Chapter 183

Author: Ada Plus
Trouble kept coming in waves. Even Beatrice was getting fed up. "Fine. Then we roll the dice and charge in."

Nicole looked at the group. "If they've been out this long and haven't gone back, there might be another group coming. You guys stay and hold the 18th floor. Zeph and I will slip in and see if there's a chance to make a move."

Beatrice frowned. "No. Just the two of you is too risky."

Zeph spoke up. "Too many people, and we're more likely to get exposed."

Nicole agreed. Hughie's group

    Finding a suitable site for the settlement cost the eastern military base dearly.The search used so much fuel that flights and surface patrols had to be scaled back. What remained was needed for construction.As more submarines arrived, the base put those with nuclear reactors to work searching for survivors.Sawyer and his crew took on the assignment. Their recent patrols took them more than 500 nautical miles from the settlement, where they gave directions to any Yorwynian survivors they found.Now, they were back for some time off.After parting ways with Nicole's group, Sawyer's crew headed for the coordinates. The journey was anything but uneventful.Without the supplies Nicole and Zeph gave them, especially the precious medicinal herbs, they might never have made it.They caught up as they walked, smiling and talking eagerly.Once they reached Platform A, Sawyer and his crew went to report in. Nicole's group headed to the information desk.In a place where a well-fed fa

    Once aboard the submarine, Nicole brought out a pot of beef stew from her storage space.Tender chunks of marbled beef, potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms filled the thick, savory gravy.Fish stayed off the menu. Nicole wanted nothing to do with it for the rest of her life.After so many bland meals, every bite was a treat. Nicole poured Poppy a small glass of red wine. "To your first job. Go show them what you can do."Poppy grinned. "Thanks, Nicole."For Cola, Nicole brought out a drumstick and pulled the meat off the bone. "Here you go. Let it cool a little."Cola barked, his tail wagging furiously.After two days of staying quiet in cramped quarters, he was ready to let loose. He tore up and down the submarine's passageway, barking and howling as much as he pleased.They took their time eating, stretching the meal out for nearly two hours.Pleasantly tipsy, Nicole rinsed her mouth and dropped onto the bed for a nap.Poppy washed the dishes, while Zeph sipped coffee by the

    Nicole didn't bring it up with Weasel. She knew he would turn her down.Stella would be more willing to accept help, if only for Lucas's sake."Give them food," Zeph said after a moment. "A few doses of medicine won't do much when they're this run-down. Even longer treatment won't help much unless they're eating better. You have plenty of herb seeds. Give them a few kinds they can grow themselves."Nicole nodded. "Alright. I'll take some over tomorrow."The next morning, Poppy worried about how she would measure up against the other applicants. She chose some old clothes, rubbed them against the floor, and worked dirt into the fabric.Nicole laughed and tousled her hair until it stuck out in every direction. "There. Now you look like you've been working in the fields all your life."Poppy examined the result, still unconvinced. "Can you make me look older?"Poppy wanted a few extra years for her interview, while Nicole would've gladly taken a few off her own face.She gave Popp

    Weasel might have been broke, but he knew the value of looking after people. He looked at Nicole earnestly."For once, I can do something for you. Let me. Otherwise, it's gonna bother me."Nicole shook her head. "That doesn't mean you owe me this. I know how hard these things are to find. If you won't let me pay, you'll have to take them back."When it became clear she wouldn't budge, Weasel tried another approach. "Stella and Lucas haven't been doing too well. How about you check them over, and we'll call it even?"Nicole frowned. "Aren't there doctors here?""They charge grain, and there's no medicine even if you can afford the visit."Mostly, he needed an excuse for her to accept the furniture. After so many years of disasters, just about everyone had something wrong with them. A diagnosis usually gave them one more thing to worry about."Alright," Nicole said. "I can't promise much, but I'll take a look."She accepted the furniture and followed him to Room 351.The three

    Back in the rooms, Poppy let Cola out to stretch his legs. Nicole brought out biscuits, scrambled eggs, and breakfast pastries for brunch. The three settled on the sofa to talk.Nicole felt hopeful. The disasters left civilization in ruins, but people were still determined to rebuild.Construction moved ahead at an impressive pace, researchers made steady progress, and soon, people would be growing food again. Everywhere she looked, there were signs of life returning.After everything Yorwyn endured through centuries of history, its people still found ways to carry on. She couldn't help admiring that.Poppy took a sip of her juice, then raised her hand. "I wanna apply for that gardening job."Nicole looked over in surprise. "You sure?"Poppy nodded. "I don't have much to do here. I'd like to give it a shot."Neither Poppy nor Zeph liked sitting around, and Poppy was never afraid of hard work. Years of growing food and caring for animals gave her plenty of experience.Nicole h

    Only Platforms A and B were complete. Construction continued at full speed on the others, with survivors moving in as more housing areas became available.The sites were noisy, but proper safety precautions were in place.Nicole stared up at the enormous construction machines. "The base doesn't even have electricity yet. How much fuel do these things go through in a day?"Zeph studied the equipment. "The big ones never stop running. They're probably nuclear-powered, or I doubt they could keep them going this long. The smaller ones use fuel."That made sense to Nicole. She couldn't see exhaust stacks on any of the larger machines.The equipment dwarfed her. Looking up at it, she understood why Yorwyn's island-building projects once drew attention from around the world.Still, she couldn't understand why work on the island itself wasn't underway alongside the platforms. Building up the seabed first seemed like it would make platform construction easier.Even before the disasters,

    After paying the deposit, Nicole drove straight to the largest outdoor gear store downtown.The outdoor gear market was fiercely competitive. The store was in full clearance mode, shutting down with brutal discounts. Some items were marked down to 20% of the original price.Perfect timing.Nicole

    "Ah!"Nicole Floyd jolted upright in bed, gasping. Sweat streamed down her forehead, her eyes unfocused and hollow.The sight in front of her cut through the haze in her mind.This was her old apartment, the one from before the apocalypse.Ding, ding…Text alerts kept chiming. She grabbed her p

    Nicole didn't hesitate. She blocked Edward right away.Less than a minute later, her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number.She didn't need to guess; this was Edward's classmate or one of his friends.Given a second chance at life, Nicole had zero interest in being taken for a fool. She w

    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
