After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Just Build Another One

Silas Crowley believed no one was more suited to break these shackles than Nina Jacobs.

The battle lasted until nightfall.

Thaddeus Wren also spoke with Nina Jacobs alone.

Now, he felt nothing but gratitude and admiration for Nina Jacobs.

So, upon learning that Nina Jacobs wanted to inquire about the group at Griston, he laid everything out for her—all that he had investigated, and all that he suspected.

"This group arrived in Keldorn a little over a month ago.

They aren’t from Keldorn; they must be from out of town..."

Thaddeus Wren began to explain slowly.

"Are you saying they’re gathering Water Element Superpower Users and putting them in a separate location?"

Nina Jacobs was also confused.

’These must be the people Icarus Golding mentioned back in City D—the ones who set out first.’

’Logically, The Aegis Conclave’s goal is to control all of Lornwood Base, so they should be focused on slowly infiltrating the base.’

’But instead, they’re gathering Water Element Superpower Users.’

"My guess is they want to move against the base,"

Thaddeus Wren said.

"Oh? What makes you say that?"

Nina Jacobs was intrigued.

Thaddeus Wren sighed and admitted, "My love is a Water Element Superpower User. She has had contact with them before.

You’re not from Keldorn. Have you ever heard of the Battle of Crestfall?"

Thaddeus Wren asked.

"I’ve heard of it."

Nina Jacobs nodded. Cordelia and the others had told her about it.

"My love is from Crestfall. Back then, there were over eight hundred survivors in the city,

a mix of locals and some tourists. But later, they were all used as bait and fed to the zombies.

I happened to be part of that battle... When a few of us discovered there were still many living people inside the valley, we went straight in to rescue them."

That was how Thaddeus Wren rescued Mirelle Keller. But her brother and both her parents died in Crestfall.

"Mirelle loathes the ones who orchestrated that battle, so she’s bent on revenge.

That group’s goal might be the same; otherwise, Mirelle wouldn’t be so set on joining them."

Thaddeus Wren explained helplessly.

"Do you know how many of them there are?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

Originally, she had planned to impersonate Magnus York, but she was worried about being recognized. After all, Magnus York was already an insider, and many people within the conclave must have seen her.

If she knew what she was up against, she wouldn’t have to take such a roundabout approach.

"There aren’t many of them, but every one is a Superpower User, and they’re not weak.

Maybe... sixty or seventy of them. As for the other location... I’m not too clear on that."

Thaddeus Wren replied.

"But why do you ask, Miss Jacobs?"

he asked again, a bit puzzled.

"I’m planning to pay them a visit."

Nina Jacobs’s answer shocked him.

After thinking for a moment, he led Nina Jacobs to a room.

The room was very neat but completely sealed. The only way to see outside was through a tempered glass window set at ground level, which was enclosed in a metal frame.

"It’s you?"

The woman in the room shot to her feet the moment she saw Nina Jacobs enter.

"You recognize me?"

Nina Jacobs looked at the beautiful woman before her.

The woman’s features were striking, and she exuded a potent femininity with every gesture, yet one of her ankles was shackled to a nearby iron post.

"I just saw you from here."

Mirelle Keller said, pointing to the tempered glass window.

"I wouldn’t have guessed Captain Wren had such tastes."

Nina Jacobs wasn’t joking.

Imprisonment is a denial of human rights, and a form of humiliation.

No matter the reason.

"I..."

Thaddeus Wren waved his hand, using his Superpower to release the shackle from Mirelle Keller’s ankle.

"I was wrong," Thaddeus Wren said. "I just didn’t want to see Mirelle go get herself killed."

"You’re not going there to die, are you?"

Nina Jacobs set down a few diagrams she was holding.

The room contained numerous maps and hand-drawn diagrams. The locations marked on the maps were all within Lornwood Base.

The diagrams seemed to depict the surroundings of Lornwood Base, as well as Crestfall.

It seemed a revenge plot was brewing.

’A person like this wouldn’t just go and get herself killed.’
