Chapter 519

Stella was on the same page. Compared to the endless ice of the Arctic, solid ground was much more livable for most people.

"I wonder what's going on out there now," she mused.

Jasper, lost in thought, replied, "Do you want to check it out?"

Of course, Stella wanted to, but she was worried it wasn't the right time.

Jasper squeezed her hand. "We can start prepping and wait for the perfect moment."

They couldn't make a hasty exit like they did from Ocean Point Naval Station. The world was round, and with a couple thousand people in the Arctic, who knew when they'd cross paths again?

With nothing to their names, they needed to get ready if they planned to leave. They didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.

Two months later, in the dead of night, a massive tremor jolted them awake, as if something had exploded.

Stella didn't have time to think. She and Jasper, along with their five furry friends, rushed into Arcadia.

They stayed there until dawn was almost upon them, then emerged in their escape pod. Their container home was intact, though furniture had shifted and some decorations had fallen.

When Stella opened the door, she heard distant shouts of joy. She couldn't make out the words, but the excitement was clear.

With binoculars, she spotted something brown standing out against the snow about a kilometer away. The local bigwig, his fingers glittering with rare gems, was dancing around it joyously.

Stella watched for a while. It was indeed a brown rock formation. There were mountains in the Arctic, bursting through the ice.

Hearing about the mountain, Jasper and Rosie were equally moved. They dressed quickly, locked their mischievous dogs inside, and hurried to the rock formation.

They weren't alone; many survivors were heading there, faces glowing with excitement.

The stone that seemed small from afar was immense up close, towering five or six meters high and too wide for a dozen people to encircle.
