18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 253

What a coincidence. Not only did they choose the same building, but Mark also ended up in Room 303. That made her breathe a sigh of relief. At least she didn't have to deal with a troublesome neighbor.

She chuckled, "Mark indeed has a good eye. My relatives just happened to buy room 301 and 302."

"It's all thanks to your reminder that we were able to act quickly. Otherwise, we might not have even been able to secure the apartment."

It was a mutual benefit. If it wasn't for Mark's reminder, even with her high credit score, Stella could not have had the chance to select a villa.

On the way, Christian was discussing the installation of solar panels and rooftop gardening.

With over a hundred people, it wasn't easy to arrange for food and drinks, waste management, and other necessities.

Upon arriving at the housing complex, Stella said, "Mark, thank you for taking care of us over the past year. We'll be moving to Newtown in a few days."

Mark was taken aback, "So soon?"

Each day felt incredibly long, but looking back, it seemed as if it had passed in the blink of an eye. They had been at Eastwood Eden for a year now, and during that time, the place had experienced several crises. Without their help, Eastwood Eden might have fallen. "When are you leaving?" Mark asked. "You've done so much for Eastwood Eden, we'd like to give you a proper send-off."

Stella politely declined, "We're all part of the community, so there's no need for thanks. Besides, living here feels like home."

If it wasn't for the pressing circumstances, they really wouldn't want to move.

Mark insisted to express their thanks. If it wasn't for their help, Eastwood Eden wouldn't have even had the chance to live in Newtown.

Stella and Jasper weren't moving just yet; they needed to gather some more resources first.

Jasper reminded, "Newtown has factories, and it's not far from the agricultural institute's plantation. There are plenty of job opportunities. You might want to keep an eye out for job postings."

There was still plenty of time before they had to go. After a nap, the three of them went out to gather soil.
