She couldn’t help but grab one and say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That old way of doing business is over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In my past life, I didn’t know much about the leader of Falken Base, only that rumors said he wasn’t very capable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other group was taking a long time to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson even suspected they might have changed their route and weren’t coming at all, until an hour later, a group finally appeared in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, that road is clear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holt Tate stood at a high vantage point and took a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had only cleared the route up to Sunbeam Solar Solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The road ahead was still completely blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the people from Falken had cleared the originally blocked section of the road from the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder they were so slow. It’s a lot closer to get here from Falken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the group’s destination was Sunbeam Solar Solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they got out of their vehicles and saw that people were already here, the expressions on the faces of several of the young people turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson also noticed that only these few young people weren’t wearing uniforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They probably weren’t from the Falken Base rescue team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them, a young woman in a peach-pink tracksuit, asked in a rude tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"City D’s Sixth Rescue Squad. We’re here to collect supplies from a City D factory. Any problem with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did you get here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irene Palmer’s expression darkened as she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, two men wearing the same uniforms stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Percival Miller, Captain of the Falken Rescue Team. This is Vice-Captain Wyatt Vance. A pleasure to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Percival Miller spoke, the atmosphere instantly became much more amicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it’s Captain Miller. It must have been tough working in this heat. Why don’t you and your men come in and rest for a bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson could tell that the rescue team’s captain and the young people from before didn’t seem to get along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival Miller and his men gladly accepted Chester Pearson’s invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson generously offered them several cases of drinks from the small store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group Percival Miller had brought with him looked completely exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Miller, aren’t you suspicious of them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Irene Palmer walked into the middle of the group and asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this about? Suspicious of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weren’t you the ones who took the supplies from the Eden Canning Factory? I’ve heard that wherever your City D rescue teams go, not a single scrap of supplies is left behind. The canning factory is so close to here, you must have been the ones who took it all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Irene Palmer spoke, the angrier she became. Beside her, Darian Coleman and the others also glared at Chester Pearson’s group with a look of shared animosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Palmer, that’s a rather rude way to speak. Even if Captain Pearson and his team did clear out the canning factory, it would be perfectly reasonable. Eden is a local City D enterprise to begin with. Besides, we don’t believe Captain Pearson was responsible for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Wyatt Vance recounted what had happened earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson finally understood. ’This woman is blaming us for taking the supplies.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You saw when you got here. If we had a way to bypass the zombies, would there be so many zombie corpses out front?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson found it laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t this a case of the thief crying ’thief’?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale chimed in from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, we don’t know who the real thief is yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irene Palmer was fuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival Miller finally lost his patience. \"Irene Palmer, watch your conduct! If you continue to be this insolent, take your people and leave immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival Miller was a retired soldier, after all, and the deadly aura he had developed from killing zombies in the apocalypse instantly intimidated Irene Palmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs hadn’t expected that the girl, Irene Palmer, would actually start crying on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, aside from her few companions who gathered around to console her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no one else paid her any mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson didn’t feel awkward at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ve seen this sort of thing many times. This Irene Palmer must have connections with the higher-ups.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve been clearing these twenty-plus kilometers for four or five days. I didn’t expect you to have already cleared the entire line. This way, our two bases can finally travel between each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival Miller was astonished to hear that Chester Pearson and his team had cleared nearly 80 kilometers of road in just 6 days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We had no choice. It’s the mission. Everyone wanted to bring the solar panels back to power the base as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re even going to take the solar panels from here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irene Palmer became even more agitated after hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How are we supposed to sell the solar equipment to City D Base at a high price now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The canning factory was already cleared out... We’ve wasted these past five days for nothing!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Palmer, Falken Base doesn’t lack solar panels to begin with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wyatt Vance reminded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They never understood why the higher-ups had sent them on this kind of mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than the canning factory, the supplies in this industrial park weren’t essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you all stupid? Forget it. I’m not sticking around with a bunch of idiots. We’re leaving. Percival Miller, you just wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Percival Miller was about to blow up again, Irene Palmer decisively left with her people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The road is clear anyway.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miller, the Base Commander told us to protect her. Is it really a good idea to just let them leave like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their retreating figures, a middle-aged man beside Percival Miller reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let her go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival Miller said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was about time for them to head back anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve finished loading up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Ian Chandler emerged from the factory building with a group of Space Superpower Users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he realize there was another group of people outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you guys talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Chandler asked Nina Jacobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing much. Just complimenting our rescue team on how good we are at collecting supplies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had no idea our City D rescue team was so famous, HAHAHA.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson laughed and introduced Percival Miller’s group to Ian Chandler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Nina Jacobs was right.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That girl, Irene Palmer, had just said that wherever the City D rescue teams go, not a single scrap of supplies is left behind.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What was that, if not a compliment?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he felt it was a bit of a shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supplies at the canning factory up ahead had already been completely taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they had arrived one step too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, besides that canning factory, there wasn’t much worth collecting further on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they had no intention of touching the supplies within Falken’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival Miller, Wyatt Vance, and the others were also quite shocked after learning about the City D Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>City D actually had so many survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Falken Base, by contrast, had fewer than 20,000 survivors at present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you have the chance, you must come visit us at the City D Base. We can drink and chat to our hearts’ content. We won’t keep you any longer today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chester Pearson and Percival Miller’s group had a great conversation. When Miller heard that many of his old comrades-in-arms and juniors were at the City D Base, he grew even more emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely, definitely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival Miller was just about to leave when he noticed Wyatt Vance had a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something’s not right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wyatt Vance said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Spiritual Element Superpower User. Ever since Irene Palmer and her group left, he had been intentionally keeping an eye on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They later moved beyond the range of his perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not long after, he sensed several people moving rapidly back in their direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be Irene Palmer and her group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percival Miller asked with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For them to come back now, they must have run into danger.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not sure. There are three fewer people. And I can’t sense any zombies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wyatt Vance replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs broke out in a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Thankfully, I absorbed the Mystic Ice Core and can’t be detected by Spiritual Element Superpowers. Otherwise, I would have been exposed back at the canning factory.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1430,"2026-05-29T03:44:18.636Z","2026-06-01T04:29:07.188Z",1,"novelbin.me","5220010ac7d64f38da5634d3d52db0ccd8a60045f2d522de2aa5ec3001f26e4e","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-228","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-226",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-cover.jpg"]
