After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Getting the Real-time Map

The Wellmart Convenience Store was in a low-lying area, and rainwater was already seeping in under the door.

Soon, the city’s drainage system would collapse, and this place would surely be the first to be flooded by the acid rain.

After storing all the supplies from the convenience store into her system storage slots, Nina Jacobs discovered a stockroom inside.

The stockroom was also piled high with full cases of supplies.

After she had stored all the supplies from the stockroom, the system sent a notification:

[Detected that "Zero-Dollar Shopping Mission 1" is complete. Reward has been distributed.]

’Another storage slot acquired.’

Nina remembered having only 15 storage slots in her past life. Now, including a few dedicated ones, she already had five.

After Zero-Dollar Shopping Mission 1 was completed, Mission 2 appeared on her interface.

[Apocalyptic Survival Mission Activated: Zero-Dollar Shopping Mission 2

Mission Details: In one day, the Sunrise Food Factory will explode. To prevent the waste of supplies,

clear out 80% of the factory’s goods.

Mission Reward: 1 System Storage Slot, +90 Experience Points.

Mission Difficulty: ★★★]

’A Three-Star mission.’

Sunrise Food Factory was a long-established local food plant. The difficulty of a Zero-Dollar Shopping mission was determined by the quantity of supplies, which meant there was a considerable amount inside.

It was still early. After leaving the convenience store, Nina pulled the same trick and completely cleared out an unmanned fruit store nearby.

Similarly, the cash register in the fruit store had also been emptied of cash.

A little further ahead was a pharmacy.

But quite a few people were trapped inside.

They were pounding on the glass door, hoping Nina would notice them.

Seeing that someone was filming her with a phone, Nina thought for a moment before walking over.

However, she didn’t get too close, stopping just outside the door.

She was wearing a raincoat and a face mask, so no one could see her face.

"Can you figure out a way to get us out of here?" someone shouted.

Nina shook her head, indicating she was powerless to help.

"Then can you bring us some food? I’ll pay you."

A middle-aged woman took out her wallet.

Nina ignored the wallet. Instead, with some effort, she pulled a package out from under her raincoat and tossed it inside.

Then, she turned and left.

"Is it food?"

People immediately crowded around.

They had missed three meals. It wasn’t three days, but they were still starving.

"Is this... a raincoat?"

To everyone’s disappointment, there was no food inside the package.

It was just a pack of foldable raincoats and shoe covers.

"What are we supposed to do with this? What’s the use?"

An old man angrily tossed it aside.

"Does that person want us to go outside?"

Juliana Sinclair did want to go home. She had been waiting for the rain to stop, but as the minutes and seconds ticked by, she saw no sign of it letting up.

"It’s too dangerous to go out! That’s acid falling from the sky!"

"Yeah, yeah, let’s just wait a little longer."

"Why give us this instead of food..."

By now, Nina was already far away.

She hadn’t given them food because she hoped they would use the raincoats to leave on their own.

The pharmacy and the Wellmart were on the same street. At the current rate of rainfall, the area would be flooded in less than two days.

There was no shortage of food outside, if only they were willing to go out and get it.

If they weren’t willing to take even this simplest first step, giving them food would be pointless.

People like that would be quickly eliminated by the cruel apocalypse.

’Only two? Still worth it.’
