After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Not a Dead End

Leo Hale froze.

"Bianca White?

Is that you?"

Aside from her voice, which held a trace of familiarity, Leo Hale couldn’t recognize the girl’s appearance at all.

"Is that really... Leo Hale?"

Leo Hale did, however, recognize the other person.

He hadn’t expected to run into old friends here.

"Bryce Dolan, what are you guys doing here?"

Leo Hale asked in surprise.

But on second thought, he understood. ’Bianca White must be with Bryce Dolan now.’

"Get in the car first. We can catch up later when we have time.

We need to get out of here, fast."

Behind Chester Pearson were seven or eight other survivors they had just rescued.

"What’s wrong?"

Ian Chandler asked. It was the first time he had seen such a grave expression on Chester Pearson’s face.

"The zombies from the mall are all out.

We’re likely to be surrounded. We probably can’t use our previous route."

This was the scene they had just witnessed on the drone that had flown back to them.

The drone could only record; it had no signal to transmit the footage.

They only found out after the drone returned and they reviewed the footage it had captured.

Their recent departure had caused the mutated zombies inside the mall to riot.

The mall doors were broken.

Those zombies were very likely nearby now.

Everyone realized the gravity of the situation.

There were many routes around the mall.

If the zombies poured out and scattered, they would very likely be surrounded.

"I’ll lead the way,"

Nina Jacobs said.

The system map could help them avoid the most zombie-infested roads.

If an encounter was unavoidable, then they would just have to fight.

The mall’s zombies had already been split up, and there weren’t many mutated ones. In her eyes, it wasn’t a no-win situation.

"Are you familiar with the roads here too?"

Leo Hale asked.

"More than you are."

Nina Jacobs slid directly into the driver’s seat.

"Everyone, keep up!"

Chester Pearson knew there was no more time to plan a new route.

Now, they could only rely on Nina Jacobs to lead.

However, one glance at the system map was all it took for Nina Jacobs to know that a fight was unavoidable today.

The roads ahead all showed red congested sections of varying degrees.

She could only choose the least congested route.

"It’s okay, Sis.

Even if we run into zombies, we can figure something else out."

Worried that Nina Jacobs was too anxious, Ian Chandler tried to comfort her.

"There are a lot of intersections between these roads.

I’ll lead everyone toward wider roads that don’t merge with others.

It’s basically impossible to avoid the zombies now.

Everyone, prepare yourselves."

Nina Jacobs said to Chester Pearson.

Her "Five Senses Enhancement" was on cooldown and wouldn’t be available again for over two hours.

The number of zombies outside the car was increasing.

Gunshots rang out intermittently from the cars behind them. Although some zombies were hit and stopped in their tracks, it wasn’t enough to keep up with their increasing numbers.

Zombies were constantly pouring out from the shops along the street, from abandoned vehicles, and even from the shadows on the roadside.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Nina Jacobs had already lost count of how many zombies she’d run over.

The expressions of everyone inside the car grew increasingly grim.

Seeing they were getting closer to the congested section, Nina Jacobs pulled over in a wide, open area.

"Why are we stopping?"

Chester Pearson asked. ’Shouldn’t we be trying to break through?’

"If we go any further, we’ll be even more caught off guard.

Although Leo Hale was indignant, he realized he really couldn’t have controlled that lamppost himself. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
