Nina Jacobs helped Felix Finch up.
After an entire night, Freya Finch’s condition had visibly improved.
He had woken up for just over ten minutes, eaten a little millet porridge, and then fallen asleep again.
Felix Finch had also heard from the Ainsworth father and daughter about what had happened these past few days.
This included the part where Freya Finch nearly died, and how some people were even waiting to cook him.
If Nina Jacobs hadn’t arrived in time, he feared he would never have been able to forgive himself.
"Get your strength back as soon as you can,"
Nina Jacobs said.
She was still waiting for Felix Finch to kill Achilles Renner for her.
"Don’t worry. Even without this deal, I would’ve killed him."
Half of Felix Finch’s face still looked savage, but his eyes were far more resolute than before.
Nina Jacobs nodded. With Tristan Lynch and his group out gathering supplies, Felix Finch and the others would have more time to recover.
The Ainsworth father and daughter had also recovered their energy.
Juliette Ainsworth didn’t remain idle for a moment, instead starting to salvage usable electrical components and wires in the abandoned factory.
Kelly Ainsworth, being a Gold Element Superpower User, was also able to help with the disassembly.
That evening, after Tristan Lynch’s group returned covered in dust, Damian took out numerous brand-new water storage tanks, buckets, and other containers from his spatial storage.
They were enough to fill half the factory courtyard.
"I knew I could count on you all,"
Nina Jacobs said with satisfaction.
’Looks like that guy Damian’s spatial storage is pretty big.’
Though Damian wasn’t one for talking, he let out a happy chuckle at Nina Jacobs’ praise.
Tristan Lynch discovered that the few people who had stayed behind, including the Water Element Superpower User Theresa Thorne, had already gotten very friendly with Zephyra.
With the new water tanks, Theresa Thorne immediately started filling them, muttering:
"There’s no way I’m going to be outdone by a cat."
"A cat? What cat? Why are you competing with a cat?"
Tristan Lynch asked.
Theresa Thorne was going through a rebellious phase and had an eccentric personality. Usually, they had to threaten and intimidate her just to get her to produce a little extra water.
Seeing her store water so diligently was a first.
"I just have to compete,"
Theresa Thorne simply replied.
Nina Jacobs, meanwhile, took out a map that now had several new places circled on it.
"There are still plenty of useful things around here. Tomorrow, you’ll go to these spots."
They were a few clothing and shoe factories.
"Is this stuff really useful?"
Tristan Lynch asked, looking over the implied list of goods. It actually included things like raw cotton, padded shoes, and winter clothes.
"What if it’s useful in the future?
As someone managing a base, you have to think proactively, right?"
Nina Jacobs asked.
"Right, right, right. Better safe than sorry, right, Miss Zephyra?"
Lachlan said fawningly.
"If Tristan is tired, he can rest for a day. I’ll go with everyone else."
Ever since witnessing Zephyra’s power, Shane Shepherd had been keeping his head down for the past two days.
Every time he remembered his foolish attempt to ambush her, he wanted to slap himself.
"Who said I’m tired? We’re meeting here at 6 a.m. tomorrow. No slacking off!"
Tristan Lynch shot a glare at Shane Shepherd.
Ever since he learned that Zephyra planned to build a base, he had faintly sensed a threat.
It seemed like every single one of them wanted to take his place.
He had to work even harder to prove himself.
Nina Jacobs simply pretended not to notice what they were all thinking.
After two more days of effortlessly collecting supplies, the group finally continued on their journey.
Once they were back on the road, Tristan Lynch said with some concern:
"I wonder if Achilles Renner and his group went back to look for us."
They had actually rested here for five days.
Though they had gathered a lot of supplies.
"There are only two places he’d look. If he didn’t find us, he’ll just go back. He’s that strong, after all,"
