18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 57

In the face of Sadie's insincere invitation, Angela remained unmoved. She gave her a firm push, easily sending Sadie sprawling two or three meters away, crashing into the wall. "Get lost. If I were a man, you'd be dead." Even after selling herself, she still had such abundant energy. She was like a succubus, stealing the vitality of men. She was shameless to the bone.

By the time the people in the 1202 heard Sadie's cries, Angela had already retreated upstairs.

Back on her floor, Angela vented to Stella, "Just hearing her cutesy voice gives me goosebumps. That woman's nothing more than a poisonous snake, always stirring up men to do her dirty work. I roughed her up a bit, and if she dares to step out and mess with us, we'll take the opportunity to get rid of her, otherwise, she'll cause trouble sooner or later."

Stella agreed, "We've got to come up with a plan."

Too bad Sadie's gotten smarter, hiding behind men and not easily exposing herself. Stella had no intention of killing Sadie; she preferred to see Sadie suffer more. But if Sadie remained stubborn and refused to back down, Stella wouldn't hesitate to take severe action. After all, she wasn't so soft-hearted.

Not long after, Mikey helped Katie upstairs. Without hiding anything, Stella asked him directly, "Can you make a fish trap?"

Mikey was taken aback, adjusted his glasses and pondered for a few minutes, "I should be able to make one, but I don't have enough materials."

He was a physics fanatic, his room packed with all sorts of components. Some had been purchased, others scavenged from junkyards. He had won a domestic innovation award and excelled in the national physics competition. He was a true prodigy. Stella asked, "Can you find the materials?"

"There should be some in the lab,. I just have to modify them a bit."

The materials room was on the eighth floor, and it probably hadn't been flooded yet, but Mikey wasn't sure whether it had been ransacked or not.

The lab was not too far away, approximately 10 kilometers if they took a shortcut. Stella inquired with her eyes, silently asking Jasper if they should take on this task.

Jasper thought for a moment and then said to Mikey, "I can take you there."

Mikey, though nerdy, was not stupid. He knew that if the people from the 18th floor were willing to use their petrol to send him to fetch materials for a fish trap late at night, it was definitely not just for catching a few fish.

He took out his tools and started to modify them, "I'm still missing a few things. I'll go to the lab to dismantle them." There were several labs, and he dismantled items from some of the devices and machines. "These machines and instruments are very expensive; it's a pity many of them were destroyed by the flood." Mikey was usually a quiet man, rarely expressing strong emotions, but when he said this, you could sense his sorrow. Indeed, the flood not only consumed lives, but also the precious cultural heritage of mankind. Stella didn't understand physics, so she couldn't help. "I'll walk around and
