Chapter 531: The Transformation of City D Base

When Nina Jacobs came downstairs, Vera Coleman had already prepared breakfast for the family.

Nina was surprised to find green vegetables inside the steamed buns.

The vegetables were a bit tough, but Walsh’s cooking was excellent. With the right seasoning, they still tasted fresh.

"These vegetables were cultivated by Professor Caldwell. He said he wanted to thank you in person when you got back."

Daniel Hale said, taking a sip of soy milk.

"Professor Blaine Caldwell?"

Nina asked in surprise.

She had almost forgotten that among the people she had rescued in Aethelgard, one of them was Blaine Caldwell, a professor of agricultural science from the Drakonian Academy of Agriculture.

Adrian Shaw had also mentioned that Professor Caldwell had participated in seed cultivation projects in outer space and had extensive experience in growing crops under extremely harsh climate conditions.

"That’s right. The old gentleman delivered the vegetables for these buns to our house himself."

Vera Coleman was proud of her daughter.

After Blaine Caldwell was brought back, City D Base established a special research group for apocalyptic agricultural technology.

The vegetables produced by Wood Element Ability Users were tasteless and essentially inedible, but the agricultural research group had successfully cultivated a type of vegetable that could be grown in a greenhouse.

Although the subsequent sudden extreme cold disrupted their research, the base was actively trying to find ways to cope.

Leo Hale added, "Professor Caldwell is truly amazing. The mushroom-type vegetables he cultivated are already being used in the base’s cafeteria."

"That’s good."

Nina felt a sense of relief upon hearing this.

City D Base was indeed much better off than in her previous life.

At this time in her past life, City D Base was struggling to cope with the sudden extreme cold, and countless people had frozen to death or suffered from frostbite.

As a result, when the zombie horde arrived, they could only seal the main gates. Although the strong walls held against the horde, the zombies lingered outside the base for a full three months, consuming a great deal of manpower and resources.

But in this life, City D Base had detected the zombie horde before it even formed...

’Could this be thanks to Liam Grant’s so-called precognitive dreams?’

Nina only knew that Liam Grant was currently preparing to make a big move. He had made extensive preparations to face this zombie horde.

"I’m finished."

Nina stood up. Since there was a chance to stop the zombie horde, she had to do her best to stop it.

After all, she didn’t want to be trapped inside the base by zombies for three months either.

Outside the door, the members of the Stellarys Team were already waiting for Nina.

When they saw Nina and Wayne Warner come out, everyone’s smiles were warm, despite the freezing cold.

Wayne Abbott drove up in a medium-duty heavy truck, large enough to fit the entire Stellarys Team.

"Captain, you’re finally back."

Paisley Paige stepped forward and hugged Nina, her eyes welling with tears.

She had been busy treating the injured until late last night and hadn’t wanted to disturb Nina’s rest.

"Yes, I’m back. I hear you’re an Intermediate Healer now. Congratulations."

Nina said with a smile, sitting inside the truck.

It wasn’t just Paisley Paige; Jessica Vance and Holden Shaw had also become Intermediate Superpower Users.

She heard that Holden Shaw had been putting himself through hellish training every day to complete the task Nina had given him.

"Sorry, I couldn’t complete the mission."

Chase Gallagher said, looking ashamed.

Before Nina left them at the Bishop Clan, she had given the three of them a mission: to advance to Intermediate Superpower within three months.

But he still hadn’t managed to advance.

"It’s harder for a Dual Element Superpower User to advance than a single-element one. Don’t worry. The only reason I left you that mission was to encourage you to train hard."

Nina said.

She had already used the system last night to check on everyone’s status in the Stellarys Team.

Chase Gallagher’s Superpower Value was already close to that of an Intermediate Superpower User. With more training over the next two months, he would surely advance.

Chase Gallagher nodded. "Also, about Kyle Keaton—he and his sister, Aidan Keaton, went to the Arisdale Base command. I’m afraid they won’t be able to return until the weather improves."

Nina had saved a spot for Aidan Keaton on the Stellarys Team, and Aidan had indeed joined. However, she also wanted to seek justice for the people who had been wrongfully killed in Aethelgard.

With the help of Adrian Shaw and Justin Lawson, they had gone with a team from the base to Arisdale Base to report Justin Stone.

She just didn’t know what the situation was now, or if Justin Stone had been punished.

Nina smiled. "They should have succeeded. If I’m not mistaken, Riventon Base should be under the command’s control by now."

’In any case, Justin Stone already died at my hands, though I’ll never tell anyone that.’

"Really? That’s great!"

Leo Hale, who despised evil, was surprised to hear the outcome from Nina so soon.

"C-Captain, what are we doing today?"

Elara Dolan asked, blushing.

Once lacking confidence because of her pre-apocalypse figure, Elara Dolan had now transformed into a cute, wide-eyed girl. Although she still sounded a little unsure of herself, she was no longer the quiet girl who was afraid to speak up and fade into the background.

"We’re going to stop a zombie horde."

Nina replied with a smile.

Stop a zombie horde?

Elara Dolan’s eyes widened when she heard that.

Beyond her shock, her eyes were also filled with excitement.

"That’s our captain for you! The moment she’s back, she’s taking us to do something big! HAHAHAHA, awesome!"

Warren Ramsey, the Wood Element Ability User, exclaimed happily.

What could be more exciting than the boss leading them on a huge mission?

The group met up with the base’s main team right on time.

The contingent heading out numbered 500 people, led by Myra Lawson and Chester Pearson.

When they saw Nina, the two of them exchanged a smile.

"When I got back yesterday, I heard a Fire Element Superpower User had resolved the situation at the docks. I guessed it was you."

Chester Pearson said to Nina like an old friend as she stepped out of the truck.

There hadn’t been any good news for days, and everyone was on edge as if facing a great enemy.

Then yesterday, he heard a surprising piece of news.

A Fire Element Superpower User had melted the ice at the docks.

He couldn’t think of anyone else it could be besides Nina.

"It was just a coincidence. I ran into a little helper on the road, and her weapon was a huge help."

Nina said.

There were a lot of zombies trapped in the underground cargo tunnel at the time, and Nia’s Red Lotus Box was incredibly effective.

"Oh? What kind of new weapon is it? Let me see it for myself sometime."

Chester Pearson asked curiously.

Adrian Paige’s expression shifted slightly when he saw Nina.

"What did you promise her yesterday?"

he asked Myra Lawson, who was standing beside him.

"Nothing at all."

Myra Lawson replied.

Nina was willing to help and didn’t ask for any reward.

She only asked that the members of the Stellarys Team be allowed to come along.

"Why?"

This made Adrian Paige even more confused.

Why was it that he was willing to offer Crystal Cores, yet still couldn’t hire Nina, while Myra Lawson succeeded every time?

Myra was speechless.

She really wanted to point out his problem, but considering Adrian Paige’s status, she held her tongue.

The team heading out to divert the zombie horde set off once again.

Although everyone was staying indoors because of the weather, the departure of fully equipped tanks and heavy trucks still drew a lot of attention.

"Hmph. Trying to divert a zombie horde? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard."

Amelia Vance said, standing behind a glass window and watching the massive procession outside.

"You’re right. It’s impossible to stop them."

a man with a rather gaunt face agreed.

Liam Grant watched the convoy below.

’The extreme cold zombie horde... it already happened in my past life.’

’After this is over, Justin Lawson’s prestige will plummet.’

’Whatever these people do now, it’s all in vain...’

Meanwhile, Nina had already activated a "First Superpower Card."
