After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Global Acid Rain

"Why?

Do you have any idea how expensive my sports car is?"

That was his brand-new sports car.

"Just let it go! That brat is always buying useless junk anyway."

Daniel Hale huffed.

He had even given Leo a beating a while back because of that car.

The kid couldn’t even pass his driver’s test, yet he was already copying others and buying sports cars. It was enough to give him a heart attack.

"Are you sure you want to go out?"

Nina Jacobs unlocked her phone, and a shocking video popped up.

In the downpour, people were fleeing frantically, their endless screams filling the streets.

A closer look revealed they weren’t just trying to get out of the rain. Their screams were of agony, and their light-colored clothes were stained red.

That red wasn’t just tinted rainwater—it was blood.

Some people ran under the eaves, but the skin on their faces was already corroding. Clumps of hair fell out, exposing their scalps.

They shrieked as they tore off their rain-soaked clothes, only to rip away their own flesh along with the fabric.

The video was filled with the crowd’s tormented screams and the sound of children crying.

Even the person filming couldn’t help but start crying, shouting for people to come take shelter...

Vera Coleman was speechless. Leo Hale’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

The video was only a dozen or so seconds long.

’Is this really not a scene from a movie?’

"How could this be happening?

This..."

The alcohol had completely worn off for Daniel Hale.

"Could this be man-made?"

Vera Coleman’s face was pale with fright.

"It’s not man-made! This isn’t man-made!

The whole country—no, the whole world is getting this rain!"

Leo Hale’s hands trembled as he frantically scrolled through the news on his phone.

It wasn’t just City D, or even Drakonia. It was very likely that the entire world was experiencing this catastrophe!

How could this be happening?!

Why? Just why?

"Oh no! My son came to see me today.

He’s still out there right now! Mr. Hale, can you please help me?

Can you go pick him up?"

Nanny Sullivan pleaded with them.

She pointed to a video on her own phone and said:

"Look, as long as you don’t get hit by the red rain, it’s fine. Mr. Hale’s car is in the garage. If you drive straight out, you can get to my son."

"He’s just nearby! I’m begging you!"

Nanny Sullivan dropped to her knees before them.

"But... I’ve been drinking."

Nanny Sullivan had worked for the Hales for many years. Although it was a professional relationship, they had always gotten along well.

But of all nights, he had to have been drinking tonight...

"Ma’am, I’m begging you,

Please, save my son!"

Nanny Sullivan cried out.

Leo Hale didn’t even have a driver’s license, but Vera Coleman could drive.

"But..."

Vera Coleman touched her belly.

The shock from a moment ago had already left her feeling a little unsteady, and she wasn’t feeling well.

"How about this, Daniel, you come with me,

and I’ll drive?"

Seeing Nanny Sullivan crying so heartbrokenly, Vera Coleman was moved with compassion.

Although Daniel Hale was worried about Vera, he reluctantly agreed.

Nanny Sullivan was crying tears of joy when a cold voice cut in:

"You can’t go."

Nina Jacobs stood blocking the entryway.

In her past life, on this very day, Vera Coleman and Daniel Hale had gone to pick her up. They both died in a car crash, along with the baby in Vera’s womb.

She would never forget the devastated look on Leo Hale’s face when he told her what happened.

Nor could she forget the sorrow she had felt in her own heart.

She had once found it hard to forgive Vera Coleman for her grandmother’s death.

But when she lost her closest family, her heart had been filled with frantic helplessness.

So in this life, even if the sky were to fall, Vera Coleman could not be allowed to go outside.
