18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 140

Stella wouldn't hesitate to give what they could. "I've got a secondhand fan, it's all yours. Got a portable fridge too, turned out to be broken when I got home. If you guys can fix it, it's yours. If not, I can give you the one I'm using." Lukas was confident about this, "I'll give it a shot."

As for the power supply, she suggested they divide it per person, with little Rosie exempted. She advised against pedaling the bicycle for long periods, especially in the excessive heat.

"Stella, can we grow vegetables?" Angela had been yearning for it for a year.

Upon hearing this, even Cody and Lukas were craving it now.

Stella had no objections, "With this heat, I'm not sure if hydroponics will work, but I'll give it a try."

Once they had decided on what they wanted, Stella took their belongings as payment. Clear accounts made for good friends; it was best to avoid future conflicts. She gave them a slight discount based on the market price outside. Angela and the others had no objections. They once again marveled at how wise it was to follow Stella's lead. They had saved so much trouble.

Just as they were about to leave, Jasper stopped them, handing them a walkie-talkie, "This will make it easier to keep in touch."

Lukas instantly understood, grinning as he said, "Thanks, Jasper. See you guys later."

At nightfall, the temperature dropped significantly. With the fan blowing, they slept soundly.

At around seven in the morning, the glaring sunlight seeped in through the curtain gaps. After a day and a night, the water had returned to room temperature, with the heat steadily rising.

Jasper came over and helped Stella secure the corners of her balcony with stainless steel mesh to prevent pests from crawling in.
