After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Spiritual Element Zombie

"Feel free to ask me anything."

Reginald Sutton had also taken a quick bath, though he felt a pang of regret as he poured out the basin of black water.

’He even considered filtering and reusing it.’

"Are there any other places suitable for survival near Lornwood Base?"

After Nina Jacobs asked, the others were all stunned.

It seemed none of them had expected someone to ask such a question.

"There are, actually. Keldorn has always been a sparsely populated area, so it’s not hard to find a place with fewer zombies."

Tobin said he was a local.

He took out a pen and paper from the table and began to draw on it. "There are buildings in these three directions from the base, and the zombies nearby were cleared out by the old base commander and his team a few months ago..."

"But it’s not inside the base, after all. Zombies could show up at any time,"

Tobin said.

"I’m not familiar with Keldorn. If you’re heading back to the base, could I trouble you to lead the way?

I’ll pay you for your trouble,"

Nina Jacobs asked.

"That’s not difficult at all. You’ve already helped us so much, how could we let you pay us on top of that?"

Cordelia also wondered why Nina Jacobs was asking such a question.

But Nina Jacobs didn’t explain, and Cordelia didn’t dare to ask bluntly.

’She guessed it was probably because of Lexy. If Lexy was discovered inside the base, there were only two possible outcomes.

Either death or confiscation.’

"Alright then. We’ll set out tomorrow.

I’ll be responsible for your water and supplies for the journey,"

Nina Jacobs stated.

She didn’t know the state of Cordelia’s group’s supplies, but she knew they were short on water.

Although Rhonda Rowan and the other two were still injured, by tomorrow, the diluted Healing Potion should have them mostly recovered.

As long as they avoided strenuous activity on the road, they would be fine.

But before leaving, there was one more place she had to go.

「In the pitch-black basement.」

Zombies stood silently, one after another. The sounds emanating from the bottom of their rotting throats indicated they were still alive.

Yet their movements were as if restrained by something. Even when sounds echoed, they remained standing there, completely still.

There were over four hundred such zombies.

A small mouse even stood on the shoulder of one of the zombies.

A low roar came from the room at the far end, and the hundreds of zombies began to move in succession.

Their target was the same, and they moved in unison toward that room.

Just then, Wayne Warner kicked open a door.

The two of them walked into a room that reeked of corpses and rot.

To be precise, it must have been an office before.

A figure was sitting behind the desk at the front of the office.

The figure was leaning back in a chair, its back to them.

Nina Jacobs used her Gold Element Superpower to turn the chair around.

It wasn’t a normal chair, but a metal wheelchair.

Sitting in the wheelchair was a zombie. It only had an upper body, no legs.

ROAR!

The zombie roared at them.

"So you’re the one controlling the zombies outside. Are you trying to get them to save you now?"

At that moment, a raging fire was already burning outside the door.

It was the Fire Element Superpower trap she had set before coming in.

Wayne Warner was currently guarding the entrance. If any zombies that weren’t burned to death managed to break in, he would finish them off.

Nina Jacobs looked at the piles of white bones on the ground around them.

The legless zombie before her had to be the Spiritual Element zombie that could control others of its kind.

Although a Spiritual Element Superpower was special, in the early stages, it had no self-defense or offensive capabilities.

Nina Jacobs guessed that the traps in Veridia Town had also been made by it controlling other zombies.

Its purpose was to bring back humans who fell into the traps for it to feast on.

This was to ensure its own survival.

Because it had limited mobility and lacked the ability to fight humans itself.
