Chapter 14

작가: Ada Plus
There was no key for 1803. Nicole was about to look for tools to pry the door open when Hughie pulled a strange-looking single hook from his pocket and started fiddling with the lock.

A few minutes later, it clicked open.

Nicole broke out in a cold sweat. For a split second, her own two doors suddenly felt very unsafe.

Beatrice laughed awkwardly. "We were worried we wouldn't be able to get in. He's been practicing at home for two days."

Apartment 1803 had three bedrooms and a living room; it

    Once the gate was installed, the house felt much more secure. Zeph rammed into it several times, but it didn't budge, instantly doubling Nicole's sense of safety.Sven immediately decided to copy it. He pulled out his phone, took several pictures, and planned to have an identical gate made.-The HOA moved quickly. No one had come by to collect the food contributions yet, but the security patrol was already up and running.The guards worked in teams of ten, with one team assigned to the east side and another to the west. Each shift had twenty people in total.Nicole stood on the rooftop and watched a patrol march past below.They looked capable enough. Most were young and well built, and some of them had probably received combat training.After dinner, Nicole clipped a leash onto Cola and took him for a walk around the neighborhood.In an open area, the Robinsons' bodyguards were training the security team. They were teaching them defensive moves and attack techniques, and the

    Tom shot his wife a sharp look. "Besides, whenever Nicole hires us to build something, she never tries to haggle us down. Try working for someone else and see how they treat you. Don't get greedy when she's already been good to us."His wife knew he was right, but she still looked worried. "With so many people moving tomorrow, do you think the road will be safe?""More than 100 of us are traveling together. If that still isn't enough to keep us safe, then I guess there's nothing we can do."Tom sighed. "Stop worrying. Captain Landon has already helped us line up work. The younger, stronger people can join the security patrol or work on the farms. Ronald and I know carpentry, so we won't have any trouble earning enough food."As Nicole and the others reached the front gate, they happened to run into Alex. Nicole smiled and greeted him. "Captain Landon, been a while."Alex seemed to be in a good mood. "Oh, hey. Are you and Zeph doing okay?""We're doing fine." Nicole waved as t

    Several SUVs drove into the neighborhood, each carrying bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses. The guards stationed themselves every few yards along the road leading to the central villa, completely blocking off the side street.A Unimog expedition vehicle came next, followed by an EleMMent Palazzo. More than 20 people stepped out, including men, women, children, and elderly relatives. Every one of them looked polished and refined, without the slightest sign that they had been living through an apocalypse.The wealthy residents put on their most charming smiles and rushed forward to greet them. "Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson."Nicole hadn't expected to see Westbridge's richest family up close. She kept whispering gossip to Zeph. "The man in the middle, the one who looks close to 60, is the head of Robinson Corporation."Before she could finish, another Maybach SUV pulled up. The door opened, and a pair of Hermès slides appeared, followed by cropped casual pants.The

    Still, the other men were jealous of Weasel. If they had a wife that gorgeous, they wouldn't mind being wrapped around her finger. They would gladly wait on her hand and foot.They all knew one another, so after exchanging greetings, Nicole handed Sven a housewarming gift. She brought premium liquor and expensive cigarettes, leaving him speechless. Luxuries like these were growing harder to find by the day, especially after the massive earthquake. Even with all his connections, he could barely get his hands on them anymore.Nicole and Zeph clearly had access to things most people didn't.Sven rarely treated himself to cigarettes this expensive, and the moment he caught the scent, he immediately wanted one.He tore open the pack, passed cigarettes around to the others, and offered one to Zeph.Zeph politely declined. "Thanks, but I don't smoke."The others had no such restraint. They took deep drags, looking as content as cats with catnip.The housewarming spread was impressive

    Nicole and Zeph didn't really have any friends, so they had held their own housewarming long ago. They celebrated with foie gras, wagyu, caviar wrapped in ham, and a bottle of vintage wine.Cola got his share, too, and licked his plate spotless.Since Sven was a neighbor they saw every day, Nicole had no reason to refuse. "Sure.""Just bring yourselves. No gifts." Knowing how much Brandon enjoyed playing with Poppy, Sven added, "And don't forget to bring Poppy and Cola."Life in the villa was a little lonely with just the two of them. Whenever Weasel and the others weren't working, they would come over to eat, play cards, or just hang out.The days were comfortable enough. Just a little dull.Other than becoming unusually enthusiastic whenever the curtains were drawn, Zeph spent most of his time working, reading, sparring, eating, and sleeping.Nicole was almost always the one who kept the conversation going.That night, as they lay in bed, she reached over and poked him in the

    "It isn't often Brandon gets along with someone this well. Have Poppy come over and play with him sometime," Sven said.Poppy needed friends, too. As long as she wanted to, Nicole had no reason to object.After Sven left, Nicole asked Poppy, "So, what do you think of Brandon?""He's nice, and he does what I tell him.""Do you want to keep playing with him?"Poppy thought for a moment. "Can I?"Nicole knew exactly what she was worried about. "It's fine to make friends, but never let your guard down. Just because you've known someone a long time doesn't mean you should trust them completely.""Okay! I'll play with him once in a while."Zeph got back right on time, and the four of them sat down for lunch."Tom says he can build it. He recommends beech. It's sturdy, impact-resistant, and hard enough to make a strong front gate."Beech?Nicole had no idea what beech wood looked like.She had plenty of lumber in storage, but most of it had been milled after the trees died. Aside

    Nicole never expected the new resident of 1801 to be the same young man who had helped her at the courier station.He looked mildly surprised, too. He nodded once at her, then went back to work.Up close, he was striking in a cold, sharp way. He was tall and lean, with broad shoulders and clean li

    Two miles was nothing. The Hummer reached the entrance to the complex in just a few minutes.Nicole handed the man 400 dollars, thanking him for saving her and for ignoring traffic rules.His voice stayed cool. "No need. I was heading this way, anyway."Seeing he wouldn't take it, she didn't push

    Just after midnight, the timer refreshed. One hundred thirty minutes remaining.That meant time could stack.Nicole nearly laughed out loud. Seconds mattered. During crucial moments, even a minute could mean the difference between living and dying.She decided that unless it was absolutely necess

    Nicole jolted, then immediately checked with her mind.The storage space was still there. The supplies were still there, too. She tested it; she thought of an item, and a coal briquette appeared in her hand.Sweeping the space again, she noticed the glowing timer had reset to zero.That was when
