The peeling paint in some areas was negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This will do,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian Shaw said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a two-story building in a relatively secluded location, but there was no telling what was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs pushed the door open and went straight inside. \"No zombies. It’s safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had only taken this route because they had entered Aethelgard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the rescue team had been returning to City D Base, they would have taken a different road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she had decided to deploy the Safe House here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also to allow Wayne Warner to level up in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she hadn’t rested the previous night, so tonight she could finally get a good night’s sleep in the Safe House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a bit empty, though. There’s no furniture inside. Looks like the owner moved out a long time ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirley Lucas remarked after looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn’t a problem. He had plenty of furniture and beds in his space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Level Four Safe House was very spacious, but it didn’t have many rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs immediately used her Earth Element Superpower to create a series of stone walls, partitioning both the upper and lower floors into several rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, she went outside the building and, as usual, created a circular stone wall to enclose the Safe House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would ensure that no zombies could get close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place really feels like a home,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joanne Page said as she walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, as soon as she entered, she felt a sense of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because the main door was shut tight, and there wasn’t a single trace of zombies inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A house like this had become a rare sight in the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides Joanne Page, the others also gathered on the first floor, eating, talking, and laughing. The scene was incredibly heartwarming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it’s definitely better than the last place,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs said with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small building was one of the new skins for the Safe House, one she had never used before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We owe you for what happened yesterday. If you need anything at the base in the future, just ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joanne Page didn’t know how to thank Nina Jacobs. Nina most likely didn’t lack anything; Joanne knew that even the base commander treated her with great respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she felt it was important to show her gratitude nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was also doing it for my team members,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gains from this trip to Aethelgard had been enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was a Five-star Task, the amount of supplies in that freight center had been staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her Level Four storage grids each had a capacity of 80 square meters and were three stories high. The supplies from Mission 44 had completely filled 18 of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for losses, her only ones were the Little Zombie Rats that had self-detonated or been crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, she had plenty of Superpower Energy now. As long as she had time, she could spawn Little Zombie Rats whenever and wherever she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joanne Page chatted with Nina Jacobs for a bit longer, but her eyelids grew heavy, so she decided to turn in early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to her room, Nina Jacobs took out her Unlimited Communicator to let Vera Coleman know she was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera Coleman replied shortly after, telling her that everything was fine back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Adrian Shaw arranged for a night watch as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had expected to attract at least a few zombies, but by the next morning, there wasn’t a single one outside the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs had an early breakfast and checked on Wayne Warner, but he was clearly still in the process of leveling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just focus on leveling up. Don’t worry about anything. The longer it takes, the better it will be for you,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she said, sitting beside Wayne Warner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew Wayne Warner could hear her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure Wayne Warner could level up in peace, Shirley Lucas took out an RV from his space before they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The suspension on this RV is top-notch, and it has separate sleeping compartments inside,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirley Lucas explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs hadn’t expected Shirley Lucas to even have an RV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. If Summer likes it, this one’s for you,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirley Lucas said generously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As for RVs, I have a few more in my space anyway.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, but it takes up too much space. It’s better to leave it with you,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After that trip to Aethelgard, I really should use my storage grids more sparingly,’ she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I have almost ninety system storage grids, but it’s still no match for Shirley Lucas’s infinite space...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full night of good sleep left everyone refreshed and energetic as they set off again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as Lana and the others had warned, the closer they got to Veridia, the more zombies they encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several zombies were completely bound by rings of thunder, Adrian Shaw once again conjured several Thunder Balls and finished them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian Shaw was very dissatisfied with his performance. ’Still too slow.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending so much time on administrative duties at the base had caused his Superpower skills to stagnate, a fact he’d only realized during the recent Superpower User competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be anxious. Practice makes perfect,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs reminded him from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Adrian Shaw’s Control Power over his Thunder Element Superpower is very strong,’ she thought. ’What he needs to improve is his attack power and speed.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Practice makes perfect...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Nina Jacobs move through the horde of zombies with fluid, graceful motions, the anxiety in Adrian Shaw’s eyes gradually faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right. Practice does make perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian Shaw conjured a Thunder Chain again, instantly restraining several zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Alloyed Zombie had its skullcap ripped off by Nina Jacobs’s Fire Roaring Blade. The Fire Roaring Blade was a Fire Attribute weapon, and when infused with her Fire Element Superpower, its sharp, fiery aura could inflict damage even without direct contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joanne Page’s weapon was also a blade. She silently stared at the long sword in her hand. ’If Nina’s blade can concentrate Fire Element damage, what about my Gold Element?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, awesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they had killed all the zombies that had surrounded them, Beckett Abbott walked up to the rest area and exclaimed happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was only the fourth day of the mission, the team’s coordination was already remarkably in sync.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, everyone was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Captain, Nina Jacobs, is treating everyone to lunch today, so don’t forget to thank her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirley Lucas took out rows of tables and chairs in a clean, open area. He even thoughtfully placed a parasol over the table for Nina Jacobs, Jessica Vance, Joanne Page, and the other women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They planned to have lunch here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We must thank Captain Nina Jacobs! We always eat well when we’re with her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus Miller said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t the first time Nina Jacobs had treated them to a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meals prepared by the base weren’t bad, but the food Nina Jacobs provided had a taste of home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mention it. It’s hot out. If we don’t eat it soon, it’ll spoil and go to waste,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina Jacobs said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vera Coleman and Walsh had personally prepared all of it, so of course it tasted good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it had been stored in Shirley Lucas’s space, it couldn’t be kept for too long, even with a small refrigerator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Jacobs’s food is really yummy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eve gave a small thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made everyone laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like someone’s coming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rohan Calloway put down his chopsticks and looked off into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hearing was a fair bit sharper than that of ordinary Superpower Users. A moment later, everyone else did indeed see several vehicles approaching from the direction they were headed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ignore them for now. Let’s finish eating quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian Shaw saw that the vehicles weren’t being followed by zombies, so he sat back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They assumed the vehicles were just passing by, but unexpectedly, the cars changed direction and headed straight for their clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWISH! SWISH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several long Gold Spikes landed on the ground in front of the approaching cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Joanne Page, warning the newcomers to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vehicles screeched to a halt. As several people climbed out, Greg Unger suddenly slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>",1420,"2026-05-29T03:44:18.637Z","2026-06-01T04:29:06.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","a67cadc1209b8205ffde51dddc542522b7cf5b361b4a5ef45efcf2be5887e30d","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-297","after-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-chapter-295",312,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-i-fully-prepared-for-the-apocalypse-the-un-cover.jpg"]
