It just depends on what you need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs was very serious about her business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, my system is about to level up.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Selling things here is also a way to gain Experience Points and upgrade the system.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bread? Instant noodles? Do you have things like compressed biscuits?\" the man asked tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t held out much hope, but to his surprise, the woman in front of him placed several five-packs of instant noodles and some bread directly on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she pulled out an entire case of compressed biscuits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really have them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else in the room looked at each other, their faces suddenly breaking into ecstatic grins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll take this whole case of compressed biscuits. Stone, get the Crystal Cores!\" the man decided instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people inside the sheet-metal shack all seemed to be from the same squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing someone outside trying to peek in curiously, a burly man standing by the entrance slammed the door shut with a BANG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One customer at a time. Wait until we’re done, then you can come in,\" the big man shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’One customer at a time?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs thought it was an excellent idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My previous guess was right, too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people passing through this road now all had some degree of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this sale alone, she sold a full five cases of compressed biscuits, over ten cases of instant noodles, and more than a hundred pounds of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, is this little shop always open?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squad’s leader was named Ethan Coleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was starting to regret trading for those supplies at exorbitant prices back at the shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prices at this little shop were actually reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the goods were brand new and clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs thought for a moment before replying, \"I won’t be here tomorrow, but I’ll probably be back the day after.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s great! You have to come back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the group was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ethan Coleman had traded all the Crystal Cores he had, he finally opened the door to the shack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs realized that trading supplies this way was indeed very safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Most importantly, no one else knows exactly how many supplies I’ve sold.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the little shop soon put up a new sign: \"One Customer at a Time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The justification was to protect customer privacy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from that first transaction, Nina Jacobs had also earned over 400 Experience Points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was equivalent to killing over 400 zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you guys really manage to buy something?\" a woman outside with her hair in a high topknot asked Ethan Coleman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it’s you guys. You’re usually afraid of nothing, so what’s there to be scared of now? Just go in and see for yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Ethan Coleman looked down on the people before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fern Squad was a Superpower Squad that only accepted women, and they had previously poached two female Superpower Users from his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why every time he saw their leader, Fern Spencer, he couldn’t resist making a few sarcastic remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, Fern. We’ll go take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ethan Coleman’s group had emerged safe and sound, Fern Spencer finally nodded and walked into the sheet-metal shack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs became a bit more enthusiastic when she saw who had come in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I recognize Fern Spencer. In my past life, the Fern Squad was quite famous in the City D Base.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s because the squad helped many exploited female Superpower Users.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But later, I heard the squad was forced to disband after its leader, Fern Spencer, died.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for how Fern Spencer died, the rumors at the time were varied and conflicting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some said she had offended a big shot at the base, while others claimed she was killed by a jealous teammate...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, we’d like to buy some food, and also some feminine hygiene products.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fern Spencer’s words broke Nina Jacobs out of her reverie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs nodded and gestured for them to close the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have all of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs knew what women needed most, so she directly brought out several cases of monthly feminine essentials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much are these?\" Fern Spencer asked eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had her female squad members stay put during their \"special time,\" it was still inconvenient for them to be anywhere without these supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it’s your first time buying from me, I’ll give you a discount. Ten Crystal Cores per pack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs’s price wasn’t high; it was much cheaper than a pack of instant noodles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because these items could only be sold to women, and there were few women to begin with in the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, she had tons of them in her storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll take all of them,\" Fern Spencer decided on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss Warner, do we have time to go back and get more Crystal Cores?\" The Space Superpower User behind Fern Spencer, Sharon Thorne, asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to rush. I’ll be back to open shop again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs noticed that the Fern Squad’s strength was nothing to scoff at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were even stronger than Ethan Coleman’s group from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a round of trading, all the empty space in the sheet-metal shack was piled high with supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right. Store them away, Sharon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fern Spencer was very satisfied after taking stock of the supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never met such a generous trader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire Warner had even given them some hygiene products for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fern Spencer had wanted to chat a bit more with Claire Warner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it seemed someone outside was getting impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fern Spencer pushed open the door, and her brow furrowed when she saw who was coming in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced worriedly at Claire Warner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Claire Warner was still sitting there calmly with a smile, as if she didn’t have a care in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heard you were out here selling supplies all by yourself, little lady?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who entered was carrying a long blade stained with black blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the men behind him didn’t look like people you’d want to mess with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you here to buy supplies?\" Nina Jacobs asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buy? Of course we’re here to buy. But we’d also like to ’buy’ you. A clean, slim little thing like you is a rare commodity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man reached out, trying to touch Nina Jacobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was met with Nina Jacobs’s cold smile; she didn’t seem to take them seriously at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the sounds of a fight and heavy impacts echoed from within the sheet-metal shack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, those guys are bad news,\" Sharon Thorne said, looking at the furious Fern Spencer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’d like to see who’s really the one you shouldn’t mess with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wallace! I’m telling you, this place is under my, Fern Spencer’s, protection! If you dare mess around...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Fern Spencer burst in, she was greeted by a scene of utter chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sophia Wallace and his men were on the floor, howling in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire Warner was sitting off to the side, completely unharmed, and even seemed a little surprised by her arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... They...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fern Spencer was completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t take on a job like this without the skills to back it up. But thank you for your kind intentions, anyway. This is for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs took out a small plastic bottle and tossed it to Fern Spencer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this?\" Fern Spencer asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It looks like setting spray?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can spray it on scrapes and bruises. It stops bleeding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Healing Potion that Nina Jacobs had repackaged into a spray bottle—a diluted version, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve accumulated a lot of Healing Potions from the system. I plan to dilute some of it to sell.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks. Well then, I guess I’ll help you take out the trash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fern Spencer called over two Strength Element Superpower Users from her squad, and they quickly threw the men on the ground outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「That evening.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs made it back smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began to prepare for the next day’s departure to Beldane Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used to have barbecues with my friends on Beldane Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Leo Hale’s persistent begging, Nina Jacobs finally agreed to take him along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That included Sherry Renner as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two, remember to stick close to me and Wayne Warner. Once we get there, you’re not to go anywhere,\" Nina Jacobs said.\u003C\u002Fp>",1423,"2026-05-29T03:44:18.636Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","2cd55335ae473b9cc66977bcb58a4e458034cef8d0421c190a8757b551f0035c","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-187","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-185",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-cover.jpg"]
