18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 31

Looking for decent lumber in the mall or office buildings was a fruitless endeavor, and the museum had long been submerged. But there was one place that might've still held some promise.

Griffith was globally renowned as a major furniture manufacturing base, and the International Furniture Expo Center built in Rockdale had become a high value landmark. Every year, without fail, it hosted the Global Furniture Expo. This year marked the 30th anniversary of the expo, which was grander than ever before. Promotions had been rolling out half a year prior, practically covering everything.

Stella recalled that the expo was supposed to start three days before the hurricane. The expo would last for half a month, so it hadn't ended yet.

A grand gathering of top-tier global furniture at the convention center-what a sight that would be!

She had seen the advertisements. One big furniture company claimed to have used thousand-year-old rosewood to craft an exquisite bed, along with a whole set of furniture for the house. The starting price was in the nine figures. To attract attention, the orgnaizers had borrowed a piece of ebony as the treasure of the exhibition.

Not just ebony, but other valuable woods like yellow rosewood and old sandalwood were also showcased at the convention center to promote furniture culture worldwide.

Stella had to go, and she had to act now.

The convention center was built in Rockdale, about 40 kilometers from the city center. The water flow along the way was complex, but it was worth a try.

Angela and the others had gone out to gather materials. Stella knocked on room 1801, saying, "I'm heading out."

Jasper had no objections, and merely advised her to stay safe.
