18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 243

Facing his persuasion, Stella held her ground, "Under the dire circumstances back then, it might have perished anyway."

But things were different now. After several rounds of natural disasters, all creatures had a moment to catch their breath. Even wild vegetables had started to sprout on the banks of the river.

Besides, even if they couldn't find it, there might be other medicinal herbs worth looking for. After all, their stock of medicines was limited, and sickness did not discriminate. What if one day they fell ill and had no medicine at hand?

Lying around all day was getting boring. Going out would not only help them find medicine but also let them stretch their legs. Why not?

Jasper agreed.

Stella opened the rabbit hutch, "You guys want to come with me, or stay home?"

Perhaps the bunnies had really become intelligent. Ever since she took them out last time, they had been ignoring her. In the past, they would have jumped at her feet, vying for her attention. Oh, well, they just ignored her and kept munching on their hay. Well, fine. In the past three years, she had stored plenty of rabbit meat. Whether it was roasted, steamed, or stewed, there was enough to last for a while.

Stella left them a few bundles of dried hay and clean water, and left with a peace of mind.

The journey was tough, but with Rosie and Cooper coming along, riding the scooter didn't seem safe. So, they took the Hummer instead.

The roads were cracked, ruins were everywhere. It was a difficult journey. Fortunately, the famous circular road in Griffith was their saving grace as it led them to their destination.

Whenever they encountered a cracked road, they took a detour. After a stop and go journey of 50 miles, they finally arrived after four hours.

During their journey, they encountered two groups of robbers. Stella, who was in the passenger seat, couldn't be bothered to waste words. She lowered the window and pointed her rifle at them.

The robbers were so scared that they not only retreated but also quickly cleared the roadblock. "Ma'am, safe journey," they said.
