After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret-Chapter 136: Previous Life’s Demon Child
A few minutes later, the little boy led the woman toward the house across from them.
With a wave of his hand, the metal lock on the door sprang open on its own.
But when they entered the courtyard, they found Nina Jacobs sitting alone in the center.
As if she were waiting for their arrival.
"Good evening."
Nina Jacobs said, looking at the two who had just entered.
"You didn’t eat the porridge?!"
the woman asked, her eyes narrowing.
The tall man wasn’t in the courtyard.
’He must have been taken down by the poison.’
’With only this young woman left, she’s no match for the two of us!’
As she finished her thought, the woman was already charging, her fists crackling with her Thunder Superpower!
"So you’re both Superpower Users,
no wonder you dare to pull something like this."
Nina Jacobs sneered.
The woman’s Thunder Element Superpower was indeed dazzling in the dark night.
But the little boy was even more dangerous.
Countless, nearly invisible embroidery needles shot toward Nina Jacobs from all directions!
However, just as the tips of the needles were about to touch Nina Jacobs...
...the pair were shocked to find that the person before them had vanished!
BANG!
Nina Jacobs had already circled around behind the little boy.
A Fire Fist struck him squarely in the back!
PTHOO!
The force of the blow made the boy spit a mouthful of blood as his body slammed heavily to the ground.
"Are you even human?
How could you strike such a small child so viciously?!
Hugh, hang in there! I’m coming to help you!"
A Lightning Ball flew toward Nina Jacobs, only to be blasted apart mid-air by a Fireball coming from the opposite direction!
"A child?
Misbehaving children deserve to be beaten even more."
’He’s a bad seed. I have no intention of spoiling him.’
After speaking, she kicked the boy, who was glaring at her with venomous eyes.
She put all her strength into that kick.
The sound of a bone breaking echoed in the silent night.
Meanwhile, the woman launched a sneak attack from behind her.
BOOM! A sharp pain shot up the woman’s leg.
She stared in shock at her burning right leg and tried to extinguish the flames.
"It hurts!
Ahhh!!"
The woman rolled on the ground in agony, but she couldn’t put out the fire no matter what she did.
In just a few seconds, her leg was charred black.
"Stop right there!
If you make another move, I’ll kill them all!"
Wesley Hawthorne’s voice came from outside the gate.
Nina Jacobs looked over, somewhat surprised.
She saw Wesley Hawthorne holding several heavily injured people bound by Wood Element Vines.
Every one of them looked to be severely wounded.
"You think I’m here to save people?"
Nina Jacobs asked.
She didn’t know those people at all.
Wesley Hawthorne’s threat had no effect on her.
"She’s not your companion?!"
Wesley Hawthorne looked at Tina Rhodes beside him.
But Tina Rhodes just laughed.
"Of course not.
Hey, beautiful, don’t worry about us.
Just go ahead and kill him."
’Just now, that damn old man ran over and said there was trouble outside, telling Wesley Hawthorne to escape quickly.’
’So I just went ahead and said our companions were here to rescue us.’
’Knowing Wesley Hawthorne’s personality, he would definitely use us to threaten the person outside.’
’Even the old man said the person outside was powerful.’
’That means she’s really powerful.’
’I won’t let Wesley Hawthorne leave here alive.’
’I’m already prepared to die.’
"Watch your back!"
The moment Tina Rhodes finished speaking, Alan Langdon, who was beside her, clearly saw the boy behind Nina Jacobs slowly getting to his feet.
His posture was clearly one of attack!
"Go to hell!"
Countless embroidery needles shot straight for the back of Nina Jacobs’s head!
Madness filled the boy’s eyes.
Just as he thought he was about to succeed, a Fire Shield materialized behind Nina Jacobs.
"I’m going to kill you!"
Seeing his sneak attack fail again...
...the boy, his mouth full of blood, roared.
All the metal objects in the courtyard were brought under his Control, and every last one of them flew at Nina Jacobs!
"So young, yet so vicious."
Nina Jacobs said, watching the boy who had descended into a frenzy.
The Fire Shield she had just conjured was something she had prepared in advance; it even had a layer of Stone Shield inside it.
Otherwise, it might not have been enough to block the boy’s attack.
An incredibly fast Fireball shot directly at him.
Although a Fireball of this lethal intensity would consume a lot of Nina Jacobs’s Superpower...
...the vicious boy before her had to be killed.
’Nina Jacobs had just noticed that although the woman had a Thunder Element Superpower...’
’...her actual strength was quite weak.’
’For these four to be able to stir up so much trouble here, there must be someone powerful among them.’
’Wesley Hawthorne has a Wood Element Superpower, but he only dared to threaten me with hostages.’
’Besides the old man who could barely walk...’
’...that only leaves this boy.’
Besides that, the moves he’d used earlier couldn’t help but remind her of something from her past life.
That was why she had been on guard against him the whole time.
The metal objects in mid-air clattered to the ground.
The boy clutched his chest and fell, his eyes wide open.
[Detected that Host’s action will save 2,373 humans in a few days. "Selfless Savior" title triggered. Reward: 2,373 bottles of Healing Potion.]
[Detected that Host has completed an act of self-defense. "The Best Defender" title triggered. Reward: "Powerful Gloves"!]
’2,373 people?!’
As shocked as she was, Nina Jacobs was now almost certain.
The boy before her was "The Zombie Demon Child" from her past life.
In her past life, the reason City J was so difficult to enter...
...was reportedly because there was a child-sized Gold Element mutant zombie at its border.
That zombie was incredibly powerful.
It could control a sky full of needles, making them rain down like a torrential downpour.
By only the fifth month of the apocalypse, it had already evolved into an Intermediate Mutant Zombie.
Someone had named it "The Zombie Demon Child."
City D had sent troops to exterminate it several times.
They only succeeded on their third attempt, and even then, they suffered heavy losses.
Before that, the number of people who had died at the hands of this Gold Element zombie was already countless...
When the boy named Hugh had used the embroidery needles earlier, she had been reminded of The Zombie Demon Child’s signature move.
Now, seeing the number of people saved according to the system prompt...
...she feared this boy, Hugh, was none other than The Zombie Demon Child before he turned into a zombie.
The woman at the side stared in terror at the boy, whose abdomen had been blasted through.
"AAAAAH, she killed Hugh!
She killed Hugh!"
the woman shrieked.
’How could this happen?’
’Everything had been going so smoothly before. They’d never failed.’
"You’re too noisy."
With another Fireball, the woman’s life was ended.
Seemingly caught off guard by how decisively Nina Jacobs acted, even Tina Rhodes and the others across the yard were stunned.
"He’s running!"
Alan Langdon shouted.
Wesley Hawthorne bolted, but before he could take two steps, Nina Jacobs appeared before him like a phantom.
"Didn’t you say there were Zombie Rats?
Where are they?"
Nina Jacobs asked.
All that commotion just now didn’t lure out a single Zombie Rat.
She was a little disappointed.
"The... the Zombie Rats, before, we used people...
we used people to lure them away and then... then burned them all..."
Wesley Hawthorne stammered.
"It was them!
They used innocent people to lure the Zombie Rats, then set a trap,
and burned the people and the Zombie Rats together!"
Tina Rhodes shouted.
"So you were lying to me after all.
What a shame, burning up so many Zombie Rats."
Nina Jacobs said regretfully after hearing this.
"A... a shame?"
Wesley Hawthorne was very close to Nina Jacobs.
He looked at Nina Jacobs fearfully.
The next second, his eyes turned vicious.
Wesley Hawthorne looked smugly at Nina Jacobs, who was clutching her abdomen.
Just as he thought his sneak attack had succeeded, he found that Nina Jacobs was already prepared.
"And here I was, wondering what you were hiding." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Nina Jacobs was holding a syringe.
There was still liquid inside it. This was what Wesley Hawthorne had just tried to use in his sneak attack on her.
