After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Intentions

The water tank was new, with a faucet attached at the bottom.

"This is..."

The five people in the room all found themselves staring at the water tank. To their surprise, it was already a quarter full.

"Could this be Lexy’s doing?"

Cordelia asked.

Nina Jacobs nodded. With so many of them, they would probably have to rely on Lexy for their water needs in the coming days.

So whenever Lexy could produce water, she saved it up in this large tank first.

Of course, they couldn’t tire Lexy out.

"I heard Keldorn is short on water right now. The fact that Lexy can create water..."

"Don’t worry, we know our limits. Miss Jacobs, you saved us, and Lexy did too. We wouldn’t tell a soul, not even if you beat us to death!"

Tobin and the others knew that if it weren’t for Nina Jacobs, the three of them wouldn’t have survived more than a few days.

But none of the five of them slept a wink that night.

"So many people must be waiting for us to bring back water..."

Rhonda Rowan sighed, gazing up at the pitch-black sky.

For some reason, Veridia Town was completely dark tonight.

"Yeah, but we didn’t find anything."

Cordelia added, her voice full of disappointment.

’If only we could find a cat that makes water too...’

Cordelia immediately dismissed the thought as soon as it appeared.

’I can’t believe I just had such a greedy thought.’

"Yeah, if we brought Lexy back to the base, I’m sure no one would easily discover its Water Element Superpower..."

Rhonda Rowan muttered.

"What are you talking about? Didn’t you hear Miss Jacobs? She must have her reasons for not wanting to take Lexy to the base. We can’t bring harm to them."

Tobin’s voice rang out in the darkness.

This came as a bit of a surprise to Nina Jacobs.

She had specifically activated her Five Senses Enhancement out of fear of a zombie attack, but she hadn’t expected to overhear this conversation.

’It seems that Rhonda Rowan has her eyes on Lexy.’

Nina Jacobs pulled up the system and, just as she’d expected, saw that Rhonda Rowan’s Friendship level had dropped.

Last night it was 30; now it was only 26.

"Rhonda Rowan, I know you’re a bleeding heart, but you need to learn some boundaries."

Silas Crowley’s voice came through, laced with a cold edge.

"I know. I just... I don’t know how I’m going to face everyone."

Returning meant facing a new round of despair. Rhonda Rowan fell silent.

"Face them however you have to. I, Silas Crowley, just can’t stand that guy Liang. As for everyone else, I’ll help where I can. As long as I can do it with a clear conscience, that’s enough."

Silas Crowley replied.

He just wanted to help people, not be a saint.

"Exactly. Miss Jacobs is a good person. Worst comes to worst, we can trade supplies or Crystal Cores with her for water. I think she’d agree to that,"

Tobin added.

"Right, right! I’ve still got a bunch of Crystal Cores saved up in my space. I just don’t know if Miss Jacobs and him need Crystal Cores..."

Cordelia’s thoughts drifted to the next day, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Nina Jacobs didn’t listen any longer.

In the apocalypse, people’s hearts were the most fickle. She’d have to keep a closer eye on Rhonda Rowan.

The group set out early the next morning.

Lexy lay by the window, still nervously watching the view outside.

"I need to make a stop in Aurelion first."

Nina Jacobs said to Reginald Sutton, who was driving.

"No problem. Aurelion is on the way, but the base has already cleared out all the supplies there."

Reginald Sutton assumed Nina Jacobs was going there to look for supplies along the way.

They had passed through Aurelion on their way here and had even spent a night there.

"Mm, I’m just going to meet someone."

Nina Jacobs also asked the group a few questions about Aurelion.

Like Aethelgard, Aurelion was a major transportation hub in Keldorn.

Before the apocalypse, it was a distribution center for goods in the surrounding area.

Because of this, Aurelion became a key location for supply runs right from the start of the disaster.

Reginald Sutton figured there probably wasn’t even a scrap left there.
