Chapter 111

Jasper gently guided his sister, taking their time to follow behind.

Stella took in the sights as they walked, taking a while to compose herself. She noticed traditional medicine practitioners setting up shop, offering treatments for minor injuries and massages. However, due to the absence of medicinal supplies and the frigid temperatures

requiring thick clothing, very few patients came forward. Those who did were there for consultations.

The market was vast, with a wide variety of goods for sale. The most common items being second-hand clothes. There were hundreds of pieces piled up together. They looked dishevelled and unclean, but that didn't stop people from inquiring. It was clear where these clothes came from.

Yes, indeed, they were stripped from the dead. Such practices were highly frowned upon, but the survivors had no other choice. If they didn't take the clothes, they would freeze to death. Survival was of utmost importance.

After browsing for about an hour, apart from Stella, none of them bought anything. Yet, Cody and Lukas were in high spirits. The prices of tea, tobacco, medicine and alcohol had risen, especially the fever-reducing and antibiotic medications. A line of medicines could be exchanged for several pounds of food.

Everyone living on the 18th floor had medicines. As long as they stayed healthy and didn't fall sick, they could exchange for a substantial amount of food in the future. Having medicines in hand gave them a sense of security and confidence about their future. Stella kept quiet, and Jasper didn't bring it up. The awkward incident with the condom was thus swept under the rug.

Three days later, the residents' committee released a notice informing the survivors to collect the protection grains that were stolen.

According to the criminals' confession, the allocation was based on the area affected. The areas hit harder received more, while those hit less received less. While it was impossible to achieve absolute fairness, they tried their best to ensure fairness for the majority. Sunrise Sanctuary was one of the worst-hit areas, and each person could collect 2 pounds of grains.

The 18th floor had not been robbed, so when the survivors lined up to collect their grains, Stella chose to stay at home and play dead.

Everyone in the neighborhood knew that the 18th floor had not been robbed, and many were waiting in the shadows. If anyone from the 18th floor dared to come forward to collect the grains, they would secretly report them.
