After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: A Mistake

"A person’s environment will reveal their true nature.

Even awakening a Superpower wouldn’t change his cold-blooded nature."

Nina Jacobs couldn’t agree more with what Sherry Renner said.

Because Wyatt Jacobs was, indeed, cold-blooded.

"But that guy, Liam Grant, is really unlucky..."

Sherry Renner said.

"Yeah, he’s incredibly unlucky."

Nina Jacobs said faintly.

’If he had died early on, how would he ever know the taste of betrayal? Wyatt Jacobs did it to him. And what would he think if he knew that Simon Abbott had been using him as a human shield all along?’

...

News of Myra Lawson awakening a Superpower spread quickly throughout the entire base.

As did the news about the "Mystic Ice Core."

"I can’t believe you can upgrade your Superpower after you get one. The Water Element Superpower Users are in for a treat."

"I heard it’s something they found in City J, but there are only a few. How could we possibly get our hands on one?"

"That’s not a given. I heard they’re holding a talent selection. Everyone in the base can participate, and the top few will get a chance."

"Forget it. Who could possibly compete with those guys from the rescue team?"

"If City J hadn’t turned into a zombie nest, we could have teamed up to go look for that treasure ourselves."

"Not me. I’d like to live a few more days..."

"..."

Discussions about the matter could be heard all over the base.

Many Superpower Users also began sparring with each other, hoping to fight for a chance to obtain a Mystic Ice Core.

"Really? For us?"

Holden Shaw stared at the black stone in front of him.

He knew this was the legendary "Mystic Ice Core" everyone was talking about.

And Nina Jacobs was actually planning to let him and Chase Gallagher each absorb one of these rare Mystic Ice Cores.

"You’re going to City A on my behalf this time.

The journey is fraught with danger, and I hope you have enough power to protect yourselves."

Nina Jacobs said.

She had chosen the two of them to escort Sheila Rhodes to City A because they were both Speed Element Superpower Users. If they encountered any danger, they could use their Superpowers to escape immediately.

"Remember, no matter what happens, the most important thing is to stay alive. I’ll be waiting for you back at the base."

Nina Jacobs told the two of them before they left.

Although she had also considered going to City A, Vera Coleman had just given birth to her two baby girls.

Besides, she still had a few unresolved matters at the base.

"Don’t worry! You know what we’re capable of, right?"

Holden Shaw could hear the concern in Nina Jacobs’s voice, and a wave of emotion washed over him.

No one had cared about him this much since the apocalypse began.

"I know the situation in City A.

After we drop her off, we’ll head back immediately."

Chase Gallagher added.

Seeing the two of them begin to focus on absorbing the Mystic Ice Cores, Nina Jacobs felt relieved.

"Nina Jacobs, thank you for everything during this time. Here’s your book back."

Sheila Rhodes handed the book of poetry to Nina Jacobs, then reluctantly stroked Treasure, who was standing beside her.

"Stay safe on the road. I hope you’ll be reunited soon."

Nina Jacobs accepted the book.

"Yes, you need to be careful too from now on."

Tears seemed to well up in Sheila Rhodes’s eyes, but she still managed a smile as she spoke.

The place where Samson Thorne was to board his plane was not inside the base.

Nina Jacobs walked the group to the base gate, then gave Chase and Holden a few more reminders.

The rescue team would escort them for the rest of the way.

With them finally on their way,

Nina Jacobs went to the base hospital. She had planned to see the twins but ran into Pascal Paige instead.

"Looks like you’ve gotten quite used to working at the hospital."

Nina Jacobs noticed that Pascal Paige was getting along very well with the other Healers.

"It’s not bad. I should at least practice here until I can advance to an Intermediate Superpower User, right?"

Having witnessed how powerful Nina Jacobs became after her advancement, Pascal Paige was also eager to advance.

"Oh, by the way, speaking of Sheila Rhodes, guess who else I treated today?"

"Who?"

"That girl who bullied Sheila—Zoe Morgan!"

Pascal Paige loved to gossip with others.

"You know what? She’s in a miserable state now. She used to be the one bullying others, but now others are bullying her.

I heard that because she can’t find her official daddy, those two little lackeys who used to follow her around won’t even give her the time of day."

"But it seems she still holds a grudge against Sheila Rhodes. She said that if they hadn’t saved her from the pedestrian street, she wouldn’t have survived for long."

"What did you say?"
