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
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
Spending the night outside the base
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,
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
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
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
