I’ll definitely get you back safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheila Rhodes nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that Nina Jacobs noticed Chase Gallagher wasn’t there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He went out with Holden Shaw. Said they were going to look around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yvonne Willow was taking inventory of the supplies in her space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had discovered that even in the shelter, you had to acquire your own supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs nodded and gave the group a brief rundown of the situation at the shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all can spend the next few days getting ready. We’ll be going to the base in a few days, and you’ll need points cards and Crystal Cores there, so you can go register for your cards first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it. We can finally get a good night’s sleep tonight. And thank you for everything during this time, Nina Jacobs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pascal Paige was still buzzing with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling was no less than being snatched from the jaws of death. After all, she had walked step by step from a hellish place to get here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re welcome. Actually, there’s something I need your help with,\" Nina Jacobs said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t mentioned this to anyone yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Surgery?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Pascal Paige learned about Nina Jacobs’s mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more shocking was that Nina Jacobs was going to have a little sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the apocalypse, after all. The only thing that lingered around them every day was death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no new life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Nina Jacobs’s mother was going to have a child at a time like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. Things that were medically impossible before... might be possible now. I want you to use your healing technique to heal my mom’s incision immediately after her surgery,\" Nina Jacobs said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In my past life, a small number of new lives were also born a few years into the apocalypse. With the help of Advanced Healers and modern medicine, most expectant mothers who could afford it chose to have C-sections. After all, the incision could be healed right after the operation.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs had the system’s Healing Potions she could use on Vera Coleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were too many prying eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had Pascal Paige’s healing technique as a cover, it would seem much more plausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pascal Paige immediately felt the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Nina Jacobs’s mother; she couldn’t afford a single mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The memory of her helplessness when trying to save Walsh made Pascal Paige extremely worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry too much. I’ll hire another Healer when the time comes,\" Nina Jacobs said reassuringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The next day.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shelter’s medical bay, a new, unfamiliar Healer had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Pascal Paige. I’m a temporary Healer,\" Pascal Paige introduced herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had learned from Chase Gallagher that the shelter allowed Healing Element Superpower Users to earn extra money in the medical bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were called temporary Healers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medical bay had too many injured people every day, and there weren’t enough Healers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you could heal the patients, you’d even receive Points from the base as a reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she had come first thing in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to use this time to strengthen her Healing Element Superpower in preparation for Nina Jacobs’s mother giving birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your name is fun! I’m Josie Joyce. We’ve been really short on Healers lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Josie Joyce’s eyes were immediately drawn to Pascal Paige’s pink hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a commotion erupted outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Juliana Sinclair threw open the door and shouted, \"Josie! Get all the Healers over here! Someone’s been stabbed with a sharp weapon and is seriously injured!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stabbed again? How many does that make?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Josie Joyce didn’t have time to think, immediately rushing over with all the Healers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pascal Paige saw a woman who was a bloody mess, her head in particular showing multiple injuries from a blunt object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a second thought, she quickly began treating the woman as Juliana Sinclair instructed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Meanwhile.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs was out killing zombies with Leo Hale, Wayne Warner, and Sherry Renner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was free today, which was the perfect opportunity to help them train their Superpowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also in response to a call to action from the new base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area they chose was around the main passage between the shelter and the new base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were in a desolate patch of woods by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale was testing the effects of his Superpower after absorbing the Mystic Ice Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherry Renner was doing the same; she discovered that her Ice Spikes were far deadlier than her Water Needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs also found out that Chelsea Walsh had actually gotten into the new base’s Weapons Research Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Weapons Research Institute, as its name suggested, was the place where weapons were produced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She studied chemical engineering, so her major was a perfect fit. Plus, her Thunder Element Superpower is really convenient for demolitions, so my dad recommended her for the position,\" Leo Hale said as he finished off a zombie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was basically a stable job for life, and Chelsea Walsh herself loved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder I haven’t seen her. So she’s already at the new base.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs was happy for Chelsea Walsh when she heard the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t you make a lot of new friends? Aren’t they coming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a Wood Element variant zombie, Leo Hale formed a Gold Blade and severed its Wood Element Vines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wayne Warner and Sherry Renner were also off to the side, each killing their own zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Nina Jacobs stood by, instructing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They need to get familiar with the environment first. Speaking of which, I ran into a Gold Element Superpower User a few days ago. He was a bit weak, but he had a pretty wide variety of Skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs described Frank Lucas’s Skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also included the Sky-Filling Gold Needles from the Gold Element boy she had met before in Hawthorne Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brilliant! I’ll give it a try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale’s expression lit up as he listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While guiding the two of them in their practice, Nina Jacobs also noticed that the traffic on the main road not far away seemed quite heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They say you can use Points to enter a lottery for dorm rooms. A lot of teams want to go draw for one early. Those people are probably all heading to the new base for the lottery,\" Sherry Renner explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already had an official position, so she was assigned a dorm, but Nina Jacobs had also told her she could live with her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. So most of the people passing through here now are pretty powerful,\" Nina Jacobs said thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「On a hot afternoon.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the main road to the new base, a dilapidated sheet-metal shack had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shack looked like a newsstand that had been in use for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason it caught the attention of passersby was a piece of scrap cardboard hanging on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two large words were scrawled crookedly on the cardboard: General Store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A general store? Who would sell things in a place like this? It’s probably a trap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, human nature was complex, and passersby were extra vigilant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking the three of them back to the shelter, Nina Jacobs had made an excuse to come out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had thought setting up a roadside stall would be an instant hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to her surprise, she waited and waited in the safe house disguised as a sheet-metal shack, but no one dared to come in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried hanging up a handwritten price list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the two words \"General Store,\" the items on the price list were also written with her left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting a little longer, someone finally came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really selling supplies here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who entered was a burly man, shirtless and holding a long saber, his face filled with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after seeing that there was only one woman inside the shack, he lowered his guard a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am. Trading for Crystal Cores. What do you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs, wearing Claire Warner’s face, wasn’t the least bit worried about being recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man then walked to the doorway and said to the people outside,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks safe. Come on in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, it’s actually pretty cool in here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another man came in and looked over the shack’s interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the sheet-metal shack were only two or three tables and a few stools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman with gentle features was sitting at one of the tables. She appeared to be the owner of this little store.\u003C\u002Fp>",1463,"2026-05-29T03:44:18.636Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","8bf048273e4a2149486cbfbbaee90a4b62e60aaba96894a10d1a9f0bc587e4da","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-186","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-184",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-cover.jpg"]
