All Chapters of The Apocalypse Survival Manual: Chapter 731 - Chapter 740

After the sandstorm, Marcus's car took in so much sand and dust that it eventually broke down, forcing him to walk the last few dozen miles to the military base.Eric gave him guns and medicine before he left, but Marcus ran into a group of robbers along the way. He fought hard enough to hold on to half his supplies, only to use up the rest over the next few months.Now, he was worse off than a beggar. He couldn't even afford a decent meal.Marcus didn't bother pretending he didn't need the help. He said to Nicole, "I'll treat it as a loan. I'll pay you back someday."He had no idea whether Eric made it safely to Jazenville or got caught in the volcanic eruption and sandstorms. So much time passed, and Marcus still hadn't heard a word from him.But worrying wouldn't change anything. Right now, he had no way to reach Jazenville or make it back to Westbridge.Nicole didn't feel like going back and forth with him. "Fine. Just remember, you owe me double."They still had scavenging

Nicole drove the truck while Zeph took the SUV. As soon as they left the base, they realized someone was following them.Neither of them panicked. They checked in over the radio, then split off in opposite directions.Kai hesitated for a second before shouting, "Split up! Don't lose either of them!"The truck and SUV looked filthy and worn on the outside, but both ran perfectly.Nicole pulled on body armor and a combat helmet, then stepped on the gas. She led the men chasing her around for a while before leaving them far behind.Once she reached a secluded ravine, she moved both herself and the truck into the storage space.The Cyclone Crew pushed their beat-up vehicle as hard as they could, only to reach the ravine and find nothing.The truck was gone.Before they could make sense of it, a gunshot cracked through the air, and everyone dove for cover.A moment later, they realized the shot had blown out one of their tires. For a second, they thought someone was shooting at the

When Nicole and Zeph pulled back the tarps, rows of sealed drums came into view, all caked in mud and rust. Some were badly dented, others bulged outward, and most looked like they had been through hell.The staff member stared at them. What was in these things?He hosed the mud off one drum and carefully scraped away some of the rust. A label slowly came into view.Titanium.He cleaned off several more.Tungsten. Beryllium.His eyes widened. They were all rare metals!The base had sent team after team out looking for materials like these, but no new source had turned up in a long time. Several factories were already close to shutting down.The staff member's jaw nearly dropped. "A-Are both trucks full of this stuff?""Yeah." Nicole wiped the grime from her face, looking tense. "Can you actually use it? We went through hell to get this stuff and traded almost everything we had for it. If it's no good, we're screwed."The drums were so old and beat-up that the staff member c

The woman's voice was sharp, and the contempt on her face was impossible to miss.Apparently, some things never changed. Even on a military base, there were still salespeople who looked down on anyone they thought couldn't afford what they were selling.Nicole couldn't help wondering how someone with that attitude even got hired.Then again, maybe she grew up around the military and got used to thinking she was better than everyone else.All four of them turned to look at the clerk.Nicole stared at her for a second. The woman looked strangely familiar.Then, it clicked. Wasn't she the rich girl who used to keep an alpaca?If Nicole remembered right, they were technically related, too. They even shared the same worthless mother.Nicole deliberately hadn't changed clothes in days so she would look like a scavenger who'd spent a long stretch outside. Her face was greasy and grimy, and her hair was a tangled mess.Zeph didn't look much better. He looked rough and weather-beaten,

When it came to Camila, Lillian was at a loss."Even if I don't care about Camilia, I still have to think about Commander Hunt. He's done a lot for the base, and he helped my husband more than once. I can't exactly report her over something like this."She sighed. "Forget it. She's clearly not cut out for working anyway. Sooner or later, she'll get tired of showing up and quit on her own.""How many jobs has she already bounced between? She causes trouble everywhere she goes." The clerk was thoroughly fed up. "We're the ones who keep getting stuck with it. You shouldn't have stepped in today. You should've let those people scare some sense into her. Maybe then she'd stop coming to work."Lillian gave a helpless laugh. "Alright, that's enough. Don't talk about people behind their backs. Just focus on doing your own job."With two free days ahead of them, Nicole took the submarine manual home so she could study it carefully.By the time the four of them got back to their detach
