After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Visitors with Ill Intent

"Huh? Did Mom forget to tell you?

I’m pregnant with twin girls, so my belly is a bit bigger than it would be with just one."

"..."

Nina Jacobs finally understood why the "Selfless Savior" trigger had involved four people the other day.

Vera Coleman was pregnant with twins!

"Don’t worry, we’ll have four professional nannies to take care of them once they’re born. We’ve already arranged for a family doctor and an early childhood educator. It won’t be tiring for me, and especially not for you. You can just focus on doing whatever you want to do..."

They hadn’t originally planned on having more children, but then they found out it was twins.

When they learned they were having two daughters, they both hesitated.

Who could possibly say no to two sweet, adorable little girls?

"No wonder it’s so big."

Nina Jacobs felt a swirl of complicated emotions.

’Will these two sisters, whom I’ve never met in either of my lives, really be able to be born safely into the apocalypse?’

「The sixth day of the acid rain.」

Nina Jacobs was jolted awake by a loud shout.

Leo Hale had discovered that strange things happened whenever he touched metal objects.

For example, spoons would bend, doorknobs would curl into circles, and even the showerhead had become misshapen.

"Son?!"

Daniel Hale rushed in with a pair of pliers from the toolbox, only relaxing when he saw that Leo Hale was unharmed.

"Dad, I think I... I’ve mutated."

Leo Hale stared at his hands, his face filled with panic.

"Congratulations. You’ve awakened a Superpower."

Nina Jacobs tossed her phone to Leo Hale. It was playing a video about a very small number of people developing rare Superpowers.

Although, based on the comments, nobody believed it.

At this point, the term Superpower wasn’t in common use yet.

But as soon as he heard the word "Superpower," Leo Hale’s despair turned to delight.

"I knew I wasn’t an ordinary person!"

Leo Hale exclaimed excitedly. He loved Marvel movies!

Just then, the sound of banging came from the front gate again.

The acid rain was still falling.

The disaster area across the country had expanded, and city streets had practically turned into a vast ocean.

The people outside seemed to be shouting something.

Nina Jacobs walked to the door and activated "Five Senses Enhancement," quickly making out the voices from outside.

"Damn it, these cowards are just hiding in their shells. What the hell are they doing in such a huge house?"

"This place has a backyard. If they really don’t open up, why don’t we just climb over from back there?"

"I’m in. Let someone else squeeze in with those refugees. If I have to deal with that crowd any longer, I’m gonna start killing people."

"We finally caught a pretty one. In normal times, who would dare do something like this?"

"That kid is too stubborn. He almost pushed me into the rain to drown. Just wait, I’ll teach him a lesson later."

’A pretty one?’ 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

’Could it be Ian Chandler?’

Nina Jacobs couldn’t hear Ian Chandler’s voice, but the men had a point. If someone had a bit of skill, it wouldn’t be hard to climb in through the backyard.

"Uncle Hale, I want to open the gate and meet them."

Nina Jacobs didn’t want to let this clue, which had delivered itself to her doorstep, get away.

"Why?"

Daniel Hale trusted that Nina Jacobs wouldn’t make a rash decision.

"Their intentions aren’t good, and they won’t give up easily.

It would be better to play dumb and catch them off guard, striking first before they have a chance."

Daniel Hale was shocked by Nina’s words.

’Are these really the words of a recent graduate?’

"How come I didn’t hear what they said?"

Leo Hale had also tried to listen, and he could tell there were a few men outside, but the sound of the rain was just too loud.

"Your hearing isn’t good enough. They want to climb in through the backyard."

Nina Jacobs said flatly.

"Looks like we’ve run into some tough customers."

Daniel Hale thought for a moment and ultimately decided to open the gate.

Before that, however, Vera Coleman made him take off all his gold jewelry.

In a disaster, too many villains rose to the surface. It was better to hide what you could.

「Outside the courtyard gate.」

George Crawford was still cursing when the gate suddenly opened.
