Keldorn was short on water.
Yet, Water Element Superpower Users weren’t highly valued.
Ever since the apocalypse began, the Water Element Superpower Users in Keldorn had mostly been treated as mobile water sources.
They were often confined to a small corner.
Their Skills were limited, they couldn’t kill zombies, and they couldn’t survive on their own.
No matter who captured them, they were merely scraping by.
So when they heard that Achilles Renner had been killed, they felt nothing.
Because it was the same no matter who they followed.
—Meow.
A large brown cat pushed the door open and padded inside.
Lynn Carter jumped in fright.
In their eyes, animals in the apocalypse were either man-eating Mutated Animals or zombie animals.
But Nina Jacobs just glanced at it and said, "Lexy, don’t be naughty."
—Meow.
After hearing her, the cat obediently sat to the side and began grooming itself.
"Sending you back isn’t out of the question,"
Nina Jacobs said.
Lynn Carter froze, then stared at her and asked, "What’s the catch?"
"There’s no catch. In a few days, I’ll be making a trip to Lornwood Base,
and if you want to go back, you can just come with me."
Nina Jacobs replied.
"Really?"
Overwhelmed with disbelief, Lynn Carter thought she must be dreaming.
"Of course it’s real. But for the next three days, you’ll need to go kill zombies with the others,"
Nina Jacobs said.
Although Gralem Prison was in a remote location, there were still zombies scattered around the area.
The battle outside the gates yesterday, in particular, had attracted zombies from dozens of kilometers around.
"Kill... zombies?"
Lynn Carter’s face instantly turned a few shades paler.
’How could we possibly kill zombies?’
This was no different from sending them to their deaths.
’So the outcome is still the same...’
Watching the dejected Lynn Carter walk out, Cordelia, who was outside the door, brought in a few more completed forms.
"Nina, will this actually work?
Wouldn’t it be better to just persuade them to produce water for us?"
Cordelia couldn’t help but say.
Their treatment would definitely be different from under Achilles Renner, and they would give these Water Element Superpower Users enough freedom.
They just needed to produce enough water.
She didn’t see anything wrong with that.
But Nina Jacobs clearly thought otherwise. "Among my friends in other places, there are also a few Water Element Superpower Users,
and they’re no worse than any other Superpower User.
Besides..."
’And Water Element Superpower Users who’ve absorbed a Mystic Ice Core are even stronger.’
"We currently only have a few dozen Water Element Superpower Users. At their current strength, they can at most satisfy the water needs of a few hundred people,
and that’s far from enough."
Nina Jacobs analyzed.
These Water Element Superpower Users weren’t using their Superpowers willingly, and their abilities were still very weak.
Going out to kill zombies was the best and fastest way for them to improve.
"I want them to start by changing their own mindset."
Hearing Nina Jacobs’s words, Cordelia was also slightly moved.
’Start by changing their own mindset?’
Perhaps Nina Jacobs’s idea could truly change the situation for Water Element Superpower Users.
Cordelia decided to wait and see.
The forms for the 39 Water Element Superpower Users had mostly been filled out.
About 10 of them wanted to return to the base to see their families and friends.
Some wanted to eat at a buffet.
Some wanted someone to talk with them.
Some wanted to drink a cup of coffee, to watch TV for a day...
Someone even requested to have dinner with Silas Crowley.
Nina Jacobs granted every request.
But the condition for all of them was to participate in the zombie-killing expeditions.
