After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Just Scraps

Nina Jacobs told Silas Crowley and the others to wait here while she walked out of the Diamond Sand Cover.

’Tristan Lynch should still be in the house.’

But the moment she pushed the door open and stepped inside, she froze.

Corisande and Tristan Lynch were covered in blood.

Corisande lay on the ground, hovering between life and death.

On the floor nearby was a pile of furniture, dismantled appliances, and other supplies, all looking strangely out of place.

Tristan Lynch’s legs dangled limply. When he saw Nina Jacobs, he couldn’t help but burst into tears.

"They killed Lachlan and Shane Shepherd!

They killed Lachlan and Shane Shepherd!

Damn it... They..."

Hearing what Tristan Lynch said, Nina Jacobs ran to the backyard and, just as he’d said, saw the bodies of Lachlan and Shane Shepherd on the ground.

They weren’t breathing anymore.

"What about Damian?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

"They forced Damian to take out the supplies from his space..."

Tristan Lynch said through his tears.

After Damian took out a pile of useless junk, he was dragged into another room. Tristan had no idea if he was dead or alive.

When Nina Jacobs came back out, she was supporting a man who was barely breathing. It was Damian.

’The furniture and appliances on the floor must have come from Damian’s space.’

’Damian and the others had indeed been helping Tomorrow Base gather supplies these past few days.’

At this thought, a complicated mix of emotions welled up inside Nina Jacobs.

Corisande was still breathing, but her face had been slashed into a bloody mess by someone, and she was still unconscious.

"I’ll get someone to save you."

It wouldn’t be right to use a Healing Potion in front of Tristan Lynch. Nina Jacobs had just stood up when he stopped her.

The tendons in Tristan Lynch’s legs had been severed, undoubtedly the handiwork of Dylan Stone and his men.

"Don’t bother. Our mission was a failure,

and we didn’t report it in time. The Conclave won’t let any of us live...

The only reason Dylan Stone kept me alive was to take me back to report on the mission.

Once that’s done, I’ll just become another test subject in their lab. I’d rather die here."

Tristan Lynch said.

"I know you’re not with The Aegis Conclave. Kill me."

It was as if Tristan Lynch had become a different person. His tone was unprecedentedly calm.

"When?" Nina Jacobs asked. She hadn’t even realized that Tristan Lynch knew she wasn’t part of The Aegis Conclave.

"Back when you killed Achilles Renner."

Tristan Lynch replied.

Achilles Renner said you were too exceptional, that the Conclave would never send someone so talented to a backwater like Keldorn.

Although it was just a ploy by Achilles Renner to stall for time, Tristan had thought about it a lot later and decided he was right.

Just like him, Corisande, and the others—they were just expendable members of the Conclave, given the worst resources and the most remote assignments.

Why would an Intermediate Superpower User with a Fire and Earth Dual System like Nina Jacobs be assigned to work with them?

"So you knew back then but just pretended you didn’t."

Nina Jacobs was silent for a moment. Just now, Peter Whitman had said that Tristan Lynch, Corisande, and their group hadn’t revealed anything.

That was why they had been brutally tortured by Dylan Stone.

"Why didn’t you tell Dylan Stone and his men about me?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

Tristan Lynch gave a bitter smile and pulled a blood-drenched Wind Vortex Dart from behind his back. It was the weapon Nina Jacobs had given him for self-defense.

"Because this Wind Vortex Dart... it works like a charm."

Only Nina Jacobs ever told them to protect themselves.

Even when they slacked off and goofed around, she had never been harsh with them.

"Besides, you came to save us, didn’t you?"

Tristan Lynch choked up.

In the past, he, Lachlan, and the others had always envied the people who followed Nina Jacobs.

It had nothing to do with power or rewards; they were simply envious of those she considered friends.

The moment he saw Dylan Stone kill Shane Shepherd and Lachlan without a shred of hesitation, he knew he could never betray Nina Jacobs.
