After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Wishing Pool

"Run that way."

Nina Jacobs pointed in a certain direction.

But after running a short distance, the group realized something was wrong.

Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner hadn’t followed them.

"You guys go on ahead,"

"we’ll meet you at the rendezvous point."

Nina Jacobs waved her hand, creating a curtain of fire at the intersection where the others had left.

The curtain of fire completely blocked the entrance to the road.

The mutated pheasants didn’t dare to advance.

"No, there are only two of you,"

Pascal Paige refused.

Although she had known Nina Jacobs for less than a day, Nina had already saved them twice.

How could she abandon them now?

There were at least thirty of those mutated pheasants.

"Yeah, we can help too."

"You go find the others first. We can handle things here."

Besides, Nina Jacobs was looking for an excuse to head toward Vespera Peak anyway.

Plus, Pascal Paige had already planned routes for various scenarios, so finding their way wouldn’t be difficult.

As they spoke, Wayne Warner had already grabbed a mutated pheasant by its beak with one hand and snapped its neck with the other.

"Then you have to be careful,"

"we’ll wait for you to come down the mountain together."

Pascal Paige shouted, her eyes red.

Nina Jacobs had no intention of removing the curtain of fire.

If they didn’t leave soon, they would just continue to drain her Superpower.

Once the others had left, Nina Jacobs finally unleashed her Wood Element Superpower.

Wood Element Vines, imbued with her Speed Element Superpower, rapidly entangled several mutated pheasants.

BOOM!

At the same time, rolling flames traveled along the Wood Element Vines and struck the pheasants directly!

Before they could even cry out, the mutated pheasants were instantly killed.

Wayne Warner guarded Nina Jacobs, ensuring no danger could get near her.

"This kind of chicken is usually best slow-cooked in a pressure cooker for a few hours,"

"but you have to use a lot of seasoning."

"Oh, right, it would also be good marinated and air-dried to make jerky."

Nina Jacobs was already thinking about how to prepare these mutated pheasants.

The meat of mutated animals was edible, but extremely tough.

However, this wasn’t a problem for the people of Drakonia.

As long as something was edible, they could always figure out a suitable way to cook it.

Nina Jacobs could clearly hear Wayne Warner gulping beside her.

Looking at the ground littered with the corpses of mutated pheasants, Nina Jacobs simply stored them all in her system’s inventory.

Nina Jacobs took out the map Pascal Paige had drawn.

To climb Vespera Peak, it seemed they had to pass through a temple.

The route was a bit winding, but that wasn’t a major challenge for the two of them.

In front of the temple on Rexton Mountain was a wide, flat area with a Wishing Pool.

As Nina Jacobs approached, she discovered a motionless giant tortoise lying in the center of the long-dry Wishing Pool.

The giant tortoise was lying on a high stone platform.

It lazily opened its eyes.

And around it were several other turtles of considerable size.

They were huddled together, nestled around the base of the stone platform.

Nina Jacobs could tell the giant tortoise must have mutated; otherwise, it wouldn’t have grown to be over two meters long.

"Let’s go."

Seeing that the turtles in the pool had no intention of attacking them, Nina Jacobs didn’t linger.

Continuing forward, a small brown rat appeared before them.

It was the mutated rat Nina Jacobs had released the previous night.

Nina Jacobs walked over to the Little Zombie Rat.

While scouting last night, she had clearly felt a strong energy fluctuation through the rat.

That was why she had left it here as a marker.

But now, that feeling was gone.

There was nothing around but rotten grass and withered trees.

’Was it just my imagination?’

The two arrived at the so-called Vespera Peak.

By now, the scorching sun was high in the sky, its blinding rays beating down on the wasteland.

As far as the eye could see, the surroundings were as silent as an empty valley.

There was no sign of any fallen Mystic Ice Cores.

’In such a dry place, how did those turtles survive?’ 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
