After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Luring the Snake

Eleanor Ziegler never imagined she would be locked in a cage in front of everyone.

She tried to shatter the cage with her Wood Element Vines and wood thorns, but found they were instantly incinerated the moment they touched the rays of fire.

Eleanor Ziegler didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if her own body touched them.

Wails echoed all around her. The men she’d brought had all been beaten to a pulp by the Strength Element Superpower User.

"Do you have any idea who I am? Let me out!"

Eleanor Ziegler snarled.

"You have five seconds. Apologize, or you’ll die."

Nina Jacobs slowly began to count.

With every number she counted, the cage shrank.

"It hurts!"

Eleanor Ziegler’s eyes widened as she watched the rays of fire inch closer and closer.

And at Nina Jacobs, who stood outside the cage.

’She’s not kidding!’ There wasn’t a trace of warmth in her eyes.

"Three... two..."

"I apologize! I apologize!

I was the one who offended you both today! I-I’m sorry!"

An unprecedented wave of humiliation washed over her. Never in her life had Eleanor Ziegler been so wronged.

A smile played on Nina Jacobs’s lips.

With a wave of her hand, she dismissed the fiery cage.

But just as she turned to leave, a wood thorn shot toward her back!

"Go to hell!" Eleanor Ziegler shrieked.

"I guess you’re just shameless."

Nina Jacobs had suspected Eleanor Ziegler wouldn’t let it go, but she hadn’t expected her to lose her composure so quickly.

WHOOSH!

A Fire Serpent shot past the wood thorn and swiftly coiled around Eleanor Ziegler.

Eleanor Ziegler’s blood-curdling scream echoed instantly.

"Stop!"

A man arrived just in time and immediately ordered the several Water Element Superpower Users behind him to put out the flames on Eleanor Ziegler.

Nina Jacobs had only used twenty percent of her power to create that Fire Serpent.

And yet, it still took several Water Element Superpower Users a great deal of effort to extinguish it.

The reason she didn’t kill her was to lure the snake from its hole.

After all, in this life, she supposedly didn’t know Zachary Ziegler.

By now, Eleanor Ziegler had already fainted from the pain.

Her body was covered in horrific, massive blisters and burns.

"Who did this?! Who is responsible for this!"

Aaron Fletcher stared in shock. He had rushed over the moment he received the report.

He never expected to find Eleanor Ziegler burned to this state.

If he’d been a second later, she would undoubtedly be dead.

’Who on earth would be so bold?!’

"Fletcher, it was them... it was the two of them who..."

A man who had been kicked against a wall by Wayne Warner spoke, clutching his abdomen in agony.

His ribs were likely broken. With a trembling finger, he pointed at Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner.

"Men, take them into custody!"

Aaron Fletcher knew this wasn’t the place for a discussion.

Eleanor Ziegler was a successor from the direct line of the Ziegler Family. Now that she had been injured so severely here, he had to bring the culprits back to give the Zieglers an explanation.

Otherwise, he feared he’d be the one they’d come looking for.

"Everyone, stop. Don’t touch them."

A familiar voice rang out, and everyone, including Aaron Fletcher, looked astonished.

The newcomer was none other than the Base Commander, Mordecai Quinn.

Mordecai Quinn was known for never making public appearances, let alone intervening on someone’s behalf.

"Mordecai Quinn, they’ve seriously injured Eleanor Ziegler!"

Aaron Fletcher said.

Mordecai Quinn, however, ignored him. He walked straight up to Nina Jacobs. "Are you two hurt?"

"No, we were just defending ourselves."

Nina Jacobs replied.

She was curious to see how Mordecai Quinn would handle this.

Or rather, what position he would take now that he had supplies.
