18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 333

Chapter 333

After hanging up the phone, Stella resumed her search for Lukas, her heart pounding with the hope that they were all still there. When she heard her voice, Lukas stayed silent for a long time. Stella was taken aback; she thought she heard a choke in his voice.

"Stella, where did you go?"

After so many years of natural disasters, Lukas had forgotten what it was like to cry, but now, he couldn't hold back, "We thought... you and Jasper were gone."

There was a long silence on Stella's end, "We got infected. We took a chance and headed to Swan Hill, not knowing if we'd find any medicine. We didn't want to worry you, so we didn't say anything."

Stella had access to the research institute not only because she had some medical knowledge but also thanks to Collin's special care.

Collin let Jasper, Rosie and Cooper in, for the sake of the debt of a life once saved.

Outside, the institute was besieged by people seeking treatment-hundreds couldn't get in, and even those admitted were selectively chosen by the researchers. She was there on someone else's goodwill. How could she take care of others?

After much thought, she decided not to reveal the full truth and simply said they had to leave for a few days.

By fortune, Cody and Lukas had better physical constitutions than most, and their daily regimen of herbal infusions meant their symptoms were much lighter.

Stella breathed a sigh of relief; to return from the brink and find those she cared about still alive was a beautiful feeling.

She didn't seek out Bran, confident that with the Porras family's influence, they were already pulling strings to secure medicine.

The Porras family itself was a large clan, and deciding who got the medicine was a delicate matter, so she put her worries aside.

The medicine was to cure, but whom to give it to was critical. Stella left that choice to Jasper. Who could Jasper choose? Cody, Lukas, and their close circle were sure to get it. As for the others... Start with Austin and his son. If they were willing to try, they could go first. Once their treatment showed effects, they could consider the next steps.
