After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Better to Use Your Own Things

When no one was looking, Nina Jacobs took Ben Stone to the mall’s underground parking garage.

Although the entrances and exits of the garage were blocked by cars, it wasn’t a problem to walk through the middle.

Nina Jacobs gave Ben Stone a matching set of the same raincoat and protective suit she was wearing.

"Why do I have to wear this? My mom said someone would come pick me up in a car."

Ben Stone was a little disgruntled, but he put it on anyway.

"You’ll see when we get outside. Cars can’t get in at all. If you want to leave this place, your only choice is to follow me."

Nina Jacobs was starting to doubt whether Ben Stone could make it the rest of the way.

Her worries, as it turned out, were not unfounded.

After a great deal of effort, the two of them finally made it out of the garage, but Ben Stone refused to go any further after just a short distance.

The acid rain continued to pour down. Nina Jacobs spotted a few two-wheeled electric scooters that had fallen over by the side of the road and hurried over.

The scooters’ lights were still on, and the keys were still in the ignition. Nina Jacobs tested one and found it was perfectly rideable. She guessed the original owners must have abandoned their vehicles and fled.

This worked out conveniently for her and Ben Stone.

Nina Jacobs discovered that as long as she was moving through the acid rain, even riding an electric scooter didn’t affect her mission’s progress.

The center of the road was still choked with vehicles, but luckily, the scooter could navigate through some of the smaller side paths.

[Mission "Host’s First Adventure" detected. Duration has reached 120 minutes. Mission reward has been issued.]

Out in the heavy rain, Nina Jacobs laughed aloud under her protective face shield.

The First Superpower Card—she had it!

Back at Daniel Hale’s house, Vera Coleman was scrolling through her phone, tears streaming down her face.

’It was so dangerous outside. Why on earth had I let my daughter go out and risk her life?’

’Nina had finally, after so much difficulty, started talking to me normally and was even willing to move in with me. Why did something like this have to happen?’

"Vera, please don’t cry. That girl, Nina, she’s sharp. She’ll definitely be alright."

Daniel Hale had always treated Vera Coleman the best, and now he was filled with immense regret that he hadn’t gone with Nina Jacobs.

If something really happened to Nina Jacobs, Vera Coleman would never forgive him.

"She’s back! That’s Nina Jacobs’s car!"

Leo Hale had been staring out the window. Even though he and Nina Jacobs didn’t get along, he didn’t want anything to happen to her. The moment he saw the SUV, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Nina Jacobs returned with Ben Stone.

The moment Jenna Sullivan saw Ben Stone, they both burst into tears.

After seeing the people in the room, Ben Stone dropped to his knees with a THUD in front of Daniel Hale.

"Uncle Hale, you’re my savior!"

Ben Stone’s words made Daniel Hale’s expression turn awkward.

’Nina Jacobs was clearly the one who had saved Ben Stone; I hadn’t done a thing!’

Nina Jacobs, who was being checked over by Vera Coleman, had no reaction when she heard this.

"Yes, yes, son, hurry and properly thank your Uncle Hale. From now on, while you’re getting by in City D, your Uncle Hale can look out for you."

Nanny Sullivan chimed in from the side.

"Nanny Sullivan, Nina was the one who saved your son. My dad didn’t do anything."

Leo Hale couldn’t stand it anymore. He was even starting to regret letting Nina Jacobs take this risk.

People like Ben Stone were the type he and his buddies looked down on the most.

"Now, Mr. Hale, listen to you. When it comes down to it, your father was the one who made the decision. If Mr. Hale hadn’t given the order, who would have gone to save my son!"

As she spoke, she covered her face and began to cry again.

"Nanny Sullivan, why don’t you two go rest for now. You’re not needed here today."

Vera Coleman was angry.

’So I made my daughter rescue an ungrateful wretch.’
