House break in.
"The scientists are important figures..." Commander Gerald rubbed the space between his brows. "Base A needs these scientists and the experimental materials in their possession."Lucas understood this.After the arrival of the doomsday, the occupations that still remained highly respected were those in the military, medicine, and science.It could be said that the scientists were regarded as top important assets that are critical to the future of humanity.That was how his parents were able to survive and even gain a good footing in base A.They were both scientists, and naturally they were treated with respect and given a high position in Base A just because of their identity alone.Right now the world needs as much information about the dungeon as possible. "Taking the road to Base A is not an option. It’s too dangerous, especially with the scientist under protection. Our base is the closest secure location capable of receiving a helicopter." The commander continued to explain. "S
Recuse request.
The soldier opened the door of the truck and approached the man blocking the way. "I will go take a look."Lucas leaned against the window to see what was happening.The man outside was thin and shabby. His face was stained with dirt, making it almost impossible to tell his age.The white t-shirt he was wearing was already dyed black and riddled with holes. Resembling a beggar."Is there something you need?" Despite the frown on his face from the abrupt interception of their vehicle, the soldier's words were polite."I—am so sorry. I didn't mean to." The man stuttered in a dry and hoarse voice. He glanced between the truck and the soldier in front of him. His worn-out gaze was a common sight in the apocalypse. Devoid of hope and light. "I heard that some people just returned from the black hole—my wife, my pregnant wife—she and my unborn daughter were swallowed by it on our way here."At this point his voice cracked. He seems to understand how impossible these words are; the hand by
harvesting potion herbs.
The second dungeon was a grade E dungeon and took almost a whole day to clear.Jordon sustained an injury on his arm, while Lucas was badly bruised from the fight.The dungeon was a lush forest, which created cover for the monsters to sneak on and attack."Dig all those ones over there too." The forest created a habitat for useful herbs to grow. Lucas keenly picked them out from among the shrubs, directing the three still able people to dig them up."Hurry up. The dungeon is about to close." They had less than a minute to do all they wanted to do.Most dungeon clearers would hurriedly search for the treasures in it before defeating the dungeon boss. But in some instances the treasures are located in the same place as the boss, and you are forced to deal with them first."Uncle, are you really sure these...things are useful?" Zoe eyed the grass in her hands, feeling like it looked no different from normal weeds."You will see later." Seeing was more believing.Naturally the herbs cou
New neighbors.
"Hah—I feel so full." Zoe sprawled on the floor, rubbing her stomach."Sit up so the food can digest." Gabriel stacked the dishes on top of each other, then said to her. Walking by, he kicked Lucas, who was also lying down. "You too. Stand up and take a walk around the house."Jordon joined in clearing the plates while Mata washed and dried them in the kitchen.Zoe suddenly sat up and snapped her fingers. "I was thinking. Let's give our team a name.""What kind of name?" Lucas thought it wasn't a bad idea.If they were going to become a guild in the future, then they'd need a name."What about the strong and powerful five?"All heads turned to Jordon. The ex-millitary personnel gave an uncertain, sheepish smile. "Is it not good?""Absolutely not." Zoe was characteristically blunt. "It sounds like what you will find in kids' cartoons.""Feels a bit narcissistic." Maya stuck her head out of the kitchen and added."Oh...then let's think of something else.""If there was still an interne
Team work, team dinner.
Forget it.Lucas stepped right back under the showerhead and scrubbed his body fiercely.Wash—wash—rinse.He grabbed the white towel hanging by the rack on the door and wrapped it around his lower half.Once again a knock came from the door."Uncle—""I am already coming right out." Lucas didn't give her the chance to speak. He rummaged through his closet and threw on a black t-shirt and matching grey pants.With hair still dripping, he hurried out of the room.Zoe trailed behind him like a little eunuch.A wave of heat rushed towards him the moment he stepped into the kitchen.In less than ten minutes the kitchen looked like a hurricane had run through it.Apart from the heavy spice hovering in the room, a slight sting permeated the air."Ahh...I can't stop crying. The onions hurt so much." Zoe sniffed with teary eyes.Jordon, who had taken over from her because tears couldn't stop running down her face, was already done with the onions.He chopped the mushrooms into smaller bits.
mission success celebration dinner.
As Lucas rummaged through the cabinets overflowing with ingredients, a sense of fulfilment filled his heart.In an apocalyptic world having enough to eat and a roof to sleep under could be considered a luxury.As a previous rich dandy, five years of struggling through the streets taught Lucas a lot.There was flour at home but no oven. If not, Lucas would have really loved to make bread.It was something that he hadn't eaten in a long time, and now he had the ingredient; he was really itching to try it.Since the meal was intended to serve six people, including four adults, it was important to consider that awakened individuals typically eat significantly more than regular people to compensate for their energy expenditure.Lucas poured eight cups of rice in a bowl. He washed the rice and strained it twice until it was clear, then he poured it into a pot.He added a spoonful of oil and a little salt before placing the pot in the cooker.The cooker turned on with a soft beep, and the li
