18 Floors Above the Apocalypse
Chapter 59
Chapter 59
Jasper was paddling the inflatable boat, with Mikey on board, until they reached a spot about thirty yards out on the water. The fishing machine turned on, emitting a faint, buzzing, and harsh sound. Cooper, was restless, constantly nudging his head here and there.
Cody was scanning the water with binoculars and after a few minutes, he exclaimed excitedly, "Fish, there are really fish. They're jumping out!"
Stella took over the binoculars and, sure enough, she saw fish after fish leaping out of the water, belly-up after a few seconds.
After lingering in one spot for about ten minutes, the inflatable boat moved to another location. Stella inflated a life raft, took a duffle bag, and paddled her way towards the floating fish. The dog, Cooper, was in the lead, tirelessly paddling with his paws.
The belly-up fish were carried away by the current. With their three inflatable boats and four people, they paddled towards the fish, using their oars to scoop the fish into the bags.
The fish were not small; most weighed between six to eleven pounds, with a few heavier ones. The variety of fish in the reservoir was wide, including carp, catfish, and bass.
The reservoir, estimated to be about forty acres, was continuously being filled by the rainwater. As the reservoir overflowed, many fish were carried away by the current. If it weren't for this disaster, they could have caught tens of thousands of dollars' worth of fish. It was a rich harvest indeed.
The fishing machine was a huge drain on the battery, and it probably wouldn't last for many more catches. The fish in the reservoir would eventually be washed away by the overflowing water. What a waste...
While stuffing the fish into the bag, Stella took the opportunity to touch the fish in the water and put them into Arcadia.
Witnessing the fish vanishing from Stella's hands, Cooper, the dog, widened his eyes in astonishment. She was performing her magic trick again!
Under Stella's guidance, Cooper had developed a habit. Whenever she performed her magic trick, he would immediately become alert and start to keep watch around them.
In less than an hour, they had filled one duffle bag, weighing about 180 pounds.
Joey and Amber, who were diligent and not lazy, had already filled two duffle bags.
Cody shouted from a distance, "You two slow down. The fish are getting swept away."
Jasper and Mikey were also collection fish, their catch piled in eight bags under a tree, weighing about 700 to 800 pounds.
With no fish to eat, they were worried, but now that the fish had piled up like a mountain, they wondered how to get them out?
"Why don't we just catch a few hundred pounds each day?"
