After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Vertical Ladder

Leo Hale had never stood somewhere this high before.

Even though he used to go bungee jumping all the time.

"Perhaps this gentleman should head back first?"

Naji said with a shake of his head, seeing Leo Hale’s reaction.

"A little height like this is nothing. I’m totally fine."

Leo Hale said with a strained laugh.

’He couldn’t let anyone look down on him.’

Nina Jacobs scanned her surroundings. She realized this wasn’t the cliff edge the Little Zombie Rat had passed last night.

It was flanked by rock faces, and the entrance was extremely narrow, almost as if it had been deliberately left that way.

"This is the fastest way down to the base of the cliff. The whole descent takes about an hour."

Trevor walked over and explained that they had already carved a series of steps into the rock face. Though the steps were vertical, two sturdy ropes were fixed on either side.

"If you’re scared, Nina, I can help."

Trevor said earnestly, looking at Nina Jacobs.

"It’s fine. I can manage."

Nina Jacobs inspected the two ropes and found them to be incredibly sturdy.

They were made of several professional-grade climbing ropes twisted together with thick iron chains.

’As long as I hold on tight and watch my step, there shouldn’t be a problem.’

"Trevor, we’re heading down first."

Naji and his two companions were already gripping the ropes and rappelling down with practiced, skillful movements.

"If you’re afraid of heights, you can wait here."

Nina Jacobs found a few pairs of gloves and handed them to Jessica Vance and the others.

"Don’t worry, we’ll all be fine."

Holden Shaw said.

He was a Speed Element Superpower User. Nina Jacobs had previously taught him how to use his Speed Element Superpower to move rapidly across vertical surfaces, so this height was no challenge for him.

The same went for Jessica Vance and Chase Gallagher. As Wind Element Superpower Users, they both had an advantage at high altitudes.

"I’ll go first, then you."

The only one who seemed like a cause for concern was Leo Hale. Nina Jacobs had him position himself above her so she could help at a moment’s notice if there was any danger.

Below Nina Jacobs was Wayne Warner.

And it went without saying for Adrian Shaw, Shirley Lucas, and the rescue team members who had come along—they were all professionally trained.

The stone steps on the rock face were narrow and short. Nina Jacobs could see that Naji’s group of three was already far below them.

A gust of wind blew past, making the ropes sway back and forth. Leo Hale gripped them tightly, his calves starting to tremble involuntarily.

"Relax your body. Let your arms and legs do the work."

Nina Jacobs reminded him.

The plants and trees on both sides of the cliff face had been corroded or even weathered away, but with no obstructions, the view was quite open.

Nina Jacobs continued down at a steady pace, observing her surroundings.

Until Greg Unger’s voice drifted up from below.

It turned out there was a ledge halfway down the cliff, which Trevor’s group usually used as a resting platform.

"We’re already halfway there. Pretty fast, huh?"

Greg Unger said with a smile, taking a sip of water.

"It is fast, but getting back up..."

Adrian Shaw looked up. ’This won’t be easy to climb.’

"Don’t even think about climbing back up. To get up the mountain, you have to take the conventional route."

Naji replied.

Leo Hale breathed a silent sigh of relief upon hearing that. ’He’d much rather take the long way back up the mountain...’

Shirley Lucas took some water out of her spatial storage for everyone, but Aaron Axton noticed that a trap they had set here seemed to have been triggered.

It was a large bear trap.

Aaron Axton had made it with his Gold Element Superpower while resting here previously.

The trap had been sprung, and there were bloodstains on it.

"There are scales. Probably a snake."

Aaron Axton concluded after searching the area for clues.

"Too bad. It got away."

Naji said with regret, holding up a rather large scale.

Nina Jacobs only needed one glance at the scale to be certain it wasn’t from the giant python last night.

’That python’s scales were much bigger than this one.’
