After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Planning to Sell Water

"I came out alone today."

Nina Jacobs glanced into the distance. "Your companion seems to be injured. Aren’t you going to treat him?"

Genevieve lowered her head. "We don’t have any medicine or a Healer. To get him treated, we’d have to go back to the base and beg for help."

Besides, Lornwood Base was a long way from here.

’Those high-and-mighty Healers would probably just ignore him anyway.’

"I can save him,"

Nina Jacobs said.

Genevieve looked up, her face lighting up with surprise.

"But I need your help with something else."

Hearing Nina’s condition, Genevieve agreed without the slightest hesitation.

「Twenty minutes later.」

Alana Ulrich’s wound was wrapped in a neat layer of white gauze.

The heavy bleeding from beneath the bandage had stopped.

"That’s... all it took?"

someone from the group asked.

"Yes. He just needs to get some proper rest now."

With that, Nina Jacobs took out a bottle of water and handed it to Alana Ulrich.

A hush fell over the group. Alana Ulrich stared at the bottle of water, stunned.

His lips were cracked and peeling, his skin resembled a dried-up riverbed, and his eyes were dull with thirst.

A closer look revealed that nearly everyone in the group was in the same state. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"This is too valuable. I can’t drink it."

Alana Ulrich licked his lips, but his eyes remained glued to the bottle.

It had been a long time since he had seen a full bottle of clean water.

They had all grown accustomed to limiting their movements and staying indoors to reduce moisture loss.

Taking only a single sip of water every three days was the norm.

"Consider it a sale, then."

’The bottle was filled with water produced by Lexy, and I want to see if trading it will earn me any System Experience.’

"How much... are you selling it for?"

Malcolm Holden asked immediately.

’Maybe if all of us pool our belongings, we’ll have enough to buy that bottle of water.’

"Two Crystal Cores,"

Nina Jacobs said after a moment’s thought.

’Two?’

Everyone there was shocked.

"I’ll buy it."

Genevieve immediately produced two Crystal Cores.

’It’s a matter of life and death. There’s no reason to hesitate.’

Nina Jacobs accepted the Crystal Cores and immediately received a system notification:

[Host has completed a resource trade. Title "The Doomsday Supplier" triggered. 5 System Experience Points awarded.]

’So that’s how it works,’ Nina thought. ’A single bottle of water gets me five Experience Points?’

’What about a larger quantity?’

"I have more water in my car for sale,"

Nina Jacobs announced as she stood up.

This time, even Genevieve thought she had misheard.

"Is it still two Crystal Cores per bottle?"

Malcolm Holden asked.

"You’re not from Lornwood Base, are you?"

As her companions swarmed forward with eager eyes, Genevieve held them back, telling them to be patient.

Nina Jacobs nodded. "I’m not. I’m from Tomorrow Base."

’Tomorrow Base?’

The group exchanged confused glances.

They had never heard of it.

"Your base doesn’t have a water shortage, does it?"

Genevieve quickly put the pieces together.

Even though she had no idea where Tomorrow Base was.

You could tell the difference between someone who was water-deprived and someone who wasn’t just by looking at them.

The woman before her had glowing, supple skin and spoke with a calm confidence.

It was obvious she wasn’t lacking for supplies or water.

Nina Jacobs nodded.

’I’m really curious to see if the System Experience will stack if I trade more water.’
