18 Floors Above the Apocalypse novel Chapter 200

Stella smirked at Bryce, "I'll send you straight to hell, where all those people you killed and looted are waiting to settle the score."

"Hold on, I have food and guns, and I can make you the leader of the base. Please, spare me."

"Why should I spare you?" Stella retorted, "If I kill you, all the base's supplies will be mine anyway."

With that, she ignored his pleas and turned to Jasper, "You and Rosie keep an eye on them. Cooper and I will go and collect the loot."

Had it not been for the fear of attracting unnecessary attention, Stella would have set fire to the place already.

Bryce's wailing was getting on everyone's nerves. Jasper gagged him, "Be careful, and make it quick."

Stella, taking Cooper with her, disappeared into the night.

The first target was Bryce's extravagant mansion. On the first floor was a wine cellar, filled with all sorts of wines, cognac, tequila, and XO among others. There were about two to three hundred bottles, all of which she took.

In the living room cabinets, there were plenty of tea and cigarettes, all top brands. Regardless of whether they were expired or not, she took them all.

Unexpectedly, Bryce had a massive library filled with hundreds of books on science, humanities, technology, industry, emotions, psychology, and many magazines. She took everything, including the bookshelves, artworks, sculptures, and three safes.

The master bedroom was huge, with a walk-in closet that was hundreds of square feet. Stella only took the sculptures and left the rest for the lucky ones.

There was a room next to the master bedroom with a heavy stainless steel door. Stella, being a seasoned burglar, knew there must be something good inside. Without a word, she took out a crowbar.

As expected, inside was Bryce's private arsenal, with more than twenty guns of various types and thousands of bullets, as well as more than ten sets of bulletproof vests and helmets.

She wondered how Bryce could be such a coward with all these weapons at his disposal. Perhaps his fear of death was inborn.

On the third floor, well, there were five or six rooms filled with certain types of gears that would make any woman blush. Had Bryce been there, Stella would have hung him up with a pig hook.

Just as she was about to leave, she noticed several large boxes on top of the cabinet where the gears were stored.

The gears were clean, but the boxes were dusty.

Stella, being curious, opened the boxes one by one. They were all filled with famous brand condoms, totaling up to several tens of thousands.

So had they robbed the condom factory? Unfortunately, they didn't use them, caring only for their own pleasure and completely disregarding the women's wellbeing. In their eyes, the women were far less valuable than livestock.

Their lack of appreciation was Stella's gain. She was overjoyed at the prospect of how many supplies she could trade these for. She thanked Bryce wholeheartedly.

From the mansion, Stella headed straight for the freezer warehouse. She had seen them moving a lot of good stuff in there over the past few days.

Sure enough, there were more than forty sheep and six cows, all recently slaughtered. She took everything, not forgetting to dismantle the diesel generator.

There were a few warehouses lined up, next to which was a place for storing gasoline and diesel. When she opened the door, Stella was shocked by the sight of numerous oil drums. Including those she had brought back from Alpha Outpost today, there were at least over 200 tons.

She didn't expect Bryce to be such a hoarder, despite his cowardice. It was all worth the effort she and Jasper had put in.
