After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417: Chapter 417: A Great Threat Once Grown

"But my friend is still here."

Nina Jacobs could tell these two were putting on an act.

"But this... Tobin, he really did commit a crime... It makes it difficult for us to make a case for him."

Ms. Carter feigned distress.

"Miss Jacobs, even if you were to win five consecutive matches and earn your freedom, you wouldn’t be able to take Mr. Tobin with you."

Wyatt Holden said.

"With Mr. Tobin’s skill, winning five consecutive matches in here won’t be easy."

"I can wait for him."

"Miss Jacobs, we have a better way. It all depends on whether you’ll agree to it."

Seeing the time was right, Ms. Carter said with a smile.

"What other way is there?"

’I’ll see what this Ms. Carter is really up to.’

"Come work for the base. We can officially hire you. With your abilities, Miss Jacobs, I believe you’re more than qualified."

Ms. Carter said with a smile, her hands crossed on the table.

She was sure Nina Jacobs would agree to this condition.

However, to her surprise, Nina Jacobs refused.

"Why?"

Surprise showed on Wyatt Holden’s face as well.

In their eyes, no one could refuse an offer from the base.

After all, here in Lornwood Base, that was tantamount to having special privileges.

Nina Jacobs could sense that General Hughes hadn’t left. More precisely, he was in the next room, most likely observing everything that was happening.

"I’m used to my freedom. This place isn’t for me."

Nina Jacobs remembered her deal with Harlan. Killing General Hughes here would clearly be unwise.

Besides, she still hadn’t discovered the location and destination of Lornwood Base’s supplies and Crystal Cores.

"You can rest assured about that. This job is perfect for you, and it’s only for two months. As long as you agree to take it and can complete the missions, we can give you ample supplies and rewards."

Ms. Carter said.

If Nina Jacobs agreed, Ms. Carter reasoned, the Strength Element Superpower User who seemed to be her bodyguard would surely follow.

’A two-month job?’

"What kind of work is it?" Nina Jacobs asked.

Ms. Carter and Wyatt Holden exchanged a glance before she answered:

"It’s very simple. You just need to safely deliver items from the base to their destination to complete a mission. The only catch is that you’ll encounter plenty of zombies and zombie animals along the way, but I’m sure that won’t be a problem for you."

This surprised Nina Jacobs.

’A mission to transport things from the base to a destination... are they delivering supplies?’

"Miss Jacobs, this job offers absolute freedom. The only person you’ll have to answer to is General Hughes himself. In the future, you’ll be able to come and go as you please anywhere in the base, and that includes unrestricted access to water."

Wyatt Holden seemed afraid Nina Jacobs would refuse again.

A wide, welcoming smile spread across his face. "Perhaps we’ll be colleagues in the future."

In Wyatt Holden’s opinion, these privileges were an irresistible offer for a newcomer to the base.

Nina Jacobs pretended to think it over before asking, "If I agree, can you guarantee you won’t cause any more trouble for Tobin?"

"Of course. Mr. Tobin hasn’t committed any unforgivable crime. Since he’s a friend of yours, Miss Jacobs, we can grant him special treatment."

Ms. Carter replied instantly.

Nina Jacobs nodded. "Alright, I’ll give it a try."

Ms. Carter’s expression relaxed.

"I knew you were a practical woman, Miss Jacobs. However, the details of this job must be kept confidential, so..."

"Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone."

Nina Jacobs assured her.

"Excellent. We’ve also prepared living quarters for you, Miss Jacobs. I’m sure you’ll like them."

Ms. Carter said with a meaningful smile.

Nina Jacobs hadn’t expected to regain her freedom so quickly.

She could even enter and exit the correction pod as she pleased.

Since she needed to inform Tobin, Nina Jacobs arranged to meet with Wyatt Holden again in two hours.

Right now, the person she was most worried about was Naomi Summers.

Ms. Carter said. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
