Help me put some of this away for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs felt rather resigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having Yvonne Willow go into the base, unload the supplies, and come back out would waste too much time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she had just sent Chase Gallagher to get Ian Chandler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem. Looks like you had some good luck today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Chandler hopped right onto the truck and started putting the supplies away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand why Nina Jacobs wanted him to leave some of the supplies on the truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His space was large enough to hold the entire truck, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t press the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put away exactly as much as Nina Jacobs told him to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still think it’d be better to do this somewhere more secluded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>so many people are watching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warren Ramsey couldn’t help but comment from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stares from the surrounding crowd made him uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wayne Abbott clapped him on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t figure it out either, but I’m sure she has her reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s not like the rest of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they needed to do now was adapt to Nina Jacobs’ pace and methods as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warren Ramsey felt his concern was justified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, in the distance, he could already see Hugo Crawford running out of the base with a group of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Hugo Crawford saw the truck, his brow creased into a deep frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina Jacobs, what’s the meaning of this? We sent this truck out this morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hugo Crawford couldn’t believe it. ’Someone is actually taking my supplies right out in the open?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We found it on the road.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs’s tone was perfectly flat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Found it on the road...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hugo Crawford and the men behind him never imagined Nina Jacobs would give such an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Crawford, by the time we got there, only zombies were left,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To keep this truck of supplies from going to waste, we had to kill a ton of them. It took a lot of effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase Gallagher deliberately explained in a loud voice from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible! How could that many people all be dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must have killed them for the supplies!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hugo Crawford finally lost his temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Nina Jacobs must have done this on purpose!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hugo Crawford, watch your mouth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any idea how many zombies were there? All sorts of things can happen on the road. You can’t just make wild accusations like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Hugo Crawford’s hostile tone, Wayne Abbott couldn’t help but retort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the crowd that had gathered, Hugo Crawford sneered. \"Unexpected situations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We just traveled that road yesterday. There couldn’t have been a massive horde of zombies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I say you just wanted to seize the supplies for yourselves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That road had been cleared by a rescue team a few days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the route was remote. Even if some zombies appeared, Rafferty Miller and his men could have handled them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Ian Chandler emerged from the truck and nodded at Nina Jacobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs paid Hugo Crawford no further mind, instead walking up and opening the truck’s cargo doors herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A considerable amount of supplies remained inside the truck. Seeing the stacks of boxes, many in the crowd cast greedy glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Nina Jacobs announced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As everyone knows, it isn’t easy to get supplies these days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supplies on the road can easily get contaminated or go to waste. Today, our team, Stella, did indeed snatch this truck of supplies from the jaws of zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For our team’s development, we’ve only kept a portion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stella is willing to distribute the remaining supplies to all the teams present, free of charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We only hope that every last bit of these supplies can be put to good use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Nina Jacobs finished speaking, an uproar went through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never heard of a team called \"Stella.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their willingness to share supplies instantly won them a great deal of goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, sharing supplies was something most of them couldn’t bring themselves to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crawford, they have a point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, they killed the zombies and earned these supplies through their own skill. Isn’t that perfectly reasonable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people who were already on bad terms with the Crawford Army saw their chance and chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, some people just hoard their supplies. Who knows how many people had to die for them to get what they have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re so blatant about robbing people and seizing supplies. It serves them right to lose some for once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the crowd murmured amongst themselves, Nina Jacobs had already instructed Leo Hale and the others to unload the remaining supplies from the truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, each team may send one representative here to claim supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team size doesn’t matter, but captains have priority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were boxes of sliced bread, crackers, and similar items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Nina Jacobs was actually going through with it, Hugo Crawford rushed forward to stop them. \"No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are the Crawford Army’s supplies! What gives you the right to give my things away?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What right? The right that comes from us fighting for these supplies ourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean, you fought for them? You stole them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hugo Crawford refused to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make way, make way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale brought out a laptop. He placed it on a supply crate in the center of the pile and played a video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a video of Nina Jacobs and her team fighting zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the video’s perspective, you could see a screen swarming with zombies, and in the distance, a truck surrounded by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truck in the video was this exact one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hugo Crawford was stunned speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that many zombies, Rafferty Miller and his few dozen men couldn’t possibly have survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Crawford! Still don’t believe us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale set the video to play on a loop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present crowded closer to get a clear look. They were utterly shocked, especially after seeing the people from Stella daring to face so many zombies by themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the fight went out of Hugo Crawford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thought of the crowd dividing up *his* supplies still sent a pang through his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re the Veridian Team. I’m the captain, Leander Lynch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rather gaunt, square-faced man walked up to Nina Jacobs and introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though this was the first they had ever heard of \"Stella.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, quite a few teams were already thinking of building a relationship with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after seeing that short video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teams that were already on bad terms with the Crawford Army saw this and also gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re all from the same base. We hope you’ll all look out for Stella in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs welcomed them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Befriending so many teams at once and leaving a good impression made the cost of the supplies more than worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she had just scavenged the supplies anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina, Hugo Crawford left, but you should still be extra careful for the next few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Chandler reminded her quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d heard about what happened in front of Nina Jacobs’s house that morning. The culprit still hadn’t been caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suspected the incident was targeted at either Nina Jacobs or Daniel Hale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since his grandfather, Justin Lawson, remained tight-lipped about it, he couldn’t ask too many questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Ian Chandler’s warning, she knew Hugo Crawford would definitely make a move soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after what happened with Fern Spencer and Caleb Carter taking down the mobile camp.\u003C\u002Fp>",1368,"2026-05-29T03:44:18.637Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","557b39ad31dbdb3795002df719fbca0a4c96c9e923d7d3507468a629f96bf617","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-252","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-50",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-cover.jpg"]
