"Alright, I'll be waiting for you in the training room with your thoughts on the strategy." With that, she sauntered out of the room with an innocent smile on her face.
Huh!
The group relieved their pent of breath and wiped the bead of sweat from their forehead. What a troublesome child. They thought.
The deafening sound of thunder rumbles through the sky as the rain poured heavily from the dark sky. Various sounds of rumblings of water echoed through the street tunnels while some streets with blocked drainage were filled with a flood, running everywhere.
In one of the highest buildings in the district, a group of men stood straight with a blank expression looking at a certain distance without blinking. A long train entered the district slowly under the heavy downpour but the expression of the people inside the building turned unsightly when the train journeyed through the district and felt the slight pressure coming from the ark.
"Commander, What do you think?" A woman in her late twenties asked with a calm expression. She was dressed in tight heavy armor with a long spear in her hand. Nevertheless, the steel armor didn't hide her long beautiful legs and perky ass.
The Commander didn't respond to the woman as his eyes followed the new arrival out of his sight. He took a deep breath and adjusted the heavy thick fur on his shoulder. He looked at the gorgeous woman beside her and said in a deep voice.
"We don't know anything about them but I know they were humans. And with the slight pressure coming from the train, none of them is as powerful as me."
Hearing this, the expression of those behind him turned into a bright smile as they puffed their chest outward and looked in the direction of the train with pride.
"What should we do?" The hefty man on the other left side of the commander asked without looking at him.
"Send our men to follow them to their destination and report back. If it is what I sensed. We subjugate them into the camp and take their necessary supplies." He paused and knitted his brow for a moment before he continued. "And if they are more powerful than I anticipated. We will form an alliance with them and trade with each other."
Hearing this, the expression of the men around turned revolting and the light smile on their faces disappeared.
"I understand how you feel but we must not be hasty. Although I say we may form an alliance with them…." His expression turned ugly, showing his darkened teeth. "We would use them as a meat shield against the Terra-Saw. And when they are eliminated, we take everything and those that survive for our pleasure."
Hahaa.
The hefty man beside the commander laughed and looked in the direction of the train with a dark glint deep in his eyes.
"The rain would stop in a couple of hours. Let's prepare to hunt." The Commander declared.
….
Inside the ark, the newly formed police team dressed in blue and black uniform patrols each car with seriousness. The weakest police officer was a 9-Thread officer but with the heavens mark. They could kill a First Circle Existence without losing a sweat.
William dressed in a green uniform laced with a red line at the edge moved with a large stride as he moved toward the management room. He was in charge of the Genesis logistic and thus had turns of work to be done.
At the entrance of his office, a silhouette stood with his hand inside his pocket, dressed in a dark green uniform with stripes of yellow. Hearing the rapid incoming footsteps, he raised his head and saw William. A bright smile appeared on his face and the slight worry on his face disappeared like it never existed in the first place.
"William… I've been waiting for you for a while…" Mack said with a bright smile.
William raised his head when he heard Mack's voice and looked at him for a moment without uttering a word. He knew Mack won't come to see him for no apparent reason.
"Let's talk inside."
Sitting behind a small crude wooden table, with a lot of papers. Mack stared directly into Mack's eyes and said calmly. "What do you want?"
Hearing this, the smile on Mack's face froze and the muscle on his face twitched. He blinked twice and took a deep breath.
"We've decided to form a group to fight the injustice on the ark"
"What injustice?"
After a couple of minutes of listening to Mack's speech, William sighed and shook his head. He tapped the wooden table and the atmosphere inside the room was silent like a graveyard.
"I don't know why you would have such a thought to form such a group… but as for me. Count me out. This is rebellion and I won't be part of it" William said after a couple of minutes of silence.
Mack tried to control his expressions, yet his expressions turn unruly, glaring fiercely at his childhood friend. William didn't care about his glare as he maintained eye contact with him.
"I guess this is where our friendship ends." Mack finally said after he managed to control the raging fury in his heart. His heart shattered and twisted as he didn't believe William wouldn't support their decision. And thus, felt betrayed.
"Since the beginning of the apocalypse, the old things have passed and this is a new world. Everyone started from the beginning and chose a new path. And if our friendship can't survive these changes, I don't have any qualms about it. Walk your path while I walk mine." William said calmly.
Bang!
"I'll make you regret your decision." He banged the table, sending a couple of papers flying as sauntered out of the furiously, slamming the door shut.
William didn't blink as he watched his charade and after a couple of moments. He shook his head and sighed.
"I hope you change your mind and realized how stupid and selfish you are." He muttered as he began to arrange the scattered papers.
