Chapter 27 The Unexpected Bounty

• Nadia had never experienced the taste of pork, but she was acutely aware of its rarity and immense value in the post-apocalyptic world. Its worth as a trading commodity was beyond dispute. With no hesitation, she deposited it into her storage space, but a sudden thought occurred to her. She seized a handful of the precious meat and stuffed it into a sleek, black plastic bag, likely containing dozens of succulent pieces.
• After clearing the 15th floor, she descended to the 14th. This level was dominated by a single tech company, occupying a colossal office that stretched endlessly beyond her view, teeming with countless workstations. The prosperity of this company was palpable; the employee benefits were nothing short of opulent. The pantry boasted an array of luxurious items—pricy snacks, self-heating meals, and a refrigerator overflowing with steaks and pork chops. The aroma wafting from the refrigerator was so pungent that it nearly turned her stomach.
• Having plundered the pantry, she proceeded to the executive office. It was clear this was the domain of a wealthy and possibly eccentric tycoon. The office was grandiose, featuring a vast hall, a reception area, a plush lounge, and, intriguingly, a personal gallery of collections.
