18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 192

The feast was a beautifully roasted whole lamb, and the preparation was simply impeccable. Stella didn't hesitate. She dived right in, savoring every juicy bite.

Her Arcadia only had one lamb, not nearly enough for many meals. Since she was here, she naturally had to eat her fill. She asked as she ate, "Bryce, it's not easy to get meat now, especially fresh lamb." "Indeed, it's a luxury outside," Bryce acknowledged. "But here in Silver Asylum, you can have it as long as you're capable enough."

Teddy chimed in, "That's right, with Bryce leading us, we won't just have lamb. We'll also have fresh beef anytime we want."

Stella was impressed with the quality of the meat. "This tastes like lamb from the northwest. We can't raise sheep with this flavor by the coast."

Teddy laughed. "You got it, Stella. It's indeed from the northwest."

Stella was surprised. "The southern coast is chilling, dropping to below zero. The northwest must be even colder. It's amazing that cattle and sheep can survive there."

Teddy was amused by her surprise. "Stella, the world is full of wonders. While it's scorching here, the winter had barely started at the northwest. Hence, the fresh lamb." Stella was speechless. "Not everyone gets to enjoy roast lamb in this heat. Thanks for the treat, Bryce." With that, she raised her glass to toast Bryce and Teddy. Just as they sat down, a commotion came from outside.
