After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: It Was the Two of Them

It was from Shirley Lucas that Nina Jacobs learned that there was a Goldsmith’s Shop inside the park, one that bought gold Superpower Users found on the outside.

A pound of gold could be exchanged for 100 points, and 100 points could get you two cups of instant noodles.

"There’s nothing to be done. Gold is as useless as money these days."

Shirley Lucas also felt this exchange rate was a bit of a rip-off.

But regardless, many people still took the gold jewelry and Gold Bars they found to exchange for park points.

She took out a plate of sunflower seeds from somewhere and handed a handful to Nina Jacobs.

"Where’s the Goldsmith’s Shop?"

Nina Jacobs took the sunflower seeds, and the two of them started cracking them open in a corner.

"What, you have gold you want to trade too?"

Shirley Lucas spat out a seed shell and leaned against the table behind her.

Nina Jacobs glanced at the muscles on her arms and said,

"No, I’m just curious."

"Not far. It’s right next to that RV over there,"

Shirley Lucas replied.

Nina Jacobs had actually seen a white RV on her way in.

So she knew exactly where Shirley Lucas meant.

There was indeed a building next to the RV.

Just then, the award ceremony on stage finally ended. Scott Stone put on a smile and said loudly,

"Today, we are extremely fortunate to have with us the general manager of our park, Dempsey."

"Please welcome him to the stage to say a few words."

The audience immediately burst into applause.

Nina Jacobs finally got a look at the man, Cole Dempsey.

He looked to be only in his twenties, and he was dressed quite fashionably.

He didn’t really look like a big boss.

There was a strange noise beside her, and Nina Jacobs saw Shirley Lucas quickly hide something.

But she didn’t pay it any mind. Seeing that Wayne Warner was interested in the sunflower seeds in her hand, she grabbed another handful for him.

Wayne Warner promptly stuffed the entire handful into his mouth and started chewing them, shells and all. CRUNCH, CRUNCH.

"..."

Hearing Shirley Lucas’s suppressed laughter beside her, Nina Jacobs instantly regretted it.

’I’d better not give Wayne Warner random things to eat anymore.’

Cole Dempsey’s speech was less a motivational rally and more a brainwashing session.

"...The Superpower User Alliance will expand nationwide in the near future,"

"And when that time comes, all of you here could very well become the backbone of our Alliance!"

"YEAH!!"

Someone started an excited round of applause.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside.

Cole Dempsey said something to Scott Stone before heading out first.

Before long, several people who could barely stand were brought in.

Their lips were chapped and cracked, and their bodies had an unnatural red flush.

They were foaming at the mouth and seemed to be unconscious.

Nina Jacobs hadn’t expected the men she’d locked in the metal shed to be found so quickly.

"What’s going on?

Did someone take out these disgusting creeps?"

Shirley Lucas, sitting beside her, perked up with interest and sat up straight.

"Not taken out. More like roasted,"

Nina Jacobs added from the side.

"Roasted?

Now that you mention it, they do kind of look like it."

Just as Shirley Lucas was pondering this, Cole Dempsey’s gaze swept across the crowd, and he asked,

"Just now, someone found these brothers on the back hill. They’d been ambushed."

"Also, Supervisor Quincy has been killed." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"I want to know if one of you is responsible for this."

The crowd was in an uproar, with everyone looking bewildered.

Shirley Lucas gave Nina Jacobs some more sunflower seeds and explained in a low voice,

"That supervisor, Quincy, was no saint."

"I think he was a relative of Scott Stone’s. He screwed over plenty of people."

"I don’t know who did it, but they did everyone a favor."

"I think so too."

Nina Jacobs nodded.

"No one’s admitting it?

So you have the guts to do it, but not to own up to it."

Scott Stone’s voice suddenly rose.

The hall immediately fell silent.

Shirley Lucas nudged Nina Jacobs, who took the hint and put down her sunflower seeds.

"According to our investigation,"

"Supervisor Quincy was only in contact with two people before he died."

"Which of you are Wayne Warner and Summer Warner?"

Scott Stone continued to scan the hundred or so people below.

No one answered.

He was already furious, and the silence from the audience made him want to explode.

Shirley Lucas also looked around, confused.

"I know! It’s those two!"

Just then, a long-haired woman stood up, pointing at Nina Jacobs and her companion.

Nina Jacobs raised an eyebrow. It was Holly Abbott.
