After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret-Chapter 184: The Goal He Strives For

Myra Lawson agreed without a second thought.

"That batch of weapons and supplies you had Shirley Lucas bring back last time,"

"Shirley was clamoring to pick out the best house for you guys,"

she said with a smile.

In truth, Justin Lawson had already set aside a house for Nina Jacobs’s family long ago.

The location was, naturally, the best as well.

Adding two more wouldn’t be difficult at all.

"If you have any other requests, just let me know.

It’s fine even if you can’t think of anything right now,"

Myra Lawson offered generously.

Nina Jacobs shook her head. "Really, this is just a gesture from me.

Keeping them is useless to me, so it’s better to give them to people who need them.

Besides, I also want City D Base to get better and better."

Nina Jacobs felt a little like she was fishing for compliments after getting a good deal.

But Myra Lawson was especially moved.

"By the way, about this type of Crystal Core, I still don’t know what it’s specifically called,"

Nina Jacobs asked indirectly.

’The Aegis Conclave must already know about the existence of the Mystic Ice Cores.’

’But judging from Myra Lawson’s expression, she probably doesn’t know yet.’

"I’ll have to report this, but it will be in the name of the City D Base.

We will do everything in our power to protect you. You can rest assured on that point,"

Myra Lawson promised.

However, the main reason she had asked to see Nina Jacobs today was actually to ask about these special Crystal Cores.

"Could there be other places that also have these Crystal Cores?"

Myra Lawson asked.

"I think so."

Nina Jacobs nodded.

’That Ice Element mutated zombie found near Verdant Supermarket probably didn’t come from Rexton Mountain.’

’After all, the two locations are very far apart.’

’And that bag of Mystic Ice Cores Honey Summers had could have been found in City J.’

"You’re right. Besides City J, other places might have them too..."

Myra Lawson said, pulling out a map of City J and falling into deep thought.

When Nina Jacobs came out of the private meeting room, Ian Chandler was waiting outside.

"Did you get everything stored away?"

She knew that after Ian returned, he would need to go to the warehouse to empty the supplies from his space.

"Yeah. Most of it was supplies for the new base.

I’m keeping the more important remaining supplies with me for now.

I have tomorrow off and won’t be going on a mission until the day after,"

Ian Chandler replied.

The shelter would be transferring supplies to the new base soon, especially general goods.

"I didn’t expect the base to be finished so quickly."

Nina Jacobs had just asked Myra Lawson about it.

The new base was being completed faster than expected. In five days at the latest, they could start transferring survivors over in waves.

"Yeah, it’s incredibly convenient to have Earth Element Superpower Users participating in the construction.

Plus, there were already a lot of new, pre-apocalypse buildings within the area the base cordoned off,"

Ian Chandler said as they walked.

It had been a long time since he’d been able to just walk and chat with Nina Jacobs like this.

Until a voice came from the corner up ahead.

"You don’t need to apologize. I don’t need this.

And please, don’t come looking for me again in the future."

The voice sounded rather familiar.

But Nina Jacobs didn’t stop walking.

Just then, two figures emerged from around the corner.

The woman trailing behind seemed anxious.

She wanted to explain herself but noticed the two approaching them.

"Ian? You’re back."

Adrian Shaw felt a sense of relief.

He glanced at the woman beside Ian Chandler and saw she was an unfamiliar face.

"Yeah, I’m back."

Ian Chandler had no choice but to stop.

"I’ll wait for you up ahead,"

Nina Jacobs said to Ian, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Okay."

Ian Chandler nodded.

Nina Jacobs walked straight to a spot where the others were out of sight before she stopped.

At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

’Adrian Shaw.’

’One of Justin Lawson’s most capable subordinates.’

’In her past life, she had merely guided him once by chance, helping him escape a road swarming with zombies.’

’After that, Adrian Shaw began to pursue her relentlessly.’

’Even though she clearly rejected him, the man had an obsessive personality and would even frequently go looking for trouble with Liam Grant.’

’Liam Grant was both afraid of him and hated him.’

’Because Adrian Shaw had a certain amount of influence in the base.’

’And Justin Lawson trusted him a great deal.’

’Later on, he was part of the reason they left City D Base.’

That was why she had avoided him outright just now.

’In this life, she hadn’t run into Adrian Shaw outside the base.’

’That soap-opera-like incident from her previous life shouldn’t happen.’

’But the woman behind Adrian Shaw just now... was that Liam Grant’s sister, Hannah Grant?’

Back at the corner of the hallway.

Ian Chandler was about to leave when he heard Adrian Shaw ask casually, as if it were an afterthought:

"Who was that with you just now?"

Ian Chandler glanced in the direction Nina Jacobs had gone and said:

"She just got back. You wouldn’t know her.

I’m heading out first, Shaw."

"Mm."

Adrian Shaw nodded, not pressing the matter further.

"Let’s go, Nina."

The moment Ian Chandler saw Nina Jacobs leaning against the railing, waiting for him, he beamed and walked over.

"By the way, where are you going for your mission the day after tomorrow? Is it difficult?"

Nina Jacobs asked. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"A place called Beldane Island."

"The mission shouldn’t be too hard. We’re just going to meet up with a group of people,

and bring back some of their military supplies. Have you ever been to Beldane Island, Nina?"

Before the apocalypse, Beldane Island was a tourist attraction.

It wasn’t very famous because the island wasn’t large, and since a military unit was stationed on its mountain, it was never fully developed.

"No. Why did you take this mission?"

Nina Jacobs tried her best to keep her emotions in check.

’Beldane Island is located on the outskirts of City D.’

’In her past life, the shelter had also sent a team to meet them, but they were completely wiped out on the way back.’

’No one knew what happened.’

She had long forgotten about it, so she was surprised to hear Ian Chandler mention it now.

"You’ve already advanced to an Intermediate Superpower User, Nina. I have to work harder, too,"

Ian Chandler said with a smile.

Nina Jacobs was the goal he was striving for.

To reach that goal, he had to train his Superpower diligently.

"Then... can I go with you?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

’If it’s a classified mission, she’d have to find another way to stop him.’

’If it isn’t, she could at least go and save Ian.’

Ian Chandler blinked. "Of course, you can! I can even apply for points for you!"

You could earn points for participating in missions.

Not just anyone could join a mission, but Nina Jacobs was an exception.

"Okay, I’ll be waiting for you then.

If you have any materials or intel on Beldane Island, let me see them too."

Nina Jacobs decided to use the time she had to research the matter.

Before returning to her residence.

Nina Jacobs went to check on Pascal Paige and the others.

Sheila Rhodes was still quietly reading her book of poetry.

"I found these for you. I’ll take you to meet some people tomorrow."

Nina Jacobs gave Sheila a few sets of clean clothes.

She had already told Myra Lawson about Sheila’s situation.

And Warren Rhodes had once been Myra Lawson’s superior.

Therefore, Myra took the matter very seriously and planned to contact City A as soon as possible.

"Thank you for the trouble, Nina."

Sheila Rhodes accepted the bundle.

"Nina, did you know?

We just saw those people in the shelter,"

Pascal Paige piped up, sidling closer.

"Who?"

"Those people who were with Sheila.

Oh, wait, I think it was just Zoe Morgan and that girl Chase Gallagher sent flying."

Pascal Paige hadn’t expected them to come to the City D shelter too.
