Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Leaving, Breeding Chaos

After the trade was complete, the two didn’t linger. They turned and began the difficult trek home, their feet sinking deep into the thick snow with every step.

The sky gradually brightened. Although the blizzard raged on, visibility had improved slightly.

Along the way, Seraphina Sullivan saw more people venturing out into the blizzard. Many were pushing carts, struggling to move along roads not yet completely buried by snow. Most seemed to be heading toward the hospital.

However, the hospital was now being managed by the military in the wake of the disaster.

Clearly, the sudden, severe cold had already caused a great number of medical emergencies.

’Ugh, the pigeon problem still isn’t solved...’ 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Seraphina Sullivan sighed. Her "Bombing Pigeon" project couldn’t be shelved just because she lacked a carrier.

She instinctively glanced down at her right hand.

Now, in addition to the Transformation Ring that could alter her appearance, her finger wore another ring: the sleek, silvery-white Pelican’s Eye.

The two rings shimmered with different lusters on her slender finger.

Just as Seraphina Sullivan and Sean Chandler were struggling back through the blizzard, the sharp sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out from not far ahead, immediately followed by a woman’s terrified scream.

Seraphina Sullivan immediately looked toward the sound. Through the swirling snow, she saw a figure clutching a large bundle leap out of the broken window of a long-closed storefront. The person landed, didn’t pause for a second, and sprinted deep into the streets at a speed far beyond that of a normal human.

Immediately after, a middle-aged woman, shivering violently from the cold, stumbled out of the broken window in pursuit. She stared in the direction the robber had vanished.

She cried out in despair, "Robbery! He stole my food! That was the last of our family’s rations! Help me!!"

However, by the time Seraphina Sullivan tried to get a clear look at the robber, they had already vanished without a trace into the white expanse of snow and around the street corner.

That speed was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.

’A Player?’ Seraphina Sullivan’s heart sank a little.

Her own supplies were plentiful, so she hadn’t fully realized that for the vast majority of ordinary people, the food shortage had become an imminent survival crisis, one that was already starting to trigger vicious incidents.

’This won’t do,’

Seraphina Sullivan was instantly on high alert. ’People are already resorting to robbery for food. I have to be more careful. I can’t let anyone see that I have plenty of food, or I’ll easily attract jealousy and danger.’

With heavy hearts, the two returned to their residential complex, just in time to see a military vehicle driving away, its tires crushing the snow.

Seraphina Sullivan didn’t think much of it at first. But when she got home and opened her phone, she saw the property management group chat had exploded with messages and realized that was the vehicle Justin Brooks had sent to pick up his mother.

’It’s good they picked her up,’ Seraphina Sullivan thought, relieved. ’If Miss Webb had stayed here, she definitely would have been guilt-tripped by those who’ve lost their senses, and her personal safety might have even been threatened.’

Sure enough, the group chat immediately flooded with all sorts of sour and even malicious comments:

[Why is she the only one who gets picked up by the government? When are we going to be rescued? The supermarkets are closed in this cold, what are we supposed to eat? Air?]

[Her son is an official Player, of course she gets special treatment! Guess we just weren’t born so lucky!]

[Gossip alert! I heard the main target of that crazy Player who attacked our complex was Justin Brooks! We were all just dragged into it because of him! He should compensate us for our losses!]
