After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Omen

The moment Nina Jacobs accepted the box of Crystal Cores, the system sent a notification:

[Host has completed a supply trade. "The Doomsday Supplier" title triggered. Received 5000 System Experience Points.]

Just like before, the System Experience gained from trading Healing Potions was far greater than for any other supplies.

"So many people know about the Holy Water, yet no one can find its source," Nina Jacobs mused. "It seems the person providing it is no simple character."

They asked for supplies, but they also wanted Crystal Cores.

’Could they be trying to gain System Experience this way, too?’

Speaking of which, a look of confusion appeared in Mordecai Quinn’s eyes.

"That’s right. The identity of the person behind them is a secret; my people are having a hard time finding any clues. These guys probably aren’t just middlemen, either. Who knows how many hands it’s passed through."

"You’re definitely not the only one investigating. The other party must have made thorough preparations, so there’s no need to rush this," Nina Jacobs said.

Nine months into the apocalypse, if the other party also had special skills to hide their identity, it was unlikely an ordinary person could uncover them.

"Yes. As for you all, perhaps you could stay here and see what these people do next," Mordecai Quinn said.

But Nina Jacobs shook her head. "No. Even if we pursued them, we wouldn’t find anything."

The freezing weather was coming, and she planned to leave right away.

"I also heard some rumors earlier. It would be best if you prepared for them."

"What rumors?" Mordecai Quinn asked immediately.

"The weather’s been abnormal. There might be a major drop in temperature soon."

After Nina Jacobs finished speaking, disbelief was written all over Mordecai Quinn’s face.

’From scorching hot to extremely cold?’

That seemed hard to believe.

Nina Jacobs nodded. "You don’t have to believe me, but since someone brought it up, what if it does happen?"

"If anyone else said it, I definitely wouldn’t believe them, but since you’re the one saying it, I have to."

Mordecai Quinn knew Nina Jacobs wouldn’t say something like that without a reason.

Most importantly, Meridia Base was small and had almost no cold-weather supplies.

However, he did know of a few places in Veridia that had such supplies.

’Looks like it’s time to go collect them.’

Nina Jacobs left Meridia Base early the next morning, accompanied by Audrey Crowley, Silas Crowley, and the others.

Mornfell split the main road in two.

Here, they would part ways. Silas Crowley was reluctant to leave, but he knew it was inevitable.

"Miss Jacobs, thank you so much for everything. I hope we can meet again someday," Audrey Crowley said.

"Yes, we definitely will."

Nina Jacobs waved to the group.

From now on, it would just be her and Wayne Warner on the road—and Lexy, of course.

"Does anyone else feel like it’s a little cooler today?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

After bidding farewell to Nina Jacobs, Silas Crowley heard his younger cousin, Julian Crowley, speak.

"Must be your imagination. I’m about to die from the heat," Gemma Lucas breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she got in the car.

"No, the temperature has indeed dropped," said Julian Thorne, the programmer.

The watch on his wrist was already displaying the real-time temperature.

"It’s dropped three degrees compared to yesterday."

Julian Thorne started the car.

He was sensitive to data and remembered the daily temperatures from the past few days.

Silas Crowley’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

Ever since the apocalypse began, the daily temperature had only risen, never fallen.

’Could the rumor Nina Jacobs mentioned be coming true?’

At that moment, Nina Jacobs also keenly noticed the change in temperature.

Although it was still hot, the temperature had actually started to change the day they left Keldorn.
