After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Find a Way to Find Her

The woman stared at Nina Jacobs in shock.

The glaring flames rising in the distance happened to block everyone’s view.

She glanced around and asked, "Can we still escape now?"

"I can cover you, but someone has to stay here to hold them off," Nina Jacobs replied.

The woman’s face turned deathly pale at Nina Jacobs’s words, but she knew a sacrifice was inevitable.

About ten minutes later, a dense mist suddenly filled the air.

The mist obscured everyone’s vision. Even Anselm Hughes, standing on high ground, frowned. "Cecily Wells!"

"Yes!"

Cecily Wells immediately activated her Wind Element Superpower. As the mist was gradually blown away, someone shouted:

"They’re making a run for it!"

"Trying to run?

I’ll find out who sent you today if it’s the last thing I do!"

Through the mist, Anselm Hughes led his men in pursuit.

"There are more of them running that way!"

The scent of blood in the night had already started to attract zombies.

"You all stay here and protect the supplies. I’ll go after the rest."

Nina Jacobs said, then gave chase with Wayne Warner under the cover of night.

Cecily Wells had wanted to follow, but seeing all the supply vehicles still there and the zombies that had been drawn in, she had no choice but to stay with the remaining people and kill the zombies first.

In a distant grove of withered trees, Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner walked in.

"All right, you can come out now."

Nina Jacobs said, facing the spot where the scent of blood was thickest.

A group of people emerged, supporting one another.

In the darkness, their expressions were grim as they all watched Nina Jacobs with wary eyes.

"Who in the world are you?

Why did you let us go?"

Dylan Dixon asked.

"Because I want to know what you’ve found. If you’re willing to share information, not only will I let you go, but I can also heal him."

Nina Jacobs pointed to a man being carried on someone’s back.

The man had been struck by several Gold Spikes and looked like he was on the verge of death.

"What do you want to know?"

At that, another man beside Dylan Dixon stepped forward.

"Who is the person behind Anselm Hughes? Where is he? Or rather, who are these supplies ultimately for?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

"Are you from Crestfall, too?"

Dylan Dixon couldn’t help but ask.

Nina Jacobs shook her head. "I’m not, but I have a friend from there who’s helping me now."

After hearing Nina Jacobs, the man hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"The person behind Anselm Hughes isn’t at Lornwood Base. According to our investigation, they originally came from a place called White Village. There was a powerful clan in the village where everyone shared the surname White. Anselm Hughes was originally a son-in-law of this White Family. The entire White Family is behind him, but they later moved, and no one knows where they went. We’ve been to White Village—it’s completely in ruins now."

’White Village is already gone?’ 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Nina Jacobs felt a pang of regret. She had originally planned to investigate White Village herself.

"We tracked their supply convoy, but they just loaded the supplies onto a train and left. There was no one on that train, yet it was able to leave on its own. It had to go through mountains and tunnels, so our people couldn’t follow it," Dylan Dixon added.

’So mysterious?’

"Even if you kill Anselm Hughes, it will be useless. It will just alert the enemy," Nina Jacobs said.

"Anselm Hughes nearly wiped out our people from Crestfall. How could we possibly let him go!" one of the men burst out.

"You said it yourselves; he’s just a son-in-law of the White Family. The true culprits are undoubtedly connected to the White Family. If Anselm Hughes dies now, you might never catch the masterminds."

The men found her words hard to believe.
