Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Cover Blown, Outsiders

Seeing the look on Tina Lewis’s face, Seraphina Sullivan smiled.

"Is that so?" she said, suddenly pulling a lemon drop from her Space. "Want something sour to perk you up? I remember hearing that sour flavors can help relieve stress."

This was a blatant test.

Tina Lewis’s file clearly stated that she had an extreme aversion to sour flavors, and Seraphina Sullivan wanted to see her reaction.

Sure enough, the color drained from Tina Lewis’s face in an instant.

She fought back her discomfort and forced a smile. "N-No, thank you... My stomach’s a little upset..."

Justin Brooks, oblivious, asked with concern, "Are you okay? Why’d you suddenly go so pale?"

Harvey Parker looked irritated.

Though they had temporarily escaped the terrifying Bee Swarm, danger in this instance was omnipresent.

Aside from the various mutated members of The Swarm, the Carnivorous plants altered by the red mist were equally deadly.

Justin Brooks kept stealing glances at Seraphina Sullivan, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn’t bring himself to.

He wanted to ask for some intel on this instance, but he couldn’t be sure if Seraphina Sullivan was a Player like them. After all, the power she had displayed was astounding, and she seemed very familiar with this world.

The system forbade telling the Native People about his Player status, which made him hesitate.

Tina Lewis, meanwhile, followed silently at the rear of the group, her mind racing.

Seraphina Sullivan’s arrival had completely upended her plans. What unsettled her more was the prickling sense of danger she felt down her spine whenever their eyes met.

It was a sixth sense she had honed over countless instances, and it had never once been wrong.

’If I could just use my Ability freely, I could take care of all of them! But the system...’ Tina Lewis gritted her teeth.

’I have to find a way to leave this group...’ Tina Lewis thought, pushing up her glasses as a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

But with Justin Brooks and Harvey Parker sticking so close to Seraphina Sullivan, leaving abruptly would only arouse suspicion.

Just as she was racking her brain for a way to escape, the group arrived at a relatively safe, abandoned shopping mall.

But the moment they stepped into the lobby, an unexpected encounter made them all freeze.

A sudden commotion erupted ahead of them.

Seraphina Sullivan raised a hand, signaling for the group to halt. She peered cautiously into the depths of the mall and, to her surprise, found signs of human activity!

"Be careful. Follow me," Seraphina Sullivan whispered.

However, as they rounded a corner...

"It’s you!"

Cheryl Chase, along with several other survivors, peered down from the second floor, recognizing Seraphina Sullivan at a glance.

She leaped nimbly down the stairs, the emerald Mantis Scythes at her waist swinging with the movement.

Seraphina Sullivan was also a little surprised. "Cheryl Chase? What are you guys doing here?"

Seraphina Sullivan hadn’t expected to run into Cheryl Chase here.

She quickly scanned the small team behind Cheryl Chase. There were five or six survivors, dressed in rags but fully armed. Every one of them was wounded, and they had clearly just survived a vicious fight.

Vivi and the others she had met before were nowhere to be seen.

However, these people were extremely wary upon seeing Seraphina Sullivan’s group.

Cheryl Chase was as wary of Seraphina Sullivan as ever, but when she thought of Seraphina’s Ability, she spoke.

"The Shelter was attacked by an Insect Speaker. We were forced to relocate," Cheryl Chase explained briefly.

Hearing the word "Shelter," Seraphina Sullivan understood that it must be the source of protection for the survivors in this instance.

Cheryl Chase suddenly said, "We’ve set up a temporary base on the second floor. Want to join us?"
