After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Lack of Crystal Cores

Before Tobin left, he had asked about buying some water from her.

He seemed to be planning on bringing someone back from Lornwood Base, so he only took a backpack’s worth of water.

Of course, Nina Jacobs didn’t charge him. It wasn’t a large amount, after all.

Thaddeus Wren had been in a state of constant shock ever since entering the area.

This continued until they were led into a large hall.

"I spent some time at Gralem Prison before, and it was nothing like this back then."

Thaddeus Wren was deeply impressed by the people from Griston. To think that outsiders like them would have the foresight to use Gralem Prison as a base.

Even he hadn’t considered it.

But he was even more impressed by Nina Jacobs and her group, who had managed to build a half-height perimeter wall in just a few days.

"You spent time in Gralem Prison?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

’Could it be that Thaddeus Wren was an inmate?’

Seeing Mirelle Keller look over as well, Thaddeus Wren hurriedly explained:

"In the early days, a friend and I had the contract for the canteen here.

But we only did it for one year and didn’t renew when the contract was up."

’A canteen...’ 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

’The base definitely needs one.’

Since Thaddeus Wren had similar experience, Nina Jacobs decided to put him in charge of managing the canteen for now.

Thaddeus Wren couldn’t have asked for more, but he hadn’t expected Nina Jacobs to trust him so much.

To be given a job assignment right after he arrived.

"It’s a job, but it’s also a responsibility. I’m confident that Captain Wren is more than capable of handling it,"

Nina Jacobs said.

She knew that, privately, there were still people who were skeptical about the new base.

That was why she would remember everyone who was willing to help with its construction at this critical time.

Among the people Thaddeus Wren had brought, many were ordinary people without Superpowers.

"This base doesn’t support idlers. New job positions will be posted shortly.

Once you’ve all rested, you can go and sign up."

Nina Jacobs announced to the crowd.

"Can those of us... without Superpowers get jobs, too?"

After some hesitation among the group, one person finally dared to voice the question.

"Of course. The new base can’t be built without everyone’s help.

Anyone who participates in the base’s construction within the first thirty days, regardless of whether you have Superpowers or not, will have your food and lodging fees waived for six months."

Nina Jacobs replied.

In her previous life, her own small base had also had plenty of ordinary people without Superpowers.

Lacking Superpowers, those people had often been more invested in and attentive to the base’s development.

For the ordinary people Thaddeus Wren brought to have survived in a harsh environment like Keldorn, they were clearly not to be underestimated.

As soon as Nina Jacobs finished speaking, even Thaddeus Wren and Mirelle Keller, who was standing to the side, were shocked.

"By food and lodging fees, you mean both meals and housing?"

Marcellus asked on behalf of a few friends beside him, who were too excited yet timid to ask themselves.

There were men and women among them, but they all shared the same distinct lack of confidence in their eyes.

Nina Jacobs looked at him and nodded. "That’s right. Both meals and housing fees will be waived, but this is limited to those who can pass an assessment.

The relevant assessment system will be announced shortly, and its content will have nothing to do with whether or not you have Superpowers."

The assessment wouldn’t be difficult; it was merely to prevent people from slacking off or cheating the system.

"That’s only fair, of course. But rest assured, Miss Jacobs, the ones who remained at Pyralia aren’t freeloaders. Everyone will definitely pull their weight."

When Thaddeus Wren had decided to bring these people, he had been worried, but after hearing Nina Jacobs’s words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

’As long as they can find work now, no one will have to worry about survival for at least the next year.’

And so, Nina Jacobs also posted job positions specifically for ordinary people.

Some were administrative roles, while others were for the daily cleaning of the base.
