Apocalyptic World: Surviving with my husband and my cute little babies-Chapter 81: Act according to capability

Elena and Ethan were the first to arrive at their designated meeting point. They quickly scanned the surroundings to check for any nearby people.

After ensuring the area was clear, Elena then retrieved the RV.

They waited for a few minutes, and soon after, the others returned to the meeting point with distressed look on their faces.

Noticing their expressions, Elena had already sensed their predicament but chose not to ask questions. Instead, she waited for them to open up.

"Granddaughter, what do you think is the current situation in this city," Grandpa Caldwell asked, trying to gauge if they already know the situation around here.

"To be honest with you, Grandpa, we have seen worse in other cities. Here, things are more manageable, and the rules still function properly. Did you see something alarming?" Elena responded.

Everyone glanced at each other, trying to see who would speak first. Oslo was the first to share what he had witnessed.

Although he had been on a different mission, he had never seen someone so blatant in hurting another person in front of everyone. The worst part was that everyone was watching the victim call for help, but no one offered assistance.

Others also shared what they had observed while gathering information. They noted that some people could be shameless; moreover, many seemed to have lost their minds. fгeewebnovёl.com

"Things are different now; we must adapt to survive. I understand that changing your beliefs is challenging, so I won’t ask you to do it all at once. Take it step by step, and always prioritize everyone’s safety above all else. Only help if you have the capability," Elena said, emphasizing the importance of acting within their limits.

Everyone nodded in agreement and vowed never to burden the team. They would listen carefully to Elena and Ethan’s instructions as they believed their safety would be ensured with these two leading them.

After they expressed their predicament, they finally discussed the information they had gathered.

"According to the person I spoke with, most of the refugees come from City B, with a smaller number from Cities J and K, " Mrs. Ford reported.

"From my part, the military currently checks individuals through ID, but once their computer system is operational, the process will be much faster," Oslo added.

The military personnel had told them that once the system was operational, they would be able to view a person’s records, giving them an edge in deciding whether to allow entry into the city or not.

"Then let’s take a rest in the RV first, and once morning comes, we’ll go to the line," Ethan suggested.

Everyone agreed, aware that it would soon be late evening and that they needed to take a rest.

"Chief, I will keep watch tonight. I don’t trust the people around here," Oslo suggested.

"That’s what I was going to say. Let’s take turns; I’ll take over at 2 AM," Ethan replied.

"Grandson, I bought a motion sensor last time. You can use it for extra protection," Grandpa said upon hearing them discuss their plan for the night.

Ethan agreed, and together with Oslo, they immediately set up the motion sensor around the RV.

"I have to go to Paradise first. My little princess Mia has been sulking these past few days because I haven’t read her bedtime stories," Uncle Anthony said, feeling helpless.

"Go ahead, Uncle. Please say goodnight to little Mia for me," Elena smiled as she thought about her.

Uncle Anthony then vanished from the RV.

Elena immediately prepared the RV beds for Grandpa Caldwell and Mr. and Mrs. Ford.

"Grandpa, you can sleep in the main bed. I already cleaned it and prepared a new set of quilts."

"No, granddaughter, I’ll be fine sleeping in the single room. No need for a big one," Grandpa replied.

"But Grandpa—"

Before she could say more, Grandpa Caldwell resolutely declined the offer.

"You have been traveling all day; sleep well in the main bed."

Mrs. Ford, seeing them like this, couldn’t help but smile. They also immediately declined Elena’s offer, opting for the other room.

"Don’t worry about us; we can manage on our own."

Seeing them like this, Elena did not persuade them any further.

"Then before you go to bed, drink a glass of well water."

"We will."

They quickly went to their designated room to rest for the night.

Looking at her husband busy installing the motion sensor, she didn’t interrupt them and went to the main room. She had been thinking about how to take advantage of the situation when the storm hit.

For sure the military would definitely allow these people to enter the city once the storm hits, which will cause floods for months. They will need a lot of supplies to feed the people in City A and maintain their operations.

In her past life, the military forces of City A were one of the few bases that survived natural disasters, but only to be perished at the hands of aliens. This time, she would use them for her own agenda.

Food will be scarce during the apocalypse, and she has plenty of it. She would create a mysterious organization that would sell products in exchange for antiques and jades.

’What kind of organization should I create? Hmm... Oh, an intelligence organization.’

She would create an intelligence network focused on espionage and trading goods, such as information and food supplies, at different bases across the cities. This would give her eyes and ears everywhere.

Elena was deep in thought about the prospect of this plan. She knew it was feasible, especially since she had the space backing her up.

She was smiling like a fool, completely unaware that her husband had already entered the room.

Ethan observed her, noticing how her expression shifted at various moments. He was curious about what she was thinking right now.

"Wife?"

Elena jolted awake from her thoughts. Seeing her husband looking at her with interest, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Husband, let’s sleep now. We have to wake up around 2 a.m. to change shifts for the night watch."

Ethan agreed.

They needed rest since their journey had been exhausting, but he wanted to know what was on his wife’s mind.

"What are you thinking?" he asked.

Elena immediately shared her plan.

"What do you think?"

"To be honest, this is quite a good idea. We should discuss it further in the coming days, okay? Let’s get some rest for now. I know you’re tired," Ethan said, hugging his wife tightly.

"Hmm," Elena nodded.

They both fell into a peaceful sleep, but a few hours later, they were awakened by a sudden alarm from the motion sensor.

Then they heard Oslo’s serious voice.

"Who’s there?"
