During this time, Nina Jacobs completed over twenty scavenging missions in City J.
That was more than the total number she had done in City D.
Moreover, most of the missions were five-star, followed by four-star.
And most importantly, she had found the Mystic Ice Core and become an Intermediate Superpower User.
’Going out to gain experience really is important.’
All that was left was to return to City D, sell the supplies, and upgrade her system.
As night fell, the snores of the exhausted team rose and fell throughout the abandoned factory after two straight days of intense zombie-killing and travel.
Someone was on watch, but no one noticed a figure quietly slipping out.
Nina Jacobs had used a bottle of Invisibility Potion.
[Apocalyptic Survival Mission Activated: Scavenging Mission 41
Mission Details: A fire will break out at Sterling Seed Wholesalers in one day. To prevent the waste of resources, clear out 80% of the seeds within the establishment.
Mission Rewards: 1 System Storage Slot, +120 Experience Points.
Mission Difficulty: ★★★★]
She had accepted this mission for one reason.
It involved seeds.
Nina Jacobs’s Little Zombie Rat could only be used by accelerating the growth of seeds with her Wood Element Superpower.
The number of seeds she had stockpiled before the apocalypse was still far too small.
That was why she had accepted this mission.
Following the system map, Nina Jacobs used her Speed Element Superpower to head straight to her destination.
The advantage of this method was that if she encountered any zombies, she could immediately hide in her safe house.
She wouldn’t have to worry about being trapped in a car by zombies.
However, she still used her Earth Element Superpower to kill quite a few zombies along the way.
The seed wholesaler wasn’t too far away.
Perhaps because seeds weren’t essential supplies, there weren’t many zombies around, despite the location being near the suburbs.
Inside Sterling’s seed warehouse.
Regardless of variety, Nina Jacobs collected all the seeds into her system storage.
The mission went smoothly.
But just as she was about to turn the street corner, she clearly sensed something hiding there.
’A mutated zombie?’
Nina Jacobs remembered that she had just cleared out all the zombies in the vicinity.
She drew her Fire Roaring Blade, holding it defensively in front of her.
Just as the two seemed about to strike simultaneously, the other party suddenly spoke up:
"Hold on, I’m not a zombie!"
’Huh?’
Nina Jacobs found the voice somewhat familiar.
So familiar it was almost unbelievable.
Once they got a clear look at each other, Nina Jacobs exclaimed in shock,
"It’s you?"
Chester Pearson hadn’t expected to run into Nina Jacobs when he went out in the middle of the night.
He even thought he must still be dreaming.
"Nina Jacobs?!
What are you doing here?!"
It turned out that Chester Pearson had learned from Daniel Hale that the zombies on the past two streets had been gradually disappearing for some unknown reason.
He had grown curious and come out to investigate.
He never expected to run into Nina Jacobs.
"Uncle Hale is here too?!"
After hearing the reason, Nina Jacobs was even more surprised.
She hadn’t realized the City D rescue team would also venture deep into City J to collect supplies.
’No wonder I felt like my system’s scavenging missions had been refreshing much more slowly.’
But her system storage was nearly full anyway.
She didn’t mind the rescue team taking some of the supplies.
...
Inside a somewhat dilapidated building.
Daniel Hale’s Spiritual Element Superpower had already sensed one person returning outside the door.
"That must be Chester Pearson coming back."
Daniel Hale signaled for the team members inside to open the door.
No zombies meant it was safe.
"I wonder what caused that situation outside earlier."
Ian Chandler was also waiting for Chester Pearson to return.
But when the people inside the house saw who came in through the door, Ian Chandler shot up from his chair.
"Nina... Jacobs?"
Ian Chandler thought he was just exhausted and his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Nina?
Is that really you?"
Daniel Hale couldn’t believe it either.
It wasn’t until Nina Jacobs walked up to them that she said:
"It’s me. I just happened to run into Chester Pearson outside."
"So you killed all those zombies by yourself?

Because its existence would be discovered sooner or later.
