After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Well-Prepared

"Is that so?"

Nina Jacobs understood.

He’d confessed everything he was going to, so there was no longer a need for forceful methods.

But Hugo Crawford could still be hiding something. And with Melody Barron dead, it was possible that there were some supply caches only she had known about.

However, since she’d already accepted Zero-Cost Looting Mission 43, she decided to collect the supplies there first before anything else.

Unsure of what might happen, Nina Jacobs set out alone early the next morning.

If she had enough time, she would rendezvous with Wayne Warner and the others afterward.

[Apocalypse Survival Mission Initiated: Zero-Cost Looting Mission 43]

[Mission Objective: In one day, the supplies on the third basement level of Zenith Plaza will be destroyed by fire. To prevent this waste, clear out 90% of the supplies in the garage.]

[Mission Reward: 1 System Storage Slot, +150 Experience Points.]

[Mission Difficulty: ★★★★★]

She had accepted the mission last night, which meant the one-day deadline was today.

Nina had a feeling that this mission wouldn’t go smoothly, but she never expected to find a group of people already surrounding Zenith Plaza when she arrived.

The supplies inside Zenith Plaza had been completely cleared out by the City D rescue team back during the shelter era.

’Why would there be people here now?’

’Could it be the disbanded Crawford Army?’

Uncertain, Nina used her Speed Element Superpower to slip into the second floor of the mall through another entrance.

The mall was devoid of zombies.

Looking out from a broken glass window on the second floor, she saw that several vehicles had surrounded the entrance to the underground garage.

The garage entrance itself was blocked by a thick plastic sheet and a metal roll-up door.

’Not people from City D?’

Nina noticed that the license plates on the parked cars weren’t from City D.

Of course, license plates didn’t prove anything.

A few Little Zombie Rats scurried into the mall’s ventilation ducts.

A moment later, Nina began to receive information from the rats.

Their vision was blurry, but she could still make out what was happening below.

A large group of people was in the first-level basement garage, killing zombies.

Those zombies must have been deliberately locked on the first basement level to drive off intruders and prevent anyone from discovering the supply garage deeper down.

’Who on earth are these people?’

There were at least 200 of them, and they worked with decent coordination while killing the zombies, even using silenced firearms.

They had clearly come prepared.

"...Pick up the pace, before someone finds us."

Nina heard an unfamiliar man’s voice.

Through the rat’s blurry vision, she could see several people behind him.

"So what if we’re discovered? We’re the ones clearing out the zombies. Are you saying we should just hand the supplies over to someone else?"

That voice was strangely familiar. Nina felt like she’d heard it somewhere before.

"Irene, this is City D.

Getting discovered wouldn’t be good. But if there really are supplies here, we’ll have hit the jackpot."

After speaking, the man pulled the trigger several more times in quick succession.

Several zombies collapsed.

"Kael, your marksmanship is getting more and more incredible!

You killed so many zombies just like that, even without a Superpower."

Irene Palmer praised from the sidelines as screams erupted from up ahead.

’Kael Dolan, Irene Palmer?’

’So it’s them.’

Nina understood now.

The voice had sounded familiar because she had met Irene Palmer from City F when they were collecting solar panels.

She just hadn’t expected Kael Dolan to be here as well.

’What are they doing in City D?’

’Is it just to collect the supplies here?’

Others called him The Fiend, the epitome of the ’better you than me’ philosophy. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
