Apocalypse God Mode: Unlocked (Cecilia) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93 A Brutal Ambush

Ivy immediately stood up when she saw Cecelia and walked over to meet her.

Cecelia smiled at her and quickly pulled Jerome over. “Ivy, look who this is.”

Ivy froze for a moment, her face full of confusion as she looked at her.

Finished

Cecelia brushed aside Jerome’s long bangs, revealing the handsome young face underneath. “Jerome! Our cousin! It’s been years since we’ve seen him, hasn’t it?”

“Jerome?”

Ivy hesitated for a moment. After catching Cecelia’s meaningful look, she instantly understood and said in surprise, “Is it really Jerome? I haven’t seen him in so long! You’ve grown up so much!”

“Exactly!”

Seeing that Ivy had caught on, Cecelia raised an eyebrow and continued the act. She pulled Jerome along and ‘said, “My sister, your older cousin Ivy. Don’t tell me you forgot her too?”

The corner of Jerome’s mouth twitched slightly. He said in a low voice, “Yeah… it’s been a long time.”

“It’s fine. You can take your time remembering.”

After saying that, Cecelia pushed him toward the couch and made him sit down.

The confused ones were Matthew, Ryan, and Regina.

All three of them looked at Timothy with puzzled expressions.

Where had Cecelia brought this random guy from?

Since Ivy had already acknowledged him as family, Timothy no longer doubted it and explained, “When Cecelia took Amber out earlier to kill zombies, they happened to run into Jerome. He was in a survivor group fighting a mutated zombie.”

Matthew and Regina nodded in sudden understanding.

Ryan crossed his arms and snorted. He looked at Jerome and said, “Judging by how skinny you are, I bet you haven’t even killed a zombie before.”

Jerome looked up at him but didn’t answer.

Cecelia immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Jerome. She looked at Ryan with clear impatience. “I’ll teach him. So do me a favor and keep your mouth shut. Mind your own business.”

“Fine. Then I’ll watch closely and see how you teach him. Just remember, our team doesn’t keep useless freeloaders!”

Ryan said it mockingly, emphasizing the last few words.

Cecelia didn’t bother responding to him anymore.

Ivy looked at Jerome, who was sitting beside her, and felt a bit conflicted.

She didn’t understand why Cecelia had brought back this unfamiliar boy.

But since Cecelia had brought him here, she must have had her reasons.

All Ivy needed to do was play along and cover for her.

Still…

Ivy couldn’t shake the feeling that the boy named Jerome was a little too quiet. Even though he was handsome, the overall aura around him felt gloomy and unapproachable.

Jerome heard Ivy’s thoughts but said nothing.

To be exact, none of the thoughts in the room escaped his mind–reading ability.

In just a short moment, he had already formed a general understanding of everyone there.

“Hendrick still hasn’t come back. I’m going out to check.”

Matthew suddenly thought of it.

Earlier, Hendrick had followed Cecelia and Amber when they left.

Finished

Now the two of them had returned, but Hendrick was still nowhere to be seen. Matthew couldn’t help feeling worried.

Timothy called out to him. “Which direction did Hendrick go?”

Matthew instinctively glanced at Cecelia and Amber.

Timothy immediately understood.

Hendrick had always paid close attention to Cecelia’s movements. It was obvious that he had followed them earlier to see why Cecelia had taken Amber out.

Timothy had also been surprised that Cecelia would take Amber out to kill zombies.

Whatever her reason was, it probably wasn’t a bad thing for their team.

Since that was the case, he didn’t ask further.

“Matthew, come with me and take a look. Ryan, stay here and keep watch.”

After saying that, Timothy left with Matthew.

Once the two of them were gone, Cecelia turned her attention to the filthy Jerome. “Do you want to take a

shower?”

Earlier, that level 3 zombie had grabbed him by the throat. Not only had his neck almost been snapped,

but there were still bloodstains on him, along with a faint smell.

Jerome nodded.

Cecelia stood up and led him toward the bathroom.

Finished

After reminding him to wash up properly, she went to the car to grab a clean set of athletic clothes for him.

Just as she reached the doorway, she saw Matthew in the distance running toward them, drenched in sweat, with someone on his back.
