After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Natural Hostility

"They’re their food," Nina Jacobs said.

If we’d fallen for their trap, we probably would’ve been dragged into this sand pit too.

"It seems they’ve found us."

Marcus Miller saw several motionless beetles twist their bodies to face their direction.

The mutant beetles had numerous, powerful legs. One of them, a nine-legged specimen, was already charging toward them!

"Perfect."

As Nina Jacobs spoke, the sand pit was instantly enclosed by walls of sand and gravel under her Control.

There were over thirty mutant beetles. Killing them would complete half her mission right then and there.

BANG!

The nine-legged beetle crashed into the wall.

Its sharp antennae tore a gash in the wall, but it instantly repaired itself.

The mutant beetles in the sand pit had all entered a combat state.

Streaks of Thunder Element Superpower coiled along the edge of the pit.

Any beetle that touched the wall was immediately zapped by the Thunder Element Superpower.

"If they can’t get out, then let’s just wipe them all out."

As Adrian Shaw spoke, his Thunder Element Superpower formed a blue blade that shot toward one of the beetles with a ZAP!

At that moment, the largest mutant beetle in the center seemed to be enraged, and it actually spread its carapaced wings and took flight!

A volley of Gold Spikes shot down at the group from midair.

"A Gold Element Superpower, too?"

Leo Hale quickly formed a Metal Shield, blocking the attack from above for the group.

The giant mutant beetle was not a flying species and clearly couldn’t stay airborne for long. After landing, it charged at them again!

Several Stone Spikes erupted from the ground, just in time to block its advance.

BANG!

Wayne Warner blocked the mutant beetle with his bare hands. Seizing the opportunity, a Diamond Sand Spike appeared in midair and pierced firmly into the gap between the beetle’s two shells.

The mutant beetle let out a sharp, piercing shriek.

Nina Jacobs didn’t give it time to struggle. Flames suddenly erupted from the Diamond Sand Spike and, with a WHOOSH, enveloped it!

Mission progress: +1.

After dealing with the largest one, Nina Jacobs and the others proceeded to kill the remaining mutant beetles in the sand pit.

"This beetle shell can’t even be burned through. It’s really good stuff."

Shirley Lucas started gathering them up again.

"You’re like a scrap collector now. You’ll pick up anything."

Adrian Shaw noticed Shirley Lucas was even collecting the Gold Spikes the mutant beetles had spat out, storing them in her space.

She also took the backpacks and belongings of some victims in the sand pit.

Just as Shirley Lucas reached for something on one of the bodies, she found herself staring into a pair of wide-open eyes.

Hearing Shirley Lucas’s scream, the group immediately grew vigilant.

"Don’t move, or I’ll kill her!"

The woman on the ground held a sharp piece of beetle antenna, her other arm wrapped tightly around Shirley Lucas’s neck.

Nina Jacobs hadn’t expected this person to still be alive.

’I couldn’t even hear her breathing a moment ago.’

"You’re a Bishop Clan Member?"

Nina Jacobs looked at the woman’s clothing and already had a strong suspicion.

"I don’t care what you’re here for! I’m not going with you!"

The woman seemed to have been injured; her face and arms were covered in bruises.

"Don’t get agitated. I just wanted to see if you had anything useful on you."

Shirley Lucas’s explanation only made her sound even less like a good person.

"We’re friends with Trevor."

After Nina Jacobs said this, she noticed the woman’s expression was indeed one of shock and confusion.

"That’s right. We’re from City D Base. We’re here to bring back the survivors of your Bishop Clan."

Adrian Shaw also explained, but the woman didn’t believe them.
