After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Treasure’s Discovery

Before, it was usually Wayne Warner and Leo Hale who walked the dog.

They usually chose to do it at night when there were fewer people around.

But this time, as soon as the door opened, Treasure seemed to catch a peculiar scent and bolted off in one direction.

Wayne Warner heard the commotion downstairs and followed Nina Jacobs out the door.

The two of them followed behind Treasure.

Nina Jacobs couldn’t help but wonder what Treasure had found.

As they went further down a more secluded path, she realized something was wrong.

It was the smell of blood.

The metallic stench grew stronger the farther they went.

It was accompanied by a putrid odor she recognized.

’Is this... the smell of a zombie?’

Nina Jacobs raised her guard, and behind a row of red bricks, she found a convulsing figure on the ground.

It was a woman.

Her condition was clearly a precursor to zombification.

Treasure was barking incessantly at the woman.

"Treasure, quiet."

"Wayne Warner, check if there’s anyone else around."

As soon as Nina Jacobs spoke, Treasure stopped barking.

It seemed the people on Beldane Island were right; Treasure was especially sensitive to the scent of zombies.

Just then, the woman on the ground stood up in a contorted posture.

’She’s completing her zombification right here?’

Nina Jacobs watched as the female zombie lunged at her.

To her surprise, Treasure jumped in front of her.

It growled at the female zombie, and its body began to grow larger.

"Treasure, don’t kill it yet."

Nina Jacobs understood.

Treasure was protecting her.

Treasure stopped growing, but it seemed unable to shrink back to its original size.

Feeling exasperated, Nina Jacobs found an iron chain and temporarily tied the zombie to one side.

Then, she casually used her Wood Element Superpower to help Treasure return to its normal size.

On the ground, she found a Gold Spike.

This discovery reminded her of Sherry Renner’s investigation report.

Wayne Warner had returned by now, having apparently found nothing.

"Go get Sherry Renner for me," Nina Jacobs said to Wayne Warner.

She had to stand guard here for the time being; after all, it was a crime scene.

Besides, it wasn’t convenient to move the zombie. If anyone from the base saw it, it would likely cause a panic.

Wayne Warner was fast.

In just a short while, a bewildered Sherry Renner was carried over by him.

"...Nina Jacobs? Why are you..."

"Holy shit, why is there a zombie here?!"

Sherry Renner had no idea what was going on. She had just gotten home when Wayne Warner rushed back from outside, slung her over his shoulder, and brought her here.

And trailing behind them were several of Sherry Renner’s colleagues.

"...Sorry, it was a bit of an emergency."

Nina Jacobs had forgotten that Wayne Warner didn’t talk to other people.

As the first witness, Nina Jacobs accompanied Sherry Renner to the Punishment Bureau, which was also Sherry’s workplace.

The full name of the Punishment Bureau was the Criminal Execution General Bureau, responsible for investigating and trying cases of all sizes within the base, as well as detaining prisoners.

After she had clearly explained the entire sequence of events, Sherry Renner and the others all looked at Treasure.

"This dog is incredible, being able to smell that from so far away."

York had also rushed back.

He was followed by many members of the base’s security patrol.

A zombie appearing in the base was a major incident.

"We’re already conducting a full-scale search of the base. So far, we haven’t found anyone else who’s been infected," a captain from the security patrol said.

"That’s good. Thank you for your hard work. You can leave the rest to us."

York saw the security patrol off.

He couldn’t resist patting Treasure’s big head.

"You said you also found a Gold Spike?" York asked Sherry Renner.

"Yes, this is it. I’m afraid it’s related to that other case."
