After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret-Chapter 143: Who Are They Looking For?
Everyone cheered when they heard someone was treating.
Autumn Lewis immediately found several large pots and began boiling water for everyone with her Water Element Superpower.
"Girl, don’t get carried away,"
"make sure you keep some of that food for yourself."
The female stall owner from before walked up to Nina Jacobs and advised her in a low voice.
"You can trade Crystal Cores for supplies in the City D shelter,
and besides, this stuff was a windfall anyway.
It’s best to use up a windfall quickly."
In addition to the dozens of packs of instant noodles and some dried noodles, Nina Jacobs also took out some more packaged ramen from her car.
The aroma of instant noodles soon filled the air.
"We thought the City D shelter was just as unreliable as the camp in City J,
but from what you’re saying, it actually sounds legit."
The crowd gathered around the large pots, discussing amongst themselves while swallowing hard.
"Yeah, I was thinking we shouldn’t bother making the trip,
to avoid running into any more trouble on the road.
But if we can trade Crystal Cores for supplies, maybe we should go check it out before deciding?"
"Sounds like a plan. Hey, girl,
can you tell us more about what it’s like over there?"
Timothy Renner asked.
He had just traded with Nina Jacobs that afternoon and believed she was completely trustworthy.
"The situation... in City D,
you guys probably know they’re building a base there, right?
I remember they were recruiting heavily before I left,
especially Superpower Users. You get Points for helping build the base..."
As Nina Jacobs spoke, the crowd’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Even the little boy Yuri Rhodes and Autumn Lewis, who were standing to the side, looked on with longing.
"Looks like she really is from City D."
Phoebe Vance stood at a distance.
She could also hear what Nina Jacobs was saying.
Although they didn’t know much about City D, they knew that Nina Jacobs wasn’t lying.
"Someone this stupid,
I bet she’ll be scammed out of everything within a few days."
Jordan Vaughn leaned against a wall nearby, his arms crossed over his chest.
First, she was chased by zombies, then she got lost, and now she was giving away her supplies to treat everyone.
And to top it off, she had that idiotic follower of hers.
No matter how he looked at it, they seemed destined for an early grave.
But the aroma of the instant noodles was just too enticing. Jordan Vaughn couldn’t resist asking the Space Superpower User, Phoebe Vance, for a few cups of noodles as well...
After Nina Jacobs returned to her room, she immediately laid out a full dinner for Wayne Warner.
If Wayne Warner had joined the meal just now, there probably wouldn’t have been enough food.
Only then did Wayne Warner begin to wolf down his food.
He even pushed a plate of dumplings toward Nina Jacobs.
Nina Jacobs was full after just a few bites.
She was more concerned about the group of people downstairs.
’Why were they looking for the Superpower Users who had arrived this afternoon?’
’And why did they have that expression when they heard the only newcomers were the two of them?’
’Who exactly were they looking for?’
Nina Jacobs activated "Five Senses Enhancement."
She realized that in addition to the people who had come inside at first, the entire abandoned building was actually surrounded by their men.
Nina Jacobs estimated there were at least 200 of them.
However, they showed no reaction when they heard her mention City D.
’The possibility of them being from the Superpower User Alliance is almost zero.’
"...How could there be a supply point like this?
It’s been so long, everything in the cold storage must have melted by now, right?"
Her "Five Senses Enhancement" finally picked up something Nina Jacobs wanted to hear.
The voice seemed to belong to the man named Jordan Vaughn.
’And they mentioned cold storage?’
"According to the intel we got, Cold Storage #7 has a Light Energy Storage Element.
Combined with its previously stored power, the cooling system could last for a month and a half after a power outage.
That’s why I believe it’s definitely a supply point with viable goods."
Phoebe Vance analyzed, looking at the tablet in front of her.
’Cold Storage #7...’
Nina Jacobs was stunned.
’Isn’t that the cold storage she had completely emptied out today?’
’Are these people here to look for supplies?’
"What if we come up empty?
This part of City J isn’t safe. We take losses every time we go somewhere."
Jordan Vaughn slurped his instant noodles loudly.
"Yeah, we finally made it to Verdant Supermarket today,
but who knows which damn bastards cleaned it out.
If some team hit a jackpot like that,
wouldn’t they be set for half their lives?"
"That depends on if they can stomach it."
Finn Hart walked out, dripping with water.
He had just bathed, and a bathrobe was tied loosely around his waist.
"This place is filthy.
Is my room ready?
Remember, all the bedding must be replaced with disposable ones.
The same goes for the carpet and the wall coverings."
After Finn Hart finished speaking, an attendant stepped forward.
"Mr. Hart, it has all been prepared according to your requirements."
"Mm, and the disinfection? Has that been done too?"
"It has all been disinfected."
"Has my personal coffee machine been brought out yet..."
"..."
Nina Jacobs listened, speechless, to this sudden interjection.
An unknown amount of time passed before she finally heard something useful again.
"...According to the investigation report from Chase Gallagher and his team,
there are several teams with ten or more Space Superpower Users.
Ethan Abbott’s team has been completely wiped out,
and two others are in the far north of City J, so they couldn’t have reached Verdant Supermarket yesterday.
That only leaves these few..."
"Then investigate them one by one. Whoever took my supplies is going to have to spit them back out."
Finn Hart’s voice rang out again.
’So it was because of Verdant Supermarket?’
Nina Jacobs instantly understood.
’To think that the person they were looking for was actually her...’
’It seemed that after she and Wayne Warner left Verdant Supermarket, this group had gone there too.’
’They just hadn’t found anything.’
’That’s why they wanted to find the team that had cleared out Verdant Supermarket.’
’However, their next destination, Cold Storage #7, would probably disappoint them as well...’
’Because she had already cleaned it out completely.’
’Who on earth are they?’
Nina Jacobs couldn’t pick up any more useful information.
But based on these conversations alone, she deduced that their target was likely the supplies in City J.
’Could they be a new, up-and-coming team in City J?’
Back in her room, Nina Jacobs opened 0-Cost Shopping Task 19.
After she cleared Cold Storage #7, Task 19 had immediately appeared.
[Apocalypse Survival Mission Activated: 0-Cost Shopping Task 19
Mission Details: The supplies at Aerodyne Corporation will be destroyed in 2 days. Please clear out 70% of the supplies before then.
Mission Reward: 1 System Storage Slot, +150 Experience Points.
Mission Difficulty: ★★★★★]
It was a five-star mission, the highest difficulty.
This meant the amount of supplies would be enormous.
The map showed that it was a four-hour drive from here to Aerodyne Corporation.
She planned to set out tomorrow.
It would also be a good chance to avoid Hart’s group.
「Nighttime.」
While checking her and Wayne Warner’s Superpower status, she made a discovery.
The small puddle of energy inside her body had grown a size larger.
Lately, she could clearly feel the increase of Superpower Energy within her.
This feeling was directly reflected on her personal status panel.
Her initial Superpower Value had increased from 20/100 to 35/100.
Based on her past life’s experience, when a Superpower Value reached 50, that was when one advanced to become an Intermediate Superpower User.
Wayne Warner’s Superpower Value had already reached a high of 27/100.
Even his Affinity score had gone from 80/100 to 95/100.
This was one of the reasons why Nina Jacobs had started being less secretive around Wayne Warner.
Even after being brutally beaten by Dylan Quinn, he had never betrayed her...
The apocalyptic night was very quiet.
Just then, Nina Jacobs clearly sensed someone outside her door.
Just as she was about to release her Little Zombie Rat to check the situation,
Wayne Warner opened the door and dragged someone inside.
"It’s you?"
Nina Jacobs stared at the newcomer, somewhat surprised.
