Chapter 115 Back To The Shelter

Three vehicles stopped in front of a huge crowd and a lot of people came out to welcome them. These were Justin and the others. After their continuous fight and a narrow escape from the zombies and beasts. They finally arrived at the camp.

"Welcome." Nasir was the first person to speak.

Justin nodded when he saw as his gaze swept the faces in front of him. He realized he didn't recognize some face but that didn't worry him.

From the corner of his eyes, she saw Kira smiling at him lightly. He winked at her and averted his gaze.

Meanwhile, Sergio was relieved when he saw Mullen and his two other men. Beside him was her daughter, smiling beautifully.

Inside the conference room, all the officials stared at Susan and Jackson.

"Did anything happen when I was away?" Justin asked.

"Nothing" Nika answered. "Only those that were injured were yet to wake up. But the conditions were stable."

'Hmm!' Justin nodded as he had expected.

"How's the group?" He asked.

"Not much. Previously, they were worried about the men that followed you since I heard one of them was Sergio's daughter finance. Mullen. But after receiving our assurance, they calm and behave." Nasir announced.

"How many people do we have in the camp?" Justin asked.

"Close to 700" Nasir answered as he paused for a moment to arrange his thoughts.

"We have over 200 fighters. While 15 are First Circle and 1 Second Circle Existence."

Justin was surprised by the number of fighters. He didn't expect to be that much. Though most were only threaded fighters. It was encouraging.

"It's good to hear that." Justin nodded and looked at the face of the people.

"Since the nightmare started. Do any of you have any plan or suggestion for the incoming imminent danger?"

Hearing this, everyone in the room wasn't surprised by the question. They had all been thinking about the major threat. But to come up with a situation plan was more difficult than ascending heaven.

"With the new supplies. We should strengthen our defense team while also training some men to defend themselves." Chloe announced.

"That depends on you. You are the leader of the research team, everything depends on you." Merab said, turning to look at her.

"That, I know and I have made some discoveries which I can wait to share with you," Chloe announced with a smile.

"We can't wait to hear it," Kira added.

Chloe nodded and rushed out of the room. After a couple of minutes, she came in, carrying armor.

Bang!

She dropped the armor on the large rectangular table and clicked her tongue as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"This is one of our latest research. Though it is a bit heavy. Its defense is monstrous." She said proudly.

"You can all touch to understand its stats." She added.

___Armor___

Name: Heavy Black Armor.

Grade: Common.

Tier: 2

Ability: Defense ( +30)

Upgrade: Reforgedable.

'',

Evaluation: A common armor made by a novice blacksmith with too many impurities, heavy, and obstructing mobility.

___

When everyone read the evaluation, a bittersweet smile appeared on their faces as they looked at the smiling Chloe.

"Well done." Justin gave her a thumbs up.

"Thank you." She giggled as she adjusted her glasses.

"But that's not all. I realized the shortcoming of the armor. So with the advice of Pipeman. We modified it to use it as a shield." She announced.

Everyone looked at her as they nodded, accepting her idea.

"That's great," Kira announced. She knew how much hard work those in the research department had put in to forge a tier 2 common arms and shield.

"Thank you. But that's not all. " She paused for a moment before she said.

"With our discovery on tier 2 weapons. We've many tier 2 weapons while also modifying all the available vehicles." Her smiles brightened as she looked in Pipe man's direction and nodded.

Pipe man cleared his throat and stood. "Apart from our weaponry. We discovered some of the beast's inner parts could serve as medicine and others."

What!

Justin was surprised as he looked at Chloe and Steve with a light smile on his face.

"Is that why you ask us to find some research tools?" Justin asked.

"Yes." Both Chloe and Pipe man answered at the same time.

Everyone was surprised by their rapid pace of research. Their gaze moved from Chloe's face to Pipe man as they gave them a nod.

"Well done. For your outstanding discovery. I award 200 contribution points each." Justin announced.

What!

Everyone widened their eyes, they didn't expect such a generous reward from him. Chloe and Pipe man looked at each other with bright smiles on their faces.

Due to the Mack incident, their contribution points had been reduced and everyone was in a pinch, worrying about how to pay for weekly points. But with these contribution points, they need not worry.

'That generous of you. What happened?' Kira asked through their soul link.

Before Justin could reply to her. She heard Susan's voice in his head.

'What about me? Didn't I deserve a contribution point?'

Justin looked at Susan from the corner of his eyes. Only to find her cold and expressionless.

'Tsk! There isn't any contribution for you. Except for the mission points.' He replied with a chuckle.

"Thank you, your highness." Chloe and Pipe man responded.

Justin waves his hand and says. "You deserve it. With this discovery, our rate of survival has increased." He announced.

"The danger is coming. We need to prepare for everything. Do we have enough food, medicine, and other supplies?" He asked, looking at Nika.

"Yes. With the new supply. We would survive for a week but anything after that…" His voice trailed.

"Then, what is the escape plan?" Justin asked.

Escape plan?

Everyone thought, not understanding Justin's train of thought. Nika looked at Nasir's face, not expecting such a question.

"Since our supply can only support us for a week. Then we must have a way out" Susan said.

Hearing this, everyone understands what Justin means by escape plan. But Nasir and Nika didn't know of any way out.

'Follow current novels on No v elBin.',

"We only hope for the nightmare to last only for a week," Nasir said slowly.

"That isn't accepted." Justin shook his head.

"My instinct is telling me that this nightmare won't be like any other that we've witnessed." He said seriously.

"Since there could be hordes that speak the human language with monstrous ability. Soul Eating Locust beast…" He paused and looked at everyone's faces with stern expressions.

"We don't know what type of beasts or beings that are still going to appear during the nightmare. This is just the beginning…. We must be prepared."

"It will be naive for you to think that during the nightmare. Our shelter won't be discovered and attacked." He continued.

"We need to have an escape plan for all the unexpected situations during the nightmare."

Knock!

Everyone in the room raised their brow and looked in the door direction. Who dares to knock on the door when they are having a meeting? They thought. Except for a few, no one dares.

"Come in," Justin replied. He had long discovered the young standing outside the door for a couple of minutes.

A young man entered with his heart racing as he looked at the people inside the room. He exhales and inhales rapidly to watch away his nervousness.

"Your Highness, something happening outside." He declared slowly.

Swoosh!

Justin disappeared from his seat and in a blink, he appeared on the roof of the building. He looked at the dark sky and creased his brow.

'As I expected. The weather won't favor us.' He thought in anger.

The temperature was dropping at a rapid speed as snow began to fall. Albeit it wasn't ordinary snow.

When the snow fell on his body, he felt the bone-chilling cold that sipped deep inside his skin.

Whoosh!

Justin appeared back in the room with a frown on his face. He looked at the young man and waved his hand as he dismissed him.

The young man widened his mouth and walked out of the room with shock written all over his face.

He only felt the gust of wind flashing past him, when he realized what was happening. Justin had disappeared and when he wondered what happened. He was already back.

'Scary!' He thought and scurry back to his post.

"What happened?" Kira asked when she saw Justin's expression.

For a couple of seconds, Justin didn't say anything. While others didn't dare to disturb his thoughts.

'Do you know what is going on?'

Susan heard Kira's voice in her head and her eyes widened. She raised her head and looked at Kira in shock.

'Are you surprised?' Kira asked with a giggle.

It took Susan a couple to recover from her initial shock. She controlled her emotions and responded.

'Yes. I didn't expect it. It came out of the blue.'

'Oh! So you don't witness the scene where we were bonded during your soul sharing.'

'No. I didn't witness anything related to it. Perhaps it was blurred out.' She replied.

'How do you know?' Susan couldn't but asked.
