Chapter 203: Chapter 203: An Open Secret

”I agree.”

Nina Jacobs set down her coffee cup.

She had come prepared.

She didn’t know the specific details of tomorrow’s operation, but she was certain that Daniel Hale, the Spiritual Element Superpower User, would be participating.

Even if it was just for Daniel Hale’s safety, she had to go.

”Good!”

Justin Lawson found himself admiring the young woman before him more and more.

She was decisive, didn’t beat around the bush, and was highly capable.

Seeing Nina Jacobs agree so quickly, Myra Lawson also breathed a sigh of relief. She just wasn’t sure where to begin.

”Tomorrow’s operation is a bit... special.”

”It could be a false alarm, but it could also be extremely dangerous.”

She glanced at Adrian Shaw, who immediately understood and said,

”Miss Jacobs, I’ll explain the rest to you.”

”I’m all ears.”

Nina Jacobs was also curious to see how far Adrian Shaw had progressed with this matter.

”A friend of mine—well, not exactly a friend, to be precise—has been having a series of dreams recently...”

Adrian Shaw didn’t reveal the names of Hannah Grant or Liam Grant, and Nina Jacobs didn’t call him out on it.

”Are you saying your friend knows about tomorrow’s operation?”

After hearing Adrian Shaw’s explanation, Nina Jacobs was slightly shocked.

’Liam Grant has already agreed to work with Adrian Shaw?’

”That’s right. My friend also has the safety of the public at heart.”

”He took the initiative to come see me last night.”

”And as a friend, it’s only natural that I keep their secret.”

Adrian Shaw winked at Nina Jacobs.

”I understand. This matter certainly can’t be publicized.”

Nina Jacobs regretted not activating her Five Senses Enhancement last night.

She never would have thought Liam Grant and the others would actively seek out Adrian Shaw.

’I missed a good show.’

”So, that’s the situation.”

”To be honest, I don’t believe it. Based on our normal weapon deployments, it’s impossible for so many people to die at once.”

”Unless...”

Myra Lawson’s expression turned grim.

”Unless we encounter a powerful mutant zombie, like an Intermediate Mutant Zombie.”

Nina Jacobs was the only Intermediate Superpower User in the base, which was why she had no choice but to ask for her help.

”We’ve already deployed various weapons and snipers along the route in advance.”

”If a mutant zombie that powerful really does appear, we will all fight it together.”

”I understand. I’ll do my best.”

’An Intermediate Mutant Zombie?’

Hearing this, Nina Jacobs felt a faint flicker of excitement.

She had encountered an Intermediate Superpower User before, but she had yet to face an Intermediate Mutant Zombie.

”For now, don’t tell anyone else about this.”

”Tomorrow, everyone will just think it’s a normal transfer operation.”

”If it turns out to be a false alarm, we will severely punish the individuals involved,”

Myra Lawson said.

Nina Jacobs nodded, then asked, ”And what if it’s real?”

”If it’s real, I will be the one to express gratitude on their behalf.”

”After all, I have to keep my friend’s identity a secret.”

There was a hint of a smile in Adrian Shaw’s voice.

”If it’s real, then this is a huge deal.”

”This could be a major event concerning all of us survivors.”

Justin Lawson also looked serious. ”Shaw, I’m putting you in charge of this lead. You must dig up all the useful intelligence.”

”If they have any requests, we can accommodate them as appropriate.”

”Understood.”

Adrian Shaw accepted.

Nina Jacobs chatted with them for a few more moments before leaving.

Myra Lawson still had to arrange the next day’s operation, while Adrian Shaw stood up, intending to walk Nina Jacobs out.

”You’re doing a pretty good job of keeping things confidential,”

Nina Jacobs said.

’Confidential? It’s more like an open secret.’

”But of course. They want something from us,”

”and we’re just making an equal exchange.”

Adrian Shaw walked beside Nina Jacobs, taking her words as a compliment.

Night had fallen, and only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor of the new administration building.

”But don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just cooperating with them.”

”I haven’t sold myself,”

Adrian Shaw added.

”Sold yourself?”

Nina Jacobs didn’t understand what Adrian Shaw meant.

”What I mean is, my source of intelligence is no longer Hannah Grant.”

Adrian Shaw’s tone was a little stiff.

But Nina Jacobs understood.

He meant that he hadn’t gotten together with Hannah Grant for the sake of this information.

The person he was cooperating with was Liam Grant.

”Hm, that’s good.”

”Otherwise, that would be scumbag behavior.”

Not that Nina Jacobs cared much about any of this.

”And don’t worry, I won’t let him know you’re still paying attention to him,”

Adrian Shaw said.

Nina Jacobs couldn’t help but stop in her tracks. ”Oh, thank you so much.”

She really did have to thank him for taking her out of the equation completely.

’Is his brain wired for nothing but messy love triangles?’

”No need to thank me. You’re my savior, after all,”

Adrian Shaw said.

”Don’t say that. It was nothing, not even worth mentioning.”

With that, Nina Jacobs quickened her pace and left.

’Looks like I hit the nail on the head again.’

Watching Nina Jacobs’s hastily retreating back, Adrian Shaw felt it was a waste for her.

’That Liam Grant’s character isn’t up to much, and the look in his eyes is even worse...’

Daniel Hale also received his mission for the day early the next morning.

He didn’t think much of it, but he was surprised to see Nina Jacobs was also participating in that day’s transfer.

”Sis, remember to be careful,”

Ian Chandler urged as Nina Jacobs was leaving.

”Mhm, I will.”

Nina Jacobs got into the vehicle.

That day’s transfer consisted only of supplies and goods for the shelter.

By noon, Nina Jacobs had already completed two round trips.

Other than a slight increase in the number of zombies on the road, nothing unusual had happened.

”Actually, we considered avoiding this road before,”

”but that wouldn’t solve the problem. The dangers near the base must be cleared.”

”But based on the current situation, I’m afraid we might have been overly worried about that tip,”

Myra Lawson said to Nina Jacobs when they stopped for a rest after clearing out some zombies mid-route.

She had been too worried to stay behind, so she had specifically come along today.

”I understand. This is a main road.”

Nina Jacobs only got out of the vehicle to stretch her legs.

She hadn’t dared to relax her guard for the entire trip.

Myra Lawson might have been starting to have doubts.

But she was absolutely certain.

’Something is definitely going to happen today.’

”All units, attention! A large group of zombies has appeared at your nine o’clock!”

Just then, the sudden announcement put everyone who was still digging for Crystal Cores on high alert.

”Hale, how many are there, roughly?”

Chester Pearson asked.

”Not as many as before. About seven or eight hundred.”

After Daniel Hale finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The previous wave had been nearly two thousand zombies. It seemed this was just the stragglers following behind.

”Stay sharp. Let’s aim for zero casualties,”

Myra Lawson said to the crowd before her.

Because their preparations had been more than adequate, they had only sustained a few casualties over the two trips.

”They’re a bit fast.”

”Roughly 600 meters, 500 meters... They’re here!”

Daniel Hale kept his mind focused, tracking the movement of the zombie horde.

At just under 200 meters, the pre-aimed silenced weapons began to fire on command.

”All Superpower Users, prepare!”

Adrian Shaw was also part of this mission.

Two Speed Element mutant zombies rushed to the front, dodging the artillery fire.

Adrian Shaw had already summoned a Thunder Serpent from the ground, which split into two and shot toward them!

ZZT!

The Thunder Element Superpower struck repeatedly.

Both Speed Element zombies were immobilized by the lightning restraints.

Immediately after, snipers on both sides seized the opportunity to hit the two zombies.

”Wait, there’s one more!”

Daniel Hale looked in a certain direction but couldn’t spot anything unusual.
