The Apocalypse Survival Manual Chapter 466
The weather had turned cold. After a quick good night, everyone ducked into their tents to sleep.Nicole wasn't in a rush, but camping could never compare to home. The sooner they finished, the sooner they could leave.After two hours of sleep to recover their strength, everyone packed up their tents and went back to searching for herbs.The higher they climbed, the fewer herbs they found.Near the summit, they saw the crater lake left behind by a volcanic eruption millions of years ago. Everything around it was withered and barren.Years ago, when the water level was high, this place had hosted an international parade every other year, drawing tourists from around the world.Now, only dead branches and fallen leaves remained. The world no longer looked anything like it had before.They reached the summit. An old building stood there, but it had long since crumbled, leaving broken stone scattered across the ground. In every direction, all they saw was ruined land.Mitchell stoo

Traveling with Mitchell's group slowed Zeph and Nicole down, but it also made the trip much more productive. Zeph thought it over for a moment before saying, "We still haven't found everything. We'll head back tomorrow."The group continued up the mountain at an easy pace.Halfway up, Mitchell's eyes suddenly lit up. "Zeph, this is it! The white ridgeflower you're looking for!"There was only one seedling, smaller than half a palm. It was still too young to use as medicine and needed at least another six months of careful cultivation.Mitchell dug it out with extreme care and handed it to Zeph, explaining how to raise it as he worked.They rested when they got tired and added or removed layers whenever the weather shifted. By the end, it looked less like hiking and more like they were doing quick changes backstage.At noon, it had been close to 104 degrees. Now, before night had even fallen, the temperature had dropped to nearly freezing.The herbs were too valuable to risk, a

"Alternative medicine research?" Nicole looked surprised. "Then you must know a lot about medicinal herbs."Mitchell shook his head. "Some. More than most people."Zeph had spent the past few months buried in books on medicinal herbs. If he brought these people over, he had probably already tested them.Even so, Nicole wasn't about to trust them blindly. "We're here looking for medicine, too. A lifesaving herb for some wealthy clients. I think it's called white ridgeflower. Do you know what it does?"It wasn't a common plant. Anyone who didn't truly understand medicinal herbs wouldn't be able to answer."White ridgeflower, also known as ridgeking. The root is mainly used for bruises, venereal disease, arthritis, tuberculosis, whooping cough..."Mitchell didn't just list its effects. He explained how it was used, where it grew, and what kind of environment it preferred.Nicole listened for a while and could tell he knew his field.The group had come out here on pure determinatio

Nicole heard Zeph out, but she didn't back down. "The conditions were terrible back then. Even if it used to grow there, it might have died off."Things were different now. After so many waves of disaster, the world had finally been given a little room to breathe. Even wild greens had started growing along the Westbridge River.Even if they didn't find that specific herb, they might find others. The trip wouldn't be wasted.After all, the medicine she and Zeph had stockpiled was limited. It couldn't cover every possible illness. Sickness didn't wait for a convenient time. What if they got sick one day and needed something they didn't have?Besides, lying around every day had gotten old. They could go out, look for medicine, and stretch their legs at the same time. Why not?Zeph agreed.There was no point waiting for another day, so they left right away.Nicole opened the rabbit hutch. "Do you want to come with me or stay home?"Maybe she was imagining things, but ever since s

Woodworking took time and effort. Once the cost of tung oil was included, Tom asked for eighty pounds of sweet potatoes.Nicole pretended to think it over before nodding. "Alright."Two days later, she drove over in a truck and unloaded the timber at the entrance to Building 3. "My friend wants wooden boats, too, plus buckets and basins."As things kept changing, it was getting harder to bring out anything high-tech. She had to rely on old-fashioned supplies to keep up appearances.Another 160 pounds of sweet potatoes were enough to make Tom grin from ear to ear. He called his son over right away to help.They agreed to deliver the order in two batches, the first in two weeks and the second in four.Nicole had to admit the boats were well made. The planks were thick, the structure was sturdy, and the finish was smooth. Even the oars had been sealed with tung oil.She tested them in her storage space. Not a drop leaked in.So she went back to Tom. "My friend resold the boats a

Before bed, Nicole took out a blanket for Poppy. "Use this tonight if you get cold."The radio had been broadcasting updates on schedule. They hadn't heard Alex over the loudspeaker, probably because the radio had died, so Zeph relayed the message. "The weather agency says polar day's here. The temperature's going to swing hard between morning and night."A moment later, the loudspeaker crackled back to life, reminding everyone to layer up and use blankets so they wouldn't get sick.It wasn't an empty warning. If someone fell ill and their body gave out, that was it.Nicole slept through the night. When she woke, a blanket had been tucked over her.She glanced at the thermometer on the wall. Sixty-eight degrees.The spot beside her pillow was empty. Zeph was already up.She pulled the curtains open. As expected, she found him on the terrace working out with Cola. Even Poppy was out there.Right. She had gotten lazy.It was 68 in the morning, 99 by noon, and 64 at night. Th

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
