After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Instant Detonation

Crestfall was over 90 kilometers away from Tomorrow Base.

Nina Jacobs thought this distance was far too close.

A zombie that ran nonstop could probably reach Tomorrow Base in less than a day.

And when Audrey Crowley learned that the group was coming to scout Crestfall today, she had surprisingly contributed a helicopter, along with the drones used outside Tomorrow Base last time, and a programmer.

The programmer’s name was Julian Thorne. He didn’t say much, just kept tapping away at the laptop on the table.

"What are you doing?"

Silas Crowley already had a helicopter pilot’s license, and Julian Thorne had been an employee of the Crowley Group before the apocalypse.

"Mr. Crowley, I’m writing a new command script. The flight altitude from last time needs to be increased."

Julian Thorne replied.

Last time, Audrey Crowley had him try to scout Crestfall with a drone, but the drone seemed to have been destroyed by something as soon as it flew in.

It happened with every drone they tried, so he figured the flight altitude needed to be adjusted even higher.

The vehicle started to jolt more and more violently. The group gradually fell silent, as the number of zombies outside was growing.

At an intersection, the group skillfully clambered out onto the vehicle’s roof. Nina Jacobs immediately conjured a swirling vortex of fire and wind.

To an outsider, it looked like just an incredibly powerful and fast-moving Fire Dragon Roll.

The Fire Dragon Roll sucked in all the zombies that were still gathering behind them, and dozens of them were instantly reduced to ash.

Wayne Warner had already leaped from the vehicle, kicking a group of zombies in front of him into the Thunder Net behind them.

A flash of lightning erupted, and the zombies were carbonized in an instant.

Holly Morgan was using purple thorns to entangle as many zombies as possible, but some of the Mutated Zombies were proving difficult to handle. Seeing this, Nina Jacobs quickly cleared the area around her.

"People might still pass through this intersection. Looks like we need to be thorough and kill all of them."

Silas Crowley used his Thunder Element Superpower to pull over an abandoned sedan from the roadside. With the car’s instant explosion, the zombies in that direction were blown to pieces.

Inside the vehicle, Julian Thorne watched the scene outside in amazement.

’It seems Mr. Crowley and the others were worried for nothing,’

he murmured to himself.

After finally reaching the vicinity of Crestfall, the group didn’t get out of the vehicle immediately, worried their scent would trigger a disturbance among the zombies inside the city.

Even though they were still three kilometers away from Crestfall.

"How is it? How many are in there?"

Seeing Felix Finch sensing the situation with a deeply furrowed brow, Nina Jacobs didn’t disturb him, only asking her question after he opened his eyes.

"So many... so, so many..."

Felix Finch couldn’t find the words to describe what he was sensing.

It was packed to the brim with zombies.

"At least three million. No, four million..."

After Felix Finch spoke, a chill ran down everyone’s spines.

"How can there be so many?"

Silas Crowley asked in disbelief.

Nina Jacobs gazed into the distance ahead and said, "It’s not surprising. Keldorn’s permanent population before the apocalypse was over 34 million."

Four million zombies wasn’t beyond the realm of possibility.

Julian Thorne had finished calibrating the drone. Following Nina Jacobs’s instructions, he programmed it to fly towards Crestfall from the opposite direction.

The projected image quickly appeared on the computer screen.

Every scene was enough to make one’s skin crawl.

Within the city walls, countless dark gray heads were squeezed together, resembling a pot of thick porridge under the scorching sun.

As the drone flew overhead, the heads slowly shifted, focusing their pupil-less "gazes" on the sky.

The hot porridge began to roil. The mere sound of the drone was enough to make them boil over with agitation. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With this movement, the group realized that there weren’t just zombies on the ground—the buildings, every abandoned car, and even the space beneath collapsed planks were teeming with them.

"Reginald, drive us about a kilometer closer."

Nina Jacobs said.

She wanted to try out the system’s new Skill: Instant Detonation.

Instant Detonation could be used four times a day.
