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

Watching their captain’s overwhelmingly powerful Attack Power, the morale of the Stellarys Team was completely ignited.

”I see. A combination of the Fire and Earth Element Superpowers?”

Adrian Paige had already stopped in his tracks.

For Dual Element Superpower Users, their two Superpowers usually had varying strengths and weaknesses, or were completely separate from each other. This was the first time he had seen a Dual Element Superpower User combine and transition between them so seamlessly.

”Tsk, I knew she must have improved a lot after coming back this time.”

After Chester Pearson said that, he also condensed multiple Fireballs and joined the battle.

”It’s not just Nina Jacobs; the entire Stellarys Team has improved significantly.”

Myra Lawson used an Ice Shield to block a Stone Spike for two rescue team members.

There were already four Intermediate Superpower Users in this one Superpower Squad. It was just that Nina was relatively low-key, which was why she hadn’t made a fuss about it in the base.

The clearing operation, originally planned to take an hour, was indeed finished in less than twenty minutes.

Nina didn’t delay any further. The zombies on the river surface below had already started climbing upward. Looking down from the precarious bridge, the densely packed horde was enough to make anyone’s scalp tingle.

Chester had already ordered several detachment captains to start bombing the river with weapons.

As Myra had said, although the tank shells were powerful, they still couldn’t stop the endless stream of zombies pouring out from behind.

On that precarious bridge, Nina had already pinpointed the release point for her Superpower—

On top of the stone pillars beneath the bridge deck.

Seeing Nina flip and jump under the bridge, Holden Shaw and the others were startled. It turned out that on the stone pillars supporting the bridge, there happened to be recessed spots just large enough to stand in.

Nina stood right there. The boiling liquid flames were already flowing rapidly down the stone pillar onto the river below.

”Elara, use the Liaoyuan Crystals,” Nina instructed.

Elara Dolan was also a Fire Element Superpower User, and Nina had already taught her how to use the Liaoyuan Crystals.

Elara nodded, took out two Liaoyuan Crystals, and threw them along with her Fireballs toward two different directions below...

The city gates of the City D Base remained open all day.

People waited anxiously at the gates. It wasn’t until dusk that someone from the base’s Control Room ran over excitedly to make an announcement.

They were back.

”They’re finally back, oh my precious VIP.”

Isaac Leopold breathed a sigh of relief.

”Mr. Leopold, you are being overly nervous.”

Adrian Shaw smiled.

”You’re not nervous? Then why are you waiting here in this freezing weather?

”I’m on a mission. If anything happens to that guy, I won’t even need to go back,” Isaac said.

”With our friend tagging along, your precious VIP definitely won’t run into any trouble.”

The voice came from a person standing behind Adrian Shaw, wearing several layers of heavy padded coats, a trapper hat, and a thick mask.

”I say, Shirley, you’re way too weak, boy. What kind of grown man bundles up like you do? ACHOO!” Isaac sneezed violently after speaking.

The weather was so cold that opening one’s mouth produced white mist, which then condensed into ice and fell around them, making it feel like they were in an ice cave.

”And what amazing friend are you talking about? I’ve been at the City D Base for so long, how come I haven’t seen them?” Isaac rubbed his frozen, red nose.

Right at that moment, several vehicles directly entered the inspection area at the base’s entrance.

When Nina got out of the car, she felt a black, round ball rushing toward her.

Wayne Warner looked up and blocked the round ball for her.

The round ball could be heard screaming, ”OW OW OW OW, Wayne, it’s me...”

”Shirley? Why are you here?” Nina also saw Adrian Shaw.

”I was worried about you guys.” Shirley rubbed his aching forehead. He only found out today that Nina had returned and then immediately went out on another mission.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Adrian Shaw knew that today’s mission must have been completed smoothly.

”It’s rare for you two to come out to receive people. Is there some good news?” Myra also half-joked in a relaxed manner.

Although they had encountered an accident on their way back today, with Nina and Adrian Paige around, they managed to get through it without any real danger.

And what relieved her the most was that the river channel under the bridge had finally been blocked by them.

The evacuation of the zombie horde could be considered 50% complete.

”There is good news.” Adrian Shaw stepped forward with a smile on his face.

”What is it? Don’t tell me we’re having a feast?” Chester’s padded coat had several tears in it, making him look a bit disheveled.

”The Base Commander... he awakened a Superpower,” Adrian Shaw answered with a smile.

Even now, he still couldn’t quite believe the news.

But everyone top to bottom in the base already knew about it.

Justin Lawson not only awakened a Strength Element Superpower, but all the illnesses in his body had vanished along with it.

”This is a good thing. Can you take me to see him?” Adrian Paige stepped forward and asked.

”Of course, but that will have to wait until everyone passes the inspection,” Adrian Shaw said, pointing to the inspection room on the side.

The City D Base regulations mandated that no matter who entered the base from the outside, they had to undergo an inspection.

”Naturally.” Adrian Paige’s expression remained unchanged as he walked directly into the inspection room.

It was only then that Myra fully processed the news. She asked in disbelief, ”Are you saying my dad... awakened a Superpower?”

”It’s absolutely true. Ian Chandler is with him right now. The old man can even climb the stairs around the building.”

One had to know that just yesterday, Justin was completely bedridden.

”Congratulations. This is indeed a joyous occasion,” Nina also walked over and said.

It was said that Justin discovered he had awakened a Strength Element Superpower when he sat up to take his medicine at noon.

Before that, he had merely been reviewing documents in bed, not noticing anything unusual.

Some people in the base said it was good karma because he had done so many good deeds and saved so many people.

When Nina returned home, Daniel Hale and Vera Coleman also excitedly discussed this matter with her.

Sherry Renner had also returned from the Enforcement Bureau. Upon seeing Nina, she couldn’t wait to drag her into chatting all night, but she also knew Nina had a mission the next day.

”How is work at the Enforcement Bureau?” Nina asked, as Sherry seemed quite busy.

”With the extreme cold and dry weather, people go out less. Being cooped up indoors all the time means various violent incidents happen constantly.

”I’ve been living directly at the Bureau these past few days, so I couldn’t welcome you the moment you got back. Don’t blame me,” Sherry said.

”Sherry is now the number one at the Enforcement Bureau. There’s nothing she can’t interrogate out of someone. Those criminals get terrified the moment they see her and confess everything on the spot,” Daniel laughed.

It was incredibly wise of Nina to have introduced a prodigy like Sherry to the Enforcement Bureau in the first place.

”With you working so diligently, how could I blame you?

”Actually, I have an item here. Take a look and see if you can keep it for your own use.” Nina took out a Compass that looked extraordinary at first glance.

This was the Compass she had looted from Magnus York at Mornfell. Sherry knew some Arcane Gate Evasion Arts, but her original Compass was a broken one.

As soon as Sherry saw the new Compass, her eyes went wide.

However, a hint of doubt also appeared in her eyes. ”This Compass is great, but it looks a bit familiar.”

”Don’t all Compasses look the same?” Leo Hale, who was standing nearby, remarked.

”Of course not. A Compass has to be calibrated by a person before it can be used, and every sect’s calibration method is different. My original Compass was calibrated by my master, and the calibration style on this Compass looks exactly like mine,” Sherry explained as she examined it.

”Your master couldn’t possibly be a woman, right?” Leo knew Magnus York was a woman.

”Of course not. My master is a man,” Sherry clarified, indicating that she didn’t know Magnus York.

”What is your master’s name?” Nina asked.
