18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 185

Stella finally figured it out that Eastwood Eden only accepted capable individuals who could band together to survive in the face of natural disasters.

Mark paused, then laughed, "Miss Stella, you're sharp. Indeed we do have a well in our community, dug by the capable hands of our residents under the guidance of a member who knows how to dig wells. Each household gets around half a barrel of water a day. Do you still think 10 pounds of grain is expensive?"

After their conversation, Mark had a good sense of them and was hoping they would join.

The Eastwood Eden residents were diverse, but they needed a doctor and its defensive capacity was weak. It was in dire need of people like Jasper and Stella.

"Can we think about it and give you an answer in a couple of days?"

They were always on alert. This post-apocalyptic paradise seemed more like a poison apple. They didn't rush into the community to look for houses, deciding that they would first get a good understanding of Eastwood Eden. They didn't want to end up trapped. Instead of going home, they found an unfinished building with a broad view to patiently observe from.

According to Mark, Eastwood Eden had handed over two buildings in phase one, and three in phase two were only externally decorated with rough interiors. Later, he led the homeowners in the community to decorate the third building for rent.

Jasper observed through binoculars and found that indeed only three buildings showed signs of life, and the other two were empty.

From the clothes hanging on balconies and the plants, it seemed that each floor of every building had residents, except for the top ones.

It seemed that each floor housed one family, with the fire doors of the staircases closed. This meant an extra layer of security. This arrangement seemed reasonable.

Eastwood Eden was largely planned, with many empty spaces waiting for development. However, disaster struck unexpectedly. Now, these spaces had become scattered sunshades, with drought-resistant sweet potatoes planted in the fields.

The community was not far from a river, so groundwater should be more abundant than other places. It made sense that they dug a well; otherwise, where would all these sweet potatoes come from?
