After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret-Chapter 150: An Easy Departure
Nina Jacobs didn’t respond.
She really didn’t know what to say.
She knew that no matter what she said, they wouldn’t believe her.
Since Holden Shaw’s camp was near Rexton Mountain, that was exactly where she was headed next.
At least she wouldn’t have to drive herself.
"And here I thought you were really from City D,
but it looks like the Tiger-Lion Squad doesn’t think much of you either.
Don’t you still have to hand over the supplies you worked so hard to find?"
Jane Dixon said with a smile.
They had overestimated these two.
"Is this all you’ve got?"
Nina Jacobs asked.
"What?"
Jane Dixon frowned.
"Supplies are first come, first served.
If you can’t find any, you just steal them from others?
Supplies that have been packed away have to be taken out for you.
Does the food you’ve already eaten have to be shit out and fed to you, too?"
Nina Jacobs had seen sore losers before.
But she’d never seen anyone this pathetic.
As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the car changed.
Especially Finn Hart’s.
"I think you’re just feeling guilty.
Supplies are public property now.
The amount of those supplies is massive. Ordinary people could never handle it all.
If they truly fell into private hands, that would be the real waste."
Phoebe Vance argued.
"Oh? And how can you guarantee it won’t be a waste if you take them?"
’Feeling guilty is impossible.’
’I collected those supplies with my own abilities; there’s no reason for me to feel guilty in front of these people.’
Besides, if those supplies could actually be used properly, the system’s mission wouldn’t have appeared in the first place.
"You probably don’t know who we are, do you?
Ever heard of having a legitimate reason for your actions?
We’re not like you.
If you know what’s good for you, you’d better tell us where the supplies in those locations are.
You might even be able to secure a future for yourself."
Shiloh was about to say more, but he saw Wayne Warner, next to Nina Jacobs, glaring at him with hostility.
He couldn’t help but frown.
’What’s with this guy? Isn’t he supposed to be a fool?’
"Then I’m afraid I really can’t say.
And I have no interest in your background either."
Nina Jacobs looked out the window at the road.
’These people won’t harm me before they find the supplies, but if they don’t find them, it’s a different story. Once we get there tonight and I get some clues, I need to get away as soon as possible...’
There were many zombies in City J.
The system map showed the road ahead was severely congested, but a moment later, they heard Finn Hart say:
"Change course. Detour to the west."
"Roger that. Everyone up front, listen up. The road ahead is dangerous, we must detour..."
The driver immediately got on the intercom to coordinate.
The convoy quickly changed direction and took a different route.
Nina Jacobs understood immediately.
’It seems this Finn Hart is a Spiritual Element Superpower User. No wonder they dare to venture into the city, even though they’re all outsiders.’
"See that? This is what you call strength.
You probably don’t even know what a Spiritual Element Superpower User is, do you?
Our Mr. Hart is a top talent, one in a million.
Coming here is what he calls training."
Shiloh said smugly, turning his head to Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner.
"Tch~"
The response came in the form of a soft scoff from Wayne Warner.
"Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?"
Shiloh was increasingly convinced that Wayne Warner was doing it on purpose.
Nina Jacobs was a little surprised.
At the same time, she was pleased that Wayne Warner’s vocabulary had expanded again.
"It’s normal that they don’t understand.
Spiritual Element Superpowers aren’t something you find everywhere.
Even in all of City A, you can count the number of them on one hand."
Phoebe Vance replied.
At least on this entire trip, they had never encountered another Spiritual Element Superpower User.
Nina Jacobs looked out the window.
’If Finn Hart is a Spiritual Element Superpower User, then I’ll have to be careful when using the system’s Invisibility Potion. The top priority is still to find the Mystic Ice Core as soon as possible.’
It was said that the Mystic Ice Core had the effect of shielding against detection from Spiritual Element Superpowers.
Silence seemed to be the best response.
Nina Jacobs’s silence instantly killed the mood for the others in the car.
The convoy finally arrived in front of an abandoned building that looked like it was in the middle of a wilderness.
Finn Hart noticed that Nina Jacobs truly seemed to be here for the first time.
"Are you really not with the Tiger-Lion Squad?"
Finn Hart asked before Nina Jacobs got out of the car.
"Since you won’t believe anything I say,
what difference does it make if I say yes or no?"
Nina Jacobs got out of the car and surveyed her surroundings.
The abandoned building ahead looked even more dilapidated than a derelict construction site.
Large water stains bled across the mottled walls.
Combined with some unsettling graffiti and bloodstains, it gave off a grim and terrifying feeling under the already dim sky.
While no one was paying attention, Jonathan Thatcher shot a look at a person to his side.
Then he walked over, his face plastered with a smile:
"Welcome, Mr. Hart, to our Tiger-Lion Squad’s camp.
It’s getting late. Why not rest here for the night?"
"No need.
My people just need to go inside and take a look at the warehouse."
After Finn Hart spoke, several people holding instruments emerged.
"This is..."
Jonathan Thatcher’s expression changed slightly when he saw the instruments.
"X-ray scanners, similar to security checkpoint machines.
Don’t worry, we won’t take any of the supplies that are rightfully yours."
Phoebe Vance replied.
"That’s good, that’s good..."
Although Jonathan Thatcher agreed verbally, his expression was filled with unease.
The two remaining Space Superpower Users in the camp were brought out for questioning.
Soon, the personnel who had gone to search for supplies returned.
"We found no trace of a large batch of supplies,
but..."
The person in charge of the search paused in front of Finn Hart.
"But what?"
Phoebe Vance asked.
"There are a lot of women locked up inside.
It seems... they’ve suffered long-term abuse."
Hearing that person’s answer, Jonathan Thatcher’s face instantly turned pale.
’This man seems to have a special status. He’s not going to take over this matter, is he? If that’s the case...’
However, Finn Hart showed no reaction at all upon hearing this:
"Since there’s nothing here, we should be going."
"Well then, take care, everyone.
It seems this conflict was just what we needed to get acquainted.
I wonder if Mr. Hart would be willing to befriend my Tiger-Lion Squad?"
A glint flashed in Jonathan Thatcher’s eyes.
’This group really seems capable. Befriending them definitely wouldn’t be a loss.’
However, Finn Hart merely shot him a look of disgust.
He turned and walked back to the car.
Leaving a mortified Jonathan Thatcher standing there.
Watching the group that had arrived with such fanfare leave so easily, Jonathan Thatcher spat at their backs:
"What’s there to be so arrogant about?
I hope you die in a zombie nest."
Meanwhile, Phoebe Vance looked puzzled.
"We’re just letting them go that easily?
What if they hid the supplies somewhere else..."
"If we don’t leave now, it might be too late."
Finn Hart’s expression was complicated.
"Too late?
Could it be..."
Shiloh and the others had looks of shock in their eyes.
"Based on the distribution of zombies in the area,
that place will probably be surrounded by zombies tonight."
Finn Hart replied.
"I see.
It’s a shame about the supplies in their warehouse, though."
Phoebe Vance understood.
But she felt not a shred of pity.
Finn Hart probably also felt those people’s deaths were no great loss...
"She was right.
Supplies that belong to others are never your own.
They’re dirty."
Everyone in the car knew who the "she" Finn Hart was referring to was.
Finn Hart looked out the window.
’It’s just a shame about such a promising Fire Element prospect...’
