This was to stabilize the effects of the Ice Core.
She would let it fully merge with one Superpower before beginning the absorption for a second one.
And this time, Nina Jacobs decided to have her Wood Element Superpower absorb this particular Ice Core.
The absorption process for the Mystic Ice Core was fast.
Nina Jacobs finished absorbing it in just five minutes.
She took out a few Little Zombie Rats and tried to control them.
Her Control Power was indeed much stronger than before.
Even her Perception had improved.
"It can do this too?"
Nina Jacobs found it rather amusing. She could even control the Little Zombie Rats to change their size.
However, she didn’t dare to manipulate them recklessly.
The enlarged Little Zombie Rats didn’t look very friendly...
The shelter was safe enough.
Nina Jacobs slept dreamlessly until dawn.
"Nina, have you had breakfast?
Do you need any motion sickness medicine?"
「The next morning」 Ian Chandler was fully prepared.
They had to take a boat to get to Beldane Island.
"You’re always so thoughtful, Ian."
Just in case, Sherry Renner took one of the motion sickness pills.
She had heard that the river along that route was incredibly foul-smelling.
"This is Captain Levi Stone, the sub-detachment leader of Rescue Team 4."
Ian Chandler introduced Nina Jacobs and the others in turn.
Levi Stone wasn’t particularly tall, and he looked at the group with a hint of skepticism.
"All of you, make sure you stick close to us today.
If something happens, we won’t be held responsible."
Levi Stone had actually been against it when he heard that some Superpower Users would be joining them at the last minute.
But he didn’t have the final say.
"Understood, Captain Stone."
Nina Jacobs wasn’t bothered in the slightest.
After the introductions were over, she pulled Ian Chandler aside.
"Pack these up."
Nina Jacobs said, pointing to the items in the back of the off-road vehicle.
"What are these?"
Ian Chandler looked and saw that they were several hovercrafts.
There were also some waterproof suits and oxygen masks.
"Better safe than sorry."
After Nina Jacobs said that, Ian Chandler obediently packed them away.
"Actually, my mom and the others prepared some things for me too,
and the waterway isn’t that long.
We’ll have a helicopter escort the entire way there."
Seeing that Nina Jacobs still seemed very worried, Ian Chandler tried to reassure her.
"Is that so? That’s good then."
Nina Jacobs wasn’t so sure.
’Could Ian’s presence this time really change the outcome from my past life?’
But no matter what, she was fully prepared.
By the time they followed the well-equipped team to the riverbank,
Leo Hale was already desperate to put on the oxygen mask Nina Jacobs had given him.
"This is... just too foul,"
Leo Hale said.
He was starting to regret not taking the motion sickness medicine.
The river’s surface was covered with a massive amount of rotting fish carcasses, emitting waves of stench.
These were all fish that had died in the river during the acid rain period.
Fortunately, the ferry had been specially treated.
It looked very sturdy and had already been given an anti-acidification treatment.
"The whole trip is 30 minutes. Everyone, stay on your toes!"
Levi Stone said before they boarded.
There were only about 70 people on this mission.
The reason was that the zombies on Beldane Island had already been completely cleared out.
This mission was simply to use these two ferries to bring back the 400-plus people from the island.
"Let’s go."
Ian Chandler was the first to board the boat.
Nina Jacobs followed right behind him.
"Why did my divination point to a near-certain death again..."
Sherry Renner was starting to have serious doubts about herself.
"That’s normal. Any dangerous place is going to give you slim odds of survival."
Levi Stone happened to overhear Nina Jacobs’s words.
He shook his head, finding it harder and harder to understand why the higher-ups had allowed a few young people to tag along.
Except for that tall guy, Wayne Warner, the rest of them looked like they were just here for the ride.
"You haven’t been on many missions before, have you?"
Levi Stone said.
