After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394: Chapter 394: A Loving Family

Lornwood Base.

Inside the dormitories of the Water Source Management Division.

"Numbers 71 through 91, get out here! Stop dawdling!"

An electric baton rapped haphazardly against the metal door, the loud noise instantly making the people locked inside tense up.

Naomi Summers glanced down at the number tag on her chest.

Number 75.

"Hurry up, Naomi. If we’re late for assembly, they’ll add more time again,"

a companion beside her reminded her. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Hearing this, Naomi Summers immediately stood up and followed the men and women who were automatically forming a line as they walked out.

The fat man in charge of leading them out saw this and started to laugh.

"Looks like you really are eager to get out."

But it was a shame they would probably never get out.

This so-called "adding time" was a rule the higher-ups had established for the Water Element Superpower Users in the Water Source Management Division.

Each person just had to stay here for one full year and train well, and after that year, they would be allowed to leave.

If they didn’t participate in training or defied the rules, more time would be added to their one-year sentence.

For example, being late for the three-minute assembly would earn them an additional ten days.

That was why every time the iron door clanged, these Water Element Superpower Users, no matter how reluctant, would line up with lightning speed.

They would obediently follow him to where they were supposed to go.

Naomi Summers, like everyone else, ignored the fat supervisor’s mockery.

Previously, some people, unable to stand the supervisor’s gloating tone, had tried to fight him.

The result was being shot and killed by the guards on the spot.

This time, they were led into a massive stadium.

Before them was a swimming pool, about thirty meters long and seven or eight meters wide.

"Your task today is to fill this with fresh, clean water. If you don’t finish by nightfall, everyone gets another thirty days added on,"

the fat supervisor said.

"Didn’t we just fill this up three days ago?"

a Water Element Superpower User next to Naomi Summers asked.

The fat supervisor grew impatient. "Didn’t you hear what I said? It needs to be fresh, clean water. Our Young Miss likes to swim and play in the water. How could we let our Young Miss use water that’s been sitting here for three days? It’s barely good enough to flush a toilet."

"Enough with the nonsense. Get a move on. The Young Miss is coming to play tomorrow."

With that, the fat supervisor rapped his electric baton against a nearby metal handrail, the loud sound echoing throughout the stadium.

After the fat supervisor left,

the column of water in Naomi Summers’s hands transformed into a thick Water Tornado, which churned as it fell into the swimming pool.

She liked to shape water into various forms—sometimes swords and blades, sometimes shields. She’d heard that this was how Superpower Users on the outside killed zombies.

"I heard that a few days ago, several of Justin’s group nearly died from Superpower exhaustion just to fill that pool,"

a companion said from the side.

"And they drain it after just one use. They really don’t see us as human."

"Human? We aren’t human here. We’re just tools."

"But with Naomi here today, we should be able to finish the task, right, Naomi?"

Naomi Summers’s Water Element Superpower was the strongest among them. It was said she practiced day and night because she wanted to get out sooner to see her mother and sister.

"Yes, we’ll finish,"

Naomi Summers replied.

She stared at the clean, blue swimming pool before her, but the faces of her mother and sister appeared in her mind.

The fat supervisor had only said they were safe and sound in the base, telling her to work hard and she would be free in a year.

But for a while now, she had been feeling an inexplicable anxiety and worry.

Unfortunately, they had no contact with the outside world here and absolutely no source of information.

"The base’s main gate should be open by now,"

someone said, looking in the direction of the gate.

"Yeah, it should be."

Naomi Summers looked in that direction as well.
