After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: All to Her Benefit

For a moment, the family didn’t know how to react.

"Nina, we still have enough supplies at home to last a few more days. If things get really bad, we can just eat a little less. You don’t have to go out and risk your life right now."

Vera Coleman and Daniel Hale were both extremely worried, but no matter how much they tried to persuade her, it was no use.

"Fine, you can go."

Daniel Hale finally relented.

It wasn’t that he had been convinced, but rather that he was recalling what Nina Jacobs had said.

’If a greater disaster truly is coming after this one, how are ordinary people like us supposed to survive? It’s better to let the kids get some training in now.’

"Thanks for earlier."

Leo Hale sat in Nina Jacobs’s car, his heart filled with gratitude.

This was the first time he had been outside in days, and the scene was far more desolate and bleak than he had imagined.

The once-luxurious community had become a wasteland in just a few short days.

The brand-new, European-style architecture now looked like gloomy old buildings from a bygone century.

He kept feeling like many pairs of eyes were watching them from within the villa community.

The feeling of being stared at didn’t disappear until they drove out of the Prosperity Gardens Community.

Leo Hale guessed they must have been the people who had come here seeking refuge.

"Don’t mention it. I was planning on going out anyway."

"But if your destination isn’t on my way, you’ll have to walk the rest of the way yourself."

Nina Jacobs admitted frankly.

"I knew you weren’t that nice."

"Stop, stop, stop! There’s a person there—AHHH!!"

Leo Hale saw what looked like a figure lying on the rain-soaked ground, but Nina Jacobs just drove right over it.

The car jolted noticeably.

He looked at Nina Jacobs in horror.

"Did you just run over that person? That was a person!"

"It’s just a dead body. It was there last time I came through."

Nina Jacobs couldn’t help it. The route she’d chosen was a narrow side road, and every time she passed this way, she ran over the same corpse.

"But..."

When Nina Jacobs said no more, Leo Hale thought he had made her angry.

"By the way, I opened that lock you gave me."

Leo Hale took out the metal lock. It was a little warped, but he could now open it with ease.

"Good. Come with me to a place first."

"If you can do what I need, I might give you a ride the rest of the way."

As soon as Nina Jacobs finished speaking, Leo Hale’s eyes lit up, and he agreed without a moment’s hesitation.

Nina Jacobs soon brought him to an abandoned garage.

"What’s in here?"

Leo Hale asked curiously, wondering why Nina Jacobs was being so secretive.

"I stored some things in here a while ago, but I lost the keys. See if you can open it."

Nina Jacobs didn’t have high hopes. After all, Leo Hale had only just awakened his Superpower, and the metal locks on this garage were much larger than the small one she had given him.

To her surprise, however, Leo Hale opened all the locks in under five minutes.

Only an electronic keypad lock remained. Nina Jacobs summoned her Fire Element Superpower, smashed it with a Fireball, and the lock instantly short-circuited.

"Holy crap! Your Special Ability is so damn cool!"

Leo Hale had heard from Daniel Hale that Nina Jacobs also had a Special Ability, but he never expected it to look so much more powerful than his own.

While he was still trying to process what he’d just seen, Nina Jacobs had already gone into the garage, telling him to wait outside.

A few moments later, Leo Hale noticed smoke starting to pour out of the garage.

Just as he was about to go inside, Nina Jacobs came out.

"It’s on fire?"

Leo Hale asked, astonished.

’Don’t tell me Nina started this fire.’
