All Chapters of The Apocalypse Survival Manual: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

Following the direction of the shots, Zeph pushed through the brush and found two bodies on the ground.Nicole shone her flashlight over them and saw a single red mark between each man's brows.From the way they had fallen, one had been dropped instantly. The other had tried to get up and run.He had been quick, but not quicker than Zeph.A clean headshot in total darkness. What kind of aim was that? And he had been steady the whole time, while she had been worrying for nothing.The night was so dark that she could barely see her own hand. It was perfect for killing and making bodies disappear.Zeph dragged the bodies to the water and let the sea take them, then wiped away any traces before carrying Nicole on his back and continuing up the slope.They finally reached the coastal road, but Nicole didn't get down right away.She tilted her head and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Thanks for tonight."Without him, there was no way she could have taken that cruiser.Zeph paused. "D

After taking down the solar panels and storing them, Zeph and Nicole were about to head downstairs when the mushroom cloud suddenly spread outward as if it had burst. Lightning flashed wildly inside the clouds.A thunderstorm.Those rolling, swelling clouds were storm clouds.Dense streaks of lightning tore through them like a swarm, striking straight into the sea and weaving together into a blinding net.The flashes came again and again, high-voltage and relentless.This was no distant storm. It was right in front of them.Nicole's scalp tingled. Her heart clenched.People liked to call the ocean a mother, but now it had turned without warning. With a display like this, it wouldn't stop at wind and rain.Running wasn't an option. No car, no matter how fast, could outrun the sea.What now?Nicole's thoughts raced.Then, something clicked. She reached into her storage space and pulled it out.An orange survival pod, more than nine feet across, appeared on the rooftop.Hop

Nicole hadn't liked it, but she and Zeph went out almost every day. If the guards decided to make things difficult, or worse, let refugees in to cause trouble, the losses would far outweigh the inconvenience.That wasn't an exaggeration. Two weeks earlier, one household had already been wiped out.The intruders had come and gone, as if they belonged there. The doors and windows were untouched, yet every supply inside had been cleared out. The owners didn't wake until noon the next day, only to find an empty house.No one was fooled. It had been an inside job. There was no way security hadn't been involved.But what could they do? There were no police anymore. When they tried to argue with the guards, they were thrown out.Luckily, Nicole had always been careful. She had set up an electric fence around the villa. Whenever the guards offered to help move supplies or showed unusual enthusiasm, she had turned them down.You never really saw what was in a person's heart. In a world

After setting up the rooms, Zeph, Nicole, and Cola had lunch inside the storage space. Poppy was still asleep in her room.Zeph knew time inside the space was limited, so he didn't rest. Instead, he helped Nicole harvest the soybeans in the black soil garden.The soybeans weren't fully grown yet. They were still in the edamame stage, leaves and pods bright green.Thinking about how long they might be stuck like this, Nicole decided to cook and freeze all of them. Later, when she was bored, she could snack on them.Cola had been watching. He started biting down on the soybean plants and yanking them out of the ground. He worked fast, though he scattered them everywhere.The dog clearly had a competitive streak.They picked the edamame, rinsed them, tossed them with seasoning, and set them on the stove to cook.After showing Zeph the steps, Nicole went back to the room to sleep. When she woke, it was around 5 p.m. She was about to turn over when she felt a hand at her waist.Zeph

Zeph had saved plenty of people back then, and it hadn't ended well for him.Nicole handed the medicine to Zeph. "Give him some water and get the pills down. I'll bring Poppy and Cola over."Zeph took the medicine and drew in a breath. "Thank you."Nicole gave him a light pat. "You're the one who stocked this. Don't thank me."By the time she carried Poppy back, Zeph had already gotten the soldier to take the medicine and was cleaning his wounds.Nicole took two beds and a lamp out of her storage space. Together, they lifted him onto one of the beds.Seeing the deep cut on his thigh, Nicole gave him an anesthetic, then took out her tools and cleaned and stitched the wound.The injury looked like it had been made by something sharp.Nicole took out a tetanus shot. Just like that, a yacht was gone.After finishing, she gave him something to bring down the fever.At some point, Poppy woke up. She sat on the bed, still groggy, rubbing her eyes. "Zeph... Nicole."Zeph brushed a h
