'Third Circle Existence!'
Their scalps tingled and were fuzzy for a moment. Their breath quickens and beads of perspiration drip from their forehead. Most of them can't even defeat a First Circle Existence without paying a price.
But now, a third Circle Existence was about to appear in their vicinity.
Oh Boy!
They're in danger for real.
After letting the weight of the matter sink into the people behind him. Justin looked at the horizon and sighed before leaving the cold atmosphere.
For a couple of moments, the people froze on their spot unable to wrap their heads against the sudden bombshell.
No one knew who recovered first. But they all find themselves on the second floor, staring at the young man in panic and nervousness.
"What should we do?" Susan was the first to break the silence.
"I'm all ears to any suggestion. If I can decide easily, I won't have to call you here. So… everyone should start speaking. We have no time." Justin replied calmly.
"I suggest we should move," Mack said seriously. He had thought about it and couldn't fathom a way from their current predicament.
He wasn't a coward but practical.
Everyone in the room looked at him but didn't utter a word. They were busy thinking of a solution.
"Why aren't you talking?" Mack looked at the people's faces with a light frown on his face.
"Your idea is not visible," Merab responded.
"Why so?"
"How long are we going to run? If there would be a beast as powerful as that in this vicinity. Only gods know what was out there. Here, we can defend and search for resources. Unless the situation is dire, I suggest we defend the shelter."
Mack opened his mouth but the word failed to come out his mouth. He blinked and slumped into his chair. 'Fuck! She's right. If we can get to my family's estate. Things would have been easier.'
"I support what Merab said," Susan said. "The situation is changing and we need to change as well. Running won't help. As a matter of fact, it would make us weak and unable to level up."
Everyone looked at the cold goddess and was surprised by her outburst. That was the most she had said since she joined the group. Justin glanced at her and nodded slightly.
"Is there any suggestion apart from this? We don't have time to debate." Justin asked seriously.
They looked at each other and shook their heads. Since running wasn't an option. Defending was only the option.
"Good!" He nodded.
"To be fair. You two, are new faces among us, and anything that my course partiality would be avoided. Resources would be distributed based on each person's contribution." He began and the room was in total silence.
"Susan, I want you to be in charge of the contribution point. Divide each resource and person into a contribution and paste them on the ground floor."
"Nasir, you handle the coordination of the people and the management of each resource. I want those with any talent registered. We need to move. "
"Mack and Merab, you take five people among those brave people and look for resources in the East. But not to look for resources alone, make those people level up while you two try and awaken your core power."
"Without connecting to your core power. You can't level up to Second Circle."
"Susan, you're closer to your core power. Only a thread is stopping you. You go to the west and bring people to guard there. You can venture forward if you like, because only in battle can you connect to your core."
"Also, Grandpa Philip will join you when he recovers."
"Nika, you defend the shelter. Don't worry when you're all fit. You can join any team of your choice."
Creak!
A light footstep entered the room and all eyes fell on the arrival. Seeing all eyes on her, she halted on her track and took a deep breath.
"Grandpa Philip says he left some resources on the road. We should send some people to get it. Also, he discovered a room filled with resources and it was down the street." Chloe said slowly.
"Good. I've got the intention of searching for you after this meeting. But since you are right here. Listen to your share of duties."
"Babysitting people is not the right usage of your ability. Now, the situation is dire. We need your abilities. Mostly weapons. Oh right!?" He creased his brow.
Justin looked at the face of the people sitting and asked slowly.
"Perhaps any of you know where we could get weapons and vehicles."
Mack thought for a moment before he opened his mouth slowly and said.
"I know a place but I'm not sure if we could still find them there." He dipped his hand inside his pocket and brought out a map.
He spread the map on the table and pointed to a location.
"Here. There is an underground facility here and we could find all the weapons and ammunition needed." He paused for a moment before he continued.
"If we're in the other part of the city. It would have been better." He added with a sigh.
"Then what are you waiting for? Get your ass moving." Justin raised his voice, shocking the people in the room.
Mack was frustrated by the way by which Justin didn't even give him face. Didn't he know who he was!? He shouted in his mind.
Susan looked at Justin and the corner of her lips raised a bit. No one could tell what she was thinking.
"What are you still doing!? Is it until those damned beasts and freaking zombies come knocking before you know how dire the situation is?"
Merab rolled her eyes and stood up and exited the room in large steps. 'He's unpredictable as ever. ' She chuckled.
Mack grumbled slightly and followed her. Susan looked at Mack and felt somehow. This was the first time since the start of the apocalypse that they were separated.
She shook the unnecessary thought from her mind. And said slowly.
"If you need vehicles and other parts of a machine. I think I might know a place. "
"Of course, you had to know a place. If you don't know a place then the rest won't have a clue at all." Justin said seriously without any smile on his face.
He stood and prepared to leave. "Chloe, you know what to do. Nasir began immediately. Nika…"
"I'm on it."
"Good"
"Susan when you are done with the contribution thing. Call me." With that, he left the room.
His body was still soaking in blood and sweat. He needs to change his dress and find something to eat.
If he was any ordinary First Circle existence. He would have long been dead. The situation was dire. Only he knew how dire the situation was.
'I hope we are ready before they arrive.'
