But it can’t be for anything good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the activity camp had already been completely wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The base had now issued a new rule: no one was allowed to establish unauthorized groups outside the base. Any found would be immediately shut down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a door closing came from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sherry Renner returned and saw Nina Jacobs and Ian Chandler were both there, she couldn’t wait to ask,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard you did something big at the base entrance today. A lot of people in the base now know the name ’Stella’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she got the full story, Sherry Renner couldn’t help but be impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Nina Jacobs played her cards perfectly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Using someone else’s supplies to win people over.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder so many people looked like they were gloating whenever Hugo Crawford’s name came up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s strange, I thought that activity camp belonged to Hugo Crawford alone,\" Sherry Renner said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a feeling that someone was secretly plotting something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that person was elusive and never showed their face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already used a Talisman Paper on Ms. Golding, but she really doesn’t know anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she did confess to brutally murdering a lot of people. Even York was furious when he heard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherry Renner thought the base should thank those \"mysterious people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the ones who wiped out the activity camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if those mysterious people seemed to be after Ms. Golding’s supplies, they still did everyone a great service by getting rid of a menace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, they definitely did a good thing,\" Nina Jacobs said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the activity camp was taken down, the system had also rewarded her with over two hundred bottles of Healing Potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could that not be a good thing?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s not talk about this for now. Someone might come to question you in the next couple of days, regarding the Nerissa Sutton matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherry Renner told her not to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The questioning from the Enforcement Bureau should just be routine, a formality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem. I’ll cooperate fully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs said she didn’t mind. By then, Leo Hale and Vera Coleman had already cleared out the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Ian Chandler needed to move all the supplies they had collected at the base entrance into the basement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera Coleman had cleaned the family’s basement until it was spotless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down the stairs, the first thing you saw were several rows of shelves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs had previously asked Yvonne Willow to put these shelves in. They were mainly used to store the family’s daily necessities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One row was a dedicated shelf for Sabrina Hale and Leontine Hale, filled with baby supplies and formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farther in were several rooms specially for hoarding supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basement was cool and dark, making it perfect for storing supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Chandler quickly filled one of the empty rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the supplies out of his spatial storage while Wayne Warner arranged them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the room filled to the brim with supplies, Leo Hale felt absolutely ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’All that hard work really wasn’t for nothing,’ he thought. ’As long as you’re willing to go out there and tough it out, you’re bound to get something back.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Chandler had also agreed to stay for dinner and was even planning to spend the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had his own room here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At dinner, the family was surprised to find a splash of green among the dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re green onions that Ian Chandler sprouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought this would make the food look a bit nicer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walsh explained, a little embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without sunlight and soil, vegetables sprouted by a Wood Element Ability User would lose eighty percent of their flavor; some were even completely tasteless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even as a garnish, they made his dishes look much more appetizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They look great! I never thought a Wood Element Superpower could be used like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hale boomed with a hearty laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only have a few seeds on me. I’ll try some others later and bring them to Walsh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Chandler was also discovering that Walsh was practically a jack-of-all-trades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He not only prepared food for Treasure, but there was also more than enough for Wayne Warner and his huge appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great, I’ll be waiting. No matter what you sprout, I can make a dish out of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walsh thought it was about time he got to know some Wood Element Ability Users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even if they don’t taste good, at least they’ll look nice.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs ate until she was mostly full, then went next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she took out four Mystic Ice Cores, intending for Pascal Paige, Wendy Marshall, Jessica Vance, and Yvonne Willow to absorb them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four had been with her since they left City J.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Jessica Vance’s Wind Element Superpower improving daily, Nina figured she might as well give them all a boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, however, both Wendy Marshall and Yvonne Willow refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be really valuable, right? As a Space Superpower User, I don’t really need it,\" Yvonne Willow said, very self-aware, believing it was better to give it to someone who needed it more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she mostly focused on practicing her escape and evasion skills and rarely participated in killing zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wendy Marshall, however, had other ideas. \"Instead of the Ice Element, I’d rather focus on improving my Water Element Superpower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can still use your Water Element abilities after you absorb it,\" Nina Jacobs explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wendy Marshall still shook her head. \"I feel the same way as Yvonne. The team needs at least a couple of people in support roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things like this should be prioritized for those who need them most. When they become common someday, it won’t be too late for us to absorb one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Water Element Superpower User, she was responsible for the team’s daily water supply, and she believed her Water Element abilities had more room for development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs didn’t push it. She knew they each had their own ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following their own pace was what mattered most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pascal Paige and Jessica Vance also knew how incredibly rare the Mystic Ice Cores were. Neither had expected Nina Jacobs to offer them up for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after Nina Jacobs explained the benefits, they decided to absorb them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Nina. You’ve brought me one step closer to my dream of becoming an Advanced Healer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Pascal Paige finished absorbing it, she truly felt its miraculous effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Superpower she had exhausted at the base hospital during the day was instantly replenished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even felt like she could go back and work the night shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you become an Advanced Healer soon,\" Nina Jacobs said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessica Vance seemed to take a little longer to absorb it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she opened her eyes, Nina Jacobs was waiting for her in the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you feel?\" Nina asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really good. And I feel like...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jessica Vance stared at the ground and lifted her foot. Then, to her own astonishment and that of everyone else in the yard, she found she was hovering in mid-air!\u003C\u002Fp>",1366,"2026-05-29T03:44:18.637Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","04178dd1cf5b4c52a04772bbe5d6e0a6d7ba030e99dce80a1350f4772465909c","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-253","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-251",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-cover.jpg"]
