18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 39

Don't let her youthful appearance fool you! The girl got a dark side.

She was the classmate with the folks in apartments on the 8th and 12th floor. However, she ended up breaking the girl's ribs and cutting her hair. And the boy, well, he was even worse off. He was bitten by a dog and then stabbed. They had to carry him to the hospital in

the morning.

No one should provoke her! That was for sure.

Drew's team had just returned, looking weary and only bringing back firewood. Every foraging spot in the vicinity seemed to have been picked clean. Even moldy bread was taken.

As they watched the residents of the 18th floor, they could only sigh in envy. How could there be such disparity in the same building?

The moment Stella reached the 18th floor, a dog named Cooper came rushing out of room 1803, furiously leaping at her, whining non-stop.

Cooper thought, "You promised not to abandon me, didn't you? What a lie!"

Rosie too came rushing over, hugging Stella's waist. "Cooper and I were so well behaved today."

Stella laughed and was just about to say Rosie loved her more, when Rosie suddenly dashed towards room 1801. "Jasper, Rosie missed you so much."

As per usual, everyone gathered in room 1803 to divide the loot. Upon hearing that they'd found a pig, Angela's concern overcame her excitement. "The fridge isn't working. How are we going to store the pork?"

It was half a pig, so there was no way they could finish it in a few days. It would be such a waste if it was spoiled.

Jasper had a surprising solution. "I have a car refrigerator at home. It's USB powered. The meat should just fit in, but the light is poor and it charges slowly. Anyway, it can be used for some days."

A car refrigerator? Stella had seen a couple of those back in Arcadia. She quickly said, "The landlord has one as well. I'll go look for it in his room later."
