18 Floors Above the Apocalypse
Chapter 138
Chapter 138
The ice layer melted under the sun's exposure in an astonishing speed. The surface was smooth with no grip, making it impossible for the people in the water to climb back up.
Two individuals, quick on their feet, darted towards the building, but their pace was no match for the speed of the cracking ice. They slipped, fell, and were immediately swallowed by the icy waters below.
A year of disasters had pushed their bodies to the brink. Already severely weakened, they were unable to resist the bone-chilling water that filled their mouths and nostrils. They fell and rose in the water, but never managed to climb back up. Stella's walkie-talkie rang, drawing her back to the present.
"Stella, the heatwave is coming earlier than expected."
A chill ran down her spine at the thought. "Do you feel like the sunlight is too glaring?"
Jasper was knocking at the door. "Yes, and the temperature is rising too quickly."
Once the door was opened, their eyes met.
Many had died of heat in their previous lives. Now that the heatwave was arriving earlier, the consequences would be even worse.
Remembering the sauna-like weather she had experienced before, Stella felt a shiver run down her spine. Given a choice, she would rather face the freezing weather. At least they could snuggle under the blankets then.
Seeing her serious expression, Jasper reassured her. "We've prepared for this. We'll pull through."
Yes, they would pull through.
She had survived before when she was alone, without food or water. Now, not only did she have Arcadia and Cooper, she also had a boyfriend, and some friends. Her situation was far better than before.
After breakfast, they discussed the matter of harvesting the potatoes.
They had the growth stimulants, but the heatwave had arrived early and the potatoes weren't fully grown yet.
They dug up a pot and found that the potatoes were smaller than the previous batch and their taste was even more bitter. If they were to harvest them now, not only would the yield be significantly reduced, the immature potatoes would also be harder to preserve. Jasper asked, "Should we harvest them?"
The potatoes on the balcony, exposed to the sun, had wilted under the rising temperatures.
