Chapter 293

Yanking open the blackout curtains, Stella flicked on every light.

Silence prevailed outside the window. Even with the house ablaze with artificial daylight, an unsettling restlessness seeped into the room.

Stella picked up the walkie-talkie to get in touch with Cody's team.

Kitty picked up. She was out patrolling with Angela.

They were all adults, and if they insisted on working throughout this eternal night, they must have considered the risks. Stella chatted briefly, reminding them to stay safe, and then hung up.

While all friends, their living conditions varied greatly. Given the choice, no one would choose to venture out. It was best not to criticize from a place of comfort.

After two hours of reading medical books, she sparred with Jasper, breaking a good sweat which made her feel much better.

She took some hot spring water from the pantry, poured it into a bathtub, and soaked in it for 40 minutes on a constant temperature setting.

Meanwhile, Jasper was busy training his little sister and Cooper.

The lights in the backyard greenhouse remained on. The rabbits, having experienced extreme cold before, were not much affected by the temperature drop. The chickens, ducks, and geese huddled together for warmth. Rosie looked slightly upset. "Jasper, they didn't lay any eggs today."

Jasper reassured her. "It's too cold and there's no sunlight. They'll get used to it after a while."

Cold as it was, they still needed to feed the animals well to keep them warm. They couldn't skimp on the mixed grain feed.

He had rigged a heating pipe in the greenhouse, which could be turned on when the temperature dropped further at night, helping the animals survive the long nights.

During the eternal night, they didn't have much to do and tend to go to bed early. Just as Stella was about to sleep, the walkie-talkie suddenly blared, "Stella."
