After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: Spiritual Hypnosis

"Leo? Sherry?"

Nina Jacobs immediately shut the cabin door, stopping them from going any further.

But then she realized Leo Hale and Sherry Renner were among them.

She hurried over to them.

Their eyes were blank, as if they’d lost their souls.

It was as if they had been hypnotized.

Just like everyone else in the cabin.

"Wayne, block them!"

Nina Jacobs frowned.

Some of the team members were already trying to open the cabin door.

If they all jumped into the black water like that last team member, she probably wouldn’t be able to stop them either.

"Right."

Inside the cabin, it seemed only Wayne Warner was still fully conscious.

Wayne Warner stood at the exit, completely blocking the path of those trying to leave.

Nina Jacobs, meanwhile, took a spray bottle filled with Healing Potion from her backpack.

She wasn’t sure if it would work.

After she sprayed it on Leo and Sherry several times, their eyes slowly began to focus.

’It’s working!’

A look of joy spread across Nina’s face.

"Nina? What... what’s going on?"

Sherry Renner found herself standing inside the cabin.

"Was I sleepwalking?"

Leo Hale had no idea what had just happened either.

"It’s similar to sleepwalking. They’re all just like you were."

Nina Jacobs explained what had happened.

Their eyes went wide in disbelief.

"Never mind the cause for now. We need to snap everyone else out of it."

Nina Jacobs took out several more spray bottles.

She had Leo Hale and Sherry Renner follow her lead, spraying it on the others’ faces.

"What’s wrong with everyone?"

Levi Stone rubbed his head after coming to his senses.

He still felt groggy, as if he’d been dreaming.

"Captain Stone, I think someone or something has discovered us and is trying to attack. You should remind everyone to stay alert and, most importantly, not to look outside."

Nina Jacobs said, pointing at the vast expanse of black water outside.

"You’re okay?"

Levi Stone was puzzled, but it clearly wasn’t the time for questions.

"I don’t know what came over me just now. It just felt like something was driving me away, and then I started walking outside."

Outside the cabin, Jude Vance was terrified when he learned he had been about to jump into the river.

Jumping into that foul, black water would have surely meant a gruesome death.

"Thank you both for saving my life just now!"

Jude Vance gave Nina Jacobs and Ian Chandler a military salute.

"Don’t mention it. It’s what we should do," Ian Chandler said. "Besides, Nina was the one who first noticed something was wrong."

"But why did it happen?"

Inside the cabin, Levi Stone had already scanned the surroundings.

The black water was as quiet as before, with no sign of anything suspicious.

"Right, was it that dog barking?"

Sherry Renner asked. She was certain she had heard it right before she lost consciousness.

"Yes, I heard a dog barking too."

"I’m not sure if it was a bark. It sounded more like a low growl from some animal. A warning, maybe?"

"I think I heard it too. I thought I was just tired and hearing things..."

The others in the cabin chimed in one after another.

"But how could there be a dog barking in the water? Even a zombie animal shouldn’t sound like that."

"The helicopter is gone, too."

Ian Chandler pointed out.

He had noticed it while he was outside the cabin.

The helicopter that had been following them had vanished.

"Also, it’s been over twenty minutes, and we still haven’t seen the shore. Is that normal?"

a team member asked.

This realization sent a cold sweat down everyone’s spines.

"Right, Captain Caldwell and his crew!"
