After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Reason to Suspect

Adrian Shaw’s expression was one of shock.

"So you’re saying they knew everything that was going to happen to the world from the very beginning?"

He had originally thought it all started when Hannah Grant approached him.

He never imagined it went back to before the apocalypse even began.

No, to be precise, it was from before the acid rain started!

"We have reason to suspect as much, and evidence to back it up."

The whole concept of precognitive dreams sounds fantastical, to say the least.

Furthermore, the interests of the nation and its people were at stake.

He couldn’t just take their word for it based on one or two upcoming events without investigating thoroughly.

Since this was a matter to be reported up the chain, all information on this Liam Grant had to be thoroughly vetted.

Some personal banking and credit data from before the apocalypse was indeed difficult to retrieve.

But the memory storage from surveillance cameras in the ruins and the network of people around him weren’t so hard to look into.

Following the trail of clues, they also took notice of Renee Strong, who was extremely close to Liam Grant.

And, of course, the other members of their team.

However, one of them, a man named Ivan Lawson, was currently missing.

The one named Wyatt Jacobs seemed to have met Liam Grant’s group later on, but it was heard that he had also tried to borrow a million from Nina Jacobs’s mother.

Simon Abbott, on the other hand, had a clean record. He was suddenly contacted by Liam Grant just before the acid rain, and the two had no prior connection.

"When someone’s words don’t match their actions, they’re either a fool or a fraud."

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes couldn’t hide the coldness in his gaze.

Justin Lawson could understand the caution of an ordinary person; it was indeed difficult for a single individual to change the course of the world.

But using such a thing as bait to manipulate others, even the entire base, made it impossible for him to trust those two at all.

Compared to all the uncertainties, he wouldn’t gamble with the safety of the base.

"Exactly. At the end of the day, they just overestimated themselves and wanted to use the base."

Only then did Adrian Shaw truly realize.

’So Liam Grant was just using me as a pawn.’

"But why did he dump Nina Jacobs before all this and choose Renee Strong instead?" Adrian Shaw mused.

"As for the exact reason, we don’t know either, but there’s only one fundamental cause."

At the mention of Nina Jacobs, Justin Lawson’s expression finally softened.

There was even a hint of pride.

"What cause?" Adrian Shaw asked.

"They’re not the same kind of people."

Ultimately, Nina Jacobs and Liam Grant were polar opposites.

Adrian Shaw felt a sense of relief upon hearing that.

’It’s true, the two of them were never right for each other from the start...’

...

「Early the next morning.」

The small courtyard was already bustling with activity.

Chase Gallagher and the others waited here for Nina Jacobs and Leo Hale every morning.

They also used the time to check on Treasure.

"You’re taking such good care of him. Treasure’s coat has gotten so smooth."

Holden Shaw said, unable to stop stroking the dog.

When Treasure first arrived, he was in a wretched state, covered in wounds big and small.

But now, all his wounds had healed.

His energy levels and coat both looked incredibly healthy.

Nina Jacobs, worried he might get too hot, had even found a solar-powered fan somewhere.

It was blowing constantly into his cool, well-ventilated doghouse.

"She really is a kindhearted person."

Sheila Rhodes remarked from the side.

Although she didn’t go out to kill zombies, she would still come with the others to see Treasure every day.

When Nina Jacobs came out, she saw Sheila Rhodes smiling as she brushed Treasure’s fur.

Sheila had a naturally gentle appearance, and the scene exuded a sense of serene tranquility.

"I heard the base has made the arrangements. When the time comes, I’ll have Chase and Holden escort you back to City A," Nina Jacobs said to Sheila Rhodes.

Samson Thorne planned to set out in five days.

The two cities were some distance apart.

In her past life, Samson Thorne had planned to make a stop in City F along the way, so he had chosen to travel by vehicle.
