The Apocalypse Survival Manual Chapter 742
Or maybe Arthur simply had no interest in romance anymore.After all these years of Irene trying to get closer to him, he never once returned her feelings. He made sure she and Camila were comfortable, but that was as far as it went.The man Irene once knew felt more distant with every passing year. She couldn't read him anymore, much less understand what he was thinking.And now Nicole was here.The radio crackled, pulling both Irene and Camila from their thoughts."Sorry. I've got a lot to do today, so I won't be coming home."Arthur's voice was calm and steady. He sounded polite, but nothing more.Irene froze for a moment before quickly answering, "You still have to eat, no matter how busy you are. If you can't come home, I can make something and bring it to you.""There's a cafeteria here. Besides, this is a restricted military area. Civilians aren't allowed in."And that was it.Irene's face fell, and her hands slowly curled into fists.In previous years, even when Arth

Irene dug up the supplies the Clarks had hidden outside the villa community, hired a few armed escorts, and headed for the military base with Camila.But as soon as they reached Grayport, the men turned on them. If a military patrol hadn't come along when it did, Irene and Camila would've been killed.Getting to the base on their own clearly wasn't going to work.So when the soldiers questioned Irene, she lied. She said Arthur was family and Camila was his daughter.She didn't feel guilty about it. Arthur had supposedly stayed single all these years because of her, and the truth was, she had never completely gotten over him either.Once the soldiers heard they were Arthur's family, they helped Irene get in touch with him.They gave her a military satellite phone, and for the first time in more than 20 years, Irene heard Arthur's voice again.The sound of his voice brought all her old regrets rushing back.If she had known they would meet again someday, she never would've given

As long as Camila and Irene kept their stories straight and denied everything, there wasn't much Arthur could do even if he grew suspicious.Still, Camila couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. "Mom, do you think he knows? You've been so good to him all these years, but he still keeps his distance. Sometimes, he doesn't come home for a week or two, and even when he does, he never stays overnight."Irene's expression tightened."Your father is one of the base's top commanders. He's busy. Half the time, he practically lives at his office."Camila still wasn't convinced. "The other senior officers are busy, too, but they still make time for their families. They don't just disappear for weeks at a time."She had quietly asked around. Arthur really was busy, but before she and Irene came, he still returned to the officers' housing regularly.At first, his distance made sense. They hadn't seen each other in years, and it took time to adjust. But even now, he was just as

When it came to Camila, Lillian was at a loss."Even if I don't care about Camilia, I still have to think about Commander Hunt. He's done a lot for the base, and he helped my husband more than once. I can't exactly report her over something like this."She sighed. "Forget it. She's clearly not cut out for working anyway. Sooner or later, she'll get tired of showing up and quit on her own.""How many jobs has she already bounced between? She causes trouble everywhere she goes." The clerk was thoroughly fed up. "We're the ones who keep getting stuck with it. You shouldn't have stepped in today. You should've let those people scare some sense into her. Maybe then she'd stop coming to work."Lillian gave a helpless laugh. "Alright, that's enough. Don't talk about people behind their backs. Just focus on doing your own job."With two free days ahead of them, Nicole took the submarine manual home so she could study it carefully.By the time the four of them got back to their detach

Nicole kept going. "If her connections are that good, she can stay home and play rich girl. She clearly has no idea how to deal with customers, so why is she even working here?"Nicole came at them so hard that even Lillian started to look embarrassed. She apologized again and again, but nothing seemed to calm her down, and for once, Lillian didn't know what else to say.Camila shook with anger. "Nicole, don't push me.""This is me pushing you?" Nicole shot back. "Nothing I've said is worse than what you said a minute ago. If you think you're too good for this job, then quit. The base didn't hire you to insult customers."Lillian had dealt with plenty of difficult customers before, and from the way these two were talking, it was obvious they had history. Camila had definitely picked the wrong person to offend.If Nicole filed a formal complaint, Lillian's own review and pay could take a hit.Realizing Nicole wasn't going to let it go, Lillian stopped trying to protect Camila.

The woman's voice was sharp, and the contempt on her face was impossible to miss.Apparently, some things never changed. Even on a military base, there were still salespeople who looked down on anyone they thought couldn't afford what they were selling.Nicole couldn't help wondering how someone with that attitude even got hired.Then again, maybe she grew up around the military and got used to thinking she was better than everyone else.All four of them turned to look at the clerk.Nicole stared at her for a second. The woman looked strangely familiar.Then, it clicked. Wasn't she the rich girl who used to keep an alpaca?If Nicole remembered right, they were technically related, too. They even shared the same worthless mother.Nicole deliberately hadn't changed clothes in days so she would look like a scavenger who'd spent a long stretch outside. Her face was greasy and grimy, and her hair was a tangled mess.Zeph didn't look much better. He looked rough and weather-beaten,

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

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
