Chapter 155
When Bernard and Lucy found Philip, the zombie virus had just erupted.
Bernard had sensed something was wrong. Carrying the unconscious Philip on his back, he hid with Lucy and a hospitalized Eleanor.
Their luck was incredible. They locked themselves inside the hospital’s pharmacy and refused to open the door, no matter who came begging for help.
By some miracle, the Reids survived the early days of the apocalypse.
That wasn’t the weirdest thing.
Since they stayed in an integrative medicine center, it not only had modern medications but also herbal medicine. To curb hunger, they lived off herbs instead of food. Philip, who had nearly been reduced to a vegetable, actually recovered.
They missed the first wave of rescue, but they ran into a survivor team scavenging for supplies.
The Reids clung to that team, and eventually, they made their way to Base K1.
Luck seemed to follow them wherever they went.
Of course, this time around, they suffered terribly without Hayley’s protection and guidance.
At first, they had almost nothing to eat and were forced to survive on dry, tasteless herbs. As for water, they collected rainwater from a window. From the start of the apocalypse, they hadn’t had a proper meal.
On the road, no one protected them. Everyone was battered and exhausted. Bernard even broke one leg, becoming a cripple
When they finally got into the base, they had no advantages like last time. They were stuck in the shantytown.
Bernard and Eleanor had no strength to work. Philip spent his days lying around, eating more than he should, and even taking
Bernard and Eleanor’s food most of the time.
The only one who could actually earn food was Lucy. 1
Now, as Philip regained his strength, he decisively declared that he would take his mother Lucy and completely cut thes with the
useless Bernard and Eleanor.
“Philip, you can’t do this to us! Have you forgotten what we’ve done for yet Your dad worked his fingers to the bong in the big city since you were born, all to provide a good life for you. He even married into someone else’s family and suffs, ed all kinds of shame. Have you forgotten all that? We’re your family! You can’t just abandon us!” Eleanor cried.
“Family, my foot!” Philip snarled.
He kicked Eleanor and Bernard hard.
“If it weren’t for your incompetence, I wouldn’t have had to live like this! Before the apocalypse, you could i øven get awe a proper house. Because of that, Sue aborted the baby and broke up with me I’ve been suffering all my life Now, Ivan Toven get a full meal! And you call yourselves my family? Trash like you? All of you can go to hell!
Philip’s kicks landed inercilessly on their heads
Eleanor curled up immediately, her body already weak from years of malnutrition and diness with bart, she spat out à
mouthful of blood.
“Mom! Are you okay? Philip, you’re gonna kill your grandma!” Betard screamed
Philip’s eyes showed zero pity If anything, he got more excited “Serves her right that useless piece at crap deserves to die, anyway She’s worthless!”
