After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Only She Has This Strength

On the way back, Myra Lawson told her about Adrian Paige’s identity.

Adrian Paige was someone who already held real power in the command center and was even in line to succeed Warren Rhodes.

Myra Lawson, thinking she didn’t know who Warren Rhodes was, explained it all in detail.

Still, Nina Jacobs was curious why such a powerful figure would come to City D Base.

"Because of the extreme cold."

When speaking of Adrian, Daniel Hale’s tone was full of admiration.

It turned out that before the apocalypse, Ian Chandler’s father, Heath Chandler, had been Adrian’s first instructor. The two were as close as master and apprentice and had stayed in touch ever since.

Apparently, Adrian had only come to visit after hearing that Heath Chandler was here.

Then, when the extreme cold hit, he simply stayed on, citing the need to provide operational support.

"Come to think of it, he was the one who found you," Daniel Hale said.

Adrian Paige was indeed conscientious and responsible in his work.

He was even the first to discover the potential for a zombie horde to form.

As an Intermediate Wind Element Superpower User, he patrolled the base’s perimeter every day, braving the severe cold without ever letting his guard down.

"I see."

Nina Jacobs understood after hearing the explanation.

’In my past life, Heath Chandler wasn’t at City D Base, so Adrian Paige never showed up.’

But just as Daniel Hale had predicted, Myra Lawson paid a personal visit to their courtyard after dinner.

Of course, Ian Chandler was with her.

Ian sat quietly to one side, not interrupting their conversation. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Myra first asked about how Nina had been these past few months, then gave a rough overview of the base’s current situation.

"I imagine you’ve already guessed why I was in such a hurry to find you tonight," she said with a wry smile. She felt a pang of guilt, as if she were swooping in to exploit Nina the moment she returned.

But looking at the entire base, only Nina had this kind of strength.

Nina Jacobs nodded. "When do we leave tomorrow?"

"Six in the morning. We’re on a tight schedule," Myra Lawson replied.

"No problem, but I plan on bringing some people with me," Nina said.

Holden Shaw and the others from next door had come to see her earlier, but they left, knowing she had just been reunited with her family.

"Bringing your team members? No problem. We’d be more than happy to have them."

Seeing Nina agree so readily, Myra waved to Ian.

Ian brought over all the Crystal Cores the base owed Nina. Crates upon crates of them filled the entire tea room.

"Nina, Shirley Lucas has more. He said he’d hold onto them for you and give them to you personally when you got back," Ian said.

"Is he doing okay?" Nina asked.

Shirley Lucas was the owner of the "Infinite Space" Superpower. City D Base was still keeping this a secret for him to ensure his safety.

"He’s doing great. The Weapons Research Institute is temporarily relocating to the base, and he’s been helping with the move these past few days," Ian answered earnestly.

It had been a long time since he’d had a proper conversation with Nina.

But he also knew Nina needed to rest, so he left early with Myra.

Before resting, Nina didn’t forget about Treasure and Lexy.

Treasure the Golden Retriever’s dog bed had been moved into a large, separate room behind the living room. It was warm and clean inside.

And Lexy, having just arrived, had taken a liking to the place as well. When Nina came in, she found Lexy had shamelessly taken over the warm dog bed.

As a thank-you, it had even filled Treasure’s food bowls with water.

Treasure, meanwhile, looked at Nina with a mournful expression.

Nina didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Treasure, long time no see."

Nina ruffled Treasure’s smooth fur, then took out a few cans of the dog food it used to love.
