Her position had clearly been hit by the blast, but thanks to the shield, she appeared completely unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the factory, thick with the smell of gunpowder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the others’ impending attacks, Nina Jacobs’s expression remained unchanged as the Vajra Shield before her dissolved into particles of sand and stone that floated around her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Fire Serpent roared to life and charged the burly man, who was just about to launch another attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao the Fourth, look out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late.

It was the first time they had met Nina Jacobs, and they never imagined she would be so ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more shocking was the fact that the rocket blast had failed to harm either of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’re allowed to kill me, but I’m not allowed to kill you back?\" Nina Jacobs retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After killing Zhao the Fourth, the system triggered my \"Justifiable Self-Defense\" title.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Including Icarus Golding, that leaves nine of them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think you’re looking to die!

She’s a Space Superpower User.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Tyson Hughes instantly appeared behind Amy Lynch and saw, just as expected, a grenade clutched in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to take them all down with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re that eager to die, I’ll grant your wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cold glint in his eyes, Tyson Hughes grabbed Amy Lynch with one hand and vanished from the factory in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the sound of an explosion echoed from the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs pulled an envelope from Leon Young’s body. The handwriting inside was flamboyant, but all it said was a single address.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for Tamberly, the place they had just mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She remembered them saying it was a supply pickup point, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of interest lit up in Nina Jacobs’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put the envelope away before Tyson Hughes got back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Tyson Hughes returned, he saw that Nina Jacobs had tied up Icarus Golding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear, however, that Icarus Golding had already turned into a zombie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why is she tying up a zombie?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyson Hughes couldn’t help but ask the question out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When a Mutated Zombie confronts a human, it reacts by attacking or defending with its Superpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Icarus Golding was a Space Element Superpower User before he died.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyson Hughes burst out laughing. \"Don’t tell me you’re trying to get the stuff out of its pocket dimension?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time he had ever seen someone try to loot a zombie’s pocket dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his laughter died down quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs had only restrained the zombie’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged, Zombie Icarus Golding opened its maw wide and swung its arms at Nina Jacobs, throwing several heavy-looking bags at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs, meanwhile, had produced two inflatable cushions from somewhere and used them to neatly catch the bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They turned out to be several bags of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Nina Jacobs began to gleefully provoke Zombie Icarus Golding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few minutes, she had acquired more than ten bags of food supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they were all the largest size available—25-kilogram sacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tyson Hughes watched from the sidelines, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He couldn’t believe this was actually working.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zombie Icarus Golding even tossed out an entire iron cabinet.
