Chapter 560

作者: Ada Plus
The neighbors once laughed at Villas 49 and 50 for being paranoid. Now, they couldn't have been more envious. The ten-foot stone walls topped with electric fencing looked safer than ever.

Before long, residents began approaching Sven, hoping to trade for enough construction materials to build walls around their own homes.

To their surprise, Sven turned them all down.

"I'm sorry, but the government took nearly every building material they could find for the new district. I don't have any conn

  • The Apocalypse Survival Manual   Chapter 562

    Nicole opened the blackout curtains and switched on every light in the house.She and Zeph had trained Cola for situations like this. From now on, guarding the villa was his job, and he needed to stay alert to anything happening outside.The world beyond the windows was unnervingly quiet. Even with the house lit as brightly as day, the silence left everyone on edge.Nicole picked up the radio and contacted Jeremy and the others.Diana answered. She and Beatrice were patrolling together.They were adults. If they had chosen to keep working during polar night, they must have considered the risks. Nicole spoke with Diana for a few minutes, reminded her to be careful, then ended the call.They were friends, but their circumstances were completely different. If they had any other choice, none of them would have risked going out. The last thing Nicole wanted to do was lecture them from the safety of her own home.She spent two hours reading a medical textbook, then sparred with Zeph

    Even a small group could split into cliques.There hadn't been any problems before. Kyle had always treated Ethan and the others well, but lately, his attitude had changed completely.Yet whenever Ethan and the others tried to resign, he delayed approving their requests and rejected every replacement candidate they found. Then today, he suddenly agreed to let them leave.After listening, Nicole fell silent for a moment. "People stop caring once you're no longer useful to them. That's nothing unusual. Don't read too much into it. Collect the food you're owed and get home as quickly as possible," she said. "Alright. You and Mr. Dawson should be careful, too. We're leaving now," Ethan replied. The moment they were gone, Nicole's expression turned grim.She put up a warning sign, electrified the stainless-steel gate and perimeter fence, and then secured the heavy wooden door with five separate bolts.By the time she went back inside, Poppy had already made breakfast.Zeph notic

"I'm sorry, but the government took nearly every building material they could find for the new district. I don't have any connections in that business. You'll have to ask someone else."He wasn't stupid. If every house became a fortress, where would the rioters turn once they started attacking the neighborhood?Besides, he wasn't lying. Westbridge's population was still growing, and construction materials were becoming harder to find by the day.-Nicole was still half asleep when she noticed how cold her hands and feet felt. She pulled the blanket higher, but the chill continued to seep in.Nicole switched on the

    Polar night would plunge the neighborhood into complete darkness. To improve security, the HOA proposed installing exterior lights at every house. The lights would make it easier for the guards to patrol and might discourage criminals from entering the area.Nicole didn't care what happened to strangers, but if one house was overrun, the rest could easily be next. She offered a suggestion. "Installing the lights beside the front doors isn't safe. If criminals get inside, they could smash them with a single rock. I suggest mounting them beneath the second-floor eaves and protecting them with metal cages."Her advice was ignored. Jocelyn still resented Nicole for refusing to treat her son and nearly letting him die. She didn't openly argue, but she acted as though Nicole hadn't spoken.Marcus, however, immediately supported the idea. "Nicole's right. We should do it her way."Jocelyn nearly choked with anger.As soon as the homeowners' meeting ended, Ethan hurried after Zeph and

    No one knew how long polar night would last, so Sven decided to follow Brandon's example and start growing vegetables and raising chickens and ducks. The more self-sufficient he could become, the better."You can raise them if you have the room, but I'll pass."Nicole already had plenty of fish and dozens of sheep. "The temperature swings are already this extreme during polar day. They could be even worse during polar night, so I'm not going to put in all that work for nothing."Sven still planned to get some. Since he wouldn't be going anywhere during polar night, he might as well give himself something to do.He asked Nicole for a good supply of vegetable seeds and planned to use both the backyard and the rooftop.If he couldn't get them to grow, he could ask Weasel and the others for help. Anything extra could be shared among them.After he left, Nicole contacted Hughie over the radio. "I heard polar night will most likely arrive within the next few months. Start stockin

    That thought made Nicole curious. "Do you know how to fly a helicopter?" she asked Zeph."Yes."Seriously, what kind of superhuman officer was he? Was there anything he couldn't do?"The department regularly selected its top officers for specialized training," Zeph explained matter-of-factly.Nicole tossed a snack at him. "Of course they did, Mr. Perfect."With neither of the little ones around, Zeph spoke without the slightest embarrassment. "I'm quite a catch, and I still fell for you. That must make you pretty special."Nicole stared at him. "When did you get so full of yourself?"After successfully making himself at home at Villa 50, the mastiff began showing up every day. Before long, he even started dragging Marcus along in his wheelchair.Nicole frowned at him. "You're still in this condition, and you keep parading around the neighborhood. Aren't you embarrassed?""You're the only person in this neighborhood who doesn't show me any respect," Marcus said.Nicole could

    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

    Nicole jolted, then immediately checked with her mind.The storage space was still there. The supplies were still there, too. She tested it; she thought of an item, and a coal briquette appeared in her hand.Sweeping the space again, she noticed the glowing timer had reset to zero.That was when

    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
