18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 221

Packing up, they moved away from the ground fissures.

There were probably aftershocks, so the two decided against returning home, planning to spend another night in the open.

They found a spot about a hundred meters away from the fissure and the factory. With no dangerous obstacles around, it was a good spot for camping.

Stella pulled a pop-up tent from her backpack. For the three of them and the dog, a large tent was necessary. She had chosen one with two bedrooms and a living area. Jasper called Rosie over and showed her how to set up a tent in the wilderness.

Stella walked to a higher ground, pulling out a pair of binoculars to look towards the city.

The city, once filled with towering skyscrapers, was gone. Just like that, silently wiped off the face of the earth.

All around, remnants of human civilization were almost entirely destroyed.

Despite having gone through this once before, Stella still felt a chill down her spine, her palms sweaty.

Griffith, where she had lived for twenty years, was now lifeless. Nothing like the lively city it was before the disaster.

Inside the escape pod and outside were two entirely different worlds. She had been safe inside the escape pod, only to emerge to a world turned upside down.

Before sunset, Jasper had successfully set up the tent and filled the air mattress with a pump.

Instructing Rosie and Cooper not to wander off, he walked towards Stella, who was bathed in the golden glow of the sunset. "What's up?" he asked.
