Chapter 369

Author: Ada Plus
Poppy didn't want Zeph and Nicole to go, but in the end, she nodded.

"I'll take care of myself."

Nicole packed their things while Zeph handed Poppy a suppressed handgun, signaling for her to hide it somewhere safe.

She hid it well enough that no one would ever find it.

They stayed with her for a while. Around midnight, the two of them and Cola got ready to leave.

Cola lingered, rubbing against Poppy again and again before finally stepping back. They left her with enough food. Zeph reminded

    Victor's girlfriend also worked at the research institute, though she had an administrative job. She looked quiet and delicate, but Gabrielle felt that she was much better with people than the three reserved Goodmans.She didn't earn much, and she had lost her entire family during the apocalypse, leaving her completely on her own.One evening after work, she ran into a group of thugs. Victor happened to be passing by and took them down with a stun baton.She had no family complications, seemed honest and dependable, and would fit in well with the Goodmans.Seeing Victor get married would leave Gabrielle with no regrets.Gabrielle warmly invited them. "The wedding reception is in a couple of weeks. You and Zeph should come have dinner with us."Nicole readily agreed. "We'll be there."After spending some more time at the plaza, they headed home as the weather began to turn colder.When they returned to the neighborhood, several cars were parked outside the Robinsons' villa.

    After lunch, Nicole brought down several bottles of skincare products, all unopened and still in their original packaging. "We found these while scavenging a long time ago. Take them and see what you can get for them. If they don't sell, don't worry about it."Sven readily agreed. "They'll sell. Guaranteed." He could sell just about anything if he put his mind to it.Nicole also brought down two cartons of cigarettes. "A friend gave us these. They probably weren't stored very well because they've lost some of their flavor."Hughie and the others had brought them over the day before. Zeph didn't smoke, and Nicole had plenty of better brands in her storage space, so there was no point keeping these until they went completely stale.Delighted by the unexpected haul, Sven asked, "What do you want in return?""Fresh beef or lamb, if you can find any."Sven hadn't made a deal in several days and was already itching to get back to business. He left Brandon at Villa 50 and headed out

    Sven didn't know exactly who had gotten the news out, but he knew the agricultural research institute raised fingerlings, and people with the right connections could get their hands on some.He traded supplies for this one, and it had probably passed through several people before reaching him. It definitely didn't come cheap.There were still some soybean fritters left from the day before, so Nicole decided to serve them with the fish and make a fish stew.Poppy worked diligently, with Brandon helping beside her.When Nicole wasn't looking, he slipped a handful of chocolate-covered cereal bites into Poppy's pocket.Snacks were so rare and valuable that Poppy immediately tried to give them back."I saved these just for you. We still have more at home."As he spoke, he unwrapped one and popped it into her mouth. "Is it good?""Mm-hmm." Poppy smiled at him. "Brandon, you're so nice."Her praise made Brandon beam. He leaned closer and whispered, "I only gave the other kids one eac

    The earthquake warning had saved countless lives, and survivors from neighboring cities were still flooding into the area.With demand so high, housing prices continued to rise.Polar night was approaching, with smog and acid rain expected afterward. Renters could lose their homes at any time, so anyone who could afford to buy a place had every reason to do it.Nicole fully supported the idea. "That's great! The sooner you buy, the better."They were all strong and capable, so making a living wasn't a problem. Beatrice, especially, felt as though she had been given a second chance now that she had recovered.A new goal gave them something to work toward. They raised their glasses to a fresh start.By a little after 6 p.m., everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.Nicole brought out some peanuts and sunflower seeds. "Poppy grew these herself. Try some.""Wow, Poppy! That's incredible!"Poppy blushed at the praise and ducked behind Nicole.Beatrice and the others had brought mo

    Everyone got to work, bustling around as they prepared Christmas dinner.After lunch, Beatrice and the others spent some time touring the two greenhouses.There were chickens, ducks, geese, quail, sweet potatoes, potatoes, vegetables, and even a greenhouse full of medicinal herbs on the rooftop.The four of them were amazed. Nicole really was something else. No matter what kind of environment she found herself in, she always managed to build a good life."Beatrice, one day we're getting a villa here, too. We'll be neighbors with Nicole and Zeph, and we'll raise chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep!"Not to be outdone, Jeremy slipped an arm around Diana's shoulders. "Diana, I'll work hard, too!"Nicole almost laughed. "Do you want some chicks or ducklings? You can take a pair home after dinner.""No." As tempted as Beatrice was, she stayed practical. "We both work. We don't have time to raise them. Once we can afford a villa, we'll come back and ask you then. But make sure you save

    Sven was secretly pleased. His son was finally showing some backbone. In the past, Brandon had never argued with him. The boy kept everything bottled up, whether he was happy, upset, or angry."Poppy's family is having guests, too," Sven said, trying to reason with him. "You see Poppy every day anyway. Why don't you invite them over for dinner the day after Christmas?"Brandon looked disappointed. "Okay. I'll ask Poppy tomorrow.""It's always Poppy this and Poppy that with you. Don't you ever play with the other kids?"Weasel and several of the others had children as well, but Brandon never invited any of them over. Sven began to suspect that his son might have a little crush on Poppy.Sven studied Brandon but didn't notice anything unusual. They probably spent so much time together simply because they lived next door.Besides, Poppy was sweet and adorable. It was hard not to like her. They really had lucked out with their neighbors.They had chickens, ducks, geese, and a larg

    "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

    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

    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
