The Apocalypse Survival Manual Chapter 762
Craig clenched his teeth against the pain, his eyes wide with fear. "If I tell you, will you let me go?""Depends on what you tell me." Nicole pressed her gun to his forehead. "Or keep your mouth shut, and we can end this now."His jaw tightened. He said nothing.Nicole didn't bother trying to beat the answer out of him. She tried a different approach."How about this? Tell me who hired you, and I'll tell you what happened to your men."So she was responsible.Craig struggled beneath her foot. "What did you do to them?"Nicole smiled, then shot him in the thigh again. "I used to be a surgeon. I know where to aim if I want to keep you alive. We can keep going. Your choice."She was in control, and she wasn't about to let him bargain with her.She fired twice more.Craig's screams echoed through the mountains. No one came.He had never dealt with anyone like her. He couldn't predict what she would do next."I'll talk! I'll talk!"The pain was so bad that death almost seemed

Nicole didn't linger. She drove the truck away under cover of darkness.At Mount Cedar, she put both truckloads of coal into her storage space. Then she used the ether-soaked cloth on the captives again, hoping to keep them unconscious until the next day's meeting.Zeph tied and gagged them, then hid them among the rocks.The four of them found a secluded spot, pitched their tent, and settled comfortably under the blankets. They woke a little after 7 a.m. and had a quick breakfast in the cool mountain air.Shortly after ten, Poppy called from her lookout spot. "Nicole, they're here."Two battered SUVs bounced up the rough road toward Mount Cedar.Nicole, Zeph, and Poppy took their positions with their sniper rifles. Cola couldn't use a gun, so he paced in restless circles.More than ten minutes later, the SUVs stopped at the foot of the mountain. The men from the night before climbed out with about eight others.Nicole recognized two of them from the base. They were always look

Zeph nodded. "This place is remote. It should be safe. We're all exhausted, so let's get some sleep."The four of them went into the tent, turned off the lights, and settled in for the night.Before long, loud snoring drifted out from inside, human and dog alike, blending into one ridiculous chorus.Cola was the worst. He was completely dead to the world. A mountain could've come crashing down, and he probably still wouldn't have woken up.Several shadowy figures crept toward the tent with their weapons drawn.The man in front had barely reached it when he heard a faint sound behind him. He immediately turned around.They hadn't brought any lights because they didn't want to alert their targets. It was pitch-black, and he couldn't see anything.Everything was quiet. He figured he must've imagined it.He reached for the tent flap again, only to feel something cold press against the back of his head.He froze and immediately switched on a light. A young girl stood beside the t

After Jeremy and the others left, Nicole sat on the couch and quietly leaned against Zeph's shoulder.Zeph slipped an arm around her. "What's wrong?""I just feel happy. Really content." Nicole wrapped her arms around his neck. "Thank you."He smiled. "For what?""For everything." Nicole smiled back at him. "For finding me. For understanding me. For loving me. For putting up with me. For forgiving me..."Everything felt so right that she wished it could stay this way forever. She wanted them to grow old together and never have to be apart again.Zeph simply held her, his chest warm and full.In the kitchen, Poppy washed the dishes and pretended not to notice them being affectionate.She saw nothing. Absolutely nothing.Cola, on the other hand, shamelessly poked his head around the doorway. Poppy grabbed him by the ear and pulled him back. "No."The next morning, Nicole slept in and woke up on her own. While eating the noodles Poppy made, she said to Zeph, "We don't have a

Maybe the base made Hughie feel secure, or maybe he had genuinely started to enjoy military life. Either way, he couldn't resist bragging with Jeremy. "Man, if we'd joined a few years earlier, think we'd be squad leaders or company commanders by now?"Jeremy shook his head. "I think the timing worked out just right. If I'd come here a few years earlier, I never would've met Diana. "And back then, we didn't have the skills or experience we have now. We might not even have passed the enlistment test. "At best, we'd probably be out scavenging and risking our lives every day."Nicole laughed. "Just keep working hard. The promotions will come eventually. When all this is finally over, and you're both high-ranking officers, don't forget about me."Jeremy and Hughie immediately started piling on the praise. "No matter how far we get, we'll never catch up to you, Nicole."You two brought back enough rare metals to get the base factories running at full capacity again. All those ext

Whoever broke into the house had been extremely careful not to leave any obvious signs, but Zeph knew exactly what to look for.If anything had been moved or touched, he would notice.Before they left, Nicole stored away anything important and only left behind a few everyday items.Once inside, the four of them acted normal and chatted casually while quietly checking the entire place.There were faint signs that someone had gone through their belongings, but they didn't find any listening devices.Zeph gave Nicole a look. If the military was behind it, they would've been careful enough that even he might not have caught it.They carried the groceries into the kitchen. Nicole had only bought a pound of pork belly, so she took several more pounds from storage, along with some vegetables, skewers, and her homemade sauce.After a good meal, Nicole soaked in the hot spring to ease the fatigue. By the time she woke up, it was already evening.She picked up the radio and tried Jeremy

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
