18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 90

Katie refused at first, and later she showed her gratitude with a pound of kudzu powder to each household in the end.

Meanwhile, Mikey gave a homemade "bike" to the residents of the 18th floor. The bike, equipped with a heating device at the back, could generate heat when pedaled with gusto, warming up the room while providing a means of exercise. "I'm still looking for parts," Mikey said, pushing his glasses up his nose with a scholarly smile. "Soon, I should be able to convert it into a charging device."

The 18th floor was pretty warm, so Stella declined the offer. "All right, we thank you. Once you can modify it to a charging device, we'll take it," Stella said.

After Stella left, Katie felt so embarrassed. "You know, I think our neighbors are quite selfish. They hide in their homes even though they're there. I suspect trouble is coming. Be careful when you're around them and try to minimize contact," she warned. Those gangsters had failed in their mission to collect food that day. It was certain that they wouldn't take it lying down and the retaliation was coming.

The folks on the 18th floor were capable, but they weren't the kind to just give away their resources. They hadn't said anything today, but what about next time?

If they really got pissed off, they could just wait until the 17th floor was torn apart before stepping in.

However, Katie was reluctant to criticize her neighbors outright. After all, who wasn't afraid of death? They were scared. Wasn't the 18th floor scared too? Sometimes, selfishness could be a death warrant.

That day, the building was a mix of joy and sorrow.

Drew's Family had been robbed. The survivors, who had been oppressed for so long, showed no mercy to Drew's family.

Those who had managed to grab supplies ran off, while those who hadn't vented their frustrations on Drew's family by beating them and stealing their clothes.

The slowpokes on the 16th floor didn't get anything and even had to deal with the bodies from the two floors above. Fed up, they decided to install a door at the stairway exit. When Stella returned to the 18th floor, Angela was waiting for her in the hallway. Pulling her into the room, Angela asked, "Stella, how did you know their guns were fake?"

"I'm no expert. I wouldn't have dared to go out there if Jasper hadn't given me the go-ahead," Stella replied honestly.
