Chapter 616

Penulis: Ada Plus
Mitchell's office was simple. His clothes and bedding were piled in one corner, and the room was a little cluttered, making it obvious that he practically lived there.

Nicole hadn't brought only medicinal herbs. She also brought him a bottle of well-aged whiskey.

Whiskey kept for years as long as the bottle remained sealed, but she deliberately scuffed up the label and box to make it look like it had been stored away for a long time.

Knowing Mitchell might refuse it, Nicole had already prepar

  • The Apocalypse Survival Manual   Chapter 882

    The object in Nicole's pocket pushed against the fabric, outlining a shape that looked an awful lot like a gun.Everyone quickly found somewhere else to look. No one was about to bother her now.Anyone who managed to stay well-fed these days probably wasn't someone to mess with. Trying to take advantage of them could get a person killed.The ferry made good time, reaching Platform A ten minutes before Zeph's shift started. He went straight to the administrative office to check in.One look at his boss made Nicole realize Zeph had told her a blatant lie. The man standing in front of them was definitely not a woman.He came from the eastern military base's administrative department and appeared to be in his forties or fifties. Though thin, he stood with the straight-backed posture of a career military man.He didn't seem like the type to hire a man just for his looks.Nicole fully intended to bring this up with Zeph once they got home.Zeph led her over to his supervisor without

    Zeph continued, "Our country gives us a place to call home, but we can't just sit back and expect everyone else to take care of us. What happens if the government can't keep things running anymore? We all have to help rebuild. Yorwyn will only get stronger if every survivor does their part."Poppy nodded seriously. "Yeah, I understand.""But if work gets stressful or something's bothering you, don't keep it to yourself. We're family, and you can tell us anything. Nicole and I will help you work through it."Their talk left Poppy even more sure of her decision. "I can do this job. I know I can."Raising a kid took work. Once Poppy and both dogs were asleep, Zeph leaned over and whispered in Nicole's ear. "I'm gonna look for a job tomorrow. I need to set a good example for Poppy. If I spend all day sitting around, she'll think she can, too."Nicole gave him a kiss for following his own advice. "That's my man. I'm proud of you."She was happy to let him go out and work, but she pl

    Cola sniffed Poppy's clothes twice, then backed away, shaking his head in obvious disgust.Apparently, this version of Poppy wasn't worth keeping.Poppy's face fell.Nicole stepped over and gave his ear a light tug. "Go on. Quit picking on her."She turned to Poppy, trying not to smile. "You don't smell. Zeph and I can't smell a thing. Cola's just messing with you."Poppy sniffed her clothes again, then finally perked up. "You're so mean, Cola."He wagged his tail and caught her pant leg between his teeth, his mouth stretched in a doggy grin. Now that he was done teasing her, he wanted to play.Since she skipped lunch, Poppy made herself eat despite her poor appetite. She managed about half her usual dinner.Platform B had a seawater filtration system, but fresh water remained scarce. Everyone got half a bucket a day, and they could collect it only during set hours.Anyone hoping to bathe had to save up their allowance. The communal bathing facilities and toilets were on the f

    One look at the painfully thin Stella and Lucas silenced Weasel's objections. "Well, we've got it now. I'll keep an eye out for something Nicole could use."He couldn't take Nicole's help for granted the way he did Sven's. Somehow, he hoped to return the favor.His thoughts drifted back to business as he considered the herb seeds. "Think you can grow these? People always need medicine. If you have extra seedlings, I could trade them," he said."I'll try," Stella replied. "If I need help, I'll ask someone at the growing center."-Poppy woke early, excited for her first day. Then she remembered what the job involved, and her enthusiasm dimmed.After breakfast, she headed out. Zeph walked her to the door. "Do your best."Poppy shouldered her backpack and went downstairs to the growing center.Nicole settled in with a medical book and Cola beside her, stroking his fur as she read. Zeph went downstairs to collect seabed soil for their potatoes.The morning flew by. Nicole le

    Finding a suitable site for the settlement cost the eastern military base dearly.The search used so much fuel that flights and surface patrols had to be scaled back. What remained was needed for construction.As more submarines arrived, the base put those with nuclear reactors to work searching for survivors.Sawyer and his crew took on the assignment. Their recent patrols took them more than 500 nautical miles from the settlement, where they gave directions to any Yorwynian survivors they found.Now, they were back for some time off.After parting ways with Nicole's group, Sawyer's crew headed for the coordinates. The journey was anything but uneventful.Without the supplies Nicole and Zeph gave them, especially the precious medicinal herbs, they might never have made it.They caught up as they walked, smiling and talking eagerly.Once they reached Platform A, Sawyer and his crew went to report in. Nicole's group headed to the information desk.In a place where a well-fed fa

    Once aboard the submarine, Nicole brought out a pot of beef stew from her storage space.Tender chunks of marbled beef, potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms filled the thick, savory gravy.Fish stayed off the menu. Nicole wanted nothing to do with it for the rest of her life.After so many bland meals, every bite was a treat. Nicole poured Poppy a small glass of red wine. "To your first job. Go show them what you can do."Poppy grinned. "Thanks, Nicole."For Cola, Nicole brought out a drumstick and pulled the meat off the bone. "Here you go. Let it cool a little."Cola barked, his tail wagging furiously.After two days of staying quiet in cramped quarters, he was ready to let loose. He tore up and down the submarine's passageway, barking and howling as much as he pleased.They took their time eating, stretching the meal out for nearly two hours.Pleasantly tipsy, Nicole rinsed her mouth and dropped onto the bed for a nap.Poppy washed the dishes, while Zeph sipped coffee by the

    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
