After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: An Open Secret

"I agree."

Nina Jacobs set down her coffee cup.

She had come prepared.

She didn’t know the specific details of tomorrow’s operation, but she was certain that Daniel Hale, the Spiritual Element Superpower User, would be participating.

Even if it was just for Daniel Hale’s safety, she had to go.

"Good!"

Justin Lawson found himself admiring the young woman before him more and more.

She was decisive, didn’t beat around the bush, and was highly capable.

Seeing Nina Jacobs agree so quickly, Myra Lawson also breathed a sigh of relief. She just wasn’t sure where to begin.

"Tomorrow’s operation is a bit... special."

"It could be a false alarm, but it could also be extremely dangerous."

She glanced at Adrian Shaw, who immediately understood and said,

"Miss Jacobs, I’ll explain the rest to you."

"I’m all ears."

Nina Jacobs was also curious to see how far Adrian Shaw had progressed with this matter.

"A friend of mine—well, not exactly a friend, to be precise—has been having a series of dreams recently..."

Adrian Shaw didn’t reveal the names of Hannah Grant or Liam Grant, and Nina Jacobs didn’t call him out on it.

"Are you saying your friend knows about tomorrow’s operation?"

After hearing Adrian Shaw’s explanation, Nina Jacobs was slightly shocked.

’Liam Grant has already agreed to work with Adrian Shaw?’

"That’s right. My friend also has the safety of the public at heart."

"He took the initiative to come see me last night."

"And as a friend, it’s only natural that I keep their secret."

Adrian Shaw winked at Nina Jacobs.

"I understand. This matter certainly can’t be publicized."

Nina Jacobs regretted not activating her Five Senses Enhancement last night.

She never would have thought Liam Grant and the others would actively seek out Adrian Shaw.

’I missed a good show.’

"So, that’s the situation."

"To be honest, I don’t believe it. Based on our normal weapon deployments, it’s impossible for so many people to die at once."

"Unless..."

Myra Lawson’s expression turned grim.

"Unless we encounter a powerful mutant zombie, like an Intermediate Mutant Zombie."

Nina Jacobs was the only Intermediate Superpower User in the base, which was why she had no choice but to ask for her help.

"We’ve already deployed various weapons and snipers along the route in advance."

"If a mutant zombie that powerful really does appear, we will all fight it together."

"I understand. I’ll do my best."

’An Intermediate Mutant Zombie?’

Hearing this, Nina Jacobs felt a faint flicker of excitement.

She had encountered an Intermediate Superpower User before, but she had yet to face an Intermediate Mutant Zombie.

"For now, don’t tell anyone else about this."

"Tomorrow, everyone will just think it’s a normal transfer operation."

"If it turns out to be a false alarm, we will severely punish the individuals involved,"

Myra Lawson said.

Nina Jacobs nodded, then asked, "And what if it’s real?"

"If it’s real, I will be the one to express gratitude on their behalf."

"After all, I have to keep my friend’s identity a secret."

There was a hint of a smile in Adrian Shaw’s voice.

"If it’s real, then this is a huge deal."

"This could be a major event concerning all of us survivors."

Justin Lawson also looked serious. "Shaw, I’m putting you in charge of this lead. You must dig up all the useful intelligence."

"If they have any requests, we can accommodate them as appropriate."

"Understood."

Adrian Shaw accepted.

Nina Jacobs chatted with them for a few more moments before leaving.

Myra Lawson still had to arrange the next day’s operation, while Adrian Shaw stood up, intending to walk Nina Jacobs out.

"You’re doing a pretty good job of keeping things confidential,"

Nina Jacobs said.

’Confidential? It’s more like an open secret.’

"But of course. They want something from us,"

"and we’re just making an equal exchange."

Adrian Shaw walked beside Nina Jacobs, taking her words as a compliment.

Night had fallen, and only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor of the new administration building.

"But don’t get the wrong idea. I’m just cooperating with them."

"I haven’t sold myself,"

Adrian Shaw added.
