After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Montague

After returning to her room, Nina Jacobs took out the phone Zoraida had given her.

There were no outlets or charging ports inside the correctional pod. Only a dim light on the ceiling stayed on, uncontrollably, late into the night.

Nina Jacobs found a power bank, and the phone soon powered on.

The photo album did indeed contain many videos the two sisters had recorded, as well as pictures of Isabella Ramsey mending clothes for people.

Then, Nina Jacobs came across a long-shot photograph.

From the photo’s perspective, a group of people was indeed gathering.

They weren’t wearing the base’s guard uniforms, but a variety of plain clothes.

A tall, middle-aged man stood at the front—he looked like he must be General Hughes.

’Is this the Shadow Legion?’

The photo was a bit blurry when zoomed in due to the distance, but she could faintly make out a few figures who looked similar to some of the people she had seen around the train that day.

’The supplies that were shipped out, that group of people, and General Hughes and Mrs. White... looks like they’re all in it together.’

This photograph provided a clear answer.

The only question was how many supplies and Crystal Cores were left in Lornwood Base, and where the previously transported supplies had gone.

That night, based on the information gathered from the Little Zombie Rats, the underground tunnels seemed to have ceased operation.

One Little Zombie Rat on a rooftop saw Ms. Carter leaving the correctional pod.

Another Little Zombie Rat seemed to have run into a "dead end" and hadn’t found its way out yet...

Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner’s third fighting competition match was scheduled for the afternoon.

The Team 1 newcomers, who had only been in the correctional pod for two days, had unexpectedly become the two new stars of the fighting competition.

People had been rushing to place their bets since early in the morning:

"Put all my money on these two!"

"I’m betting on Nina Jacobs."

"I want to bet on Wayne Warner..."

"Are you sure? Her opponent today is the Wood Element user, Montague."

"What? It’s Montague?"

"The Wood Element has an advantage over the Earth Element. Plus, Montague is ruthless. Maybe we should bet on him?"

"That makes sense..."

Nina Jacobs still bet 500 Crystal Cores on herself, only this time she had Zachary Sterling and the others place the bet for her.

Nina Jacobs didn’t appear in the corridor leading to the arena until just before the fighting competition began that afternoon.

A figure was leaning against the wall.

When he saw her approaching, he extended an arm to stop her.

"It’s you?"

Nina Jacobs looked at Dominic Sloan with confusion and wariness.

He had been her opponent in her first match.

"Be careful of him. He uses poison," Dominic Sloan said, looking down.

Nina Jacobs’s expression shifted slightly.

"Thanks," she said and continued walking forward.

The match was about to begin.

Nina Jacobs stood in the center of the arena, lost in thought.

’Montague, huh?’

’Looks like this fight is bound to be tricky.’

"I finally have the chance to witness Miss Jacobs’s Superpower firsthand."

Montague stood opposite Nina Jacobs, a profound look in his eyes.

He drew closer to Nina Jacobs and said in a low voice, 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"How about we cooperate? If you’re willing to lose to me, I’ll get you out of this place."

"Not interested."

Nina Jacobs was already on her guard, but his words still made her feel that there was more to him than met the eye.

"Is it because you have friends here? The one in Team 5? Easy. As long as you agree, getting him out won’t be a problem either," Montague said.

"One minute left," Nina Jacobs said, glancing at the screen.

"What?"

"There’s less than a minute until the match starts. I’d advise you not to stand so close to me."

Nina Jacobs’s gaze was unwavering.

If he really wanted to cooperate with her, he wouldn’t have waited until now to bring it up.

’This Montague is either taking a gamble or trying to throw off my rhythm.’

"Not an ounce of trust, huh? What a shame. I’ve had my eye on you for a few days. How about you be my girlfriend?"
