Chapter 8

Auteur: Ada Plus
"There's nothing at home. I'll be fine as long as I'm careful," Zeph said.

Nicole hesitated, then agreed.

If he had supplies, she would be safer. Better for him to go out and look than to start eyeing what she had.

He glanced around the living room of 1801. "Thanks for looking after Poppy."

"You helped me yesterday. It's only fair," Nicole said.

Nicole was cautious by nature. She had already hidden her stockpiles. The kitchen only had a few low-key items like squash and cabbage.

Zeph no

  • The Apocalypse Survival Manual   Chapter 30

    The crowd kept rushing in. Some went for the supplies. Others went straight for the inflatable raft.No matter how good Beatrice was in a fight, two fists couldn't hold off four hands. Part of the supplies got snatched, and her hand was slashed. Someone even tried stabbing the inflatable raft directly."If that inflatable raft hadn't been puncture-resistant, we probably wouldn't have made it back," she said.The world felt too unfamiliar. Beatrice leaned against Hughie, exhausted, and started to doubt human nature itself.Nicole didn't know how to comfort her.The apocalypse had only just begun.Before they could even catch their breath, there was knocking downstairs.Not just one or two people, but a whole mass of them. At a glance, there had to be dozens, packed so tightly that they filled the hallway all the way up to the 17th floor.Nicole frowned.Were they trying to force their way in?Beatrice's supplies were earned by risking her life, while these people were too sc

    This was the truth of human nature.People didn't fear scarcity. They feared unfairness.Everyone was trapped in the same disaster. So why did you get to look clean and well-fed while others starved?They didn't just refuse to help. They waited for the chance to rob the moment the two of them got close.Nicole carried two knives: a heavy cleaver in her left hand and a narrow boning knife in her right. She shoved through the crowd with a cold face and planted herself at the window, blocking the way.Both blades were sharp, the edges still stained with dried blood. That alone made people instinctively step back.Someone started to protest, but Zeph stepped up beside her. The two of them stood there like twin executioners, one on each side.Nicole swept her gaze across the crowd, taking in every expression, and said flatly, "Don't preach to me. If you want to curse me, fine. Try to rob us, and I'll cut each and every one of you."The 18th floor had a reputation. Everyone in the bu

    The man's assault boat was loaded down with supplies.These days, the more you had, the more dangerous it was.While visibility was still poor, Nicole slipped her hand behind her back and pulled two backpacks out of her storage space. Then, she paddled straight toward him.Judging by the build and height, it could only be Zeph. Even though he was wearing a raincoat and a mask, she recognized him instantly.No wonder Poppy looked so well-fed. As it turned out, he had been running shopping trips nonstop.Since they were doing the same thing, there was no reason to feel awkward.Zeph recognized Nicole, too, mask and all. In the pouring rain, he gave her a brief nod.After securing his assault boat, he reached out to help.Nicole didn't hesitate. She handed over the two waterproof backpacks, let him pull her up, then quietly stowed her inflatable boat.No one spoke. They carried and slung bags over their shoulders, moving lightly up the stairs.Zeph had a lot of supplies and woul

    The rooftop was empty, and the second floor was already more than halfway underwater.As Nicole left, she glanced at the Hummer she'd had her eye on in the parking deck.It was the same model as the one owned by Zeph. It had high clearance, insane torque, and aggressive lines. In an apocalypse, it was a real war machine, something that could smash an ordinary SUV aside without slowing down.Too bad her storage space couldn't take it. Compared to that, she chose the RV instead. It was more comfortable and versatile.She patted the hood, the feeling like cutting flesh from her own body. Before long, all these cars would be submerged and swept away by the flood. What a waste!The water level was rising fast, the current growing stronger. Inflatable rafts could easily get carried off.Nicole switched to the assault boat. There were plenty of submerged obstacles below, so she didn't dare push the speed.The city was swallowed by darkness. The waterproof headlamp had a limited range

    If Nicole's storage space were two orders of magnitude bigger, she would've been racing through the entire city, stripping it bare.Instead, all she could do was watch life-saving supplies sink beneath the floodwater, knowing that what followed would be people turning on each other, stabbing over a moldy piece of bread.Reality was brutal. She could only protect herself.She pulled her focus back and kept racing the rising water.Shampoo, body wash, soap, sanitary pads, disinfectant. Milk, yogurt, powdered milk, oat milk powder, protein shakes, instant oatmeal, pudding mixes, sugar in every form.The water was already up to her thighs. She didn't have time to check brands or pick favorites. Her hands swept the shelves fast. Like it or not, anything was better than feeding it to the flood.Canned food, trail mix, chocolate, energy bars, crackers, cheese, jerky, smoked meats, potato chips, and various snacks. Her storage space filled at a visible pace.She grabbed stacks of pasta,

    After some effort, Nicole managed to beach the inflatable raft on the driveway. She secured the raft, then followed the sloping road up to the rooftop parking deck.The parking deck was massive, packed tight with cars. Judging by the logos, most of them were high-end: Mercedes, BMW, Ferrari, and Lamborghini.Westbridge was full of wealthy families. Before the typhoon, they had probably driven their luxury cars up here to keep them from flooding.Nicole swept her flashlight across row after row.Her gaze locked onto a huge RV. One look at the emblem told her it was a top-tier model worth millions. It had a bullet-resistant body and glass, reinforced run-flat tires, and most importantly, a hybrid gas and electric system. The roof even had foldable solar panels.In an apocalypse, energy was everything. Gasoline became tightly controlled, and not just anyone could get it.An RV was a moving home. You could travel, live in it long term, and stay off the grid. This one checked every bo
