After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458: Chapter 458: I’ll Help You

Before the apocalypse, Whittaker Town was surrounded by green trees and all sorts of vegetation. Walking here now, however, only highlighted its decay and ruin.

All the trees had become dry, hollow husks that shattered at the slightest touch.

Various piles of lumber had been stacked on both sides of the road, but they had all since rotted away.

Amidst this decay, a vine silently emerged from the ground, inching its way toward the pair’s ankles.

"Come on out," Nina Jacobs said.

Among the forest of hollow trunks, there was a patch of crushed ground. A careful look would reveal that someone might be hiding there.

Not to mention the killing intent that was impossible to ignore.

The vine stopped in its tracks. A moment later, a familiar figure stepped out from behind a pile of rotten wood.

It was Holly Morgan.

Her gaze was filled with an unyielding hatred.

Perhaps it was the last shred of her sanity that kept her from going on a rampage.

She was clutching an incredibly sharp scalpel in her hand.

Seeing the scalpel, Nina asked:

"Do you know Harlan?"

At the mention of the name, Holly seemed to daze out for a moment.

As if trying to dig through her chaotic memories, Holly stared at the scalpel in her hand, frozen in place.

"He thinks you’re dead."

Nina watched Holly’s reaction. "And Evander Langdon. Harlan has been treating him."

"Evander..."

A flicker of astonishment appeared in Holly’s eyes, but it was overshadowed by pain.

Seeing Holly like this, Nina felt a pang of pity.

’I don’t know what she’s been through, but I’m sure it was all against her will.’

So she changed the subject. "You ran away because you want to kill Flynn White, right?"

Sure enough, upon hearing Flynn White’s name, killing intent once again filled Holly’s eyes.

"How about I help you?"

Nina asked.

’I don’t know how strong Holly is, but I’ve fought Flynn White before. It won’t be easy for her to kill an Intermediate Superpower User on her own.’

Holly lifted her head and said, "Kill... kill him. Kill them all!"

"Alright. We’ll kill them all."

With that, Nina continued walking in a specific direction.

Holly followed her until Nina stopped in front of a wall.

She placed her hand on the wall, and a narrow door immediately appeared.

"Let’s go. No one’s here for now,"

Nina said.

The Puppet Guards had all been locked up.

The people who replaced them numbered less than fifty.

This meant there were definitely undefended spots they could get through.

She knew this place was unguarded thanks to her Little Zombie Rat scouting ahead.

Seeing Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner go inside, Holly quickly followed.

Outside the walls of Whittaker Town, there was once a dense forest, but it had since been transformed into a forest of jagged stone.

"Judging by the time, he should be back soon.

Now, we just have to wait for him to show up."

For Nina, with her Earth Element Superpower, this stone forest was the perfect environment, like a fish in water.

Flynn White had gone to hunt down the escaped Puppet Guards.

Meanwhile, she had placed her Little Zombie Rats in various positions throughout the entire stone forest.

No matter which direction he appeared from, the Little Zombie Rats would spot him immediately.

"You can borrow this for now."

Nina produced an incredibly sharp, wooden-hilted blade from out of nowhere.

Holly looked down at the blade. It was inlaid with a wood grain pattern, and its edge reflected a cold light.

Holding it, she could almost feel the Wood Energy coursing through the blade.

"It’s called a Wood Grain Blade. You can activate it with a Wood Element Superpower,"

Nina explained.

It was one of the weapon rewards the System had given her back in the correction pod. She had several more of these Wood-attribute Wood Grain Blades in her inventory.
