After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Prank

Arcadia White also said, "She’s just a child who doesn’t know any better. Nina, don’t pay her any mind."

"You, on the other hand, performed exceptionally well tonight.

I’d like to invite you and Wayne Warner to visit us in Whittaker Town. Would you be willing?"

Arcadia White pulled Nina Jacobs down to sit on the sofa, extending an olive branch with a look of utmost sincerity.

"Whittaker Town?"

Nina Jacobs asked in confusion.

’Is that different from White Village?’

"It’s my hometown. You know how it is, there are always some stubborn elders in the family who refuse to leave.

So Aiden is escorting us back this time.

I was thinking that with you and Wayne Warner with us, we’d be much safer.

After all, it isn’t a base."

"But rest assured, the compensation for you and Wayne Warner will be several times better than what you’d get at Lornwood Base.

Once we’re there, you won’t have to worry about your livelihood again."

Arcadia White said all this in a rush. Nina Jacobs listened intently, appearing deep in thought.

Arcadia White smiled and said, "I’m only asking because I can see Evelina is especially fond of you. Of course, if you’re not willing, I won’t insist."

Nina Jacobs nodded. "I’d like some more time to consider it."

"All right, there’s no rush. I’ll wait for your answer tomorrow."

Mrs. White went upstairs after she finished speaking.

Hearing the door close upstairs, Godfrey Thatcher, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled the two of them into his room.

Godfrey Thatcher had an urgent look on his face. "Whatever you do, don’t believe her!"

"You mean Mrs. White?" Nina Jacobs asked, curious.

Godfrey Thatcher nodded frantically.

"The place they’re going... you might go in, but you’ll never come out.

I’ve never been there myself, but I know it’s no good."

As if remembering something, Godfrey Thatcher’s eyes widened. "Before Commander Langdon went missing, he followed them there.

And then... he wasn’t the same when he came back!"

Godfrey Thatcher knew that saying this could get him killed, but Nina Jacobs and Wayne Warner had just saved his life.

He had to warn them, no matter the cost.

"Where do you usually take them?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

"Morrowgate. Sometimes General Hughes just goes and comes right back, and even that takes two days."

Godfrey Thatcher replied.

He and the rest of the Shadow Legion were only ever allowed to wait at a spot near Morrowgate to pick up General Hughes and his party on their way back.

"I understand. We’ll be careful."

Godfrey Thatcher relaxed a little after Nina Jacobs gave her word.

"Before, whenever we ran into any danger, they’d always ditch me and run.

You two were the only ones who didn’t... So..."

Godfrey Thatcher trailed off, embarrassed.

It was the first time he, a grown man, had ever been saved by a woman.

"Well, you’re pretty sharp yourself."

Nina Jacobs said with a smile.

It was late at night by the time Cecily Wells and Jasper Paxton returned.

In the main hall, Julia Hughes seemed to have woken up. She looked at the two exhausted figures on the sofa and said:

"I want to play ’kill the zombies’ too. You can pretend to be zombies and play with me, okay?"

"We’re exhausted. Go find someone else to play with."

Jasper Paxton barely managed to restrain his anger.

He wouldn’t have been this exhausted if he hadn’t had to keep going easy on Julia Hughes.

Dissatisfied, Julia Hughes turned and walked away.

But soon enough, she was knocking on Godfrey Thatcher’s door.

"Digby has to play with me."

Godfrey Thatcher felt helpless but opened the door. "Okay, but only for a little while. Everyone needs to rest for the road tomorrow."

"Okay!"

It was rare to see Julia Hughes be so agreeable, so Godfrey Thatcher patiently started to play with her.

Nina Jacobs didn’t leave her room. Instead, she had a few of her Little Zombie Rats stand guard outside the courtyard gate.

She also wanted to use them to listen in on General Hughes’s quarters.

Just then, in the living room, a tray of juice brought by Julia Hughes was sitting on the table.
