After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Justin Lawson’s Investigation

"Is there a problem?"

Curious about the look on Nina Jacobs’s face, Sherry Renner walked over.

"Most of the deceased were Gold or Thunder Element Superpower Users. I just find it a little strange."

Nina Jacobs was indeed puzzled.

In her previous life, she and her group had also arrived at the City D Base around this time.

But in the month that followed, she’d never heard anything about this string of vicious crimes.

If it had been common knowledge, there was no way she wouldn’t have heard about it in her past life.

In other words, this serial murder case hadn’t happened in her previous life.

"That’s right. Seven Gold Element Superpower Users,

three Thunder Element Superpower Users,

and one each from the Fire and Wind Elements."

"They were all mainstream Superpower Users. For them to die just like that... it’s a real shame," Sherry Renner said.

"Where did it happen tonight?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

"In the southwest sector of the base. It happened in a newly constructed, unfinished dormitory building.

It’s awaiting renovation, so it’s been empty for the past couple of days."

Personnel had finished moving into the new base, and the dormitory occupancy rate was already as high as ninety percent. More dormitories were still being hastily constructed.

"So why would she go to a place like that?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Nina Jacobs muttered to herself.

"That’s what we’re wondering, too. And her family is clueless."

There were still many survivors in the base without a place to live.

But there were designated shelters, so logically, no one should be going into an unfinished building like that.

Besides, the deceased and her family had already rented a dorm room.

"Get some rest. Looks like you’re going to be busy again tomorrow."

Nina Jacobs couldn’t figure it out either, so she said.

"You’re the only one who really worries about me.

Oh, right. That Adrian Shaw fellow asked me to give this to you."

Sherry Renner then pulled a letter from her pocket.

The letter was just folded a few times, unsealed.

It was as if he were deliberately trying to show he had nothing to hide.

Not that Sherry Renner had a habit of prying into other people’s secrets.

"It’s a map of the base."

When Nina Jacobs unfolded it, she found a small slip of paper tucked inside.

There was only a single line of text on the note.

"An up-to-date map, no less. He’s a pretty decent guy."

Sherry Renner examined the map closely.

Meanwhile, the small note in Nina Jacobs’s hand turned to a wisp of ash.

Adrian Shaw was informing her that Liam Grant apparently intended to use the base’s resources to search for a special substance in City J.

The corners of Nina Jacobs’s lips curled up.

’So they couldn’t wait any longer, just as I thought.’

...

「Late that night, inside the base’s administration building.」

Liam Grant and Renee Strong were sitting in a conference room.

Excitement was written all over their faces.

"Mystic Ice Core?"

Justin Lawson looked at the pair, acting as if he’d never heard of such a thing before.

"That’s right, the Mystic Ice Core.

Superpower Users can absorb it. Not only can it enhance their Superpowers, but it might have other effects as well."

Liam Grant noticed that Justin Lawson wasn’t as shocked as he had expected.

"What does it look like?"

Justin Lawson asked.

The moment Liam Grant mentioned it, Justin immediately thought of the special Crystal Cores Nina Jacobs had brought back from City J.

Clearly, Liam Grant was talking about the very same thing.

What they didn’t know was that, including the three absorbed by Ian Chandler and his two companions, Nina Jacobs had already contributed a total of eighteen of them...

Moreover, intelligence about these special Crystal Cores had already been reported to the General Command in City A, under the name of the City D Base.

Of course, all of this was done in secret.

"It’s black, with a stone-like texture, slightly larger than a Mutated Crystal Core."

Liam Grant wasn’t in a rush.

After all, the existence of something like a Mystic Ice Core was difficult for most people to fathom.
