“Where have you been all this while, you creep?” Chloe kept looking at me condescendingly. I placed my book by my side, and while it pained me to do so, I withheld my desire to kill her.HOWEVER, I absolutely refused to act inferior to the bitch.“This is quite the surprise… Chloe, it’s a shocker to meet you here.” I smiled.My response fazed her a little. Clearly, she wasn’t expecting such a smooth response. While it was possible for me to act the way she remembered me, I had no intention to stoop so low.Why?Because there was no merit in doing so!Unlike in the case of Anne and her group, Chloe proved to be of no worth to me, at least at the moment. My innocent, kind, act had earned me the trust of my current supporters. They thought of me as harmless, and so didn’t give in to suspicion or burrow deeply into my words.As a result, my position among them was cemented. But, with this brat, there was no benefit whatsoever. Not only was she weak, but her attitude would make it difficu
“Tch. You…” Chloe was nearly speechless after our brief exchange. Apparently, her trump card, Daniel’s existence, did her no good.‘As expected. She hasn’t changed, still leeching off the authority of others…’ I thought to myself.I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t a little frightened of Adam, or his existence within the Camp. I certainly hadn’t expected to meet the two worst people I knew in my life in the same place.‘Does this mean… even more of my classmates are here?’ My mind rang.If that were the case, then that would be bad. I don’t think I would be able to control myself with so many targets for revenge in my line of sight.Merely seeing this bitch was enough to send thoughts into my head. I didn’t want more distracting flies buzzing around me.“Why are you here?” I asked, glaring at her.The sooner she left, the better. If possible, I would prefer she left before Anne’s group returned.‘I don’t want them to see another side of me.’“That’s none of your business!” Chlo
>BOOOOOMMMM!!! The extreme collision between Anne’s powerful fist and Chloe’s sturdy barrier sent waves across the room, causing everything around to shake violently. Things turned out to be more serious than I expected.“I’ll ask you once again, Chloe… and you’d do well to answer me. Explain yourself!”Chloe gulped this time, appearing extremely fazed by Anne’s look.The fact that she was all alone in a room full of people who were suspicious of her didn’t help matters.“Calm down, Anna. Jeez… I only came to talk about something when I saw that twerp. I didn’t know he was-““Twerp? Are you trying to dismiss what you just did right now? You know the sanction that awaits you for this, don’t you?” Peter interrupted, glaring at Chloe as he spoke.His annoyed tone, coupled with the slight look of satisfaction at the situation clearly proved that Peter had something against her.“Relax, okay? I did
“After the meeting, I was a little worried that something might happen between you and Annette, so I came to look for you,” Adam said with a concerned face.“A-ah, is that so…?” Chloe laughed awkwardly.Adam nodded affirmatively, moving closer to Melissa with his usual charming gait. His well-built body and youthful exuberance made him admired by most, even now during the Apocalypse.“It turns out I was right. Something definitely happened for you to look so annoyed.” He whispered.Gripping Chloe by the waist and drawing her closer to himself so he could smell and hold her in his arms, Daniel smiled and closed his eyes charmingly.“Talk to me, babe. What happened this time?”Chloe felt her annoyance slowly ease away, and her fear dissipated. Now that she was with her man, nothing would hold her back.“Those bastards nearly killed me! Shit, if I hadn’t erected my shield on time, Anne would have bashed her fi
Adam was scum!No, he was much worse. Everyone around him knew how selfish he was. He had wealth, power, influence… and strength. Because of this, he was able to get anything he wanted with no consequences attached.His favorite hobby was picking on the weak, and while he had scores of toys to play with, he enjoyed ‘teasing’ Damian the most.He was an absolutely repulsive and selfish person, the perfect match for an opportunist like Chloe.Since she was also smart, beautiful, and influential, their union wasn’t a surprise to anyone that knew them. And so, they started dating.They both hated the weak, especially Damian, and trampled on them due to their high esteem. Those were the time of their lives, fun moments… until the Apocalypse began!The world turned into hell overnight, and everything was plunged into chaos.Their prospective futures turned into dust, and the wealth and fame that their families bui
After we concluded our meal, Katie took all our dishes and placed them outside. Upon noticing my surprise, Anne decided to explain things to me.“Duties are split among the Camp members. Usually, they would even be the ones to bring our meals for us, but since we have one extra mouth to feed, I had to talk to the food distribution unit. Plus, the rest wanted to come along with me and ask for extra, since this was a special night.” Anne said with a warm smile.Words could not express the kind of disgust I felt once I realized that this meal was actually dubbed as ‘special’.‘It pains me to think of the usual food these suckers eat.’I understood that they were trying to conserve resources, but I would rather leave such a Camp and fend for myself than share my find with a bunch of losers who could only do domestic work and grovel for their daily bread.“A-ah, I see…” I muttered.Before more conversation ensu
Using my Sanitizer and water well, I cleaned up nicely.Feeling squeaky clean, I placed them back into [Subspace], also putting the mat in the trash area.‘There’s no way I’m ever using that again. It’s as good as shit now.’ Finally, I returned the Gas mask as well, holding my breath as I quickly exited the horrific area.“Haaa… Haaa…” I heaved heavily upon stepping out.“Wow, you did a good job. I was so sure you’d run out screaming.” Peter smiled, giving me a surprised expression.‘This bastard actually wanted to see me terrified?’>SighAt this moment, I knew I had to complete whatever I wanted to do and leave this filthy place quickly. I wasn’t sure how long I could survive living this way.As we walked away from the men’s toilet, my eyes caught the female’s side of the restroom as well.Seeing that they were divided, I had a feeling that
“Come in.”This would be my first time hearing the camp leader speak up close, and so far I wasn’t all that impressed.Theodore opened the door, leading me in while waiting behind as he shut the door. Of course, I quickly scanned the office, taking note of the neat order in which it was kept.While it wasn’t as impressive as a high-class place, the chairs and tables were arranged properly. The floor was neat, and I could tell from the ambiance that it was well-maintained.My eyes went to the leader, a middle-aged person in his late thirties or so, having a dignified and refreshing look. Of course, his serious demeanor also did him justice as a boss.Beside him was the woman Katie had told me was his assistant. She had a difficult face to read, so I didn’t bother.“Welcome, Damian. I’ve been expecting you.” The man said, giving me a mature smile.I nodded, staring blankly. There was no need to act so buddy-buddy with him.Seeing as this was going to be my play, Charles, as he was calle
