18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 175

In the pitch-dark night, two massive shipping containers vanished without a trace.

Leaving General's Valley, Stella brought out the old car. She was driving, while Jasper was on high alert, eyes and ears open to the slightest hint of danger. They returned to their villa at four in the morning. It was still dark.

Stella entered Arcadia and opened the shipping containers, nearly knocked out by the strong fishy smell.

Freshly caught seafood of all sorts filled the containers, even including a shark over a meter long and several large octopuses. The quality overall was pretty impressive. Each container could hold 20 tons of seafood. Suddenly having an extra 40 tons made them feel like they'd struck gold. There was enough to last them a lifetime. Leaving Arcadia, Stella voiced her doubts, "Could it be that the threat of death was too great, making Aqua Base hesitate?"

"Two containers of seafood mean nothing to them. We can't let our guard down."

Having scored 40 tons of seafood, Stella was ecstatic, "Right, following your lead was the right move."

Jasper laughed, "You sure about that?"

Stella was stunned, unable to help but look at him.

"How about we move our relationship to the next level?"

Having been together for over a year, Stella had an idea of where this was going, and her face turned red. She almost hurled seafood at him.

At noon, Austin arrived as promised, "So did you get the goods?"

Stella had prepared a seafood stew to thank him, "Thanks to your guidance, Austin. We've already sold the goods and made a nice little profit." The stew was a dish from Austin's hometown, and the familiar smell almost made him lose his composure, "Wow, this tastes just like home!"

After wolfing down five bowls, Austin finally stopped, "The base leader tried the medicine, and it worked wonders."
