Chapter 176: Chapter 176: One Day

”If you’re worried,

you can wait until we get back to City D...”

Before Nina Jacobs could finish, all three of them began to absorb it.

After all, they had no reason to distrust anything Nina Jacobs gave them.

”This is... really good stuff!”

A moment later, Chester Pearson opened his eyes.

Not only was his Superpower—over-expended from killing zombies all day—fully replenished,

but the Superpower in his hands now materialized instantly, without him even needing to concentrate on forming it!

In front of Nina Jacobs were three system panels, invisible to the others.

She had already added the three of them as system friends before.

So right now, she understood their conditions even better than they did.

Daniel Hale opened his eyes as well.

He quietly sensed the world with his spiritual power, and a look of pleasant surprise soon appeared on his face.

”It seems like... the range of my perception has gotten wider!”

It didn’t just seem that way. It was a fact.

Daniel Hale’s face was filled with delight.

From now on, whether he was at the base or out with a rescue team, he could help gather information over a much larger area.

However, they were all a little concerned that Ian Chandler still hadn’t opened his eyes.

It was as if he were sensing something.

Chester Pearson was about to say something, but Nina Jacobs cut him off.

”Wait a little longer,”

Nina Jacobs said.

At the same time, she looked at Ian Chandler’s status panel, and her eyes lit up.

[Name: Ian Chandler

Superpower: Space/Wood Element

Physical Strength Value: 40/100

Superpower Value: 33/100

Friendship: 89/100]

Just a second ago, Ian Chandler had only a Space Element Superpower.

Now, he had unexpectedly gained a Wood Element Superpower as well.

It seemed the rumors from her past life were true—some people had become Dual Element Superpower Users by using a Mystic Ice Core.

”Nina, I think I...”

Ian Chandler opened his eyes, looking hesitantly at his left hand.

As the others watched, a green leaf actually appeared in his palm.

”A Wood Element Superpower.”

Nina Jacobs picked up the leaf.

It seemed everyone’s Superpower manifested differently. The leaf Ian Chandler had created had incredibly sharp edges.

Her own Wood Element Superpower, on the other hand, was more focused on growth and control.

”Dual Element?!”

Chester Pearson was quick to realize.

Although he was envious, he was even happier for him.

There was a Dual Element Superpower User right here among them!

”I never would have thought...”

Daniel Hale was also stunned.

But his shock was immediately followed by concern for Nina Jacobs.

If something like this was made public, countless people would surely fight over it.

”Don’t mention this to any outsiders for now.

This is too important. I’ll discuss it with Lawson and decide what to do after we get back,”

Daniel Hale said.

Chester Pearson and Ian Chandler nodded.

”Actually, it’s quite simple,

as long as we say that Nina and I discovered this together, Grandpa will definitely keep it a secret.”

As soon as Ian Chandler finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed in Daniel Hale’s eyes.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Justin Lawson.

But it was just as Ian Chandler had said.

As long as the matter was connected to Ian, Justin Lawson would definitely take it seriously.

With the base’s guarantee, no one would dare to cause trouble for Nina Jacobs.

Chester Pearson, however, started laughing off to the side.

”You kid, you’re just like your mother, hahaha.”

Back when they used to fail missions, Myra Lawson would always make excuses and claim it was her responsibility.

With Lawson’s name to back her up, no one ever criticized them too harshly.

”But you know the saying, ’the innocent man gets into trouble for the treasure he carries.’

Don’t you worry, Uncle Hale. Nina is practically my master.

I won’t go blabbing about it.”

Seeing the three of them so worried about this, Nina Jacobs hesitated for a moment before interrupting.

”Actually, it doesn’t really matter,”

Nina Jacobs said.

”I’m already an Intermediate Superpower User.

If anyone wants to start trouble, I’ll just beat them and send them running.”

”What did you say?!”

This time, Chester Pearson was the one who lost his composure.

Before they had set out, he had only just heard about Intermediate Superpower Users from Myra Lawson’s intelligence network.

For him, reaching that level was still a distant dream.

He never imagined Nina Jacobs had already become an Intermediate Superpower User!

”Nina is so amazing!”

Daniel Hale was also happy for Nina Jacobs.

”I heard that to become an Intermediate Superpower User, you need to go through an advancement period?”

Ian Chandler couldn’t imagine how Nina Jacobs had managed to advance in City J, a place where she was a complete stranger.

”Yes. Thankfully, I had Wayne Warner,

and of course, a few other friends I made here.”

Nina Jacobs planned to head back for now and regroup with Daniel Hale and the others tomorrow.

After all, she had snuck out.

”If they’re survivors, we have a dedicated escort for them,”

Ian Chandler explained.

Apparently, they had rescued quite a few survivors from City J during this time.

For the safety of those survivors, the City D rescue team regularly escorted them back to the shelter.

This also included the supplies stored in Ian Chandler’s space.

If his space was full, other designated Space Superpower Users would come to transfer the goods back.

”I see. But you’re not planning to head back yet?”

Nina Jacobs asked.

It sounded like Chester Pearson and his team had been here for many days.

”Now that we’ve found you, we’re naturally planning to go back,

but... hehe.”

Chester Pearson mentioned that City J’s largest wholesale market was just ahead.

Their original plan was to split up.

One team would search for Nina Jacobs, while the other would stay behind and spend three days clearing the market.

But now, it seemed that wouldn’t be necessary.

”The supplies in City J are remarkably well-preserved,

and that wholesale market is huge. Our drones detected a lot of supplies there.”

Daniel Hale suggested that Nina Jacobs could go back first with the escort team.

They planned to return in three days.

”Yeah, we’ve already set up the turrets,”

Chester Pearson said.

They had specifically brought some silenced turrets. While they weren’t completely silent, they wouldn’t attract a massive horde of zombies.

”A wholesale market?”

Nina Jacobs remembered how Finn Hart had approached the Lockwood Squad before, wanting to team up with them to collect supplies from a wholesale market.

But they had run into James Fletcher and the others from the Superpower User Alliance.

’Could it be the same wholesale market Chester Pearson’s team is talking about?’

”There are quite a few zombies around there, so to ensure everyone’s safety...”

”One day,”

Nina Jacobs stated.

’What kind of market takes three days to clear?’

”Nina, I’m afraid that might be a bit difficult.”

Daniel Hale had specifically scouted the surrounding area with his Spiritual Element Superpower.

The place was swarming with zombies.

They speculated that after the acid rain stopped, local residents had come out in droves to stock up on supplies, which led to this.

He originally felt that even three days wouldn’t be enough.

”We’ll see after we take a look tomorrow,”

Nina Jacobs decided.

If there really were too many zombies, she wouldn’t feel comfortable letting Daniel Hale risk his life.

Eric Stone and the other members of the Lockwood Squad never expected it.

They had simply gone to sleep, and by the time they woke up, the City D rescue team was at their door.

When they heard they could be escorted back to City D, everyone was ecstatic.

”Nina Jacobs!”

Ian Chandler had come specifically to get Nina Jacobs.

The moment he saw her, he came running over.

’Damn, he’s hot.’

Pascal Paige had seen her fair share of handsome young idols back when she was into celebrity-chasing, but Ian Chandler’s appearance made them all seem mediocre in comparison.

”What’s got you so happy?”

Nina Jacobs was pulled aside by Ian Chandler.

Ian Chandler rarely showed his emotions so openly in front of others, so she wondered what had made him so happy today.

”My space more than doubled in size!”

Ian Chandler only spoke after making sure no one else was around.

Nina Jacobs immediately understood.

It must have been the effect of the Mystic Ice Core that had also expanded Ian Chandler’s space.
