Chapter 42: New Mission Alert...
Liora wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and threw the empty water bottle onto the ground with a loud thud. The sharp sound resonated through the supermarket, making the trio flinch.
Chen Wei was the first to speak, his voice cautious. "Uh... Liora?"
She ignored him, her fingers still curled into fists as she stared at the ground. Her shoulders trembled, whether from exhaustion or barely restrained fury, none of them could tell.
Zhou Yinuo shot a look at the other two, silently urging them to do something before she exploded.
Liang Zihan sighed, stepping forward carefully, like he was approaching a wild animal. "Look, I know you’re mad—"
Liora’s head snapped up, her eyes burning with rage. "Mad?" she repeated, her voice laced with disbelief. "I dragged boxes in the heat for hours while those bastards sat around doing nothing! And then, after all that, they had the nerve to drive off without us like we’re garbage?"
Chen Wei scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, that was pretty messed up."
"Messed up?" Liora barked out a bitter laugh. "That old bastard Xu didn’t just want to humiliate us. He wanted to treat us like beggars, make us accept this bullshit treatment like we don’t have a choice!" She exhaled sharply, pacing back and forth, hands twitching like she wanted to strangle something—preferably Xu.
Liang Zihan sighed again. "We don’t have a choice. It’s always like this after the apocalypse fell. We humans were treated worse than the dead. And alone, Chen Wei could also do nothing as he was only at level 1."
