The Apocalypse Survival Manual Chapter 398
Sven had his people start loading the goods onto the truck. Nicole arranged to deliver the water the next night.Given their history, Sven agreed without hesitation. "I'll look into the iodine tablets, but they're not easy to find. It might take some time.""That's fine. I'll trade grain when you have them."The mention of grain gave Nicole another idea. "By the way, can you find grain seeds? Ones we can harvest and replant ourselves."She still had a few hundred pounds of hybrid rice seeds in storage. They might have research value. She didn't want to waste them."It's been two years," Sven said. "Those kinds of seeds are hard to find now. Even if you do find them, there's no guarantee they'll sprout."Nicole started the truck. "Do what you can."She drove off, stopped somewhere secluded, and stored the water tanks. The rest she took back to Oakhaven Gardens in plain sight.After delivering Sven's half truck of water, she stopped going out at night. It looked like she spent he

Alex looked genuinely pleased. "Nicole, we reached an agreement with the townspeople. We're sending people to teach them how to dig wells."If the two of them hadn't stepped in that day and shut down the aggression, there would have been no way to sit down and talk.After going back and forth, the townspeople finally believed Oakhaven Gardens was sincere about helping them.They had the upper hand, yet still chose to negotiate instead of escalating. Nicole couldn't help but respect that.Alex might come across as mild, but he knew how to think things through."That's good," Nicole said, then added, "Just be careful.""We wouldn't have gotten here this fast without your help."Nicole smiled. "You said it yourself, Captain Landon. Once we're here, we're on the same side. No need to be so formal."Back home, she told Zeph about it. He wasn't surprised. "Out here, strength decides everything. Someone like Alex, who chooses a different approach, is rare. It makes sense the towns

Zeph hadn't missed it. "Those are strategic supplies. Civilians can't buy them. They're controlled by specialized units."If they couldn't get them, then they would have to wait and see if an opportunity came up later.Nicole brought up another issue: water and power. It might sound like overthinking, but the concern stuck with her. After everything she had seen, nothing felt impossible anymore.Zeph thought it through. "It's not unreasonable. Space isn't an issue, so we can fill up the water tanks. If supply ever gets cut off, we'll be ready."That was exactly what she had in mind, which was why she asked Weasel to source more tanks. If water ever ran out, just thinking about the baths she had taken and the water she had traded away would be enough to haunt her.Power wasn't as urgent. They had solar generators and several diesel units, and aside from charging battery packs, they hadn't used much."I promised Weasel half a truck of water," she added. "But what we're getting in r

Honestly, Weasel didn't need to sound that professional.Still, they had worked together before. Business was business.Nicole pulled out a list. "Think you can get all of this?"Sliding steel doors, shade canopies, sealant, removable wooden flooring…He scanned it and grinned. Nicole always asked for the most random stuff. "Give me five days. I'll get it done. What are you trading?"Nicole looked at him. "What do you want?""What do I want?" He snorted. "Fresh water, of course."That was what everyone wanted most.Ever since she disappeared, their water business had fallen apart. His boss had been losing money every day, and his own cut had shrunk to almost nothing. His wife had already started complaining.Now that he had a chance, Weasel pushed his luck. "This isn't easy to get. I need two truckloads of water.""Say that again."Nicole gave him a flat look, like he had just said something unbelievably stupid. Did he really think she would fall for that?He shrank immedia

Nicole asked around and learned that a 16-ounce bottle of fresh water could be traded for one pound of sweet potatoes or regular potatoes.That was the reseller price.Some offered a full liter for just half a pound of grain, but the catch was whether you were willing to follow them somewhere private.Nicole had water stored, so she hadn't realized how severe the shortage had become. No wonder Oakhaven Gardens and the nearby towns were fighting over it.There were also people selling seawater. Survivors lined up with containers in hand.At first, Nicole thought it might be Sven's operation, but when she pushed through the crowd, she realized they were strangers.The water was hauled from the coast near Grayport. With the two criminal bases gone, there was no more extortion or toll collection, so more people had started transporting goods.Prices hadn't dropped, but they hadn't spiked either.One pound of food could be exchanged for half a bucket of seawater, and the sellers wou

Zeph didn't dodge the question. After a moment, he said, "Next time you have class, you can play with them. Half an hour. That's it."Poppy's eyes lit up. "Thanks, Zeph!""When you're with them, don't talk about anything at home, especially what we eat or how we live. If they keep asking or steer things that way, stop talking to them."Poppy nodded. "Got it."They washed up and sat down to eat.The heat made it easy to get sick, so Nicole made a simple meal: bean soup, meatballs, and vegetables. Everything had been cooked earlier, so there was no need to use the stove again.Zeph had only worked half a day and spent the afternoon resting at home.During their nap, he brought up his assessment. "From what I saw today, they're lacking in skill, but overall, they're decent. They work together."Nicole agreed. "That's because of Alex."If things held, this would become their new home.They woke after 3 p.m. and made a list of what they still needed.Nicole planned to head to the

By the time Nicole and Zeph made it back to the 18th floor, both of them were drenched in sweat.Nicole went into her storage space to shower before bringing the dog over to Zeph's apartment for dinner.Cola and Poppy had been stuck indoors all day. Even with the cooling fan running nonstop, they

However, the hospitals had run out of medicine long ago. Even if the couple got the child there, what were the chances anyone could still help?Still, they had no choice. As long as there was even the slightest hope, no parent would give up on their child.Hughie had only been joking earlier. None
The Apocalypse Survival Manual Chapter 270
Nicole's words scared Hughie so badly that his face turned pale. He immediately reached up to touch his cheek. "Ow..."Getting hit in the face by giant cockroaches had already been horrifying enough. Now he had learned the things had actually bitten him, too.What if his face got ruined? Beatric

Instead of agreeing with Nicole, Zeph actually looked a little guilty. "No."He wasn't into sweets, so he held a cup of coffee instead. "Honestly, I feel like I haven't been helping you enough."He was talking about the farming inside the storage space. Planting crops was exhausting physical wor
