The Apocalypse Survival Manual Chapter 474
By the time Nicole woke up on her own, it was already 10 a.m.After washing up and eating breakfast, she picked up "The Herbal Canon" again, but no matter how hard she looked, she still couldn't identify the two herbs they had brought back from Mount Cedar.What exactly were these plants? How could they be so mysterious?Unwilling to give up, she dug through the pharmacology references she had downloaded before the disasters, only to end up even more frustrated.Forget it. The important thing was keeping them alive. Sooner or later, she would find out what they were.Since she only had two specimens, Nicole treated them like priceless treasures and carefully transplanted them into the black soil garden.She also planted the 100-plus medicinal herbs they had collected from Mount Graypine, grouping them by type before recording each one's medicinal properties in her notebook.Collecting a large variety of herbs didn't mean they had every remedy they might need.Nicole made a list

It was a harsh reality, but reality often was.The military base was humanity's seed base. It accepted only the most capable survivors with the fewest dependents.That made the population easier to manage and gave humanity the best chance of surviving whatever disasters came next.Nicole accepted Zeph's explanation. "Maybe they're doing just fine at a government-run base."Whether she was comforting herself or refusing to believe the worst, it was easier to hold on to that hope.Now that they had found the herbs, they turned the Hummer around and headed back to Westbridge.The vehicle climbed mountains, crossed rough terrain, and plowed through every obstacle in its path. Six hours later, they arrived safely back at Oakhaven Gardens.They had been gone for several days. She couldn't help wondering whether the rabbits had survived.The moment she opened the door, she found them alive and well. Better yet, they were nothing like the aloof rabbits she had left behind. Every one of

They climbed out of the SUV and stretched until the post-meal sluggishness wore off. Then Zeph asked, "Head back to Westbridge?"Nicole thought it over for a moment. "We're not far from the military base. Why don't we stop by and see how Hughie and the others are doing?"Surviving was instinct. Caring about the people they loved fulfilled a different human need.Since they were already nearby, they might as well stop in and check on them. It would give her some peace of mind.Zeph had no objections.The four of them got back on the road. The highway leading to the military base was much broader, and they passed several battered vehicles heading the other way.Nicole guessed they belonged to base residents out scavenging for supplies to earn points.The imposing Hummer drew plenty of curious and envious glances, but no one dared make trouble this close to military territory. With the roads in good condition, they covered the 18-mile drive in no time.Before long, the military

Once everyone steadied themselves, Nicole's group decided to keep climbing.Zeph stayed as cautious as possible, steering clear of every spot where rocks had fallen or the slope had given way last time.They hit danger several more times, but each time, they got through it without any real trouble.After 26 hours of climbing through a full day's worth of wild temperature swings, they finally reached the summit.Clouds drifted beneath their feet, and weathered pines clung stubbornly to the cliffs. Layers of mist slipped between the mountain peaks, turning the landscape almost unreal. Nothing about it looked like a world devastated by endless disasters. It looked untouched.Poppy had never seen anything like it. Even Cola stood there stunned. It was his first time, too.Zeph didn't stop to admire the view. He scanned the area instead. Soon, his gaze fixed on a patch of green growing from the cliff.It had sprouted at the base of a withered vine, only a few inches tall, so fragil

If they ran into danger, Nicole could pull everyone, rope and all, into her storage space at once.They climbed over rocks, crossed streams, stepped onto soft ground, and watched loose dirt cave in while stones tumbled down the slopes. Two tense hours later, they reached the depths of the valley without any real danger.Compared with five years later, the valley looked withered and desolate, with almost no green in sight.Zeph grew worried. Finding the herb five years later didn't mean they could find it now. It might not have sprouted yet.He searched the area, but found nothing.Nicole scanned the ground as well. "Don't rush. We'll take our time."They used trekking poles to push through dead leaves and weeds, searching for tiny green shoots that would be easy to miss.Two hours later, Nicole spotted a short seedling that looked almost exactly like wyrmleaf.After checking it again and again, she and Zeph were sure. It was wyrmleaf, a seedling that had only recently broken th

There was no time to run. Some were blown apart, others thrown into the air, bodies scattering like fireworks.The group behind the Hummer saw everything. Shock held them in place for one brief second before they scattered like startled birds.The Hummer rolled forward and stopped smoothly in front of the spike strip.Once they were sure no one nearby was watching, Nicole and Zeph put on bulletproof vests and steel helmets before getting out.The spike strip was well made. It would make a useful trap back home.Nicole couldn't bring herself to leave it behind, so she and Zeph lifted it onto the roof together and tied it down tight.Then, they kept driving.They ran into two more groups along the way, but neither had many people or heavy weapons. Once they saw the Hummer bearing down on them like a war vehicle, they hesitated for a long time and never dared to surround it.Mount Cedar was about 20 miles from Halloway.After leaving the highway, they drove slowly toward the moun

Just after midnight, the timer refreshed. One hundred thirty minutes remaining.That meant time could stack.Nicole nearly laughed out loud. Seconds mattered. During crucial moments, even a minute could mean the difference between living and dying.She decided that unless it was absolutely necess

Nicole jolted, then immediately checked with her mind.The storage space was still there. The supplies were still there, too. She tested it; she thought of an item, and a coal briquette appeared in her hand.Sweeping the space again, she noticed the glowing timer had reset to zero.That was when

After paying the deposit, Nicole drove straight to the largest outdoor gear store downtown.The outdoor gear market was fiercely competitive. The store was in full clearance mode, shutting down with brutal discounts. Some items were marked down to 20% of the original price.Perfect timing.Nicole

"Ah!"Nicole Floyd jolted upright in bed, gasping. Sweat streamed down her forehead, her eyes unfocused and hollow.The sight in front of her cut through the haze in her mind.This was her old apartment, the one from before the apocalypse.Ding, ding…Text alerts kept chiming. She grabbed her p
