Chapter 151

Stella called out to Angela, "We've got some drought-resistant sweet potatoes sprouting, are you still interested in planting?"

Sweet potatoes took four to five months to grow, and the water level would go down in just one or two months. Planting them seemed pointless.

Nothing could deter Angela from leaving, "Stella, you go ahead and plant them."

Once everyone had left, Stella suggested, "How about planting them in Arcadia?"

Planting outside required constant care, with worries about sun exposure and daily watering. It was simply too much trouble.

Jasper pondered, "Why not plant half in each place?"

The soil in Arcadia was rich. If the sweet potatoes grown there turned out differently from those grown outside, it could cause unnecessary trouble during trades. Planting half in each place also allowed for a comparison. Stella had no objections. So the two divided the task. Jasper took care of the ones outside, while Stella handled those planted in Arcadia.

After dinner, Jasper sent Rosie and Cooper next door, and he began discussing with Stella, "The water level has dropped to the fourth floor. Soon, survivors will start going out to search for supplies. Should we make a trip tomorrow?" People from 1803 didn't have any diving suits, so there was no point in involving them. Plus, they had already decided to leave and wouldn't be interested in searching for non-essential supplies.

Stella agreed, taking out a paper map and an offline map on her phone.

The flood had softened the foundations of the houses, the extreme cold had made the building materials brittle, and the intense heat had caused the houses to swell.

After the ice melted, houses with shallow or old and dilapidated foundations had collapsed, not to mention that an earthquake could leave the entire city in ruins. The most important element in rebuilding was steel. Griffith did not produce steel, but it was home to Steel World- a one-stop service for processing, procurement, and trade. It was the largest professional steel market in the country, serving the entire coastal city. After some discussing, the two went to bed early, not forgetting to inform room 1803 that they would be going out for a stroll.

Rosie was left in Cooper's care, and the two would stay at home all day. Not only Rosie, but even Cooper had learned to operate the walkie-talkie. If anything happened, they only needed to call out into the walkie-talkie. The days were long in the intense heat, and it was already light before five in the morning. In order to avoid attracting attention, the two got up at three in the morning and quietly left.

Steel World was located on the outskirts of the city, about forty kilometers away.
