All Chapters of The Apocalypse Survival Manual: Chapter 561 - Chapter 570

Even a small group could split into cliques.There hadn't been any problems before. Kyle had always treated Ethan and the others well, but lately, his attitude had changed completely.Yet whenever Ethan and the others tried to resign, he delayed approving their requests and rejected every replacement candidate they found. Then today, he suddenly agreed to let them leave.After listening, Nicole fell silent for a moment. "People stop caring once you're no longer useful to them. That's nothing unusual. Don't read too much into it. Collect the food you're owed and get home as quickly as possible," she said. "Alright. You and Mr. Dawson should be careful, too. We're leaving now," Ethan replied. The moment they were gone, Nicole's expression turned grim.She put up a warning sign, electrified the stainless-steel gate and perimeter fence, and then secured the heavy wooden door with five separate bolts.By the time she went back inside, Poppy had already made breakfast.Zeph notic

Besides, Dumbo, Cola's loyal sidekick, was still at the Robinsons' villa.Polar night was much harder to endure than polar day.During polar days, people only had to close the curtains. As long as they stayed inside the neighborhood, they were relatively safe. Polar night was different. Crime could hide anywhere in the darkness, and no one knew when or where danger might strike.Someone who smiled and greeted you every day could reveal a completely different side in the dark and turn a weapon on you without hesitation.The constant tension was almost unbearable.Suddenly, Jeremy's voice came through the radio. "Nicole, are you and Zeph alright?"Behind him came a deafening mix of crashes and shattering glass, some close and some far away, as though the entire city had erupted into chaos."We're fine," Nicole replied. "What about you?""Stay safe, and don't come outside unless you absolutely have to." Jeremy sounded frantic, struggling to catch his breath. "Everything's gone

Poppy nodded obediently. "Zeph, I'm not scared."Cola had a habit of wandering off, so Zeph fastened his bulletproof vest around him and gave a firm command. "Protect Poppy."Cola dragged his bed into her room and settled beside her to keep watch.The villa was well insulated, muffling most of the noise outside, whether it was screaming or cheering.Nicole tossed and turned, unable to sleep. "How did you survive this the first time?"Zeph rarely spoke about what had happened more than a decade ago, especially now that history was repeating itself. Still, he knew she needed to understand."The earthquake killed a lot of people, including police officers and soldiers. The country was devastated, but supplies weren't nearly as scarce as they are now. Once polar night began, everything fell apart. There was looting, violence, and arson everywhere. More police officers and soldiers were killed, and eventually..."The authorities had no choice but to use force to bring the riots under

Cola sensed the danger immediately. His fur stood on end, and a low growl rumbled in his throat.The four of them quickly put on bulletproof vests and helmets, then headed up to the roof.Through their night-vision goggles, they saw crowds pouring into the neighborhood like a flood, armed with knives, pitchforks, clubs, and anything else they could use as a weapon.Glass shattered. Doors splintered. Gates buckled under repeated blows.Screams, sobs, and cries of pain filled the air. The sounds blended together until the entire neighborhood seemed to have descended into hell.The Robinsons' villa at the center of the neighborhood became the first target.They were the richest family in Westbridge, always eating well, driving luxury cars, and flying around in a helicopter. Naturally, the mob wanted them first.The rioters charged the gate, only to scream when the electrified metal shocked them. They raised ladders and tried to scale the walls, but the electric fence sent them cras

Jasper nodded and gave Marcus an assignment. "These are extraordinary circumstances, and riots are breaking out across the city. I need you to take charge here. Organize the residents, have the HOA oversee the cleanup, and make sure the neighborhood remains secure."If anything happens, contact the police station. We'll get here as quickly as we can."With that, he gave Marcus a firm pat on the shoulder.The rioters had committed every crime imaginable, but Westbridge had been assigned only a limited number of troops, and they were responsible for maintaining order throughout the city.Brighton Estates was out of immediate danger, so the soldiers and officers had to move on. They didn't have the time or manpower to remain behind.Marcus wanted to ask Jasper to leave a few officers, but the request died on his lips.He might have tried it with someone else, but Jasper would never misuse his authority as a personal favor.For the first time, Marcus felt the full weight of his po
