The Apocalypse Survival Manual (Three Days Before Doomsday, I Stockpiled Billions) novel Chapter 670

-Chapter 570

Nicole made a special trip to the alternative medicine research institute.

Mitchell and the others had been through a rough stretch, but fortunately, the glass greenhouse was still standing.

Government crews had built it with a carefully designed support structure, and it held up through wave after wave of acid rain. The medicinal herbs inside stayed well protected.

Nicole hadn’t seen them in more than six months, so she brought everyone a few gifts. Whiskey for Wesley, sugar for Mitchell, cigarettes for Howard, along with some aged rice, cured meat, and a few other things.

She didn’t bring too much. Everything stayed within a reasonable amount.

Howard seemed much more cheerful now. Nicole had no idea whether he had finally gotten over Valerie, and she had enough sense not to ask.

According to Marcus, though, Valerie was apparently pregnant again.

Good. Let those two stay tangled up with each other and stop dragging anyone else into their mess.

Seeing that everyone was doing alright, Nicole returned to Westbridge feeling reassured.

The disasters were getting worse, but the authorities believed the predictions and had spent years preparing. Hopefully, when the tectonic collision finally came, they could help more people survive

People like Wesley and Mitchell were almost certainly high on the government’s protection list. Nicole didn’t need to worry too much about them.

With the acid rain finally over, quite a few homeowners started repairing and reinforcing their villas, hoping to make them stronger before the next disaster hit. Then again, hopefully, there wouldn’t be another disaster at all.

Nicole had a little liquor that night and slept unusually deeply.

Bang!

It felt like something massive had slammed into the ground. The solid bed beneath her shook violently.

Nicole’s ears rang as she shot upright.

For one terrifying moment, she thought the tectonic collision had started.

But that made no sense. The acid rain had only ended a few days ago. According to Zeph’s memories, the collision shouldn’t happen for almost another two years.

Zeph woke at the same time and immediately turned on the light.

Their eyes met, and they both jumped out of bed and started getting dressed.

Poppy was awake as wet!. She quickly pulled on her clothes and strapped her emergency pack onto her back.

Marcus didn’t know.

Something had somehow smashed through half the villa. Eric got startled, fell, and hit his forehead, while Jason and his family were still trapped under the rubble,

“Don’t panic. Get him somewhere safe, and don’t move him unless you have to.”

So it was a false alarm. That earlier impact hadn’t come from tectonic movement. Something had hit the Robinson villa hard enough to bring part of it down.

More than half the supplies in Nicole’s storage space had come through the Robinsons, and Marcus and Eric had helped Villa 50 plenty over the years. She had to go see what happened.

She took out the survival pod and set it up on the first floor, then had Poppy and Cola go inside.

Zeph told Poppy, “Buckle yourself in and stay with Cola. No matter what happens, don’t come out. Nicole and I are going to check on the Robinsons. We’ll be back.”

Foppy looked worried. “Be careful.”

The two of them hurried toward the Robinson residence.

As they moved through the darkness, Nicole discreetly took surgical tools and emergency medicine out of the storage space and stuffed them into her backpack.
