After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Everyone Comes to Find Someone

Inside the desolate Lornwood Base.

There were few people on the streets.

Some were searching through abandoned rooms for any remaining food or usable supplies.

Scavengers were plentiful, and brawls broke out constantly.

But there was no one left to keep order.

What they didn’t know was that after today, Tomorrow Base would no longer be escorting anyone else out.

Inside a thoroughly ransacked administrative building, a man watched a nearby squabble, his expression filled with disgust.

"Miss Ziegler, it’s getting late. We’re heading back now. We’re leaving tomorrow. Whether or not you join us is up to you; we don’t mind either way."

Veronica Ziegler was sweating profusely as she dug through a pile of waste paper, with no energy to spare for the man’s words.

Seeing this, Dylan Stone was about to turn and leave with his men.

Just then, several people walked in through the doorway.

These newcomers were clearly different from the other survivors left in the base. A single glance told you they were not to be trifled with.

Veronica Ziegler glanced over as well.

When she saw Nina Jacobs, her eyes widened.

"It’s you?"

Veronica Ziegler shot to her feet and rushed right up to Nina Jacobs.

"Miss Ziegler? Long time no see."

Nina Jacobs feigned surprise.

Veronica Ziegler looked frantic, her face gaunt and exhausted—a far cry from how she had appeared on Mornfell.

"Summer Warner, you’re alive! You’re alive?!

Do you know where Alistair White went?

Or Magnus York? Since you’re alive, then Alistair White must not be dead either, right?"

Veronica Ziegler demanded frantically.

She reached for Summer Warner as if to keep her from fleeing, but Wayne Warner stepped in her way.

"Wayne Warner and I were just lucky to escape the mountain that day.

Alistair White and Magnus York... they must have been killed by that group. Do you still not know what happened that day?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

’During the trip to Mornfell, only Wayne Warner and I showed our faces.’

’Adrian Shaw and the others from City D Base had remained completely hidden.’

’According to the false information we spread, Magnus York and Alistair White were killed by Trey Windslow and Edric Holden, who then stole the Mystic Ice Core.’

’Could it be that Veronica Ziegler still doesn’t know?’

"No, I know. I heard they all died.

But there was no trace of him or Magnus York on the mountain!

They must still be alive! Otherwise, why can’t I even find his body?"

Veronica was visibly agitated.

"You’ve been to Mornfell too? You know what happened?"

The man at her side questioned Nina, his eyes fixed on her.

"Yes, Dylan Stone, her name is Summer Warner. She was also on Mornfell that day.

Since she’s alive, it proves that Alistair White is very likely alive too!

Quick, grab her! Don’t let her get away!"

Veronica Ziegler pointed at Summer Warner.

"Shut up."

Dylan Stone glared at Veronica Ziegler.

’She looks impatient and foolish, yet with just a few words, she’s managed to pit our two groups against each other.’

’He had too few people with him. This was not the time for an open confrontation.’

"Everyone, my name is Dylan Stone, and these are my friends.

We came to Lornwood Base to help Miss Ziegler look for someone. Miss Ziegler is probably just overly anxious. I hope you all won’t take her words to heart."

Dylan Stone’s expression softened as he spoke to Nina and her companions.

Lornwood Base was lawless now. If their two groups were to fight, the outcome would be uncertain.

Besides, anyone who could escape from Mornfell was bound to be formidable.

"Is that so? What a coincidence. We’re also here looking for someone,"

Nina Jacobs said.

"Who are you looking for?" Veronica Ziegler immediately asked.

Those people just took advantage of their weakness. All I remember is Alistair White falling into some kind of pit. He must be dead." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
