After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: No One Can Escape

"W-why?"

Crimson blood seeped through her fingers. Nina Jacobs clutched her stabbed abdomen, staring in disbelief at the boyfriend who had once shared life and death with her.

She had just survived a battle, her Superpower and stamina completely drained. At this moment, she had no strength to fight back.

"Nina Jacobs, we’ve helped you far too much,

The position of base leader should have been mine."

A flicker of conflict crossed Liam Grant’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by cold indifference.

"Renee, save me."

Nina Jacobs reached out to her friend, Renee Strong.

Renee Strong was an Advanced Healer. If she used her Superpower to treat the wound, it would heal in no time.

But Renee Strong walked over to Liam Grant instead.

"Liam, should I save her or not?"

Liam Grant wrapped his arm around Renee Strong’s waist as she looked at Nina Jacobs with a mocking gaze.

"We’ve put up with her for long enough. It’s time to end this."

Liam Grant replied.

"So you two really are together."

Nina Jacobs looked at the other four people in the room.

It was the fifth year of the apocalypse.

She had always considered them her companions.

But as her gaze swept over them, not a single person was willing to help her.

"Nina Jacobs, if we hadn’t been with you through thick and thin, you would’ve died long ago,

I was just having a little fun with a few women, and you dared to break my legs?!"

"It’s all thanks to Strong’s kindness that my legs were healed,

and to think I actually used to like you."

As if savoring his successful revenge, Ivan Lawson caressed Nina Jacobs’s face, then viciously shoved her away.

"Nina Jacobs, my daughter didn’t have to die back then,

Why did you stop me from saving her? Just because she was a burden with no Superpower?

You’re the one who killed the only family I had left!"

Shannon Renner sobbed as she hurled her accusation.

"Sorry, Nina Jacobs, but the base doesn’t need you anymore,

What the base needs now is a qualified manager."

Simon Abbott adjusted his glasses, as if trying to hide his own guilt.

"Wyatt Jacobs, you think so too?"

Nina Jacobs looked at Wyatt Jacobs, who stood last. They were cousins, and although they had argued along the way, she had always treated him like her own younger brother.

"Whether you live or die doesn’t matter to me anymore,

I’m the strongest Gold Element Superpower User in the base now,

With you dead, Brother Liam will give me the best resources."

Wyatt Jacobs looked down on the weakened Nina Jacobs.

To him, Nina Jacobs was no longer useful.

"Is that so?

Fine. Just fine."

Nina Jacobs started to laugh.

"Did you know, you’ve been a target for a long time?

Someone tried to buy your life multiple times before, and Liam always refused. But you just went too far!"

Renee Strong had expected Nina Jacobs to be terrified, but instead, her laughter grew louder and louder.

As she laughed, blood continued to gush from her wound, as if eager to escape.

"I’m laughing because... you still don’t know me at all."

Nina Jacobs called up the system interface that only she could see.

"What do you mean?"

Liam Grant suddenly had a bad feeling, but he dismissed it as impossible.

Nina Jacobs was cautious, but she couldn’t possibly be *that* cautious.

To avoid unwanted attention, they had specifically chosen this spot in the wilderness, far from the base, to deal with Nina Jacobs.

[Host, do you wish to destroy this Level 6 safe house?

If destroyed, the safe house will initiate self-destruct mode in ten seconds.]

At that moment, the system’s cold, mechanical voice sounded unusually warm.

"Destroy it."

Nina Jacobs was glad she had never told anyone about the system.

Because they had no idea that this dilapidated house they had chosen as a temporary location was, in fact, her safe house.

As the mechanical countdown began, a flash of excitement lit up Nina Jacobs’s eyes.

’If I’m going to die, then we’ll all die together.’

’No one is getting away.’

...

Pain. So much pain.
