After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: The Target Wasn’t Them

As if sensing Nina Jacobs’s urgency, Wayne Warner followed close behind.

"It was my mistake. She might not be the real Sheila Rhodes," Nina Jacobs said as she drove.

It seemed that saying it aloud was the only way to ease her growing anxiety.

Back then, Zoe Morgan had introduced them all as students from J High School, so they’d jumped to the conclusion that the Sheila Rhodes with them was a student, too.

Plus, with Chase Gallagher’s attention on her due to her connection to Warren Rhodes, and her own confirmation of her identity, they had become completely convinced.

’Now that I think about it, maybe ’Sheila Rhodes’ has been lying to us from the start.’

’But then what did that note mean?’

After setting the destination on her system’s map, Nina Jacobs floored it.

It was a small landing pad in the suburbs.

It wasn’t too far from the base.

When Nina Jacobs arrived, her heart sank.

Several vehicles had been destroyed. The scene was littered with bloodstains and clear signs of a struggle.

The helicopter’s tail had been blown off.

But there wasn’t a single person in sight on the entire landing pad.

"No people, no bodies. They should still be alive."

Nina Jacobs activated her Five Senses Enhancement, closing her eyes to scan her surroundings.

At the same time, the pungent stench of blood filled her nostrils.

When Nina Jacobs took off in one direction, Wayne Warner was right behind her.

Inside a bungalow surrounded by zombies.

Chase Gallagher and the others were about to fight their way out when they heard the crackling of flames and felt waves of intense heat from outside.

Chase Gallagher peered through a crack in the window, a jolt of joyful surprise running through him when he saw the two figures outside.

"Another powerful Mutated Zombie?"

Samson Thorne had only sustained minor injuries.

If Chase Gallagher hadn’t used his Speed Element Superpower to carry him out, he would have been eaten by a powerful Mutated Zombie.

But he also knew there were too many zombies outside. The door wouldn’t hold for much longer.

Charging out might give them a sliver of a chance, but casualties would be inevitable.

If another Mutated Zombie showed up, their chances of survival would be slim.

"Don’t worry, everyone. It’s reinforcements,"

Chase Gallagher said.

"Reinforcements already?"

A few members of the rescue team were in disbelief.

It had been less than twenty minutes since they were first ambushed and forced to hide in here.

’Reinforcements from the base are this fast?’

However, when they looked out the window, they saw only two people.

One was a Fire Element Superpower User.

A young woman, and a tall man.

They stood back-to-back, not looking the least bit nervous.

The horde of zombies outside the bungalow had completely swamped them, their numbers so dense that the two figures vanished from sight.

But just two seconds later, an incredibly powerful wave of heat blasted all the surrounding zombies away!

BOOM!

The shockwave even made the dilapidated bungalow tremble.

The horde of zombies was now writhing in a sea of flames.

A zombie, completely engulfed in flames, tried to lunge at the pair, but the tall man smashed its head in with a single punch.

Chase Gallagher threw open the door, ready to charge out with the others who could still fight and clear out the remaining zombies.

But Nina Jacobs had already summoned a Fire Serpent. The massive, dragon-like serpent roared as it lunged at the remaining zombies!

The shrieking instantly ceased.

Chase Gallagher could tell Nina Jacobs was in a hurry.

"They weren’t targeting us. No one’s dead,

Mr. Thorne and a few others are lightly injured, but...

Holden went after them alone,"

Chase Gallagher said.

Their target was Sheila Rhodes. He had wanted to go after them, but protecting Samson Thorne was also part of the mission Nina Jacobs had given him.

Plus, Holden Shaw had insisted on protecting Sheila Rhodes, so the two of them had no choice but to split up.

Nina Jacobs’s heart sank.

"Which way did they go?"

"Northwest. But what in the world is going on?

Why were we ambushed?"

Chase Gallagher was completely bewildered.

They were ambushed the moment they arrived at the landing pad.

There were fewer than ten of them, but every single one was a powerful Superpower User. They had also planted explosives in advance, which was why their side had been caught at a disadvantage.
