After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 532

Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Joint Mission

Nina Jacobs chose the Strength Element Superpower for Justin Lawson.

When it came to building one’s physique, the Strength Element Superpower was arguably the most beneficial. Becoming a Superpower User vastly improved a person’s physical constitution, but while other elemental superpowers mostly relied on mental or external bodily exertion, the Strength Element was the sole exception in purely enhancing raw power.

It would be rather strange for someone in his sixties to suddenly awaken a superpower at this juncture, so she deliberately waited until they left the base before using the First Superpower Card on him. She just hoped it wouldn’t draw the suspicion of anyone with ulterior motives.

Nina held a route plan provided by Myra Lawson. Their destination today was a large bridge in the suburbs of City D. Beneath the bridge flowed a river that spanned across City J and City D. Ever since the extreme cold hit, an endless stream of zombies had been pouring down this river from the direction of City J.

"City J doesn’t have a base, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a Zombie City," Myra Lawson explained over the walkie-talkie from a vehicle up ahead, briefing Nina in the car behind her. "Furthermore, this river leads straight into the heart of City J’s downtown area, so the sheer volume of zombies is exceptionally massive."

Today, they needed to find a suitable location to horizontally blockade the river. Fortunately, the river wasn’t entirely too wide, but zombies were still constantly emerging across the sixty-meter span of the water and its surrounding banks. They had to find a way to cut off the source on the river first.

"Understood."

Nina already had a general grasp of the situation. Heavy weaponry could continuously bombard the river’s surface, but it wouldn’t be able to stop the source itself, and the team would eventually be swarmed by the surrounding horde. Therefore, she had to figure out a way to sever the source first—perhaps by using her Fire Element Superpower from yesterday to melt a section of the icy river.

"All of us will coordinate with you. Just let us know whatever you need," Myra stated.

Nina turned off the walkie-talkie and addressed the others in the car. "That’s the situation. Today, everyone just needs to help kill the zombies."

As long as there were no unforeseen accidents, Nina believed Myra’s plan shouldn’t have any issues.

"We haven’t been out for so many days, and these zombies outside look like they’re completely immune to the cold," Wayne Abbott said as he drove.

When the extreme cold first hit, the zombies had been frozen solid into icy corpses. Back then, they had treated it like a game, effortlessly killing plenty of immobilized zombies while out on runs. If it hadn’t been for the unbearable freezing temperatures, they would have loved nothing more than to camp outside and slaughter zombies all day long.

To think that after only a few days, the zombies had reverted to how they were before.

"Yeah, the anatomy of these zombies is truly bizarre. It’s almost as if they were designed to be our natural predators." Over the past few days, Paisley Paige had treated quite a few frostbite patients, profoundly experiencing just how difficult it was for humanity to survive in this day and age.

"Now that you mention it, someone used Blood Stopping Spray to treat frostbite and found out it actually works wonders," Leo Hale said regretfully. "It’s just a shame that the little shop selling the Blood Stopping Spray vanished. If I had known, I would have stocked up on it earlier." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"A while back, Captain Pearson and his men were still searching for the shop owner around City D, but they found absolutely nothing," Holden Shaw said, sharing the information Chase Gallagher had scouted out.

"Did they find any clues?" Nina, who had been studying the route map this whole time, looked up and asked.

Chase shook his head. "No. We only know that the shop owner used to show up frequently, but roughly four months ago, she vanished into thin air. Some say she might have been eaten by zombies, while others say she moved somewhere else."

"Are there a lot of people looking for her?" Nina asked again.

"Besides the rescue teams, there must be quite a few of her regular customers asking around. When too many people start digging into something, all sorts of rumors pop up. Perhaps neither of those two possibilities is actually true.

"However, I heard that some of the people from Arisdale Base are also asking about the Blood Stopping Spray." Chase’s intelligence-gathering skills were as excellent as ever.

Hearing this, Nina didn’t express an opinion, but a hint of scrutiny entered her eyes as she looked back down at the map. It wasn’t surprising that people in the City D Base were asking about Claire Warner. But for people from City A to be asking around as well... that was suspicious.
