At 7 o'clock in the evening of the same day, while everyone rested in closed doors, Xander and Artemis secretly sneaked out, wore camouflage clothes, and rode a rubber boat towards the other Cities. According to their memories, they collected all the materials from low land level planes.
Sure enough, the warehouses and depots were already halfway submerged into the flood. Taking these materials into space, then leaving enough supplies for the survivors to the high rise buildings 10th floor and up.
For the next four days, Xander and Artemis crazily plundered urban and rural Cities. Compared to material collection with the 800 subordinates, the two moved obviously faster by several times.
On the morning of the 8th day of Apocalypse, Thunderstorm ended. However, the couple immediately stopped and went back to the base, because what's to come is another disaster stronger than thunderstorm.
Super Typhoon and Tsunami waves will bring countless death to the world. Especially, places in the sea areas.
Artemis already sent the reminder online.
Little did she know that after experiencing the Thunderstorm, the citizen were already alarmed and happened to recall her numerous posts. Citizens already evacuated, families collected food secretly, and most people followed the list of materials in her posts when searching. Seeing the list and dates of Natural Disaster on her list, everyone lamented in their hearts.
Of course there are still some arrogant people who slander and ignorantly rant online, but at least Artemis' purpose was achieved.
At 1 o'clock pm of the 8th day, the Government sent an announcement which startled everyone.
[ Dear Citizens. The Government prohibits everyone to go out starting 1 o'clock pm of February xx, xxx4.
Please conserve water and stock up food, jackets, lighting and heating equipments, daily necessities and medicine.
At 12 o'clock midnight, the official weather forecast confirmed the coming Typhoon with level xx. People in coastal areas will be evaluated by the military in cases of Tsunami waves due to typhoon.
Internet connection, electricity, water supplies will not be guaranteed during this time. Following announcements will be broadcaster through local signal using radio.
The military were stationed in every community so please remain calm inside your homes.
Please follow the reference below ]
The reference was composed of Do's and Don'ts. Preservation Tips. List of Materials etc..
All in all, the reference is a more mature and comprehensive list of Artemis' previous posts. Citizens realized it just after reading it once and the atmosphere of the whole country became solemn.
What were Artemis' posts before? Isn't it an Apocalyptic reminder? What does the government mean with this reference list? If the citizens don't get it until now, then they're really stupid.
Immediately. Even though they already have a hunch, reading it directly by the government is different.
[ huhuhu..I want to go home. My parents are still in the province and I'm all alone in the dormitory]
[ Is there anyone selling food? I'm willing to double the price. I'm at Noze community at A City ]
[ I'm selling down Jackets. 300 dollars each (pic.) ]
[ 300 dollars? You're thinking beautifully! That's 10x the original price! And it's obviously from two years winter design ]
[ Sister above. If you don't want to buy, just shut up! Sister seller, I'm at Moze Community. I'll order 8 down jacket. Can you please send it to me door to door ]
[ Selling grains! 15 dollar per kilo (pic.) (pic.) ]
[ Brother I'll buy 100 kilos. Is there a discount? ]
[.........]
[..]
The whole world is in chaos while the thief couple just arrived at the Villa and now sleeping peacefully.
•••
At night, the Calum Family and the Five Rings went back to the underground base. All 800 soldiers are sitting quietly on the 30th floor. Although there's a lot of people, the space in the lobby is relatively large so there's no problem accommodating up to 1000 more people.
Flashing on the screen is the Cultivation exercise to immediately inspire supernatural powers. After the first natural disaster, the aura in Earth thickened. Foreign energy begun to increase little by little, so Artemis suggested to start the training as soon as possible. The earlier the better, the stronger their force will be.
Outside is in chaos. Day by day, the level of water increased. After 10 days of Super Typhoon and Tsunami, the water level had reached the edge of 10th floor.
A lot of Citizens ran up the mountain for shelter. Some even robbed supplies and home, but only Two Villas were left untouched. Not because of any reason, but because the walls, doors and windows are so sturdy that no one could even scratch them.
However, hundreds of these shelter-seeking people squatted infront and around the gate. Waiting for the owner to go out and ambush them.
On the 10th day inside the underground base. 200 soldiers successfully inspired abilities. Mostly Power and Speed mutation, 47 with Earth and Gold ability that's useful for construction, 25 Water, 17 Fire, 23 Wood and unexpectedly, 3 Space & 2 light (healer) superpowers.
The remaining 600 soldiers are still Cultivating deeply, and one by one, there's addition to the superpower group.
The five Rings also woke up one after another.
Five (5) Rings Abilities ; •Anton - Air ability (teleportation) •Brent - Gold ability •Caspian - Mental ability •Dion - Fire ability •Joker - mutated Water ability (Ice) •Heart - Fire ability •Diamond - Gold ability •Spade - Earth ability (refining) •Club - mutated Wood (healing)
Calum Family Abilities ; •Xander - Lightning & Fire ability (like last life) - Dark ability (Corrosion) (unexpectedly) •Artemis - mutated Space & Mental ability B(like last life) - Control ability (unexpectedly) (beast, plants, people) •Zion - mutated Wood (Poison) - Mental ability (like last life) •Alexis - mutated Gold (metallization) - mutated Fire (lava)
Out of Xander and Artemis' expectations, new abilities were inspired and added to their already dual-line abilities. She inspired a control ability, while Xander inspired an additional dark ability.
Zion, Alexis and the Five Ring's abilities are still the same as last life.
Shadow (black panther) and Snow (snow wolf) started to mutate and grow rapidly. Wonka (golden snake. Zion's pet) on the other hand, materialized an ability to shrink and spit corrosive poison.
On the 15th day, more than 3/4 of the 800 subordinates have an ability. The remaining 100+ will continue to Cultivate in their rooms.
More than 800 Subordinates Abilities ; • Air ability - 12 • Gold ability - 53 • Fire ability - 51 • Earth ability - 75 • Wood ability - 50 • Water ability - 47 • Mental ability - 17 • Light (healing) ability - 8 • Space ability - 7
• Strength mutant - 159 • Speed mutant - 138 • Assorted mutation - 113 • (no ability so far) - 100+
Speed, Strength, Vision, Hearing and Perception mutants also appeared. Mutants, although they are not as strong as the ability user, mutants are many times more stronger and useful than ordinary soldiers.
A month into Apocalypse, Calum's subordinates' strength is incomparable to anyone.
Artemis even gifted a bag of nucleus each, to upgrade their abilities faster. The loyalty and respect of these elite force to the Calum family have reached maximum (devotion) level.
After 30 days in the base, the group decided to go back to Villa and rest. However..
