18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 118

Facing the baffling questions from the crowd, Mikey was at a loss, his face etched with worry and confusion.

"Perhaps in ten years, twenty years, or maybe fifty or sixty years. Nobody knows for sure."

The anticipation that usually accompanied Christmas was dampened by Mikey's words. It felt like a punch to the gut.

Stella voiced her concern. "Are we all facing this extreme cold weather globally?"

"With different geographical locations and different latitudes, disasters won't be the same. But according to scientists, due to unstable weather, various disasters will only intensify. That is, droughts might become more severe, floods more widespread, and in some places, deserts might even turn into oceans."

Deserts turning into oceans? Chills ran down everyone's spine.

Stella was surprised. "Was this from Griffith Agricultural Institute?"

This was a development that had not occurred in her previous life. In the past, researchers were chasing after natural disasters, and many had died from exhaustion trying to keep up with them. Could it be that the letter she sent out was really taken seriously?

"The Griffith Agricultural Institute is overwhelmed. It is a joint development by the coastal cities."

All the cities were working tirelessly, sharing technological achievements, joining hands to fight against natural disasters, hoping to survive this ordeal.

Stella was slightly moved. None of these had happened in her previous life. Maybe they had tried, but were not successful, or maybe they succeeded, but it was beyond her reach as a commoner.
