The Apocalypse Survival Manual Chapter 124
"Don't cry," Zeph said to Poppy. "Your tears will freeze, and that'll leave scars on your face."Nicole poured him a cup, then hurried over and knocked on Hughie's door.Inside, the three of them were in complete chaos, fumbling to pull on layers and wrapping themselves in blankets.Even holding the hot ginger tea, their hands shook uncontrollably.Jeremy had it the worst. His face had turned a frightening shade of purple.They threw on fur coats, piled on quilts, and wrapped themselves up until they looked like bundled packages. None of them were used to this kind of cold. Their bodies trembled violently, their chests tight and uncomfortable.Only after downing several cups of hot ginger tea did they finally start to come back to themselves."N-Nicole, you really jinxed it," Jeremy muttered while curled up on the couch, his teeth chattering. "If you hadn't picked up the 200 grand back then, we'd all be dead tonight."All those thick clothes and blankets had been bought just to

Jeremy snapped at Nicole, but she just smiled without arguing.If she really had a jinx like that, she would rather the deep freeze never come at all.She kept an eye on Zeph. He was calm and unreadable as always, no hint of emotion on his face.Cola, on the other hand, was restless. Even after four hours of training, the dog couldn't settle down. He kept letting out low, uneasy whines every now and then.Nicole had no idea when the cold would hit, and the sense of unease wouldn't leave her. She pulled out electric blankets, down comforters, and thick quilts in advance, stacking them within reach.That night, she deliberately changed into her temperature-regulating clothes before bed.After a full day of intense training, her body was drained. She had meant to stay up a bit longer, but sleep hit her hard, dragging her under before she even realized it.She didn't know how long she had been out when Cola's frantic barking snapped her awake. The walkie-talkie crackled with static.

The Goodmans had spent the past few days digging up wild arrowroot. Victor even built a crude grinder that could mash the chopped roots into pulp, then wash and strain it into powder. By their estimate, they could process over 100 pounds of it.If the world hadn't gone to hell, it would've been a great product.But right now, staying full mattered more than anything. Arrowroot was good for skin and was rich in nutrition, but it didn't keep hunger away for long.The Goodmans wanted Nicole's group to help them trade it for real food.Nicole thought it over. "What kind of trade are you thinking about?""One pound for one pound," Gabrielle replied. "Does that sound fair?"She didn't give a direct answer. "I'll ask around."Gabrielle didn't sound confident. "If that doesn't work…broken rice is fine too."So they knew.If the roles were reversed, they probably wouldn't trade fresh rice for arrowroot flour. In a situation like this, only people with extra supplies and no immediate fo

Zeph probably had deep psychological trauma from last time. His body froze for just a split second, and that was all Nicole needed. She flipped him straight onto the mat.She pinned one of his long legs down and twisted his arm behind his back, locking him in place.Their bodies tangled together, but Nicole clearly had the upper hand.Zeph let out a helpless laugh. For once, he didn't counter with anything brutal. "Not bad. Guess you can even take down your own teacher now."Nicole immediately let go and got up, a little embarrassed. "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you."She had gotten carried away and pulled a dirty move again. It wasn't exactly something to be proud of.They kept sparring. Two hours later, both of them were drenched in sweat.Nicole's face was flushed, her breathing uneven, her whole body soaked and aching in the best way possible.Poppy came back, hugging her doll, clearly starving. "I'm hungry. What are we having tonight?"Zeph glanced at Nicole.Nicole paus

Poppy officially "retired" from kitchen duty and ran off to the living room to play with Cola.One pound of flour mixed with water made about a pound and a half of dough, and each pound of dough could turn out around 100 raviolis.With Hughie's group pitching in, they finally managed to crank out a 1,000 dumplings.Nicole took 300 of them, trading back an equal amount of flour and meat to Zeph.Hughie's group wanted to try making raviolis themselves, but Nicole was completely wiped. She didn't help, just lent Beatrice the hand-crank meat grinder and cut them a big chunk of frozen pork they had been storing at her place.After grabbing about an hour of sleep, her walkie-talkie crackled to life. "Hey, want to spar today?""Yeah.""If you want to practice with the crossbow, come earlier."No way she was saying no to that. Nicole rolled out of bed and pulled on her shoes. "I'm on my way."Zeph's cooking might be questionable, but in every other area, he was solid. His marksmanship

Nicole headed home and got straight to work, pulling together ingredients for ravioli.She started by making the fillings: a classic ground pork mix, a ricotta and herb blend, and a simple mushroom filling. Once everything was prepped, all that was left was to start assembling.Ten pounds of dough was a lot. At this rate, it felt like it would take all afternoon to get through it.Zeph stood at the sink washing vegetables while Nicole cranked a manual meat grinder she had pulled out from her stash, working the fillings.Once the dough was ready, she showed him how to roll out pasta sheets.No surprise, Zeph was good with his hands. The only problem was he was way too particular. He kept frowning at the pasta sheets, insisting they weren't perfectly square.Somehow, he even found a copper cutter and started stamping each piece into exact squares.Nicole just stared at him. Some dedication.Once the fillings were mixed, they started assembling the ravioli.Poppy came running ove
