18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 292

They used to mock the people in Building 49 and Building 50 for their over-cautiousness, but now, they could only look with envy at their three-meter-high stone walls topped with electric wiring that screamed safety. Suddenly, many people turned to Austin, hoping to procure some building materials for their own walls.

But Austin was atypical this time, "Folks, I apologize, but all the available building materials have been confiscated by the authorities to build the new city. I really don't have any sources for this. Maybe you could try elsewhere?" He was no fool. If everyone's home was fortified like a fortress, what would happen when rioters indiscriminately attacked?

Stella woke up feeling groggy, her hands and feet growing colder. She pulled the blanket over herself, but it didn't help, the chill persisted.

Jasper stirred awake, "What's wrong?"

The cold weather made it good for sleeping, and after an passionate night last night, the two of them overslept.

She checked the thermometer. The room temperature had dropped to freezing point. The house had been insulated during renovations, so it was probably around 20 degrees below zero outside. Jasper quickly got up and added blankets to Rosie's bed.

"Why is it dark outside?"

Jasper switched on the light, "Don't worry, it's just the eternal night."

Rosie, dressed in her thermal clothes, was only cold in her hands and feet, "Will Dylan and the others freeze?"

Jasper paused, "You care about Dylan that much?"
