After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Enemy Attack

Anselm Hughes ignored Drake Shaw and asked,

"What do you think, Captain Jacobs? Can we still cross this bridge?"

"We can’t."

Nina Jacobs answered without hesitation.

Anselm Hughes fell silent for a moment, then finally said to everyone, "Get in the cars. We’re taking a detour."

Seraphina Chase and the others exchanged slightly surprised glances.

’General Hughes has never trusted someone like this before.’

’He actually asked a newcomer for their opinion?’

After they set off again, Cecily Wells couldn’t help but put aside her previous disdain and probing.

"You’re really something, being able to tell that was a trap."

Cecily Wells’s tone held a hint of fawning.

"I was just guessing. I thought the bridge deck would collapse, not that it would electrocute someone."

Nina Jacobs answered truthfully.

"Still, who could be so vicious as to set up a trap like that?"

Cecily Wells said as she drove.

"Well, that depends on who General Hughes might have offended."

Nina Jacobs found Cecily Wells’s words a little amusing.

’When it comes to being vicious, I’m afraid no one’s worse than Anselm Hughes and his people.’

"Who would dare cross General Hughes? They must have a death wish.

Once we’re back at the base, someone will naturally investigate and find out."

Cecily Wells said.

Nina Jacobs said no more.

’I don’t care who wants to assassinate these people, but General Hughes can’t die yet. After all, I’m getting closer and closer to the clue about the supplies.’

Just as Cecily Wells and the others had worried, the convoy hadn’t been driving for long before the sky began to darken.

They would really have to camp out in the open.

General Hughes had his men find an abandoned compound and ordered everyone to rest there for the night.

Without a Space Superpower User with a full inventory, they had no proper way to rest, yet everyone seemed accustomed to it and simply began to rest inside their vehicles.

Nina Jacobs felt a bit helpless.

Fortunately, there were only the three of them in this car. Cecily Wells seemed to have gone to find her companions, leaving only Nina and Wayne Warner.

After folding down the car seats, they could make do for a night.

Nina Jacobs secretly took out a lot of food for Wayne Warner, and ate some herself.

Although General Hughes had someone bring her some food, she only pretended to accept it and didn’t eat any.

"Captain Jacobs, there usually aren’t any zombies around here. I’ve already arranged for people to stand guard."

General Hughes spoke with Nina Jacobs for a while longer on the walkie-talkie.

Probably because of what had happened during the day, his tone sounded a little more earnest than before.

"Okay."

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, Nina Jacobs also closed her eyes.

She wasn’t sleeping. From her perspective, the dozen or so Little Zombie Rats she had just placed in the surroundings were already in position outside the compound walls.

Even though General Hughes had arranged for a night watch, she wasn’t entirely at ease.

The dangers on this road didn’t seem to come entirely from zombies.

The enemy was organized and premeditated; it was very likely a powerful organization.

’I just don’t know why they’re targeting these people.’

A thick curtain was hung in the middle of the car. After chatting with Vera Coleman for a bit, Nina Jacobs gradually fell asleep.

An unknown amount of time passed before a few blurry figures appeared in her otherwise pitch-black field of vision.

’Zombies?’

Nina Jacobs, who had been asleep, slightly opened her eyes.

The figures were still far away, and their appearances were unclear in the dark night.

However, she quickly realized they weren’t zombies.

Because the figures had already found cover and were hiding.

’Zombies don’t hide as a group.’

They were people.

This immediately put Nina Jacobs on alert.

She used her Control on one of the Little Zombie Rats, making it run along a corner toward the group of people.

Because it was night, the rat’s small figure was hard to spot, and it quickly approached them.

In the darkness, a group of people deliberately lowered their voices:

"...If only we had heavy weapons, we could just blast the hell out of them."

"If we did that, the ’bait’ in the last car would be done for too."

"So what? When Anselm Hughes schemed against our Crestfall, he didn’t give a damn about innocent people."

"Listen to you, as if you have a cannon right now."

"..."

Hearing their words, Nina Jacobs was also a little surprised.

’People from Crestfall?’

’But it doesn’t sound like it’s all of them.’
