After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Unflustered

"Ma’am, we should be heading back," an older woman said, walking over from the side. "The young miss is about to wake up."

"Yes, Ms. Abbott... Don’t you think... this world is a bit too unfair?" Arcadia White said, gazing at Anselm Hughes’s retreating back.

"Why can some people have a Dual Element Superpower, while Evelina and I are just ordinary people?"

"Well..."

Hearing Arcadia White’s words, Ms. Abbott was momentarily at a loss for a reply.

"Superpower Users look more vibrant and youthful, but ordinary people have to endure all sorts of illnesses and infections, and we age faster, too..."

Arcadia White caressed her face, which was no longer smooth.

She was not a Superpower User.

Neither was her daughter.

But Anselm Hughes had already become the only Intermediate Superpower User in all of Lornwood.

His face and body grew healthier and more vigorous by the day.

Anselm Hughes was already four years younger than her to begin with.

Now, when she stood next to him, they looked like they were from two different generations.

"Ma’am, you’re overthinking things. Besides, you had half your blood replaced for the family’s sake before. That would naturally take a toll on your body. If you just rest and recuperate properly, you might recover."

Ms. Abbott coaxed her gently.

"And you still call the shots on the lives of most Superpower Users in the base."

After hearing Ms. Abbott’s words, Arcadia White felt a little more at ease.

But then she suddenly said, "What if I could make that Dual Element Superpower User obey me completely? Wouldn’t Aiden become even more inseparable from me then?"

A glint of excitement appeared in Arcadia White’s eyes.

"You mustn’t, Ma’am! The White Family’s ancestral teachings say one person can only control one puppet at most! Otherwise, not only will it severely harm your body, but there’s also a risk of losing control."

Ms. Abbott hastily advised.

"You’re right. But if I can’t, there’s still Evelina," Arcadia White said.

"But the young miss is still so young! How could she..."

Ms. Abbott’s words were drowned out by the sound of the convoy starting up.

Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner were assigned to the second-to-last vehicle in the convoy.

As for the last, sealed vehicle, it contained several dozen "decoys."

General Hughes’s vehicle was at the very front.

Behind his vehicle were three escort team vehicles.

And behind them were nine transport trucks.

The driver of their truck was surprisingly a young woman.

The woman greeted the two of them with a warm, friendly smile.

"Hello, my name is Cecily Wells. I’ll be your driver today," Cecily Wells introduced herself.

Nina Jacobs nodded.

The woman’s demeanor could easily make one lower their guard and feel a sense of closeness.

However, the moment Nina Jacobs saw Cecily Wells, she was on alert.

In that photo of the Shadow Legion, one of the women standing at the very front looked very similar to the Cecily Wells before her.

But Cecily Wells was sitting now, and the photo had been somewhat blurry, so she couldn’t be certain.

"This is my first time meeting a Dual Element Superpower User. You’re so amazing," Cecily Wells said in a tone full of admiration as the truck slowly started to move.

"How far is it from here to our destination?" Nina Jacobs asked instead.

Cecily Wells was taken aback for a moment, but she still replied with a smile:

"I’m not too sure, either. But I can secretly tell you where the destination is. They must not have told you any of this, right?"

"Right," Nina Jacobs replied.

’This Cecily Wells seems to be trying every trick in the book to get close to me.’

"I heard that our destination today is Mirewood Station. But I also heard you’re not from Lornwood, so you probably don’t know where Mirewood Station is, right?" Cecily Wells said.

"No, I don’t."

And Nina Jacobs truly didn’t know.

But sitting in the back, she had already pulled up her system map.

According to the system map, if their destination really was Mirewood Station, it would likely be dark by the time they arrived.

Just then, the intercom in the truck crackled to life.

It was General Hughes.
