Back in Whittaker Town, it was Han Lewis who had ultimately pointed out to her exactly where the White Family was hiding their supplies.
With Han Lewis’s amnesia, no one else would know where those supplies went.
Besides, Han Lewis’s eyes were clear now, and he spoke as articulately as anyone else. He had clearly forgotten the unpleasant experience in Whittaker Town.
"So, does this mean I’m a Superpower User, too?"
Han Lewis asked in pleasant surprise after listening to Irwing’s explanation.
Immediately after, a whole box of crackers materialized in his hand.
Han Lewis laughed out loud in delight.
"There’s more? And more! I have this much food in my space?!"
Han Lewis began pulling out supplies nonstop.
At the same time, he could now see all the supplies inside his space.
Besides all sorts of miscellaneous snacks, there were also bags of grain, boxes of crackers, instant noodles, and self-heating hot pots.
"So what you all said was true. That means you saved me. Don’t you worry. In the future, as long as your big bro has a bite to eat, you will too! Hahaha!"
Irwing noticed that Han Lewis’s memory loss wasn’t total.
He still retained his personal memories from before the zombie virus outbreak, and he even knew about the period of global acid rain.
Nina Jacobs guessed that the vast majority of the supplies in Han Lewis’s space must have been from Wendell Lynch’s private stash.
The quantity wasn’t huge, but for Han Lewis, it was probably quite a lot.
"You traded your life for those supplies, so it’s up to you how to use them. But once we get to the base, you’ll have to rely on yourself to protect them."
Nina Jacobs had no intention of taking Han Lewis’s supplies, but she was warning him to be mindful of his own safety.
Han Lewis nodded, only half understanding.
He looked at the others in the car, growing more and more curious about what had happened to him back in Whittaker Town.
"I don’t think you’d be very happy if you knew."
Irwing gave Han Lewis a sympathetic glance.
Nina Jacobs was right; Han Lewis’s amnesia was a good thing.
Meanwhile, after learning the fate of Arcadia White and her mother, Godfrey Thatcher felt nothing but immense satisfaction.
That pair had harmed others only to bring about their own doom, and they had nearly turned him into a zombie.
He would never forget that near-death experience for the rest of his life.
"They got what they deserved. The two of them killed a lot of people before, but there was nothing anyone could do."
Godfrey Thatcher said as he drove.
From what he knew, hundreds of people had been killed by them.
Nina Jacobs remained silent. She hadn’t personally killed Arcadia White and Julia Hughes, but she had killed Lincoln White and Chuck Willow.
After killing Lincoln White and Chuck Willow, the system’s "Selfless Savior" title was triggered, rewarding her with several hundred bottles of "Healing Potion."
Speaking of Lincoln White, Nina Jacobs hadn’t forgotten the "Divine Wood" she had taken from him.
She had already poured out the bloody water from the "Divine Wood," washed it several times with clean water, and was soaking it in fresh water again.
As for the thin Ancient Book, the "Puppetry Technique" it recorded was not much different from what she already knew.
However, she did know that this piece of Divine Wood had been alive for over a thousand years.
The book mentioned that the Divine Wood had several offshoots, each capable of surviving independently. Nina Jacobs guessed that these offshoots had likely been taken by Arcadia White, Ambrose White, and Flynn White to create puppets.
The "Puppetry Technique" didn’t involve any particularly difficult magic. One just had to soak the Divine Wood in the master’s fresh blood for seven days and seven nights, then cut off a piece and place it inside the puppet’s body.
Of course, the puppet’s mind had to be taken from it beforehand.
Ethan Chase also had some other knowledge about the "Puppetry Technique."
"I once heard an acquaintance of my master say that the Divine Wood of the ’Puppetry Technique’ is supposed to contain a special type of mycelium. After this mycelium enters a human body, it can quickly influence the puppet, achieving a state of master-servant coexistent control..."
Ethan Chase spoke to Nina Jacobs alone before they rested for the night.
He didn’t know that Nina Jacobs had already obtained the "Divine Wood"; he just assumed that the legendary piece of "Divine Wood," passed down through the ages, had been destroyed along with Whittaker Town.
"It’s better that it was destroyed. It’s not a good thing, anyway."
"Also, I have to thank you young people for these past few days."
Ethan Chase said.
