After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Still a Long Way to Go

Shirley Lucas discovered that Wayne Warner, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, could now be described as indestructible.

He was like a line of defense; whether it was a regular zombie or a Mutated Zombie, getting close simply meant death.

And Holden Shaw was performing several times faster and more ruthlessly than he had during the Superpower User tournament, which showed that he truly hadn’t been giving it his all back then.

Nina Jacobs, meanwhile, covered both the front and the flanks all by herself.

With her and the others from Stella there, a situation that should have ended with them being surrounded by zombies was gradually becoming manageable.

Trevor wasn’t idle, either. Nina Jacobs’s earlier words had been a great source of inspiration for him.

Using the Water Element to nurture the Wood Element, then pairing the Wood Element with the Ice Element—while he wasn’t very proficient with the technique yet, the results were truly extraordinary.

"They’re even more amazing than the warriors of the Bishop Clan!

Trevor is amazing, too."

Eve held Lana’s hand, her wide eyes taking in the scene around them. Even though she was young, she could still tell that Nina Jacobs and these strangers were protecting them...

"Yes, they’re warriors, too. Eve, you must remember to thank them later,"

Lana said with a smile.

Shawn had even pulled her aside to talk, worried that a team of fewer than sixty people wouldn’t be able to get them back to their clan safely.

But now, she wasn’t worried in the slightest.

She also understood that City D Base had kept the operation low-key for the sake of the Bishop Clan’s future.

The group repelled the zombie siege on three sides without suffering a single casualty.

However, they now faced another problem.

The road ahead of them was destroyed.

Adrian Shaw led everyone to the chasm. A flicker of regret crossed his face when he saw the scene below.

It was an earthen pit less than two meters deep.

Piled inside were skeletal remains that had been gnawed clean.

They must have been survivors who were passing through and fell into the trap.

"It’s a good thing we’re the ones who ran into this Sentient Zombie. Otherwise, who knows how many more people would have died here."

Shirley Lucas began using her Space Superpower to collect the broken rocks and chunks of earth from the roadside.

If they wanted to get through, they had to fill in the pit.

"All Earth Element Superpower Users, over here."

After giving the order, Adrian Shaw had Shirley Lucas take out some warning signs from her space and post them around the area.

This was to prevent another Earth Element zombie from using the area to harm people in the future.

"The base still has a long way to go," Adrian Shaw said.

City D was massive; who knew how many more dangerous, uncleared areas like this one still remained.

"Hey, man. You’re with Stella, too? How come I never saw you compete?"

Beckett Abbott couldn’t resist striking up a conversation with the silent Wayne Warner, who was standing off to the side.

The last time he’d seen Wayne Warner, at the golf course, the man had needed Nina Jacobs’s support just to walk.

He never imagined Wayne would become this powerful.

However, Wayne Warner seemed to have no intention of responding. When he saw Nina Jacobs get into a vehicle, he followed her.

"Don’t mind him, he’s a little different from the rest of us," Leo Hale explained.

"No wonder he didn’t compete."

Beckett Abbott would bet that if Wayne Warner had competed in the tournament, all the Strength Element Superpower Users at the base would have gotten fired up.

After all, Holden Shaw’s performance alone had inspired all the Speed Element Superpower Users at the base, and many teams had started aggressively recruiting them...

According to the day’s plan, they were supposed to rest in a village south of City D.

But there had been too many unexpected incidents along the way. Seeing that it was getting late, Nina Jacobs suggested they stop for the day.

Many of the rescue team members had already exhausted their Superpowers.

"Okay. There should be an abandoned motel up ahead," Adrian Shaw said, though he didn’t know if it was dangerous inside.

"Let’s go check it out."

Shirley Lucas had also studied the map and the surrounding area; the other nearby buildings were either completely collapsed or too exposed to the elements.
