18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 126

Stella, having given her all, was met with an unexpected blow, and was left speechless. Rosie, clearly panicked, stammered, "Stella, I...I...I have a stomachache, I...I...I can't eat." Jasper, usually the calm one, couldn't keep his cool, "I'll get some medicine for Rosie."

And just like that, the siblings made their escape.

It was one thing for them to act like that, but even the dog, Cooper, backed away, shaking his head upon Stella's gaze. 'No thank you!!!!

Stella was furious, "You're going to eat, even if you don't want to." Not only was he going to eat, but he was also going to finish Jasper and Rosie's portions.

He was always fond of dragging her washbasin around, so she decided to give him the whole pot, "Eat, wasting is shameful."

Stella's bowl was the only one with pickles. The dog, trying to be courteous, tolerated it to some extent, but couldn't stand the smell. So he dragged the bowl onto the balcony and began munching away.

Eight rabbits came over to join the fun, competing with Cooper for the soup.

Rabbits, if they drank too much water, were prone to getting sick and becoming lethargic. However, probably due to a mutation, not only did they drink water, but they also consumed soup and often competed with the dog for food. Just then, they were slurping away at the noodles.

Especially Snowy, she was pregnant again, and her appetite had grown significantly.

Stella didn't bother with them and finished her entire plate of pickles with her soup. She was proud to have driven everyone away!

But after eating, she didn't forget to open the windows to ventilate. She brushed her teeth, rinsed her mouth and even changed her clothes.

She thought that Jasper had vacated, but to her surprise, he called in the afternoon, "Are we training today?"

Why not? He wasn't afraid of the stink of the pickles, what was there for her to be embarrassed about.

...

After careful nurturing, the frost-resistant potatoes finally welcomed their harvest. The leaves weren't lush, but the fruits were plentiful, as the pot was filled with egg-sized potatoes.

Stella pulled out a sprout, which surprisingly had over 20 potatoes. When she weighed them, they weighed a staggering 7 pounds. The other sprouts also had a good yield, most of them ranging from 4 to 8 pounds.
