18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 28

Everyone was feasting on high-calorie instant food, casually discussing the loot they had managed to gather.

Besides the assortment of junk food and drinks, Stella had gathered the most grains, while Cody had swept through a local farm supply store, bringing back hundreds of pounds of beef jerky, ginseng, saffron, truffles, and cheese. Lukas found several bags of high-quality rice, while Jasper found a liquor store and brought back dozens of boxes of wine.

All in all, the most abundant item was bottled water.

This was a necessity that couldn't be discarded. After all, you couldn't always rely on drinking rainwater. After some discussion, they decided to first bring back the medicines, meat, wine, and grains, then the non-perishable foods like instant noodles and bread, leaving the bottled water and drinks for last.

Moreover, everyone took some things they needed.

The powerboat was Stella's, along with a samurai sword, a golf club, and some skincare products. Lukas grabbed some clothes and shoes. Cody, on the other hand, took electronic products, game consoles, watches, and the like. Jasper carried dolls, children's books, and pens and paper, obviously for Rosie.

Everyone was careful not to bring too much personal items as the space on the boat was limited.

While loading the rubber boat, Lukas casually mentioned, "I found a seed store, but unfortunately, the seeds are not edible because they've been sprayed with pesticides. Otherwise, we could have brought them back just in case."

As soon as he finished speaking, three pairs of eyes were staring at him.

"What...what's wrong?"

Cody was at a loss for words. "The whole world is flooded. If we're really in an apocalypse, seeds will be more valuable than medicine."

Only then did Lukas realize his foolish mistake. "Should we take them back?"

That was a no-brainer. Lukas and Jasper continued to load, while Stella and Cody ran upstairs to fetch the seeds.
