After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Coming in a Group

The rescue team had also signed up for the Superpower User tournament.

However, they had the right to skip the first round, where 25 out of 50 contestants would advance.

So, Chester Pearson and his team didn’t need to stay and watch the matches.

"Are you all from the rescue team?"

Claire Warner feigned ignorance.

Besides Chester Pearson, over a dozen other captains, including Levi Stone and Patrick Phelps, had come.

They had come here as a group.

"Of course."

Chester Pearson even introduced everyone to Claire Warner one by one.

He even showed her each of their captain’s credentials.

"..."

Nina Jacobs thought for a moment.

There were twelve captains in total.

That meant she needed to sell 1,200 bottles of Blood Stopping Spray at once.

This was a big deal, and it would give the system a lot of Experience Points.

She had also heard from Daniel Hale that with many Superpower User teams staying inside the base to prepare for the tournament, the zombie population around the perimeter was likely to surge.

This would put the rescue team under considerable pressure.

Yesterday alone, seventy or eighty members of the rescue team had been killed.

No wonder Chester Pearson had gathered so many captains to buy Blood Stopping Spray.

"Okay."

Claire Warner nodded in reply.

Chester Pearson breathed a sigh of relief. "See? I told you Warner was a class act."

With a wave of her hand, Claire Warner produced several neatly packed boxes of Blood Stopping Spray.

After she collected the Crystal Cores that Chester Pearson had his men bring out, the system immediately sent a notification:

[Host’s action detected. This will save 311 human lives in the coming days. "Selfless Savior" title triggered. Reward: 311 bottles of Healing Potion.]

’That many?’

Nina Jacobs’s eyes darkened.

’It seems the area around the base is really getting more and more dangerous...’

"Not going to the base to watch the tournament?"

Seeing that Claire Warner had accepted the Crystal Cores without even counting them, Chester Pearson asked with a curious smile.

For some reason, the more he looked at Claire Warner, the more he felt a sense of familiarity.

It wasn’t a familiarity with her appearance.

It was more of a feeling.

It was like they were old friends, though he just chalked it up to good chemistry.

Claire Warner shook her head. "I’m not going. I don’t really like watching competitions."

"Warner, you should be careful out here. The area around the base might not be safe for the next few days."

Levi Stone added as a warning before he left.

The rescue team took the Blood Stopping Spray and left in a hurry. It seemed they were in dire need of it.

Nina Jacobs checked the time. There were less than two hours left on her Facial Adjustment Skill’s cooldown. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Two hours later, Nina Jacobs walked out of an abandoned factory far from the base.

It took over an hour to get here from the base.

But to avoid being followed, Nina Jacobs didn’t mind the trouble.

She took out her SUV again and opened the system map.

The map showed a congested road nearby, which likely meant a high concentration of zombies.

She planned to go there to practice her Superpower.

After setting the destination, Nina Jacobs drove over.

She had spawned plenty of Little Zombie Rats recently; it would be a waste not to use her Superpower.

Nina Jacobs discovered that the congested road section on the system map was getting longer and longer.

It even turned red.

This must be a sign that the number of zombies there was increasing.

’Could there be people there?’

Nina Jacobs wondered if it might be the rescue team from the base.

After all, this place was remote; ordinary teams wouldn’t dare venture out this far.

She wasn’t wrong. There really were people there.

But judging from the parked vehicles, it didn’t seem to be the rescue team.

Zombies at the back of the horde were still pressing toward the center of the street.

It wasn’t just the zombies; Nina Jacobs could also smell the thick stench of blood in the air.

Spotting a row of townhouses nearby, Nina Jacobs climbed a staircase in the corner to get a better view.

In the center of the street, the bodies of zombies were piled up like a small mountain.
