18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 252

Stella glanced up to see Amber queuing ahead.

Amber quickly walked over, "What a coincidence, are you guys here for house selection too?"

Stella nodded, "Has Katie recovered from her illness?"

"Much better." Amber was delighted and lowered her voice, "Stella, we owe it to your medicine. Katie stopped coughing and her concussion symptoms have eased. She's in good spirits now.

The life-saving medicine wasn't cheap and she doesn't have much valuable stuff. She'll pay you back with groceries in a few months, is that okay?"

The Moore family was working and once the research institute moved in, Amber's job could be restored. They could save some money by tightening their belts.

Stella gave it without intending to take anything from the Moore family, but she didn't want anything could foster a sense of dependency.

"No rush, let's focus on getting Katie back to health. Everything else can wait."

While they were together, Stella curiously asked, "Did you guys get a two-bedroom?"

Amber nodded, "According to the policy, a researcher is entitled to a two-bedroom unit. Both my husband and my son are at the research institute, so we got two units in the institute's residential building. The conditions there were pretty bad before, and we moved into an unfinished building a while ago. Today, we came to register and get our certificates."

They were fortunate that both father and son had good jobs, otherwise they would have ended up sleeping on the streets.

Stella was surprised that the authorities provided free housing for researchers. This policy was commendable.

The queue slowly moved forward, Stella and Amber chatted from time to time. Newtown had more than houses, it also had factories, schools, and other relevant units.

"Many units have merged with those in Swan Hill. The two cities are developing towards each other. The Agricultural Institute of Swan Hill has been merged into Griffith, and the Herb Medicine Research Institute is in Swan Hill. Once the second and third phases are built, the two Newtowns will be connected."

Schools and factories?
