After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Stolen Clean

That night, almost no one in Lornwood Base slept.

Nina Jacobs, however, returned to her residence after midnight.

She took a careful inventory of the supplies she had acquired that night.

The supplies in the underground warehouse were far more abundant than she had imagined, filling nearly all of her thirty-plus remaining storage slots.

Fortunately, the system had just been upgraded, and the capacity of her storage slots had expanded again.

She merged some of her previous slots, ultimately freeing up over twenty empty ones.

Her current reserve of supplies was now quite substantial.

The supplies she had gathered tonight alone were probably enough to sustain a base of ten thousand people for more than two years.

’The White Family’s supply stash must be even larger than this.’

Nina Jacobs lay on her bed, gazing at the wooden key in her hand, which she had already cleaned.

’I’ve probably collected almost all of Lornwood Base’s supplies. It seems there’s no longer any need to stay here.’

But the whereabouts of the supplies that had been transported away earlier were still unknown.

’The White Family is one of the Ancient Martial Clans... do they have any connection to the Mystic Sect?’

Other than Tristan Lynch and his group from before, it seemed the Aegis Conclave hadn’t gotten its hands on this place yet.

However, she knew it was only a matter of time. The disappearance of Magnus York and the others would most likely be discovered soon.

She had to secure all the supplies before anyone from the Aegis Conclave arrived.

For the next two days, Lornwood Base was under complete lockdown—entry was permitted, but no one could leave.

Every day, numerous people were dragged into the Correction Chambers for interrogation, and a sense of panic gripped the base.

"The Aid Association was taken down too. I heard Montague Goldman is dead, but I have no idea what happened to Director Palmer."

When Cordelia and Reginald Sutton returned, they brought the sweltering heat in with them.

Nina Jacobs had somehow acquired several air cooler fans.

Although high-power appliances like air conditioners couldn’t be used in the base, the fans, constantly blowing air cooled by water that Lexy condensed, made the room surprisingly cool.

"How are things at the collective dorms?"

Nina Jacobs was watching Lexy crunch loudly on her cat food.

The loud, crunchy sounds were incredibly stress-relieving for her.

"Those people you mentioned aren’t there. I asked Jenna, and she just said she didn’t know."

After speaking, Cordelia took a glass of water from Reginald Sutton and gulped it down.

Nina had asked them to inquire about the people who had escaped from the Correction Chambers, but there seemed to be no trace of them within the base.

"If they’re not in the base, they must have escaped to the outside," Nina Jacobs said.

Theseus York and his group weren’t among the new people who had been thrown into the Correction Chambers either. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Anyway, it’s terrifying out there right now. You can get grabbed for questioning just by walking down the street. All the managers at the Aid Association were arrested. Not a single one was left. It looks like they really value that Commander Langdon."

Cordelia only knew that Evander Langdon had been rescued by a group of people and had most likely gone to their Tomorrow Base.

"It’s not because of that. The supplies in the warehouses are gone," Nina Jacobs finally explained.

"For real? The supplies were stolen? All of them?" Cordelia’s eyes went wide as she sat down next to Nina and asked.

"Yes, all of them," Nina Jacobs confirmed with certainty.

’The One-Click Collection feature is always thorough, never leaving behind a single grain of rice. That’s how I know I took it all.’

"Whoa, what kind of organization is that powerful? They must have a lot of Space Superpower Users, right? And the base didn’t even notice..." Cordelia marveled.

"Miss Jacobs, the thieves must be good people who couldn’t stand them," Zoraida, upon hearing this, looked excited instead.

"Zoraida is right. Those supplies didn’t belong to anyone in the first place. Maybe the people who took them can make better use of them," Reginald Sutton agreed.

Cordelia agreed with them as well, but still said worriedly, "We still shouldn’t say this outside. I heard General Hughes has killed a lot of people. Nina, you be careful too. Don’t get implicated by anyone."

"He probably won’t kill me for the time being," Nina Jacobs said with a smile.

’Because only Wayne Warner and I have seen what the rescuers looked like.’
