In a world like this, eating someone else’s food was basically taking their life, even if Zeph had more than enough.

Nicole waited until he finished before speaking. “I still need to apply medicine on your shoulder.”

Her technique was solid, but Zeph looked a little stiff. “Poppy can help me later.”

“I’ll do it,” Poppy chimed in right away.

Nicole let out a quiet breath, grateful for the save.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Jeremy and Hughie were there to learn how to make bamboo arrows. Seeing Nicole didn’t surprise them at all. If anything, they exchanged knowing looks behind her back.

Zeph’s shoulder wasn’t fully functional, but it wasn’t useless either, so he started teaching in the living

room.

First, he cut the bamboo to even lengths, then shaved them round and heated them over a flame to toughen them up…

They picked it up fast. Both of them worked hard, hands moving nonstop.

Jeremy frowned. “Crossbows hit hard, but with everyone bundled up like this in winter, it’s hard to actually get through their clothes.”

“That’s why you train your aim. Go for the eyes.”

Jeremy froze. That was insane.

Eyes were tiny, and moving. No way he could pull that off.

But what choice did he have? All he could do was keep training. That was better than sitting around,

waiting to die.

Nicole eased the pressure a bit. “Face shots work, too. Scarves are thinner.”

That helped. The two of them finally relaxed. “Nicole, you’re the best.”

“Don’t compare yourselves to me. I’m aiming for the eyes.”

Jeremy went silent. He might as well just die from the stress.

It was freezing outside, but inside, the mood stayed light. The three of them joked around like they always had.

Zeph added a word here and there, while Poppy played with Cola nearby.

Hughie suddenly asked, “Zeph, got any spare thermal layers? Give us a couple. We’ll make you a custom

body armor in return.”

Zeph thought about it for a moment. “Alright.”

With more hands, the work went fast. Soon, they had a big bundle of bamboo arrows. But these things burned through quickly, so they would need to stock up over the next couple of days.

With his shoulder injured, sparring was off the table. Nicole went back home and started doing squats with Cola in her arms.

Halfway through, something felt off. She stopped and went straight back to Zeph. “I think Cola’s getting bigger.”

“He’s been training every day. Malinois build muscle fast.”
