Inside the Genesis Ark, people were moving back and forth quickly. It had been two days since the Ark had been in Devcon-2 and the ark had undergone a series of changes.
The weather outside had taken a nosedive as there weren't any traces of sun anymore. The world is now filled with frost wind, howling fiercely. Anyone below the first circle would last more than ten seconds before they froze to death while the First circle would only last a little longer than one minute.
"How are we going to restock our supplies?" Nasir asked as he looked at the faces of the people around him.
"Isn't that obvious, we search for it in the city," rab answered.
"How are you feeling?" Kira looked at Susan and asked.
"I'm good. Thanks for asking." Susan said with a smile. Though her face was a little whiten. Its body had almost recovered.
Opposite her was Nika, wrapped in bandages, like a mummy. Grandpa Philip wasn't any better as he was forcing himself to drink his hot tea.
"His majesty has arrived." A voice said in a loud voice.
At once, those in the room stood on their feet as they looked in a certain direction.
"Take your seat." Justin waves his hand.
Behind him was a young man carrying a big box. When the people saw the big box. Their thoughts began to run wide.
Thud!
The young man dropped the box and left in a large stride. Justin fixed his gaze on Grandpa Philip and said.
"Old man, how are you feeling?"
"Your highness, these old bones are alright and won't die anyti soon." He said confidently.
"I can see that." He nodded and turned to Susan.
"Susan, it's good to have you back among us."
"The pleasure is mine," Susan replied.
"Who is this?" He turned to Nika.
"Your Majesty…" Nika responded in annoyance. How can he not know Justin was making fun of him?
"Is that you… Nika?" He asked, pretending to be surprised.
"Who the hell wrap you like a mummy? Tell , I will fight for justice on your behalf." He added seriously.
Hearing this, the people in the room rolled their eyes as they tried to hold their laughter.
Nika opened his mouth to talk but didn't know what to say. He shook his head and slamd into his chair and accepted his fate.
"Don't you know the person? Tell , I'm not kidding." He continued his act with a straight face.
"Chloe, are you the one that did him like that?" He turned to her.
"I—"
"What? How can you be so heartless? Don't you know it's an offense to treat a brave soldier like that?" He interrupted.
Pfff
Nasir was finding it difficult to hold his laughter when he saw Chloe's confused gaze.
"I'll pardon you this ti around. Next ti when you want to wrap him, don't leave any place unwrapped. Make him a complete mummy." He said seriously.
"Your Majesty!" Nika cried in aggrieve
Hahaha!
The people burst into laughter as they saw Nika's face. It was a rare mont for them to see his face like that.
Unknown to them, the tense atmosphere dissolves with laughter.
Swoosh!
Justin threw a scroll to him and he caught it easily with his left arm. He looked at the scroll and looked at Justin.
"You have a strong physique but you don't have the battle skills to go along with it. That should solve the problem."
What!?
Nika widens his eyes as he quickly opens the scroll.
___Preying Fist__

___
"Thank you." He said as his g breath quickened. He knew if he wanted to get this skill, it would take him a long ti. Besides, he may never find it.
"Mack," A scroll appeared in front of him.
He caught the scroll and took a cursory look. At once, his face brightened.
___Enchanting Cot Slam___
Type: Battle Skill
Grade: Uncommon.
Tier: 3
Form: 4

"Thank you." He said. He never expected him to give him battle skills with their previous clashes. He was already satisfied with his post being returned to him. But now…
He didn't know what to feel. 'I guess my previous behavior was childish.' He thought with a bittersweet smile on his face.
Quickly, almost everyone had received a thing or two from Justin, leaving them astounded.
"I should have given you sooner but the situation doesn't warrant it," Justin said.
"There are so weapons that I have sent to the inventory. If any of you need a weapon, you can redeem it with your contribution point."
"And if you're wondering how I get it. I've already told you before." He clapped his hand and his expression turned serious.
"You've all known of our current problem. What is my first objective?" He asked, looking at Chloe.
"Food and dicine." She responded instantly.
"Alright. How are the machines we brought back?" he asked.
"So of them are damaged but we manage to fix so. Now people can use them."
"What of the lower sections?" He asked.
"Everything is fine. With the current Deacon-2, everyone is busy as no one has the ti to cause a problem." Mack responded.
"What are we going to do with the shortage of water?" he asked.
"If we could find a train station. We could solve the problem temporarily." Susan said.
"Good. Mack, where is the next train station."
Quickly, Mack brought out a big map and spread it on the table. He read the map for a couple of seconds before he announced.
"3 hours to our south."
"Alright." He knitted his brow and thought for a mont.
"As we all know, this is a temporary solution. We need to co out with a permanent one."
"Can't we recycle everything we are using?" Kira said slowly.
Hmm?
Chloe looked at Kira and brightened her eyes. Her brain began to run Mach 10. After doing so complicated thinking, the glow in her eyes brightened.
"We can. We just need so machines and simple modification." She said happily.
"But there isn't room on the ark for that," Nasir said.
"Then we create a room for it," Justin announced.
"Can we join another car to the Ark?" he asked, turning to Chloe.
"Yes."
"Good. We need to find another train and join it with the Ark." He added.
"rab and I will try to search for so supplies while Mack and the others will deal with the water problem," Justin announced.
"Get ready everyone. We must not make a mistake."
Three-hour wisp by and the ark rushed toward the subway. At the control room, Justin stood behind two young n that were controlling the ark.
"If you detect anything abnormal. Don't hesitate to let know." Justin said to the two young n.
"Yes, your majesty." The chorus.
Hiss!
The ark reduced its speed as it arrived at the train station. rab was already waiting by the door with her bow in hand.
Creak!
Justin and rab step out of the train without making a sound. The subway was desolate with a putrid sll.
The duo proceeds deeper into the station without encountering anything.
"You can co out," Justin said to his radio.
At once, a group of n rushes out of the train with rifles in their hands. They secure the periter as Chloe and a middle-aged man co out.
Under Chloe's lead, the n began their operation. Everyone was guarding as their eyes darted back and forth.
"It stuck. I can't open it." A young man whispered.
"Let handle it," Mack said.
As Chloe was trying to solve the water problem, Justin and rab ventured deeper.
They ransacked the train station for anything useful but unfortunately, their luck wasn't good.
"Your Mayest, this place has been looted," rab whispered. "What should we do?"
Justin thought for a mont before he decided. 'This is a rare mont. We can't go back empty-handed
"Let's go to the surface." He said.
The duo rushed to the surface as a howl of frost wind assaulted them. However, the wind bounced around them under Justin's powerful sound field.
Ice frost filled the city, leaving no place untouched. They rushed under the cold from one building to another but everything had been looted or frozen.
"The weather is destroying everything," rab muttered.
"Hmm, hmm. It's only a matter of ti before everything gets destroyed." Justin added.
Creak!
A slight sound echoed on the street, forcing Justin and rab to halt on their track. They looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
Quickly, the duo rushed toward the sound direction. After walking for a couple of minutes, the duo arrived in front of a building.
"This a five-star hotel" rab whispered.
"Do you know this place?" Justin asked.
"Yes. Don't you know this building?" she asked in puzzlent.
"Should I?"
"This is one of the biggest five-star hotels in the city. And do you know who owns it?" She asked with a knowing smile.
"Who?"
"Susan's family."
