After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Puppetry Technique

Nina Jacobs was a little surprised.

’The First Madam?’

However, she still accepted the food Diana Tate handed her.

All the food inside appeared to be in its original, unopened packaging.

’She knows I’m wary of the food here, so she had someone send these instead.’

’Looks like she’s been paying close attention.’

"Please thank the First Madam for me."

Nina Jacobs said.

"Neither of you are from Whittaker Town, and we aren’t either. You can ask me if you have any questions."

Diana Tate didn’t seem ready to leave just yet, instead taking a seat on the wooden steps in front of the cabin.

Nina Jacobs wasn’t about to miss such a good opportunity, so she asked:

"How many people here are from outside of Whittaker Town?"

Her Little Zombie Rat had detected something around Whittaker Town last night, but with so many wooden puppets patrolling, she had recalled it early.

"About 300 or so. They’re all very powerful Superpower Users who take turns going out on training expeditions with Flynn White.

The rest..."

Diana Tate said, gesturing in a circle. "They’re all guarding the perimeter of Whittaker Town. Outsiders, zombies, anyone trying to escape... they shoot to kill."

She turned her head and smiled as she spoke, but the smile was rather unsettling.

"But don’t worry. The ones who get to stay here are the cream of the crop, not like that scum outside."

Diana Tate said.

’300 Superpower Users stationed here?’

"Are those puppets some kind of automaton? They seem pretty interesting."

"Interesting?"

Diana Tate seemed surprised that Nina Jacobs would say that.

"Mhm. They move without needing a power source. Isn’t that interesting?"

Nina Jacobs said, pointing to a nearby puppet.

"That’s the ’Puppetry Technique.’ It’s a powerful ancient art that only the Whites can learn. However, I’ve heard that making them requires a specific component.

Without it, they can’t move."

Diana Tate said.

’So this Puppetry Technique can be learned?’

Nina Jacobs could tell Diana Tate probably didn’t know anything else about the Puppetry Technique, so she didn’t press the issue.

She decided to use an Invisibility Potion to investigate Whittaker Town for herself tonight.

"The First Madam also said that if you run into any trouble, Miss Jacobs, you can go to her for help. Don’t be a stranger."

Diana Tate emphasized before she left.

"Okay."

Nina Jacobs nodded. ’On the surface, there’s no sign of conflict between the three branches, but has it really reached this point already?’

’They’re even trying to win over an outsider like me who’s only been here a day.’

Han Lewis, locked in his room, made no further sound all afternoon. Nina Jacobs couldn’t help but think that keeping a disturbed person around was far more peaceful than dealing with the malicious Julia Hughes.

’Then again, it might have been the effect of the Healing Potion she had mixed into his water.’

’After all, Han Lewis looked like he hadn’t rested in a long time, and wounds need rest to heal.’

At dusk, one of Arcadia White’s people brought some food for her and Wayne Warner. It was an older woman, and she made a point of looking in on Han Lewis.

"It seems you and he are getting along, Miss Jacobs. I heard Han Lewis hasn’t slept a wink in three days.

Who would have thought he’d fall right asleep as soon as he came to you."

Laura Quincy was grinning from ear to ear. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"He’s just a madman. I had Wayne Warner knock him out."

Nina Jacobs replied dismissively.

"How could you treat him like that?"

Laura Quincy demanded, her brow furrowed.

"A problem? Why don’t you take him back and look after him yourself?"

Nina Jacobs asked in earnest.

She didn’t know if Han Lewis was innocent, but if these people genuinely wanted to help him, they wouldn’t have dumped him on an outsider.
