After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 545

Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Tunnel

Nina Jacobs expected those people to reject her words out of hand, but to her surprise, they actually waited by the roadside.

"Captain, do you think they’ll ambush us?" Alaric Fletcher couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something very strange about those people.

"Don’t worry. Just wait for my orders," Nina said, a faint smile playing on her lips. She looked at the metal plates blocking the way ahead and pointed at them. "Leo, Alaric, use your Superpowers to melt through it!"

"Understood!"

The two of them immediately stepped forward, while the others moved to the sides as Nina had instructed.

Soon, the blocked tunnel was forced open by their Superpowers. A blast of freezing air instantly rushed over them!

Nina immediately told the two to step aside, then erected a Diamond Sand Cover around everyone. Inside the Diamond Sand Cover was a thin layer of Flame Superpower, meant to ward off the biting cold.

ROAR!

The heavy, guttural roar of a zombie echoed from deep within the tunnel. The very next second, a figure charged out!

CRASH!

A Mutated Zombie, covered head to toe in frost, slammed toward Leo and Alaric. However, it was completely blocked by the Diamond Sand Cover.

Leo got a clear look at the towering Mutated Zombie. The freezing air spewing from its mouth lingered in the air. He suddenly realized something.

"There’s a high chance this freezing air carries the zombie virus!" Leo shouted.

If a human inhaled the frosty mist, they risked being infected. No wonder people said that Mutated Water Element Zombies could use poisonous gas!

"The Diamond Sand Cover can fend it off for now. Don’t worry." Nina peered into the tunnel.

It was pitch black inside, and it seemed the opposite end was also blocked off. Having activated her Five Senses Enhancement, however, she could see everything inside clearly. Just as she expected, this Mutated Water Element Zombie was the only thing trapped inside the tunnel.

Watching the massive wave of water the zombie conjured, everyone could practically confirm that this was an Intermediate Water Zombie.

The group waiting by the roadside suddenly panicked. The Water Element Zombie had temporarily given up on Nina and her team inside the Diamond Sand Cover, pivoting instead to attack the people waiting over there!

"Damn it! Ryan, hold it off for now!" Ianna Jacobs glared furiously at Nina’s group. But settling the score with them was impossible right now. The Water Element Zombie was attacking with ferocious momentum, and they had to use all their strength to fend it off.

Still inside the Diamond Sand Cover, Holden Shaw and the others couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight. They finally understood why Nina hadn’t fought back earlier and had told them to hold their ground instead.

"Yvonne, store the vehicle in your spatial dimension first. We’re heading into the tunnel," Nina said to Yvonne Willow.

Yvonne nodded. Fortunately, she had been practicing the speed at which she stored supplies recently; the armored vehicle vanished under her palm in an instant.

Nina deactivated the Diamond Sand Cover, and they dashed into the tunnel while the other group was busy fending off the Water Element Zombie.

"Looks like someone trapped that zombie in here, then escaped through the other end of the tunnel," they discussed as they ran.

A Fire Dragon circled overhead, not only illuminating the passageway but also bringing warmth to the freezing tunnel.

"Do you see the mark on the wall?" Nina pointed at the metal plates sealing the end of the tunnel ahead, which indeed bore a large symbol.

"Is that the City D Base’s SOS mark?" Chase Gallagher asked.

The City D Base not only provided survivors with signal flares for emergencies but had also publicized its own unique SOS mark. Any stranded survivor could leave this mark, and if a rescue team spotted it, they would definitely initiate a rescue operation. Of course, if other survivors saw it, they could also choose to help depending on the situation. Once a rescue was successful, they could claim corresponding rewards upon returning to the base, and their team’s name would be publicly commended.

"Yeah, someone must have left it," Nina replied. They just didn’t know if the person was still alive.

Nina had a bad feeling about the situation, as her system map indicated that the road ahead was impassable.

"Even if they were alive before they fell, it’s virtually impossible for them to survive now," Chase deduced. In this freezing weather, even a Superpower User would struggle to survive outdoors. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
