18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 170

In the darkness, Austin's voice echoed, "Stella, Jasper?"

The two exchanged glances. What was he doing here at this hour?

Stella, almost out of reflex, began to hide things as quickly as she could.

Greens, chicken, pork - Stella swiftly stashed them all into the Arcadia, leaving only the seafood barbecue out.

Stella invited him onto the rooftop, "Want some garlic oysters?"

The irresistible aroma of grilled seafood caused Austin's self-restraint to falter, "Sure."

Stella handed him a cold beer, "Austin, you came here in the middle of the night. Is there an emergency?"

"There is an emergency," Austin gulped down a few mouthfuls of the beer, letting out a satisfied sigh, "It's also a golden opportunity to make some money, depending on whether you guys can seize it."

Make a fortune? Who wouldn't want that? Stella's interest was immediately piqued, "Go on."

"Odeberg International is at loggerheads with Aqua Base,. It's a fierce competition. I suppose you know about it?"

She had heard about it, but she wasn't interested. She came to the seaside to stock up.

"Aqua Base has always wanted to swallow Odeberg International, but Odeberg International is not a pushover. The two sides have been at each other's throats, when Aqua Base took a despicable move. They kidnapped Dexter to force Warren to surrender. "But Warren is a man of character. He hired a bunch of bodyguards to forcefully retrieve Dexter. During the escape, the old man tripped and got impaled by a rusty nail."

Those who had experienced the apocalypse knew that tetanus was no joke, and the best way was to get a vaccine within 24 hours.

But two years into the apocalypse, pharmaceutical companies were destroyed, hospitals paralyzed, and life-saving drugs were more expensive than fairy pills.

Odeberg International, with its vast resources, would have been able to procure any other life-saving drugs, but the tetanus vaccine was special. It required refrigeration at 2-8 degrees Celsius, and any deviation from this can cause the vaccine to become ineffective. To find a vaccine was almost harder than reaching the sky. So Odeberg International reached out to all possible connections.
