Chapter 288

Author: Ada Plus
At this point, there was no way to carefully pick through anything.

Zeph and Nicole could only grab standard sizes and collect whatever they managed to find.

Zeph ripped open boxes one by one, checked whether the contents were still usable, estimated the quantity, then called Nicole over to store everything away.

The pressure underwater drained her fast. Whenever Nicole got too exhausted, she ducked into the storage space to recover.

The plan was simple: collect as much as possible first. I

    Whoever emptied the gas stations had done it professionally, leaving absolutely nothing behind.Nicole and Zeph weren't the type to give up easily, so they checked two more stations anyway. Both were just as empty.Zeph thought about it for a moment before coming to a conclusion. "Probably the city government." Once the water level dropped, they would need fuel to restart transportation and basic infrastructure. They must've sent professional crews out early to secure supplies.If the city had already organized fuel recovery operations, there probably weren't many untouched stations left anywhere nearby.Nicole looked a little disappointed. "So what now? Go home or look for something else?"Zeph considered it briefly. "Let's try highway rest stops."The gas inside the city had already been cleaned out, but highway service stations were much farther from the city. There was still a chance nobody had gotten to them yet.The two of them traveled from sunrise all the way into th

    Zeph laughed softly at Nicole's reaction. "Yeah. They're all yours."He honestly hadn't expected her to have such a straightforward, almost childlike side to her. She looked like a kid who had just walked into a candy store.Nicole climbed into the shipping container and realized every SUV inside was brand new. The protective film still covered the paint, which meant the vehicles had probably just arrived before the disasters hit and never made it to customization.Honestly, these were already top-tier off-road vehicles straight from the factory. Modifying them further was almost a waste.Back before the collapse, rich kids loved turning perfectly good supercars into obnoxious status symbols with engines loud enough to wake half the city.Now, though, they were perfect.Zeph inspected the vehicles carefully. From what he could see, all three SUVs were still in excellent condition.The vehicles themselves were high quality, but the sealed shipping containers were the real reason

Whenever Nicole got too exhausted, she ducked into the storage space to recover.The plan was simple: collect as much as possible first. If the storage space filled up later, they could always throw out the less valuable stuff.By noon, they had hauled in thousands of cubic feet of inventory. Even after setting aside what they needed for themselves and what they planned to donate, there was still enough to last three generations.Well, assuming there even were future generations.And if not, that was fine, too. She could always save it as gifts for Poppy and Cola.Around midday, Zeph finally called for them to leave. Nicole

    Zeph and Nicole spread the map out and quickly zeroed in on the biggest ceramics factory in Westbridge.Zeph glanced over at her. "Any high-end auto shops around here?"Nicole paused for a second. "Yeah."Westbridge had plenty of rich people. The older generation kept things low-key and practical. Their kids were the exact opposite, cruising around in multi-million dollar supercars while wearing flip-flops.There was even an elite car customization club started by a real estate heir, dedicated to modifying luxury cars.The summer after Nicole graduated high school, she worked there for two months, serving drinks and making coffee.The pay was decent, but that wasn't why she took the job. She wanted footage for her channel, so she went undercover and secretly filmed exotic cars.She made three videos out of it, and every single one blew up. The lives of rich people really were beyond imagination.Nicole looked at Zeph. "Are you hunting for parts?"Zeph nodded. "My SUV's still

    The next destination was only an hour away.Under the blazing sun, however, it felt endless.The 120-degree heat stalked them like a killer that refused to back off. Even with temperature-regulating clothing, sweat kept pouring from their bodies. The heat trapped itself against their skin until both of them felt drenched and half-boiled alive.Luckily, Zeph's sense of direction held up.Before long, the top floors of a four-story factory emerged from the receding floodwater.The building sat taller than the surrounding structures. The company logo on the rooftop reflected sharp metallic light beneath the sun.The two climbed onto the roof, then pried open the rooftop access door with pliers and a crowbar.The water had dropped over three feet, exposing stained ceilings with peeling paint. Huge stacks of finished goods and raw materials piled all the way to the upper floor.The company had clearly tried to save what it could. Employees must have organized emergency transfers and

    Nicole had worried she might not be able to store the steel underwater. Instead, it worked almost effortlessly.Zeph stayed close beside her the entire time, keeping watch not only on her but on the dark water around them.They cleared out several rebar suppliers in a row. Coil after coil vanished into the storage space, stacking neatly across the black soil garden in towering piles.The pressure underwater made it hard to notice at first, but the materials were massive and unbelievably heavy. After half an hour, exhaustion started creeping in fast. The mental strain hit even harder.For safety's sake, Nicole finally retreated into the storage space to rest.Zeph handed her an energy drink and some chocolate while helping massage the stiffness from her arms and legs."Take a break."Knowing time inside the storage space was limited, he refused to waste a second. Seeing the living room still empty, he headed into the garden and dragged back a bed.Not just any bed, either.The
