18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 187

The two of them packed up overnight.

They took everything that could be transported into Arcadia, even the stainless steel doors.

They disassembled all of the doors from rooms 1801 and 1802, and the six doors from the stairwell. Two had been destroyed by the explosion, but the remaining four were taken with them, as they would be needed for their new home.

Their eight rabbits were unharmed, but a few of the newborn bunnies, startled by the sound of the explosion, had died from stress. Stella packed them all into a cardboard box and stowed it in the trunk of their Hummer.

At five in the morning, they left the Sunrise Sanctuary, where they had lived for two years.

They stopped the car at the entrance to the University Town, the eastern sky tinged with the faint light of dawn. Stella sat in the passenger seat, deep in thought.

If Silver Asylum had attacked once, they would do so again. Hiding wasn't the answer, and it wasn't Stella and Jasper's style.

Jasper's gaze was intense. "We need to take them out."

It was better to throw the first punch than to receive a hundred. That was what Stella was thinking too. Running away wouldn't solve anything.

"Do you remember the first checkpoint we encountered when we were returning from Swan Hill?" Jasper asked.

Stella remembered. Jasper had mentioned that in his past life, the police forces of Swan Hill and Griffith had collaborated to take down two bases that had been causing trouble.
