Chapter 79 - The Next Phase After The Six Days Of Calamities.
"Check if the damage materials can still be used."
"Group B, come here. We have to quickly clean this place."
In the vast grassland which has experienced countless disasters and fighting, innumerable people were constantly bustling around the entire place, checking and examining the materials.
While most of the people have started to quickly build the high wall around the Base with a serious and solemn expression on their faces.
Fortunately, the bamboo wall covered with a thin layer of ice wasn't created in the same position where the already built high wall is.
It seemed that whoever uses the ability to grow countless bamboo trees, the person has already considered giving enough space for the people to continue working upon where the built high wall has stopped.
Now, everyone doesn't have to constantly worry about suddenly receiving an attack from some beast on the burned mountain and forest area just a few distances away from where the high wall was built.
While in the middle of the vast grassland, there are also the sleeping figures laying on the long couch, which was being guarded by a bamboo shoot, a small fluffy robot, a beautiful crimson fox, and a stunning white peacock.
Of course, Ling Ju and Xiao Yanyu have also come out from the old villa in order to help out and have decided to look after the exhausted two young men after seeing their messy and tired appearance.
While the two old butlers have wisely chosen to help out on managing the people around to maintain a proper order without wasting too much time.
And at the same time, the group of bent men has started setting up a guard post all around the high wall and in front of the huge and thick front door of the Base, even going so far as to start installing the already prepared surveillance all around the place.
Even the already traps outside the high wall weren't forgotten, although it might not be powerful enough to deal with the monstrous mythological creatures they just witness a while ago.
However, it was better than nothing, especially when even humans would become enemies in the future after all, selfishness and greediness are part of being a human and even the Apocalypse wouldn't stop it.
While in another area, Wang Zhou has already started building the spot for the group of workers and their families to stay.
Although he was using the already prepared shelter to quickly set it up, while at the same time, he began to follow the already prepared arrangement on how the entire Base would look like.
Of course, there are also the researchers that have been locked down in the underground laboratory in the old villa, of course, along with the people they are closest with.
In which they have swiftly surrounded the dead body of the mutated griffon that Hua has swiftly pulled up in the mountain with their eyes glowing in amazement and disbelief.
Although, no matter how much they wanted to speak about how unbelievable it was while the entire situation couldn't be explained by science, nonetheless, they have been able to watch with their own eyes about what is happening outside while they have been locked down.
After all, there has been a large screen in the underground lab where they got to watch what is happening from the start until the death of the Foreign Creature.
Of course, there are also a few researchers that couldn't help but surround the adorably blinking Bao who can only stay in the mountain in order to keep the barrier up, after all, it was one of the most important locations in the entire Base that couldn't be left alone.
Even with the various bamboo trees around and the bamboo wall built up, the adorable Panda protective barrier is the most important key in keeping the entire mountain safe, especially when there will be the danger of a flying beast in the later future.
So, shortly after, when the sky was becoming dark, Shen Hao has woken up from his comfortable sleep before carrying the sleeping Xiao Wei in his arms and riding the car that was already prepared to take them back to the old villa.
Of course, the two Madams and the unusual four creatures have followed along.
Although, the countless people working around the vast grassland have continued on, completely uncaring the fact that the bright sky is gradually turning dark because everyone knows how precious time is.
So, every single person didn't stop doing the task they have been given while completely immersed in their own responsibility and only taking a proper break when they have to.
Everyone completely understood that the quicker they built the Base and protecting the countless materials around will give everyone a higher chance of surviving the unforeseen and dangerous situation they are facing.
So, there weren't any complaints about the task being given to everyone and was completely motivated to do their very best, especially when there are also points being given for their hard work, which was explained as a kind of money to exchange some materials and foods.
Although, it was completely unusual, however, everyone fully understood that it would become one of the many set rules to follow when living in the Base.
At the same time, after experiencing and understanding the management of the people that are going to be their higher up, everyone realizes how the entire place is still humanized.
Because just based on what everyone witness, it wasn't surprising if they got forced or ordered to work without receiving anything in exchange for their hard work.
After all, being able to have a future place in the Base that is gradually forming is already enough reason for them to work hard, especially when the world order and law appeared to be changing.
"Come on, we have to hurry up while everything is peaceful!"
"Yes, let's do our best! This will be our home from now on!"
"Hurry! We have to work hard in order to create a strong place to live with!"
Soon, everyone continues to work hard while completely making sure that there isn't any single mistake from what they are doing, after all, anyone couldn't afford to perform in error, because they are basically betting their life upon it.
The high wall would protect their life!
The warehouse will maintain their daily necessity!
The buildings would be their homes!
Soon, an entire day has quickly passed by but Xiao Wei has remained in a deep sleep causing Shen Hao to start worrying.
While the floating Black can only shake his head after being ignored by his second host when he tried to explain how the crazy host was just overwork.
So after being hit hard by the two Host lack of trust, Black has decided to speak with the additional member of their group, which is an unusual beast and plant.
And then, it was already the nine-day after the beginning of the Apocalypse, when Black has floated to the living room of the fourth floor where Shen Hao was embracing the sleeping Xiao Wei in his arms.
Of course, there are also other people around, however, there are only two humans who know of Black existence and were able to see him.
"Host Hao, please let everyone go back to their own room before seven pm arrives."
"Why?"
While tightly embracing the sleeping young man, Shen Hao has calmly asked the System who has suddenly appeared, although it was Savy that has answered his question instead of the System.
"There is countless information that Papa Wei has stored in my database. It stated that in the nine-day of the Apocalypse, around 7 pm, the entire world will be covered in black and white mist, forcing every single living being into a deep sleep and only awakening when midnight arrives."
After hearing such important information, the other person in the room has suddenly stood up, which was the silent Wang Zhou who has been sitting in the living room while observing the various monitoring screen set up all around the entire Base.
"I'll handle it."
After Wang Zhou has left, Ling Ju and Xiao Wei sitting in another place while watching a youthful drama on a large tv with the volume lowered down couldn't help but turned their head in Shen Hao direction.
"My adorable grandson Savy, wasn't that the famous cliche in the Apocalypse story about how the people who woke up from the sudden deep sleep or having fever was suddenly gaining abilities?"
Ling Ju's eyes couldn't help but brighten up while gently shaking the arm of the other woman sitting by her side, unable to fully stop the excitement and expectation in her heart.
"Sister Yanyu, what power do you think I will get? Will it be the same as my fifth son lightning ability? I'll definitely use such power to deal with all the people who dare to touch my children! Although I want a mind-reading power since it would be interesting hearing about what is going on in some people's minds."
Shen Hao can only shake his head toward his mother that was beginning to act out once again, before secretly nodding his head toward the relative of his lover, knowing fully well how much patience the other woman needed in order to stay sane by his mother side.
After all, it was already a miracle that his lover aunt didn't look for an excuse or reason to stay away from his crazy mother.
Ah, mom, we love you but it doesn't change the fact that we receive our craziness from you.
While Xiao Yanyu who has gotten an unexpected respectful nod from her nephew lover couldn't help but raise her other hand to cover the smile on her lip before quickly returning her attention to the lively woman who is a few years older than her age.
Such liveliness while retaining a child's heart despite already an adult is extremely rare and special, so how could she become trouble by such person?
So, Xiao Yanyu has patiently and kindly listened to every single word of the older woman without feeling bored.
While the two women continue to chat with a smile on their faces in the living room, Shen Hao has swiftly turned his complete attention to the sleeping young man in his arms with a worried dual-colored eyes.
"Sweetie, why aren't you waking up?"
However, no matter how much Shen Hao was greatly troubled with the unresponsive young man, a white and black mist has suddenly appeared in the entire world.
In which the white mist appeared in the dark sky while the black mist has emerged out from the ground.
Soon, the entire world was filled with rare silence as every single living creatures, be it the human race, plants, and animals have fallen into a deep sleep.
