After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret-Chapter 139: Black Eats Black

BOOM!

The bald man snatched the rocket launcher.

The people in front and around him immediately tried to dive for cover, but the blast still caused widespread casualties.

"Hehehe, you bastard Abbott,"

"I told you, you were going to die by my hand sooner or later."

The bald man laughed smugly from within a thick cloud of smoke.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"It’s not yet certain who will come out on top."

From a corner, Ethan Abbott flung a corpse aside with one hand.

It was a companion he had grabbed at the last second to shield himself from the explosion.

He, however, appeared to be completely unscathed.

’Anyone who can make it in the apocalypse is a ruthless bastard.’

Nina Jacobs could tell that neither side was simple.

The man named Abbott probably saw that there was no possibility of a truce and decisively ordered several of his team members to launch a suicidal attack.

Soon, the bald man was at a disadvantage due to a lack of ammunition.

Ethan Abbott used several Gold Spikes to riddle the bald man with holes.

"Hahaha..."

"I won! Trying to steal from me..."

"No one has ever managed to take anything from me."

Ethan Abbott staggered to his feet.

The area was a wreck, littered with corpses and severed limbs. Although Ethan Abbott had won, his own people had also suffered heavy losses.

Only two companions remained on the ground, unable to get up.

"Ab-Abbott, save me."

A man who had lost a leg in the blast reached out and grabbed Ethan Abbott.

"Owen Lewis... how could you be so careless?"

A look of resignation appeared on Ethan Abbott’s face.

He bent over, pretending to help the man up, but in the next second, he pierced his neck with a Gold Spike.

"Cough, cough..."

"Why..."

Owen Lewis clutched his perforated neck.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"I have no interest in supporting a cripple."

Ethan Abbott said with a deadpan expression.

"Ethan Abbott, you... you’re not even human."

Not far away, a woman supported herself against the corner of a wall and stood up.

"We risk our lives for you, and you’re this ruthless."

She also looked injured, her eyes brimming with fury.

"Oh dear, you saw that?"

Ethan Abbott pulled out a pistol from behind his back and shot the woman without hesitation.

"You can come out now."

Just then, Ethan Abbott waved at a car not far away.

’There are others?’

Nina Jacobs looked over as well.

The door of a car in the corner opened, and a young woman ran to Ethan Abbott’s side, her face etched with worry.

"I was so worried about you."

"If anything happened to you, I couldn’t go on living."

The woman and Ethan Abbott embraced.

Ethan Abbott gently patted her back.

"Silly girl, how could I ever leave you all alone?"

"Come on, all the supplies here are ours now."

"We’ll put everything into your space in a bit."

"Don’t worry. With all these supplies,"

"we can always find more people to risk their lives for us."

"Okay."

The woman smiled sweetly. She took Ethan Abbott’s arm, and the two walked toward the entrance of the Verdant Supermarket.

Just as Ethan Abbott used his Gold Element Superpower to open the doors of the Verdant Supermarket...

Nina Jacobs was about to reveal herself with Wayne Warner.

But at that very moment, another gunshot rang out.

Nina Jacobs looked over in surprise to find that Ethan Abbott had been shot in the chest and had collapsed.

"Why?"

"Why wouldn’t you agree to find a deserted place and live just with me?"

"I don’t want to kill zombies, and I don’t want you to build a team."

"But you never listen to me..."

the woman shouted at Ethan Abbott.

However, her only answer was Ethan Abbott’s wide, furious eyes...

Seeing that Ethan Abbott had stopped breathing, the woman glanced around cautiously before preparing to step into the supermarket.

But then she heard applause.

"A classic case of the snipe and the clam fighting, only for the fisherman to benefit."

Nina Jacobs walked over with Wayne Warner.

She had to admit, the scene that had just unfolded was more exciting than any show.

She had thought Ethan Abbott would be the final winner.

But now, all that was left of him was a corpse.

"Who are you?"

The woman looked at the two of them with a wary expression.

’There are only two of them. Maybe I still have a chance.’

Just as she was about to pull a pistol from her space, she heard one of them speak.

"The supplies in here are ours."

"If you’re willing to leave, I won’t harm you."

Nina Jacobs just wanted to complete her mission.

Besides, based on the mission prompt, even if this woman took the supplies from the Verdant Supermarket, she was fated to die today anyway.

’It would be better for her to just leave now.’

"You really won’t kill me?"

the woman asked.

Nina Jacobs nodded. She had no grudge against this woman.

If she was willing to give up the supplies, Nina certainly wouldn’t take her life.

"Fine. As long as you let me leave,"

"I’ll leave the supplies to you."

The woman agreed readily.

The next second, a slab of stone shot up in front of Nina Jacobs and her companion.

The woman was holding a pistol, shocked that her opponent had reacted so quickly.

But she had no intention of giving up.

Bullets sprayed wildly in their direction.

Nina Jacobs frowned.

The woman’s target was actually Wayne Warner.

Wayne Warner didn’t seem panicked at all, easily blocking two bullets with his palm.

Nina Jacobs saw it clearly: as the bullets made contact with Wayne Warner’s palm, they showed faint signs of ricocheting.

"Since you’re asking to die, I have no choice."

Several Stone Spikes, accelerated by a Speed Element Superpower, shot rapidly toward the woman.

The woman tried to dodge but was killed instantly.

"Is your hand okay?"

Nina Jacobs inspected Wayne Warner’s palm.

To her surprise, his palm didn’t even have a scratch.

Wayne Warner shook his head and handed Nina Jacobs two magazines.

Nina Jacobs didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Nevertheless, she took the magazines. Gazing at the corpses strewn across the ground, Nina Jacobs directly conjured several Fire Serpents.

The Fire Serpents slithered across the ground, incinerating all the corpses.

The smell of blood was too strong; it was safer to burn the bodies.

"We need to be quick."

After doing all this, Nina Jacobs still felt uneasy.

After all, the fight just now had made a huge commotion.

Nina Jacobs quickly led Wayne Warner into the Verdant Supermarket.

After confirming the supermarket was safe inside,

she took out several high-powered flashlights and placed them at the entrance, instantly illuminating the interior.

’The goods are preserved so well.’

It was less of a supermarket and more of a large warehouse.

The warehouse was well-sealed, with only a few ventilation shafts covered with fine mesh.

After having Wayne Warner close the supermarket doors again, Nina Jacobs began to quickly gather the supplies.

"You want to eat this?"

Seeing Wayne Warner stop in front of a shelf, Nina Jacobs reached out, took down a bag of milk candies, and handed it to him.

Wayne Warner hadn’t eaten any snacks in days, so it was no wonder he couldn’t tear his eyes away from the items on the shelf.

"Are you completely immune to bullets now?"

Nina Jacobs asked as she continued gathering supplies.

"..."

Wayne Warner chewed his milk candy, seemingly not understanding what Nina Jacobs meant.

"It’s nothing. Go on, keep eating..."

Nina Jacobs had heard in her past life that some powerful Strength Element Superpower Users could not only enhance their bodies but also reflect damage.

And this Skill was not something every Strength Element Superpower User could learn.

Some said it was an instinctive reaction that developed only after being injured.

Wayne Warner touching the bullets with his bare hands just now had reminded her of this.

’Could it be that the injuries Wayne Warner suffered have actually allowed him to acquire this Skill?’

Nina Jacobs went back to focusing on collecting the supplies.

The Verdant Supermarket had a considerable amount of supplies.

However, the lingering smell of blood outside still attracted zombies.

Looking out from a ventilation shaft, the strange appearance of a mutated zombie quickly caught Nina Jacobs’s attention.
