After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: How Many Did She Save?

She wasn’t sure if she could save Wayne Warner.

Because one of the bullets was still lodged in the upper back of his head.

Nina Jacobs was no doctor. She had heard stories of people surviving a bullet to the head, but besides his head, Wayne Warner had been shot in many other places.

It was only because his Strength Element Superpower had made his skin hard enough at that moment to provide some temporary protection.

Seeing that one bottle of Healing Potion had no effect, Nina Jacobs poured another one down his throat...

By the time she had finished killing all the remaining zombies in the hall, Wayne Warner still hadn’t woken up.

’So he died after all?’

Nina Jacobs sighed.

She searched the manor inside and out but found no other living people, though there were plenty of supplies.

Nina Jacobs put all the supplies into her storage space.

Finally, she set a large fire, intending to burn away all the filth.

The roaring flames quickly blazed to life.

Nina Jacobs walked down the hillside and opened her car door, but when she turned back, she saw what looked like a human figure in the light of the fire.

The figure was swaying unsteadily, but it didn’t look like a zombie.

’Is that Wayne Warner?’

Wayne Warner’s build was so tall and sturdy that even from a great distance, Nina Jacobs could tell it was him.

"Th... thank you."

That was the first thing Wayne Warner said when he reached Nina Jacobs.

"You’re welcome."

Nina Jacobs looked at Wayne Warner and noticed that his gaze seemed a little strange.

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

"Thank you."

"..."

Nina Jacobs watched him.

’Is he thanking me for killing Seth Quinn and his men?’

’But I failed to save his sister, Jade, just now.’

"Do you remember what just happened?

Or what your name is?"

Unwilling to give up, Nina Jacobs pressed on.

"Thank you."

It seemed those two words were all he could say in response.

’Does he only remember how to say thank you?’

"It’s better if you’ve forgotten."

Nina Jacobs didn’t dwell on it.

Anyone who saw their sister murdered like that would be tormented by regret for the rest of their life.

’I wonder if Wayne Warner will ever remember what happened.’

All Nina Jacobs knew was that right now, Wayne Warner’s face was completely blank.

There was no pain or sorrow.

"Should I take you to the shelter?"

Leaving Wayne Warner alone in the middle of nowhere wasn’t an option.

Besides, it was already afternoon.

"Thank you."

Wayne Warner replied.

"..."

Nina Jacobs had Wayne Warner sit in the back of the car while she pulled up the system map that only she could see.

Seeing the remaining distance and travel time, Nina Jacobs breathed a sigh of relief.

They could make it back to the shelter before dark.

...

Vera Coleman had been on edge all afternoon.

Her daughter, Nina Jacobs, still hadn’t returned.

Although Daniel Hale and the others had tried to comfort her, she still had a bad feeling.

The great weight on her heart finally lifted when Ian Chandler had someone deliver a message that Nina Jacobs was back.

"Why did she go to the medical bay? Is Nina injured?"

As soon as Daniel Hale heard Nina Jacobs had gone to the medical bay, he rushed over.

"Miss Jacobs isn’t injured,

a friend she brought back is."

Sean Caldwell quickly explained.

"Uncle Hale."

Daniel Hale was relieved to see Nina Jacobs safe and sound.

"And this is..."

He also noticed Wayne Warner standing next to Nina Jacobs.

Wayne Warner was so huge that he was impossible to miss standing beside her.

"His name is Wayne Warner. Something happened on the road, and he was injured, so I brought him back with me."
