After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Disguised Identity

Speaking of Riventon Base, Nina Jacobs recalled that the Aidan Keaton from her past life had indeed mentioned she was from there.

As the two of them grew closer, Aidan Keaton eventually told her that she had come to City D because she couldn’t stay at Riventon Base any longer.

She had wanted to avenge a friend, but was discovered and had to flee.

As for the details of the grudge, Aidan Keaton had seemed too grief-stricken to speak of it, so Nina Jacobs hadn’t pressed the issue.

"The leader of Riventon Base is Justin Stone. He even came to the Superpower User tournament."

"What an annoying, arrogant guy," Shirley Lucas said, as if remembering something.

"In that case, I have a proposal."

"What is it?" Shirley Lucas asked.

"We’ll use fake identities."

’Since we’re not in City D anymore, we’re no longer the City D rescue team,’ Nina Jacobs thought.

"I’m an expert at this! Summer, don’t you know me by now?"

Shirley Lucas said, switching completely to a female voice.

The others in the car were instantly petrified. Jessica Vance stared at him in astonishment. ’How is his voice more feminine than mine?’

"You don’t have to dress up as a woman," Nina Jacobs said helplessly.

Worried about losing time in Aethelgard, Nina Jacobs gave it her all on the journey.

She didn’t even need anyone else to get out of the car when they ran into small zombie hordes; she would handle them all herself.

Combined with the system map guiding them, the group arrived near Aethelgard before evening.

"Everyone, remember: we’re not from City D, and we’re definitely not from City D Base."

Adrian Shaw told everyone after they got out and assembled.

He agreed with Nina Jacobs’s idea; it was best to avoid causing trouble for their own base.

"So, where are we from then?"

A team member named Beaumont Wallace asked. They had to get their story straight, right?

"..."

Adrian Shaw actually hadn’t considered that.

’Based on the direction we came from...’

"City F. We’re from Falken Base."

Nina Jacobs answered, her expression unchanging.

"Right! We’re from Falken Base," Adrian Shaw said at once.

It wasn’t just because of Nina Jacobs; he also recalled some things his subordinates had reported recently.

During their few days in City D, the people from Falken Base had secretly made off with some of City D’s supplies.

It had infuriated him, but he hadn’t wanted to cause a scene and ruin the peaceful relationship, so he’d held his tongue.

"Understood. We’ll cooperate," Beaumont Wallace replied.

After the past two days, they weren’t impressed by anyone except Nina Jacobs.

Because no one else had managed to keep every single one of them alive like she had.

Aethelgard was a long, narrow city on the map. To get inside, you had to take an intercity highway.

But right now, that highway was blocked.

Following Trevor’s group’s directions, the three vehicles reached an intersection, only for several silver chains to suddenly shoot out and block their path.

If the drivers hadn’t reacted so quickly, the chains would have wrapped around their wheels.

A group of people appeared in front of the chains.

The group wore matching uniforms, and their eyes were all hostile.

"Who are you people?"

The man leading them was stocky. Behind them stood four large armored vehicles.

"They’re the ones who stopped us before," Trevor whispered to Nina Jacobs. He didn’t remember their faces, but he definitely remembered the vehicles.

"Why block the road? Can we not pass through here?" Adrian Shaw stepped forward, feigning confusion.

"You can’t take this road. It’s crawling with zombies up ahead. You’ll have to take the beltway," the man answered.

"If we run into zombies, we’ll just kill them. So why are you blocking the road?" Adrian Shaw asked.
