18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 145

Stella, with a fierce determination in her eyes, gathering the rabbits to line up on the side as she put items in Arcadia.

Sure enough, three giant cockroaches were kicked out by Arcadia, quickly becoming prey to the rabbits.

She replicated the same process at 1801, swearing to eliminate all cockroaches. With even more cockroaches at 1803, she had no choice but to let the rabbits handle it themselves. The 17th floor was equally busy, and there was word that large cockroaches had chewed through the food bags. While Katie was eliminating them, she almost stumbled. Stella thought for a moment, then sent two rabbits down to the 17th floor. She couldn't send too many, not wanting to flaunt her resources.

The rabbits didn't require any feeding, so she decided they could stay on the 17th floor permanently.

Katie's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets seeing the rabbits crunching away. She had seen a lot in her sixty-something years, but she had never seen anything like this.

Katie was deeply moved by the support from the 18th floor. Who would say they were devils? They were a thousand times better than the wolves in sheep's clothing. Trash was piling up, and the threat of the cockroaches was growing.

The radio was constantly broadcasting calls to action from the authorities, reminding everyone to maintain the cleanliness of their living environment, and not to litter.

Empty apartments were available in every building. Residents were advised to store their waste in covered containers, and after the flood, arrangements could be made for personnel to come and collect them. Those who continued to litter were only hurting themselves, and breeding more pests.

Some survivors heeded the advice, while others continued to do as they pleased.

The cockroach problem persisted, but the 18th floor remained clean and tidy, thanks to the rabbits. The pests were gradually eradicated.

The 17th floor followed suit, but as Katie's balcony was open, there were still a few cockroaches. The other floors were still infested.

Stella seriously doubted the intelligence of these creatures. Had they learned to avoid the 17th and 18th floors?

"Definitely!" Lukas was certain. If the rabbits could mutate, then it wasn't surprising if the cockroaches had evolved some intelligence. Cody agreed. Under the overwhelming force, the cockroaches had become cowardly.

Stella playfully nudged Jasper with her elbow. "What do you think?"
