After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Gathering Rivers and Seas

"They..."

Chase Gallagher wanted to explain.

But in the end, he said nothing.

"We have a common area in the main hall where you can discuss Superpowers and things like that. If you’re bored, feel free to go check it out."

Molly Ulrich seemed to have other things to attend to and hurried away after saying this.

Pascal Paige looked at Nina Jacobs with worry.

"If it’s really an advancement, then it’s a good thing. Don’t worry too much," Wendy Marshall came over and comforted him.

"Let’s just let her rest quietly for now. It’ll be safe here for a while, and besides..."

Chase Gallagher looked at Wayne Warner, who hadn’t left Nina Jacobs’ side for a moment.

’With him here, it seems no one can get near Nina Jacobs.’

And as a fellow man, Chase could see that Wayne Warner’s gaze held not a trace of impurity.

It was the gaze of a protector.

’Maybe their presence here was unnecessary...’

Pascal Paige realized this as well.

In the few days they had spent with Nina Jacobs, they had all noticed how special Wayne Warner was.

Stoic, yet reassuring.

"Come on, let’s go find out what the situation is here," Pascal Paige said.

After the others left, Wayne Warner sat quietly to the side.

He watched Nina Jacobs, his eyes tinged with confusion.

Until a small brown rat emerged from one of Nina Jacobs’s pockets.

The little rat stood up, two tender leaves on its back.

Its pitch-black eyes were vacant, yet it seemed to be tilting its head up to sniff the air.

After sniffing around, it nimbly climbed over to Wayne Warner.

When Wayne Warner held out his hand, it hopped into his palm.

Its small, bark-like claws traced a single word on his large palm before it slipped out of the room under the door.

What Nina Jacobs had written in Wayne Warner’s hand was the word "wait."

In truth, she had only been unconscious for a moment. Though she remained in a deep slumber, she was aware of everything happening around her.

Including Chase Gallagher’s suggestion that they come here.

Nina Jacobs could only blame herself for being careless.

She hadn’t realized that her constant drowsiness these past few days was a precursor to her advancement.

Her system’s Superpower Value was still 5 points short of the advancement threshold.

In her past life, accumulating 5 points of Superpower Value would have taken at least half a year.

Furthermore, Intermediate Superpower Users only started appearing in the second year of the apocalypse in her past life.

So she never expected to suddenly advance at this time.

For a Basic Level Superpower User to advance to Intermediate, it could take anywhere from one hour to two days.

In her past life, research had shown that the longer the advancement took, the more powerful the Superpower.

In her past life, it took her a day and a half to advance successfully.

So she knew she wouldn’t be waking up so soon.

Right now, in her world of consciousness, countless water droplets floated above a small puddle.

The droplets slowly gathered together before falling into the puddle.

Though the process was slow, the puddle was already beginning to grow larger.

She understood the importance of those droplets.

’The droplets represent Superpower.’

Without small streams, there can be no mighty rivers.

She had to wait here patiently until the final moment of her successful Superpower advancement.

However, she had already released the Little Zombie Rat.

She had brought out this Little Zombie Rat just a second before falling asleep, and now it could scout for information on her behalf.

As long as the rat wasn’t discovered, she could keep up with what was happening in the outside world.

Although the Lockwood Squad was underground, they had a small supply of electricity.

It all came from the solar power system the nightclub had before.

As long as there was light on the surface, it could be converted into electrical energy.

The colorful lights were a bit dim, but they were sufficient.
