18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 214

Stella whipped out her phone to record a video, contemplating that it might be a valuable record if they survive this apocalypse. Jasper hauled in a few more buckets of water. Stella dipped her hand in and sighed in relief; at least it was no longer scalding hot. The long-awaited downpour didn't cool the air but rather forced the underground heat to the surface.

Stella watched the torrential rain outside, her body drenched in sweat from the heat. This sensation was even more unbearable than the simple extreme heat. She felt like a barbecued chicken ready to be tossed into the smoker, just a few minutes away from being perfectly cooked. She couldn't stand it, so she switched on the air conditioning to preserve her sanity.

After washing her face, which was not scalded by the boiling rain but still flushed red, Stella applied a luxurious facial mask and offered one to Jasper, "Want one?"

Jasper showed no interest in the feminine skincare routine, "No, thanks."

She lifted her gaze to his face; his skin did not appear to have suffered any redness, probably due to its thickness.

She returned to her room and unknowingly, drifted off to sleep.

She was awakened by Rosie's laughter, "A rainbow, look, it's a rainbow!"

Stella threw open the window. The rain had stopped, and a brilliant rainbow hung in the sky. The post-apocalyptic rainbow was incredibly beautiful.

Stella couldn't resist stepping out onto the terrace to admire the seven-colored arc hanging in the sky.

The sky was clear and the rainbow bridge emitted a captivating glow. If only she didn't look down to see the desolate and barren earth, it almost didn't feel like the end of the world.

She snapped a few photos, and Rosie, hugging the dog, struck a pose, "Take a picture with the rainbow, Stella."

Solo shots, group shots, family portraits - they covered all bases.

Jasper did not slack off; he collected a lot of rainwater and stored it in Arcadia.
