After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: No Mutation

The cave entrance was opened by Alistair White and two Earth Element Superpower Users.

"You’re a Fire Element Superpower User. Go in and take a look."

Alistair White said, pointing to one of the men in the team.

The man was wearing only a vermilion tank top, his muscular arms tattooed with flames of various sizes.

The cave entrance was quiet after being opened. Nothing rushed out, but the inside was pitch-black.

"If I go in and find something, do I get to keep the reward?"

The man in the tank top wasn’t scared.

He knew from their journey that no matter the Mutated Animal, they all had a healthy fear of the Fire Element Superpower.

Although exploring it was dangerous, it was also an opportunity.

"It’s yours."

Alistair White replied.

"Alright, then I’ll be on my way."

The man in the tank top conjured his Fire Element Superpower in both hands, and flames erupted from his shoulders and arms.

"Wait, can we go with him?"

A few others were eager to try.

"You’re a Space Superpower User, so you can’t. The rest of you can, but you’d better not think about pulling any tricks."

Alistair White replied.

Greg Unger and Aaron Axton exchanged a look. It seemed Nina Jacobs and her group knew what was in the cave. But these outsiders didn’t look like good people, and they had no intention of warning them.

The flickering firelight, along with the figures of the volunteers, disappeared into the cave.

Shirley Lucas took the opportunity to casually chat with a man standing nearby. "Hey brother, how much is your commission?"

’Why else would they be willing to risk their lives like this?’

The man glanced at Alistair White, then thought for a moment before replying, "Enough supplies for one person for a year. What about you?"

"Us? We don’t get as much. We’re just freeloading, so we came along since there was something to gain."

Shirley Lucas replied.

’The payment from The Aegis Conclave sounds substantial.’

’But whether they’ll actually pay up is another story.’

’After all, that guy Alistair White kills so casually.’

"Doesn’t sound like there’s any movement inside. If I’d known, a few of us would’ve gone in too."

A few minutes later, the people inside the cave were still able to talk to Alistair White’s group via walkie-talkie.

Some of the people who had hesitated earlier were now starting to regret it.

"Yeah, all we have to do is find one meteorite to get the commission. I heard that old dog Lynch used to be a tomb raider. He might actually have some experience with this."

"I wonder if it’s too late to go in now..." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Listening to the crowd’s whispers, Nina Jacobs and her group understood. No wonder so many people were willing to be hired, remaining indifferent even after seeing their comrades killed.

It was because the offered terms were attractive enough. All they had to do was find a single Mystic Ice Core to complete the mission...

’It seems The Aegis Conclave is really willing to pay a high price for these Ice Cores.’

"They’re not actually going to find something, are they?"

Adrian Shaw said in a low voice.

Their equipment looked very comprehensive and high-quality.

"They’ve probably already found some."

Nina Jacobs replied.

These people were insistent on exploring the blocked cave entrance, which most likely meant they knew the Mystic Ice Cores were related to animal mutation.

In other words, they had already found some Mystic Ice Cores, just not very many.

"We got here too late."

Adrian Shaw said regretfully.

"Yeah, we are a bit late."

Nina Jacobs looked up at the gradually darkening sky.

Just then, a surprised cry suddenly came from inside the cave.

It was followed by several panicked shouts.

"What’s wrong? What did you find?" Winslow asked immediately over the walkie-talkie.

"So many... so many eyes! AHHHHH!!"

"Quick, use your Fire Element Superpower to burn it!"

"No, it’s no use! The path ahead is blocked by that thing! Run! Run back!"

A series of bloodcurdling screams echoed endlessly, and the expressions of the people outside began to turn fearful.

Alistair White stared vigilantly at the pitch-black cave entrance.
