After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Out of the Hole

Before leaving the next morning, Nina Jacobs gave Mordecai Quinn two things.

One was the photograph she had picked up on the mountain.

"This is... a photo of me and my dad. How did you get it?"

Mordecai Quinn had thought he would never find this precious photograph again.

"Atticus and his group dropped it when they fled that day."

Nina Jacobs replied.

"Thanks. And what’s this?"

Mordecai Quinn was also holding a grayish-black stone.

Holding the stone gave him a strange sensation.

"It seems you haven’t heard of it yet?"

Nina Jacobs wasn’t surprised. After all, in her past life, it wasn’t until the second year of the apocalypse that Drakonians learned of the Mystic Ice Core’s existence.

After she explained the general purpose of the Mystic Ice Core to Mordecai Quinn, his eyes filled with shock.

"This is so valuable."

’She was actually willing to give it to him.’

His voice was choked with emotion.

"You can find a safe place to absorb it. Just consider it a favor you owe me."

’Such a valuable item, and she had several thousand more...’

The huge progress on her system upgrade and the intel on the Ziegler Family were all thanks to Mordecai Quinn.

She felt it was worth giving him one.

"This is more than just a favor. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I’d give my life for it."

Mordecai Quinn badly wanted to ask her to stay.

But he knew she still had things she wanted to do.

He didn’t know what those things were, nor where she was going next.

"Let’s go. I hope we can both accomplish our goals today."

Nina Jacobs was already walking out the door.

Meridia Base placed great importance on this day’s operation.

Therefore, they dispatched a large number of Superpower Users. Although Mordecai Quinn had invited her to join them, she and Wayne Warner still drove a separate SUV, following behind the convoy.

"They’re on our tail now. If we fall behind later, don’t worry about us."

Nina Jacobs said to Mordecai Quinn ahead of them, speaking privately over the walkie-talkie.

"Do you need me to send a few people to help you secretly?" Mordecai Quinn asked anyway.

"No need. Don’t worry, there aren’t many of them."

Back at Meridia Base, Nina Jacobs had already clearly felt someone staring at her.

It was an awareness that came from her Five Senses Enhancement.

Now, she deliberately drove slowly, even letting a gap open up between her and the vehicle ahead.

After the convoy had navigated a few turns on the winding mountain road, Mordecai Quinn noticed that Nina Jacobs’ vehicle was no longer behind them.

"Are you worried about those two?"

Daniel Lewis, who was beside him, asked. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Mordecai Quinn had been watching the SUV behind them for the entire trip.

He and Mordecai Quinn had been through life-and-death situations together many times, and he’d never seen him act like this.

He’d turned his head to look back a hundred times on this trip alone.

"Should we send a few people back to check on them?" Daniel Lewis finally asked, unable to take it anymore.

"No need."

Mordecai Quinn frowned.

She had just emphasized repeatedly not to interfere under any circumstances.

Otherwise, her plan to lure the snake out of its hole would be for nothing.

Meanwhile, Nina Jacobs was forced to get out of her vehicle.

Their car had gotten a flat tire.

"How strange. It was perfectly fine a moment ago."

Nina Jacobs crouched down to inspect the tire.

It had clearly been caused by a Gold Element Superpower.

’Looks like someone was already lying in ambush here.’

When she stood up, she found that she and Wayne Warner were surrounded by a circle of people.

There were over twenty of them. Nina Jacobs recognized three of them; she remembered Mordecai Quinn saying they were experts trained by the Ziegler Family.

Zachary Ziegler stepped out of a car.

"You’re the one who hurt my sister, aren’t you? Did Mordecai Quinn put you up to it?"
