Chapter 833

Author: Ada Plus
Nicole couldn't afford to dismiss the possibility. More than 200 countries existed before the disasters, and neither their people nor their governments would give up on survival easily.

"But why watch us?" Nicole frowned. "To see me and Poppy eat snacks?"

"Maybe I'm just on edge," Zeph admitted.

Still, caution kept them alive this long. They took a few last breaths of fresh air, then went below and submerged.

Zeph wasn't willing to risk staying nearby. He and Nicole steered away while Poppy

    The idea made sense once Nicole thought about it.Whales were intelligent animals. Some approached people for help with tangled ropes, fishing nets, or other things they couldn't remove themselves.Blue circled the submarine, letting out low, mournful calls. After using their hull to scrape off its barnacles so often, it might have come to associate them with relief.Nicole hesitated.Blue was enormous even before accounting for its mutations. Getting close to it was dangerous enough. Pulling a harpoon from its back would mean risking a panicked reaction from an animal that could kill them with one movement.But it kept bumping the hull, each impact harder than the last. If they ignored it, the pain might make it even more frantic.Nicole quickly weighed their options. The submarine could reach 30 knots, a little faster than an ordinary blue whale at a sprint.But Blue was far from ordinary. They had no way to know how fast it could swim now.Neither she nor Zeph wanted to risk

    Nicole couldn't afford to dismiss the possibility. More than 200 countries existed before the disasters, and neither their people nor their governments would give up on survival easily."But why watch us?" Nicole frowned. "To see me and Poppy eat snacks?""Maybe I'm just on edge," Zeph admitted.Still, caution kept them alive this long. They took a few last breaths of fresh air, then went below and submerged.Zeph wasn't willing to risk staying nearby. He and Nicole steered away while Poppy and Cola watched through separate viewing windows.Nothing unusual appeared, but they traveled more than 100 nautical miles before stopping.By nightfall, the water outside was pitch-black.Nicole sat in their bedroom, turning the pages of a magazine without absorbing any of it. "Do you think it's only gonna get worse?"She meant the threat from other survivors. Zeph saw little reason to expect otherwise.Even before the land sank, desperate people committed terrible acts. Most government

    Before Nicole, Zeph knew little about periods. Nine years together changed that.Nicole nodded. "Yes. Poppy's growing up."Zeph fell quiet. He was happy for Poppy, but the realization came with an unexpected pang."What's wrong?" Nicole brushed his chin. "Aren't you glad she's growing up?""Of course. I just don't know where the time went."She smiled. "You sound like a dad who just realized his little girl will leave home someday."Zeph opened his mouth, hesitated, then admitted, "That's about right. I guess that makes you her mom."Still, seeing Poppy grow up was something to celebrate. Their parents would have been happy to see her now, too.Raising a child through years of disasters was no small achievement. Poppy was turning into a wonderful young woman, and Nicole deserved much of the credit.He pulled her close and kissed her. "Thank you. For everything you've done for us."Nicole smiled against his mouth. "How are you planning to thank me?"He kissed her again, more

    Nicole felt guilty. With everything she taught Poppy over the years, she somehow overlooked the changes the girl could expect from her own body.Poppy was almost 15. She should have known what a period was before getting her first one."You're not sick," Nicole reassured her. "You've started your period. It's a normal part of growing up."Hearing his sister cry, Zeph came out of his room. "Poppy, what's wrong?"Poppy knew little about how her body worked, but she knew enough to feel embarrassed about discussing this with her brother. She stumbled over her words, then burst into fresh tears.Her underwear felt wet. Mortified that he might notice, she ducked behind Nicole."She's alright," Nicole told him firmly. "We just need some privacy. Let me handle this."Zeph looked from one to the other, clearly confused. He scratched his head and went back to his room.Nicole took Poppy to her room and explained what was happening. "As you go through puberty, you start getting a period

    The worse Poppy felt, the more she dwelled on the past.Memories from the last several years kept coming back to her. Without Nicole's guidance, she might still be trying desperately to please everyone, going along with whatever they wanted and keeping her feelings to herself. Back then, she couldn't even open up to Zeph.Nicole helped her break those habits, become more confident, and grow closer to Zeph.Poppy wrapped her arms around her. "I'm really glad it wasn't you."Nicole hugged her tightly, too choked up to answer.Over the next few days, Poppy's condition continued to fluctuate. Nicole and Zeph took turns at her bedside, watching for the slightest change.At one point, her condition became so precarious that they nearly needed an emergency injection to keep her heart going.After five days, her fever finally broke.Poppy was noticeably thinner. Nicole and Zeph each lost several pounds, too, and even Cola barely touched his food.Nicole checked everything she could.

    Nobody could prepare for every disaster. No matter how carefully people planned, nature could undo it all in an instant."Nicole, if you ever lose any of us, promise me you'll keep going," Zeph said. "Don't blame yourself for things you couldn't prevent. You've already done more than anyone could ask. Every extra day we have together is a gift."Nicole clung to him, tears sliding silently down her cheeks.Zeph bowed his head and gently wiped them away. "What happened to the Nicole who wasn't scared of anything?""She's scared now."He kissed her forehead. "That's okay. I'm here. We're all still here."Zeph stayed with Poppy through the night so Nicole could rest. He was still awake when she came to relieve him at dawn."Go get some sleep," she told him.Poppy's fever kept coming back, and her voice was hoarse.Nicole gave her antiviral medication and herbal remedies, hoping they would help her recover. She also administered several bags of IV fluids.After half a bowl of chic

    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

    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
