After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Chapter 494: A Temporary Farewell

In her past life, the deep freeze hadn’t arrived suddenly. Although the temperature plummeted, the process still took several days.

It took about a week for the temperature to drop from highs of over sixty degrees Celsius to freezing.

After that, the temperature continued to drop drastically.

The apocalyptic freeze brought no rain or snow—just a pure, relentless drop in temperature.

Even when the sun shone brightly, people couldn’t feel any of its warmth.

The only small comfort in this bizarre weather was that solar power systems were unaffected...

Audrey Crowley was delighted that Nina Jacobs had agreed to travel with them.

"I think Tomorrow Base is a real gem of a location,

we’ve been seriously considering the feasibility of what Silas said. The Crowley Group and the Lucas Family... perhaps we really could relocate here."

Audrey Crowley watched Nina Jacobs’s reaction as she spoke.

Just as Silas had predicted, Nina didn’t object. On the contrary, she stated her position generously:

"The gates of Tomorrow Base are always open to the Crowley Clan. Silas is my friend, and I hope the base and the Crowley Group can achieve mutual success."

’So Audrey Crowley is someone who follows her heart. Silas must have repeatedly analyzed all the benefits of moving, but to little avail.’

’And yet, just because of some rumors about this place being a "land of good fortune," she completely changed her tune...’

A look of admiration appeared in Lyra Thorne’s eyes.

’For someone so young, her presence is second to none. And to agree without any conditions... that shows incredible foresight.’

"I’m glad you feel that way, Miss Jacobs," Audrey added. "However, the affairs of our Crowley and Lucas families are complex. We might also be entangled with an organization called the Mystic Sect. I wonder if you’ve heard of them?"

Nina’s eyes flickered. ’It seems Silas hasn’t told Audrey and the others anything about my dealings.’

So she nodded. "I’ve heard a little. I had some dealings with the Ziegler Family of Wyrfield before. They were... interesting."

"The Ziegler Family?

You’ve actually had dealings with them?"

Audrey Crowley was completely taken aback that Nina even knew about the Mystic Sect.

"Yes."

Nina didn’t mention what happened in Whittaker Town. The fewer people who knew about that incident, the better.

"Since you already know, I won’t go into detail," Audrey Crowley said, "but suffice it to say, there’s no way the Crowley Clan and the Lucas Family can coexist peacefully with the Mystic Sect."

Nina took the opportunity to say, "I’m also very curious about the Mystic Sect’s ultimate goal. If I get the chance, I’ll visit the Crowley patriarch in Stenmore."

Hearing Nina say this, Audrey Crowley was completely put at ease.

They set their departure for two days later.

Over the next two days, Nina briefed everyone and handed over her duties.

Ethan Chase was reluctant to see her go, but more than that, he was worried about her safety.

"You’ve found me a great helper. That kid, Zoraida, is incredibly talented, smart, and sensible.

It’s you I’m worried about. Be careful on the road."

The traps around Tomorrow Base had been fully restored, and for the past few days, he had been researching wooden mechanism traps that would be best-suited for the base.

Zoraida had been a great help to him and was already learning the basics of woodworking.

"Don’t worry, Chase. I’ll be back often," Nina said with a smile.

She wasn’t too worried. After all, she had the Teleportation Gate.

Of course, the person she was most worried about was Holly Morgan.

Although she’d had Holly Morgan absorb the Mystic Ice Core, and according to her teammate status in the system, Holly was close to advancing to the Intermediate rank.

But bringing Holly to City D Base, a place completely unfamiliar to her, didn’t seem wise.
