Chapter 226

After dinner, all the windows were drawn and the three humans and a dog sat harmoniously on the sofa, quietly watching a movie.

Suddenly, the intercom crackled to life. Jasper paused the movie and signaled for quiet.

It was Mark, "Jasper, do you and Stella have a moment?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"I've got something on my mind, could you come down if it's not too much trouble?"

Mark sounded hesitant and confused. Mark was always the problem solver, only asking for help when he really couldn't figure something out. It seemed like this was one of those times. Jasper looked at Stella and they exchanged a glance before replying, "Alright."

They got dressed and headed downstairs. As they stepped outside, Mark was waiting nearby, looking rather grim.

"What's up, Mark?" Stella asked.

Mark looked uneasy, "This afternoon, the city council sent someone over. They want us to free up some buildings to accommodate the homeless refugees."

Stella had had a bad feeling when she saw the devastation in Griffith and the homeless refugees everywhere.

Thanks to the early warning, countless survivors had lived. This was undoubtedly a good thing, but it brought about new problems, such as how to provide for their basic needs?
