After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Things That Matter

Ian Chandler’s gaze cooled significantly when he saw Amelia Vance.

"Nina, it’s best to talk to people like him as little as possible," Ian said.

People like him? Nina Jacobs still had no idea why Amelia Vance was in City D Base to begin with.

"He wants to buy up the base’s Mystic Ice Cores," Ian whispered in her ear.

That explained it. Nina immediately understood. The news about City D Base having Mystic Ice Cores had been causing a massive uproar even before the extreme cold hit. Amelia Vance was a businessman, so he had likely sniffed out a lucrative opportunity. If he could become a supplier of Mystic Ice Cores, he would probably be able to throw his weight around among Superpower Users worldwide.

"Miss Jacobs is here too. What a coincidence. I wonder if you two are free tonight? Allow Mr. Vance to host a dinner so I can properly meet two of City D’s outstanding heroes," Amelia Vance said, looking at Nina.

"You’re too kind, Mr. Vance, but I have other plans later, so I won’t be able to join you." Nina had no interest in him. She had heard that he had sent people to the Stellarys Team over the past few days, but Chase Gallagher had turned them all away. He was most likely still worried about that photo.

"If tonight doesn’t work, then tomorrow night. I can wait, as long as Miss Jacobs is willing to grace me with her presence." Amelia Vance wasn’t angry, choosing to press the matter persistently.

Just then, a slightly displeased voice sounded from the side. "Amelia Vance, this isn’t a place you should be."

Adrian Paige seemed to have just returned from the outside, his body still carrying the biting chill of the extreme cold.

Amelia Vance was clearly a bit intimidated. He slowly backed away, waving his hand at the group. "Alright, it seems I won’t be able to treat Miss Jacobs today. Next time, then. Next time..."

Adrian had come in with Myra Lawson. Seeing Nina and her son, Ian, Myra immediately walked over with a happy smile. Nina then learned that the reason Myra and Adrian had gone out was because someone had been sabotaging the ice walls along several waterways.

Those were the ice walls that they, along with the rescue team members, had formed a few days ago when Nina was melting the river. It was precisely those ice walls that kept out the zombies wandering in from all directions.

"I don’t know who is damaging the ice walls, but if they aren’t repaired in time, our efforts from the past few days might all go down the drain," Myra said with a heavy expression.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t catch the culprits. For now, they could only patrol the various waterways every day and immediately patch up any anomalies they found.

"If the ice walls are destroyed, it will easily trigger a zombie horde," Nina said after hearing this. "Could that be their goal?"

"That’s what we suspect as well, but we don’t have a single clue at the moment." Adrian’s brows were furrowed into a tight knot.

This reminded Nina of what she had found out using the Truth-telling Talisman back in Tomorrow Base. The heavy losses that Oakhaven Base suffered during their zombie horde had also been secretly orchestrated by Veridians. Could City D Base be facing the same thing? Unfortunately, she currently had no way to explain this to anyone.

"For now, we can only take it one step at a time. Wherever there’s a problem, we’ll go there, until we fish these people out," Myra said.

"Nina, didn’t you just say you had something to bother me with later?" Ian blinked, looking entirely eager to be "bothered."

At this moment, Adrian was tasting the milk tea and pastries Nina had brought into the lounge. Nina hadn’t planned on hiding it from the others, so she said, "Yes, I’d like you to help me check the base’s entry and exit logs."

Every survivor had a record whenever they entered or left the base. These records were usually kept at the base for three months. However, they weren’t something just anyone could access, which was why she originally wanted Ian to help her pull them up.

"Why are you looking into that, Nina?" Ian asked curiously.

Seeing Myra and Adrian look over as well, Nina explained, "There’s something I’ve been rather concerned about. It’s regarding the base’s Psionics Unit, Soul Slayer, from a few days ago."
