Meeting with the commander of the base.
They took another military vehicle heading southwest of the base.Base C was a small survival base with a population of approximately 2000 people.The military expended efforts to send out rescue teams to nearby cities mainly to rescue trapped masses and some important people.The base was divided into east and west. The west of the base was occupied by the military faction, while the east was by the civilian faction.It wasn't noticeable now, but in the future, where each power stood dominantly, conflicts started to arise; the division would gain another meaning.Between these two zones is the central zone, also known as the safe zone, where the civilians live.It was when the population of the base grew beyond the available resources that they started to extend out, and new buildings were erected.Lucas remembered it all like it was yesterday.To him, Base C was the closest he had to a home after the apocalypse happened.It was a pity that the base of about 3000+ people was wiped ou
Daddy Lucas wants to live till old age.
The villa was a comfortable-sized home for a small family.It had two floors.On the first floor was a living room connected to a medium-sized kitchen. Down the hallway were four guest rooms.Going up to the second floor, there were two master bedrooms with two other rooms decorated for children and the storage room.Making it a total of eight rooms.Lucas gingerly picked one of the master bedrooms and strolled in with Henry.He felt that Henry was too young to stay on his own. It was better to keep a close eye on him.Henry was too quiet. Lucas wasn't familiar with how a normal three-year-old should act.The closest he had been with a child was his little cousin.Lucas disliked the little daredevil who would kick up a stink at every family gathering.There were no exceptions.Compared to him, Henry was an angel.'I should probably take him to see a doctor,' Lucas thought to himself. He didn't understand psychology but he understood that watching his mother turn into an infected and
Exploring Base C market.
Outside the sky was bright, and a subtle chill hung in the air. The mist was starting to clear up. Lucas observed. If it went like it did in his past life, the it should completely disappear on the seventh day after the apocalypse began. The four of them stepped out of the villa. Lucas carried Henry as usual. “What about Maya?” At the moment they were all in need of daily necessities. She should also have things she wanted to buy. “I checked her room and saw that she wasn't in. I think she must have left earlier," Zoe replied thoughtfully. Lucas had an idea what Maya went out to do, but he didn't say anything. Since she did it secretively it meant she didn't want anyone picking into her business. As for Gabriel. Lucas didn't care in the slightest. Now that they have arrived in Base C they could dissolve the temporary alliance right? “Hey, Uncle, do you know the way? How about we ask someone where we can find the market?” “No need. Just follow me.” Lucas walked at the fr
Taking a task to City W.
There were currently only seven outside base tasks.Three of the tasks to City CWhile four other tasks were to another city, City W, it was almost at the same distance as City C to Base C. A one- to two-hour drive.That was if the journey went smoothly. Since the base was newly established and was still in its developing phase.They lacked a reliable source of power, a proper water purification system, and most importantly,Food and medicine.The main priority was to become self-sufficient.Survivors continued to pour in, and the initial supplies in the base were getting depleted.If it goes on like this, it won't be long before the basic infrastructure collapses.The base authorities placed heavy importance on seeds.After all, they couldn't rely on already processed food forever.If they couldn't produce more food, it would become a disaster when the processed goods finally run out.A portion of land up north to the west was reserved for agriculture.The soil was tilled, but there
Secondary mutated infecteds.
The trip out of the city was smooth.Their drive was unimpeded, and they arrived in City W within two hours.The heavy trucks made no stops, and they drove all the way to the north entrance of the agricultural research center.Some soldiers first went in to investigate the situation, and soon the sound of gunfires rang out.Probably clearing the perimeter.Lucas waited until they were signaled to move.“There is a warehouse at the back. We want all seeds irrespective of the type. No need to bother with if they are good enough. Just try and grab as much as possible.” Captain Yama said to them. “Developing seeds are in the nursery, but because of mutation, I will advise everyone to be careful around them. It will be better not to approach the area if you are not confident.”“Let's go.” Lucas pulled Zoe and Jordon, directly walking to the warehouse.Sensing that they were more amiable compared to the group with the woman, the college students stuck close to them.The warehouse double doo

Of course the soldiers didn't listen to him.They were trained to prioritize the safety of civilians, and their first instinct was to jump in to save the group with the woman.The woman continued to scream, her face morphed into a horrified expression.She cradled her burnt arm and ran back to the trucks.An infected dove at her, and the yellow teeth sunk into her throat, tearing a big chunk.Blood spluttered.Her body spasmed.More infected caught up to her and dragged her to the floor. They bit her face, limbs, and the flesh on her chest.Tearing her apart.Her intestines flowed on the ground.“Captain, we have to go!” Lucas gave up trying to convince the others; he faced Captain Yama.“Do you want to risk the lives of everyone else here because of them?” Lucas didn't think himself to be heartless.The infecteds poured towards them with no end in sight.Rushing in to help would only put more people in harm's way.The college students were young and visibly weren't good at fighting,
A deal with base C authorities.
The three people that left with the lieutenant were Lucas, Gabriel, and Maya.Lucas was the one who brought the case, Maya was directly involved with it, and Gabriel…Lucas didn't know why he was tagging along.He looked at Maya and Gabriel with a thoughtful expression.Maya walked half a step behind the man, giving off the feeling of a subordinate.Lucas didn't know what happened during the short time he didn't see them, but there seemed to be a shift in their relationship.The military operation building was the same as the last time they came.Commander Gerald sat behind the desk. When they entered, he was putting away a black file, a slight frown etched on his face.It was barely visible, but Lucas keenly sensed that he was troubled.“Take a seat.”There were two vacant chairs.Gabriel casually took one.Lucas offered the other one to Maya, but she quietly refused, so he sat down.“About the issue from last time, Hippo and the rest of his accomplices have been detained. Rest assu
Setting up the villa.
"About the deal…I think we should take it." Gabriel looked at me with thoughtful eyes.What are we? Who is the we? Lucas gave him a hateful look.He couldn’t wait to get away from the latter, and accepting this deal would only tie them together."Were you not interested in gaining points? This will be faster than taking those out of base mission." Gabriel said to me.That is true, but…Lucas was reluctant.His plan to form a guide of his own and live a peaceful life was drifting farther and farther.Maya glanced between the two of them without saying a word.Lucas finally remembered her. "What do you plan on doing after this?"He had previously planned to recruit her, but Gabriel was obviously faster.So hateful."I don’t know for now." Maya opened her mouth and then shook her head.Lucas caught her throwing a quick glance at Gabriel. As though she would simply fall in line with whatever he decided.Really so hateful."Ask Zoe and Jordan and see what they think." Gabriel suddenly said
Lucas isn't interested in sharing.
At the top of the stairs, Lucas walked a few more steps, and he arrived at the open terrace.The terrace was not only spacious but also a spot that received a lot of sunlight, unlike the cold and damn storage room where he planted his lettuce in his past life.Among the haul from city W are two sacks containing a variety of seeds and one full of seedlings, and the last sack is a bag of fertilized soil.Lucas wasn't sure if the soil around the villa would have been contaminated by the mist, so he had grabbed some soil just in case.He gathered different plastic containers, placing them according to the sizes.The seedlings that were already the size of a thumb were given bigger containers to facilitate their growth, while the seedlings could be planted in one big container and transplanted later.For the moment Lucas only planned to plant a few types of vegetables.To him are tomatoes, peppers, green onions, lettuce, water spinach, and radish. They were compact, fast-growing, and produ
Team captain Lucas.
A heavy, oppressive pressure hung over the conference room.A long rectangular table occupied the center of the room, surrounded by several military and civil officers.At the head sat Commander Theodore; next to him was the civilian affairs director, William Park.A slim man with a scholarly look. His features were refined rather than imposing, with a calm pair of dark eyes that seemed to miss very little.Base C maintained a two-branch administrative structure. The military handled defense, combat, patrols, and ability users.The civilian administration handled everything that kept thousands of ordinary survivors alive. Food distribution, housing, medical supplies, trade, agriculture, sanitation, construction, and the countless other things that soldiers couldn't manage alone.It was an arrangement born out of necessity.Both sides also existed to keep each other in check.And judging by the number of people in this room, this dungeon deal was important enough to involve both side
