18 Floors Above the Apocalypse
Chapter 238
Chapter 238
Stella returned to Apartment 5 early after a day's work, drawn to the verdant landscape that stretched before her.
The folks of Eastwood Eden were hard at work, tilling and sowing the land tirelessly for the past fortnight.
Corn was sprouting. Lush green vegetables promised a bountiful harvest in a week's time, but they were too precious to be consumed. Instead, the seedlings were carefully re-planted, nurtured to grow, and then sun-dried. The dried veggies could be consumed or traded for points.
The strength of the human spirit was evident in their toil. Not only did they cultivate the barren land within the neighbourhood, but they also ventured beyond its borders.
Patrol duties increased, but no one complained.
After two days of rest, Stella decided to gather firewood from the forest. The nearby woods had been stripped bare, forcing her to venture deeper into the wilderness. A round trip was no simple task.
They had to spend the night in the forest, returning only when she had gathered enough wood.
This time, she not only took the dog but also the rabbits.
She took only the first and second generations and the yet-to-grow babies. The fully grown rabbits that had reached a certain weight were slaughtered and stored in Arcadia.
She made sure not to do this in front of Snowy and Smoky. The deed was done in the next room.
Snowy and Smoky couldn't speak, otherwise, they would have protested against Stella. Damn it, they thought. They were always the ones to get the short end of the stick, while the dog was pampered and taken care of. She stored the important stuff in Arcadia, put the rabbits in the trunk, and drove the Hummer to gather wood.
After much consideration, she decided to go to Ivywood Estates at the city's edge. The forests along the way were bare. Ivywood Estates had been destroyed in an earthquake.

The branches were also valuable, tied together and stored to be used as firewood later. It was dark before they finished working.
