Chapter 479

Author: Ada Plus
"Ahem. Good thing you came when you did. There's only one villa left."

Nicole didn't believe that for a second. The best locations had obviously been set aside for people at the top.

The employee unfolded the site map. Nicole immediately pointed to the villa at the very center of the development. "I want that one."

The corner of his mouth twitched. "That one costs 500 thousand points."

Nicole, who had only 50 thousand, fell silent.

Fifty thousand versus five hundred thousand. The floor plan

    What a coincidence. Not only had they ended up in the same building, but Alex had been assigned Unit 303.Nicole was relieved. At least they wouldn't have to worry about terrible neighbors.She smiled. "Captain, you've got good taste. My relatives happened to buy Units 301 and 302.""We only got these because of your tip," Alex said. "Otherwise, we never would've moved fast enough to secure them."In the end, both sides had benefited. If Alex hadn't tipped Nicole off, she never would've gotten a villa, no matter how many points she earned.On the drive back, Isaac brought up installing solar panels and converting the rooftop terraces into vegetable gardens.With more than 100 mouths to feed, food, water, and daily necessities would always be their biggest concerns.When they arrived back at Oakhaven Gardens, Nicole said, "Captain Landon, thanks for looking out for us this past year. We'll be moving to the new district in a couple of days."Alex froze for a moment. "That soon?"

    With only two days left, there wasn't a moment to waste. Zeph and Nicole tilled the harvested cornfields and replanted them entirely with wheat.With a seeder and Zeph doing the work, the planting was finished in no time.The day they wrapped up, Nicole drove to the new district. At the entrance to Oakhaven Gardens, she happened to run into Alex and Isaac, so she offered them a ride.Traffic between the city and the new district had grown much heavier, and the roads had improved considerably. The drive took just over an hour.After dropping Alex and Isaac off at the administrative hall, Nicole and Zeph headed for the villa district.Nicole clicked her tongue. The elite really did get special treatment. The villa district even had paved concrete roads, with landscaped green belts lining both sides.Even among the upper class, though, there were levels.Nicole hadn't noticed it before, but the 500 thousand-point villa occupied the very center of the development. The main house alo

    Nicole looked up and spotted Lydia standing a few places ahead in line.Lydia quickly walked over. "What a coincidence. You're here to pick out a house, too?"Nicole nodded. "How's Gabrielle doing?""Much better." Lydia smiled brightly before lowering her voice. "It's all thanks to your medicine. My mom's cough is gone, her concussion symptoms have improved a lot, and she's feeling so much better now. I know medicine like that isn't cheap, and we don't have anything worth giving you right now. But once we've managed to save up some grain in a few months, we'll pay you back. Would that be okay?"Derek and Victor both had stable jobs. Once the research institute relocated, she would be able to return to work as well. As long as the family lived frugally, they would eventually save enough grain to repay the debt.Nicole had never planned to take anything from the Goodmans, but turning them down outright could easily make them feel they owed her nothing."No hurry. Get Gabrielle fu

    "Ahem. Good thing you came when you did. There's only one villa left."Nicole didn't believe that for a second. The best locations had obviously been set aside for people at the top.The employee unfolded the site map. Nicole immediately pointed to the villa at the very center of the development. "I want that one."The corner of his mouth twitched. "That one costs 500 thousand points."Nicole, who had only 50 thousand, fell silent.Fifty thousand versus five hundred thousand. The floor plans might be identical, but anyone with common sense knew the difference wasn't just on paper.The female employee circled three villas with her pen. "These are the ones you can choose from."Just as she had expected. They were the leftovers.There was nothing to complain about. Anyone who could afford a 500-thousand-point villa had almost certainly made exceptional contributions to the government.Nicole didn't waste time envying what she couldn't have. She pointed to the villa in the far cor

    The residents had kept their word. Every potato was in good condition, and the sizes were remarkably consistent.Including the seed potatoes, Nicole and Zeph received a total of 2,000 pounds of fresh potatoes.After checking everything over, Nicole returned the solar generator to Oakhaven Gardens.Just as they were about to leave, Alex stopped them. "The villas in the new district are almost finished. I was at the work center yesterday handling the grain payment paperwork and happened to see some wealthy people quietly picking out their houses."There are only 50 villas in the first phase, and building materials are in short supply. No one knows when phase two will even start. You two should get over there and choose one as soon as possible."Nicole froze. She had been too naive, waiting for the government's official announcement.The government could build villas when construction materials were so scarce because it had confiscated factories, land, and supplies from wealthy fa

    Nicole watched the entire battle through her binoculars. In the distance, dust clouds rose above the ruins.The cornfields ran red with blood, but the residents defending their homes had won.Quite a few people were injured, but the battle had been completely one-sided. Not a single thug got away.The remaining scavengers near the ruins were thoroughly shaken. No one dared push forward again, and they all fell back. Two hours later, they finally gave up and dispersed.By then, there wasn't a soul left in sight.Only after working up the courage did Alex lead a team to the ruins. What they found left everyone frozen in place. Then, one after another, they turned aside and vomited.After forcing themselves to regain their composure, they cleaned up the scene and collected the bodies scattered across the cornfields.Late that night, the radio crackled to life.Whether Zeph and Nicole cared to hear it or not, Alex wanted to thank them on behalf of everyone in Oakhaven Gardens.Kno

    "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's look alone was enough to stop the vultures in their tracks. With a gun in her hand, all they could do was watch the vehicle pull away.When Nicole's group got to the checkpoint at the base of the mountain, they realized the uniformed guards were gone.The sea still roared. Waves slammed i

    In the end, life and death leveled everyone.The wealthy residents had gone mad, but they underestimated the weight of the pod. It stood nearly ten feet tall and had been built for earthquakes and tsunamis. It was made from heavy materials, with a large capacity, and weighed several tons.Still, e

    Seeing the look on Nicole's face, Zeph tried to reassure her. "You don't need to worry. Cola's smart. Dogs are the most loyal partners humans have. I don't think he'll lose himself."Nicole wasn't so sure. The deep freeze would last a full year, and when Cola died saving her last time, it had only
