After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Better to Rely on Oneself

Captain Wren?

Nina Jacobs felt she had to meet him.

"I can’t believe there are still people alive in the valley..."

This was something Cordelia had never expected.

They had all thought the valley had completely fallen, with no survivors left inside.

"Behind every success they flaunt, there’s always a price paid in blood,

it’s just that they aren’t the ones paying it."

Annie Stone spoke as if she had seen through it all.

The two of them seemed to have a lot more to say. Nina didn’t want to intrude any longer, so after a quick word with Cordelia, she went upstairs first.

"Cordelia, you could totally stay here. Captain Wren’s wife is a Water Element Superpower User, so no one ever has to worry about water,

and Captain Wren is fair, rewarding good deeds and punishing bad ones. He never does anything shady."

Changing the subject, Annie Stone began to earnestly persuade her.

After everything she had been through recently, she had come to a realization. The base might be safe, but it was a dog-eat-dog world.

The base’s relief association, which they had once admired, turned out to be nothing but a bunch of hypocrites when they encountered them on the road.

Most people were only out for themselves, or for some baseless fame and fortune.

Instead of helping others, it was better to help herself. She might as well just rely on her own efforts here.

Cordelia smiled after hearing this. "It certainly sounds better than the base, but I’ve already promised Nina that we’ll go to her place first."

Annie Stone was a little surprised.

But she quickly accepted it. "Looks like you’re just like me. Since things are the way they are, we might as well do what we want to do first."

"By the way, where’s Aeliana? I haven’t seen her."

Cordelia asked.

"She went out on a supply run. One of her old colleagues who once saved her life is here, and the two of them are getting along great now."

Annie Stone replied with a smile.

When Nina Jacobs returned to her room, she found the cat still eating the food and cat food she had left out.

MEOW—

Seeing Nina Jacobs return, Lexy immediately stopped chowing down and went to greet her.

"Let’s rest here for today. I’m planning to go out again later."

Nina Jacobs was still planning her trip to Griston.

But she wouldn’t dare go recklessly without first figuring out the strength of the people there.

After Lexy had eaten its fill, Nina Jacobs took another white water tank out of her storage space.

She had found these water tanks in Veridia Town. There were eight in total, and she had given one to Cordelia.

Each tank had a capacity of 900 liters. Including the one with Cordelia, Lexy had already filled nearly three large tanks in just two or three days.

And that didn’t even account for the water used by the seven of them over the past few days.

"Lexy, you’re amazing."

Nina Jacobs praised.

She had noticed a pattern: Lexy didn’t mind using its Superpower. In fact, if she didn’t provide a container for it, the cat would go find its own containers to fill with water.

Now, seeing the water tank that was half-full, Lexy leaped onto it with enthusiasm.

This time, Lexy filled the water tank completely.

During this time, Nina Jacobs activated her "Five Senses Enhancement." Amidst the multitude of sounds, she found Thaddeus Wren’s voice.

But as Nina listened, a trace of confusion appeared on her face.

’Is Thaddeus Wren holding someone captive?’

"...I told you, if you don’t let me go, I won’t create another drop of water."

It was a woman’s voice.

After a long moment, Thaddeus Wren sighed and said:

"I can let you go. I can even go with you. But if you’re going *there*, then it’s out of the question."

"Why? They won’t kill me.

I just want to use them to get revenge for my family. Why can’t you just let me do it?"

The woman started crying as she spoke.

Thaddeus Wren seemed to be comforting her softly:

"They won’t kill you, but they do want to use you.
