It’s six o’clock. Want to go out and get something to eat?"

She had plenty of food in her storage space, but she was curious to see what a post-apocalyptic buffet was like.

Besides, they were already here. It would be a waste not to eat.

But Lily Lewis refused her offer.

"I have too many enemies here. If I actually went, I doubt anyone would let me eat in peace."

Lily Lewis said with a nonchalant air.

’I’ve beaten up so many Superpower Users. They must all still hold a grudge against me.’

"I heard Dempsey is coming tonight."

Nina Jacobs said before heading out.

"Push me out there. Tonight, either he dies or I do."

Lily Lewis flew into a rage at her words, even struggling to get to her feet.

"You want revenge looking like that? Just forget it."

With that, Nina Jacobs took Wayne Warner and headed toward the cafe.

"If the food here is bad, we’ll just have another meal when we get back."

Nina Jacobs didn’t actually have high hopes for this so-called buffet.

But when they arrived, she found it was actually quite good.

While most of it consisted of staple foods, there was also a decent amount of meat, as well as some desserts and drinks.

"The teams that went out for supplies today... only a few people came back. It’s awful!"

"This is nothing. The other day, not a single person made it back."

"Isn’t that better? Fewer people to fight us for food."

"I heard Dempsey is coming personally tonight to give us a pep talk. He’s even promoting someone to a position at headquarters."

"For real? Is headquarters huge? I really hope I get to see it one day..."

Nina Jacobs listened to the surrounding chatter as she ate.

’It seems the casualty rate for Superpower Users in the Superpower User Alliance is pretty high.’

Just then, however, she noticed a few people being beaten and thrown out.

"Get out! You’re not a Superpower User, and you think you can sneak in here to eat?"

the waiter who was hitting them cursed.

"So you two really came."

Shirley Lucas said, walking over with her plate after spotting the pair in the corner.

"What’s going on over there?"

Nina Jacobs asked, pointing to the people who had been kicked out.

"They’re family members of Superpower Users, people without Superpowers. The rule here is that only Superpower Users are allowed to dine."

"The waiters are here to stop regular people from sneaking in, and also to keep an eye on Space Superpower Users trying to steal food and hide it in their dimensions."

Shirley Lucas took a large bite of ham from her plate and continued:

"On days when the park has a buffet, they don’t provide the three regular meals. Superpower Users can exchange points for food, but normal people don’t have any points."

"Doesn’t their family do anything about it?"
