Nicole blinked in surprise. The guy used to be in special operations. She wasn't even sure she could hold her own against him.

Still, backing down wasn't her style. You only get better by going up against someone stronger.

"Alright, let's do it."

Truth was, Beatrice had wanted to challenge him for a while, but she never found the right moment. Nicole hadn't expected the chance to fall right into her lap.

After a quick greeting, Nicole didn't hold back. She stepped in and threw the first pun

  • The Apocalypse Survival Manual   Chapter 810

    Luckily, Zeph hadn't taught Poppy much about natural disasters. Still, he cringed at his own explanation. "The currents around here are complicated. Another one probably pushed the storm away. We still need to be careful, though. It could come back, so we're staying in the escape capsule today."Nicole pulled some boxed meals from her bag. "Let's eat first. We need to keep our strength up."Poppy was smart, but she had led a sheltered life. Watching so many people go down with their ship, helpless against the storm, shook her so badly that she could barely eat.Natural disasters were merciless, and she had to learn to live with them.Zeph handed Poppy a cup of warm chamomile tea. "Try to get some rest."She drank it and closed her eyes, still holding tight to Zeph's hand.Late that night, she seemed to have a nightmare. She mumbled in her sleep, her body twitching as sweat beaded on her forehead.Nicole put the escape capsule away and moved everyone, including Poppy and Cola,

    The kitchen grew dim. Poppy glanced up, always alert to changes around her, but nothing seemed wrong.Then she looked farther out and nearly dropped her spatula. She blinked, certain her eyes were playing tricks on her, but the sight remained.Cola's frantic barking jolted Nicole awake. She sat bolt upright, then raced outside with Zeph.From the deck, they saw enormous waves churning in the distance.Along the horizon, walls of water more than 100 feet high surged toward them, threatening to crush everything in their path. Yet the sea around their ship remained perfectly calm.A violent storm was bearing down on them.Clouds churned across the distant sky like spilled black ink, blotting out the light in seconds. Purple lightning ripped through them and struck the ocean with a deafening crack.Flash after flash lit the darkness. Green, blue, and purple bolts tangled across the sky, threatening to tear it apart, their brilliance outshining any fireworks display.Thunder crack

    More screams rang out. Someone lost an arm to a single bite, then vanished beneath the surface.The moon cast a faint light over the water. Screams pierced the darkness as creatures darted beneath the waves, tearing into flesh.Blood spread through the sea. One person suffered a bite to the hand, another had a leg torn apart, and others went under and never resurfaced.As one man thrashed for his life, his hand struck something solid. He ran his hand along the curved surface, and a passing flashlight beam revealed a large sphere.It was an escape capsule. Hope surged through him, and he pounded on the shell. "Help! Help!"Nicole felt the blows, but they barely rocked the capsule. The curtains covered the windows, blocking the view in both directions.The escape capsule was a considerable step down from the cruise ship. Still, the four of them were used to moving between vessels by now. While the people outside fought for their lives in the ocean, they enjoyed hot meals and sh

    Nicole left Zeph to it and went back to figuring out how to use the medical equipment.All four of them had something to keep them busy.After watering the planters, Poppy stretched, then spotted something in the sky. "Zeph, there's another parachute! There are a bunch of people on it!"It was beautiful, a bright patchwork of colors. Hopefully, this one wouldn't land on their ship, too.Zeph looked up and smiled. "That's a hot-air balloon. Hot air is lighter than cold air, so heating the air inside makes it rise."Poppy was a bright kid, but there was still so much she had never seen. "Do they live up there all the time?""No. They'll come down once they run out of fuel."Poppy studied the people through her binoculars. They waved frantically at the cruise ship, their mouths moving as they shouted.Zeph had taught her how to read lips, but she couldn't make sense of the words. They seemed to be speaking another language.He also warned her not to count on strangers to look out

    Each of the five military bases had its own mission. The southern base was tasked with preserving the seeds of civilization, while the eastern base was responsible for building a new home.They spent years developing materials and equipment tough enough for offshore construction and assembling a vast naval fleet. When the tectonic plates collided, that fleet fought to stay afloat through the resulting tsunamis.Many of their best people died, but the core construction team survived.They crossed the vast ocean, working day and night through wind and waves to survey potential sites and run tests. At last, they found a stretch of solid bedrock suitable for building a settlement at sea.Once completed, the offshore base would house roughly 100 thousand people. Construction was already underway.The pilot's mission was to find their fellow citizens. Military personnel, government officials, ordinary survivors, anyone who shared their heritage was welcome to help build their new home.

    Nicole looked up. A fighter jet approached, trailing thick black smoke.The light gray aircraft rolled, revealing the familiar insignia of the national air force.Back home, she might not have given it a second thought. But out here, drifting aimlessly across the ocean, the sight made her chest tighten.The jet flew dangerously low, smoke billowing from its tail. Something was badly wrong.Below it lay nothing but ocean. There was nowhere to land.As she watched, the pilot ejected and dropped through the air. A moment later, his parachute opened.The jet kept tumbling, leaving curls of black smoke in its wake before plunging into the distant sea.Nicole raised her binoculars. It struck nose-first, the impact driving it deep into the water. Less than two minutes later, the tail slipped beneath the surface.She turned her binoculars back toward the sky, searching for the pilot.Of course. He was drifting straight toward her cruise ship.He wore an air force uniform, but she dre

    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

    "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
