After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: I Heard You Haven’t Awakened a Superpower

Dawn Donovan stared in disbelief at the shattered door panel.

And at the person walking in.

"Are you okay, Nina?"

The fury on Ian Chandler’s face vanished the moment he saw Nina Jacobs.

"I’m fine. What could happen to me?"

Nina Jacobs also saw Daniel Hale, Leo Hale, and Chelsea Walsh outside the door.

’It looks like after I was taken, the Hales went to find Ian.’

"I’m glad you’re okay. If anyone had hurt you, I wouldn’t have let them get away with it. You’re my lifesaver."

Ian Chandler deliberately stressed the word "lifesaver."

Dawn Donovan’s expression turned ugly.

She hadn’t expected a routine interrogation to attract such a motley crew.

Now, she had no idea how to clean up this mess.

"Ian, look..."

Before Dawn Donovan could finish, the door panel that Leo Hale had just propped up fell over again.

"Quite a party in here, huh?"

Myra Lawson walked in with a smile.

"...Lawson? You’re here too."

Dawn Donovan could no longer muster a smile.

She never imagined Myra Lawson would come to the interrogation room.

"Yes, I was looking for Ian. There are some things in the warehouse that need moving."

Myra Lawson glanced around at everyone in the room, seemingly unsurprised.

"Nina Jacobs and Chester Pearson are here too?

Perfect. You can all come along."

Myra Lawson said.

"But..."

"What, is there a problem?"

Myra Lawson’s expression shifted slightly.

"No problem at all. Please, after you, Lawson."

Dawn Donovan said quickly.

Watching Nina Jacobs, who had arrived alone but was now leaving with a whole entourage, Dawn Donovan frowned slightly.

’I was only two days too slow. I can’t believe Nina Jacobs is already untouchable.’

’I need to report this to my superiors immediately.’

...

Nina Jacobs had intended to thank Myra Lawson for getting her out of that bind.

But it turned out Myra Lawson really did have something to discuss with her.

"I’m sorry, but I don’t plan on joining."

Myra Lawson was genuinely surprised by Nina Jacobs’s response.

Although they had only met once, she had been very impressed by Nina Jacobs’s performance yesterday.

Especially after hearing the full story of why Nina Jacobs had killed Keaton Sloan.

She felt Nina Jacobs had done the absolute right thing.

She wanted Nina Jacobs to join the rescue team.

"Right now, it’s called the rescue team, but that might not be the case in the future. The old social order has collapsed. If you join me, no one will dare to casually cause trouble for you again."

Myra Lawson believed she had made herself perfectly clear.

If Nina Jacobs had a problem, she would have her back.

But Nina Jacobs refused her.

’Does she have other plans?’

Nina Jacobs shook her head.

"I’m optimistic about the rescue team’s future, but I’m not a good fit for it."

She knew very well that she wasn’t suited for any established group.

She had already been planning to leave the shelter for a few days.

Not for any other reason, but simply to increase her own strength.

"Not a good fit?

But as a girl, wouldn’t it be better to have protection?"

Myra Lawson had thought Nina Jacobs would gladly accept her invitation.

"The old me used to think so too."

Nina Jacobs said with a bitter smile.

She used to think having a team meant having support.

But that wasn’t how it worked.

In the apocalypse, the only person you can rely on is yourself.

"It seems I was too forward.

No wonder Ian told me not to pressure you.

That kid probably guessed as much."

Myra Lawson chuckled helplessly.

"But for someone like you, being here would indeed be limiting.

Maybe one day you’ll be stronger than anyone else here."

Myra Lawson’s opinion of Nina Jacobs grew even higher.

She saw a bit of her younger self in Nina Jacobs.

"I just want to rely on myself more, go out to find more supplies, and improve my survival skills.

Besides, my mom is still here, about to have my little sister."

Nina Jacobs said with a smile, confident that Myra Lawson would understand her meaning.

Daniel Hale and Vera Coleman were in City D, so this place was her home base too.

"Right. Ian mentioned that to me, too.

You can rest assured. We’ve recovered a lot of medical equipment these past few days, and there are plenty of obstetricians around. You certainly don’t need to worry about the quality of medical care.

I’ll have someone arrange everything."

Myra Lawson said.

The two of them continued their pleasant conversation.
