After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Joining the Team

"That’s enough of them."

Nina Jacobs had actually wanted to deal with them herself, but it seemed handing them over to the base would make their punishment a more effective deterrent.

Once it was on their records, they would be subjected to strict inspections every time they entered or left the base.

"Speaking of which, it’s a bit of a shame that house is empty,"

"the feng shui of these three houses is quite good."

Sherry Renner had checked the feng shui of all three houses. She had to admit, the base was really good at picking locations.

"Don’t worry. Someone will move in within three days."

「The next day.」

With no missions on their plate, Nina Jacobs decided to let everyone rest for the day.

Just after dawn, Chase Gallagher brought the people Nina Jacobs wanted to see.

"Miss Jacobs, did you ask for us for a reason?"

It wasn’t just Wayne Abbott; the remaining nineteen members of his team had come as well.

"I hear you’re planning to disband your team?"

Nina Jacobs had Walsh prepare tea for everyone.

Wayne Abbott and the others couldn’t help but be surprised. ’How did she know?’

They had only made that decision last night.

Wayne Abbott decided not to hide it anymore and recounted the events of the past several weeks.

"Disbanding the team is for everyone’s own good."

After Wayne Abbott finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want things to be like they were before.

They had all been through countless hardships and dangers together; they were the most trusted of partners.

It had been bitter and exhausting, but there was always something to look forward to.

But now, it seemed they had hit a dead end, completely devoid of goals or hope.

"As it happens, I’m short on people. Are you interested in joining me?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

’Short on people?’

Wayne Abbott was taken aback.

He had only met Nina Jacobs briefly yesterday.

"Is it because of what happened with Mr. Hale? Actually, Mr. Hale has already helped us more than enough. You really don’t have to..."

"I have my conditions for recruitment, of course.

Superpowers and special skills are both essential.

If you don’t meet my standards, then my apologies."

After Nina Jacobs spoke, the expressions of everyone in the room changed slightly.

"Are you serious?"

’But what would she do with so many people?’

Just then, a fully recovered Holden Shaw walked out, holding two short wooden batons.

"Anyone who can last three rounds against my friend here will be considered qualified.

Those who last two rounds can be put on probation."

"Also, you’ll need to declare your Superpowers beforehand,"

Nina Jacobs said.

It wasn’t entirely because of Daniel Hale that she wanted to recruit these people.

Every one of them was a Superpower User with extensive combat experience.

’They should all be able to last at least two rounds against Holden Shaw.’

"Since Miss Jacobs wants a demonstration,

then let’s give her one!"

Warren Ramsey’s voice was booming. Hearing it, Treasure, who was in the courtyard, perked up his ears.

For the past few months, they had been fighting zombies outside almost every day. There was no way the skills they’d honed would only be good enough for three rounds against this young brat.

"I look forward to your instruction."

After introducing his Superpower, Holden Shaw had already assumed a combat stance.

"Have you guys noticed that Holden has changed a lot recently?"

Wendy Marshall, who had been watching from the side, couldn’t help but comment.

Especially after the incident with Sheila Rhodes, Holden Shaw had become quieter, but also more driven to improve himself.

Every morning, he could be seen practicing his moves in the courtyard at the crack of dawn.

"Mmm, he’s faced a powerful enemy and killed someone. Of course he’s different now.

He’s all fired up. That’s not a bad thing,"

Chase Gallagher said.

Pressure creates motivation. On top of that, Nina Jacobs provided sufficient resources and understanding. Who wouldn’t want to become stronger?

The sparring matches went just as Nina Jacobs had expected.

Out of the twenty people, four lasted three rounds against Holden Shaw.

The rest basically lasted two rounds.

"How could this be..."

The Gold Element Superpower User, Alaric Fletcher, stood there in disbelief.

He had been defeated after only one round.

He had always thought he was quite strong.

Even the four female members of the team had lasted two rounds.

"Don’t lose heart. I’ll be waiting for you to challenge me again."
