After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518: Chapter 518: A New Mission from Headquarters

"It’s so cold..."

Unlike other Superpower Users, Nia’s ability to withstand the cold was about the same as an ordinary person’s.

The car windows were already covered in a thick layer of ice. Fortunately, Nina Jacobs had found her several layers of clothing and some heat packs, and she quickly bundled herself up like a dumpling.

Nina Jacobs tried using her Fire Element Superpower to create a source of heat.

Combined with the car’s heater, Lexy was finally willing to emerge.

MEOW.

Lexy also snuggled up to Nina Jacobs; it seemed warmer that way.

Nina Jacobs wiped a clear spot on the window and looked outside.

These past few days, Vera Coleman had been giving her daily updates on the situation at the base.

Thanks to their preparations, most of the buildings in City D Base were now equipped with central water heating.

The fuel included coal, kerosene, scrap materials, and even zombie corpses.

The base had even established a special department for purchasing zombie corpses. Survivors could now collect zombie bodies and exchange them for supplies or Crystal Cores.

The members of "Stella," who used to go out every day, had switched to sparring with their Superpowers indoors or in the courtyards for the past few days.

It was as if all activity at the base had hit the pause button.

Even the spies who prowled the base daily had quieted down.

However, the Drakonian Command Headquarters had issued a new directive: to select outstanding Superpower Users.

Several top Superpower Users were to be chosen from each base.

This group of Superpower Users would be trained using the full might of the nation and would be granted certain privileges in the future...

This was all Vera Coleman knew for now.

Nina Jacobs, however, knew that Drakonia was likely preparing for the Power Rankings.

In her past life, Drakonia had done the same, ultimately selecting the ten best from among the chosen Superpower Users after ten months.

The privileges these ten held were immense; they could even overrule the authority of any Base Commander.

If one of them was in trouble, they would receive aid from all quarters.

In her last life, her group hadn’t paid it much mind at first, instead focusing all their energy on gathering supplies.

When the Power Rankings were released, Liam Grant and the others were incredibly envious of those privileges.

After all, while being a Base Commander was a respected position, the privilege of being able to overrule one was something everyone coveted.

A glint of amusement appeared in Nina Jacobs’s eyes at the thought.

She was sure that this time around, Liam Grant and his people wouldn’t let this opportunity slip by.

But with the extreme cold’s arrival, Liam Grant’s precognitive dream had been proven true. No doubt all sorts of unsavory characters would soon flock to his side...

The temperature inside the armored vehicle gradually became comfortable, and by now, they were a good distance from Riventon Base.

The vehicles that had been ahead of them were long gone.

"Why do you think the people from the organization came here?

Two of them were the ones who were on guard duty back in Quelldra County."

The scenery outside no longer held Nia’s interest, so she struck up a conversation with Nina Jacobs.

Nina Jacobs smiled. "If it were you, who do you think would be most likely to have taken that granary?"

Nia thought for a moment. "There used to be tens of thousands of zombies in Quelldra County, plus two Intermediate Zombies. A regular survivor would never have the nerve...

And the closest base is Riventon Base... So they came here for the supplies in the granary?!"

"That’s right. Your organization planted moles in every base a long time ago,

like that Chloe Ainsworth you mentioned. They must be coordinating with someone on the inside."

Nina Jacobs said.

"But... you were after those supplies too, weren’t you?

Aren’t you going to fight for them?"

Nia had wondered why Nina Jacobs had shown up in those ruins in the first place.

Nina Jacobs wasn’t interested in her, so the only other possibility was the supplies.

"Maybe Zoey Rhodes and his people already got the supplies, and that’s why they left the base."

The Zoey Rhodes Nia was talking about was a member of the organization; she remembered him being a fairly capable Fire Element Superpower User.
