What are you doing here? Where are your parents?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs glanced around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room wasn’t large, and there didn’t seem to be anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My parents... They... they’re both dead...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she couldn’t hold it in any longer, Melanie Lawson suddenly threw her arms around Nina Jacobs and burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Dead?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Was it because of the zombies?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs hadn’t expected this. She gently hugged Melanie, who only cried harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My mom and dad... were killed by my uncle. SOB... I don’t have parents anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie only dared to cry silently. Nina Jacobs froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her uncle?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be Ivan Lawson?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell me what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina asked only after Melanie had cried for a while longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dad was taking us to find a shelter. On the way, we ran into Uncle Ivan. My mom asked him why he’d treated me like that before, and... and he pushed her under a car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dad jumped down to save her...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie sobbed as she spoke, her words broken and halting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nina Jacobs understood everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her past life, Ivan Lawson had claimed his brother and sister-in-law pushed him out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this life, the reborn Ivan Lawson had personally pushed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving only Melanie Lawson behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They said... they said I have a Superpower, so they wouldn’t let Uncle Ivan kill me.

SOB SOB...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie’s eyes were filled with sorrow and hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time Nina had ever seen such hatred on the face of a child so young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t cry. I’m still here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any words of comfort felt pale and powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just saved me, didn’t you? You’ve already done so well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs explained her own situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Melanie, she likely wouldn’t have been able to escape today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saved you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie finally stopped crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. You wait here. How about I find a way to get you out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Melanie Lawson shook her head. \"I’m not leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to stay here?\" Nina asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to avenge my parents. I’m going to kill that man with my own hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her small body was filled with stubbornness, and her words were resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs tried to persuade her, but Melanie was exceptionally insistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also learned that Ivan Lawson wasn’t at the Quinn Group right now. He had been sent to City A.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only wipe away the girl’s tears and say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Then kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I need to make a promise with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A promise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie looked at Nina, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As much as she wanted to stay by Nina’s side, she couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. When you finally get your revenge, you have to come find me. I’ll be waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood the desire for revenge all too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she also worried that Melanie would lose the will to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this wasn’t the kind of pressure an ordinary child could bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. I’ll come find you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie Lawson held out her pinky, and she and Nina Jacobs made a promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you stay with me for a little while?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried that Nina was about to leave, Melanie couldn’t help but make the request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. You protected me, after all. Right, I also have a gift for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs’s Invisibility Potion wouldn’t be usable again for another three hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out one of the \"foldable daggers\" the system had previously gifted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foldable dagger was only the length of a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a keychain charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by pressing a hidden button on the bottom, it would instantly extend into a sharp dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more refined than an ordinary dagger, yet it could cut through iron like butter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So cool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I trust you can protect yourself, but you still have to be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The size of the foldable dagger was perfect for Melanie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it could be easily hidden so no one would find it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving one to Melanie Lawson, she still had one left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. By the way, is Chelsea Walsh with you? And Walsh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Nina reminded Melanie of the old days, and she couldn’t help but chat a little more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re all at the shelter. You’ll definitely be able to see them again someday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your friend... she’s probably being held at the incinerator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The incinerator?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina had never heard of such a place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the information from Shirley Lucas hadn’t mentioned it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That old woman needs frequent blood transfusions. I’ve seen some people... they’re drained of all their blood and then sent to the incinerator with the trash to be burned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie lay beside Nina, her body trembling with fear as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman Melanie was talking about must have been Faye Quinn on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could tell Faye Quinn was seriously ill, but she hadn’t realized that besides a Healer, she also needed blood transfusions to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs hugged Melanie, patting her back gently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be afraid. When you get to the base in the future, the people who do things like this will definitely be punished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A new... base?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Melanie spoke, she gradually started to get drowsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she really didn’t want to sleep, she soon fell into a deep slumber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The next morning.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melanie Lawson woke from a peaceful sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the spot beside her was empty; Nina Jacobs was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was starting to think last night was all a dream...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down and saw a foldable dagger on a thin cord hanging around her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under her pillow was a whole box of chocolates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exactly the same kind Nina had given her before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even her school bag had been filled with a stack of new, pink underwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears started to fall again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she touched the charm on her chest, her expression became resolute once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs went to the new recruit training class as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shirley Lucas was not there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She guessed it was because Shirley had already passed the new recruit training period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, after the class ended, she received a message from Shirley Lucas on her communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just about to ask you out for coffee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirley Lucas was surprised to find that Nina Jacobs was living in a single dorm room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you need something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dorm, Nina Jacobs handed Shirley two cans of coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. Wayne Warner is most likely being held at the incinerator, but outsiders aren’t allowed in or out of there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirley Lucas said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had come to tell her about Wayne’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even knowing where Wayne was, breaking in wouldn’t be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. When are you planning to leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina asked after a moment of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m taking the Superpower test in the next couple of days. Once I pass, they should send me out on a mission. I’ll probably leave then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirley Lucas replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to their previous location, the Quinn Group had an additional Superpower test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superpower Users with stronger abilities would be designated as Superior Superpower Users and become priority development targets for The Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Priority development targets?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right. For example, you get protection during missions, you can receive treatment from a Healer if you’re injured, and you get a larger share of points after completing a mission, things like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirley Lucas replied.\u003C\u002Fp>",1322,"2026-05-29T03:44:18.636Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","6d124362d994885e342959f27c3355e853ac66f642a86162ac12b7bab18b91c9","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-128","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-126",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-cover.jpg"]
