After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Nina Jacobs, a Demon in This Moment

"There’s no one..."

Someone immediately jumped out of the car, but there wasn’t a soul in sight.

"Who on earth saved us?"

"Isn’t this a gas station? We’re saved!"

"So the rain hasn’t stopped. This place just happens to provide shelter..."

"Everyone, hurry! There’s water to drink in here!"

Watching the crowd rush into the gas station’s convenience store, Morgan Abbott couldn’t help but shed a tear.

He gazed in a certain direction through the rain-drenched night, then bowed deeply...

[Detected that Host’s action will save 84 humans in 1 day. "Selfless Savior" title triggered. Reward: 84 bottles of "Healing Potion".]

The System’s cheerful voice rang out again.

Nina Jacobs was already on her way back, humming a tune as she took a sip of her fruit tea.

A cool, fresh sweetness spread through her.

"A good deed a day,

System, what do you think of my performance?"

She hadn’t taken the food and water from the gas station’s convenience store, and there was also a phone they could use to contact the outside world.

If they were lucky enough, they should be able to hold out for rescue.

As for the three tankers behind the gas station, she had faked a pipeline leak after siphoning the gasoline.

Besides, the ground was covered in acid rain, making it impossible to investigate.

’I’m such a great philanthropist.’

[Host, kindness brings good fortune, but Host’s motives are impure.]

The System’s response made Nina Jacobs blush.

She had already left, but the thought of collecting the "Healing Potions" made her itch with anticipation, and she’d ultimately turned back.

However, this incident also made her realize that the System’s voice was particularly cheerful when it announced the "Selfless Savior" reward.

’Is this some kind of setting I don’t know about?’

When Nina Jacobs returned to the Hales’ house, she found Daniel Hale and Vera Coleman apparently waiting for her.

Even Leo Hale was there.

"You’re finally back. Are you hurt?"

Daniel Hale asked.

"No. I’m going to take a shower first."

Nina Jacobs placed the several large bags she was carrying on the floor and walked straight up the stairs.

"What’s with that attitude? And here we were, so worried about her,"

Leo Hale said angrily.

"What nonsense are you talking about?

Come and see what this is."

Daniel Hale pointed at the large pile of food and water on the floor. It turned out Nina Jacobs had gone out to gather supplies.

"Oh, that girl..."

Vera Coleman also wiped away a tear.

They had indeed been worried about their food and water situation today.

Especially food. With this acid rain, all the major delivery platforms had stopped operating, let alone making house calls.

Upstairs, Nina Jacobs felt refreshed and invigorated after her shower.

Bringing those things back was just to avoid arousing suspicion. She hadn’t expected it to move Daniel Hale so much.

Nina Jacobs had already activated her "Five Senses Enhancement," and upon hearing the commotion from Liam Grant and the others, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud in her room.

It turned out Liam Grant had soaked himself in ice water for half a day to awaken a Superpower, and now he was running a high fever as expected.

In her past life, some people had indeed awakened Superpowers after a high fever.

But Liam Grant wouldn’t.

Nina Jacobs was absolutely certain that Liam Grant would not awaken any Superpowers during the acid rain period.

---------

After dinner, Leo Hale ran up from the basement, shouting, "That Ben Stone is a madman."

"What’s wrong?" Nina Jacobs asked, looking up.

"He doesn’t seem right in the head. He might have a fever."

Leo Hale had gone down to bring the two of them food, but Ben Stone refused to eat anything. Even Nanny Sullivan couldn’t persuade him.

"I’ll go take a look."

Nina Jacobs’s interest was piqued.

’Could it be that Ben Stone is already starting to mutate?’
