After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Missing

Nina Jacobs remembered that the team Caleb Carter represented was called "Soul Slayer." In the subsequent Superpower User Tournament, they had achieved quite impressive results.

"Caleb Carter has gone missing recently," Daniel Hale said in a deep voice.

"Missing?" several people asked in unison.

"He and some members of Soul Slayer went out five days ago and never came back. The remaining team members reported this to the base, and the base dispatched rescue teams from various units to search the surrounding areas, but they found no trace of them," Daniel said, heaving a sigh.

If Caleb and his team had truly met with an accident, it would be a significant loss for the City D Base. Soul Slayer was one of the more outstanding Superpower units in the base.

Sherry Renner took a bite of braised tofu skin and nodded. "I’ve heard about this too. Rumor has it that he received a tip about a batch of supplies. The location was quite dangerous, but he still led his people there."

Even before the extreme cold hit, the survivors at the base had gradually begun exploring toward downtown City D. Though the urban area was still teeming with hordes of zombies, it also held endless opportunities. If they happened to encounter a Spatial Zombie, it might even drop a substantial amount of supplies.

Nina remained silent after hearing this. Caleb was indeed the type of person willing to risk his life for supplies.

"I heard you guys are heading out tomorrow too. Please be careful and don’t get too close to the downtown area," Vera Coleman urged.

She had also heard that a recent type of Water Element Zombie could condense toxic mist using the extreme cold weather. This mist didn’t contain actual poison, but rather an ultra-cold vapor that could destroy human lungs. Once inhaled, it caused severe organ frostbite and could even lead to immediate death by suffocation.

"Got it, don’t worry. We have Nina leading us, what’s there to be afraid of?" Leo Hale replied.

As soon as he finished speaking, Daniel whacked him on the head with his chopsticks.

"I’m telling you to be careful for your own good!" Daniel scolded in exasperation. "And don’t cause trouble for Nina when you’re out there. You’re never reliable for a single day."

Nina quickly smoothed things over. "We’ve already reported our destination to the base for tomorrow. It’s not anywhere near downtown."

"That’s good. Although wearing thick clothes makes you much safer, it restricts your movement. I’ll prepare some ginger tea for you all tomorrow..." Vera was still a bit worried, but she knew that everyone in the Stellarys Team cherished every opportunity to go out and hone their skills.

Early the next morning, Wayne Abbott and the others waited eagerly at the door. Their anticipation stemmed from an extra reward the base had given the Stellarys Team for fending off the zombie tide last time: an armored vehicle.

The vehicle looked incredibly sturdy, with sharp, angular lines across its body. Its surface was covered in rivets and reinforced weld marks, while the cold, hard alloy shell gleamed with a dark, matte iron-gray finish. Anti-piercing vertical steel plates had been added to the sides, which also prevented zombies from climbing onto it. Just sitting there quietly, it drew the attention of many passersby.

"This car looks solid. It’ll definitely be a blast driving it out to ram zombies!"

"When will the base reward our team with one?"

"Forget it, let’s put the pressure on our captain. I heard this was all thanks to their captain, Nina Jacobs."

"Hey, you little brats, are you talking smack about me behind my back?"

A string of cursing, mingled with roars of laughter, rang out from a short distance away.

A modified off-road vehicle was parked by the curb. Inside, someone was staring intently at the armored vehicle, not looking away until she saw a black-haired woman walk out and get into it.

"Is that Nina Jacobs?" a short-haired woman in the car asked, gazing in that direction. Her scrutinizing gaze carried a trace of complexity and hostility.

A teammate beside her answered, "According to our investigation over the past few days, that’s her. An Intermediate Fire and Earth Superpower User. I heard her strength is highly formidable within the base."
