After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 542

Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Diverting the Trouble

The trade with Henry Dixon freed up six storage slots for Nina Jacobs and rewarded her with a substantial amount of System Experience.

On her way, Nina adjusted her clothes and hat. She was still in the guise of Claire Warner. With her Five Senses Enhancement activated, she could tell that Adrian Shaw hadn’t sent anyone to tail her. Even if she reverted to Nina’s appearance right now, hidden beneath the thick layers of clothing, no one would notice.

However, out of caution, she still walked out of the base. After all, before looking for Henry, Nina had officially exited the base. It was about time for her to return.

However, after she took out a vehicle outside the base and drove for a while, she sure enough noticed a tail following her. She was certain no one had followed her from inside the base. She wondered if someone was waiting for Claire outside, or if they merely wanted to confirm whether Claire was actually inside.

Nina felt glad that she had come out. Better safe than sorry. If she had stayed inside earlier, it would have proven that Claire was indeed in the base. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

As for the tail behind her... She wanted to kill them, but that car only dared to follow from a distance. Whenever she stopped, it would disappear.

"Quite smart, aren’t they," she remarked.

Nina checked the remaining time for her Facial Adjustment. She still had three hours—more than enough time to deal with them.

Her car turned corner after corner, ramming through zombies one by one. After driving for an unknown amount of time, Nina heard what sounded like a fight in the distance ahead. It was an abandoned kindergarten, where a group of people was locked in a fierce battle with a horde of zombies.

She originally wanted to drive straight past, but she caught sight of a familiar figure.

"It’s him," she murmured in surprise.

Nina saw Liam Grant standing on the roof of a car. By now, the vehicles were completely surrounded by zombies. Sensing the "tail" following her from afar, a plan suddenly formed in Nina’s mind.

"Liam, I’m so scared! Can you just take me and leave first?" Hannah Grant pleaded, opening a crack in the sunroof to speak to Liam standing on top. Although she was hiding inside, one of the side windows had already been smashed by a zombie, and the monsters could rush in at any moment.

Liam furrowed his brows. Almost all of these were Mutated Zombies, making them quite difficult to deal with. However, the people fighting the zombies alongside him were gathered through considerable effort. He would still need them in the future.

"Shut up and stay inside," Liam scolded.

They could handle these zombies, though casualties and injuries were inevitable. As long as he protected himself and Hannah, it didn’t matter if the others died.

"Liam, save me!"

A woman in a red coat was tightly bound by a vine around her neck. She struggled to reach out a hand, crying for help to Liam on the roof. She tried to use her Superpower to sever the vine behind her head, but under the intense sense of suffocation, she completely failed to hit the attack in her blind spot.

"Hold on, I’m coming right now!"

Though Liam agreed, he didn’t actually want to leave the car roof at this moment, simply because he didn’t want any zombies getting close to the vehicle. Both the trunk and Hannah’s spatial storage contained the supplies they had gathered on this trip.

"You..."

Just before the woman’s consciousness blurred, she suddenly felt the grip around her neck loosen.

"I’m here!" a stranger’s female voice rang out.

The woman looked behind her and saw a woman in a dark green short jacket running out of a car parked by the road. The vine around her neck had been sliced through by a long knife thrown by the stranger.

"Are you alright?" the woman asked with a look of genuine concern as she helped her up. It was as if the two had known each other before.

"I-I’m fine... thank you," the woman replied blankly.

Meanwhile, the rescuer had already picked up her machete and began slashing at the surrounding zombies.

"Nina..."
