After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: The Fastest Route

When Sherry Renner got back, Nina Jacobs was already gone.

"What?

But it’s so late!"

Sherry Renner looked at the time.

Nina Jacobs had left two hours ago.

That was usually when the rescue teams and scavenging survivors returned.

’Is she planning to spend the night out there?’

"She said she’d spend a night at the old house. That girl..."

Vera Coleman sighed deeply.

Even though her daughter had secretly told her she had ways to protect herself and not to worry.

But it was impossible not to.

"Keep this quiet.

Nina’s trip is classified. For the next few days, we’ll just carry on as normal."

Daniel Hale said.

"It’s my fault.

If I had explained things sooner,

maybe Wayne Warner wouldn’t have been taken."

Leo Hale was still blaming himself.

Nina Jacobs had said those people had already noticed Wayne Warner and wouldn’t have let him go easily. Still, whenever he thought about what started it all, he was filled with regret.

He should have drawn a clear line with Bianca White sooner.

"It’s too late to talk about that now.

Nina Jacobs will be fine, so don’t worry.

Lawson and Myra Lawson still value her highly."

Daniel Hale didn’t want Vera Coleman to worry too much, so he could only offer some optimistic words of comfort.

Meanwhile, Nina Jacobs was driving toward the North Suburbs, following the route planned by the system.

The setting sun stained the horizon a blood-red.

The air was filled with the cries of zombies and unknown creatures.

The entire world seemed to be shrouded in desolate loneliness.

Sitting alone in the car, Nina Jacobs felt a momentary sense of unease.

Before, when Wayne Warner was in the car, the only sound he usually made was chewing.

But it had been surprisingly reassuring.

But now, she was all alone.

"System, is there a faster route?"

Nina Jacobs summoned the system.

The people from the Superpower User Alliance had only left a few hours before her.

’So is it possible for me to get there before them?’

Intercepting them halfway was also a possibility.

But she didn’t know which road they had taken.

If she could arrive earlier, she might be able to infiltrate them ahead of time.

[Switch to the fastest and most dangerous route for the host?]

the system replied.

"...Is there a route that’s a bit faster but not so dangerous?"

The fastest and most dangerous route. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

’I’m not ready to go get myself killed.’

[Faster route found. Can save 4 hours of driving time. Host may switch at will.]

Nina Jacobs zoomed in on the map to carefully examine the route.

It turned out there was a blockage on a large bridge along the river. If she could get past that section, she could cut four hours off her travel time.

Looking at the map,

even if she couldn’t cross the riverside bridge, she wouldn’t waste too much time.

Nina Jacobs decisively tapped to switch.

’I just wonder if I can get through there before dark.’

Along the way, she tried not to stop, ramming through anything she could.

She was finally approaching the long, red section on the map.

Nina Jacobs took out her binoculars, and her heart sank when she saw the situation in the distance.

The bridge was broken in the middle.

A massive support beam had smashed onto the deck, snapping it in half.

At the same time, zombies from behind and the surrounding area were all converging on her as she stood on the roof of her car.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

There was a lot of rubble around. Nina Jacobs used her Earth Element Superpower to Control the debris and hurl it at the zombies.

Just then, an idea struck her.

’The bridge is broken, but what if I use my Earth Element Superpower to build a path across the gap?’

With this idea in mind, Nina Jacobs began to kill zombies much faster.

She hurled Fireball after Fireball at the surrounding zombies without holding back.

Rocks rose from the ground, instantly shaped into Stone Spikes by her Earth Element Superpower and shot straight into the zombies’ heads.
