After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 442

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Julia Hughes

On the dust-blown road, Zoraida pressed her face against the car window, her expression full of curiosity as she gazed outside.

It had been a very, very long time since she had last ridden in a car.

Ever since Isabella Ramsey had brought her and her sister to Lornwood Base, she hadn’t once stepped outside its walls.

And now, she was finally going to be reunited with her sister, Naomi Summers...

"Reginald, thank you so much for your help back there," a man with a bandaged hand said to Reginald Sutton, who was at the wheel.

Their group had left the moment Lornwood Base lifted its lockdown this morning.

Their destination was Tomorrow Base.

However, with no gasoline, they had been forced to travel on foot.

They had encountered zombies constantly along the way. Just as they were being chased by a horde, a vehicle had sped up from behind, plowed right through the zombies, and taken them in.

"Don’t mention it. We’ll all be at the same base soon. It’s only right that we help each other."

Reginald Sutton was driving a minibus, which already carried a few Superpower Users. It was a tight squeeze, but there was enough room for everyone.

"Actually, if you’d gone just a little farther, you probably would have found a pickup vehicle. But there have been a lot more zombies out here lately."

Cordelia sat next to Zoraida.

Nina Jacobs had received a new mission from General Hughes and would be leaving the base for a few days.

Before she left, she’d had the two of them escort Zoraida and Lexy back to Tomorrow Base.

This was also for their own safety. After all, Lornwood Base was likely about to descend into total chaos.

"A pickup vehicle? From Tomorrow Base?"

Melody Morgan recognized Cordelia. As fellow Space Element Superpower Users, they had previously taken on side jobs together at the base, helping people transport supplies.

She hadn’t seen Cordelia in a long time. Now that Cordelia had returned, Melody felt that something about her seemed different.

"That’s right. They just can’t get too close to Lornwood Base, so it’s normal that most people don’t know about it," Cordelia replied.

Felix Finch had arranged for vehicles and drivers on all the roads leading to Tomorrow Base, for the sole purpose of helping survivors reach the base safely.

Just then, the minibus screeched to a halt. Several Mutated Zombies had appeared out of nowhere and were lunging at the vehicle!

"Mutated Zombies! Everyone, be careful!"

Chaos erupted inside the vehicle for a moment, but several Superpower Users reacted quickly, scrambling out and onto the roof.

Cordelia also took out her sniper rifle, opened one of the vehicle’s built-in firing ports, and started shooting.

Lately, she had spent all her time either with Nina Jacobs or practicing her aim. Her marksmanship had become impeccable.

Reginald Sutton leaped from the bus as well, directing several Flowing Light Daggers to cut down the zombies.

The daggers were a gift from Nina Jacobs before they departed. The nine skilled Superpower Users they’d just picked up were part of her arrangements, too.

Nina had used supplies to hire them from Lornwood Base.

The crisis was resolved quickly, but just as they thought they were clear, another horde of zombies appeared up ahead and to their left.

Cordelia was about to pull out the rocket launcher Nina Jacobs had given her, but she relaxed when she spotted another vehicle approaching in the distance.

"Who are those people?" someone asked in surprise.

A number of uniformed people were getting out of the vehicle and had already started killing the newly appeared zombie horde.

"They’re the escort team."

Reginald Sutton started the minibus again and drove toward them.

A flash of lightning blazed up ahead, followed by a sudden explosion.

A cluster of zombies was instantly blown away.

When a Wind Zombie leaped into the air, Silas Crowley tossed out another small cluster of Thunder Balls. They exploded in an instant, and the Wind Zombie fell to the ground with a low growl...

Reginald Sutton and a few other Superpower Users got out to help, and within twenty minutes, the entire horde was wiped out.

"So there really is an escort team? I thought the new base was just getting started and wouldn’t have anything like this," someone on the bus said in amazement.

As soon as they finished off the zombies, the team came over to check on them. They had Healers, first-aid kits, and water.

The feeling was surreal. It was something they had never experienced back at Lornwood Base.

It felt like they were being treated like human beings.
