Chapter 26


    Without further ado, Lukas knocked on the door of their friendly neighbors in this post-apocalyptic


    world. Upon hearing their need for medicine, Jasper agreed after some consideration.


    As usual, Ang stayed behind with the kid to guard their base.


    Even though Cody proposed the idea of the world''s end, Ang still had her concerns. She wasn''t


    ready to believe it fully, and after some hesitation, she said, "On this trip, focus on finding survival


    supplies and medicine. Anything else...you can decide whether you need it or not."


    She didn''t spell it out, but those who understood, got it.


    Ste quickly caught on. "If we find medicine and survival supplies, we will split it evenly. Any


    personal needs aren''t included, but let''s not use too much of the group''s resources."


    Everyone agreed; it was better to be clear from the start.


    With one speedboat and three rubber boats, they could bring back lots of supplies. Their only worry


    was that someone else might get to them first.


    There were 20 kilometers to Cody''spany, and the four of them braved the rain on their


    speedboat.


    As they had guessed, the water flow became moreplex the further they got from the city, and


    the wind started to blow. Even the best sailor would struggle to navigate through such conditions.


    Jasper, however, was skilled enough to traverse theplex waterways. In the gloomy weather,


    they spotted a few skyscrapers standing above the water. Cody pointed out the direction, and they


    moved towards the skyscrapers. Through the ss on the fifth floor, they could see an office


    submerged in the flood.


    "The office looks pretty tidy; it probably hasn''t been looted yet."


    They took a hammer and smashed the ss, letting the floodwater rush in. Once the water level


    stabilized, they entered the skyscraper and secured their speedboat.


    They were lucky, therge skyscraper hadn''t been looted yet. With a clear goal, they headed


    straight to the 12th floor, where Cody''s pharmaceuticalpany was located.


    Using bolt cutters, they broke the lock and Cody was the first one to reach his desk. Upon seeing


    severalrge boxes piled up behind it, he sighed in relief. "I was supposed to deliver these to the


    pharmacy that day. But then the storm came, and they dyed the delivery, so I brought the goods


    back to thepany."


    The goods were a variety of things, including antibiotics, rheumatism medication, cold medicine,


    and much more.


    The pharmaceuticalpany wasn''t big, with only about a dozen people in the sales department.


    The exhibition room had all sorts of medicines. Although the volume wasn''t much, there were many


    different types, and they managed to fill severalrge boxes.


    Ste suggested, "We have limited space, so let''s remove the outer packaging and just take the


    medicine. That should save us about three-quarters of the space."


    "Sure, I know what each medicine is for anyway. I can sort them out when we get back."


    While they were removing the packaging, Ste searched the workstations. She found coffee,


    biscuits, various snacks, tea for the men, herbal tea for the women, and some instant noodle.


    The quantity wasn''t much, but they didn''t leave anything behind.


    The pantry had more stuff, all the drinks, tea, and bottled water were taken. Ste even took the


    packages left at the reception desk; as long as they were useful, they would take it.


    Whatever they didn''t need, she secretly stuffed into Arcadia.


    The medicines filled up tworge backpacks, making it a fruitful trip.


    After hiding the other supplies, they moved to the 15th floor with the medicine. There were three


    pharmaceuticalpanies in the building, and they prioritized collecting from all of them.


    The second one also had a lot of medicine. Cody looked at therge fridge in the exhibition room


    with regret. "Thispany mainly deals with vines. These are all valuable, but we can''t take


    them."


    Through the ss, Ste saw several types of vines for smallpox, tetanus, rabies, meningitis,


    HPV, influenza, and more. The fridge was designed to keep running for a month after a power


    outage, but once taken out, the vines wouldn''t be able to be preserved at room temperature.


    Ste nced at them without saying anything and continued to gather supplies.


    They stuffed a rubber boat after going through the three pharmaceuticalpanies.


    Around one o’clock in the afternoon, they sat down for a meal, feeling hungry. They had coffee, tea,


    and various popr snacks they had found.


    Listening to the rain outside and eating snacks, it felt like one of the best moments in their life.


    “We have enough medicine now, but not much food. There are a few inte infuencer live-


    streamingpanies in this building. Let’s try our luck.”


    No sooner said than done, they continued to pry.


    Unfortunately, the first one was a makeup and skincarepany. Cody and Lukas weren’t


    interested, but Ste’s eyes lit up. High-end skincare products, makeup, lipstick, face masks, and


    luxury creams, were piled everywhere. Ste didn''t hold back and picked the most expensive ones


    to put in her bag.


    Lukas thought of bringing something back for Ang, so he picked a few items too.


    The men weren''t interested. They were only looking for survival supplies, so they moved on to the


    secondpany. "Ste, hurry up, we''ll wait for you upstairs."


    Once they left, Ste cleared everything and put them into Arcadia.


    Their luck didn''t improve, the secondpany was a women''s clothingpany, with all sorts of


    clothes, dresses, shoes, bags, and more. Lukas picked a few items for Ang, and Ste also


    chose several pieces.


    Finally, the thirdpany was a foodpany, but it was all snacks - beef jerky,mb jerky, nuts,


    various types of bread and pastries, popr drinks, and even ice-cream, but it had all melted in the


    freezer. These items took up a lot of space, so they filled severalrge ck stic bags. Even the


    garbage bags from the cleaning room weren''t spared, as they coulde in handy.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Time passed quickly, and they realized that their approach wasn''t efficient enough.


    Ste suggested that they split up to cover different floors, which would save time and increase


    efficiency. There were a total of 15 floors above the water surface. Ste was responsible for three


    floors, and the three men each took four floors.


    Ste was assigned the 12th to 15th floors, and she decided to start from the 15th floor and work


    her way down.


    Once she reached the 15th floor, she went back to the pharmaceuticalpany and took all the


    vines from the fridge. Arcadia could keep them fresh, no matter how long they were stored.


    Time was running out, so she decided to focus on thergerpanies first. She spotted the local


    office of a well-known appliancepany in Griffith. The product exhibition hall wasrge, with air


    conditioners, washing machines, fridges, smart cookers, and all sorts of trendy appliances.


    In her past life, she heard that the government would be setting up bases around the country in the


    future, and some of them had pretty good conditions. Plus, Arcadia had a sr generator, so Ste


    decided to pick a few items she liked, just in case they came in handy in the future. If they didn''t end


    up needing them, they could always throw them away.


    She chose a six-figure double-door fridge, a five-figure air conditioner and washing machine, a


    multifunctional air conditioner fan, an ice maker, a cooker, a bread maker, a soy milk machine, a


    wireless vacuum cleaner, a dryer, and more. Ste liked cooking but hated washing dishes, so she


    decisively took several dishwashers.


    These items took up a lot of space, but luckily they had cleared out Arcadia in time.


    The perks of working for arge corporation were quite impressive. The break room was brimming


    with all sorts of goodies. Milk, snacks, and drinks were a given, but there was also an assortment of


    whole grains avable. Dried fruits and nuts, and even delicacies like caviar and lobster,


    presumably for entertaining clients. Unfortunately, all the fresh fruits had spoiled, leaving only a pile


    of wilting lemons.


    Adjacent to the break room was a bakery, specifically set up for the employees. It was stocked with


    milk, flour, cake mix, eggs, condensed milk, dried fruits, and many others. The refrigerator was


    stocked with red wine and steaks, although the steaks, too, had spoiled.


    Ste wasn''t in need of these, nor did she want to deplete the resources that Lukas and Cody might


    need. She packed up everything useful.


    The workstations were also thoroughly scavenged. Useful items were kept, and inconvenient ones


    were thrown into Arcadia, like wires, sockets, and various tools, along with all kinds of books.


    While unpacking a delivery, she discovered two pairs of ice skates. Considering they might’ve been


    useful in extreme cold, she tossed them into Arcadia as well.


    From under a workstation, she dragged out tworge parcels. The delivery note didn''t specify the


    content, so she sliced it open with a knife.


    Well, what do you know? To her surprise, both boxes were full of condoms. Tworge boxes,


    amounting to a total of three thousand.


    Ste nced up at the namete on the workstation - it read ''Max King.''


    She praised every warrior who prepared for every sexual experience!
