Rozi’s family was gone by the time she regained consciousness, and she now had to face a global catastrophe that had hit the future generation. She knew this would be immensely difficult to resolve.Half an hour passed as Rozi and Adrian discussed matters. Lyle and the others managed to calm down and accept everything that was happening. Now, they were prepared to do whatever was necessary to rectify the situation."Sir!""Sir!"They walked toward the man they saw as their last hope. Humans were pack animals, requiring a leader to guide them in the right direction.Adrian asked, "Have you all managed to calm down? Feel free to ask me any questions that are on your mind."A young man stepped forward and rubbed his reddened eyes. "Sir, all of this happened so suddenly. I'm not sure if my family is still alive. Do you think I'll be able to see them again in the future?"Everyone, including Adrian, wished to see their friends and family. However, from that day onwards, they were all

After twenty minutes, six trailers drove into the base. Under Oliver’s guidance, everyone moved the weapons, food, and water onto the trailers. They split the supplies among the six trailers in case anything bad happened. They emptied out the whole base and got ready to receive Adrian's next orders. They were lined up in a row when Adrian and Rozi got back."This isn't a drill. It’s a race against time for our very lives. Plants will not survive without sunlight, and it's only a matter of time before we run out of food. If we pool together the city's reserves, I believe we’ll have three years' worth of rations. So, we have to win this battle within that time or we'll starve to death before he even kills us. Once we run out of food, all hope of survival dies. Is that clear?" "Yes, sir!"Adrian nodded and continued, "I'm going to break you into groups. If any of you think you have something unique to offer, please step forward. Oliver will record your skills and information. We hav

They either had to stop the trailers or continue on and ram into the monster. The trailers would surely overturn upon impact, but if they stopped, the monsters behind would catch up and topple the trailers. In other words, they were stuck between a rock and a hard place.Adrian yelled, "Keep driving! Rozi!"A figure dashed out of the rearmost trailer. It was Rozi, brandishing her rainbow-light sword. "Go!"Adrian jumped off the trailer. He and Rozi took a side each, running past the trailers and toward the monster horde. Bam!!! The moment they entered the monster ranks, Dragonbane shot out a golden beam that devoured everything it touched. Grabbing onto a monster, Adrian stabbed it through the heart before hurling it away. Rozi matched his movements and slashed out with her sword, claiming monster heads or cutting them in half. Both were tirelessly taking out the monsters on the road as more charged toward them.The trailers were able to safely cross the road thanks to the pa

Nobody was prepared to face such a sudden catastrophe, but everyone had performed well given the circumstances. At the very least, they had gathered into an army as they waited for a chance to fight back.Jerome sat down on a makeshift mattress as Lewis handed him a bottle of water. "How much food has our rescue squad found? How long will it last our people?" he asked.Lewis remained silent for a moment before he said, "There were a lot of missing people throughout Yelloton. For those people’s sakes, our rescue squads left behind a lot of food. The ones who haven't located the safe zones will probably need it, but don't worry. We have enough food for more than a month.""What about our communicators?" Jerome asked.Lewis shook his head. "Many of our towers have been destroyed. The signal from the wireless communicators won’t get very far.”Jerome pondered for a moment before saying, "We have a massive battle ahead of us, so we have to restore our wireless signals no matter what. T

Jerome immediately stood up and went to the rooftop. The soldiers stationed there seemed extremely excited. One of them handed their binoculars to Jerome. "It's over there, sir."Jerome looked in the direction the soldier was pointing at. Soon, he spotted the signal coming from Mount Gremont and decrypted its message.[I'm fine. What's your status?]"It's Draco…" Jerome muttered."What? War Legate Draco was the one who sent that flare?" the soldiers asked excitedly.Jerome took another look and confirmed that it was indeed Adrian who had sent that message. "It's him. He's alive.""Hahaha!""This is great!""I knew he'd be all right!"The men cheered that Adrian was safe and sound. "He's asking for our status. I'm going to reply to him now." Jerome lit a signal flare used by Wyvern Peak. The multi-colored smoke contained his message. Adrian saw the signal Jerome sent. [We're hiding underground and are looking for survivors. What about you?]Adrian pondered for a moment b
