After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: A Glimmer of Hope

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for you."

Nina Jacobs smiled as she left, not giving Wyatt Jacobs another glance.

In her past life, Wyatt Jacobs had awakened his Superpower more than half a month later.

’No wonder Wyatt Jacobs can still keep his cool.’

The night before, Nina Jacobs had activated Five Senses Enhancement.

However, she only heard Liam Grant’s parents scolding Hannah Grant.

It seemed to be because Hannah Grant had found a boyfriend with no Superpower.

Nina Jacobs couldn’t be bothered to listen to such a family argument, so she turned off the Five Senses Enhancement Skill early on.

Now, she was driving her SUV on the road to the old house.

The system map had planned an optimal route for her.

Nina Jacobs discovered that the two blocked road sections from before were now passable.

’The shelter must have sent people to clear them.’

"There’s a high probability of zombies ahead,"

Nina Jacobs said, looking at the yellow marker that appeared on the map.

This kind of marker often meant there was a small, clustered group of zombies in the middle of the road.

She could have powered through them, but Nina Jacobs chose to get out and clear them.

Wayne Warner didn’t say anything, but he followed her out anyway.

After incinerating two zombies’ heads, Nina Jacobs glanced at Wayne Warner.

Although Wayne Warner was slow to react, he seemed very talented when it came to his Superpower and combat.

He could always strike a zombie’s vital points quickly.

And not just with his fists.

If a regular zombie was hit by one of his kicks, at best, it would knock down a large swath of other zombies; at worst, it would be sent flying into a nearby wall and reduced to a pile of gore.

Nina Jacobs had rarely encountered such a Strength Element Superpower, even in her past life.

The Heart of Strange Fire was active. Nina Jacobs manipulated the flame on her fingertip, turning it into a Fire Spike that instantly pierced a zombie’s eye socket.

This success made her eyes light up.

’Just as the Fire Element Skill Book described. Even the most inconspicuous flame could unleash its maximum power if used correctly.’

She then tried to use a Fire Spike as a homing attack. While it successfully tracked the zombie, it failed to kill it.

"I really do need more practice."

Nina Jacobs didn’t dwell on it.

Instead, she started coordinating with Wayne Warner.

Facing the dozens of surrounding zombies, Wayne Warner took the front, shielding Nina Jacobs.

Every punch and kick took down several zombies.

Meanwhile, Nina Jacobs focused on using her Fire Element Superpower from the rear.

Several Fireballs and Fire Spikes erupted at once, and the zombies at the back were instantly dispatched before they could even advance.

"That should do it. Let’s go."

Once the middle of the road was clear, Nina Jacobs quickly harvested the Crystal Cores.

Although more zombies were being drawn to the area, she had no intention of getting bogged down in a fight.

Once their Superpowers were exhausted, getting back to the old house quickly was the only safe option.

The two drove on for another two hours without incident.

Nina Jacobs noticed that there seemed to be fewer zombies ahead. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Just as she was starting to relax a little, she spotted a large amount of blood on the road ahead.

The bloodstains were clearly fresh.

There weren’t many houses on either side of this suburban road, and the old ones had long been abandoned.

Large patches of empty land had been converted into farmland and vegetable plots.

Nina Jacobs became more vigilant, driving slowly forward and following the trail of blood.

She even saw some fragments of human tissue scattered on the road.

"Someone must have been chased by zombies and fled that way."

Nina Jacobs saw that the trail of blood veered off to one side of the road.

Two clear sets of tire tracks, as well as numerous footprints, were also visible on the roadside.

’Those must be zombie footprints.’

’Those people were injured and are still being chased.’

"No wonder there were no zombies on the way here,"

Nina Jacobs said. "These people must have lured them away."

Wayne Warner’s silence was her only answer.
