After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Watch Your Words

Nina Jacobs took a couple of seconds to react after seeing Rhonda Rowan.

Rhonda Rowan had cut her hair short and looked a little different from when she was with Cordelia, Tobin, and the others.

She remembered that when Tobin went to Pyralia to bring back Thaddeus Wren and the others, Rhonda Rowan had chosen to return to Lornwood Base.

Tobin never told her about Tomorrow Base, so all she knew was that Nina Jacobs and her group had found a place to stay.

A few other people got out of the car behind Rhonda Rowan.

One of them immediately paled when he saw the insignia on Nina Jacobs’s uniform.

The green badge on her chest signified that she was someone handpicked by the base and held certain privileges.

They could come and go from most places and even had the right to dispose of any survivor in the base as they saw fit.

He tugged on Rhonda Rowan’s sleeve and said in a low voice,

"Ms. Rowan, her status must be something special. Did you see those prisoners? She might be the one who caught them. We should get going."

Rhonda Rowan’s expression changed as well upon hearing this.

’Nina Jacobs was clearly an outsider with no one to rely on. How is she working for the base?’

"I know her. Wait here for me."

After saying this, Rhonda Rowan walked over to Nina Jacobs’s side.

"Where’s that cat of yours?"

Rhonda Rowan noticed that only Wayne Warner was with Nina Jacobs.

Nina Jacobs ignored her and instead pressed the buzzer in her hand.

Just a few seconds later, a side door opened, and a squad of guards ran out.

"Captain Jacobs."

Rhonda Rowan was even more astonished when she heard what the guards called Nina Jacobs.

Nina Jacobs nodded and pointed to the vehicle containing the "bait." The guards understood immediately.

"Understood. We’ll take them for an inspection first," said Tristan Paxton, the one in the lead.

"Nina Jacobs, I’m talking to you. Didn’t you hear me?"

Seeing her companions looking at her doubtfully, Rhonda Rowan persisted, unwilling to let it go.

Only then did Nina Jacobs turn around.

"As I recall, unauthorized personnel are not allowed near the base’s west gate."

Rhonda Rowan and her group were clearly just passing by. The others shivered when they heard Nina’s words.

"Captain Jacobs, should we make them leave?" Tristan Paxton asked as he walked over.

Most of the base guards had been part of the force since the founding of Lornwood Base, tasked with the duty of protecting it.

They took their orders from General Hughes, as he was the only one in the base they could trust anymore.

They didn’t kill indiscriminately. Even with the rule that unauthorized personnel were forbidden from approaching the west gate fortress, they would usually just drive people away.

Hearing the guard’s words, Rhonda Rowan’s face turned deathly pale.

With her companions tugging at her from behind, she had no choice but to get back in the car.

And from beginning to end, Nina Jacobs never once gave her a direct look.

"Ms. Rowan, even if you knew them before, you shouldn’t just go up and greet people like that now. You could get yourself killed," one of her companions said inside the car, still shaken.

"Yeah, thankfully those guards were reasonable. I think she probably let us off because of your past connection."

"What do you all know?" Rhonda Rowan cut off their discussion.

Her companions frowned at her, seemingly confused as to why she would say that.

"She shouldn’t be here. Do you have any idea who she is?"

Rhonda Rowan stared straight at them and said,

"She’s the one who killed Corin. I saw it with my own eyes."

"How is that possible? Didn’t you say before that Corin was bitten by a zombie while protecting everyone?" one of her companions asked.

"Yeah, you can’t just say things like that. If Director Palmer found out, he would definitely question you about it."

"Something came up on the way." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
