The sound of a phone could be heard near them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed to be scrolling through videos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to their incessant mockery, Nina Jacobs felt an inexplicable rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her past life, after the zombie virus broke out, countless people in Drakonia had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a month, the population of over a billion had been reduced to less than ten percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who survived didn’t have time to grieve; everyone was just struggling to stay alive in the aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herself included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the only survivors left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now was different.

I’m looking for Warren Rhodes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warren Rhodes. The old minister who, in her past life, had willingly tested the antidote on himself, sacrificing his life for Drakonia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the person Nina Jacobs respected most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs didn’t know if the call would go through. She had hidden in the safe house because inside, neither satellites nor radar could track her location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could contact the outside world from within the safe house, but nothing could penetrate it from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone tried to pinpoint her location, it would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The operator’s response was reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma’am, you can state your request to me. I’m operator 00923. I will record the details and report them to my superiors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs was silent for a moment before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Warren Rhodes’s granddaughter. Please have him contact me within half an hour. It’s urgent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had found the phone during a mission, so there was no way for them to trace it back to her. Besides, she had just used a voice changer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it all depended on whether Warren Rhodes would take the initiative to contact her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In half an hour, she would put the phone into her system’s storage. Once it was in there, it would be completely unreachable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The minutes ticked by. Just as Nina Jacobs was about to give up hope of hearing from Warren Rhodes, a call from an unknown private number came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Warren Rhodes. Who is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warren Rhodes did his best to keep his voice steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the acid rain began, his granddaughter had been away at high school in another city. The family still hadn’t been able to contact her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had dispatched people to find her, but they had turned up nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The call log indicated the number was from City D and registered to an elderly male, while his granddaughter’s school was a great distance from City D.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was most likely an impersonator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, to his surprise, the caller admitted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, Mr. Rhodes. I’m not your granddaughter, but it is imperative that you listen to what I’m about to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs took a deep breath and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, the zombie virus is transmitted primarily through blood contact. Both scratches and bites can cause rapid infection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second, to kill a zombie, you must destroy its head. Attacking any other part of the body is ineffective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third, the transformation into a zombie is irreversible. Do not hold out any hope. They must be killed on sight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth, preserving your fighting strength is essential.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly are you trying to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warren Rhodes was in his private office. Just today, he had received a series of urgent dispatches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of them detailed cases of people developing rabies-like symptoms after the acid rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now this androgynous voice on the phone was also mentioning \"scratches\" and \"bites.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, the caller knew about his granddaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was about to press for more information, the other party hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he tried calling back, all he got was a dead tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could this be some kind of prank?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his intuition told him the caller wasn’t joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lewis, come in here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warren Rhodes called for the department’s technical analyst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need you to trace this number and find its location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1264,"2026-05-29T03:44:18.636Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","1ad582b95f8b7756c0bb9f338594cbadacce48fa06b258dd6fb3849cf2f30552","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-33","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-31",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-cover.jpg"]
