After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Melting

On either side of the abandoned pier stood a seven-story office building.

The two office buildings were connected by a skyway of steel and tempered glass, but below them was a narrow river channel.

Her liquid flame was spreading forward from the frozen river channel.

Initially, she had worried that her Fire Element Superpower’s Attack Power would be greatly diminished in this cold.

But the frozen river was covered in zombies. When the liquid flame touched them, it would instantly set them ablaze, and the zombies themselves became her fuel.

Tongues of fire licked at the ice, slowly seeping downward. The ice was actually starting to melt!

’Good thing I have plenty of Superpower. I wonder if I can clear this whole area out.’

Nina Jacobs felt a sense of helplessness.

They had to pass through the main road next to this area on their way back.

But her group had been killing zombies here for two days and two nights, and the horde still poured endlessly from across the river.

So, she came up with an idea: she would simply use her Fire Element Superpower to melt the river’s surface.

That way, the zombies on the other side would be temporarily unable to cross.

Even a few minutes would be enough for them to find a way through.

At first, Nia and the others thought she was crazy. After all, the river and the pier were completely overrun with zombies.

Besides, melting an entire river was simply not something a Superpower User could do.

However, Nina Jacobs had found an underground cargo tunnel that led directly into the pier’s interior.

Combining her Intermediate Fire Ability with the "Heart of Strange Fire," her scorching flames were already hot enough to melt metal.

The moment the intense heat hit the solid ice, it exploded into clouds of white steam. A SIZZLE echoed across the river as a dense web of cracks gradually appeared on the thick ice sheet.

Nina Jacobs felt a ceaseless flow of Superpower pouring out of her body.

Although she wasn’t worried about running out of Superpower, she still drank a "Superpower Recovery Potion."

An unknown amount of time passed. A few spots of thick ice began to rapidly soften and collapse, turning into churning, icy water. A crisscrossing network of melted channels spread out in all directions, as if carving up the entire ice field.

’It’s not enough.’

Nina Jacobs continued to channel her Superpower. The liquid flame below had already covered over a thousand square meters of ice, but she knew it was still too early.

The zombies on the opposite bank were still on the move. They seemed to have scented her location, and their speed had increased considerably.

Nina Jacobs remembered the "Liaoyuan Crystals" in her storage.

It was a weapon Chelsea Walsh had given her, capable of maximizing her Fire Element Superpower.

She still had quite a few "Liaoyuan Crystals" left.

Nina Jacobs took out three first, using her Wind Element Superpower to Control them and land them in three different locations.

As soon as the "Liaoyuan Crystals" came into contact with a Fire Element Superpower, they would activate instantly.

BOOM! A surging crimson inferno erupted on the ice. A sky-full of fiery waves crashed down upon the frozen surface.

Nina Jacobs’s eyes lit up. After the three Liaoyuan Crystals had burned for a full twenty-plus minutes, she threw out another eight.

Dazzling fireworks seemed to explode across the black ice, and the entire river surface trembled.

The layer of ice beneath the surface melted first, and chunks of floating ice could be seen breaking away and turning over.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Nina Jacobs’s lips.

This was the scene that greeted Adrian Paige and his group when they arrived.

"The ice... is melting?"

Adrian Paige stared intently at the distant river.

They had been delayed on the way. Their helicopter had encountered Wind Zombies, but fortunately, his Wind Element Superpower helped them land without incident.

They had since switched to a heavy-duty truck, which could plow through the maximum number of zombies. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"There’s definitely someone here. Look at all these zombie corpses."

Myra Lawson was filled with a mix of surprise and curiosity.

The evacuation team she had dispatched wouldn’t pass this way. So who was helping them?

"This... could it be..."

Daniel Hale shot to his feet in excitement.

Many of the zombies by the roadside showed signs of being killed by a Fire Element Superpower. Moreover, he couldn’t sense anyone’s presence on the pier at all.

This meant that the person was a Fire Element Superpower User who had already absorbed a Mystic Ice Core.

’Such a dazzling Skill...’

"Nina Jacobs?"
